A/N: Cool.
Freddie drove around for hours. It was getting dark when he finally stopped in front of a grocery store. He got out and walked in. He immediately walked over to the aisle where him and Sam bummed into each other. He touched the boxes of Goldfish that were on the shelf and looked down at his feet. When he looked up, he saw a flash of blonde round the corner of the aisle. He rounded the corner and grabbed the blonde's shoulders. When he turned her around, however, it was some other girl. She looked scared and he quickly let go of her. "Oh sorry," he said awkwardly and walked back to the other aisle. "I'm so stupid," he mumbled to himself. He stood in the aisle for a while before walking back out. He got in his car and drove around some more. It was finally midnight when his car came to a stop right outside Sam's apartment. Freddie's eyes grew heavy and he fell asleep in the car.
Suddenly Freddie was back in his apartment, but he wasn't really himself. Instead he was looking in on the fight he and Sam had. He was looked at himself and winced at his response to Sam. Freddie felt like punching his other self in the face but just turned to look at Sam's hurt face. As she grabbed her stuff, his dream self seemed to be floating with her. He floated along beside her as she closed the door shut and heard her whisper, "bye Freddie". His dream self continued floating behind her as she rounded the corner and broke down crying, leaning up against the wall. Freddie got a knot in his throat and wished he hadn't seen this, but he couldn't look away. He reached out to grab her as she slowly slid to the ground. Nothing happened though since he was his dream self. She cried quietly for a while, just sitting there in the hallway. I could have stopped this, Freddie thought, if only I had gone after her. He looked around the corner and saw his door. She was right here and I…Sam looked up. Tears were no longer forming in her eyes and she stood up. "I guess he's not coming after me," she whispered to herself. She pulled herself together and walked out the building. Suddenly everything got really bright and Freddie had to close his eyes.
Freddie woke up in a jolt. He looked around confused for a bit until he realized where he was. He massaged his neck a bit. Falling asleep in the car was definitely not a smart idea. Then his eyes landed on the door of Sam's apartment building. He stared at it until the door opened and out walked Sam. Freddie jumped out of the car and onto the pavement but Sam was already too far to see him. "Sam," Freddie yelled. She stopped dead in her tracks but didn't turn around. "Sam," Freddie said again, walking towards her. Her body stiffened up but she still hadn't turned around. "What do you want, Freddie," her voice was harsh and cold. "I.." Freddie started. "Didn't go after me," Sam interrupted turning to face him. "I'm…sorry," Freddie said. Sam turned back around and started to walk away. "So am I."
Freddie ran after her quickly this time, with no hesitation. He stood in front of her to block her from continuing on. "Oh so now you," Sam started. "I love you, Sam" Freddie interrupted. Sam just stood there as her body stiffened up again. Freddie didn't say a word; he just stood there looking at her. Sam stared at the ground, trying to contemplate what just happened. Finally Freddie sighed and took a step back. "I get it," he said, "look, Sam, I shouldn't have said what I said and I should have run after you and I should have done a lot of things but the biggest thing I didn't do that I should have was tell you I love you, so there. I love you, Sam. I love you. I was scared….actually, I was terrified because of the way I felt about you so I, I pushed you away and I…" Sam looked up at him, "am rambling," he finished. He looked at Sam again, watching as she crossed her arms across her chest. "I can't…" Sam started. Freddie got a knot in his throat so he looked down at his feet. "stay mad at you, you know that?" Freddie looked back up. "Even though I was furious I forgave you probably a minute later and THAT scared the crap out of me. I love you so much that I didn't even care about what you said and that terrified me too. The truth is…I" Sam couldn't put into words what she was trying to say, but she didn't have to because Freddie had moved in and kissed her. Everything just stopped as they stood there kissing. Freddie held on to her so tight he thought he was suffocating her so he let her go. They pulled apart and just stood there.
"So where do we go from here," Freddie asked. "How bout up," Sam said smirking. Freddie smirked back and pulled her towards the door. "Just to eat," Sam said, emphasizing the word eat. "Yea…just to 'eat'," Freddie replied. Sam rolled her eyes as they walked into the building.
A/N: The end.
