IBeat up Sam

"Okay, You did good" Nicole said, pushing Freddie off of her.

"Arrgg" Freddie groaned

"Well I gotta go, its getting late" Freddie looked at the clock, and it was almost 12:00. His mom would kill him if he wasn't back soon, considering he only left her with a note.

"Right. Why is that every time I see you, I'm late for something" He laughed.

She giggled "Later! Same time on Wednesday?"

"I guess, but the place is closed"

"Thats the point" then walked out.

Freddie stayed behind. He could help but feel guilty. He was going behind his friends back, only to beat up one of them. If you think about it, it was ridiculous. His phone rang, as he received a text.

'where have you been? Been trying to reach you all day' It was from Sam...

'Fencing' He lied. Then his phone rang again.

'Didnt no u still fenced'

'Yea well' She didn't reply.

"It want a total lie, I am at the fencing studio" He said to himself, but that didnt make him feel any better about himself.

At Carly's...

"Well?" Carly asked.

"Hes fencing" Sam said

"Fencing?" Carly said with a confused look

"Hes such a liar" Sam said with a smile

"I bet hes with his girlfriend" Carly said, smirking. Sam's face was of utter shock. That had never crossed her mind.

"Yeah right! Like Freddie could get someone like that" She said with a fake laugh.

"Sam, we've talked about this" She said in a way that a mother would tell her child.

They heard the door knock, followed my Freddie entering. " Hey ladies!"

"Hey, how long where you fencing? We've been trying to reach you all day!" Carly complained.

"Sorry Sorry! I lost track of time." He defended

"Well whatever was going on over, must have been interesting" Sam didn't even look at him. "You have no idea" Freddie muttered to himself. Sam's phone started ringing. "Mom?...Yeah I-...Okay okay!" "I gotta go" Sam said running out the door.

"Okay-" The door slammed shut. "Bye" Carly finished.

"Well I'm gonna go, Bye!" Freddie walked out the door, only to see Sam hugging her knee on the floor, crying in front of his door. (A/N: Too specific?)

"Sam? Sam, you okay?" Freddie asked, alittle nervous. He had never seen he rin this state before. It took him aback slightly.

"Do I look okay?" She spat, lifting her head. Her eyes were getting red and puffy, and her tears were falling down her face. Her makeup was running, too. Freddie knelt down to her.

"Whats wrong?" He asked with compassion in his voice. Sam just shook her head. "Was it that call you got from your mom?" Sam started sobbing. Freddie took that as a yes. He put his arm around her.

"It'll be okay. What did she say to you anyway?"

Sam dried her eyes then said, "She told me I was an ungrateful, lazy bitch, and a terrible excuse for a daughter." Her eyes started to fill with tears. Freddie got up then extended his hand to Sam.

"Come on, get up" He said gently. Sam took his hand, still crying.

"I'm sorry, I just...sometimes things she says...it hurts too much." She finally came out with the right words.

"Hey, don't apologize, you have every right to cry" Then she did the unexpected... She jumped into him, wrapping her arm around his neck. She sniffled (A/N: thats a word, right?)

"Thanks" As he held on to her, he felt...something. The atmosphere was just so tender. Sam was so vulnerable, and he, to his surprise, was acting very protective. He rubbed her back, as her remaining tears went through his shirt. Just then, Nicole came down the hall with Freddie's sweatshirt in her hand.

"Hey you left your- Am I interrupting something?" Nicole asked.

Sam push Freddie of immediately, blushing. Freddie was also a bit red in the face.

"You um...left this." She said, handing him his sweatshirt. "Oh"

"Well I'll be going then" She left. Sam was glaring at him. Freddie didn't know what to say. Her could tell her the truth, and he couldn't still say he was fencing.

She walked before he could say anything

I thought I'd add an extra dose of Seddie. I know Sam is alitte OC at some points. Toward the end I was listening to "A heart to hold you" by Keane. It really put me in the mood to write alittel hurt/comfort.
