AN = Hey! I'm back! I just want to announce that in December, 1st - 26th, I'm gonna be posting every day, hopefully! A new Christmas story every day! I am really excited because I don't think I have ever ever ever written a Christmas oneshot before. So, this chapter: I am obsessed with a few different songs and this one is called They Don't Know About Us by One Direction; although, I do listen to a cover of it. Anyway, please enjoy!
I don't own iCarly or the song used in this fanfic. *Cries*
They Don't Know
The rain hit against the window. I shivered in the cold as I stepped onto the fire escape. I pulled my phone out from my pocket and sent Freddie a quick message.
Outside. x 2:39 am
Almost instantly, Freddie came to his bedroom window and opened it for me. I crawled through the open window and closed it silently behind me before drawing the curtains.
I looked at Freddie just as he yawned. Which made me yawn. I glared at him and he laughed.
"I hope I didn't wake you." I said sarcastically, taking a step towards him and crossing my arms over my chest.
"Yeah, I'm up at two am anyway." He chuckled, rolling his eyes.
"Is crazy home?" I asked, looking over my shoulder at his bedroom door.
He laughed again, "Unfortunately."
"Well, so what?" I dropped myself down onto his bed so I was lying on my back.
He laid down beside me on his side so he could look at me. The room was actually quite dark; I rolled over onto my side and turned the bedside lamp on then rolled over again so I was facing Freddie. He flinched at the light, which made me laugh hysterically.
I covered my mouth with my hand quickly, "I better shut up considering your mum is only in the other room."
"You don't need to shut up." He told me, draping his arm over my waist, "She's a heavy sleeper."
I nodded, "I remember you saying something about that a while ago."
We both went silent for a few minutes. It wasn't awkward, it was comfortable, just like many of our silences. We were just enjoying each others' company.
"But, umm..." I stopped to clear my throat, "We really should stop sneaking around."
"It's fun though." He chuckled, "But I do know what you mean. Carly caught me sneaking out of her apartment yesterday to come see you. I had to make up a lame excuse; I told her my mum needed to give me a tick bath."
"She still does that?"
"Nope, I grew out of it." I looked at him, knowingly, he sighed before continuing, "Fine, my mum only makes me have one a week now."
"And you say she's not crazy."
"Hey, I never said that."
I shook my head before sitting up and crawling under the duvet. Freddie got into bed beside me and I gave him a small smile.
"Just because your mum is home doesn't mean I'm not staying the night." I told him, "I'm tired and cold."
"I never said you couldn't stay the night. I told you that you're welcome any time. No matter what the time is."
I just smiled even more in response before snuggled up to Freddie. He wrapped his arm around me.
A few minutes later, I thought he was asleep since he hadn't spoken or anything so I closed my eyes to go to sleep myself.
"Sam?" He whispered, startling me slightly.
"Mmm?" I muttered in response.
"Why do people say we shouldn't be together?"
I sighed. I knew one of us would ask this question sooner or later. I always wanted to know the answer myself.
"I don't know." I sat myself up against the pillows, "I guess they think we're too young to be able to love someone."
"But we do love each other, right?"
"Of course, Freddie. But some people just don't get that."
...
In the morning, I opened my eyes reluctantly. I rolled over so I was facing Freddie. He was awake. He was laid with his hands behind his head and he was looking up at the ceiling.
"Morning." I said groggily.
"Morning, Sam." He smiled.
"What'cha doing?"
"Just thinking."
I groaned and hid my head under a pillow, "Ugh. It's too early for thinking."
I heard him chuckle, "You can go back to sleep if you want. I told my mum earlier that I was going to spend the day in my room today. I said I had homework to do. She has work all day anyway."
"Thanks." I uncovered my head and laid down on my back, just like Freddie was, with my hands behind my head and I stared at the ceiling.
An idea popped into my head and I just had to write it down.
"Hey, Freddie?" He looked at me and nodded, "Have you by any chance still got my guitar here?"
"Yeah. I was meaning to give it back to you a while ago; it's by my wardrobe."
I got up and grabbed my guitar, a notebook and a pen before sitting back down.
"I'm gonna make some breakfast. Do you want anything?" He asked me, getting up and making his side of the bed.
"Uh, can I have some bacon please?"
"Sure." Freddie pecked my forehead before leaving the room to make breakfast.
I began to strum on my guitar quietly, "People say we shouldn't be together. We're too young to know about forever."
I sighed before writing the lyrics down.
...
"Uh, Freddie?" I said softly from his bedroom doorway. He turned around on the sofa to look at me.
I walked into the living room with my guitar in my hands. He patted the seat next to him, gesturing me to sit down. I took his kind offer and sat down beside him.
"I, uh, wrote something for you."
He looked at me and smiled, "Wait, really?"
"Yeah, about what we were talking about yesterday."
He nodded as I began to play my guitar. I had put my heart and soul into my song and I really hoped he liked it...
People say we shouldn't be together,
We're too young to know about forever,
But I say they don't know what they're talking about.
'Cause this love is only getting stronger,
So I don't wanna wait any longer,
I just wanna tell the world that you're mine.
Oh.
They don't know about the things we do,
They don't know about the "I love yous",
But I bet you if they only knew,
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all nights,
They don't know I've waited all my life,
Just to find a love that feels this right,
Baby, they don't know about,
They don't know about us.
Just one touch and I was a believer
Every kiss it gets a little sweeter
It's getting better,
Keeps getting better all the time,
They don't know about the things we do,
They don't know about the "I love yous",
But I bet you if they only knew,
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all nights,
They don't know I've waited all my life,
Just to find a love that feels this right,
Baby, they don't know about us.
They don't know how special you are,
They don't know what you've done to my heart,
They can say anything they want 'cause they don't know about us,
They don't know what we do best, that's between me and you, our little secret.
But I wanna tell 'em,
I wanna tell the world that you're mine,
They don't know about the things we do,
They don't know about the "I love yous",
But I bet you if they only knew,
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all nights,
They don't know I've waited all my life,
Just to find a love that feels this right,
Baby, they don't know about,
They don't know about the things we do,
They don't know about the "I love yous",
But I bet you if they only knew,
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all nights,
They don't know I've waited all my life,
Just to find a love that feels this right,
Baby they don't know about,
They don't know about us.
I took a deep breath after finishing my song. I looked at him. His eyes were glued to me and he looked like he was going to cry.
"You-You just wrote that?" He asked after he recovered from his shock.
I simply nodded.
"Wow. Sam, that was amazing." We both smiled at each other.
He leaned in and our lips were inches apart.
"You're so worth sneaking around." He said to me before closing the gap between our lips.
I heard the door opening so I quickly pulled away and pushed him away from me. My guitar dropped off my lap and onto the floor.
"Sam? Freddie?"
Oh crab, we'd been caught...
