Sam's POV

It's been 48 hours since I last saw Freddie slam the door to Carly's apartment, and I felt like I haven't moved since. Could be true, I mean I hardly ever move. I see Carly pacing around her apartment, with her cell, she doesn't know that Freddie isn't gonna call her. She royally screwed things up with him and Chad if she ever wanted a relationship with him. I shake with the thoughts of how I was frozen while everything was happened, I just couldn't say anything. That's when I decided to make a resolve;

"Spencer!" I yell. He appears from his room, with his hands painted all different colors.

"What's up? Got a word from Freddie?" He asks.

"No." Carly gives me a questioning look, "I need you to drive me somewhere."

"Uhh…are we out of ham?" He asks.

"No…Yeah, no! Come on, please?" I beg.

"Alright, where to?" He asks, wiping his hands on a rag.

"I'll tell you the directions! We'll be back soon Carly!" I usher Spencer out the door, and close it.

"Where are we going?" He asks.

"Hopefully to find Freddork." I say, rubbing my hands together.

"Awesome, let's goooo!" He draws out his 'o's and runs down the hall, I follow quickly. Please, please be there Freddie…


Spencer pulls his motorcycle in front of Monte's house, I sigh, as I run my fingers through my hair to fix it from the helmet, Spencer does the same.

"Where are we?" Spencer asks, looking at the nice house.

"Monte's." I say.

"What? How do you know where he lives?" He asks.

"Long story." I mumble, and run up the walk away, with Spencer behind me. I pound on the door, Mr. Fitzroy answers.

"Hello, Sam, right?" He asks, he knows everything, I can tell.

"Hi, yeah, Sam, is Freddie here?" I look at him with begging eyes. He sighs, and nods. He lets me and Spencer pass, they share their hellos awkwardly.

"Where's is he?" I ask, tapping my foot, I do this when I'm nervous.

"Upstairs, last door, right in front." Mr. Fitzroy motions up the stairs.

"Thank you! Come on, Spence." I smile at him, and race up stairs. I hear music coming from inside. I once again pound on the door.

"We're fine we don't need anything, mom!" I hear Monte say from inside.

"It's me, Sam! Please, let me see Freddie!" I say.

"Go Away!" I hear Freddie say. I sigh, I jiggle the knob, and it's locked. I look down to my beat up converse, and see that I have a bobby pin, I always carry one when in case I need to break into locks. I remove it, and unlock the door in 8 seconds, not my best, but hey. I open the door, to see all the guys and Skilar eyes wide.

"Dude, what the fuck?" Aiden said.

"Freddie!" I hug him, he tenses, and I feel it.

"What are you doing here? Gonna tell me I'm going down a bad road?" He shrugs me off,

"Uh…hi!" Spencer stands in the door way awkwardly. They glare at him, "Can I just say Carly is going crazy?"

"What are you doing here?" Freddie asks. I sigh, I didn't think of anything to say, and I feel a panic rush through me.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for not standing up for you, and Spencer doesn't know anything, Carly tricked him-"
"What?"
"Get over it, anyway-"
"Sam!" Spencer whines, "Tell me!"

"Fine. Freddie isn't going down a bad road, he's just going through a lot, I think, he hasn't been telling me anything, and he hates Dylan Kelp, is kind of like a rivalry between them, I don't know why he chose to beat him up but I think he has a good fucking reason." I take a deep breath. I take a look around and I see everyone staring at me. I chuckle nervously, and I start to shrink back towards the door.

"Carly…lied to me?" Spencer look genuinely hurt, from Carly's words.

"Why do I have the feeling it's not her coming up with these things?" I say,

"Yeah…" Freddie whispers.

"Aw. Poor Spencer!" Skilar says, standing up and giving him a hug.

"Hey! Don't go hugging the enemy!" Chad says.

"Spencer is not the enemy. He's a poor tricked older brother!" Skilar says, still hugging him. Chad growls, standing up and pulling Skilar off.

"Sam?" Freddie calls.

"Yeah?"

"Thanks." He smiles, and I relax. I see on the desk is a map, I see a highlighted route, to L.A.

"Going somewhere?" I ask, tensing up.

"No." Freddie said, standing up, and pulling me out of the room, leaving Spencer.

"Nub? What's going on?" I ask.

"Nothing." He lied. "Nothing at all,"

"Stop lying." I gulp. He sighs.

"Listen, I need to go away for a while. Let Carly and I sometime apart, I told Shane to help you guys out with iCarly." He looks tired, like he hasn't slept for two days.

"Don't leave…me…alone with Carly!" I quickly catch myself from admitting that I don't want him to leave me.

"You and Carly are best friends, you'll be fine." He smiles.

"What about your mom?" I ask, remembering of the crying mess she became when Freddie called her a bitch and slammed the door.

"Oh, yeah. I'll talk to her when I get back, okay. I promise I'll talk to everyone." He puts hands on my shoulders, their warm.

"Tell them the truth?" I ask.

"All of it." Freddie nods.

"What are you gonna do there?" I ask.

"Visit some family, relax by a beach. Have some fun. I'll be back before the end of school, don't worry." He drops his hands from my shoulders, I sigh.

"This is getting out of control, Freddie. I don't want to lose the iCarly trio so quickly." I say.

"Neither do I, I just need some time." I nod, and he smiles.

"Fine, but be safe. If I find out that you fucked yourself up in California, I'll kill you." I point my index finger towards him.

"Yes, ma'm!" He jokes. I laugh, and punch him in the arm.

"No, seriously through." I stare into his eyes.

"I promise, I'll play safe." Frednub said.

"Good." I say.

"I'm gonna miss you, Sam." He mutters.

"Don't act like your never coming back; you know that freaks me out!" I yell, he chuckles. He pulls me into a hug. I wrap my arms around his waist, returning the hug.

"Thank you, for not thinking the same as everyone else." He whispers.

"You're welcome." I whisper back, after that we awkwardly let go of each other, and then we reenter the room. I cough to get Spencer's attention, who was sitting on the ground playing some card game with the guys.

"Come on, Spence. Time to go." I say.

"Aaww. I don't want to." Spencer whines.

"Spencer." I warn.

"Okay." He gets up, but his shoulders are slumped, to show his unhappiness.

"See you later, Freddork." I wave. "Bye, guys."

"Bye!" They all say.

"Bye, Sam." I heard Freddie say.

"What did you talk to Freddie about?" Spencer asked, after we left out of Monte's house.

"Nothing." I lied. "Nothing at all." I hop on the back of his motorcycle, and we head back to the apartment. Now to face Carly…
