When my room was mostly clean, I collapsed on my bed. All that work had really worn me out, it seemed like it took forever. My eyes wandered over to the clock. "It couldn't be 10 already. Did Freddie have that much work tonight?" I snatched up my cell phone and hastily dialed his number.

"Hey it's Freddie. I can't come to the phone right now leave a message, thanks." I groaned. "He probably fell asleep." I assured myself.

Then I had the brilliant idea to go check on him.

I walked down the hall happily with an ideal fantasy in mind. He'd have completely crashed from work and I'd crawl in with him. We'd lie in bed all day.

I was about to walk into his apartment when I faintly heard his voice coming from the apartment across the hall. Carly's apartment. I strained to hear what was being said, but the talking had stopped. Without thinking I reached to open the door. I froze when I saw Carly's mouth pressed on Freddie's, her arms around him, grabbing at his shirt.

"Freddie!" I'd meant to say, but it came out as "Fuck you!"

"Shit!" He jerked away from Carly and turned around to face me.

"God, Sam! No I..." he started to say, but I was already running out the door. I couldn't get away fast enough.

I immediately took to my bed.

"Shit, shit, shit!" I couldn't stop the flow of tears. "This isn't happening." It wasn't long at all before Freddie came crashing into my room, stumbling a little over a pile of laundry I hadn't put away yet.

"Sam! Shit, you came in at a bad time. I know you don't believe me but that really was not what it looked like!"

"Really?" I screamed harshly "Because it sure looked like you were kissing my best friend, who also happens to be the girl you were in love with before you apparently decided to settle for me!" I sniffled. "What's that supposed to be? A coincidence? You can't honestly to expect me to believe that" I shot back

"She kissed me, Sam! I promise, it didn't mean anything...God, she called me when I was leaving work and she said I needed to come over. That there was something important she needed me for." He was becoming frustrated. "She sounded upset. Then when I get there she just starts spouting all of this stuff about how she missed me and how she was so jealous, and Jesus, I didn't know that she was going to kiss me!" He was crying now too, furiously wiping away his tears. "Sam.." he whimpered. It was silent for a while before I looked up at him.

"That's the biggest load of bullshit you've ever told me Freddie. What else have you lied about, huh? Why would Carly all of a sudden decide she wanted to be with you? Is that really all you can come up with? Why don't you just say it? You're not over her."

"I'm not lying, Sam! I have never lied to you about anything. I love you! Why don't you believe me?" He gave up trying to hide the fact he was crying and let the tears stream down his face.

"I finally let myself trust you, and then you mess everything up. You told me to trust you Freddie. Why? So you could sneak around with my best friend without me checking up on you." I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Just go Freddie, I can't take this anymore."

"Sam...I..."

"Just go!" I yelled. And that's what he did, he didn't even look back.
