Freddie's POV

"Gahh," I yelped as I covered my eyes from the bright, blinding light that suddenly overtook my vision. After I was sure it had gone away, I opened my eyes to see what looked like a living room decorated in nothing but white. There were white curtains, with a white window showing the day light streaming in.

Through this all there was a coffee table in the center of the room, with white living chairs on both sides of it. Sitting atop one of the chairs was none other than Carly Shay, standing out like never before with her alarming head of black hair. But even I hadn't noticed at first as she too was dressed in the cleanest, purest white, topped off with a white sun hat.

She looked up suddenly, sensing someone was there. I acted on instinct and started to run over to her shouting happily, "Carly!" But I heard someone who sounded exactly like me say the same thing and the same person who looked exactly like me too, ran over to Carly, and I stopped dead in my tracks.

I stood there for a minute, confused as I watched the other me and Carly sit and smile at each other. I eventually, slowly, made my way to the pair and tentatively tried to touch the other me's hair. My hand went right through, so I naturally screamed. They didn't seem to notice.

"Carly, it's…" the other me began finally, at a loss for words. "It's been forever!" Carly finished for the other me excitedly. The other me nodded. Carly then made a twisted angry face, "You had to go and take off like that! Where have you been? I was so worried."

The other me's eyes widened at the same time as mine did and he said, "I've been everywhere, Carly! You totally missed it. I stole a motorcycle, I went to this dance club, and I even had this little picnic." The other me laughed as Carly just sat there in shock. The other me, seeing her face, then added, "But I mean, I ran away. I just needed to get away from life for a little while."

Carly shook her head, "You seem like you changed. But anyway, how have you been? I missed you so much."

"Better than I thought, actually. You see, I've been with Sam." Their faces changed at that moment. I saw the other me's face light up and get a sparkle in his eye, and Carly's fall with a mix of slight shock and pain. "I did all those things I mentioned with her, and you know I really learned a lot from her. I could have never made it this far without her. We're a great team."

Carly made a weak smile, "Sam. Of course, she's been gone too. It sounds like she's been doing well too."

The other me nodded, oblivious to Carly's feelings. "Yeah, she's learning to drive. I'm teaching her."

"Oh my gosh," Carly breathed, taken aback. The other me laughed, "Yeah, it's scary."

"So how have you been?" He finally asked. "How's Griffin doing?"

"Oh, we broke up," Carly said sadly.

"I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?" The other me asked sincerely, without a trace of excitement, as would be expected. I smiled at him, "Dude, that's great. Now's your chance. Say something that makes her know u still want her. She's all over you. This is what you've always wanted."

I watched the two, waiting for a response but knowing I wasn't going to get one. I saw the sadness in her eyes, and the distance in his. "Right?" I added, unsure of the answer myself.

"He just wasn't into the relationship like I was. I felt unloved. I missed feeling loved."

"Yeah, I know the feeling. You'll find someone though, I know you will," he encouraged.

Carly then flashed the brightest smile she could, "I was thinking maybe you could be that someone."

This was it. This was everything that I had ever wanted, my life goal. It was all right in front of me, or the other me at least. All he had to do was say, 'Sure, Carly. There's nothing I'd love more than to live in a cottage with you for the rest of our lives and have kids who turn out to be doctors and become a famous actress and director ourselves.'

But that's not what happened. "I'm sorry, Carly. That's just not me anymore."

Carly looked up with an as calm expression as she could possibly muster. "It's her. Isn't it?"

At that moment, color began to come back into the room. I saw that the walls were actually purple, and the furniture was red and blue. Carly's hat turned to blue too, and I found the other me wearing blue jeans and a green dress shirt. I could hear soft sentimental music playing now in the background, like they played at all the sappy parts in the movies.

"I can't live without Sam," The other me said. Carly just nodded, understanding. "I get it. She's your everything now."

"Yeah, that's right, Sam." The other me said, as Carly's image faded smoothly into Sam's, who was wearing every color of the rainbow. Sam smiled, and I watched the two, who looked happy. Suddenly, everything faded to black, the whole scene dissolved, and I collapsed onto the ground.

Everything was silent for a moment, until I heard Sam's voice booming through the darkness, "Then maybe you should realize the truth yourself, Frederly." Her voice echoed on the word 'Frederly', and that was the last thing I heard before I woke up.

I bolted upwards in a panic. There was no white room and there was no Carly around. The only thing I saw was Sam sleeping, curled up in a ball, miles and miles of nothing, and the moon shining in the sky.

My mind was so confused. That was a dream, right? It just seemed so real. Tentatively, making sure that I wouldn't wake her, I lightly tapped Sam's shoulder. Thankfully, my hand did not go through this time.

So, it was just a dream. But, it made so much sense and didn't make sense all at the same time. I decided to go for a walk just to figure this all out.

I got up and walked up to Harley, sliding my hand across the bike as I went. I turned around to see the moon still shining bright, and there was no sound in the air except for a cricket every couple of minutes. I slid my hands into my hair and almost pulled it out, out of frustration.

That dream was a complete lie. I was not over Carly, right? I mean, sure, a lot had happened in the past few days but, it was Carly. Yet, I found that I couldn't quite remember the exact features of her face like I used to.

The wind was cold against my skin, as I stood there looking off into the distance. Something was definitely different about me, like Carly told me (sorta). I couldn't quite place it though. But I did know one thing. Sam had certainly become my best friend.

This night almost didn't seem real. There were a million things running through my mind. But I pushed the past out of my head. I was done looking back, and trying to hold onto something, trying to hold on to Carly.

Carly was always going to be my friend, but that was it. I had to let her go, and Sam was helping me overcome that. I had to focus on my future now. There was so much adventure left to be had, that I couldn't just go home without Sam. I didn't know what was in store for me, but I'd be ready this time.

All of a sudden, I started to feel lonely and couldn't stay in that place anymore. I started to turn back to where Sam and I were camped, while I thought about the possibilities for the future. I had to hold up my end of the bargain and help get us farther towards Texas sooner.

I was back at camp in what seemed like no time, though I was moving at a very slow pace. I dropped onto my knees on the blanket that Sam had so graciously let me borrow. Sam hadn't moved at all, she was just lightly breathing in and out. I speculated that she was having much simpler dreams, because every once in a while she would mumble, "No, that's my ham. Back away."

I laughed almost silently under my breath. That was Sam alright. I came to the conclusion that I could not do without her, or I would probably die out here or just become a total mess. But I knew I was going to be okay, and I wasn't lonely anymore. Plus, I could forget about Carly, it might take a little time, but she was already a fading image in my mind anyway.

I tried to go back to sleep for a little, but I found out that I probably shouldn't have taken that long walk, because I was too awake. Another reason was that I was quite scared of what my subconscious would have me dream up next. So, I just sat on the blanket and watched Sam sleep until sunrise.

Okay, this was a little bit of a shorter chapter, but completely fun to write his dream! I hope you enjoyed it :D Tell me if you did!
