Chapter 2: iAm Coming Home
[Carly's POV]
"Hi dad."
"Hi honey."
"Ok, so what's going on dad?" I was patiently waiting for this time all afternoon and I just needed to know what was so important.
"Ok Carly, I've got a lot to tell you. First off, I've got a new job"
"Nice Dad, I'm happy for you. What's the job?" I was very happy for him
"I will now be coaching this young man on his aspirations to join the military and when he gets to the military, I will coach a new young man with those same aspirations"
It was definietly something I didn't know anything about the job dad was on about but I was still happy for him. "Wow, that sounds fun!" I said cheerfully
"Carly, that means however a lot of things are changing" he brought on a serious voice.
"What'd ya mean dad?" When he said that, I worried.
"Well, we've got the sell the house, the cars, and most of the things we own" he said this in a voice which sounds not depressed but just casual, which confused me deeply. How can you be calm about this?
I was wiping tears off my face, "how are you in a remotely decent mood and why do we have to sell everything?" I was distraught and angry.
He was uncontrollably laughing, almost passing out while holding me closely, wiping the tears off my face, "Carly honey, are you planning on taking 2 cars and a house on a plane to Seattle?"
Still being unable to contain his laughter, my face brighten as I cried more but they were the happiest tears a girl could have leave their eyes. I screamed in excitement, grabbing my suitcases and my phone running to my room when he shouted, "DON'T TELL FREDDIE!"
Then I stopped, still excited about the fact I'll see Spencer, Gibby and of course Freddie again as well as stepping onto Seattle soil again but dad saying that definitely knocked me down a bit.
"Why?" I sounded confused with many sprinkles of happiness.
"Don't wanna ruin the suprise of your one true love do ya?" he said this very cheeky.
I went into dreamland, starring Carly Shay and Freddie Benson. All I could think of was the many ways I could suprise him. I called him but I made sure not to tell him the big news.
[Freddie's POV]
I was sitting down, watching a Galaxy War marathon when I receive a call from Carly. Carly and I talk regularly over the phone but instead of a tired, stressed sounding Carly I regularly hear after one of her long shifts, I got the chirpy, angelic sounding Carly that I became attracted to all those years ago.
"Hey Freddie"
"Hi Carly, how was work?"
"It was good except I was in such a rush to get home I made some mistakes, only minor so they could easily be fixed by the editors."
"Carly in a rush?" The shock in my voice was full of sarcasm
"Haha! Anyways, how was work for you Freddo?" she said with a slight flirty tone to her cheerful voice.
"Umm, I just went shopping with my mum. I've had a free day off work."
They talked about all kinds of things for about 30 minutes
"Ok Freddie, I've gotta go ok? Got some packing to do."
"Oh cool, where you going?"
"Oh just on holiday" she sounded hesitant, which confused me.
"Really, where to?" I tried ignore any curiosity I had about her hesitation to answer my question.
"Ummm, just to Japan. Why aren't you a boy with a lot of questions?" She said almost nervous. Why was she nervous?
"Carly, are you alright?"
"Yea, I'm just tired, yea, goodnight"
She hung up the phone before I could say bye. That was awfully weird.
[Carly's POV]
Woah, I was way too close to spilling the beans to Freddie. I could've covered that up much easier, as if I wasn't in a panic.
I can't believe that 5 days time and I'll be getting on a plane for a 13 hour trip back to Seattle, it was all I've dream off since I got to Italy, I just couldn't get used to not living in my crazy apartment with Spencer and almost always having Sam stay over, doing iCarly weekly, having my dream boy right next door with his looney mother. But dream no more it's all coming to life.
I decided to pack some things, hoping that I could fast forward time to that very Friday afternoon where I'll be stepping on my ride home.
Once I packed a few small things, I jumped into bed after shouting goodbye to dad, him responding likewise and shutting my eyes I whispered to myself, "I'm coming home" dozing off to sleep soon enough.
