Hello Dravenites, welcome to chapter 5! This is probably the most fun I've had writing for a while.
Sam still looked frozen.
'' Is she ok?'' Freddie asked.
Sam shook her head, '' wait, so you knew and you didn't tell me?''
'' 'Fraid so sis, you wouldn't've believed me if I told you.''
'' True'' Sam muttered.
'' So, does that mean we're good?'' Freddie asked, his arms open for a hug.
'' I- I don't know'' Sam said, '' you should go, I need to speak to someone'', Sam then went to her room and locked the door.
Freddie and Melanie just stood there for a second. '' So, I'll drive you home'' Melanie said, breaking the silence.
'' Ok, but what about Sam?''
'' I'm not sure, she's spent the last two years hating you when she shouldn't have been. It's a big shock to her system'' Melanie responded, a look of worry on her face.
As the pair walked to Melanie's car Sam fell on her bed and screamed.
She did this for 20 seconds, reached for her phone and dialed a number.
'' Hey Sam'' came a familiar voice.
'' Hey Carls listen, I have big news''
'' Ooh big news, go on''
'' Ok, so you know how Freddie and I got back together two years ago after the ICarly hiatus?''
'' Yeah?''
'' And how he kissed Valerie Smit and insisted he didn't?''
'' Well Melanie just dropped a major bombshell on me. She was there the night Freddie kissed her!''
'' What?! Where was she?''
'' She was the bartender, I could've sworn she looked familiar''
'' Well what'd she say?''
'' She says she saw Valerie kiss Freddie first''
'' Ok, so what're you gonna do with that information?''
'' Explain''
'' Well, now you know the truth, what're you gonna do with it?''
'' I really don't know, I've spent the last two years hating a guy who didn't deserve hatred. We could be engaged if it wasn't for me''
'' So you made a mistake, everyone makes them. All you have to do is learn from them.''
'' But what if Freddie doesn't forgive me? I called him a sick fuck you know.''
'' What if he does? Freddie isn't like other guys, he'll understand if you made a mistake.''
'' Well he did get Melanie's number just so he could speak to me so he probably still likes me''
'' That's the spirit, now you keep getting ready for that audition you have soon, and when Mel gets back from work you ask her for Freddie's number''
'' Ok, thanks Carls, you're the best therapist that Seattle has''
'' That's what the business card says''
'' Bye Carly''
'' By Sam''

'' Well, that's interesting '' Gibby said , once Freddie had got home.
'' Yeah, pretty big shock, I don't know how Sam's going to cope with this. She's spent two years wanting to kill me.''
'' Hey maybe you guys can move past this, I mean hopefully Melanie will give me another chance'' David suggested.
'' Maybe dude, but Sam told me to go to Hell, she clearly doesn't want anything to do with me.''
'' Wait, you're giving up, you had your wedding planned dude'' Gibby said.
'' Maybe , but I need to move on, she hates me and this '' new world'' she has to deal with will probably make her hate Melanie as well. I'm done with her'' Freddie said as he downed more Tylenol.
David and Gibby looked at each other with looks of horror and shock.
'' So, what now?'' David asked.
'' I go on Tindr, I focus on my work and eventually I become the CIO of PEAR''
'' As long as you don't go after CEO bud, that's my job'' Gibby joked, sipping his scotch.
'' Listen I'm going to bed, and before you ask I put an alarm on my phone to go off every half hour'' Freddie said.
'' Good for you bud, be ready for tomorrow you have to testify in front of the board of directors so I don't get canned'' Gibby called.
'' Wow, the board of directors, all because we smoked pot?'' David asked.
'' That, and I may have made some purchases which weren't in the company's best interests'' Gibby admitted, his cheeks turning red.
'' Like what?''
'' Let's see, that hot tub in the garden, the fire pit, the 100 inch flatscreen that we're watching Hunted on and the 200 thread count Egyptian cotton linen that's on Freddie and mine's beds.''
'' Crap man, we're screwed'' David panicked.
'' Not really, you see the board favors Freddie, so if he tells them anything, they'll believe him'' Gibby explained.
'' Ok, that's good'' David heaved a sigh of relief. '' So, I won't have to move back home?''
'' Not unless you want to.''

Freddie tossed and turned, his imagination was going wild with vividity. Eventually once it calmed down, he saw himself viewing a wedding, the groom looked familiar, it was him! The woman he was marrying appeared to look familiar as well, moving in closer he realized it was Melanie!
Beep beep beep went his phone.
Getting up Freddie started to think. Save for when they were dating and after they were, Sam was always mean to him, mocking him and making him feel awful. Melanie was different, she and Sam may have had the same face but they were different people. Melanie was kind, smart, sweet and incredible to look at. He wasn't destined to be with Sam, he was destined to be with her sister. Melanie actively showed interest in him even when he was being a jerk, believing Sam was just playing a trick on him.
'' Yo, Freddo, I heard your phone go off, you OK?'' Gibby asked.
'' I'm fine Gib, thanks''.'' I just need to phone someone is all.''
'' Dude, its 23:00, whoever it is, I'm sure it can wait.''
Freddie was shocked, he was sure he had only slept for half an hour but instead he had been asleep for 4 hours!
'' You're right Gibs,'' and with that Freddie went back to sleep.
Hope you guys are enjoying this, because the next chapter is on the way!
