It had finally happened!
It was something Sam had slaved over since she moved back and she was finally moving up.

After Sam had gotten to work late, spilled coffee all over her boss, and fell on a pile of papers that she had to rearrange afterwards, she thought that her day was done.
She felt like she was going to get fired any minute.
Boy was she wrong!
SHE GOT PROMOTED!
The major boss of the radio show saw her potential and also recognized her from iCarly.
Instantly he realized that his show ratings would sky rocket if he had someone from a world renowned web show.

Yes, Sam Puckett has been promoted to Radio Show Host on Live In Seattle.
The hours were longer, the pay was better, and she got holidays off.

She didn't know why…but the first person she wanted to tell was Freddie.
He knew her dreams and he knew how far she would go to get them…but they weren't on speaking terms.
He didn't know her anymore…that still stung.

She didn't want to tell Carly just yet.
She didn't want to tell Gibby just yet either…
Then it hit her…she could tell Todd.

"You got promoted?" Todd shouted as he stood from her couch.

"Yes I did! You are looking at the new Radio Show Host of Live In Seattle!" She shouted but was shocked to find that her feet were no longer on the ground.
Todd had picked her up and started spinning her around at the excitement.

"We have to celebrate!" Todd said as he placed her back on the ground.
Sam thought that celebrating sounded good.
It was at this point that she decided to tell Carly and Gibby.

"I haven't told anyone else yet…how can we celebrate?" Sam questioned.

"Our parents, Tasha and I, have a mountain house in Breckenridge, Colorado. We can invite everyone to come up there and stay the week. It's got major skiing ramps, hot chocolate, snow, and the best time of your life written all over the place." Todd suggested.
Sam had an instant smile on her face.

It would be great to get away for a week with Carly, Gibby, Carly's Boyfriend, Tasha, and Todd.
It would be wonderful to get away from all the stress she's been having.
Not just work…but Freddie.
She needed a break, a time to relax, a time to escape reality.

-XOX-

"We're NOT inviting them!" Sam shouted after Carly had suggested it.
Carly stood from her chair with a sympathetic look on her face.

"I know that fight between you guys was recent and hurtful, but you've both got to put it behind you. We're all adults here and you have to get used to him being with Valerie just like he has to get used to you being with Todd." Carly said and Sam hated that she made sense.

"No, this is the time celebrate a long hard couple of months. I don't know that I can stand being on vacation with them…" Sam said.

-XOX-

"Valerie can't go…" Freddie said to Carly in his apartment.

"This is a good thing!" Carly said.

"No, it's not. The plan has to fall through and if she's not there I don't know what's going to happen." Freddie said as he ran his hand through his hair.
He looked rough; he looked like he hadn't slept in a few days.

"Are you feeling okay?" Carly questioned as she got up from his table.

"Yes, I'm just exhausted…" Freddie said, trying to brush off these feelings.

"You've been up thinking about her haven't you?" Carly questioned.

"Her being with Todd is really bothersome! He's so…" Freddie was cut off by Carly.

"Not like you?" Carly finished.
Freddie turned away from her and walked to his living room.

"You know what, you're going on the trip…We leave tomorrow around 8 if we want to get a head start on traffic. It's just for a few days because Gibby has to get back to work. Try to behave…" Freddie contemplated what was said and heard Carly close the door on her way out.
What was going on?
Everything was screwing up!

He had to have this plan work…even if that meant taking things into a different level.

-XOX-

The quiet was eerie on the way to the house.
Sam was slapped in the middle of Todd and Freddie which made it all the more uncomfortable.
Gibby was driving the Tahoe and holding hands with Tasha who was in the passenger seat while Carly was snuggled up next to Jake in the seat in front of everyone.

What was really killing Sam was the mix of Freddie's and Todd's colognes.
Sam found her nose more partial to Freddie's but there was something about Todd's cologne that made her feel weak.
Freddie's was making her feel different emotions and she couldn't pick which one she preferred.

She slumped back in the seat and hit Freddie's arm on the way back.

"Sorry…" She whispered before turning her attention to Todd.
Freddie watched with pure hate in his eyes.
He had never heard her say sorry to him…ever.
He was hating how she was talking to him, laughing at everything he said, it drove him insane and it took everything he had not to snap like he had at the dinner table.

After they pulled in a long gravel driveway, they were immediately taken through snow covered woods.
It was beautiful see and all Freddie could think about was the snow that would land in Sam's hair, on her eyelashes, and on her clothes.
She would look so beautiful…but he was getting carried away with his emotions.

"We're here!" Gibby said, jumping out of the car to help the passengers in the back out of their seats.
This was no house, this was a mansion.
From what Freddie was told, this place had 5 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, sauna/indoor pool, and its own ski lodge out back.

"Okay, Room assignments guys!" He said as they unpacked all the bags.

"Todd, you'll stay next to mine and Tasha's room which are the first two rooms. Carly and Jake, you'll be staying in the middle room closest to the living room. Freddie your room is the last room in the back next to Sam's room. Alright, let's head out!" Both Freddie and Sam stopped in their tracks as if to question where their rooms were.
Surely they didn't put their rooms together…that would be a mistake.

***A/N

You remember how I said College was stressful?
Yeah, well, I wasn't telling any lies.
I've been SWAMPED in work but I've actually finished my homework for the rest of the week.
Which can only mean that there will be a iMoved Back chapter palooza going on!

I did have some questions that people asked me but if it's okay, I'm going to answer them in the next one.
I have a class at 8am and I wanted to get this out.

I hope none of you hate me or have forgotten my story!
That would be my worst nightmare.
I would have posted a few days ago but FanFiction was acting up on my account so I don't know what's going on there haha.

Anyway, thank you all that are reading and reviewing!
It's truly making my life!

Love,
