Hey Ya'll, much as I try to update reguarly life tends to not care. So here's the next chapter,

hope you all like it. As usual nothing belongs to me.

Chapter 10: Fixing

Carly's house

"GIBBY! I told Freddie we'd be there soon! Soon doesn not mean five hours from now you know!"

Gibby came walking down the stairs rolling his eyes "Calm down would you, you know he won't mind."

Carly sighed and nodded "Yeah, I know. Sorry for yelling."

Gibby smiled and then laughed "Besides, he'll probably think it was you that took so long"

Carly glared at him and he ran out of the house laughing while she closed and locked the door behind her.

They got into the car and Carly reached over and smacked him upside the head "That's for your comment."

He rubbed his head and she smiled innocently as they pulled out of the driveway.

The rehab center

Carly stood outside looking at the double doors, while Gibby stood beside her holding her hand "You can do this Carly. You have to face it all at some point."

Carly nodded silently and dragged Gibby into the building with her.

After mumbling who they were there to see she was directed to a room that looked like the cafeteria where she saw him sitting near the back with his laptop in front of him.

"Sam was right." Carly whispered "He really does look like the old Freddie...almost"

She walked up to him slowly with Gibby right behind her "H-hey Freddie."

Freddie jumped slightly and looked up "Hey Carly, Gibby" he added, looking behind her to see him "Wanna sit down?'

She sat down in front of him and Gibby sat beside her, after seeing that neither of them was going to talk first Gibby decided to say something "How've you been Freddie?"

Freddie shrugged slightly "Been better..been worse. Kinda in the middle I'd say, things aren't as hard as they were before, but they aren't exactly easy either."

Carly looked at him "Nice to see you with a laptop in front of you again."

Freddie smiled and nodded "Yeah, slowly getting back to my 'geeky self' as I suppose Sam would call it."

Carly hesitated for a minute "I'm sorry! I'm a really terrible friend for making you do this on your own, I don't know why I did it. I wish I could take it back, I mean Sam wasn't around and I saw what was happening to you but I wanted to stay in my happy little bubble and pretend it wasn't really happening. It was just not right seeing you like that, you were always the best one out of us and I hate that I didn't help you."

Freddie blinked a few times "Carly.."

"I don't expect you to just forgive me, but I want to help. I want to be there now, to try and make up for not being there before. I want to be as good as friend to you as you always were to us. Can you let me do that?
Freddie was quiet "Carly, I..."

Muahahahaha. Evil me, now you gotta wait till next chapter to see what he says. Hope you review (even if you're yellin at me lol) Love you all of course.
