I'm Going Home

Chapter 6

A/N Freddie's POV

As much as I didn't want to, I had to break the kiss. I had to have an answer the burning question in the back of my head.

"Carly… I… Why?"

"Why what Freddie?" Carly asks, still in a daze from the kiss.

"Why now, I mean, what changed? You never liked me before and…."

"Freddie… I..I I've always loved you, but I never told you." Carly says. Tears start to fall from her eyes.

Freddie pulls her in for a tight hug.

"Why didn't you? You know I've always loved you."

"I know," Carly sobs, "but at first I thought it just might be our hormones or a crush, but then after our Girls' Choice Dance at the Groovy Smoothie, I really started to think we were meant to be. But I still didn't want to tell you."

It was Freddie's turn to speak, "So you have liked me all this time," Freddie put Carly at arms length and smirked at her, "I always knew we were something special."

Carly smiled and finally stopped crying. "Then, after you saved my life, everything I said was true. I was flattered by your heroism and protectiveness for me, and I decided to tell you then and there because I didn't want to face losing you ever again!" Carly smiled, but her eyes said it all for Freddie.

"I was such an idiot for letting you go!" Freddie stated, obviously very annoyed with himself.

"No you weren't! I made the mistake. I should NEVER had told you then, because in a normal circumstance you would have been right. But it wasn't normal by any circumstance. I planned on telling you that I loved you again, but then you started dating Tasha, and I was crushed." Carly's smile faded.

"It was my mistake to date Tasha, but that doesn't mean I would ever stop loving you! I was trying to find someone to fill the void of where I had saved for you. But after our years of being together, I realized that no one could ever fill that gap. I was going to tell you the next time I talked to you, but you didn't call again."

"I was actually on my flight back here, I'm sorry I wanted you to be surprised."

"Carly, it's okay. You're here, and Iwant you to stay with me, forever. I love you, Carly Shay." Freddie gave her his signature smile again with his last comment. It melted Carly away.

"And I love you Freddie, I always will." Carly gave her famous melting smile to Freddie, and it worked like a charm. Freddie could feel his knees start to buckle.

Carly leaned in, and shared the best kiss she ever gave anyone to Freddie, and Freddie knew he would remember this for the rest of his life.

A/N This story is finished, but if everyone thinks I should, I'll write a couple chapter sequel about after this point. Review and answer! Matt
