Hey I loved the reviews, and here is a message for everyone who told me they were worried about finding out how the story ends. I solemnly swear I will finish this story, and if I don't I will give up chocolate forever. I LOVE CHOCOLATE! So yeah here is the next chap.
Also, check out my friend's story. It's called Just the Girl by WriteAllNightAndDay. It is a Seddie future fic, and it's really good. Plus it is dedicated to me, which makes me insanely happy.
Freddie
Why did Sam make me so crazy? I hadn't seen her in ten years, and she can still make me crazy. We were just sitting here in the tent. All you could hear was the rain hitting the tent, and the sound of Sam texting. Why me?
"Who are you texting?"I asked. The silence was killing me. She might ignore me, but at least I had tried.
"My kids."Sam said. Sam had changed from high school. She was professional, motherly, and kind. It really freaked me out. Not all the time of course, this was still Sam.
"Look, Sam we really need to get over the awkwardness. Apparently we are just destined to spend a lot of time together on this trip, and I don't want to spend the entire time ignoring each other."I just wanted to get this trip over with. Camping wasn't my thing.
"Alright."
"Alright?"
"Yep, I am tired of fighting with you Freddie."Wow, since when did Sam give up in a fight?
"How do we fix the awkward?" I asked. I really had no plan; I just didn't want to fight with her anymore.
"We talk about it."Sam said.
"Sam that is actually a helpful suggestion."I said surprised.
She glared at me. "I live with three kids. I have gotten very good at settling fights."
"Alright, Ms. Peacemaker where do we start."I was pushing it with the nick name, but it's not like Sam would beat me up anymore.
"We start by figuring out what we were fighting about." Sounds simple enough. "Oh, and stop trying anger me with names, because you know I can still pound you."Sam punches me in the stomach just hard enough to knock the wind out of me. Never cross Sam Puckett.
"We were fighting about our relationship, and our breakup."I said. How was this supposed help?
"We must still be angry with each other over what happened."Sam said thinking deeply.
"I am not angry with you!"
"You sure about that?"
"Yes?"
"How about we take turns telling each other everything that has made us angry at each other in the past."
"Are you sure, Sam?"
"Yes, you start." Sam said. This didn't seem like it was going to help us, but I did trust her.
"I'm mad that you never completely trusted me." I said.
"I'm mad that you never saw how much I needed you."What? She needed me?
"I'm upset that you left me!" I said. Sam left before college.
"You never came after me!" She shouted.
"Was I supposed to be a mind reader or something? You told me to never speak to you again!"
"If you had loved me at all, you would have ignored that Freddie!" Sam screamed.
"I didn't know! I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, and you wanted to travel the country." I shouted. Where did that come from? That made me sound like an insensitive jerk.
"You should have let me go for my dreams, and find myself!" Sam shouted. She had me there, but it wasn't my entire fault.
"We didn't have to break up! You were the one who didn't want a long distance relationship!" I shouted back.
"You wouldn't have wanted a long distance relationship during college, and it wasn't like we were going to break up forever."
"You didn't tell me that."I said quietly.
"Freddie, you didn't honestly think I wanted to break up forever? You did!" She said shocked.
"You told me you never wanted to see me again, and then you left." I said sadly.
"Oh, Freddie I didn't leave for long. I came back to Seattle apologize, but you were already gone." Sam said quietly.
"Let me get this straight, we had a fight over you traveling the country. I told you to stay and start a family with me. You got mad at me for trying to keep you from your dreams, and told me to never see you again. You left to travel the country, and I believed that you hated me. So I left to start a new life in New York City, and you came back to find me." I said.
Sam nodded. "How messed up is that?"
"All these years I thought you left me."I said. I was mostly talking to myself. I could have had the girl of my dreams all this time.
"In reality you left me."Sam said. I nodded gravely. This was all my fault.
"What do we do now?" I asked confused. I used to be the logical one, but now Sam was the one with all the smart suggestions. I guess she had more life experience dealing with problems than me.
"We will just have to put it all behind us, and be friends again." Sam said. That is probably the most logical thing to do. I am not sure I f I want to be logical anymore. If only we could just forget everything that happened, and start up back where we left off. She had three kids, and I had a girlfriend. Fate just hadn't been in our favor.
"Your right it is time to put it all behind us. Do you forgive me for trying to keep you from your dreams, and being stupid enough to leave you?" I said.
"Yes I forgive you. Do you forgive me for over reacting, and telling you to never talk to me again?" Sam said.
"Of course I forgive you. Our relationship was pretty weird. Don't you think?" I said.
"A really good weird! I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!" Sam said smiling at me. Oh, I missed that smile. It was like she saved a special smile all for me. I had missed this girl so much. Deep down I wanted her to be all mine forever, but I guess we were just destined to be friends.
"Glad we've got everything figured out."I said. I never wanted to be mad at Sam again.
"You know Luke was telling me yesterday how terrible the hotel you guys are staying in is." Sam said.
"Yeah, but at least the TV network is paying for our room." The hotel was terrible, and it was almost as bad as the hotel we stayed in to visit Dingo Studios.
"You guys could stay in my loft. There is a lot of room, and it would be free. You would have to deal with the chaos; it can get pretty crazy." Sam didn't know that I loved chaos; my dream had always been to have crazy kids running around.
"Sounds good, and I think Luke is going to like that idea." Luke liked spending time with Avery.
"Cool, so after this camping trip is finally over you can move you stuff over." I wonder what Sam's apartment is like.
I was really happy with that. Review and tell me what you think. Also remember to check out Just the Girl (It's in my favorites list)
