Here it is!

This is the OFFICIAL ENDING to Torn Between Girls!

This ending won the poll with 40% of the votes and is my own personal favorite (so it probably would have been the real ending even if it lost the poll…tee hee).

I hope you enjoy it!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own iCarly or its characters. I do own Liz Davidson.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. That's what the day turned into for Freddie. It was a giant waiting game, sitting at his window, waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally, at exactly 3:48 PM—he knew for a fact, because he looked at the clock at the exact moment, and he would always remember exactly what time—he saw the big yellow school bus trundle up in front of Bushwell Plaza.

He didn't even wait to see her get off the bus. He vaulted away from the window, running down the hall to the front door, stopping only to check his hair in the mirror above the end table. At the front door he encountered a small obstacle—his mother arriving home.

"Freddie!" she cried out, pulling him in for a tight hug. "Oh, I missed you so much! I brought us back a new jigsaw puzzle, and I know you're going to just love it!"

Freddie expertly maneuvered himself out of his mother's hug. "Sounds great, Mom," he told her as he swiftly moved around her and towards the door. "But I gotta go do something right now." Freddie opened the door and started to leave, before he remembered something. "Oh, yeah, could you possibly write a note saying that I was sick today? Thanks!"

"What—Freddie!" his mom sputtered as he sprinted out the door, shutting it behind him. He sped down the stairs and burst onto the seventh floor, running right into the person he was looking for.

"Oh my God!" Liz screamed, scared. "Freddie! Oh my Lord, you just gave me a freaking heart attack!" Liz placed a hand over her heart. Freddie grinned.

"I'm sorry," he apologized. "I really am. About scaring you. But also for everything else. Liz, I've decided. The only girl I really want is you."

Liz was interested to hear that, and smiled. "Well, Freddie," she said, not looking entirely sure yet. "How can I be positive that you're really decided?"

"Try this," Freddie suggested, and pulled Liz in for a romantic kiss.

Kissing Liz made Freddie wonder how he could have ever thought that she wasn't the one for him. She was amazing, incredible, and beautiful. She seemed like his other half. Freddie wasn't sure if he believed in soulmates, but if they did exist…he had no doubt in his mind that Liz was his. And he didn't think of Carly or Sam once when he was kissing her this time.

He wasn't sure how long they kissed, but when they separated, he knew that there was something else that he had to do. "Liz," he whispered to her. "I have to…"

"I know," she whispered back. "Try not to break their hearts too badly." She gave him a smile and nudged him towards the staircase. He kissed her on the cheek and then sprinted back upstairs.

On the eighth floor, he loitered in front of Carly's door. He finally knocked and, after a few seconds, Spencer answered.

"Oh," Spencer said slightly stiffly. "Freddie. He who has broken my baby sister's fragile heart. What a pleasure."

Freddie raised his eyebrows at Spencer. "You're…mad at me?"

Spencer relaxed. "No, not really, because I still wanna be buds. I just felt like the moment needed some tension. That's my job, after all, as big brother."

"Yeah, well, I wouldn't have blamed you if you were mad at me," Freddie admitted. "I need to talk to Carly."

Spencer pointed to the ceiling. "iCarly studio with Sam."

"Of course she's with Sam," Freddie groaned. "Thanks…" With that, Freddie made his way up the stairs. He took one big deep breath outside of the iCarly studio and then opened the door.

Sam and Carly, playing Violin Hero, both turned around to look at him. Carly immediately paused the game. "Hey Freddie," she said with a smile. "Can we talk?" Then, without waiting for an answer , "'Kay, great!" Carly set down her violin and pulled Freddie back into the hallway. She shut the door, took a deep breath, and folded her arms across her chest.

Freddie was nervous. "Are you gonna beat me up?" he asked hesitantly. Carly laughed.

"No!" she exclaimed, amused. She stopped laughing and grew more serious. "Okay…here's the thing. I just want you to know…I know you picked Liz."

"You do? …How? I didn't know until this morning."

Carly shook her head, still smiling. "I know you Freddie. And I want you to know that I'm okay."

"You are?"

"Yeah," Carly assured him. "I talked with Spencer and—while this may shock you—I think what he said made sense…I want things to be right again, and for us to be best friends."

Freddie broke out into a grin. "That's great Carly, thank you." He hugged her tightly. "You don't know how much this means to me."

Since he was hugging her, he couldn't see how sad her expression really was.

They hugged for a few more seconds before Carly pulled away. "I also know that you need to talk to Sam," she informed him. "She told me. Everything."

Freddie squeezed his eyes shut and then opened them again. "That's great. Awesome."

Carly gave him a weak smile. "You need to talk to her," she reminded him again. While she walked back inside the studio, Freddie just kind of leaned in the door.

"Hey Sam?" he called, realizing how stupid this looked. Sam looked at him and turned away. "Sam," he insisted, and she finally came out to the hall.

"What's up, Freddio?" Sam asked casually. "Is it my turn for the heartbreak?"

Freddie cleared his throat. "It's not really easy for me when you put it like that."

"I don't want to make it easy for you, though," Sam told him, putting her hands on her hips. "This shouldn't be easy for you."

Freddie nodded. "You're right. You're right…look, Sam…"

"Okay, you know what? Save it, Benson." Sam shook her head, her lips pursed. "I was completely honest with you. I told you how I felt. I kissed you, for God's sake. And now I just don't want to hear how you've decided that Liz is the one for you, because you know what? I'm not convinced that she is."

Sighing, Freddie nodded again. "Sam, I know how you feel. You're mad, you're hurt. And it's killing me to know that I'm the cause of it, but I can't just turn my back on something that feels like it's right."

Sam just stared at him angrily for a few seconds. "God, stop it!" she finally exclaimed.

"Stop what?" Freddie asked, surprised and confused.

"Stop…being…you!" she explained. "You, being so smart and so thoughtful—it's making it hard to hate you!"

"Don't hate me," Freddie asked sadly. "That's all that I want. I want to be friends, Sam, can't we do that?"

Sam—rough and tough Sam—looked like she might have been close to tears for a moment, but then it passed. "I don't know, Benson," she muttered. "Maybe…you know what would help?"

"What?" Freddie anxiously asked. "I'd love to do anything to help."

"Forget you ever kissed me," Sam suggested with a smirk on her face. "'Cause I will deny it if you ever bring it up."

Freddie smiled, sad and amused. "Deal."

With a nod, Sam went to walk back into the studio. "We have iCarly rehearsal tomorrow, don't forget," she reminded him. Just before walking into the studio, she turned around and looked at him. "Oh yeah…and don't think you get a second chance. Mama's a prize that you already had a chance at." On that pleasant note, Sam flung open the studio door and walked back in to continue her video game with Carly.

Freddie wasn't sure if he was happy or not. Carly had forgiven him; Sam said they could still be friends. That was good right? Freddie shook off his unsure feelings and left the Shay's apartment, being sure to high five Spencer on the way out.

Freddie automatically knew where to look for Liz. He took the stairs up and found her, standing in the middle of the roof, waiting for him.

"Are you still afraid?" Freddie questioned, walking over. Liz looked around quickly and nodded.

"Very much so," she answered. "It'll probably take awhile to be completely cured."

"Well," Freddie said with a smile. "I know something that I'll never be cured of."

"What's that?"

Freddie wrapped his arms around her waist. "You," he whispered.

They kissed.
