Almost Easy

Chapter Three: I want the truth Sam

~Batting Cages~

"FREDDIE!" Giggy called over to find Freddie and Brad. The batting cages was were Freddie, Brad and Gibby became real close over the last summer. "Hey Brad."

"Yo Gibbs."

"Hello Gibby." Freddie answered, he already filled Brad in on what the whole event of the day was.

"Freddie take some swings and talk." Brad offered as they stood on the side lines behind the fence. Freddie had a mean swing, so they always enjoyed watching him bat. Freddie accepted the offer and got up to bat. Between each swing he'd speak.

"Alright Gibbs you know I'm really here to listen to you." Freddie swung.

"You sure you want to hear this from me man?"

"Yeah, dude. I think you should ask the Samster herself." Brad threw in.

"Right, because of course she'd tell me straight up herself." Freddie swung hard on the next pitch.

"You know she would." Gibby said. Freddie moved back and stared hard at Gibby as the balls kept coming, but he stopped swinging.

"That's a damn lie and you know it. Just today she tried to cover her tracks about her lying about being my boss and she never very well that I knew." Brad said ouch quickly as Gibby held Freddie's stare just as hard.

"Freddie look at from Sam's point of very. She went up to the studio today to confess to you she had done wrong and instead you tore her a new one of course she freaked and did what she is known for doing, covering her own ass. You were too hard on her man."

"How the hell do you know that? You weren't even there." Freddie defended his actions to the teeth.

"She told me everything Freddie and I know she wasn't lying because that's how you are when it comes to her. You don't hold back with your words like she doesn't hold back on her punches. You gotta remember something though Freddie."

"What's that Gibby?" Freddie asked sarcasm thick in every word.

"Words hurt a girl more than anything else." There was silence as the pitches stopped coming because his time was up. Freddie got out of the cage as Brad went in, baseball season was upon them and Brad would not miss out a chance to practice no matter how dramatic life was.

"He's got a point ya know that Freddie. Sam may seem tough on the outside but you out of all of us here, should know best that she's just as girly as Carly." Brad chimed as he took his first swing missing the pitch. "CRAP!"

"Lean into your swing Brad I've told you a hundred times." Freddie shot at him turning to Gibby.

"Ya need to go talk to her, unless you really hate her."

"You know very well I don't hate her." Freddie pinched his nose with his fingers as he felt a headache coming on.

"Freddie I don't care what you and Sam heard Carly saying about relationships; well all know you and Sam weren't ready to be over." Brad swung again after he spoke this time hitting the ball. "FUCK YEA!"

"Freddie tell her already!" Gibby said. They all knew what Gibby was talking about. Freddie was still trying to deny it. "It's like I told Sam. You guys are constantly trying to find a reason to hate each other because that's easier than admitting you're in.."

"Don't say it Gibby." Freddie said. The thing about Freddie was even though he was the first to say "I love you" he was dead scared to being in love. His mom ended up alone as did Sam's mom and Gibby's mom, even Carly's dad ended up alone. Only Brad could say his parents had the fairy tale ending.

"You've gotta confront your fear man." Brad said taking another swing. Freddie stared at the bracelet he kept messing with. Galaxy Wars it had written on it; a gift from Sam from before they were even dating. It came with that birthday card that said I hate you hate Sam on it.

"Go Freddie before you both lose each other forever." Gibby said as he turned to face Brad. "LEAN IN BRAD DAMNIT!" he screamed as Brad missed another pitch. Freddie chuckled at poor Brad. He was a great pitcher but not the best batter. Freddie looked down at his phone and he knew exactly where was gonna be.

"I'll see you guys later." Freddie said as he waved to the boys and walked.

"LEAN! DAMNIT BRAD WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" He heard Gibby scream.

"ALRIGHT CALM YOUR TITTS MAN!"

~The Fire Escape~

Freddie knew Sam would be here to watch the sunset; she was always there on Saturdays. Sure enough when he got close enough in the hall way he could see her back on the edge of the window sill waiting on the sun to set.

"Knock, knock Sam." Freddie said. Sam turned around to face him. He could see she had been crying. His heart hurt as he saw this. "Hey why the tears Sammie?" Freddie went over to her and sat next to her as he place an arm other her shoulders. Sam stiffened up a bit before she relaxed a bit.

"What are you doing Freddie?" Sam asked.

"Well I'm comforting a damsel in distress." He loved calling her that because she'd always get all angry and what not; this time she barley smiled at the phrase. He pulled his arm back and he stared out at the sky with Sam as he sighed. "Sam I'm sorry." Sam turned to him sharply.

"For what dork? I'm the one that got you fired because I lied to you. I'm the one that mad you hate me! Me not you! I'm the one that should be sorry. I'm the one that is always making your life hell and making you feel like shit! ME! How in fucking hell are you the one that's sorry? Honestly I swear you're so slow. You try and take the blame all the time even when it's not your fault! What's a matter with you!"

"SAM!" Freddie stopped her from going on. "I'm sorry because I didn't let you explain yourself. I just started to yell at you and just fight with you instead of taking your sorry with happiness. I made everything difficult and I'm sorry." Sam just stared at him so Freddie went on. "But come on Sam, how could I just simply take your sorry. You've lied to me about all kinds of things and I felt like you were just lying again to save your own ass."

"How Freddie!" Sam suddenly said.

"How what?"

"How do I make you see I'm done lying to you?" She whispered.

"I want the truth Sam."

"About? Anything I'll tell you."

"You're feelings for me." Sam was taken aback with his request. "Please Sammie, I just want the truth." She stared at him a bit as he stared back. She wasn't sure how to say I love you, she wasn't like him she just couldn't say it. She was more of an action person not a words person. So she did what she knows best; she kissed him softly. Freddie wasn't expecting this kiss but he didn't want to miss out on it like he did their second kiss. No, he kissed back just as softly. It's no secret that Sam and Freddie shared many kisses on that fire escape, but kisses like this. These soft, slow, time stopping kisses were as rare as Freddie's pet name. Freddie and Sam were a fast passionate couple, that when they slowed down for each other it really meant something; it was special and the world knew it. When they finally pulled away Freddie said it just like the first time. "I love you Sammie." He whispered into her lips and she kissed her again.

"I love you too Amor." (A/N SPANISH-LOVE) A pet name she stole from Freddie. He smiled and again they slowly kissed as the sun began to set.

A/N Yes this is the last chapter I have written so far. I'm not sure if I should keep going on with it or not. I feel like there is more that can be added more story but I don't know, let me know if you want more or if I should just leave it. XOXO iJuliaGulia
