Sorry for the long wait, had a lot of homework. Thanks for the reviews and enjoy!

FREDDIE's POV

The next morning.

It was 7 am. I couldn't sleep at all last night. I had nightmares about my dad and Sam. Also, the images of the party came in my head over and over again. Yeah, I had pretty much a shitty night. But what also couldn't go away out of my head is what my mom said. How the hell can my dad be a friend of hers? Does my mom know hers? Are they friends? Or were they friends to begin with? Why did she tell me this now? God, so many questions. I'm so confused. I've been spending 6 years hating this girl, blaming her. Dad would be so disappointed in me, even though I did this for him. I've got to talk to my mom. I am going to tell her what I did to Sam and it is not going to be pretty.

I went to the kitchen to get some breakfast, and answers. I saw my mom cooking some eggs.

"Morning, hun. Want breakfast?"

"Yeah, thanks mom. But, come eat with me. It is a Saturday morning and I want to talk. I've got a lot of questions. You made me confused as hell last night."

"Language!"

"Sorry. But you know what I mean."

"Okay, Freddie. Why are you so surprised about finding out that your dad and Sam's were best friends?"

"Uh, cause me and Sam sure aren't! And you never told me!"

"I didn't have to tell you because you knew her father. His name was Younes. You were like 3 years old when you met Sam. You guys were also best friends. You used to play with each other. Our family and hers, we had a great connection."

"Me and her friends? Yeah, that never happened!"

"Oh, it did. You just don't remember. After all, they died 2 years later. We still connected but then it died after that. I see Sam and Pam now and then, but we never had a reunion."

"Mom… I cannot believe that I can't remember all of this. A child has to remember his best friend. Especially if you see him every day at school."

"Yeah, but Freddie. Your connection with your dad was special. When you were 6 and he died, you weren't yourself anymore. You didn't play with your friends, you left Sam out and you stayed in your room."

"The part when I shut everyone out, that I remember, but the Sam part not."

"Well, when they found out who were the ones who caused it, everyone assumed that they were Muslims. They started hating them. They had a pretty rough year."

"But when did I start to hate them? To hate Sam?"

"When you were about 11 or 12 years old. You read old newspaper articles. And Sam became your witness. But after a year you stopped so it is okay now, hun."

"Yeah…Mom, dad and Younes worked together I assume?"

"Yeah."

"Why are you telling me this now?"

"Cause now, you're old enough to understand that Sam isn't the one to blame for your dad's death. No one is."

"About Sam. Mom, I did something horrible to her. I've been doing things to her for the past 6 years now. And don't get mad! This is just because I thought it was her fault!"

"Freddie! The poor girl has enough to deal with. You're going to tell me everything bit by bit. How naïf I was to believe you stopped harassing her!"

I looked down, feeling guilty. I looked at her again and told her everything. What I did to her since I was 12 till last night.

"I cannot believe you did all of that stuff. Now she has a problem trusting people. Does her mom know?"

"I don't think so."

"I am very disappointed in you Fredward."

"I know. Dad is too."

"Yeah, he is."

"Mom…Why do I feel guilty? Why do I have nightmares now and not years ago?"

"Because you saw her true fear. You looked into her eyes and saw how terrified she was of you. First you thought it was great to have that feeling. The feeling of power. But Freddie, at the end of the day you put her down. You make her more scared of you. And it also isn't you to stab someone. You're not that type of person. You're softer. You were like that all those years because you were blinded by hate and depression. You missed your dad so much and you hated the world that you didn't know the differences between right and wrong. Fix things with her Freddie. And also with your friends. They even thought you were out of line."

"I will mom, thanks. But I don't think that Sam remembers that we were once best friends."

"Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. Some things may surprise you Freddie."

I know, short. No Sam in here. But at least you all know a little bit of history and the connection between Freddie and Marissa Reviews make me happy
