Chapter 4: Past, Present, and Future
Freddie was sitting up on the fire escape just to think. I don't know what to do, he hadn't talked to Freddie since he told her how he felt.
Flashback
Sam came out on the fire escape and tapped onto the window. Freddie looked at her and gestured her to come out. Sam sat down on the frame of the window. Freddie walked over and turned down the music.
"That was really brave, what you said." Freddie said.
"You heard?" Sam asked. Freddie grabbed his computer.
"You didn't think I'd miss iCarly?" Sam smiled.
"I'm sorry," Sam apologized. "about telling people you've never kissed anyone...and about putting blue cheese dressing in your shampoo bottle...and about sending your cell phone to Cambodia...everything, okay?"
"So this means you're not gonna mess with me anymore?"
"No, I'm still gonna mess with you. I'm just gonna apologize every few years so I can start fresh again."
"Good."
"Good?"
"Yeah. It'd be too weird if you didn't make my life miserable all the time." Freddie paused, and then continued. "But you know, maybe you could pull back just a little bit-"
"I don't think so." Sam interrupted.
"Yeah, I didn't either."
"It's so dumb." Sam said.
"What do you mean?"
"You know, how people get freaked out over their first kiss. Stupid."
"So you weren't lying? You've really never kissed anyone?"
"Nope." She paused. "Sometimes I just wish I could get it out of the way."
"Yeah, you know, me too."
"Right? You know, just so I can stop worrying about it."
"Yeah." Freddie gave a short laugh.
"What?"
"Nothin' it's-"
"Tell me."
"Naw, it's dumb."
"Say it!"
"Okay, I was just gonna say-"
"That we should kiss?"
"You're gonna break my arm now right?"
"No."
"Well, should we? Just so both of us can get it over with?"
"Hmm. Just to get it over with?"
"Just to get it over with."
"And you swear we go right back to hating each other as soon as it's over?" She said as she scooted over.
"Oh, totally." Freddie paused. "And we never tell anyone."
"Never." Freddie stared at her for a minute.
"Well, lean." Freddie leaned in to kiss her and they kissed. After the kiss, Sam looked confused and Freddie looked somewhat satisfied.
"Well, that was-"
"Nice?"
"Yeah, nice."
"Good work."
"Thank you. You too." Sam started to leave.
"Hey," Freddie said. "I hate you."
"Hate you too." Sam left and Freddie looked after her.
End of Flashback
"Aw, man!" Freddie said, confused.
"Carly!" Sam called from outside Carly's door. When she didn't answer, Sam picked the lock and went inside.
"Hey Sam." Spencer said. "How'd you get in here? The door was locked."
"Not really. Where's Carly?" Sam said.
"She's upstairs in the iCarly studio."
"How's your sculpture comin'?"
"Great, I'm almost finished!" Sam looked at it. He had painted EL TACO on the front in red paint."
"Nice." Sam went upstairs.
"Hi, Sam." Carly said, as Sam stepped into the iCarly studio.
"Hey. Can I talk to you?"
"Of course, what's up?"
"I need some advice." She paused. "What if you liked a guy for so long, and you just figured out he liked you back?"
"Anyone specific?"
"No." Sam lied. "Just wondering."
"Well, I'd talk to that person about it."
"What if you were afraid to say anything about it?"
"Well, if you really like them, then you should be brave enough to say something about it."
"Thanks, I gotta go." Sam rushed out the door.
Sam came out onto the fire escape.
"Freddie?" Sam said.
"Sam?"
"Yeah, I was thinking maybe we could talk."
"Me too."
"The other day, I didn't answer your question, you answered your question."
"Do you have an answer now?"
"Yes, I like you, a lot." Freddie was shocked.
"Well what are we gonna do?"
"Look, you are with Melanie." She sighed. "You like her, not me."
"But-"
"I can't get rid of your relationship just because I like you."
"Sam,-" She was gone before he could say a word. Now the only question was: Who did he love more? Melanie or Sam?
The next day, Freddie was at his locker when Melanie came by.
"Hey, Freddie!" She said in her high soprano voice.
"Melanie I-"
"I got you something." She interrupted.
"What for?" Freddie asked. She handed it to him.
"Oh, just open it." Freddie opened it up.
"Is this you?" he asked. He pointed to the picture frame.
"Yup."
"Is this....Sam?"
"Yes it is."
"Well, thank you Melanie." She hugged him. Freddie hugged her back. Sam was starring right at them. She quickly disappeared from sight.
"Great!"
"What?"
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
"Sam!" Freddie called, banging on her door. "Sam! Please open the door. Please." No answer. "Hey, I know what you saw, but...it's not what it looks like. I don't want you to go away, Sam." No answer. "Ok, I get it. I can't fix the same thing I broke. Later." He walked away.
Sam looked out her door, but he'd already left. She sat by her door and started to cry.
"Sam?" Freddie said. She looked up.
"Hi." She said as she stood up. She hugged him tightly.
"Just go." Sam said. She pushed him away and went back inside.
"In 5, 4, 3, 2-" Freddie pointed at Carly and Sam.
"I'm Carly."
"I'm Sam."
"And this is iCarly!" Sam hit the applause button on her remote. "Tonight on iCarly we have a very special guest!"
"That's right!"
"It just so happens that Sam has a sister!"
"Get out here, Melanie!" Melanie walked out. Sam and Freddie shared quick glance.
"Hi!" Melanie said. The rest of the show was awkward. Sam and Freddie tried to ignore each other as much as possible. It wasn't working to well.
The next day, Freddie and Melanie were walking to class together. Sam saw them. She intentionally passed them and left.
"Aw, man!" Freddie said, quickly. "I'm sorry. I have to fix this." Freddie ran out the door. Sam was walking on the sidewalk.
"Sam!" Freddie said as he caught up with her.
"I don't wanna talk, Benson."
"But I do."
"Well, I'm not going to, alright?"
"Just hear me out, okay?" She didn't answer. "Look, it's not what you think. Could you just stop for a minute?"
"No."
"Sam."
"What?" She said as she stopped and turned around. He walked up to her and kissed her.
So.....What do you think? Review!!!!!!
