Sam's POV

I didn't think that life without mom in the house was so boring. She left Seattle last night and now, I'm in my room listening to Bruno Mars. I've got nothing better to do...

Easy come, easy go

That's just how you live, oh

Take, take, take it all

But you never give

Should've known you were trouble

From the first kiss

Had your eyes wide open

Why were they open

I stared at my phone. Hmm... Why weren't they calling?

Gave you all I had but you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, you did

To give me all your love is all I ever asked

'Cause what you don't understand is

"I would catch a grenade for ya," I sang along. "Throw my head on a blade for ya."

Frothy was beside me, purring at my hips while I lay down on my bed, thinking about what I should be doing for today. It's only in the morning and I already feel so bored. Ugh.

"I'd jump in front of a train for ya," I smiled. Jumping in front of trains... Tempting... "You know I'd do anything for ya... I would go through all this pain; take a bullet straight through my brain."

My phone rang. I picked it up, read the name on it...

Yes, I would die for you, baby

But you won't do the same

It was Carly.

"Sam, come over right now," she shrieked.

"No, I won't," I whined. "He probably looks icky now."

"But it's all because of you that this happened," she exclaimed. "Now, get over here right now and apologize."

I frowned. "No!"

"I'll drag you all the way here if I have to," she said. "Now, get right here, right now!"

"No," I was determined.

"If you'll come here, I'll supply you with bacon for the rest of the week while your mom isn't home," she offered.

My eyes sparkled. "Two weeks."

She sighed. "Deal."

"Deal," I placed my phone in my pockets and picked up my cat. "Frothy, momma's gonna get us some food. Wait here, I'll be right back."

She meowed. I took that as an agreement.

"Fredward Benson," I said with disgust. "You will never know, won't you?" I chuckled.

Freddie's POV

My girlfriend, yeah, right. Why would I have a girlfriend like Sam? I mean, she tried to kill me with scorpions, germs and onion rings! Ugh... I can't even imagine what she will give me today.

"Sam will be here in a few minutes," Carly entered the room. "How are you feeling?"

"I'll be fine as long as Santa's little helper isn't here. Why did you even invite her here anyway?" I asked. "And how did you manage to convince her?"

"Bacon for two weeks," she replied. "And she's here to apologize."

I rolled my eyes. "An insincere apology is the last thing I need. Besides, she's probably going to offer me another killer gift again. I wonder how much it's gonna hurt this time."

"You know Sam," she tries to assure me. "She's just trying to torture you, like always. She means no harm."

"No harm?" I almost yelled at her. "If this is no harm, I can't imagine harm!

She sat beside me. "Just accept her apology, Freddie. Please, for me?"

I looked at her eyes. Nope. I didn't feel anything. "You know it doesn't work on me anymore."

"Just because your heart belongs to someone else, doesn't mean that you can't do things for me," she smiled. "I know it hurts."

I smiled. "It's just allergies. After some medication, I will be fine. It doesn't hurt a bit."

"Not that," she smiled in reply. "Loving someone who would never love you back."

"Oh yeah, that," I looked down at my hands. "It's hard sometimes, you know? Remember when I used to have that crush on you and you would always reject me without fail?"

She let out a laugh as she remembered those good times we shared.

"I feel the same way for her now," I said, looking down at the mirror Carly brought me. "She makes me think about why I like her."

"Maybe it's the chemistry that you both share," she giggled. "Oh yeah, you said that you wanted to practise asking her to go out with you, right?"

I sat up straight on the bed and got ready to rehearse my part.

"Err... Should I start now?" I asked, nervous.

"Sure, anytime," she replied. "Whenever you're ready."

I breathed deeply to get myself ready. "Okay. I know that we've only been friends for three years, but I want you to know that I really really like you. No matter how many times you have caused me emotional pain, I want you to know that I like you alot. Will you be my girlfriend?"

A loud sound was made. I turned to take a look at the door.

"Oops," Sam exclaimed. "I think I just walked in on the wrong time. I guess I should get going now."

"Sam, wai-" I was interrupted.

"Oh yeah," she smiled. "I forgot. Here are your gifts for today; six toenail clippings. I didn't know what to give you, so while I cut my toenails, I had an idea and so, I decided to give you toenail clippings."

Carly stood up from the bed. "Sam, I think you misunderstood. Freddie and I were just-"

"It's okay," she replied. "I'm cool with it. My best friends are dating. I'm so excited. Oh, and by the way, Merry Christmas."

With that, she left the apartment. No, wait, she ran out of the apartment.

God, what did I do...
