Freddie's POV

Oh no. She is not gonna talk to me ever again! This isn't good. I like Sam. Heck, I love her... as a friend... I think. Before today I never thought of her in this way, but there's just something about today. She just makes me... happy. I need to fix this. Carly...

"Hey Carly, my head is hurting. Could you go get my mom? I think she knows what to do." I said. Please work, please please please.

"Uhh, sure. Is she home?"

"Yeah. I think." She's not. "Knock once, wait a little and then knock again. If she doesn't answer the first time it's because she thinks you are a ding dong ditcher" Stay over there for a longggg time, please.

"Alright, I'll be right back." She kissed my forehead. Sam curled up in a ball on the other side of me as Carly left.

In a split second, a million different things ran through my head. What if Sam never forgives me? She has a tough exterior, but she is a softy on the inside. She cares about people just as much as Carly does; she just has a different way of showing it. Oh man. What if she DOES feel like I do? What do we do then? Will it be awkward? Well... one way to find out.

"I love" Say it. "Carly" Wrong. She curled up tighter. "But just as a friend." Nice save. Now what? I hesitated. "She just leaned against me and it was my natural reaction. I know how you feel about me and..." Say it. "and..." SAY IT! "I feel the same about you." She looked up. It's coming out. I spoke softer. "I love you, Sam" It's out there now. I know I said it. Oh god, that was so stupid.

"What... did you say?" She was gonna hit me if I told her again. She'll hit me if I lie. Screw it, I've said it twice today already.

"I love" The door opened. Shoot, Carly. Uh uh uh. "This part of the movie." Carly didn't seem to notice. Sam sat up and smiled at me. She's happy. Now I just gotta put my arm around her and... What will Carly say? You know what? Carly is out. I don't love her like I thought I did. She never made me feel like Sam has today, and Carly has always been nice to me. Alright, arm, Sam. I got this. Here I go...

I started to reach back, but I hesitated. Just do it. You know she likes you. She does like you, right? Gosh why is this so hard. I just want to-
