Iturn Back in Time

Chapter 14 – iGet in Trouble

Sam

"I thought I was dreaming, but when I opened my eyes I saw it was real. I knew it all along."

He vanished.

I can't believe it. He just vanished.

I was talking to him only a few seconds ago but now, he's gone. He vanished in thin air.

I was right. Freddie was keeping something from me. I got up from the ground and searched for him. I couldn't find him anywhere. Where did he go?

I wasn't too shocked about this. Actually, I've been spying on him for already three weeks. I figured out some things weren't normal so I kept an eye on him. Good thing I have this paranoia or else I wouldn't have known anything about him. Plus he just said something about January 18, 2010 which was too strange for him. Why would he talk about the future if he hasn't seen it yet?

I began suspecting him that very same day this year. It was when he collapsed when we were doing iCarly. Don't you think it's weird for a person to ask for the date and time of the year when you have been with someone for a long time? I have watched things like these in the movies. Don't you think Freddie has a supernatural power or something?

No, no,no, no. Freddie is a nub. A nub. Nubs don't see the future.

Or do they?

Darn! Why do I keep thinking about him? But what happened just now wouldn't stop me from getting answers from him once he comes back. Maybe my imagination was just playing with my head for me to react this way. Sometimes I feel so weird about myself. Yeah, maybe I was just imagining things.

"I thought I was dreaming, but when I opened my eyes I saw it was real. I knew it all along." I mumbled to myself.

Was he even with me? Or was it just my imagination? No, it can't be an illusion. I can still feel the warmth of his hug on my body, lingering for quite some time now. I don't know what's right or what's wrong now, or if have already gone crazy or not. I just hope things won't go out of control after this or else...

I can't tell this to Carly, or Spencer.. to anyone! I don't know why myself was telling me to keep it from others. Probably to keep them out of trouble? Was there even trouble?

Aaargh! The only thing I am capable of doing now is to hope everything will go back to normal as soon as possible. There couldn't be any magic going on, right?

"Samantha?"

I looked around. It was Dad.

"Pops?" I smiled.

"Come over here, sweetie." Dad opened his arms wide.

I walked to him obediently and had my arms around him. He was a tall man, in his middle 30's like Mom and has a kind face. We have the same eyes. When he smiles, you could see laugh lines at the sides of his mouth. He is such a loving guy. No wonder Mom fell in love with him but unluckily, their relationship didn't work out in the past.

Yes, I lied when I told Freddie that this was my place. Well, the it was a half true. Dad told me that I can go stay here anytime. I have kept this a secret from Carly, Freddie and Spencer because I am still not ready to tell them about this. I have met Dad only a week ago when he and Mom saw each other at a bar. I didn't know what Dad was doing there but I am pretty sure what Mom was doing there at the moment; trying to make herself drunk after a guy dumped her. Oh well.

Mom and Dad never got married. For some reason, I think I knew why. Mom had me and Melanie when she was just sixteen. They were still in high school then. They committed the biggest mistake of their lives and that was me. That was some of my reasons why I couldn't tell my friends about this lovely secret.

After giving me a squeeze, Pops held my hands. "Let's eat inside."

I nodded. Maybe this wasn't a bad idea after all. It's the first time I'm having my dinner with them as a whole family. I am so happy.

We got inside and I was surprised to see another girl in the dining table. She had black shoulder length hair, pale skin and green eyes. She resembled Carly a lot—except for the eyes. She looked at me with a stern look in her face.

At the other side of the table was Mom, in her red evening backless dress. She looked gorgeous tonight, the first time I have seen her normal. Red lipstick. So Mom.

"Everybody's here! What are we waiting for? Let's eat!" Pops clapped his hands in delight. I looked at him with fascination. He seemed to be very happy with all of us around.

"Sam, go sit next to Kate." Mom told me.

I went to my sit and sat next to the girl who looked like Carly. She seemed to be very timid.

"Hello." I waved at her, trying to be nice.

"Daddy, who is she?" Kate asked Dad in her small voice. She's very cute.

"She's Sam, your older sister."

"What?" Kate and I exclaimed in unison.

We both stared at each other. I have a younger sister? Really? I can't believe this!

That's when Melanie showed up, in a purple and black outfit and heels. She always wears heels. Don't her feet get tired of them?

"Hey guys, have I missed something?" Melanie asked.

For the first time, I communicated with her with no spite in my words.

"You have no idea."

Freddie

"Don't go anywhere else on January 18, 2010."

"Dude, that's like next year!"

"Just promise me that you'll never go out on that day."

"Freddie? Freddie! What's happening to you?"

"FREDDIE!"

I woke up from my deep sleep, only to find myself in a dark room. Everything was black and empty. I can hardly see anything. What's weird is...I can still see myself.

I looked up and down not finding a single thing related to where I was probably minutes ago. Where the hell am I?

"Sam? Are you there?" I got up, checking if she was there.

"No, she's not."

A voice of a girl came out from nowhere. I turned my head left and right to find the source but the dimness of the room seemed to have blinded me. I wasn't even sure if I was inside a room.

"Where is Sam?" I asked in a desperate voice.

"She's everywhere but not here."

That made me confused. "What?"

"She could be in the future, the past, the present. But not here."

"Wait, who are you?"

A familiar figure came walking towards me, wearing a long black cloak. Its hands revealed itself from the long sleeve and took its hood off. She had pale skin and icy blue orbs. Relentlessness was marked in her eyes and her face gave off the look of someone I already know. She smiled at me.

My eyes widened in shock. I couldn't believe it.

I opened my mouth to speak but she placed a thin finger on her lips and hushed. "I am not who you're thinking right now."

Confusion washed up my brain. I swallowed.

"Sam?"

She shook her head. "I am not Sam. But I am a part of Sam."

"What do you mean?"

"I am Sam's Death."

My eyes widened. "You're Sam's what?"

"Death."

My jaw hung open. What the hell is happening?

"Sit down and let's have a talk." She sat on the flat surface below us. I copied what she did. We were both sitting on the ground in front of each other.

"Do you mind explaining what is happening right now?" I crossed my arms as I waited for her to speak.

"That's why exactly I sent you here."

"Wait," I paused. "You're the one who dragged me here?"

She nodded.

"What? Why!"

"I wanted to tell you something about your situation. Your time is running out."

I cocked an eyebrow. "But I still have a year to-"

"Freddie, you messed up with it!" She exclaimed.

"You mean, time?"

"Yes! I'm glad you get it!" She yelled. She was really, really Sam-like.

"I can't help it!" I rolled my eyes. "I have to do this! I love her and I have to save her!"

"Freddie, it's not my fault about Sam dying, okay? I'm here to clear things out. I am Death, and my task is to take Sam on the 18th day of January, 2010. But what you are doing is speeding the time and making her time pass twice as usual!"

"You mean, it's my fault Sam is dying?"

"No, not you exactly. It was your wish. You wished you would turn back in time right? Actually, that was against the rules. No one can ever go back in time! No one!"

"But I succeeded on going back!"

Death sighed. "This is another thing we have to discuss about. No one can ever go back in time. I have no idea how you landed here or how you did it!" She paused. "Wait, did someone just...?"

"Someone helped me go back."

She bit her lip. "Oh no."

My eyes narrowed. "Why?" I can sense something.

"Freddie, you are in trouble."
