Longer Chapter! (:

~*Freddie's P.O.V*~

Oh god. Was it really true? Do I really love Sam?

No! I DON'T. I like Bridge! BRIDGE BRIDGE BRIDGE.

"Carly…"

"Yeah, what?" She said.

"I think I still got feelings for Sam.. ?" I said. Wow, did I just say that? Stupid Freddie.

"Really? Again? Didn't that Bridge girl ask you to the dance or something? I thought you liked her."

"Yeah I do. I don't know!"

"You're crazy. No offense. Liking two girls at the same time? That's a player right there. And you're Freddie.."

"Ugh! I don't know. Should I just ask Bridge to be my girlfriend so it will at least take my mind off of Sam?"

"Uh, sure I guess. And I don't think Sam has feelings for you anymore. I think she just has family problems."

"Family problems? How do you know that?"

"I don't know. But I think she does. Sometimes her mom abuses her, and you know that already. That's why she spends time with me durh."

"Yeah, sometimes I'm worried about her going home. What if her mom just abuses her or something?"

"No. Remember her mom goes to stupid random guys' house every day? Like, EWW! No offense." Carly said.

"Hmm yeah. You're right. Promise you won't tell Sam about me liking her? Please! I'm begging you." I said. I know she will somehow say it. I just don't know. Sometimes Carly can never keep a secret.

"Yes, I promise! Don't worry!" She said. Hmm. She sounded actually serious, like she won't actually blurt it out to Sam. I guess I was wrong. But let's see.

"Yeah you better." I replied.

"So when are you gonna ask that Bridge girl or whatever her name is?" She asked.

"I don't know. Tomorrow I guess?" I said.

"Yeah, I guess that sounds good. Want some wahoo punch?" She asked me.

"Yeah, sure. Punch me," I said. I always say that when she asks me when I want wahoo punch.

"Here," She said giving me a glass of wahoo punch.

"Oh yeah, by the way I forgot to ask you. What's wrong with Sam?" I felt so worried about her.

"I don't know. She wouldn't wanna talk to me." Wow she wouldn't want to talk to CARLY SHAY?

"Really? But you're like her bestest friend ever."

"Yeah I know. Oh well. I gotta cut her some slack whenever she's in a bad mood. I can't force her to say the things she wouldn't want to admit. That would make me a bad friend."

"Sure. But you deserve to know. She has to admit it to someone. Everyone does that when they're in their situations."

"Yeah true." She said.

"Well, I'ma head out now. Shoot Carls!" I said heading to the door.

"Later!" And with that, I went to my apartment. I was kinda tired. I decided to sleep the rest of the evening. And after all, we got no homework so I'm free.

I'm just so worried about Sam. She's been acting really weird and being so emotional. Though, she was still the aggressive demon I've known… just with a little sensitivity. BUT I DON'T LIKE HER!

I LIKE BRIDGE! BRIDGE BRIDGE BRIDGE!

Sure Fredward. Sure you do.

Shutup.

Don't tell your heart to shutup. You love Sam. It's just that your stupid brain won't admit it.

My brain is not stupid! It's smart. That's how I got good grades!

Mhm. It may be smart to academics, but it is not smart in knowing the truth in you.

Yeah yeah. Whatever.

Such an in denial brain! I swear.

~*Sam's P.O.V*~

It was 7 in the morning and I found Carly sleeping on the floor. Oops.

"Carly wake up! We're gonna be late!" I said throwing a pillow at her.

"Ow!" She said. "Sam, I slept on the floor and you have no idea of how my back is aching right now! Don't you dare hit me with a pillow again!"

I simply ignored her and threw a pillow straight at her face. I wanted to see Freddie, like real bad.

"OW!"

"Get up." I said.

"Okay.." She said.

We all got dressed as fast as we could. It was 7:45 and we were ready to go. Spencer dropped us off at school. I wonder if Freddie was there.

I think Carly just left me, but that's alright. She was pretty popular herself anyways. But we were always number one bestfriends in the entire universe and no one can ever change that. But as what I was saying, I was looking for Freddie. I think I see him.

I look over the lockers and I found him. Oh. Ew. He was with that girl… Bridge. I wonder what they're talking about. They were all alone and it seemed kind of serious. Wow, and Freddie looks kinda nervous.

I decided to move closer. I couldn't hear a single word. And Freddie was looking amazing as ever. I tried to go behind the wall and I can finally hear what they're saying.

"So Bridge, is that a yes or no?" Freddie said. Bridge was smiling crazy.

"Yes! A million times yes! I've been trying to get your attention for the past two months and it finally worked! Gah! I watched you on iCarly a billion times. And I just fell in love right there, instantly! Gah! I'm so happy." She said.

Whu-whu-what? Did Freddie asked her out or something?

"And I'm happy too." He said hugging her. That. Just. Killed. Me.

No. I'm strong Sam. I can't cry. I need to keep my ground. I cannot believe he just asked her out! I am so pissed. I think I'm starting to lose it. Oh gosh no. I can't cry now! Keep it together Sam, you're stronger than that. The bell rang and I headed to class.

I wiped the little tears across my face as I sat down. I drank water so I wouldn't be sniffing too much. Was this really happening? Did he just ask her out? Ouch. A sharp pain went through my chest. I was coughing. Was I crying… but just without tears? C'mon Sam do not cry.

How could this happen? What? Why?

"Sam," Mr. Howard said. "Pay attention! Or else you're getting detention!"

"Okay. Gosh." I said rolling my eyes. I did not want to have detention. Being all sad and depressed in DETENTION? That'll ruin my rep.

I started to "pretend" listen. I guess Mr. Howard was actually falling for it. Hehe.

Finally first period is over. I just wanted to go home. Ugh. I saw Carly near the lockers getting her books. I think I should tell her that I wanted to go home.

"Hey Carly.." I said acting sick.

"You sound sick, you okay?"

"Uh, I don't know but I wanna just go home, and my home."

"Uh.. are you sure? You can stay at my place if you'd like," She sounded worried. I think she's worried I might get abused by my mom.

"Nah, it's okay. I can handle my mom."

"You sure?"

"Very sure. I'ma go now. Just tell teachers that I'm all sick and my mom picked me up and yeah? Okay?" I said.

"Okay. Sure just be careful please!" Carly said. I walked out the doors and onto the streets. My house was not that far from here. And I was still trying not to cry.

20 minutes later, I was finally at home. Hopefully my mom wasn't there. I dropped my school bag to the side and took a deep breath in.

I opened the door slowly, very slowly. And I saw my mom stood right there at the door. Oh no.

"Hey little whore," She said.

"Hey.." I said rolling my eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes on me. Where were you last night?" She sounded really terrifying that I could hear my heartbeat.

"I was at Carly's.."

"Ahh, Carly. Mhm. That little preppy girl. Think she's all that and yeah," She said with a roll on her eyes.

"Whatever. Carly is not 'all that and yeah'. She is amazingly talented and smart. So just shut your mouth because you don't know anything," I said.

I try to head to my room but my mother caught me by the back of shirt and then grabbed me by the collar.

"You're not going anywhere!" She slapped me across the face. I saw her hand coming down. Boom! Another hit. She threw me to the wall and my tears started bursting out. I accidentally knocked down a vase and it dropped right on my leg. My leg started bleeding. Ouch. And the next thing I knew was that I saw my mother attacking me with her belt. Boom! A hit right across my stomach. And then another one. Boom! Ouch this hurt like crazy.

"Mom stop!" I cried. She wouldn't. Why was she doing this to me? Ugh.

"Make me." She kicked me right in the stomach. Oh crap that hurt. And at last, she was done whacking me. "Don't ever leave home without me knowing, or else…" And with that, I ran all the way to my room, limping. I shut the door locked and slid down the door. Then bam! She threw a vase at my door and I could hear it shattered to pieces.

I looked at my leg. Blood everywhere. Ouch. I got the towel and quickly tried to wipe all the blood. There was even blood on my favorite Capri's! Dammit. I loved these.

I quickly grabbed a bottle of water on the tiny table I had and poured it all over my leg. It stings like crazy! But I tried to suck it up. I dried it with my towel and grabbed a bandage. I wrapped it all over my leg. I should've went to Carly's instead. I am getting out of this place for good. I cannot handle any more of this torture! Plus, this place was crappy! I swear it really was. Why would I want to live in a place like this, where there's this horrible monster who's trying to kill me, when I have a chance to live in a place where there's food, people who care about me, and actually has the best people I have ever met? That's it. I'm moving out of here!

I quickly grabbed an empty blue bag. I packed all my clothes that were actually clean. And I brought some of my pictures that are worth keeping. I also brought some papers that were worth memories until one tiny piece of paper fell to the ground. It was folded and it was very small. It has a red heart on it and I couldn't quite remember what it was. So I quickly opened it.

January 3, 2009. When it all began.

-My First Kiss- (:

Oh wow. I suddenly smiled. My very first kiss…with Freddie Benson. The boy who's dating Bridge…

A tear quickly ran across my face but I sucked it up. I folded the paper again to its original place. I put it back in my pocket.

I quickly tried to put all my clothes and fit them into the bag. Oh crap. I forgot my school bag at the door. Crap crap crap.

I was finally done packing all my clothes. I took the blue bag out the window and I tried to climb on. My stupid leg was killing me.

I shut the window and tried to go to the front and get my bag. I was trying very sneakily to go to the front to get it. I was almost there. Yes! I got it. Now to run off and get out of this hell place. I grabbed my bag and the other one as well. I quickly got off to the streets. I am free! Yeah buddy.

Red and blue. That was me and Freddie's colors. We would always wear red and blue. Which made purple. And I was smiling at the fact that I was carrying red and blue bags.

I was at Bushwell Plaza. I went through the door and heard Lubert screaming at me. Man this guy had issues.

"I JUST CLEANED THE FLOOR!" He yelled.

"Shut up!" I snapped back.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG?" He yelled. Why was he even yelling?

"Nothing!" I went to the elevator and quickly went to Shay's apartment. My leg was still killing me. I wonder what time it was. I checked my phone and it was only 12? Ugh. Maybe Spencer will be there.

I opened the door. It was locked? Ugh. So he's not home. Maybe I'll just open it with one of my bobby pins… WTF! I left my bobby pins at home? Gah! I knew I should've wore one this morning! I slammed my fist into the door.

And the other door opened. It was Mrs. Benson.

"Oh the delinquent." She said. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to go to Carly's apartment but it's locked."

"Well Spencer's not here. And I thought you were at school?" She said.

"Well I wasn't feeling good and…"

"And what happened to your leg?" She asked me.

"It's nothing just.."

"Here, get in. I know I don't really like you, but you're one of my son's bestfriends," She said. She didn't like me? What? Oh, but she didn't really like Carly either… hmm.

~*Mrs. Benson*~

Wow. I actually let the delinquent in my apartment. She was a mess! Why did I let her in? Yuck. And she smelled real badly. But I was a bit worried about her leg and I can't let one of my son's bestfriend just stay like that. I had to do something.. at least.

"So what happened?" I asked nicely.

"Just promise me you won't tell anyone!" She pleaded.

"I won't. Now lay back on the couch and put your leg on my lap." I said. She did what I said and I unwrapped the bandage.

"Well it started off with my mom. She just kinda 'abused' me-ish," She said. I kind of felt bad for her.

As I unwrapped the bandage, I saw blood. Wow, this was really bad! I needed to put ointment on this real fast before it gets infected! I quickly ran to get the medicine. I wiped all the blood off and put medicine. Wow the cuts were deep.

"Wow Sam. What did she do to you?"

"She kinda threw me to the wall and I hit a vase."

"Wow. It's okay. But this will take a long time to heal. Probably 3 weeks or so." I said. Now I really felt bad for Sam. She really needed help. I grabbed a new bandage and quickly wrapped it around her nice and neatly. And she sat up.

"Thanks," She said with a smile. She was actually pretty nice. I guess I just misunderstood the delinquent. Or girl. She was actually nice… very nice.

"You're welcome," I said. "You're free to stay here until Carly gets back. Okay?"

"Thanks Mrs. Benson. My leg also feels a lot better."

"You're welcome. And what happened to your face? There are tiny bruise marks!" I said. I was kind of worried about her.

"Uh, my mom kind of slapped me."

"Really? Oh my, Sam. What else did she do?"

"Uh, I think my tummy is a bit unusual too." She said lifting her shirt up a bit. It was red and there was little blood coming out. Her mother is just wow! Now I understand Sam now. I felt so bad for her. I quickly put medicine on it and band-aids over it.

"Thank you so much," She said with a shaky voice. This girl has a ruined life. And I spent how many years of disliking her. Poor Sam. I felt so bad. I went to my room to put away the bandages and medicine. When I went back, I saw Sam sleeping on the couch.

~*Freddie*~

I entered my apartment.

"Oh hey Fredward. School's over?" My mom asked.

"Yeah mom. It was a half-day today remember?" I said.

"Oh yeah I forgot."

I put my bags aside. I saw Sam sleeping on the couch. "What's she doing here?" I asked with a confused look.

"Shh. She's sleeping. She was trying to get into Carly's apartment, but no one was there."

"Wait why is she here though?" I said.

"Her mom abused her and I tried to take care of her leg." My mom said looking in the fridge. "Freddie I'm going to the store to buy some juice. Keep an eye on Sam okay?" She said.

"Uhh.. sure. Okay." And with that my mom left. Me and Sam alone in an apartment together? I thought my mom didn't like her? Ugh.. oh wow.

When the door slammed, Sam opened her eyes. She got up and looked at me directly.

"Hey…" I said awkwardly.

"Hey…" She said the same way as I did.

"So what'd your mom do..?"

"She kinda abused me."

Abused her? Really? Sam was really nice, at some point of times. But I still don't understand why her mom abused her so much. I saw her leg and I pointed at it.

"A vase fell on it." She said. Her voice was shaky and I can see her hands trembling. I sat next to her. I think she was kind of crying.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm okay Dweeb." Well…

"Uh, okay then. Do you need something or anything?" I asked. Even when she was depressed, she still looked beautiful. Wait WHAT! Bridge is my girlfriend now! Ugh, Freddie.

"No, it's okay." She said. But then she burst into tears all of a sudden. This was the first time to see Sam CRY. I know she cried before, but she always told me to leave.

I didn't know what to do. So I just hugged her. She buried her face into my chest and hugged me back. It was just a nice feeling… somehow. I simply just stroked through her beautiful blonde hair. She was crying hard. Really hard. And I just kept saying "It's okay", but it did not work. But at least it was calming her down a bit. And it felt kind of nice to be hugging her.

See, you love her.

I swear, just shut up.

You like? Haha! Chapter 4 will be up very soon.
