The Kiss, The End, And The New Beginning

(I HEART ? BY TAYLOR SWIFT AND YOU FOUND ME BY THE FRAY)

Sam's POV

"About us...and Carly." Said Griffen.

I sighed.

"Go on."

"Sam, after I broke up with Carly I thought I was over her, but now I know I'm not. I only dated brunettes because they reminded me of her. Then when I saw you as a brunette and you were all girly like Carly, I really liked you. Don't get me wrong, I still liked you when you were yourself. I liked you because you were kind of like me. I could relate to you. But I felt it wasn't working between us so I thought about it and I realized I was still liked Carly. I wanted to make her jealous, and I knew that nothing would make her more envious then me dating her best friend. I know i used you. I'm sorry, I really am. I didn't even think of your feelings until Freddie knocked some sense into me-litterly. It just goes to show that I'm not the right guy for you, Freddie is. I'm just sorry he didn't have the guts to tell you how he felt before I asked you out." He said "What I really wanted to ask you was if it was okay with you if I asked Carly out."

"You used me, now you want to use Carly?I" I finally said.

"No, I won't hurt Carly, I swear."

"i don't no. I won't be jealous, but I don't want you to hurt her like you, like you hurt me!" I cried.

"Sam...I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. I was being stupid. I would never hurt Carly. Believe me." He pleaded.

He seemed so sincere but I didn't know if it was just an act.

"Griffen, do you swear you'll never hurt a girl again?"

"But what if I accidentally..."

"Swear it!"

"I swear I won't hurt her."

"Fine. But if you hurt her, you'll never see tomorrow."

He stepped closer to me and wiped the few tears that had escaped my eyes.

"Sam, your a good friend. No wonder Freddie loves you."

"Yeah right." I thought.

I looked up at him, confused.

"Speaking of Freddie, what did you mean Freddie knocked some sense into you?"

"He didn't tell you? Well, the day I broke up with you, what, like three weeks ago. Well Freddie saw me cheating on you and, well we really didn't get along. The argument ended getting physically."

I stared at him in shock. I moved his hand from my face and hold them. I was to shocked to notice I was squeezing them.

"Freddie beat up Griffen? Why? How come he never fought back when I hit him, but he hit Griffen back?"I thought.

"Sam!?" He shrieked.

"Oh, sorry." I said letting go of his hands.

"Hope things work out with you and Freddie.' He said walking away. "Oh. And Sam?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks." He said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I stood there watching him leave, while touching my cheek.

after about five minutes of utter shock I started walking back towards the gym. I could already hear the song down playing.

"Uh." I said bumping into something, and falling on my butt. "What the...Freddie! Were you eavesdropping on Griffen and I?!"

"What? Me? No!" He said getting up.

I glared at him while he helped me up.

"Then what were you doing out here?"

"Uh, stargazing."

I looked up at the sky.

"Don't you think that would be easier when the stars come out?"

"Umm."

I smiled.

"So are you back together with Griffen?"

"So you were eavesdropping."

"No!' I smirked.

"I was to far away to hear, but I saw him kiss you."

"So? He was thanking me."

He didn't say anything.

"Are you going to ask why?"

"Are you going to hit me?"

"Maybe."

"Okay......Why?"

"I decided to let him date Carly."

He stared at me like I was crazy.

"Are you insane?! After what he did to you?"

"I know it seems crazy, but I don't really like Griffen, yet somehow I'm able to trust him. I know that doesn't make much sense. I mean, how many people can trust a person they hate?"

"I don't know, but we seem to be able to."

I smiled as I remembered our first kiss. We both said we hated each other after we did it, but I doubt we feel the same way now.

"Sam....I...Would you like to dance?"

I stared at him oddly. Then I pulled his cheeks and ruffled his hair.

"what are you doing?"

"Just making sure your the real Freddie."

"Ha,ha. Very funny, but seriously, wanna dance?"

"Fine." I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes.

I took his hand and he lead me inside the gym and towards the dance floor.

When we got inside I saw Carly dancing with Griffen, a huge smile on her face. Shane dancingwith Melanie, my ex-boyfriend Johna and Freddie's ex-girlfriend, Valarie, dancing.

The song scars by Papa Roach started playing. I put my hands on Freddie's shoulders and he put his hands on my hips.

"Freddie?"

"Yeah?"

"Why...Why did you beat Griffen up? You weren't jealous were you?"

"No. I just don't think he should treat girls like that."

"Oh.....Why did you kiss me? Remember that one night you drove me home."

"Because of sweet dreams, remember?"

"Don't give me that crap! Freddie, why? Why did you ask me to dance? Why don't you love Carly anymore? Why are you nice to me? Why does my heart beat when your around? Why do you have to be such a nub?"

"Because I love you. I Freddie Benson love you, Samantha Puckett."

I stopped danceing and stared at him.

"I, I love you too." I replied.

"Are you going to kiss now?" Ask Wendy coming out of nowhere.

"Can I? Can I kiss you?" He asked.

"Freddie your such a nub."

"Yeah, but I'm your nub."

Then he kissed me.

I froze.

"Sam? You aren't going to hit me now are you?"

"Not now. Maybe later."

"Good."

"Good?"

"Yeah, good. It wouldn't be the same if you never tormented my life."

I smiled, shook my head, and kissed him.

And so Princess Puckett and Sir Benson lived happily ever after-kind of. Well only when they weren't having their daily disputes, but otherwise, happily.

The End

Scratch that it's a

new begging

(It's the beginning of their lives together)

It started with a war, which lead to a kiss, which caused lots of drama, and ended with a kiss and a truce. :D

I want to thankyou all for bearing with me, my grammar mistakes, my bad jokes, and my weirdness. I just realized that this will be my last rant so forgive me if I'm a little emotional. *Tear, tear. I hate to end a story, especially this one, but I felt it was time to end, no I'm sorry beginning this one. Yeah I know another bad joke. Well enough of that, please comment and review! Oh! I'll miss typing that! But don't worry I'll write more stories! Anyway I noticed Griffen talk a whole bunch in the first paragraph, it sure was a long one. And I know the ending was undeatailed and choppy, again I'm sorry for my grammar issues, but hey, I'm a 7th grader, and you lose braincells when you become a teenager so now that I'm 13 I must admit I don't feel as smarticul as I did when I was 12. Wow, this was a long rant. Well bye for now! Don't forget to comment/review!
