Simple. I don't need any flames; however, if you are giving constructive criticism, it is much appreciated.
"You're serious? He said that?" Carly asked.
Sam cried harder.
"Oh...Sam..." Carly tried to console her.
"I just...I can't deal with this, Carly. Not with him...I...I-" Sam brought her head to Carly's shoulder and cried more.
"Oh Sam...I've never seen you this upset. Not over anything. You wern't even this upset when Meat's R Us went out of business." Carly rubbed Sam's back inan effort to console her.
Sam cried harder.
"Oh, Sam...I'm sorry you're hurting. What can I do to make it better? Please just tell me! I can't stand seeing you like this."
"Make Freddie straight. Make him love me. Make him not hate me. Then I'll be happy..." Sam cried her eyes out.
Poor Sam. After the incident that morning, Sam turned and ran out of the school, returning to the safe haven that is the Shay's apartment. There was no one home except Spencer, but Sam stayed anyway, lying on the couch crying, not caring who saw.
Poor Spencer had tried to console her and she had screemed at him.
She hadn't seen him since. She assumed that he was giving her some space.
Smart man.
Soon after school had let out, Carly had come home, only to find her best friend in the world lying on her couch, eyes wet.
It was then that Sam told Carly everything. She only said,
"Freddie's gay."
At first, Carly laughed. Then she saw how serious Sam was about it and said,
"No way. Impossible. Where did you hear that?" Carly had asked.
"From Freddie's own mouth." Sam let more tears spill.
And so here she was, crying into Carly's shirt.
"I-C-Carly...I...I love him...he just...I-" Sam's entire body shook as she sobbed.
Carly couldn't believe this.
Her best friend, her toughest, meanest, ham-lovenest best friend was crying in her arms.
Over Freddie.
"Come on, Sam. Let's get you upstairs. How long have you been here?" Carly asked.
"Since this morning. After I heard Freddie and that...skunk-bag..." Sam shuddered. "I just...ran here."
"Wait, what skunk-bag? I don't understand. What did Freddie say EXACTLY?"
"Well..." *sniff* "h-he...he was with Rona."
"Booger Burger?" Carly asked.
"That's the one."
When they were in the 5th grade, Rona had transfered to Ridgeway Elementary. The same day, some kid saw her pick her nose and eat the boogers. Hence, the name "Booger Burger."
"Then what happened?" Carly asked.
"He said...well...admitted...to not wanting to be with her because he's gay! I just..." Sam cried some more.
'I've never seen Sam so upset...' Carly thought.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and a person entered.
"Hey, can I come in? I'm already in, so say yes."
It was none other than Freddie Benson.
