Chapter 10: iCare About You

"What, well where's the rest of the page?" Sam exclaimed.

"I have no idea" Freddie replied sounding a little irritated with the fact that the other half of the page was missing.

"But I want to know who did it" Sam replied.

"I know you do and so do I" Freddie told her.

Sam then got up off of the bed and Freddie immediately felt her warmth disappear. She ran over to the bedside table grabbing Melanie's box. Sam then poured all of Melanie's belongings inside it on to the bed in front of Freddie before lying back down next to him.

"The page has got to be here somewhere" Sam said as she began digging through Melanie's things.

"What if the person who killed Melanie took it?" Freddie carefully asked Sam.

"Where would they of put it?" Sam asked him.

"I don't know, it could be anywhere" Freddie replied. "They may have even destroyed it because that letter would be evidence" He told her.

"Were never going to find out who did it" Sam whined, desperately wanting to know who killed her twin sister.

"Hey don't say that, me and you are going to figure this out together" Freddie comforted Sam by placing one hand on her shoulder and gently began to rub it.

As Sam looked down at Freddie's hand on her shoulder, she looked back up where his eyes met hers. She got lost in them again.

"Freddie" Sam managed to say, but she was unsure what she should say next.

That was when Freddie's phone began to ring and when he took his hand off Sam's shoulder to answer it, something felt empty inside her.

"Hello" Freddie said to the person on the phone.

"Okay, yes ill pass on the message, thank you" He then said at the end of the phone call. Freddie didn't really say much else during the conversation because he was too busy listening to the person on the phone. What he said about passing the message on though sure caught Sam's attention.

"Who was that?" Sam immediately asked him as soon as he hung up the phone.

"That was the hospital one of Melanie's friends is still in critical condition but the other is now awake and well enough for us to visit if we like" Freddie told her.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Sam asked him. "Come on we've got to get going, she might be able to tell us something" Sam said as she jumped up off of the bed and immediately ran out of the Motel room, leaving Freddie to follow her…

….

The car ride to the hospital was silent, not an awkward one though. When they arrived Sam pretty much jumped straight out of the car, entering the hospital as she was so desperate for some answers. This left Freddie driving round, looking for a parking spot.

As Sam walked up to the door of a hospital patient's room that a nurse at the front desk directed her to, she knocked on the door gaining attention from the young girl that was inside.

"Are you Abigail Apple-berry?" Sam asked.

"Melanie?" The young girl questioned, looking rather confused. "They told me you were dead" She added.

"Melanie is dead" Sam told her gently. "I'm Melanie's twin, Sam Puckett" She explained.

"Oh sorry, Melanie never told me she had a twin" Abigail told Sam.

"Yeh, I never really told many of my friends that I had a twin either" Sam replied and that was when Freddie walked in.

"This is Freddie" Sam said introducing him to Abigail. Abigail just smiled.

"Can I ask you two what you're doing here" She then asked them.

"Well it turns out that the fire was started on purpose by someone that wanted to kill Melanie because she refused to do something that they wanted. Do you know anything about that?" Sam asked.

"No I'm sorry I don't but around the time before the fire happened Melanie had been acting very out of character. When the girls and I asked her what was wrong she just said it was exams. We knew she was lying though because Melanie never got nervous about exams" Abigail explained.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you anything else, maybe when I'm feeling better I might remember more" She told them.

"Okay, will let you get some rest. We hope you get better soon" Freddie said.

"I'm sorry about your Sister" Abigail told Sam.

"And I'm sorry about your friend" Sam replied as she walked out of the door with Freddie closely behind her. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that Abigail didn't know anything. She could only hope that she would remember something when she was feeling better…

….

As Freddie layed down on the bed back in the motel room, ready to go to sleep, he felt Sam curl up in to his arms. He could tell she tried to do it sneakily and Freddie just smiled as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.

It didn't take Sam long to fall asleep, she was still catching up on months of sleep that she had missed out on. Freddie couldn't sleep tonight though, the fact that they still didn't know who Melanie's killer was, was bothering him. He slowly slipped out of Sam's arms without waking her. Grabbing Melanie's diary, Freddie then layed on his front at the bottom of the bed. He began to read the next part of her diary, hoping he would find some answers.

Less than an hour later Sam woke up. She was right, she couldn't sleep when Freddie wasn't there holding her in his arms.

"Why aren't you holding me?" Sam asked him as she sat up.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Freddie asked her.

"I can't sleep when you're not holding me" Sam told him honestly as she layed on her front next to Freddie. As sad as it was that Sam now found it so hard to sleep, Freddie couldn't help but smile slightly at this.

"Why are you reading that now?" She then asked.

"I want to find Melanie's killer just as much as you do" Freddie told her.

"Why do you want to help me so much?" Sam then asked him.

"I told you I care about you" He told her again.

"But why do you care about me so much?" Sam asked.

"What's with all the questions?" Freddie asked.

"I just want to know that's all" Sam told him. "Freddie" She then nervously said.

"Yeh" Freddie replied turning to look at her.

That was when she kissed him. It was only a small, quick peck on the lips. Freddie could tell she had to build up a lot of courage to do that though. It meant a lot to her though and something to him.

When she pulled away Sam was more nervous than she was about kissing him in the first place. When Freddie didn't say anything straight away, she freaked out.

"Omg I'm so sorry, just forget I ever did that" She yelled as she jumped up off of the bed and started pacing up and down of their motel room. "I thought you liked me, my mistake. It's not your fault; I just got the wrong impression that's all. I'm so stupid; you would never like a girl like me." She rambled on. "Like I said just forget I ever did that, I'll spend the night in the bathroom, I'm sure the bathtub is very comfortable" She rambled on even more as she turned to walk towards the bathroom.

She must not have heard Freddie calling her name as she rambled on and on while pacing up and down the room. He got up off of the bed and just as Sam was about to step in to the bathroom he caught her arm and pulled her towards him. He kissed her gently on the lips and when he pulled away she looked a little shocked.

"I don't want to forget what you just did" Freddie then told her honestly. "Oh and by the way you're very cute when you panic about something" He added with a cheeky grin.

"Freddie you are such a nub" Sam said as she hit him playfully. That was then the first time Freddie saw Sam Puckett smile in a very long time…
