Sams POV

Its been one day since the beating of a lifetime and Im able to stand and everything. I heard the doorbell ring. I groaned and limped up. I was staying with Carly for a while until the trial and I find out who I permdently stay with. I opened the door to see Xander. "OMG!" I squealed. I hugged him.

"Sam!" He said hugging me. I hugged as tight as I could, but it was still pretty strong. "Jeez Sam! Youve gotten stronger!" I let go and smiled. "Its ok dude. OMG! I missed you!" I sqealed. "I know! Dad got arrested for murder so Im here!" He said. I smiled and hugged him. I heard footsteps come from the studio and I heard Jenette gasp. "Xander!" She said smiling. She hugged him. I looked at Carly who was eyeing him like I eyed ham. I walked over to her and smiled.

"You dig my twin" I said smirking. She blushed. "Shuddup" she whispered. I giggled.

Sams POV

"Sam are you sure your ok?" Carly asked me. I sighed. "Im fine Carls. Really!" She smiled at me. "Ok. Im just worried" I sighed. We were patroling late. Spencer and Xander were watching Jenette until moms trial. Me and Carly were patroling since Freddies mom wanted to check to see if he had leg hair yet. (A/N: I realize I hadnt put any Carly/Sam bud time together, its not that Carlys being distant, but Im gonna try to put her in more)

"Hey are we going to do iCarly Friday?" I asked. Carly gave me her I-dont-know-maybe-you-still-need-time look. I groaned. "Car-ley! Im FINE! I promise! Its just cuts and brusies" She ran her fingers through her long brown hair. "I know...your strong and everything, but you spent five years under pysical abuse. Thats not something you get over in 5 days. Its only been 3 since that night"

"I know Carly. I know. Please just drop it, Im fine cause Im alive and so is Jenette" I stopped at a freshly dug grave. "Yeah I know Sam. Why didnt you fight back? I mean when you knew you were a slayer?" I sighed. "I guess a part of me felt it was my fault, since I told her about dads affair and thats what set her off, and I loved her. But that love shattered when she threatened to kill Jenette and you guys"

Carly smiled softly. I saw a hand pop out of the grave and jumped. "OH! Vamp!" I said excitedly. One good thing out of being the slayer was being able to kill things to relive stress and anger. And not go to jial or hell for it. Carly was doing great with the slaying. She isnt even scared anymore.

"Carly!" I yelled throwing a stake at her. She caught it and we got into a fighting stance. The vamp was out halfway when he gave a look of confusion on his face. He pushed up, but was stuck. Me and Carly looked at eachother in amusment. This really brightened up my day.

"Can you help me? I seem to be stuck" The vampire asked. Carly laughed. The vampire growled. "Id like to see you live with being a vampire!" I smirked. "Youve only been a vampire for two minutes" He growled. I looked at Carly. "Wish to do the honours?" I asked. She smirked and staked him right through the heart. He screamed and burst into dust.

"Well that was entertaining!" Carly said smiling. I nodded. "Yeah. Come on. We got to be ready for court tomorrow"

"Samantha Puckett?" The prosocuter asked. This dude was on my side. I nodded. "Yeah. But call me Sam. I hate the name Samantha" He smiled at me. "Ok Sam. Please tell the jury when the abuse started"

I sighed. "Well, when I was 7, I saw my dad cheating on my mom. My dad mentaly abused me for a month and then I told mom. Dad took Jenette and Xander and left, telling me I was to unworthy of staying with him. For a week mom just cried and I was comforted by my best friends Freddie and Carly. Then one day I went to go check up on her and she beat me, finally knocking me out by kicking me in my face"

The room went silent and everyone was either looking at me, or mom. Jenette was being hugged by Freddie and I felt a wave of affection come accross me. "So youve been abused for five years?" He asked. I nodded. "Yes" He sighed and looked at me. "Can you describe the event that happened 4 days ago?" He asked. I looked at Giles and he nodded. I sighed.

"A day before my dad dropped my sister off at the house. I didnt want to tell mom because I didnt want Jenette to become abused to. So I asked my friend, Freddie, if he can take care of her, although he didnt know why. The next day, me and my friends, plus Giles who is like a dad to me, were hanging out. I asked Carly if Jenette can stay with her. She agreed" I sighed.

"Then mom called. She told me that she found out I was keeping Jenette and I better come home with her or Id die" The room gasped softly and looked at mom. Her face was red with anger. I continued "I didnt listen because I was to consered for Jenettes saftey. I told Jenette to tell Freddie, Carly, Spencer and Giles I was sorry and I loved them in the morning if they found out I was dead. She aperently got scared and told them. They saved me just before my mother flung a knife in my face"

The room looked at Carly and Freddie and they gave me a soft smile. The prosocuter nodded. "No furthrer questions" I sat down next to Freddie. He grabbed my hand and I felt a bolt of electricity shoot through me as they showed the pictures of my wounds and brusies from that night. They were now going to see if mom was guilty or not guilty.

"The jury finds the defendent, guilty of charges of child abuse and attempted murder and will recive life in prison without parol"

Jenette smiled at me and I smiled back. It was over. "HOWEVER!" The judge yelled slamming that little hammer. I froze. "We need a responsible gaurdian who has experience in raising good children" He yelled. I sighed and looked at Freddie. "Well nice knowing yah" I said slumping. Jenette and Xander groaned and slumped to. I heard a voice from the room ring out.

"I'll take them"

We whipped around to see Mrs. Benson standing up. My mouth dropped. "Mrs. Benson? I thought you hated me?" I asked in disbelif. Freddie stared at his mother in shock. Mrs. Benson smiled. "I dont hate you Sam. I think your a bit aggressive and troublemaking, but I think its great to have a strong personality even with the horrible home life you had"

Mom scoffed. "Are you questioning my parenting skills?" Mrs. Benson looked at mom in a what-do-you-think look. "No duh! Thats why were here!" she yelled. I smiled. The judge smiled at Mrs. Benson. "Amy Benson is givin full coustidy of Jenette, Xander and Sama- I mean Sam- Puckett. Case dismissed"

He smashed his hammer on the desk and left the room. Mom was struggling with the cops. Xander grabbed my hand looking at mom in rage. I guess it was horrible for him to see those pictures. Mrs. Benson smiled at us.

"Lets go home"

Jenette and Xander smiled at me. Home. A place were you are loved. And are not afraid to go home to.

So Sam got a happy ending. For the record, Mrs. Benson wont try to change Sam. Cause I love Sams personality and I dont want it changed. She wont be 'adopted' by Mrs. Benson, but she will be living there. That way its not considered wrong. LOL! Mrs. Benson will loosen up a bit and become cooler. Sam and Jenette will share a room and Xander and Freddie will share a room. ADIOS PEOPLE! LOL! Please Review! And no hate messages about how I didnt make Carly gay. Thank you!
