A/N: This is a side story off of uDon'tKnowMe, one-shot? two shot? Your pick! Or a full story that will be AU of uDon'tKnowMe later on?

My name is Samantha Annelise Puckett. I am 16 years old, I go to Ridgeway High School. My best friend is Carly Annabelle Shay, and Fredward Andrew-Tate Emerson-Benson. Freddie, Carly, and I have our own wecast, called iCarly, and Freddie's the technical producer. Carly has silky black hair, and dark brown eyes, pretty face, all the goods. Me? Well, if you must know, I'm around 5'5", and I have dishwater blond hair, and blue eyes. My hair has a mind of its own, and my body? Well, nothing compared to Carly. After all, that's all that happens now, doesn't it? Carly this, Carly that, it's always about her. I guess you could call my feelings jealousy, or maybe even resentment? Freddie is all about Carly. Maybe I care, maybe I don't. No one knows, after all, about my life at home. Abuse, hate, and secrets. That's all, no love, no hugs, no 'good job Sam for acing your AP English class' or 'You know I love you's it's all terror, and hiding. But Freddie and Carly don't know that, and they're not about to either.

--FREDDIE POV--

Samantha Annelise Puckett. That name brings shivers down my spine, and a grimace across my face. Well, that's what people think. But really, my spine does shiver, out of nervousness, instead of hate, and my face grimaces, out of fear of saying something stupid, or weird. Sam has been my best friend since we were five? Four? We met in kindergarten, where she told me of her father's death, and I told her about my runaway dad, and my dead one. We instantly clicked. I didn't know then, but I'm absolutely and irrevocably in love with her. When Carly moved here, I guess she was just for raging hormones? Oh well, she was good cover too. Sam, my gosh, we've been through a lot with each other. I love how her light blond hair cascades down her shoulders in those light waves, and her crystal blue/gray eyes sparkle with excitement. I've always wondered why my stomach turned when I saw her, and why my heart plunged. I would've killed Jonah for trying to cheat on her, I wish I had, because Sam needs better.

--CARLY POV--

I know Freddie doesn't like me like he says he does. He likes Sam, and it's just about obvious to the world........

Except to Sam and Freddie themselves.

I mean, honestly, I caught Freddie sitting there one day in the iCarly studio, editing photos from his phone, and he zoomed in on Sam's face, and sat there, looking at it. Sam? Well, she's just in denial. I can sense the love between them. Some day, it will happen. I just sense it.

--Normal POV--

"Aw, it's probably Freddork coming to stalk you Carly," Sam groaned as the door knocked.

Carly chuckled.

Freddie heard that. His anger grew. "Sam, can you get it," Carly asked from the kitchen.

"Fine."

She got up, opened the door, then went back to watching T.V.

"Hey Sam," Freddie called.

Sam turned around to face an angry Fredward Benson. "What?" she asked.

"I hate you."

Sam's eyes went wide. She then ran straight out of Carly's apartment. Carly stared at Freddie, her eyes round as quarters before hitting his head, hard. "What was that for?" she exclaimed.

Freddie realized what he had just said. He sank to the couch, his heart shattered. "I don't know," he muttered.

"Freddie, you hurt her. You really did," Carly said to the boy.

--SAM POV--

He said it.

He said it.

He said it.

He said the very same words my 'step-father' says.

And they both mean it.

I'm running. Running from the pain. Running to escape the hurt.

--NORMAL POV--

Freddie was sitting there, in silence while Carly sat stiffly next to him. "I love her," was all he said, before tears cascaded softly down his face.

"I know," Carly replied.

Freddie sat there, silently crying. "Carly, how can I fix this?" he whispered.

Carly sighed, "I don't know Freddie. I guess, you just have to apologize and hope for the best."

Freddie nodded before getting up and walking out.
