(Freddie's POV)

Later after school, after walking and wandering around trying to wrap my head around what Sam told me that day. I found myself back at Bushwell. I knocked on the door, jiggled the handle and opened it to find Spencer building something that looked like a giant surfboard.

"Hey, Spencer." I said opening the door.

"Hey, Fred man," he greeted, "Carly's not home yet. She and Sam are at the Groovy Smoothie.

"Well," I said. "Can I come in anyway?"

"Do you need to borrow money?" He asked.

"Do I ever need to borrow money?" I retorted.

"Come on in!" He responded fake-enthusiastically.

I entered the Shay manor and sat on the couch my head looking to the ceiling.

"Why so down, friend?" Spencer then asked.

I sighed. "I don't know."

"This wouldn't happen to do with Sam signing you up for the talent show is it?" Spencer asked.

"How did you know about that?" I answered dumbfounded.

"Sam tweeted it." Spencer answered holding up his Pear phone.

"Great," I said. "Now I have no choice but to do it."

"Well," Spencer responded. " I think Sam's heart was in the right place by making that action.

"How was her heart in the right place?" I asked. "Knowing Sam its just another ploy to embarrass me."

"True, Sam would do something like that." Spencer said in thought. "But, I believe she had a good reason for it this time. After all, you never did tell anyone you knew how to sing. And according to Sam she believes that it's a way to gain what you lost."

"What I lost?" I asked.

"I overheard Carly and Sam talking." he replied. "But don't tell them I said that. I mean think about it. You broke up with Carly why?"

"Because I thought she was grateful for me just saving her." I answered.

"And who told you that?" Spencer then asked.

"Sam," I answered.

"And now another question. How often do you listen to Sam?" Spencer then asked "Especially when she speaks of bacon?"

And that's when things started to make sense again. I knew I shouldn't have listened to Sam pertaining to her "foreign bacon" analogy pertaining to my relationship with Carly.

"Okay," I then replied. "So now my focus is getting Carly back!" I then looked at Spencer forgetting for a second that that was her little sister, "Sorry," I then said.

"No worries," Spencer then said, "Everybody whose anybody knows that you want to be with Carly. And I know you'd never hurt her intentionally. So I actually feel safer knowing that she likes and wants to be with you."

"Thanks, Spencer," I said shocked. I mean mind you I always considered Spencer to be the big brother Sam and I never had, but now I could see why Carly always stayed with him all this time. Sure he has his…eccentric moments, but at that moment there I saw a different side of him that I've never seen in my entire life. Kind of an unofficial welcome to the Shay family that can only be done by someone like him.

"So, I guess that means you're going to do the talent show?" Spencer then asked.

"I have to," I answered. "It may be my only chance."

"So what are you gonna do?" He inquired.

"Well, I have been working on something," I answered, "Mind if I use your ivories?"

"Knock yourself out," He replied.

So with that I sat down at the piano and started to play a few keys before I started playing.

(Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars)

Oh, her eyes, her eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shining

And her hair, her hair

Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful

And I tell her everyday

Yeah I know, I know

When I complement her she won't believe me

And its so, its so

Sad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay

I say

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause, girl you're amazing

Just the way you are, yeah!

Her lips, her lips

I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh

She hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful

And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know

I'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching for

Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking

If you look okay

You know I'll say

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause, girl you're amazing

Just the way you are

The way you are

The way you are

Girl you're amazing

Just the way you are

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause, girl you're amazing

Just the way you are, YEAH!

(Song ends)

"So," I asked catching my breath, "What did you think?"

I looked to his direction to find him crying on the couch.

"I think she'll love it!" He said between sobs.

"Man hug?" I said opening my arms

"I would like that!" He responded hugging me.

Author's Note: So due to debate with...other parties I decided to give Spencer a place in this fiction. Next we'll focus on what Carly & Sam will do, and if Sam's plans are involved. So Read an Review but NO FLAMES! Much appreciated. Thanks to all who support shadow21.
