iWill always love you Chapter 7:
iRome Part 1
(This is the first major three parter in the series. I concentrated on having it as two parts, but it's just too good to be true, so I decided to split it into three. I hope this will get me reviews. Reviews make my day. And remember I mentioned Spencer's old girlfriend in a previous chapter? That girl will make an appearance sometime in the three parter. )
Finally, the gang made it to their final leg of the European tour. Rome Italy. They were going to be there for a whole two weeks. The gang was super excited to be spending the final leg of their journey in a place that was filled with shopping. The four friends were glad that they were in a place that had amazing pizzas. They were pizza fanatics. Carly and Freddie have been best friends once again. It was like the huge showdown in Paris had never happened. Carly was still debating how she felt about Freddie. Freddie was still thinking about a way to boost up his plan. Now that Shane was out of the picture, he was about ready to take their friendship to the next level. Not the relationship level, but the level where Carly would realize that he was always the right one for her. Gibby and Tasha were still going strong, but Gibby had a bad feeling that he wasn't going to be happy with what he was greeted with when he would come home. And Kimberly was still fighting the urge to tell Gibby the fact that she had fallen in love with him the first time that she had laid eyes on him. She wanted to tell him so badly, but she just couldn't. Besides he was with Tasha now. She just couldn't torture him like that.
The first day in Italy was fun. They saw all of the historical sights including the Coliseum, and the Spanish Steps. Carly and Freddie were now sitting in an acclaimed pizzeria in town. They were enjoying each other's company basically. What they didn't know someone was watching them from a table. The girl had looked quite familiar to him.
"Freddie I can't wait until July." Carly said. The two had since found out that Sam and Melanie were also on their way to Los Angeles.
"I know I can't wait either. So many adventures we get to take." Freddie said.
"And we won't have to be on separate sides of the world anymore." Carly said.
"That right there may be the best reason why I can't wait for the summer to come." Freddie said.
"Really? Do you have other reasons?" Carly said laughing.
:"Well we won't have to do all of those assignments anymore, we won't have to deal with my crazy mom, and most importantly I get to spend a lot of time with my best friend." Freddie said smiling.
"By best friend you mean me right?" Carly said blushing.
"Well...yeah." Freddie admitted.
"I can't wait to spend time with my best guy friend either." Carly said smiling.
"Just think about it Carls, in three months all of that will finally be ours." Freddie said with a smile.
"I can't wait to study to be a fashion designer. I think it's always been my dream." Carly said as she took another bite of the delicious pizza.
"I know right? And I can't wait to be a technical producer. I hope a major network will hire me." Freddie said.
"Don't worry. Someone will find you. Considering your background on iCarly, they will for sure find you." Carly said taking Freddie's hand.
"You always believe in me Carls. Thanks." Freddie said smiling.
"Hey. That's what friends are for." Carly said smiling. Freddie pulled her in for a bone crashing hug.
"I feel so lucky to have you as a best friend." Freddie said with a smile.
"It feels good on this end too." Carly said.
"You are just too good to be true Carly Shay." Freddie said as he led Carly out of the restaurant after the two paid for lunch.
The man observing them was intrigued by her name. Carly Shay. If she dare was related to that Spencer Shay who was his arch enemy in High School, things were taking a turn for the good. But he wanted nothing to do with her. He was eyeing that boy. He also looked way too familiar. But since Spencer was his arch enemy, and he didn't feel like hurting Carly, he thought it would be best if he took out his anger and hatred he had kept inside of him for all of these years on the boy who seemed to have a liking to Carly. He felt like the feeling was mutual. But he couldn't let it be. Spencer had killed the love of his life, and he wasn't going to let this Carly get her happy ending. He would do everything in his power to prevent that from happening. He had kidnapped Nadine because he felt like it was revenge for what Spencer had done to his girlfriend just a couple of weeks ago. The man slowly followed the duo to their hotel. He knew that they would be out and about during the night. So he would have to get down to business then. For now he needed to go check on Nadine.
ACROSS TOWN
Nadine Carter was in the same position she had been for the past 12 years of her life. She had been tied to a chair with the same clothes that she had worn the night Warren Jackson had taken her. Warren had dropped out of school in Seattle. Nadine was still constantly thinking of Spencer Shay. The man she loved in High School and still loved to this day. It was their first anniversary when she had been kidnapped. Someone had suffocated her in her hotel room and simply taken her. When she awoke tied to a chair that someone was revealed to be Warren. He explained that he had done it simply out of revenge. Since Jackie Vandane was accidentally killed Warren had promised revenge on Spencer. Jackie was Nadine's best friend. She had been struck by Spencer's car. Spencer had been driving in the rain that night so it wasn't clear where he was going. He only noticed a faint outline of a girl walking the road that seemed to get closer and closer to the car. Spencer blared the horn, only to be horrified 20 seconds later when his best friend was revealed to be struck by his car. Spencer told Nadine the entire story. She believed in him. Since the police witnessed the accident and clearly saw no need to arrest Spencer they had let him off with a warning. Nadine was crying when she brought back the memories of their senior year at Ridgeway. It was supposed to be the best year for her. But thanks to Warren, that didn't happen. Nadine cried when she thought of Warren. She viewed him as a monster. Just as she thought of that evil man there he was making his way into the small apartment.
"How are you holding up?" He asked
"How do you think I'm holding up here you idiot? I've felt the same way I've felt 12 years ago." Nadine said.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad." Warren said.
"Warren, you've held me captive here for the past 12 years now. Will you ever put this whole thing to rest?" Nadine asked.
"How dare you ask me that. Shay killed Jackie and now he paid. By taking the love of his life taken away from him." Warren said.
"It was a freakin accident Warren! Spencer couldn't see a thing when he was driving. No one could!" Nadine said.
"You know what, believe what you want to believe. The fact is your never getting out of here." Warren said with an evil smile. "Now." Warren said as he picked up a baseball bat. "I hear Shay's sister is in town."
"Carly? She's the sweetest girl ever." Nadine said. She and Carly had gotten along well. Of course she was only 2 when she met her.
"Yes. Carly's got a guy. And she is not going to get her happy ending either. " Warren laughed before he slammed the front door.
A tear slid down Nadine's cheek. Warren had made it his life's mission to destroy the Shay siblings. Now that Carly was in Italy, things could only go downhill. She wished she could do something about this. But she was tied to a chair. She couldn't be at service.
"Spencer, I love you." Nadine said as she once again burst into a new batch of tears.
CARLY AND SPENCER'S LOFT
Spencer was pacing his room. He couldn't get any sleep that night. Just like any other night, thoughts of Nadine were invading his mind. He couldn't believe that she was gone. Something in his heart was telling him that Nadine was safe, but she was in danger. Spencer had that gut feeling ever since he had returned from the two month tour of Europe. He missed Nadine dearly. And he wished he could at least tried a lot harder in trying to find her. The memories of Nadine kept invading his mind. Their first kiss on his 16th birthday, the time she actually said yes to a date after trying to get her to like him since the first grade, the time he promised her that he would love her forever, and the memories of their first anniversary. He was going to surprise her and propose to her on top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But the plan was on hold when he found out that she was kidnapped the morning of their anniversary. He had been trying to wrack his brain for an explanation for the past 12 years but nothing had come to him. He wished it did though. He really needed to know what had happened to his Nadine. She had been gone from his life for 12 years. But he knew that she was out there somewhere. He just needed to keep believing that. If he did, then maybe, just maybe his wish would come true.
ITALY
Carly and Freddie were now with Gibby and Kimberly in their hotel room. Freddie had been trying to wrack his brains as to what to give Carly for her birthday. It was in three days. He knew he needed to find her something. He already planned a romantic night in the city with her. But there was something in his gut that told him that things were not going to go as planned. He really had no idea why. But something told him that danger was around the corner. He didn't want to believe it, but it kept coming back into his mind.
"Hey Carly, we have to go." Kimberly said. Kimberly and Gibby left the hotel room.
"Looks like it's just the two of us now." Carly said as she kissed Freddie on the cheek.
"And what was that for?" Freddie said once again pulling her in for a hug.
"For being the best friend anyone can ever ask for." Carly smiled.
"And this hug." Freddie said as he hugged her tighter. "Is for always being there for me. And for always caring for me."
"Hey. I'm returning the favour. I mean most of the time, you take good care of me and there are never enough words to say how grateful I was when you took care of me for an entire month." Carly smiled.
"What on earth do you expect? I mean no one else was there. And besides I had to take care of my girl." Freddie smirked. Carly giggled. She loved it when he called her that.
"Thank you so much for caring for me all of these years Freddie." Carly smiled.
"And thank you for being there for these past years." Freddie smiled.
"Hey, I love you and Sam with my life. I would never flee Seattle. That's practically my home." Carly said smiling.
"I'm glad." Freddie said.
"Oh hey, I just realized my birthday is in three days." Carly beamed. She had been enjoying this trip so much that she had totally forgot about her birthday.
"Hey, I gotta go...I have to go meet Kimberly and Gibby about the loft.' Freddie said.
"All right then." Carly said as she got off the bed to hug her best friend.
"Goodnight Carls." Freddie smiled.
"Goodnight Freddie." Carly said as she hugged him one last time before shutting the door. Something in her gut was telling her that something was definitely going to go wrong.
ITALY (STREETS)
Freddie was walking home with shopping bags. He had bought Carly the perfect gift. He had got her the designer bag that she had been eyeing the first night they were in Italy. He also got his mom a new blouse that he knew she would love, he got Spencer a new art kit that could prove to be handy. Freddie wasn't really paying attention when he noticed that he was being grabbed by the back and being carried behind the alley-way behind the restaurant they had lunch in that afternoon.
"Oh my god put me down! I SAID PUT ME DOWN!" Freddie screamed helplessly.
"I don't believe we've formally met." Warren said as he smashed the baseball bat in his hands.
"Who are you?" Freddie asked as he gulped.
"That's not important." Warren said. He looked over the boy. For some strange reason he looked like his cousin Pablo. "Now say goodnight." Warren smiled as he began smashing the baseball bat against Freddie. Freddie screamed in pain, in hopes of someone finding him. But the louder he would scream, the harder Warren would hit. He had gone through so much pain. Freddie didn't even know this man. But he was hurting him. When all of the damage was done, Warren ran off.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
"Kimberly that was such an amazing eatery." Gibby and Kimberly were walking out of the pizzeria.
"Hey Gibbs. Do you hear something?" Kimberly said. There was a faint whimpering that could be heard in the background.
"Yeah." Kimberly and Gibby began to follow the noise to the back of the restaurant.
Once they reached the back of the restaurant they noticed there was a pool of some black substance. When they followed the pool they found the most horrific sight known to man.
