A/N: I know I made Mrs. Benson seem really mean but that's how some people react to grief and fear. He is her only son and she wants to protect him.

Two Days

It's now Thursday morning. Freddie and Sam were admitted two days ago. Freddie still hasn't woken up and Sam is being released today. Nobody has seen Freddie. His mother has refused anyone other than doctors or nurses entry to his room. Spencer tried to talk to her but she wouldn't hear it.

"What did she say?" Carly asked as he returned. "She wouldn't hear any of it. She said she was protecting her son and all he needed was her. I'm sorry Carl's" he apologised.

"It's ok Spencer. You tried!" she sighed.

"So how's Sam?" he asked nodding to the bed behind her. Carly shook her head. "Same"

Sam hadn't said a word since Mel pushed her to her room two days earlier. She just lay on her side looking away from them staring at the wall. Carly was worried. She wouldn't touch her food either. Mel and their mom had stayed with her at night. They both slept on the chair in her room. Mel had heard her sisters sobs during the night and it was breaking her heart. She had to come up with a plan.

When Carly and Spencer arrived at the hospital that Thursday morning, Mel met them at the door. "Guys hang on. We need to get Sam into Freddie's room!"

"How?" Spencer asked. "I don't know but if Sam eaves the hospital than she's not coming back." They nodded in agreement and then Mel thought of something.

"Has Mrs. Benson been home yet?" She asked.

"Um... No. She usually goes around noon...why?" Carly asked. Mrs. Benson had left Freddie only twice since he came in to have a shower and change her clothes. She left at noon because the traffic was light and she could be back within an hour.

"Spencer, stay here. Ring me when she leaves..." She looked at the clock over the door. It read 11.50. "Carly come on..."

"Wait what are we doing?" But she was being pulled by Mel into the elevator. Shooting Spencer a confused look the doors closed. "What's your plan?" Mel explained and Carly squealed. "That's genius" The doors opened and they walked to Sam's bed. She was sitting up, holding her hands and her head down.

"Hey Sam?" Carly said as they walked towards her. She looked up and gave a weak smile before letting her head fall. Mel was explaining her plan to her mother. She thought she would disapprove of it but she smiled. They sat in Sam's room for 3 minutes before Spencer rang.

"Ok...Thanks Spencer...Call when she's back." Then Sara picking up on Mel's line turned to Sam.

"Come on honey time to go." Sam looked up and slid off the bed into a wheel chair. She was still weak from the fall. She knew when you left the ward you went right to the elevators. But it surprised her when Mel went left.

"uh... Mel?" he voice weak from having not spoken in 48 hours.

"Oh, the elevators not working, we have to take the far one at the other end." She replied. She knew Freddie's room was the floor below. Sam shrugged. They stepped into the far elevator and pushed the button. They waited the one floor and stepped out onto level 2.

"Hang on...Where are we..." She looked at the sign over the door. Jacobs Ward. She recognised the name from Spencer when he told them where Freddie was. "No! Turn around and take me back"

"Sam you miss him, and he needs you..."Mel said still pushing her towards the ward.

"No he needs me out of his life for good...Stop Mel...STOP!" She yelled. Mel did. Causing Sam to lurch forward. Righting herself she turned to her.

"What are you doing? I don't want to be here! Take me home" But Carly stepped in.

"Sam you need Freddie and he needs you! Why are you being so difficult?"

"Because he's never going to want to talk to me...I'm the reason he's here...He hates me"

"No Sam he loves you...and right behind that door" Mel said pointing to her left, Sam right. She turned and looked at the door. Swallowing hard she looked away.

"No...I can't..." Mel bent to her level. "Sam you can do this...I know how much being away from him has hurt you"

Sam held eye contact for a moment before dropping it and looking at the door. She nodded. Not waiting incase she changed her mind Mel opened the door and pushed her in. She walked Sam to the bed and left closing the door after them.
