A/N: Time to look at another Point of View Chapter… this time it's Carly's! Enjoy!
Time (Carly's POV)
I still can't believe my best friend has finally left Seattle. That is still hard for me to take in. It's been a weird to actually have my food actually there in the fridge and not gone. I think I can finally not spend so much on food with Spencer. That was probably the only good thing on our part. I can't believe I'd cried that much though. It has been a rough day. Sam had just left in her car that her brother had bought for Sam. What has worried me was something that I've noticed the pass couple of weeks.
Freddie, why are you ignoring Sam? She's been trying to tell you something all this time. Yet you chose to ignore her. I really hope you aren't still trying to go for me.
Ever since Freddie and I "dated" as you would call it; things had gone back to the way things were. I thought I did love the boy but I guess the effect may have finally worn off. That or I just didn't want to see Sam all down. I had just finished talking to Sam via video chat to make sure she made it okay. She seemed happy to be down there. Why am I get the strangest feeling that she is masking something from me?
A few days had gone by and I was finally preparing to go to community college. I figured it would be the better route that just going straight to a four year university right away. Spencer didn't mind that I still lived with him, as long as I can make my own decisions.
I had just gotten back from orientation when suddenly a certain tech boy was waiting for me to come back.
"Hey Carls," he said as he walked into my apartment.
"Freddie," I said with a smile, "what's up?"
He showed me the letter that Sam wrote to him. The funny thing is that I had already seen that letter because Sam had shown me the letter before leaving. I pretend not to know about the letter.
"Well this is a surprise," I said, "When did you get this?"
"My mother gave it to me," he said, "I felt like I should call her about this."
"You do realize that you may have broken her heart."
"I didn't realize that I would have that effect on her."
"She had hoped to see you. I thought I saw tears in her eyes when she was seeing me."
He didn't know what to say. I can see it in his eyes. He felt guilty but he was trying to hide it.
"Freddie," I said to him, "Whatever you are thinking; you should have thought about that before not seeing her."
"It's not like I meant to. I just didn't want to face her. I was afraid that I was…"
"You were what, going to love her back again?"
"Carly…"
"She poured her heart out waiting for you…yet you couldn't even give her the time…"
He notices my voice raising… nobody likes me when I start raising my voice.
"Another thing Freddie; if you do decide to call her… Prepare for backlash… knowing Sam; I have a feeling that she is just going snapback at you… you better think wisely."
Freddie left quietly without saying anything else. I'm sorry Freddie… it's for your own good. I have a feeling that all three of us will have a hard time as best friends for a while. I knew this as I was yelling at him. It was something that needed to be done though. At the same point in time I went upstairs and saw that I missed a phone call.
"Tori," I said to myself, "I better call her back."
After a few moments I finally got her to pick up, "Carly?"
"Hey Tori," I said as jumped onto my bed, "How have you been?"
"I've been alright," she said, "I got accepted to a school in Los Angeles to focus on my singing."
"Nice; I thought Hollywood Arts was the school for you though?"
"Yeah, however I was given another opportunity and it was full ride."
"I wouldn't blame you."
"So Carly; I figure I talk to you about someone."
"Ohhh is it a boy?"
She laughed, "Nah, I'm good on boys at the moment. It's about Sam."
"Oh?"
"She lives in the same apartment complex I'm in."
"Nice; is she doing okay."
"That would be the reason I called; I caught her crying as I went up to the roof."
"Say no more." I caught her up on the situation. I felt it was the right thing to tell her since she is closer to Sam at the moment. I told her to just call/text Sam to see if they can talk about it later. It'll be for the best.
"Thanks Carly… I'll talk to her about it."
After I hung up… I decided to sleep it off. I didn't know what else to think. Another couple days have gone by. I felt as if I was at fault for yelling at Freddie but I knew I did the right thing. However he did show me a letter and I really had hope he wasn't going to send one to her. I didn't say much to it and just let it go.
I had contacted Sam's sister and caught her up on the situation. She a good plan in place, which meant her and I would need to get tickets to Los Angeles soon.
"I think it's a good plan," I said to her.
"Perfect," she said, "I'll see you in a few days."
"I'll text you the address once I get it from her."
After that I packed my bags. I didn't think I would go on the same day Melanie because she has a semi-longer flight. I told myself that it was going to be another day before I go.
I finally went down to cheer Sam up and it was the right decision. I met up with Mel, Tori and Jade to figure out what to do. We all would keep in contact with each other to make sure she is doing okay. This was the only to keep in touch and to make sure that Sam doesn't hurt herself.
Sam… I was things didn't seem so awkward with you and Freddie. I know it still hurts but I'm sure things will get better.
After a few days I head back to Seattle and continued school. I made the right decision on taking most of my General Education classes. I kept with Sam once in a while when we both aren't busy. A few moments later I have gotten a phone call from Melanie.
"Hey Mel," I said as I kept doing my homework, "What's going on?"
"Did you hear from Tori," she said.
"That Freddie decided to head down there and causes a ruckus."
"Pretty much; he needs to learn to give some time."
"Hopefully he learned his lesson."
After the conversation, I went down stairs for a bit and saw Spencer in the living room building a sculpture of some sort. I just plopped myself on the couch. He decides to take a break from his work and walks over to me.
"Hey Carls," he said, "everything okay?"
I just nodded in response. I didn't know what else to say to him.
"I'm predicting… Freddie related."
"How did you…"
"Your face tells it all. Do you feel like Freddie is doing something wrong by going down there?"
"I just didn't want him to make things worse for him and Sam."
"I understand; but from a guy's perspective, you have to realize that he is doing what is right for him. You may not agree with it, but it seems like he is pushing himself to try to make things better first as a friend."
I never thought about it like that. I just saw it as him trying to gain the love back as a lover perspective. I went over and hugged my brother. It was just a nice brother sister moment that I wanted no one to ruin.
After the quick chat I went back to my room and just finished my homework for the night. I better call it a night. It's been a long day and I rather not frustrate myself with all of this. I finally hit the hay and called it a night. Good luck Freddie. Good luck Sam.
A/N: A little different than normal… but this will have to hold over for a bit. I'm working on another actual Sam chapter. Read and Review!
