A/N: I'm considering slowly adding different characters as we go…from either series… but I will figure out as I go.

Mask Reappear

It's been a few days since Melanie arrived in LA. I've actually enjoyed her company since I don't have to worry about anything but school. I've been enjoying shopping with her. She knows the style I like and I guess I kind of know what my sister like… okay not so much.

Though she is leaving soon… I do love my sister… she is enjoy herself and I do love having her around since she has been helping me with my current problems. I've continued to drive around with her in the car as we finally approach back to my place. We both head back to my room where another certain someone has entered my domain.

"Well… well," she said, "guess I can finally say I've pick a lock of the famous Puckett."

"Carly," I said as I ran up to her to hug her, "what are you doing here?"

"What else Sam; I'm here to see you."

"You are here by yourself," Melanie said.

"Yeah, I told Spencer to just drop me off at the airport. I figured he wouldn't my own trip."

"You should have called Shay," I said as I found food for all three us to eat, "I would have picked up you."

All three us sat down; just had a good time with each other. We were talking about all the good times we when we were little. Most of it was basically playing the whole twin switch when we wanted to or in Carly's case, confusing the little one.

"I still can't believe that you two trick me," Carly said as takes a bite of my pasta, "Sam this is really good."

"I agree Sam," Melanie said," By the way Carly; you can tell whose idea it was to play the switch game with you."

"I figured as much; Sam, are you okay since the whole thing…"

"I am," I said as I finished my plate, "I honestly just need some time so I can just continue with school and be successful. "

There are times where I don't realize that my best friend and my sister were always there for me. I never seem to realize it but I feel very happy when I am around them; Even though at times I do feel annoyed from both of them.

Both Carly and Mel headed out to see the sights; that leaved me the chance to relax at home. I walked back into my room. I continued to just unpack items that I never had a chance to pull since moving down here. I pulled out Mr. Ham, the one gift that Freddie gave me. This one had a special message in it. I took the message out and just place it on the floor. I walked over to grabbed my bat and just started to whack Mr. Ham until all of the stuffing

Stupid Freddie… Stupid Freddie… why didn't you tell me sooner… why couldn't just tell me how you feel earlier instead of ignoring me… I cried everyday… I put on a mask every day when I'm at school or at Carly's. I never let anyone know how I really felt. I just want to… I just want to…

I just plumped to the floor and just started to cry… I felt really alone… it took about another 30 minutes before Carly and Mel to come back. Carly saw me on the floor and ran up to me. I just hugged her. I didn't know what else to do. Mel walked up to both us and just hugged as well. I've always felt love by the people around me. I knew what it was like to be heartbroken… but… nothing ever like this.

"Sam…" Carly said, "I know it still stings… but you have to be able to keep a strong will about it."

"She's right Sis," Melanie said, "You held up this mask for a long time."

I just want to keep feeling angry about myself just so I can put this mask back on my face. Melanie went over to my destroyed Mr. Ham. She notices that the message wasn't even touched. She just looked up and smiled.

"You kept the message," she said, "Always stay who you are… Never lose that smile…"

"Freddie gave you that right," Carly asked, "Maybe you should put away all those things he gave you."

"Maybe we can help with that," a voice said as we saw two people came in.

"How is she holding up," the goth chick said.

"Tori, Jade," Carly said, "she just broke down not too long ago."

Jade noticed my twin... I felt like there might have been some anger in her eyes but then I realized that is how she normal looks unless she talks about other people and their issues.

"You must be Melanie," Jade said, "Tori told me about your trick with Sam."

"Jade I'm assuming," Mel said, "Thanks for giving my sister the slap."

"No problem," she said as she walks over to me, "Everyone is here to help you Puckett."

She was right. I didn't know what to do. I felt like it's been something that I've never dealt with before. It's just the nub… why am I caring so much about him… I never thought that I would be in this position. I've always had a mask on just to tell cover myself from the world. What is stopping me from just live on with my life?

Tori started to look through my things… she notices the one thing that I haven't gotten rid of since I've gotten to LA.

"Your photo album," she said as looks through the photos, "looks like you have a lot of photos."

Melanie walks overs to look at the album as well. She notices a few things that could be hid away. Jade and Carly started to go through my closet. I was very grateful to them all. I went out to the living room to make all of them something to eat.

I came back with some cupcakes as I saw my room mostly cleared from the memories of the past. Each of the girls had a photo of themselves with them and just put it on my wall.

"How about a group photo," Tori said, "it only makes sense."

"I don't do group photos normally," Jade said as she pulls out her pearphone, "but just this once."

We all took a group photo and had printed a photo out within the next few minutes.

"Thank you," I said quietly, "all of you… I would still be wearing a mask just to cover myself."

"Sam," my twin said, "we are all here for you. Just let us in to help at least once in a while."

"Next time," Jade said, "Let's go somewhere and just scream…that way it would help you at least feel better about yourself."

"Thanks," I said, "I probably will take you up on that offer."

I know I'm just putting on another mask; I have to though I don't want them to keep having to help me all the time. I just wish it would be easier if I just…What's done…is done. I should just let them in. They took time out of their schedules to help me. It's only fair. I just now hope that I can focus what is important… getting your trust back..

A/N: Looks like Sam is maybe thinking what she did is a mistake… I have a surprise for the next few chapters… Read and Review!
