Sisterly love

Sam and Freddie had been avoiding each other all week. And Carly was getting sick of it, especially Freddie. After the hour long phone call with Carly Monday evening Sam had hardly said anything. She only spoke when spoken to and barely talked while they planned iCarly. Freddie on the other hand didn't shut up. He was constantly giving out about Sam and how she attacked his girlfriend.

"FREDDIE! If you say one more word about Sam and Lauren, I'm going to hurt you like Sam hurt Lauren!"

"Okaaaay, so are we meeting at yours to plan iCarly tonight?"

"Yea sure... and we have to organise what we're going to do next week...I printed the list of bands that will be playing and marked the ones that have agreed to be interviewed" she said. They had spent the last three days calling managers and record labels requesting interviews at the festival.

"Oh cool, So will Sam actually talk tonight?" he asked. She gave him a look and he quickly apologised. Sam had just turned up at her locker.

"Hey Sam!" Carly said. She looked at her and smiled, grabbing her books. "So...we're going to meet at mine tonight to discuss the next iCarly. Ok?"

"Yea ok" she said walking away.

As she left, Lauren approached them. Their eyes met briefly and Sam looked back and saw as Lauren kissed Freddie once. Carly's heart ached as she say the look in her friend's eye, turning her back and almost running to class.

"Hey Carly!" said Lauren. Carly was starting to think Sam had a point, she was too nice.

"Hey! So got any plans for the summer?" school was finished tomorrow and next Wednesday She, Spencer, Freddie and Sam were going to the music festival.

"Oh not yet but it's only the start of summer so...I'm sure we'll think of something to do" she said turning to Freddie. The bell went before they could kiss so she said a quick goodbye and left.

Sam didn't walk home with Carly and Freddie but promised she would be there at 6 to talk about iCarly. She instead went home. She had never spent so much time at home in the one week. And her mom had noticed this too.

"What's the matter honey?" she asked. She was on the line of sober and drunk leaning slightly more to the drunk side. "I'm fine mom...I just wanted to come home is that..."snoring came from the couch and she looked over to see her mother asleep. The phone rang.

"What?" she asked as she answered.

"Sam? Is that you?" it was Melanie, her twin. "What are you doing home?"

"Cause I live hear that's why!" she was getting annoyed.

"What do you want Mel?"

"I always ring on a Thursday to talk to Mom...Is she there or is she asleep?"

"Asleep...look Mel I'm sorry...So how's school?"

"It's fine...How are you? You sound upset" Sam didn't know why but she was suddenly pouring her heart out to her sister. Mel listened patiently until she finished.

"Oh Sam...That's terrible..."

"Yea well...I haven't talked to anyone in days..."

"You really should talk to someone...I just realised something..."

"What?" she waited.

"Your my twin sister and I don't even have your number..." she laughed. Sam did too. It was true. They exchanged numbers quickly. "So are you coming home for the summer?"

"Yea...I'm home tomorrow..."

"Damn...I'm leaving Wednesday...to go to the festival. Well we have a few days i guess"

"Well I could come with...if you wanted me to..."

"Yea...I'd like that. But how will you get in?"

"My friend here has a spare ticket I could buy it off her..."

"Perfect...Thanks Mel..."

"What are sister's for?" They said goodbye and hung up.
