iWill help you

~ * Freddie * ~

I sit on the couch with Sam in my arms, hugging her close to me and trying to calm her down as she's sobbing. Oh god I literally have NEVER in my life seen Sam like this! It's absolutely breaking my heart to see her like this!

Sam just told me what happened, but not just that, no, she told me everything but literally EVERYTHING about her past. And I am SHOCKED! I can't believe she never told me or Carly anything about this!

I wish I knew. So I could've done something before she broke down like this! I feel so stupid for not noticing why Sam has always been so tough and offensive.

The things that happened to her are absolutely HORRIBLE and I can't believe she's been walking around with it like this for all these years. But what happened yesterday absolutely exceeded everything! I mean her dad, HER OWN DAD had nearly killed her! And people tried to RAPE her! They tried to rape MY SAM! I clench my fists in pure anger when I think about it. I literally want to kill her dad and those guys and all those other sick people that have treated my Sam like this! And I will do EVERYTHING to make sure it will never happen again!

I kiss Sam's forehead softly after a few minutes when she has finally calmed down a little. ''It's okay baby. I'm here, I'll protect you, I'll make sure they will NEVER do this to you ever again!''

Sam sniffs. ''I-I don't need your protection Benson..''

I shake my head. ''Yes Sam you do. You don't always have to put on that tough act! You can just be yourself. I love you, and I love you for who you are.''

Sam smiles slightly at me. I can see that she's starting to feel more and more comfortable with me every day. I'm glad about it, I just want her to know that she can just be herself around me.

I stroke Sam's hair. ''Baby…I think you need to tell Carly about this..''

Sam shakes her head quickly. ''No! I don't want her to get involved in this world! I don't want you to either Freddie! These are my problems, and I need to solve them myself!''

I shake my head. ''No Sam, that's my point, you don't have to do this on your own! We're here for you and we'll help you! These aren't 'your problems' you didn't choose to get them! You're the victim here Sam! And we won't let you go through this alone!''

Sam shakes her head again and sighs. "But Freddie I don't want you to..''

I cut her off. ''No Sam, I will NOT let you do this on your own! I refuse to! Period!''

Sam looks at me slightly surprised. ''Woah slow down bad boy..''

I look at her seriously. ''I'm serious Sam. You can't keep hiding this! We need to make sure they can never do this to you again! Carly's your best friend! You need to tell her this!''

Sam sighs deeply and groans. ''Fine..''

''Good.'' I kiss the top of Sam's head.

At that moment I hear a knock on the door. I kiss Sam's cheek and stand up off the couch. ''I'll be right back.''

I walk to the door and open it to see Carly.

She looks at me slightly worried. ''Hey. Is Sam here? We had a fight yesterday morning and I haven't heard from her ever since. I'm worried about her!''

Carly and Sam had a fight? I wonder what that was about…Sam didn't tell me anything about a fight. But right now that wasn't something to worry about. I first need to make sure Sam's okay and that these horrible things will never happen to her again.

I look at Carly. ''Yeah she's here but I don't think you should..''

Carly cuts me off. ''Oh good!'' She walks into my apartment. ''Sam? Sammm?''

Oh great, now Carly will see Sam all broken and bruised, full of stitches. She's gonna freak!

Carly walks into the living room and drops the purse she was holding in shock. ''SAM!''

She runs over to her and looks at her extremely worried. ''What happened to you!?''

Sam sighs. ''You don't wanna know…''

I walk over to Carly and Sam.

''Baby, I think you need to tell her…she has to know.''

Carly looks at me confused. ''Need to know what!?''

I sigh and look back over at Sam. ''Do you want me to tell her babe?''

Sam nods slowly, and I can see that she's trying to hold back her tears. Oh my poor poor baby. I wrap my arm around her and pull her close to me, she buries her head in my chest as I start telling Carly what happened.

''Okay Carls so this is really shocking. Just let me tell and finish everything okay?''

Carly nods. ''Of course. Tell me!''

I take a deep breath and start telling Carly everything.

~ * Carly * ~

I look at Freddie in pure shock after he finishes telling me everything that happened to Sam, I can feel the tears run down my cheek. I can absolutely NOT believe this happened to her! And it's my fault! If I didn't send her away, this would've never happened!

I sit next to Sam and wrap my arms around her, hugging her tightly. I cry and I realize Sam's crying too. ''Sam.. I-I'm so sorry!''

Sam sniffs. ''I-It's okay…''

I shake my head, crying. ''No it's not! This is my fault! If I didn't send you away this would've never happened!''

Sam shakes her head. ''You didn't know Carls...it's not your fault.''

''It is. I'll never forgive myself! I completely understand if you hate me now…''

Sam shakes my shoulders. ''Carly! Stop it! It's not your fault okay!''

''Yeah Carls,'' Freddie ads to it, ''It's not your fault, you didn't now. Now stop it, this isn't about you, we have to find a way to make sure this will never happen again!''

I wipe my tears away and nod. ''yeah you're right…''

Sam shakes her head, ''Guys I don't want you to get involved in this! I really don't! So please don't try to help me! I'll be fine…''

I shake my head. ''Sam, you've been hiding this from us for too long already. This can't go on like this! I mean look at you, you're broken. We're here for you okay! We won't let you go through this alone!''

''That's exactly what I said.'' Freddie ads to it.

''Right.'' I reply. ''So what do we do? Call the police?''

Freddie nods. ''I think that's the best we can do right now.''

''No!'' Sam screams. ''Guys please don't get the police involved in this please!…''

I can see the fear in Sam's eyes. I've never seen here like this before, and seeing her like this absolutely hurts me more than anything. She's my best friend! My tough, unbroken best friend, and people broke HER! It's like a horrible nightmare!

Freddie sighs and pulls Sam even closer to him. ''Baby…please…''

''no!'' Sam says and Freddie and I look at each other helplessly. I absolutely have no idea how we're gonna solve this. But we need to, no matter what it costs.

I look back at Sam. ''Well something I do know is that you're gonna stay with me. I won't let you go back to that horrible place ever again! I don't care what Spencer says.''

Freddie shakes his head. ''No it's okay, she can stay here.''

Sam looks at Freddie surprised. ''But what about your mom?..''

''She's away for the next five days, and I will take care of it when she comes back. I won't leave your side anymore baby, never! I don't care what my mom thinks of it!'' Freddie replies.

Aww, Freddie's so sweet. I'm glad he's taken such good care of Sam. I'm not such what would've happened to her if he wasn't here.

''Okay.'' I smile at Freddie.

Sam smiles widely at Freddie and hugs him. ''Thank you baby! Thank you thank you thank you!''

Freddie hugs her back. ''You're welcome Sam. I love you.''

Sam just smiles at him. I roll my eyes. Why was it so hard for her to tell Freddie she loves him? I mean, she obviously does! But I guess it all has to do with this horrible past of her.

I smile at both of them. ''I will ehh…I'll just leave you guys alone now. Just call me or come over if you need anything.'' I hug Freddie and then I give Sam a tight hug. ''Take care of yourself.'' I look back at Freddie. ''And you take good care of her, she needs it!''

Freddie nods. ''yes ma'am.'' He chuckles.

I chuckle and then walk to the door. ''Bye guys, love you both!''

Sam glares at me. ''Dudeeee!''

I chuckle at her. ''As my best friends!'' I roll my eyes and walk out of the door. ''Later!''

I shut the door behind me and walk back to my own apartment and shut my own door.

Spencer looks over at me. ''Hey kiddo.''

''Hey!'' I smile slightly at him.

He stands up and walks over to me. ''Are you okay? You look really pale!''

I nod. ''Yeah I'm fine…Sam's not though.''

''Why what happened? Didn't they sell that bacon flavored ice-cream anymore?'' Spencer smirks.

I shake my head. ''Not this time. I'm serious Spence.''

Spencer looks at me worried. ''You're getting me worried now. What happened to Sam?''

''You really don't wanna know.'' I reply as I walk over to the couch and sit down on it.

Spencer sits down next to me. ''Tell me Carls..''

I sigh. ''She's broken Spence, they've broken Sam!''

''Who did!?''

''I don't think she wants me to tell you everything Spence. She's kept all of this a secret from me and even from Freddie for the past years.''

''Wow. I guess it's really bad then huh?...'' Spencer asks me.

I nod as the tears start forming in my eyes again.

Spencer hugs me. ''Hey it's okay…she's with Freddie now right?''

I nod. ''Yeah…she's staying in Freddie's apartment.''

''Well that's good then right? I bet Freddie will take really good care of her. I understand that you're worried Carls, but don't get too upset okay?''

I nod. ''yeah you're right…it's just…you have to see her Spence, there are stitches all over her face and throat, burns all over her back and a huge wound on her stomach! It's horrible!'' I cry as I burry my face in Spencer's chest.''

Spencer strokes my hair, and I can see that it's touching him. ''Wow…that really is horrible…will you please tell me what happened Carls? I won't tell anyone else! I can't help you guys if I don't know what going on…''

I hesitate. I don't know if Sam is okay with me telling Spencer what happened. But he's her friend, and my brother. I know I can trust him. And besides, he's the only adult here. Maybe he can really help us.

I nod slowly. ''Okay..''

I take a deep breath and burry my head in Spencer's chest again before telling him what happened.
