Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly ect. I do however own the idea of this particular story and… that's about it.
Anyway here is chapter 6
Chapter 6: Confessions
Freddie's POV
Carly was sitting on my bed watching me as I tried to find the cure. Maybe since it was in chocolate it will help if it is in something gross… nah I don't want to make Carly eat something gross.
"Freddie." I loved the way my name sounded coming from her lips. I wish I could tell her how I feel, but it will have to wait. Even if after the chocolate love is gone, she won't love me.
"Yeah?"
"Uh, never mind." She looked at the floor and the wall and the ceiling, anywhere but at me. She had done this three times already, but I was being patient. When she got the courage to say what she wanted to say then she will do it… in her own time.
I picked up the formula for the chocolates. What needed to be changed here?
"I don't want you to make an antidote!" Carly blurted out interrupting the silence causing me to jump, and then I registered what she said.
"W-w-what?" I turned to look at her and this time she looked me straight in the eyes hence the stuttering. She took a deep breath.
"I don't want you to make an antidote."
Carly's POV
I waited for Freddy to say something. He doesn't love you anymore, just let him make the antidote and you can hide your feelings for him again. Maybe the antidote will cure your real feelings. But I don't want to hide my feelings anymore, I want to tell him, I want him to know whether he loves me or not. Arguing in my head helped distract me from the fact that Freddie wasn't saying anything and more than likely he is disgusted that I would even suggest such a thing. Finally he opened his mouth.
"Why?" he whispered so quietly. Am I mistaking or was there a little hope in his voice?
"Because… because I love you." Freddie shook his head. I knew it, he's disgusted by it. I almost started to cry.
"You're just saying that because of the chocolate." Now it was my turn to shake my head.
"No. That's just what you think. I love you, I loved you before the chocolate." I took a deep breath. "I was going to tell you one day, but you told me you were over me so then it was my turn to get over you. I hid my feelings for you and I thought they were gone and then they ate the chocolate and they're back but it was never gone I just lied to myself and said it was. I'm tired of hiding how I feel and I know you don't love me but I had to tell you. And I don't want to take the antidote because it won't make a difference." Freddie sat there not moving during this whole speech and now I really did start crying.
Freddie's POV
I stood up and sat next to Carly on the bed. She wouldn't look at me anymore so I gently put my hand on her cheek and led her face to look at me. I wiped away her tears with my thumb. Inside I was shaking, it wasn't intimate but it was more than a friendly gesture between us.
"Hey, hey don't cry." I whispered. "Why are you crying, what's the matter?"
"I know how you used to feel. I love you but you don't love me back." She blinked away her tears and sat a little straighter.
"Well I guess it's my turn for a confession." I still had her face in my hands and she tilted her head to the side. She looked so adorable.
"I lied… I always loved you, I never stopped."
So that's it for this chapter, don't worry there is more… and in case you were wondering I will let you know what happens to Gibby.
