I have a confession to make before you read this story. I got very discouraged by reading something about Dan S. actually being more of a Seddie fan, knowing that he didn't write the script for "iSaved Your Life" and other Creddie episodes. I even thought about stopping the story completely and not writing again. Then I got a few reviews and the story count of people reading went up a lot and my readers/reviewers are keeping me inspired. He may be a Seddie fan, but there's always hope, right? So here's another chapter and I will keep writing! Thank you for your support! –Amy
I don't own iCarly still and if I did, Seddie would not be a part of it. Sorry fans of Seddie but it's just not right.
Carly went out the next day with Spencer to check out the college that she had originally planned to go to. She remembered applying to it with Freddie early senior year, hoping that she'd get to go with her boyfriend. Carly smiled to herself thinking about it, as Spencer talked about how easy it would be just to transfer. She knew that she agreed with him, but was still a little hesitant of how much she really wanted to go. Earlier that morning, her dad had left to go back to Europe but not before telling her to listen to what her heart was saying because logic doesn't always make sense.
After all of the tours of the college and all the papers to sign, Carly had finally decided to transfer. She texted Sam to meet her at the Groovy Smoothies while Spencer went home to work on his latest sculpture.
"Sam!" She exclaimed when she saw her best friend and hugged her tightly.
"So did you transfer? Please say yes. I'm tired of trying to convince people of what to do."
"What are you talking about? Who else have you tried to convince?"
"Umm…" Sam didn't want to admit that she spent the last hour telling Freddie to call Carly. "No one. Forget I said anything. So did you transfer?"
"Yes actually I did. And yes, I know you're lying, so spill."
"EEK! Oh my gosh you're transferring! That's awesome!"
"Sam, spill. NOW!" Carly looked her friend in the eye with a very straight face, trying to convince Sam that she had no choice but to tell her everything. Sam sighed and told Carly everything.
"I spent the last hour with our friend Freddie. I told him to call you."
"Why would you do that? Maybe I don't want to talk to him right now…"
"Are you kidding? Please say you are. You guys are like meant for each other. Do you not see that? It's plain as day that he's still in love with you."
"He is?"
"Yeah! And imagine how great iCarly will be now. We can get the web show going again and everything will be back to normal once I convince you two to get back together and—"
Carly put a finger to Sam's mouth, telling her to shut up. Then Carly sat down at the nearest table, putting her face in her hands. This could not be happening, not so quickly anyway. She wasn't even sure about the web show re-starting in the first place. It really hadn't crossed her mind and now Sam was going on about how normal things would be. But she knew better. Sam should know better, Carly thought.
"What's wrong Carly?" Sam sat down next to her, looking curiously at her best friend.
"Look, I'm not sure that I am ready for iCarly. I'm not even sure I want to talk to Freddie right now. I know this sounds stupid, but I'm still adjusting to all of this and I'm not sure I'm ready for this much change in this much time. I'm just not ready Sam." Sam put her arm around Carly and hugged her tightly. Carly almost started crying then T-Bo came up to her and asked if they wanted a hot dog on a stick. Carly shook her head and walked out of the restaurant with Sam following right behind her.
"You know you can't keep running away Carly. Nothing will be easier if you keep doing that." Sam yelled as Carly ran away from her. Sam didn't chase after her, knowing that Carly will need her space for a little bit.
Carly went home, not saying a word to Spencer and locked herself in her room. She turned up some music in her room and pulled out a scrapbook from her drawer. It was filled with iCarly pictures and other random ones, including a whole page just with Freddie. She kissed one of the pictures gently and took it to bed with her. Then a very old song came on, one that she had listened to before that had made her realize her feelings for Freddie were more than friendship in sophomore year.
I know rocks turn to sand, and hearts can change hands. And you're not to blame when the sky fills with rain. But if we stay or walk away, there's one thing that's true. I still love you.
That did it for Carly. She needed to see Freddie again and soon. But she felt sleepy and decided to do it tomorrow. Carly fell asleep in her bed holding Freddie's picture as tears fell down her cheek.
The song is "I still love you" by Alexz Johnson.
Review please! Your reviews inspire me to keep writing this story.
