We see Robbie's jealousy again in this chapter, and it causes a slight problem between him and the others.

Enjoy.

Since I have all the chapters finished, I'll be updating every two days or so. The next update will be Friday, and the last updates will be next week.

Thank you for the reviews, follows, and favorites.

Thanks to CrackersKay for pointing out my mistake. It's towards the end of the chapter, with Beck talking about how to keep Cat safe.

No POV

It's been a few days after the debrief, and things in school have been going pretty easy, not counting the glares Robbie sends from across the room at Cat and Freddie, and over the last day or so, the others for being so okay with Cat's new boyfriend.

Since Monday, the gang and Sikowitz have noticed that Robbie seems to be acting like Rex now, but much worse because of his jealousy when Cat is nearby, the usual Robbie persona gone.

Early Wednesday morning, while everyone is waiting at their lockers and getting ready for the school day, Robbie walks over to Freddie at the ex-iCarly tech producer's locker.

"Hello Freddie." Robbie says, his tone dark, hair no longer in the afro, with some strands of hair covering his left eye.

"Robbie?" Freddie asks, confused at the sudden appearance of the ex-puppet master.

"Where are your 'friends' this morning?" Robbie asks, stressing the word friends.

"Not here yet." Freddie responds, closing his locker. "Is there something I can do to help you?" He asks, closing his bag and facing Robbie fully.

"Break up with Cat. Before lunch." Robbie answers, glaring fiercely at the Seattlite.

"What? No!" Freddie says, shocked. "I'm not breaking up with her because you want her." He answers, walking away.

"Do it, or I break your arms." Robbie growls out, grabbing Freddie's left arm and pulling it, causing Freddie to turn around.

"Dude, chill out." Freddie says, pulling his arm out of Robbie's surprisingly tight grip. "What the hell is your problem?" He asks, noticing André and Beck coming up behind Robbie, confused and angry looks on their faces.

"My problem is you!" Robbie yells out, oblivious to the two behind him. "Since you moved here, you've been slowly stealing MY woman! And I'm sick of it! Break her heart, so she'll come crawling to me!" He yells, stepping toward Freddie, backing him against the wall behind him.

"No! I'm not breaking Cat's heart just so you can have her." Freddie says, pushing Robbie back. "It's not my fault Cat wanted to go out with me. I asked her out, she said yes. That's it." He says, going to walk around him.

"It is your fault!" Robbie yells, pushing him again. "You never should have come to this school. You knew I loved Cat, so you stole her before I could ask her out." He says, poking Freddie's chest.

"You've had over three years to do it." André growls out, turning Robbie around. "You never asked her out. You always chickened out. It's no one's fault but your own that you never did."

"She would have said yes, but she got tired of waiting for you to." Beck adds. "You were close during the Cow Wow, but you didn't chase after her when she ran."

"How do you know about that?" Robbie asks, growling at André and Beck.

"Cat told Jade, who told me." Beck answers. "While Jade and I were still together, we actually started planning a date for the two of you to get you together." He admits.

"So why did you never go through with it?" Robbie asks, tauntingly.

"We were too busy rebuilding our relationship." Beck says, glaring at Robbie who scoffs at the answer.

"Just walk away, Rob." André says, cutting off what anyone would say next. "You don't want to start something you can't finish." He warns, taking a step forward.

"No!" Robbie yells, surprising the two boys who have known him for years. "None of you did anything to stop him from taking her."

"No one took Cat." Freddie throws in, getting mad at Robbie. "She chose to go out with me. No one forced her into anything."

"I will have Cat. And if I have to kill you to get her, I will." Robbie warns in a low growl, making sure André and Beck didn't hear him. When Freddie doesn't respond, Robbie walks away, a slight smirk on his face.

"What the hell was that about?" Beck asks, staring at a retreating Robbie.

"He just threatened to kill me to get Cat." Freddie says, staring slightly dumbfounded at the retreating boy.

"The hell happened to him? Since the cookout he's been distant." Beck asks, facing the other two boys.

"No idea. Something tells me that we all need to keep a close eye on that boy." André says, facing Beck and Freddie. "And to make sure Cat is never alone, especially if Robbie can get to her." He says, afraid of what Robbie might do.

"Think he'd go that far?" Freddie asks, stressing the question.

"Look, from what he told me years ago when he first created Rex, the Rex persona is his dark half, essentially." Beck says, leading André and Freddie towards the small corner on the opposite side of the hallway.

"Dark half?" André asks, a confused look on his face.

"Yeah. And all those Northridge girls he used to chase? That was Rex wanting to get laid, and everyone knows Northridge girls give it up before the first date even starts. I over heard Robbie and Rex saying that they don't like it because it's so easy, and Rex loves to overpower a girl. Against their will." He warns, voice low so no one hears him.

"How can we prevent him from doing anything to Cat?" André asks, afraid of Robbie's possible intentions.

"I don't know. We have to tell Tori and Jade. We'll need their help. Other than that, I don't know." Beck answers.

"Does anyone live in her apartment complex that could help?" Freddie asks, his voice quiet, multiple thoughts running through his head.

"Not that I know about." André says. "They usually keep to themselves."

"What if we can get her to stay at Tori's? Her dad's a cop. He can stop Robbie if he tries anything." Freddie asks, staring at the others desperately.

"He works a lot. And Robbie knows it. It won't help." Beck says, regret in is voice.

"Then what about Sikowitz? Jade? One of you guys? She needs to stay somewhere where he can't get to her." Freddie tries.

"Won't help." André starts. "I live with my grandma, and she's no help in a situation like that."

"My RV won't help. Robbie knows how to get the door open and try something." Beck adds, upset. "And he knows that my parents won't see or hear anything, and his dad owns a couple of guns, one of them a hunting rifle." He adds in, voice straining with anger and regret at being unable to help Cat.

"My grandma's apartment is near the emergency ladder. If he tries anything, she can't stop him and there's no way to know if he tries something. He knows how to unlock the windows from outside." André adds in, adding to why he can't help. "No alarm on the windows. Only the doors."

"And Jade?" Freddie asks, his hope dropping quickly.

"Lives alone essentially. Her dad and stepmom are never home, her mom lives in another state. Besides, she's usually at Tori's anyway." Beck replies. "And Robbie knows how to get into her house without getting caught. He knows how to disable the alarm system from a distance. By the time the cops are alerted, he could already be inside."

"Sikowitz?" Freddie asks, desperate.

"Alone, no alarm system. Nothing to stop Robbie from walking in. Sikowitz usually either stays here until late in the evening, or is at wherever he goes to get his coconuts." Beck answers.

"Fuck." Freddie says, growling, as he slams his hand against the wall.

"Fuck indeed." André says, fists clenched.

"We have to make sure Robbie never gets near Cat. She's safe in school. She has Tori or Jade in almost every class. The only exception is her costume design class, but that class is taught my an ex-Marine." Beck says.

"So there's nothing we can do?" Freddie asks, desperate and worried.

"Not yet." André responds. "But we will figure something out. He won't touch her. We guarantee it." He says, sharing a look of determination with Beck.

"When are we going to tell Jade and Tori?" Freddie asks, his fears not diminishing.

"How about Sikowitz's class? We can ask him if we can do an improv scene, and share Robbie's intentions with the class. Sikowitz will notice immediately that it's not acting. He can help us figure something out." André says, walking with the others towards class.

"Good. Let's hope we can stop Robbie before anything happens." Freddie says, gripping his backpack strap tightly, his knuckles white.

Sorry for the tense chapter. I felt like it was important to show how Robbie is handling the news. This is a little different for me. I'm used to writing Beck the bad guy, but since it was Cat and not Jade that's dating someone, I felt it more realistic. I know Jade's with Tori, but in this fic, he's not jealous or anything about it.

Thank you for reading. There are only maybe two or three chapters left, maybe four.

Blessed Be.
