A/N: Sorry for the late update, first I had a trip at the end of the summer, then I had a whole bunch of stuff in the new school year... being a prefect and a committee member of 2 school clubs is really exhausting. :P And a piano exam really makes me stressful.

Listening to Shut Up N Dance while typing... enjoy.

Chapter 10

Freddie was getting frustrated.

It has been 5 days since Carly slammed the door in his face, and she made no attempt to make small talk with him in the last few days. At school, the situation was even worse. Every time Freddie approched her by her locker, she would slam the door in his face, leaving him rubbing his sore spot while she walked away to class.

With no one to talk to, Freddie flipped thorugh the channels aimlessly, since he had no one to talk to once the Pucketts moved away the day before. Determined to find out what Carly's up to, he got out the Shay's spare apartment key, which was given to them by Spencer a while ago, unlocked the door to their loft and stepped inside.

Laughter died down once he stepped into the living room. Carly's laugh was replaced by a scowl in an instant, glaring at Freddie as he came in. He spotted Spencer waving cheerfully at him in the kitchen, and he smiled back.

Spencer motioned for Freddie to come over, and whispered in his ear, "Hey Freddie, Carly doesn't seem too happy after she refused to see you on Monday... perhaps you two could work things out? I mean, you're her only friend after Sam and Melanie moved away... you won't mind, do you? Arguments can't break friends up." Spencer gave him a smile.

That's an understatement, Freddie thought. "I talk to her." Spencer nodded and continued, "I'll leave you two alone." He then went back into him room. Freddie then turned towards Carly, but she looked away, suddenly interested in the flower pot on the shelf.

Half an hour later, the two of them were still rooted in their original spots, none of them making effort to talk to the other. The room was so silent that you could hear the low rumbling of the microwave oven. Suddenly, the room to Spencer's room opened, and Spencer peeked his head out, urging Freddie to speak to her.

Freddie knew that there was no way to get out of this, so he took a deep breath and said, "Look, Carly, I'm don't know what you are mad at me about, so..."

A loud smash could be heard, and caused Freddie and Spencer to wince. They glanced at the source of the sound, and Carly could be seen clenching her fists, and a rather ornate vase lay in pieces on the ground. Before Freddie and Spencer could say anything, Carly got up from her couch and stormed towards Freddie. She slapped Freddie hard on the cheek.

Freddie stumbled back, having no time to brace for Carly's actions. Carly then yelled at him, "Don't say all that chiz to me, Fredward. You are fully aware of what you have done!" Carly crossed her arms, glaring at Freddie. He rubbed his cheek furiously, while glancing at Spencer's bedroom. Unfortunately, he had retreated inside after the breaking of the vase.

Freddie sighed and replied, "What did I exactly do, Carls?"

Carly spoke in a dangerously sweet tome, "Oh, never remember the moment of kissing Sam? How did her lips feel, huh?" She went back to the couch and opened a bag of chips, munching on them.

Freddie's expression changed from annoyance to shock, and then to a puzzled look within 10 seconds. He asked her, "How did you find out? No one knew at..."

Out of anger, Carly chucked the bag of chips across the room, then ranted on again, "Well, I...I did take a look at the security cameras, and they showed a recording of you and Sam kissing!" Carly ended, putting heavy emphasis on "kissing".

Getting more and more puzzled, Freddie asked, "How could you actually get into the surveilance room, when no one except staff could get in?"

Carly blushed, but it went away quickly. "Well, I got on good terms with this guy, Hayden, which turned..." Before Carly could even finish, she felt a hard blow to her stomach and she doubled over.

When she got up, all she could see in Freddie's face was anger and betrayal. He spat, "You're mad at me for kissing Sam, but go off and flirt with some random guy at the hospital?" He, now fuming, glared at Carly.

Carly opened her mouth to say something, but Freddie refused to hear it. "Okay, I don't know what you say, but now," he pointed at Carly, "I hate to hear all your unreasonable accuses Carly. I don't even know what you're up to." He sighed and glared at Carly. "We're done." He walked away, waiting for Carly to show any sign of protest. He hoped to hear her come up to him, or even mouth a word of denial, calling for him to go back.

However, he heard nothing.

Spencer lay on his bed, having heard every bit of their conversation. He too hated Carly's random outbursts of anger and jealousy, but could do nothing to solve it.

A knock could be heard. "Come in!" He yelled, and Freddie walked into his room.

"Guess you heard everything, eh?" Spencer sighed.

"Yeah. I'm glad you broke up with her – you will never be able to tolerate her extreme jealously." He admitted.

Freddie sat on his bed and muttered, "Now what should I exactly do?"

Spencer tapped his forehead and replied, "Well, you could go to California to find Sam if you like her; I think she's good for you."

"Really?" Freddie wondered out loud. "You think she's right for me?"

"Well, if you really like her, why not? Go after her, Freddo. Don't let her go."

Freddie nodded. "Thanks." He hesitated for a while. Now how will I ever get to Venice? He thought. His eyes darted to Spencer.

As if he could read minds, Spencer jumped up and denied, "No, Freddo, I will not drive you to California. I don't enough... gas." He admitted sheepishly. However, once he saw the pleading eyes of Freddie, he gave in.

"Alright, I'll stop at the gas station for a refill." He picked his keys and got out of the apartment, Freddie closely following behind, leaving Carly all alone in the loft.

As the two boys made their way downstairs, Freddie's heart ached with excitement. Finally got rid of Carly... hope that Sam is much bett... no! She IS much better, he thought to himself, a grin appearing on his face.

A/N: I shall have one more chap for this story, then it'll be the epilogue! Yay! XD

Something to say: I may not return to for a short time, mainly because I really want to start writing an original story. So expect no stories for a short time, I will be right back! :D (I may write oneshots if I feel like it though.)

LadyJames: Yeah, She is really strange, even to me. However, she didn't kiss Hayden, while Freddie kissed Sam, so her rage may not be totally unreasonable. XD

Guest: Thanks. :D

Fiction girl 12: Woah, how in the world did you do multiple reviews? Let me know. Well, Carly is really kind of b****y and does unreasonable stuff in this story. Thanks, btw. XD

Guest: I did. Xx

That's all, time to go to sleep for me. :) (And P&D time! xD)

Till next time,

-Ky
