iTurn Back in Time

Chapter 6 : iHandcuff


"Handcuffs? You're using this on Sam? What, are you tired of living!"


"Freddie? FREDDIE!"

Someone was shaking me. I opened my eyes gently. When my eyesight became clearer, I saw Carly's face really near to mine. I immediately looked away because I can feel my cheeks burning. If I hadn't turned away, we could have kissed because of the nearness of our faces. And no, I didn't want that. I admit that I wanted to before, but everything's different since time had passed-in my world.

"Ouch." I flinched in pain. My head hurt and spinning at the same time. I looked at the room and saw Spencer, Carly and Sam.

Wait...Sam?

I stared at her, wide eyed. As soon as I saw her, the world was on a halt. The world stopped spinning.

I felt a sudden rush of mixed emotions flow all over my body, like a bolt of lightning had just struck me, like the angry wind blew its most powerful force on me, like the huge waved splashed all the water it could bring, like the fire brought its moving light to guide me, like the earth crumbled in my senses.

Sam was in front of me, so real, tangible and vulnerable. At the sight of Sam, my heart quickly melted and hope sparked in my insides.

"What's wrong with you, Fredgeek?" Sam barked at me. She maybe noticed that I was like oh-my-god-i-am-happy-to-see-you-again-the-love-of-my-life on her. I decided to take a quick look all over the room. Wait, what's going on in here? I was in the iCarly studio. How I miss this place.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I came back here, in an alternate universe thing but this was still part of my history and at the same time it wasn't.

WHAT THE HELL?

I sighed. First things first. "What's the date?"

Sam gave me a weird look. "Why are you asking for the freakin' date? What's wrong with you? Did you hit your head that bad?"

Even though I'm dying to answer the question, I forcefully held myself back and stayed firm. I should do nothing but act normal in front of them. My heart started pounding again. "I said, what's the date, Puckett?"

Sam later realized that I was being serious so she answered my question right away. "January 3, 2009."

A year before her death. Great. I have one year to stay with her. "Time?"

"Freddie, why are you asking such weird things?" Carly asked me, giving me a skeptical look. I wanted to tell her but I have to keep my freaking mouth shut or else I'll ruin everything.

"I-I forgot the time. What was it again?" All I have to do was to cover up but it seemed not to work. I saw all the doubts in their faces. Sam had an inredulous smile on her face. Oh god.

"Three thirty-two PM." Spencer told me. I nodded my head to him. He lend me a helping hand.

"What were we doing?" I asked Carly.

Carly's face was all worried. "We're live. We had just started but right after me and Sam did our intro, you suddenly passed out. And you broke your camera."

I glanced at the floor horrified with the thing at my feet crashed in pieces. "My camera!"

Sam bit her lip. "You ruined the show!" She stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her. "I'm getting some ham!" I heard her yell angrily.

Ugh, I'm still not feeling well and I still have to follow Sam.

"Wait!"

I turned the door knob and opened the door. I followed her downstairs. When I got there, I looked around and saw Sam in the couch, munching some meatballs.

"Hey, I'm sorry." I apologized.

She looked at me. "Whatever." And continued eating meatballs. I guess I was already forgiven. I sat on the couch too.

"I thought you said you wanna eat ham?"

She replied while searching for something. "No more ham."

I sat with her on the couch but not really close to her. "Looks like we aren't going to film iCarly for a couple of days...or weeks." I said, biting my lip. Maybe my breaking-accidentally-of my camera would help me adjust here. Not shooting for a few days would make my schedule fit for me. I was doing the same thing all over again! Knowing what will happen next made me feel...weird? I wasn't really was indescribable. I thought it was cool but no, it felt like I'm having a deja vu or what. I didn't like doing things all over again but I was here, doing exactly what I hated the most. But it was just okay with me, because I was doing it for Sam.

"Do something about it!" Sam ranted. "I can't live without iCarly!"

"Yeah but paying for a camera repair repairing costs a lot of money!"

Sam snapped. "Then just buy a new one!"

"No way!" I yelled. We were starting to argue.

"Why?" She said standing up before taking another bite of a meatball. She placed the plate of meatballs on the table and put her arms together. "You're the technician here! Do something!"

I stood up and opened my mouth to argue. "You don't know how much that camera means to me!"

"Oh shut up Fredella!" She pointed a finger at me. Oh, you don't know how much I missed this.

"It's because-"I interrupted myself. Must learn how to shut up.

Sam raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer.

"Nevermind."


The next day was pretty normal, I kissed Mom goodbye before leaving for school (yah, I know it sucks!). When I was in the hallway, I saw Carly and we went to school together. I did the usual daily routine, open the locker, get books and...oh my God, there's a dead fish in my locker!

Wait, a dead fish?

I knew I had handcuffs in my locker and planned on using this on Sam if she makes fun of me again.

"I am definitely going to use this today!" I said in excitement. I saw Carly smile on me.

"What's with the grin Freddie?"

"Sam put a dead fish on my locker!"

"Why are you grinning? You're planning something aren't you?" Carly asked.

Oh yeah. Shoot, I totally forgot! Act normal, act normal, act normal, act normal, act normal.

"Y-yeah, I got some handcuffs." She took a look of them.

"Handcuffs? You're using this on Sam? What, are you tired of living?"

I was just about to nod when I felt someone behind me.

"What did you say, Frednub?"

Oh no. She heard about it.

Carly immediately hid the cuffs behind her and covered up for me.

"No, you're wrong Sam. H-he's not actually getting revenge on you or something because you put a dead fish on his locker. T-this handcuffs aren't for you and..." I saw her look away and when she noticed Gibby, she faced her again.. "and Gibby."

Carly just told Sam everything!

"Good plan, Benson. But it's not going to work." Sam glared at me.

It's not like what you think Sam. I know what's going to happen.

"Are you sure?" I smirked at her.

I looked at the handcuffs and saw Carly smiling at me-evilly. Oh no.

I closed my eyes. I thought she was handcuffing me to Gibby. But when I opened my them, I heard Sam's voice instead.

"CARLY, TAKE THIS OFF!" Sam growled.

Oh no, our hands were linked. I mean the handcuffs were putting them together.

"Carly, give me the key!" I stretched out my free hand.

Carly quickly hid it in her bag. "No way." She smiled. "Enjoy the day, handcuffed." She gave a quick wink before turning. "Bye!"

Sam glared at me. Those icy blue eyes were piercing. "I'm gonna get you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But I'm gonna get you."

I stared at her in disbelief. I can't believe it. The future's totally ruined! To make thngs a lot worse, I was starting to feel something down here. This is bad!

"Sam..." I trailed off.

"WHAT?"

"I think I need to pee."
