At school, Freddie usually walked through the halls and class to class holding Carly's hand.
Today he just walked alone.
He missed Sam.
He missed having her in his life.
Why did he go and screw it up?
He was on his way to Mrs. Briggs class.
Instead, he stopped and started walking towards the back entrance to the school.
She's with Rubin now, that I'll never know why...
her show is top rated on the web, and have great reviews on Nevelocity.
Last I heard her mom got out of rehab and won a local lottery.
Sam's life was fine.
His was different.
He had Carly sure.
But his mom got into an accident, causing her to be in a coma in the hospital. He never told anyone this. It happen a week ago on Sam's birthday.
He was living with his aunt who moved into the apartment.
Icarly is Crashing and has had horrible reviews for Nevelocity.
And they were running low on money.
What else could go wrong?
Sam held Rubin's hand as they left the school after lunch.
"Where are we going?" She asked as she got in the car.
"Somewhere." He said getting in the back seat next to her.
The driver took off. Around past the school.
Freddy opened the back doors and saw the gazebo.
He walked over to it and sat down.
He hated his life right now.
He saw Sam and Rubin in a car going away from the school. It was the middle of the day?
Oh, right Rubin was rich, he could do whatever Sam wanted.
He sighed.
It was all his fault.
If he didn't listen to Carly, If he didn't start that stupid admirer thing, if he didn't go out with her.
This wouldn't have happened.
"I can't believe it!" Sam said.
"Yep."
"Wow." Sam said. "Skipping class to eat!"
"Didn't you do this all the time?"
"Yes but now I can without getting in trouble!"
Rubin laughed.
Freddie say there looking down as it started to rain.
There was nothing he could do.
For now at leased.
"Thanks Rubin."
"No problem."
"I love you."
"I love you to."
"can you drive me home?"
"Again No problem. Let's go."
Sam smiled and got into the car again.
Freddie walked in the rain to Sam's house.
When he got there he figured she wasn't home yet.
So he walked up to her door and sat down.
His clothes were wet and probably making a lake in the hallway wight now.
But he sat there and shut his eyes.
Waiting for Sam.
Any probably,
Rubin.
Sam got out of the car into the rain.
"Sam do you want me to stay with you?"
"Yeah my mom is gone for a few days."
Rubin then got out of the car too.
He took his jacket off on put it above him and Sam.
"Thanks." She said as they stepped under the roof of the building.
Freddie heard footsteps coming from around the corner.
He stood up and put his hood down, then waited.
He just had to see her.
He had nothing to talk about with her, but he just wanted to see her happy, and the only times she is happy, is with Rubin.
Sam was laughing with Rubin as they walked down the hall.
They turned the corner.
The hallway was wet, and someone was standing there.
Freddie.
"Please leave." Sam said.
"I don't want to."
"I said please Freddie, leave."
"Sense when are you so polite?"
"A few months ago, you weren't there."
Freddie looked to Sam's right.
Rubin, smiling.
"Fine," Freddie said "Make me."
"Well how do I make you I said please, why can't you just leave."
Freddie couldn't believe it. Who is this person!?
"Who are you?"
"Sam."
"Are you sure your not Melonie?"
Sam nodded.
Freddie turned to Rubin, than back to Sam.
He looked at what Sam was wearing.
Faded light blue jeans, no holes which is a shock for Sam, and a pink blouse. She was wearing a gold necklace with the word Sam written on it.
It was the locket he gave her.
She was also wearing plain white tennis shoes.
"Are you sure Sam? You don't look like you, your acting really weird, your polite, do you eat anymore."
"Well I'm sure I'm Sam, and I'm on a diet, no fast food, no junk. And I'm a vegetarian now."
Freddie's mouth dropped.
"Your not Sam."
"Yes I am, I'm just different now. I'm doing better."
"No Sam your not you, your what he wants you to be."
Rubin was still smiling.
"Freddie he's not in control of me I'm in control of me."
"You wouldn't be like this if you were."
Sam looked at the pink and gold stripped watch she had on her arm.
She hates stripes.
"Rubin it's 9, I've got to go, curfew."
"Sam you never have a curfew your Sam! You should be going to a store right now to buy meat because your hungry."
"Well I need to get to bed early so I can wake up early. I don't want to miss school."
"Sam this is insane."
"Goodnight Freddie, Rubin."
She gave Rubin a kiss and Freddie a hug before going through her soon.
Freddie turned to Rubin.
"I know it's you."
"You are smart."
"Why?"
Rubin looked at Sam's closed door.
"not here."
"Then let's go."
Rubin nodded and walked back down the hallway.
