A/N: Ok so this is the next chap of iWont Desert You. I'd like to apologize for the past few chapters. They weren't really good as I was suffering from writers block. Thoughts are in italics. Enjoy
Chapter 4 –Mistake
They walked into Galini's pie shop, hungry for another piece of Galini magic.
"Hey Mario, can we have trhee pieces of the coconut cream pie?" Carly asked, her mouth starting to water from thinking about the delicious pie.
"Sure." He replied, serving up three plates of creamy pie. The trio took their plate and sat down at a table, instantly driving their forks into the pie.
"So tonight is iCarly, you guys ready to do an awesome show." Freddie asked, taking another bite of pie.
"Yep, but we should probably rehearse one last time after we're done here." Sam quickly shot. She could not remember what she was supposed to do during the show. Her mind was distracted the past few days due to everything that just happened. The nagging headache that came with it didn't help either.
"Yeah." Carly said, putting the last bite of pie into her mouth. "I'm gonna call Spencer to see if he wanted any pie."
For the first time, Sam took the longest to finish her pie. Soon Carly hung up the phone and waked over to the counter to get a few slices of pie. Sam was too engrossed in her pie that she did not realise Freddie was staring at her to whole time.
"Her beautiful golden hair, her big blue eyes and her… OH MY GOD!" his thought were cut short when Sam suddenly looked up. "I hope she did not see me staring at her." he blushed not realising it and looked up to see Sam smiling at him.
"What." Sam shook her head and continued to smile. She knew very well that he was staring at her but did not want to embarrass him. There was a moment of awkward silence and both just sat there looking down.
"So …. You still have not told me what's bothering you. One, you have not insulted me the whole day no matter what dorky thing I do. Two, you took forever to finish your pie and three, you actually want to rehearse." Freddie questioned.
"Nothing." Sam lied. She did not want to tell anyone about her problems yet.
"But…"
'Okay, let's go. I've got the pie and we can get going." Carly boomed out of no where.
Sam quickly stood up and exited the store, hoping that Freddie would not ask her any more questions.
"Sam, I can't believe you never told me." Carly shouted.
"I just didn't want it to ruin our friendship." Sam rebutted, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You think that by keeping it a secret, it would not have ruined our friendship?" Carly shouted, her face growing angrier. "You know what Sam, you just made the biggest mistake of you life. As off this moment, we are no longer friends since I can't trust you anymore."
"No please Carly. Don't leave me." Sam started to tear and grabbed Carly's hand as she turned. " Please."
Carly pulled her hand away and caused Sam to fall to the ground. Sam sat on the floor, pouring tears out.
"Sam? Sam.!" She awoke to see Freddie on top of her. "Sam, are you okay?" She regained her composure realising it was all a dream.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Sam said, trying to sound as calm as possible after what just happened. She got up from the couch and pretended nothing happened.
"Well, maybe because you were shouting in your sleep and crying." Freddie stated, pointing to her face.
" What!?" Sam rubbed her face of all traces of tears. "Oh that happens all the time, I have uh…. Overactive tear glands."
"Overactive tear glands?" Freddie said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. I had them since I was young." Sam said, quickly realising how stupid that excuse was.
"Sure. Anyway, iCarly starts in half an hour so you should probably get ready." Freddie said pressing the elevator button. "and wash up, you look like you just woke up."
"That's because I did." Sam stated.
"Oh come on, no dork no anything. I thought that would have at least got me a dork?" Freddie screamed. He didn't know why but he was missing hearing her insult him. It always gave him an excuse to talk to her.
"Freddie, stop it. I'm not going to insult you." Sam retaliated walking towards the bathroom. She steeped in and closed the door.
She looked into the mirror and stared into it. The dream really scared her. She did not want to lose her best friend but didn't know if she should tell Carly. She turned on the tap and splashed a handful of water on her face. She loved the feeling of cool water on her face. It always helped calm her down.
As she looked into the mirror, she felt her stomach churn. She tried holding it in but the urge was overpowering.
She ran to the toilet bowl and threw up. the symptoms were becoming more obvious but she still didn't seek treatment. She wanted to tell someone about it first but she could not bring herself to do that.
She walked out of the bathroom and took the elevator up. She kept wondering if she should tell Carly. She did not want her dream to come true.
The elevator door opened and she walked into the studio. Carly and Freddie were sitting in beanbags looking through some videos iCarly fans sent in.
"Hey, had a good sleep." Carly asked.
"You can say that." Sam dropped herself into a beanbag beside Freddie.
"What you guys looking at?" She questioned.
"Just some videos people sent in to iCarly." Freddie responded.
"How long till the show starts?"
"Um … ten minutes." Freddie said checking his watch.
"Hey Freddie, can you go get me a smoothie after the show?" Sam asked.
"Sure but on one condition." Freddie said.
"Sure, anything."
"Call me a dork just once. It's kinda weird not hearing you insult me."
"Whatever dork. There happy?" Sam said rolling her eyes.
"Yep."
The show was over and Freddie had left to get the smoothies. Sam actually had an ulterior motive for sending Freddie to get smoothies. She wanted to be alone with carly so she could tell her about the AIDS problem.
"Hey carls, can I talk to you for a minute." Sam sat on the couch and took a deep breath, gearing up for the big spill.
"Sure, what's the problem?" Carly said, taking a seat beside Sam. Spencer was out with a date and no one else was there.
"Carly, before I say anything, promise me you won't freak."
"Sam, don't be ridiculous." She said.
"Okay here goes." Sam took a deep breath. "I have AIDS."
"Yeah, very funny Sam. So what's the real problem?" Carly said.
"I'm serious." Sam said with an honest face.
"Wait, I know that face. Your telling the truth?" Sam looked down. "How did this happen?"
Before she could respond Carly cut in. "I'm sorry Sam but you can't hang around here anymore."
"What? Why?" Sam could not believe what she just heard. This was what she was trying to avoid.
"Listen, my mum passed away when I was little because she had AIDS and my father has vowed that he would never let that happen to me so, I'm sorry Sam." Carly said, starting to tear up. She did not like bringing up painful memories and having to sever ties with her best friend did not help.
"I thought you would understand. Guess I was wrong." Sam said also tearing up.
"I'm sorry Sam but….."
"Save it. I don't need to hear anymore." Sam said and she walked towards the door.
Standing outside was Freddie holding a smoothie in his hand. He was smiling until he saw Sam crying. She closed the door and stared at Freddie.
"What happened?" Freddie asked
Sam didn't say anything and ran into Freddie, crying into his shirt. Freddie was shocked by her sudden reaction. He put an arm around her and comforted her.
A/N: Hey. Hope you like this chapter. I know it is not right for me to make Carly so mean but it ties into the story later on. Anyway please review.
