Hitching a Ride
It was getting pretty late and everyone was still at Carly's house. The time just flew by. Not surprising since they were laughing almost ninety percent of the time. It was a great night, everyone getting reunited, everything like it was so many years ago.
But of course, all good nights must come to an end too, and this night was no exception.
"Oh my god it's 11?" Freddie exclaimed.
"Wow, last I checked it was only 9.30. Time sure did fly." Carly said.
"Yeah. We need to head off though." Freddie said, referring to Sam and himself.
"Aww why. I don't want to go." Sam whined.
"Sam we have work on Monday and we have to get up early for the long drive back to L.A. tomorrow." Freddie said.
"Argh why do we have to work?" Sam said.
"Wow I guess one night with Carly and you really did go back to when we were young." Freddie said.
"Nyeah." Sam exclaimed.
"Oh by the way, can I hitch a ride with you guys tomorrow?" Spencer asked.
"You're heading to L.A.? For?" Carly asked.
"Oh well my friend lives in L.A. and his daughter goes to a school called Hollywood Arts there." Spencer said.
"So how do you fit in to all this?" Ray asked.
"Oh you see they are going to have a play and he asked if I could come."
"But you hate plays, you said so yourself you could never sit through one of those." Freddie said, referring to a time he had to attend a play Carly was in.
"Okay so maybe he offered me a sculpture that I had to have, if I attended." Spencer said.
"Oh well in that case, sure you can hitch a ride. How are you coming back though?" Sam asked.
"Oh I would have to move the sculpture here so I would be hiring some movers. So I figured they could move me too." Spencer said.
"How big is this sculpture anyway?" Mrs Benson asked.
"Oh it's pretty big." Spencer said.
"Yeah we don't really need to know." Sam said.
"So anyway, we're leaving at 5 tomorrow and we'll come pick you up. Okay so I guess we'll see you tomorrow." Freddie said and Spencer nodded.
"Well Carls I guess this is goodbye." Sam said.
"For now." Carly said sternly.
"Yeah for now. Come visit if it's possible." Sam said.
"Definitely." Carly said, wrapping her arms around Sam and hugging her tight. Meanwhile Freddie said his goodbyes to his Mom.
"Bye mom, I'll visit whenever I can." Freddie said.
"Oh don't worry about me, I have company." Mrs Benson said, hugging her son.
"Next time though, please don't keep secrets from me, especially one as big as moving." Freddie said.
"Of course dear." Mrs Benson said.
"Okay well I think we better head off." Sam said. Everyone exchange their final goodbyes and hugs before they left the apartment. They headed back to the hotel for some good sleep. They had another long drive tomorrow.
It was 4.55 a.m. and they were heading to Spencer's house to pick him up. Sam was still pretty tired and kept falling asleep in the car. Every few seconds her head would bob down before waking and slowly fall back to sleep.
Freddie stopped in front of Spencer's house. He honked twice to announce his arrival. He saw Spencer head pop out from behind the curtain and not long after her was out the door, carrying a small bag with him.
He got into the car, but unlike a certain blonde, Spencer was full of energy. "Hey guys, how are you today?" Spencer exclaimed as he entered, waking Sam up in the process.
"Spencer? You gave me a fright." Sam said.
"Oh sorry Sam." Spencer said, before putting a finger to his lips and shushing himself. Freddie chuckled at the sight. He had a feeling the ride back was going to be way more wacky.
Freddie drove for the first 5 hours while Sam slept. Spencer who was a ball of energy fell asleep too, just like that. One minute he was bouncing on the seat the next he was asleep. Something which amused Freddie a lot.
Sam finally woke up around 10.
"Morning. Had a good sleep?" Freddie asked.
"Yeah." Sam said as she rubbed her eyes. Almost immediately, Sam stomach growled. "Hmm seems like I'm hungry." Sam said with a smile. Freddie chuckled.
"Looks like there a diner there." Freddie said as he made his way over to the roadside diner. He parked in the car in the lot and turned around to wake Spencer up. "Spencer get up. We're gonna have breakfast."
At the sound of the word breakfast, Spencer's eyes shot open. "Breakfast? Great I'm starving." Spencer exclaimed. The amount of energy in his voice indicated no sign that he was asleep just a second ago.
They all exited the car and made their way into the diner. They sat at a booth before one the waitress came over with the menu. Freddie did a double take when he saw her.
"Wait weren't you working in the diner somewhere nearer to California just a few days ago?" Freddie said. He was referring to the waitress that served them on the trip to Seattle.
"California? No I've been working here for the past two years. I think you have me confused with my sister. Yeah she works near California." The waitress said.
"Oh sorry. I thought you were the same person." Freddie said.
"No problem." She said as she walked away. The decided on their food and not long after they placed their orders.
"I need to use the ladies." Sam said as she got out of the booth and headed to the wash room.
"So Freddo, you and Sam work together now." Spencer said.
"Yeah, never expected it though. It just happened." Freddie said.
"So do you like her?" Spencer said.
"Yeah I mean, she's not like the old Sam. She's really hardworking." Freddie said.
"No I mean do you like as in like her like her." Spencer said.
"What. No I mean we're just friends. Not to mention colleagues. No of course not." Freddie said.
"Really Freddie? Really? Cause from the way I see it you like her a lot." Spencer said.
"I mean yeah she's smart and beautiful but...no I think you're mistaken." Freddie said.
"Mistaken what?" Sam asked as she took her seat.
"Oh just how Freddie likes OWW!" Spencer exclaimed. Freddie had stepped on his foot to prevent him from saying whatever he was going to say. Sam raised her eyebrow at both of them.
"How I like um...how I like um..." Freddie stammered, trying to figure out what to say. Just then a plate of pancakes arrived at the table. "How I like pancakes." Freddie said, taking a big mouthful of the pancake. "Hmm yep I like pancakes." Freddie mumbled with his mouthful.
"Aww that was my pancakes." Spencer said earning him a glare from Freddie.
'What is up with you two?" Sam said. She was getting kinda suspicious.
"Nothing is up with us." Freddie said.
"Yeah except that Freddie ate my pancakes and that he likes OWWWW!" Freddie stepped on Spencer's foot again, in the same sore spot.
"Yes how much I like pancakes. I think she get's it Spencer." Freddie glared at Spencer. Freddie leaned to Spencer and whispered in his ear. "Spencer, stop or I swear I will leave you in this diner." Freddie said.
"You wouldn't." Spencer said.
"Try me." Freddie said. Spencer gulped. Now he was sure that Freddie liked Sam since he was becoming so much like her.
"So other than Freddie's love for pancakes, can I please have another plate of pancakes. Mine got devoured." Spencer shouted over to the waitress. She nodded.
"Okay you two are acting very weird." Sam said.
"Weird? No we're not acting weird. At least I'm not. Spencer acts weird all the time so it's normal." Freddie said.
"Hey!" Spencer exclaimed.
"Okay you two are hiding something from me. I don't know what it is but I think I will find out." Sam said.
"We are not hiding anything." Freddie said, feigning ignorance.
"Yeah whatever you say Freddie. Whatever you say." Sam said.
They ate in awkward silence. Sam just stared at the two guys in from of her, her eyes burning holes in both of them. Neither of them told her anything though.
Finally they left the diner and Sam drove the next shift. Again she decided to speed, but this time she had an ulterior motive. She hoped that by driving fast, one of the boys would crack and tell her what they were hiding, but it didn't happen. They just looked really scared most of the time.
Finally they arrived in L.A. They dropped Spencer off at his friends house before heading back to theirs.
"So I guess you're not going to tell me what were you guys keeping from me?" Sam asked as she pulled into Freddie driveway.
"I told you we aren't keeping anything from you." Freddie said as he got out of the car. Sam too got out and made her way over to Freddie. Without warning she pushed Freddie against the car, one hand on his chest.
"You are going to tell me one day Benson. One day." She was so close he could feel her breath on his lips. "One day" Sam said, her lips grazing Freddie's. Right then, Freddie felt shivers down his spine. She released him, taking her stuff and walking to her house.
After a moment to get his thoughts together, Freddie grabbed his things and entered his own house. He closed the door behind him, drop his bag and slid down to the floor.
"Maybe Spencer was right. Maybe I like like Sam."
A/N: Dum dum dum! Lol. You guys like it? I hope it makes up for not updating last week. Haha for those of you who watch victorious, you would have noticed the inclusion of a little part in this chap. I did it since Jerry Trainor, who plays Spencer, appears in the audience in one of the eps so I couldn't resist.
So please review.
