Sam's POV

Freddie had just left and went home. I quickly had a cheese and ham toastie and decided to go over and see Mrs Benson. She was the only one I hadn't seen since I had came home. I took a glass of Sprite too before I left a note for mum and Selena and left the apartment.

It was about seven o'clock at night when I was walking through the street. It wasn't dark so I felt safe. I hated walking in the dark. I don't know why. I just don't feel safe. It's the only thing that does scare me. The dark!

I approached the eight floor of the Bushwell Plaza before I was standing outside Mrs Benson's apartment. I had only been in her apartment once when I was six and Freddie and I used to spend every minute of every day with him. I knocked on the door and a woman in her late forties answered. It was Mrs Benson. She hadn't changed at all but apparently I had.

"Who are you?" said Mrs Benson nicely, even though she had no idea who I was.

"It's me. Sam Puckett."

"Sam!" she said as she gave me a hug, "Come in sweetheart!" she continued as I walked in.

It had changed loads since I had been there last. I sat down on the couch. Mrs Benson brought over some juice and biscuits before sitting down next to me.

"So Sam, how have things been?"

"Good. I'm so glad to be home. It's been great."

"Anything exciting happen over the last couple of days?"

"Well I found Freddie at Groovy Smoothie and then we went and saw Carly and Freddie and I are dating now my life is perfect!"

"Wait you and Freddie are dating?"

"Yeah why? Did you not know?"

"No Freddie didn't tell me I guess with work and everything I hardly see him now. I see Carly more than him. He never comes over here."

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok I guess I miss the company."

"What about Mr Benson?"

"You didn't know?"

"Know what?"

"Sam he died a few years ago. Freddie didn't cope with the death that well. They were really close. That was just before Freddie moved and now we hardly talk. I think that he still is trying to get over his dad's death . It was hard on him and when you moved away too. He really missed you. Carly would tell you. He never talked to her the whole time you were away apart from one last iCarly. He met Spencer once in the shopping centre about a month ago with his wife Abbey and his daughter Holly. Spencer told Freddie that Carly was still living in the apartment and he could drop by anytime but he never did until you came back. That's the best thing that has happened to him in the last few years!"

"Wow I never knew that you and Freddie never talked because before I left you two seemed to get along really well and you were always so protective of him."

"Yes I was and I still am but he needed space. It would have been worse if I was nagging him then he really would never of talked to me. Do you think that you and Freddie could come round and visit me sometime?"

"Yeah sure. I better go it's getting dark!"

"So you're still scared of the dark?"

"Yep."

I walked towards the door as Mrs Benson followed me.

"Bye," I said.

"Bye Sam. Great to see you."

I left Bushwell Plaza. It was really dark. I did get scared as I walked quickly through the small streets where no one was about. I hated the dark and I hated being the only one walking up a street. I walked hurry as fast as I could until there was a bit of a pavement sticking up. I didn't see it and I tripped flat on my face. I was knocked out.

I know this chapter is the shortest one I've done but I thought that was a good place to end it. Please review! Please also check out my blog .
