Sam closed the door to the Shay's apartment and turned to face Freddie.
"Listen, I-" They both said at the same time and blushed.
"You go" Said Freddie, signalling to Sam.
"Ok," She began "I…I'm sorry about what happened back there. It's just so hard for me to show what I really feel. I shouldn't have half-heartedly hugged you and said I'd miss you and then just let you go, I should've held you tight, looked you in the eyes and told you…told you I love you."
A silence filled the air, as Freddie stared at Sam in disbelief.
Sam ended the silence.
"But…you…I guess you still love Carly, so I'll just-" Sam began, however she was interrupted by Freddie, who had kissed her. They kissed for what seemed like years, it was magical, but when they finally pulled apart, Freddie spoke.
"I love you too, Sam."
"You're such a sap."
"Blonde-headed demon!"
"Dork!"
"Hah…I love when we argue."
"Me too." Said Sam, smiling "So I guess you're staying now?"
Freddie looked at the floor before saying "Staying? Sam I…I love you but this is the experience of a lifetime and…if you love me you'll be happy for me."
Sam was silent. She knew he was right, she just wished he wasn't. A tear slithered down her face as she looked up at Freddie and said "You're right. Well…I guess this is goodbye."
Sam kissed Freddie goodbye and watched him get into the elevator and leave Bushwell Plaza. Once he was out of earshot, she burst into tears. "I guess the phrase "Sam Puckett never cries" can't really be used anymore…" she thought.
Carly smiled, wiping a tear away from her eye. She was a naturally nosey person and had been watching Sam and Freddie through the peep hole in her front door this whole time. She always thought they'd make the perfect couple, it was just sad that Freddie had to leave just as they confessed their love for each other. "It's just like a sad romantic comedy movie…" Carly thought, and went to sit on the couch waiting for a devastated Sam to walk in.
OK people of earth, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I just want to tell you guys that this is NOT the end of the story… I hate sad endings so I couldn't end it like this. I'll update either this evening or on Sunday (tomorrow I'm going to the seaside woohoo!).
