Thanks for all the reviews so far everyone! I REALLY appreciate it :D And I'm glad you all liked chapter five. I just wanted to have a lighthearted chapter after all the mostly serious ones. Too much drama. Anyways, as a thanks for all the reviews for chapter five too, here is the update I promised :)
Sam and Carly slowly walked into the Ridgeway building, laughing lightly.
"Oh, that reminds me." Sam started after Carly finished her story "This one time, my mom was tired of me whining about my need for some fried chicken, so she took me to BF Wings. Okay, and after we got our food, we sat down by this group of old people. And there was this one lady and you won't believe what she said. Guess." Sam paused, waiting for Carly to respond, but no answer came "Carly?" the blonde asked as she looked at her friend.
Carly was looking off in the distance at something, or better, someone.
Sam sighed, forgetting about finishing her story, and said "Go talk to him, you know you want to bring that device of torture back into our lives."
Carly's head snapped over to Sam "It's stuff like that that made him leave Sam."
"No, it's me talking about his dad that made him leave. We both know he liked me picking on him. He told me himself that it would be too weird if I didn't make his life miserable."
"Well maybe if you didn't pick on him so much, he wouldn't have quit being our friends when you brought up his dad. You were the one who wasn't smart enough to keep your stupid mouth shut." Carly was practically yelling.
Sam was a little surprised at Carly's words, but continued anyway "Whoa whoa whoa, we're mad at Freddie not me. Remember?"
"We're not mad at anyone. We're trying to get Freddie back."
"Then why are you yelling at me if no one is mad?"
"Because I'm frustrated!" Carly screeched "It's been days and we can't get Freddie back."
"Carls, it's only been barely three days."
"Well it feels a heck of a-lot longer." Carly's voice was rising again.
"I know." Sam said somewhat sadly.
"You know?" Carly questioned with confusion "I thought you didn't miss him. Oh my God! You do don't you?"
Sam quickly covered for her mistake "No! I meant it like I know it feels longer because you've been whining the whole time. It's killing me. Enjoy your time without the nub." Sam's quick thinking led Carly to believe.
"Hey! I don't whine…all the time."
Sam smiled "Okay, we've been talking too long. Go beg for his forgiveness before he goes to class." Sam gave her friend a light shove in Freddie's direction.
Carly nodded confidently to Sam, then made her way to the brown haired boy.
She reached his locker and paused, not knowing what to say.
"Um…hey Freddie." she said shyly.
But unlike yesterday, he didn't give any acknowledgement she was there.
So Carly tried again "Can we please talk about this?"
Freddie moved his eyes up to the girl "If you want to talk about things I don't, why don't you just ask my mom."
The memory from last night crashed into Carly's thoughts "I'm so sorry about your dad. And so is Sam."
"If Sam's so sorry about it, why isn't she here apologizing?"
Carly's voice box seemed to malfunction.
"Exactly." Freddie turned to leave but Carly stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.
"Can you give us another chance?"
"I don't think I can."
"Please, for me?" Carly pulled out an old trick, hoping against hope that it would work.
"Look Carly, you can't use that on me. We talked about this. You know I don't have a crush on you anymore." After Carly and Freddie broke up and waited for Freddie's casts to come off, they'd both discovered their true feelings for each other. Freddie found little connection each time they'd kissed, and Carly did only like Freddie because he saved her life.
"Well, them can you do it for our years of friendship? If you come back I promise to stand up for you more and make Sam back down."
"Carly, even if you did make that happen, everything would go back to usual anyway. After a couple weeks or months, you'd forget and Sam would fire up again, and I'd be treated horrible."
"But Freddie-"
The warning bell suddenly rang, cutting Carly off.
"I have to get to class." Freddie said emotionlessly as he left, leaving Carly in shock that he was still upset and refused to go back to being her friend.
"It's frog's butt!" Carly yelled angrily as she sat down next to Sam at lunch.
"I like seeing you go all psycho. It's so rare." Sam smirked.
"Well, Freddie acts like he's the only one who's gone through chiz with his parents! Sure he lost his dad which sucks, but your dad's not here either! And both my parents are overseas, so I hardly get to talk to them more than once a month! And they could both die at any second! At least he knows his mom is safe!"
"Relax Carls."
"No! He needs to man up and stop being a wuss when people bring up his dad."
"I know you don't mean that."
Carly gave Sam a stern, upset look, before she went soft "I know too. I'm just mad. Why won't he forgive us? Everyone makes mistakes."
"Because he's a nub Carl. And that's what nubs do."
"Would you stop insulting him!? That's part of the problem."
"Carly, it'll be okay."
"But what if it isn't Sam? What if he never forgives us? He's one of the most important people in my life. I can't just pretend he no longer exists." As Carly said this, she glanced across the cafeteria at Freddie who had switched to Gibby's table.
"We can fix this."
"But what if we can't?"
"No." Sam said firmly "I mean we can fix this."
"What?" Carly questioned.
Sam smirked evilly "I have an idea."
Carly grew excited "Well spill it!"
Oooooooooh, looks like the girls are gonna hatch a plan to get the Fredster back :D
Oh, and I have a confirmed source about where I got Carly's parents' information. On the Nickelodeon site under About The Show in the iCarly section, it was said that Carly and Spencer's parents were overseas. But for Sam's dad, I just guessed. Although I'm pretty sure Freddie's dad is dead since it's Mrs. Benson and there is no husband...
