Carly Shay was in her room, coloring again. She sighed as she glanced around. One week Shay, just one week to prove to them that you don't belong here. With that thought in mind, she resumed coloring. Minutes later, she was startled by knocking on her door.
"Carly Shay, you have visitors." Annie announced as she opened the door. Outside the doorway were Spencer, Sam and Freddie. Spencer was carrying a tray filled with his Speghetti Tacos.
"Hey kido, I made you some of my famous Speghetti Tacos and I made sure to make them the best Speghetti Tacos I have ever made in my entire life!" Spencer exclaimed.
Carly smiled. "Wow, thanks Spencer, you really didn't have to do all this."
Sam scoffed. "Come on Carls, after everything you've been through because of that Eric nub and the 'reason' you're even here in the first place and you have to stay for five whole weeks."
Carly chuckled. "Actually I made a deal with Annie. The deal was that if I can prove to her and the other staff for this entire week that I'm not crazy, they'll let me go."
"I don't know Carls," Sam began in sing song. "Have you met some of the patients? They're pretty cray cray." She shook her head. "And man, the food here must be awful."
"Actually they have amazing casadeas here." Carly replied.
"I'll be the judge of that." Sam was very testy when it came to food.
Carly took a bite into one of the Sphegetti Tacos and her eyes widened. "I don't believe it! These really are the best Sphegetti Tacos you've ever made in your life!" She jumped up and gave Spencer a big hug.
"Well I'm glad you liked them." He sighed. "I just still can't believe you're really here."
Carly sighed. "Me either but I'll be out of here soon."
Sam groaned. "Man! It must be boring! You know, just sitting here and doing nothing."
"Actually there is a coloring book with crayons." Carly replied. "I can also finger paint if I want and paint pictures."
Sam rolled her eyes. "Whatever, I just want to try their casadeas.
Carly chuckled. "Why did I have a feeling you'd say that?"
"Typical Sam." Freddie replied as he shook his head.
"Seriously! I'm starving!" Sam whined as she pointed at her stomach.
Freddie was surprised. "But you just ate, how can you be starving?"
"Simple, I just think about food."
He sighed. "We better go find one of the staff before Sam tries to chew off my arm. Are you allowed out of this room?"
Carly nodded. "They need to know about it though and I need adult supervision." She said Adult Supervision in a mimicking tone and rolled her eyes.
Sam headed for the door. "Great, then let's git."
"Sam wait, don't!" Carly shouted, before Sam could turn the knob on the door. "There's a security alarm set up for all the rooms so none of the patients escape."
Sam pounded on the door with frustration. "Well this is totally jank!"
"Sam, don't pound on the door. I'm going to get in trouble. They'll think it's me having a mental breakdown and lock me in the paded cell again." Carly explained.
"I'd like to lock them up in a padded cell." Sam remarked.
Freddie sighed as he sat next to Carly. "Well I guess we can all just hang out here."
Sam whined. "I have to eat!"
"Alright Sam, just calm down. We'll think of something." He tried to assure her.
She got in his face and yanked on his colar. "Don't tell me what to do Benson." She continued to bang on the door even though Carly told her not too. Spencer and Freddie tried to stop her but it was no use. It was like trying to calm down an angry bear who wanted to claw your eyes out.
Nurse Annie was walking by and immediately pulled out her walkie talkie. "I need your help. The banging is coming from Miss. Carly Shay's room. Hurry! She's going to hurt herself!"
"No!" Spencer yelled.
"Carly's not doing anything!" Freddie shouted.
"It's me, Sam Puckett. Now let us outta here lady, I'm starving!" Sam ordered.
"Uh never mind. It's one of her visitors." Annie put her walkie talkie away and entered the room.
Sam rolled her eyes. "Well it's about time."
"Can we go out in the lobby? Is Carly allowed?" Freddie asked.
"Depending on how stable our patients are and if they can interact well with the others without getting violent, then I don't see any problem." Annie replied.
"Good, now get me some casadeas!" Sam ordered.
In the lobby, some patients were working on a puzzle, some were playing board games and card games like Uno.
Carly, Sam, Freddie and Spencer sat at an empty table where a male patient rushed over to introduce himself. "Hey, I'm Caleb and I can predict the future."
"Yeah, I'm sure you can." Carly replied sarcastically.
"You're going to be the first female president of the United States!" He proudly exclaimed.
"Really?" She asked, suddenly becoming intrested. "Okay, tell me more."
"That crazy girl who kidnapped you; Nora Dirshlit, she's going to kidnap you again." He said.
Sam was eating a casadea from her tray. "Mm, these are amazing." She said with her mouth full.
Freddie smiled and turned his attention on Carly. "Well at least now I don't have to worry about Sam eating me."
Carly nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she was getting pretty hungry."
Annie observed how Carly seemed to be getting along with some of the patients and watched as she played Uno with Freddie, Sam, Spencer, Caleb and a girl around Carly's age who had long brown hair and horn rimed glasses.
"My name is Denise Chapmen and I've been here for nearly two months now." The girl explained.
"Well I was just admitted here last night." Carly replied.
Denise began to study her as if she remembered her from somewhere. "You look familiar to me."
Carly was confused. "I do?"
"Oh, I remember now, you're Carly Shay from iCarly. I am a huge fan of your webshow. I thought your most recent Webisode was hilarious and I don't care what other people have been saying about you lately, I know what a jerk Eric is."
Sam was now the one to be confused. "What are you talking about?"
"I saw his videos and everything. I know he's a liar and I know him. I was his girlfriend for a couple of months until one night at his party when he-" Tears began to pour from her eyes. "When he raped me."
Carly, Sam, Freddie and Spencer looked horrified.
"Oh my God!" Carly exclaimed. "That jerk did what to you?"
Sam put a hand over Carly's mouth. "Carly, you're being observed." Sam reminded her.
"Sorry." Carly appolijized once Sam removed her hand.
Denise sighed. "I really liked him. He was nothing but the perfect ideal boyfriend that any girl could ever hope to have. There were romantic dinners at very expensive restaurants, his cool car, and everything. It was all a facade. He never really loved me, he just wanted to get in my pants. He invited me to his party and half of his friends were loud, obnoxious and drunk.
He asked me if I'd like to be somewhere alone with him where it would be more quiet and I immediately accepted his offer, not thinking of him to be that kind of guy who would hurt me in anyway. He led me upstairs and into his room. I admired the view from his window, he complimented me and we began to make out. That's when he began to run his hands through my skirt. He wouldn't listen when I told him to stop, so I jerked away and headed for the door only to discover that he had locked it.
I saw the look on his face. He pulled a condom out of his left pocket. I suddenly felt helpless, knowing that no one would be able to hear me scream over the loud music. He gave me two options, to be a good girl and get on the bed myself or he'd help me himself. I was so scared that I couldn't move. He walked over and lifted me over his shoulder. I pleaded and begged him not to do this but he didn't listen. He placed me on the bed, immediately got on top of me and tore at my clothing. Before I knew what was going on, he was thrusting in and out of me, feeling my body, kissing me all over and moaning."
Carly didn't know what to say. She felt awful for her. The girl was raped by this sicko and Carly was nearly a rape victim herself. "So- So why are you here?"
"The same reason you are. Everyone thinks I'm a monster. On Monday when I went back to school, Eric approached me, telling me how much fun he had with me Friday night and that he'd like to have some more fun after school. I refused and I broke up with him, calling him a creep and a disgusting rapist. He turned the entire school against me and convinced the adults that there's something wrong with me and that's how I got sent here." Denise explained.
"That's horrible." Carly replied.
Freddie shook his head with disgust. "And I'm guessing he created some pathetic sob story as an excuse to leave your school so everyone could feel even more sorry for him?"
Denise nodded. "Since you're a web star, you have it way worse than me. Eric can ruin you in millions of ways and get the whole universe to hate you."
Carly sighed. "We can't let him get away with this. What he's doing is terrible and God knows how many girls he did this too. We have to work together to expose him for the terrible person he truly is. First we have to both get out of here. I have a week to prove to Annie that there's nothing wrong with me."
"I have a week left before I'm released from here." Denise replied.
"Perfect." Carly said.
