Chapter 11

The same after school the three finally met up for rehearsals for the newest I Carly episode, because together the three had come up with some pretty good ideas in a long brainstorming session and all of them had really missed it to work together as a team again. Doing some sketches with Sam for I Carly surely did get Carly's mind off the recent love trouble and she promised to herself, that she would never ever abandon the web show and her two best friends again.

They all had a lot of fun during rehearsals and as Freddie watched the girls do their thing he thought:*She looks very happy right now but deep down she's probably still sad about her bad luck with love in the past and I wish that I could something to make her feel better.* Of course he couldn't get too close to her, because she would definitely take that the wrong way and Freddie surely didn't want to complicate things between again because of simple misunderstanding.

They rehearsed two more segments for the webcast tomorrow and then the trio went down to the kitchen of the Shay's apartment, Sam of course getting herself some ham like always and Freddie and Carly drank some Orange Juice out of the fridge. As Spencer came back from groceries shopping with the big smile on his face he asked: "Hey how are you doing today?"

"We are doing great Spence, thanks for asking." Carly and Sam replied in unison, even if the blonde I Carly sidekick had still the mouth full of ham. Carly, Freddie and Spencer just laughed in unison at that for a moment and Spencer thought to himself: *It's so nice to see her being totally happy right now and she surely will get together with her Mister Right very soon because I just know that deep down. *

As the three sat later together on couch in the living room, watching some TV together Freddie's phone rang and he surely had a little smile on his face as he saw the caller ID from his girlfriend. After he had finally ended the call with Jen he said: "Sorry guys but I'm meeting with Jennifer with right now, so bye and see you tomorrow at School or maybe later today."

"Ok bye Freddie and have fun." Carly said forcing a slight smile on her face but deep down she was so sad that he was leaving to be with his girlfriend now. Of course Sam did notice that sudden sad look on her best friends face, because she had known Carly for a very long time, so that she knew very well when the brunette was trying to hide something from her.

Right in the middle of watching Girly Cow Sam then asked the brunette all over sudden: "Something is really bothering you Carls and I want to know what that is because I hate to see you sad and you know that you can tell me everything." Carly of course thought hard about what to say right now: Either just continue to pretend that everything was alright or say the truth about her real feelings for Freddie. Finally she sighed shortly and said: "You're right Sam, you just know me too well but I will only say it under one condition, Freddie can't know about this so do we have a deal?"

"Yes we have so spill it Carls." Sam replied and anxiously waited for the brunette to reveal what had been on her mind the entire time.

Carly took one last breath before she finally said: "I'm in love with Freddie even if I know that he will never feel the same way again about me and that he's happy together with Jennifer." The blonde couldn't say she was surprised, because deep down she knew that her brunette friend has got some feelings beyond friendship for the geek but sadly those two wouldn't get together because Carly had screwed it up.

Neither of them knew what to say after that, so in total silence the two continued to watch Girly Cow but of course Sam's mind kept spinning the whole time searching for a solution to this complicated situation. Meanwhile Freddie wasn't paying full attention to his girlfriend talking, all he could think about was that sad look on Carly's face that he saw when he had left the Shay's apartment and right now he really didn't know what to make of all this.

It really did that go far that he wasn't sure of his feelings towards the brunette anymore: Did he just wanted to be friends Carly or something more like her boyfriend? But the dilemma he surely was facing: He also didn't want to hurt Jennifer's feelings because after all she was the one that had supported him and had treated him with more respect than his supposed to be best friend.

Later that day in the evening, Carly and Sam had finally parted ways and the brunette was now sitting on the couch in the living watching some TV. But she clearly wasn't paying her full attention to it, because one question kept still spinning around in her mind: Should she continue to date some other guys at Ridgeway to forget about her crush on Freddie once and for all? The rest of the evening went by very fast, Freddie also laying at wake a part of the night as he just couldn't forget that sad look on Carly's face and just kept asking himself: Was Carly jealous of Jen?
