Chapter 10: Exposed
[FREDDIE'S POV]
"YOU'RE MARRIED?"
My eyes widen in shock. Wait a minute, that didn't come out of my mouth. I scanned the room for the source of that sound when my eyes landed on Gibby's wide opened mouth.
"Gibby!" Carly hissed as she hit him on the shoulder.
Sam just gave him a confused look but was soon laughing uncontrollably. I was beyond confused as to why she was laughing.
"What's so funny?"
Her laughter soon died down and she was now wiping the tears from her eyes. "Me? Married? What made you think of that, Gib?"
"You have a kid, a husband and your last name changed. Doesn't that sound like you're married?" He explained.
She shook her head. "No, I'm not married."
Sam looked at Derek who was playing with Chloe and chuckled. "Chloe's my niece."
"What about Derek? Isn't he your husband?"
She laughed. "He's my brother-in-law. He's the husband of Melanie, not me."
"Who?" I asked, confused.
She then looked at me with a smile on her face. "Melanie. She's my identical twin sister who doesn't look a lot like me anymore. When we were younger, people would mistakenly think I was her and she was me so she decided to dye her hair brown and shortened it while I straightened my hair and added highlights."
"Wait, so you're Chloe's aunt?"
"Yeah, I am."
"But why does she look exactly like you? And even acts like you?"
"She grew up in my care. Let's just say she became a spunky little kid who is not like her mother at all. I think I've influenced her a lot." She laughed.
I blinked at the explanation. So, Sam's not married? Not at all? My heart was beating so fast I thought it might explode. I sighed as relief came all over my body.
"Wait, what about the change of last name? Huh? What about that?" Gibby insisted.
Sam gave a long sigh. "My mom remarried. She is now the second wife of Rodger Mason, the CEO of Mason Studios where Velocity and I work for."
"Sammy, we're gonna go now. Mel just got off from the hospital." Derek said as he slowly stood up from a crouched position.
Sam smiled and nodded. "Okay, have a safe drive home. Tell Mel to call me later, 'kay?"
Derek nodded and gave her a sweet smile. "I'll pass on the message."
Chloe then ran to Sam and jumped in her open arms. "Goodnight Auntie Sam."
Sam chuckled. "G'night fatcake! See you on Monday, okay?"
Chloe nodded her head furiously. "Yes, you will! Oh and please do something about my pick."
"I'll see what I can do. " Sam winked at her and kissed her on the head.
She then jumped out of her grip and went to Wendy to say her goodnight. She then ran to Carly and grinned up at her. Carly crouched down to meet her level.
"So, we'll see you on Monday then?" Carly asked.
Chloe shrugged. "I dunno. Auntie Sammy drops me at my guitar lessons so, maybe."
Carly then gave her a hug. "Goodnight Chloella."
Chloe glared at her. "I told you to stop calling me that name. You know I hate people calling me by my full name."
We laughed at her expression as she shivered in disgust. Sam really did influenced her a lot.
"It's not our fault your Mom wanted you to have a full name. I suggested your mom to name you Chloe to be short and cute but she added the ella and went on and on about you being a sweet girl and all that chiz." Sam laughed.
"And I despise her for that." She pouted.
"Come on, my little devil. Let's go home." Derek said as he lifted Chloe up. "I'll see you guys maybe tomorrow or on Monday. Goodnight!"
"Night Der!" Sam exclaimed.
"Bye Derek!" Both Carly and Wendy exclaimed as the father and daughter stepped out of the door.
Wendy then whispered something to Sam and they let out a laugh. The three of us looked at the two in confusion as they shook their heads and headed towards the kitchen.
"So guys, what are you going to do tonight?" Carly asked.
"Yeah, why are there folding beds on the floor?" I asked.
"The guys are coming over for a sleepover, as suggested by Max who Wendy took it seriously. " Sam said as a smirked appeared on her face.
"Wait, who's Max?" Gibby asked questionably.
"The drummer in Shane's band Velocity. Don't you remember?" Wendy explained.
"I remember but wasn't their band called Fiasco or something?"
"They changed the name when we entered college." Sam said as she was texting on her Y-phone 10.5, the latest phone of the century.
Wendy was busy watching the popcorn pop that she didn't even hear the knock on the door.
Sam's head shoot up as she bolted for the door. Carly was shocked at her movement while Gibby just poked a green fruit that appeared to be an avocado.
"I told you not hit too hard." Someone said as footsteps can be heard.
"Sanders got hit?" Sam exclaimed.
"Only a slight bruise on the arm but it was all good. Even Jarvis here got the last punch and kick." Another one said.
"Really? Where did he hit 'em-"
"You don't wanna know, Mase." A guy said as I heard laughter.
"Ooh, nice Jarvis! That's my man!" Sam said but I couldn't help but wince at the mention of the words my man.
"So, what's cook-" Someone stopped talking and I looked behind me to see four guys with brown grocery bags on their hands. The first two guys that looked familiar to me were Shane and Max but the other two, I wasn't so sure. They look like Drew and Austin but I could be wrong.
"Oh, I didn't know you had visitors." Shane said as he was holding two bags full of junk.
"Yeah, if we'd known, we could have– Carly?"
Carly turned around to the sound of her name being called and a huge grin was plastered on her face. "GUYS!"
"SHAY!" They all exclaimed as they walked towards us.
"What brings you here on our planet?" Max asked.
"Visiting, of course!" She smiled.
"Oh, I thought you forgot about us." A guy with blonde hair smirked.
"Psh that would never happen Austin."
Wait, Austin has blonde hair now? Didn't he have brown hair? So if Austin's the blonde one, then the other one with black hair must be Drew.
"So, you came alone?" Max said as he balanced the two bags in his hands.
"No, I came with other people as well."
"Guys," Sam started. "This is Gibby. Remember him? The guy Carly is totally head over heels in love with."
Carly blushed as they all laughed. Sam then pointed at me and I froze a little bit.
"And this is Freddie Benson, Gibby's best friend." She continued.
The four of them glanced at me with wide eyes and they looked at Sam again. I shifted my foot as I felt Max and Drew's glares burning me with passion. They're very protective over Sam, really protective.
"Freddie Benson?" Shane asked Sam as she nodded and smiled.
Austin walked to the kitchen top and whispered something to Wendy who only shrugged and looked back at us again.
"Yes, that's his name. I only met him awhile ago so that's all I know about him." She chuckled as she got Max's bags and made her way over towards the countertop. Just then, Sam's phone rang.
"Ooh, its Mel. Gonna take this. Just order dinner Wends!" And with that, she headed up the stairs.
The guys then all glared at me as I stepped back a little.
"What are you doing here?" Austin growled at me.
"Jacobs, just chill." Wendy said as she grabbed his arm from jumping on me.
"That's not the important question. Why didn't Sam remember you?" Shane asked in confusion.
I shrugged as I looked at Carly and Gibby. "I dunno."
"We didn't even know that was her reaction when we came here. I thought there would be another world war or something." Carly explained.
"I just don't understand." Austin said as he shook his head.
"You got that right." Shane said as he was pacing back and forth.
While the guys were trying to figure out the problem, Drew and Max were very silent as they were eyeing each other. Drew sighed as he motioned Max to say something and reluctantly stepped forward.
"I-I think both Drew and I know why Sam didn't remember Freddie." Max said as we all looked at both of them.
