Chapter 8

Freddie was at Jennifer's apartment making out on the bed with her as he heard his mobile phone rang. At first he didn't want to pick up because he assumed that it probably was his paranoid mother to get on his nerves with anything she could think of so he at first ignored it. But then his girlfriend said: "Maybe you better pick that up, it could be important you know?" Freddie finally relented, got back into a sitting position, pulled the mobile phone out of the pocket of his jeans and a little worried he picked it up: "Hello Sam, I hope it's because you're interrupting my time with Jennifer."

"Sorry to disturb you Freddie but Carly had an accident and has been brought to the hospital. Can you please forget what happened between you for just one day and come to see her?"

Freddie didn't know what to say for a couple of minutes because he was clearly shocked: *Carly is in the hospital? How could this have happened?* Freddie thought and as he finally thought long enough about what to do he replied: "Okay I will come to see her at the hospital, let's hope that she will be okay again very soon." Sam was happy to hear that Freddie would be also visiting Carly at the hospital and maybe that meant, that things would be soon back normal between again. In the end it came down two things, that certainly would be important for their friendship to come back to life again: Carly had to forgive herself for what she did to Freddie and also the former tech producer of I Carly would have to willing to bury the grudge against the brunette web show host and Sam was really determined, that they could make amends with each other and also was willing to help a little if they didn't try hard enough in her opinion. The ride with Spencer's car to the hospital went by in total silence, because of them were really asking themselves the same question in their thoughts: How bad had Carly been injured?

Freddie on the other side also had a very uncomfortable feeling about all this; he didn't know how to act around his former best friend and certainly didn't know if the grudge against the brunette wouldn't prevail in the end even after trying it so hard to bury it deep inside of him.

The trio finally arrived at the hospital, equally in shock as the two kids Spencer practically ran to the reception and asked: "Where's Carly Shay's room? What's her medical condition right now?"

"And may I ask who you are sir?" The woman at the reception desk answered and patiently waited for the artist to reply.

"I'm Spencer Shay her brother and this are her two friends Freddie and Sam." The artist replied and just forgot at this very moment that Freddie and his baby sister couldn't stand each other.

Then the woman at the reception desk told them the room where Carly was laying right now and that her condition was stable but she hadn't woke up yet. Being not in a very optimistic mood, the trio then finally entered the room of Carly and it made all of them very sad, to the brunette lying lifeless on the hospital bed as the heart monitor next to her bed kept on beeping constantly.

Of course that one question was on his mind, even if he had tried very hard to not let it surface: What if Carly would never wake up? Could he ever forgive himself if he didn't try hard enough to get back on the friendship level with her? He quickly shook his head and thought: *No! Carly won't die in this hospital bed because she doesn't deserve that and she will fight for her life.* for a couple of minutes all of them sat their around Carly's bed, all of them not saying anything because they were just too busy with sorting out their thoughts about all this.

Later that day Freddie was the only one left at Carly's bed and because the silence now got too uncomfortable for him he said: "Hey Carls, I just want to say that I've thought really hard about this and finally can say now that I forgive you. In the end this friendship between me, you and Sam is just too special to me to throw that all away now. "He had to make pause, because he sensed that some tears were about to escape one of his cheeks and this was really something rare to happen to him.

"Sorry that I'm crying now, I don't know why I'm being so sensitive right now. Please wake up Carly if you hear me now." Freddie said in between sobs and he also had to ask himself right now: Was it out of friendship he cried now or did he still have feelings for her deep down?

Of course he was happy together with Jennifer now, but also couldn't deny that after that thing between Carly and Pete had been over that he was kind of happy at that moment. With still two hours visiting hours to go at the hospital and all those thoughts that were flowing around in his brain Freddie got really tired all over sudden, fell asleep on the chair next to Carly's bedside and let his head slowly rest on the front of the brunette.
