Sorry I've taken so long! Been uber busy!
Who loved iLost My Mind? I DID! :D it was hilarious, sweet and everyone's favourite seddie fan was back. Who could've asked for more?
Also well done to Channylover08 who correctly said that "Catarina" is from taming of the shrew. Go you! Keep guessing where Jared's from! (Here's a clue "we were the kings and queens of promise") And to Priincess Starlight and PurpleFlower17- how can you read my mind like that? :S
Well anyway, here's a nicer, more light-hearted chapter for you just like I promised. Enjoy bg.97 x
(Spencer's POV)
I can't believe my little sister is going off to college. To study law and political science of all things! Oh I'll miss her so much and I know I won't be the only one. There'll be Sam, Freddie, Gibby and Brad who'll miss her just as much.
Oh no! Who am I supposed to get to pull me off of things I get stuck to? Or put out the fires I somehow randomly create? Or make breakfast when I oversleep? Oh wait, I'm married now. Amy will just do all of that stuff for me. I calm down now.
I still worry for her friends though. I don't think any of them are really ready to grow up just yet. First there's Sam and Freddie. They are perfectly in love so when Sam came home one day and said that she was taking a gap year, Freddie said the same. Then there is crazy old Gibby who's going to college in Nebraska to study Psychology- who knew right? Finally there's Brad, Carly's newest friend, without whom Sam may never have admitted her feelings for Freddie. Well anyway, Brad is going to a culinary school all the way in France! He said we can visit whenever we want and I think that Amy and I may have to take up on that offer…
Oh My Gosh, the cab is here to take her. I promised I wouldn't cry, promised I wouldn't cry…
Too late now.
"Well this is it," Carly says, smiling at all of us, even though we are stood there with weepy eyes. "See you at Thanksgiving."
We each take our turn to hug her and give our goodbyes. Like she said, this is it. She's becoming a…a… a… damn it, I can't say she's becoming a woman! Oh look, I just said it. Well actually I thought it. Okay then. Moving on.
After Carly left, Brad and Gibby said their goodbyes too and left to catch their flights. Amy also left too to go meet up with some friends from work so now it's just me, Freddie and Sam left in the apartment. To hide from the awkwardness that had just been created, I tell them I'm going for a nap and then head to my bedroom.
Don't think for one minute that I'm actually going to sleep! I grab a stool and sit next to the door so I can hear everything that's going on. I'm not some kind of freaky pervert, I just want to make sure they don't have sex on my couch- me and Amy did that before- or on my kitchen floor (HIMYM reference :P) I pick up the glass on my bedside table and push it against the door so I can hear better.
Oh Crap, they're making out! Just like at my wedding! Seriously, it's so damn awkward when you have to kick one of your ring-bearers out of your wedding for flirting during the ceremony. It's even more awkward when you find him sucking his girlfriend's face off in a supply closet at the reception venue!
Oh, gosh, they are really going for it! Well they must be if I can hear their spit swapping from all the way over here! Ugh- I've known these guys since they were little kids. Sam is practically a second baby sister to me. This disturbs me in ways you can't understand. Oh wait! It sounds like they've stopped.
"There's something I've been meaning to ask you," I hear Freddie say.
"What?" I can hear the curiosity in her voice. Then I hear Sam gasp. What happened? What did he ask her? Why didn't I hear him say anything?
"We're 18 Freddie. Your mum hates me. There is no way in hell that we can pull it off. How are you expecting to pay for a wedding?"
Holy Chizz! A wedding! Freddie pulled out a ring and proposed. I sure wasn't expecting that when I awoke from my hazy slumber this morning. Then Freddie completely throws me off the horse's saddle with the stuff that comes out of his mouth next.
"Who says anyone has to know? I'm not suggesting a big, fancy, white wedding. To be honest, I'm not even sure you can class this as a wedding proposal."
"You got down on one knee and pulled out a ring, Freddie. If it's not a wedding proposal, what the hell is it?"
"An elopement proposal. Think about it Sam. You, Me, running away and getting married at a little chapel in Vegas. We can travel the world together!"
I hear footsteps walking towards the front door.
"Benson, you're completely insane!"
"Yes, I am, But so are you! It's why we're so perfect for each other! You mean everything to me. Please, I really want to do this with you."
There's a moment of silence.
"Are you really serious about this?" why does she sound as if she's considering it?
"Dead Serious."
Once more, there is a moment of hesitation. And then,
"Let's do it." What? Why did she say that? They can't elope, they're kids! Maybe this is all a big prank because they know I'm eavesdropping. I rush out of my room and into the loft, where I find Sam engulfed in Freddie's arms, being spun around. No, they can't be so happy about this! Then they see me and smile even more.
"You guys are gonna elope. Are you serious about this?" I ask them.
They've given me the brief. I'm not to tell anyone where they've gone or why. To the rest of the world, Sam and Freddie have just gone "travelling." They'll keep me updated on how they are, but I'm the only one who'll know the truth. I sit on the couch now, awaiting an answer to my last question. I'm praying they'll say no. That they'll tell me it's all just a big joke. But then they say the two most painfully honest, heart- wrenching words, I'll ever hear.
"Dead Serious."
Well that was chapter 5. Hope you liked it b3ecause it's probably my favourite so far. I've always found the idea of eloping so Daring and romantic! Hope you did too :) Please review- bg.97 x
