I don't know if fanfiction let's people see the at sign so, yeah. Okay, enough about me, let's get on with the Seddie!
Disclaimer: Saying that I will never own iCarly kinda depresses me. So, I don't own iCarly… for now :)
Previously on iPause:
"Now, listen carefully, because I'm only going to say this once." She started, increasing the pressure of her foot slightly. Tommy squirmed uncomfortably. "You will not threaten Carly. You will not talk to Carly. You won't even look at Carly again. 'Cause if you do, you'll have us to deal with." She increased the pressure with every sentence and now Tommy had tears in hears eyes, rolling around in pain under Freddie's hold.
"Got it?" Freddie asked forcefully shaking Tommy violently. Tommy nodded his head furiously and Sam and Freddie retreated. Tommy got up quickly and ran off through the crowd. That's when I noticed the herd of people watching what had happened. Sam and Freddie fist bumped and people burst into applause. They walked over to me smiling and I stared back at them, shocked.
"You okay?" Freddie asked concerned. Sam wore the same expression.
"No." They looked confused.
"I'm not fine," I explained, "I'm perfect." I smiled at them and they grinned at each other and hugged me. How did I manage to get the most awesome friends in the world?
Chapter 8:
Enough
Carly's POV
So it had been a couple weeks since the whole Tommy incident and I was feeling as confident as ever. This was mostly due to the fact that I considered myself to be the luckiest girl alive to have my two best friends. Oh, and that every time Tommy saw me from then on, he got all wide-eyed and quickly walked in the opposite direction. What's even better is that when he saw either Sam or Freddie he'd run away screaming. AND when he saw them together he practically passed out! I had a feeling that I would have no more trouble from Tommy Beckford. But even though everything was fine for me, I couldn't help noticing the change in my two best friends. The euphoria from watching Tommy wet himself at the sight of them had worn off now and still nothing had happened between them. Well, there was that one time…
FLASHBACK!
After getting home from school that day, Sam and Freddie were still laughing at the look on Tommy's face as he ran away from them. I had never seen them so close. I put down my school bag and headed towards the kitchen to pour myself a glass of my homemade lemonade. Sam and Freddie stumbled through the door giggling their heads of and they barely made it to the couch before one of them said, "And remember when he…" and they collapsed in a laughing fit. Seeing Sam and Freddie getting along so well kind of made the whole ordeal worth it. I mean, don't get me wrong, no-one should ever have to put through that, but if Sam and Freddie are happy now and I'm safe then I'm glad. It took them a whole hour to calm down before Sam moaned and started massaging her jaw.
"What's wrong?" I asked, offering her a glass of lemonade. She looked at me, then at the drink before shaking her head as politely as she could. What is wrong with my lemonade? Sam moaned again and continued to massage he jaw.
"My face hurts." She explained leaning back on the couch and resting her head on Freddie's shoulder. I raised my eyebrow at her. She wasn't usually open enough to do that in front of me, even if it is just his shoulder. Sam saw my intrigued look and quickly straightened up. I could have sworn I saw a faint blush in her cheeks. Her sharp movement caused Freddie to look down at her and frown. She waved her hand at him in dismissal and looked at me.
"Why does my face hurt?" she whined, making some unusual faces in an attempt to return her face back to normal. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"It's probably because you couldn't stop laughing." I replied, giggling at her. She blinked at me. Freddie looked pensive, staring in front of him as if he were thinking of something. He hadn't said anything yet. Sam had noticed this and her features shifted from uncomfortable to concern as she scooted closer to him and turned so she could see his face.
"Dude, are you okay?" she asked quietly, frowning slightly. I decided it was time to make myself scarce so I made my way to the top of the stairs and watched their conversation. I felt sneaky, like I shouldn't be there. But I also felt like I had to, like I had to find any sign that would help my friends get together. That's what I kept telling myself anyway.
Freddie didn't respond, it's like he was in his own little world. Sam shook him slightly and Freddie blinked and 'woke up' from his little daydream.
"What?" he asked, confused. Sam laughed and rolled her eyes.
"You were spaced out there." She explained and she laughed, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. She was worried about him. Her eyes gave it away.
"Oh." Was all Freddie said, which caused Sam to drop all pretences and her worried look shone through the others, letting him see what she was thinking. She let her guard down for him. Freddie turned his head to face Sam not realising how close she really was. Sam's chin was resting on Freddie's shoulder now, and the both of them were just looking at each other with barely two inches between the. Come on! I thought at them, Kiss already! I knew that shouting at them in my head wouldn't make a difference but a girl can dream. They were still in the same position, staring at each other as if they were fascinated. Sam smiled slightly and rolled her eyes. Freddie in turn, grinned at Sam and rested his forehead on hers and they both close their eyes. It took everything I had not to squeal in delight at the sight of them. I had to get this on camera. My hands were shaking as I fumbled for my phone. I had already turned off the flash and was about to take the picture when-
"I'm home from the junk yard!" Spencer walked in with his hands full of… stuff. Sam and Freddie jumped apart and ended up on opposite ends of the couch. Thank you Spencer! Your timing is brilliant! I thought sarcastically. I sighed and pocketed my phone on the way down the stairs. Spencer had gone straight into his room and Sam and Freddie looked as awkward as ever. Freddie was about to speak when Sam's phone bleeped loudly, making us all jump.
"I gotta go," she announced, looking at her phone. "My mom got a new bikini…"
I shivered at the thought, as did Freddie, when Sam said her goodbyes and left without another word.
END OF FLASHBACK!
It's been two weeks. TWO WEEKS! And nothing has happened! Everyday they get more and more miserable because they're not together. And they won't get together because they're too stubborn to admit anything. And they're too stubborn because they're too scared of each other. GAH! I can't stand it any longer. I can't stand seeing my best friends like this. Sam's not even eating as much anymore. I offered her ham yesterday and she refused! I almost had a heart attack. And Freddie is just sulking everywhere he goes. Nope. I'm not standing for it. Something has to be done. They are not going to like it but it's the only way. I've got a plan. And it's brilliant…
