A/N: Only a few more chapters left! Don't hate me if I don't update super quickly, since I just moved back to my dorm at school and have a crap-ton of stuff to do before classes start on Monday. But I hope you like it. Also, I've decided between Cibby and Barly for this story, but it's not necessarily what I think will happen on the show. It'll be in the next chapter. Just fyi.

Disclaimer: iCarly's still not mine, but I want Dan Schneider's bunny, Cupcake! Soooooooo cute! :D

Freddie's POV

I gave Sam a couple of days to calm down, and Carly agreed it was the right thing to do. Sam didn't come to school on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday after the dreaded Monday From Hell, but everyone still commented and asked questions. Even after I told them why she wasn't at school and how annoyed she was at everyone, they were still incredibly nosy. Honestly, sometimes people just don't have any manners.

I hadn't even seen her at any iCarly rehearsals because she didn't go, either to avoid me or because she doesn't want to do iCarly that week after what happened the week before. But I knew I had to make a move. She couldn't avoid this conversation forever. She's my girlfriend, and I need to let her know that I'm not letting her go that easily.

Carly helped me set it up. She texted Sam after school asking if she wanted to go to Build-a-Bra to lift her spirits, and when Sam agreed, Carly told her to come to the apartment and they'd leave from there.

Carly texted me once Sam was there and situated, but I didn't really need her to tell me; I had been waiting by my front door, looking through my peephole for her to turn the corner and go into the Shays' apartment. When she finally did, I saw her give a sad glance to my door before going in. No need to be sad, my dear. We'll be back together soon enough.

I quickly examined myself in the mirror, making sure I was presentable. I must really like this girl if I was making this big of a deal about what I looked like. I took a deep breath, let it out, and crossed the hallway to Carly's place. I knocked briefly, then let myself in. Carly was standing in the kitchen behind the counter, while Sam sat in the seat next to the computer. Carly smiled and said hi to me, causing Sam to turn and look at me. Her already sad face fell even more when she saw it was me. She quickly turned and looked back towards the kitchen, hoping I wouldn't take note of her. I hated seeing her in this much pain, but it'd all be over soon.

I grinned and said, "Hola, muchachas," using the random Spanish that Sam loved ever so much. I strutted over, and kissed Sam flat on the mouth. Not passionately, but the way someone would greet their significant other. I could feel her tense up and kiss back ever so slightly. I pulled back and went to the refrigerator as if I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary. "Can I grab some Peppy Cola?" I asked Carly, still ignoring Sam's shocked look.

"Yeah, sure," Carly responded happily, also paying no attention to Sam's expression. Finally, Sam cleared her throat.

"What on earth was that?" she asked, confused beyond belief.

I went back over to the counter and looked at her, pretending not to understand. "You're my girlfriend. Why wouldn't I kiss you hello?" I opened my soda and went to the couch, where I set my drink down on the coffee table.

Sam stood up abruptly and looked at me. "Excuse me? We broke up! Have you forgotten? You can't just kiss me like that!"

I smiled and shoved my hands in my pocket. And now for my speech… "Yeah, about that… I decided we're not broken up."

"What?" she shrieked, folding her arms angrily. "Yes, we are! I ended it the other day. You can't just decide on your own that we're suddenly back together."

"Well, you see, I realized that you don't have a real reason to break up with me," I replied nonchalantly and shrugged.

"Besides the fact that people are pains who won't let us be happy together?"

"Yeah, that's not a good enough reason. If they aren't happy with it, then it's a problem with them as people, not a problem with us as a couple." I smiled proudly.

Sam's mouth dropped. She suddenly snapped, "We're not getting back together!"

"Yes we are," I said quietly. I walked up to her, and she looked like she wanted to walk backwards to avoid me, but she didn't. She stood her ground like the strong girl I love. "We want to be together. That should be enough of a reason to be together and stay together."

She looked reluctant to continue saying no. "I don't want to be in a relationship that nobody respects or likes. The kids at school don't like it, the Creddie shippers don't like it, the Seddie shippers are just obnoxious about it, your mom definitely won't like it because I have to be a good influence and we all know I'm not-"

"I don't care about all that!" I say loudly so she'll have to listen. "I don't care what other people think. I'm happy with you, and you know that when it's just the two of us, or if we're just with our friends, you're happy to be with me too! We are meant to be together. Ever since we were younger, it was written in the cards. Our hatred would grow into something more, and it finally happened, and I'm not going to let you just throw it away! Not when we are so perfect together!"

She put a sad look on her face. "It's not fair! I want to hate you, but you're standing there and looking at me and you look perfect and I can't help but want to kiss you!"

I grabbed her by the waist and crushed my lips to hers, and this time she didn't hesitate to kiss me back. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I heard Carly give a quiet 'awww' from behind us. We pulled away and leaned our foreheads against each other.

"I hate you," she whispered to me.

"I hate you too," I whispered back. She giggled and I kissed her again.
