I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year. Mine was okay. I didn't do anything special. I got sick to my stomach so I stayed at home and I didn't go to bed till like 6 in the morning cause I was on the phone with my best friend all night haha.

Okay so this chapter is one of my favorites. You finally get to find out how Jonah fits into the story. If you haven't noticed, he was in several chapters. You also get to see what REALLY happened at the party.

I don't know how you all will feel about this chapter. You might LOVE it but you might not like it at the same time lol.

Okay okay on with the story. :)

iDavid

CH11: A For Effort.

I looked at Freddie curiously and worriedly. What could Jonah possibly say to David about our relationship? Why would he care anyways who I date or not?

"What's going on?" whispered Freddie into my ear. How the hell should I know? I was just as clueless as he was. I wanted to smack him but that was the last thing that was on my mind. Having to cause a scene with Freddie, even if there weren't people around.

"I don't know" I whispered back and shrugged. I didn't want Jonah and David to know I was peeking at them so I just stayed behind the wall with my back against it. So did Freddie.

"Okay Jonah what's wrong?" I heard David say. There was a big sigh afterward.

"Dude, it's been over a month. When are you gonna do what I paid you to do?"

I looked at Freddie again, my eyebrows bunched together. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm sorry Jonah. She's being difficult." David responded. Me difficult? What?

"Look, I paid you A LOT of money to woo Sam and sleep with her. Specifically at the party over a month ago and you failed. I gave you an extension and you still haven't been able to do it."

I was fuming. I wanted to run over to them and punch them both in the face but I wanted to know what else David and Jonah were plotting behind my back. I felt Freddie take my hand for support and I squeezed it in anger. I probably hurt him a little cause I saw him cringe his eyes but he didn't seem to mind.

"I know and you know that I was so close to doing it but that stupid Freddie found me."

"David, what exactly happened that night. All you told me the next day was that you didn't do it. come on man. Details."

"Okay this is what happened." There was a pause then he took a deep breath.

"I tried to get Sam in the mood by dancing with her but she got pissed off. I saw her leaving with Freddie. That's when I initiated plan B. I went after her and we talked for a while. I out the ruffie in her cup and then poured the soda in the cup." There was a laugh.

"Seriously dude, you put a damn ruffie in her drink and you still couldn't get her laid. That's so lame. Okay continue."

"Uh... oh yeah! She began to get dizzy so I took her into a room and that's when I started to you know... do it. I managed to get her undressed and right as I was about to have sex with her, Freddie walked in. He was getting suspicious so I had to pretend I was drunk and I pushed him towards the door. The bastard punched me in the face and I fell. I pretended to pass out so he wouldn't think I was sober and he took her home."

"Epic fail, David. What did you tell Sam when you saw her again?"

"What do you think? I had to lie and tell her that someone must have spiked the drinks from the bar and that I totally forgot what happened after that. She believed me cause she took me back like that." I heard him snap his fingers right after.

"Okay David. This is your last chance. Go with her to the Halloween Bash and then convince her somehow to sleep with you. Make sure your camera is fully charged so we can put it on the web."

"I got it. You never told me why you want me to sleep with her. Not that I mind but there has to be a reason."

"Because. Did you not see what she did to me on iCarly? The bitch wedgie bounced me for over three hours. It took weeks to recover. If she could humiliate me in front of thousands of people on the web, then I will embarrass her online just as worse."

"Okay if you say so. Meet me at my house after school and we will go through details. I have to get back to class. Later."

"Latez" I heard footsteps and I looked again. They were gone.

I couldn't believe it. All this time, I thought he liked me. I thought he cared about me. And to think I was beginning to feel guilty for liking Freddie because I didn't want to hurt David. He was the one hurting me all along. I started breathing heavily and my anger worsened.

"Freddie?" I asked, gritting my teeth. He didn't respond. I could tell he was afraid of what I would do.

"I am going to kill that son of a bitch."

Forget any promise I made with myself to become a better person. I was going to pound his face on the wall and make him regret every single thing he was planning on doing with me.

I sprang and started running, not knowing where David was. I didn't care if I had to run around the school twice. I was going to find David and cut his manhood off. I felt a pair of arms around me from behind, holding me tightly.

"Let go Freddie. I'm going to hurt him." I said, struggling to get out of his grip on me.

"No Sam." That was all he could say.

"Let go" I asked nicely but he still wouldn't budge. I struggled. I punched his arms and kicked him and it was no use. But I'm not one to give up.

"Please" I begged. My voice was getting shaky as I continued to beg.

"I won't let go of you Sam" he still held me tight, trying to avoid me hitting him but the more he held me, the more I was hurting. I wanted to get away from him and just beat David to a pulp.

"Please. Freddie please..." I choked out and for the first time in God knows how long, I broke down.

I stopped struggling and I just hugged Freddie's arms. Tears began to flow down my face. I felt ashamed of myself for thinking anyone would ever care about me like that. I am forever unlovable.

And we just stood there, in the middle of the hall. Freddie behind me with his arms hugging me tightly and my arms hugging his as I cried uncontrollably yet silently.

After several minutes, my tears stopped but I still held Freddie close. I felt his arms unwrap from my body and he grabbed my shoulders, turning me around so I could face him.

"Let's go" he whispered, took my hand, and lead me outside the school. I haven't ditched class since the beginning of the school year but at the moment, I didn't care. I couldn't stand being at school.

We walked, his hand in mine, silently. I couldn't but rewind everything that just happened and play it over and over again in my head. Every single word that David and Jonah said were engraved in my mind. I should have known better. This is why we didn't spend a lot of time together. All this time I thought he just wanted me to keep my life balanced between friends, school, and him. No, he was probably plotting behind my back how he was going to get me laid. This is why David didn't want to go roller skating. Why he was texting and then quickly put his phone away when I came around. Why he tried to dance with me and make out with me.

Then there was Jonah. How dare he try and ruin my life like that? He knows very well why I wedgie bounced him all those years ago. He tried to kiss my best friend of all people. And why would he through all that trouble after so long?

Another thing that bothers me was that he wanted to destroy me in a horrible way. Even I wouldn't do something like that. Taking away a girl's virginity is just wrong. I think you have to really trust someone to give yourself completely and he wanted to take that away from me. He wanted to take away the one thing I could NEVER take back.

Everyone at Ridgeway probably thought I would be like my mom. Loose. But no, not me. I maybe have been vicious and care free before, but I've always had my self respect. And I felt I lost all my self respect when I heard David and Jonah talking.

Me and Freddie were walking along the side of the building when he felt his hand pull mine. We stopped walking and I noticed someone in front of us, drinking from a water fountain. It was David. His eyes were closed so he didn't notice us standing right in front of him.

He descended from the water fountain and wiped away the extra water that was dripping from his chin. He began to walk but stopped immediately when he saw me and Freddie. His eyes fell directly to our intertwined hands. I couldn't move. I didn't want to believe that he was just using me. I just stared at him.

"Um... what is going on?" asked David, not taking his eyes from out joined hands.

A few seconds later, Freddie let go my hand and before I knew it, his fist collided with David's face. He fell to the ground.

"What the hell Benson? What was that for?" I could see the anger in Freddie's eyes. His hands were balled into fists and he had the deadliest glare I've ever seen. Even deadlier than my notorious glares that everyone were so afraid of. He was ready for another punch.

I snapped from my state of shock and before Freddie could do anything, I grabbed David by his collar and I slammed him against the wall.

"Don't you dare touch Freddie, David. I heard you and Jonah talking." I pulled him closer to my face to make my point across.

"You thought you could get me laid and video tape it? I thought you were different. I'm done with you" and with that pushed him to the ground. "You better get out of here before I hurt you. Believe me, that punch Freddie gave you is nothing compared to what I can do to you."

I watched David get up and run away as fast as he could, you could smell his fear from a mile away. I turned to Freddie and hugged him for what seemed like hours.

"Thanks." I whispered and he nodded. We walked away from the school and headed towards the park.

We reached the park about thirty minutes later. We didn't say a word to each other the whole way. It was one of those comfortable silences. I didn't feel like talking anyways. I was so overwhelmed with everything that has happened in only a month and a half.

Who knew your life could completely turn in such a short amount of time?

First, I decided to stop being such a bitch, to be nicer to Freddie, and to start focusing in school. I've managed to successfully accomplish these things. That alone was overwhelming because I didn't think I had the will power to change in such a positive way and grow so close to Fredward.

Second, David happened. I really liked the guy and part of me still does (even if I'm falling for Freddie). I thought he liked me. Hell, he said he loved me. In a matter of seconds, it was all ruined.

And third, my friendship with Carly. We haven't spoken much since Seattle Skate. I decided to let her come to me cause I was sick of always having to initiate conversations with her. Not once has she called.

I felt like my life was falling apart, even with the amazing guy next to me.

Somehow, we ended up at the swings. I was on one swing and he was gently pushing me. We haven't said one word to each other. I gentle breeze on my face was so soothing but not soothing enough. This was the same place me and David had our first date. Of all places.

I saw a woman, probably in her mid twenties with her little boy. He ran towards the man with an ice cream truck and begged his mother for a cone. He looked like he was on top of the world once the cone made it to his hands.

I looked at him with envy. Why does like get so complicated as one gets older. Sometimes I wish I could be just as care free as a child and run around, having the time of my life.

An ice cream cone right in front of my face brought me back to earth. Freddie was holding two cones. One for him and the other for me. I took it and gave him a weak smile. He made his way towards the swing next to me and we ate our ice cream silently. The silence between us began to bother me after so long.

"Freddie?" I looked at him after a few licks. He turned to look at me.

"I don't know how to thank you for everything. I don't deserve a friend like you." With that, my gaze fell to the ice cream cone in front of me. I heard him walk towards me and kneeled down so that we were at eye level.

"Don't say that Sam. No one deserves that." I couldn't help but grin at the words he said. He always knew how to make me feel better but my grin quickly faded.

"I just wish these things didn't happen to me you know? My mom doesn't care about me, Carly and I barely talk, and every guy in my life have severely disappointed me" I somehow regretted the last part because Freddie had this hurt look in his face.

"Every guy... except for you" I tried to redeem myself and it worked.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah." I confirmed. This has been such and emotional draining week, I just wanted to forget all the drama and have some fun. "Hey Freddie?" he looked at me again and I shoved my ice cream cone in his face.

"Hey what was that for?" he asked confused.

"For being such a dork" I smiled and started running. He started laughing and ran after me. I was too fast for him.

After a few minutes, the sprinklers went off and the dirt became mud. Freddie ditched his ice cream and grabbed a handful of mud. He threw it at me and boy did he have good aim. The mud hit the back of my head.

I grabbed some mud and threw some back at him. "Oh it's on Puckett"

We ran around the park like a bunch of little kids hyped up on sugar and it was such a great feeling.

We somehow ended up at the top of the highest hill. Freddie ran towards me and I guess his shoelaces were untied because he managed to trip, grabbing my arms in the process to try and not fall over. He failed.

We rolled down the hill for a minute and somehow, he landed on top of me.

We laughed uncontrollably and a sense of De Ja Vu came over me. We stopped laughing and I was lost in those eyes again. Those beautiful brown eyes that have been lingering in my mind ever since the last time we were in this position.

He didn't move and neither did I. We just looked into each others' eyes. I wondered what he was thinking since I could feel his heart beat go fast. Faster than mine. He slowly started to lean in and I leaned towards him as well. Nothing was holding me back. Our lips met, the sprinklers were on and every drop that fell on my skin felt like a shock of electricity. I've only felt this one in my life and that was when I had my first kiss. Oh wait, Freddie was my first kiss.

Maybe he was that one person. Maybe he's been that person all along. Maybe that's why every single one of my relationships turned out to be complete shit. Maybe that's why all of this happened. To lead me to him. I felt as if I've completed a jigsaw puzzle but only one piece was missing. And that piece was Freddie. I felt complete.

The kiss wasn't hard but it was passionate. It wasn't awkward like our first kiss but we remained still. His lips were just there. They weren't moving, neither were mine and I could still feel the passion go through my body.

My eyes widened quickly. I couldn't do this. I just couldn't. Every single guy I've fallen in like with have let me down and I just experienced the worse heartache I've ever felt. I just couldn't allow myself to be with Freddie and have him break my heart like they all did. History DOES repeat itself after all. If Freddie were to hurt me, I don't know how I could live with the pain.

I quickly pulled away. He had a did I do something wrong look on his face.

"Sam?" he said.

"I'm sorry. I- I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow." I said and I bolted out of the park, leaving him alone.

I ran until I made it back to my room and cried more until I was too tired to care about anything. I fell asleep, hoping I wouldn't have to wake up.

There you have it folks. Sam FINALLY dumped David. I must say, Jonah and David are assholes. So now you know what David's intentions really were. I hope you all aren't so upset about Sam ditching Freddie like that in the end of the chapter. I didn't want her to jump from one relationship to the next in just one day. But no worries, I'm sure you will all like the ending.

BTW, in the last chapter, I somehow made the last line look like David and Jonah were gay and secretly dating. I must say, that would actually make the story a lot MORE interesting but I already had this story mapped out for months before I actually wrote it. I think I will use a gay couple for one of my future stories. I'm a strong believer in equality and I fully support gay couples so I might actually include one in one of my seddie stories.

The next chapter will be very interesting.
