Chapter 19

iWill fight for you

~ * Freddie * ~

I walk closely to my mom and look into her eyes angrily. I feel furious! How can she talk about Sam like that!? I can't believe her!

''You know how Sam got those bruises and injuries!?''

Sam grabs my arm. ''Baby…'' She tries to pull me back but I step closely to my mom again.

''No! I don't!'' My mom says. She looks slightly scared of me.

''She didn't get into fights mom! She always had to defend herself because…''

I bite my lip before continuing to yell at my mom. ''Because she has always been ABUSED!''

I can't stop myself from bursting out to my mom and screaming at her. I slightly lift up Sam's shirt and show my mom the wound on her stomach and the burns on her back.

''You see these!? Those are thanks to her DAD! He STABBED her in the stomach!''

I point at the cut on Sam's neck. ''And you see this!? That's cause he almost KILLED her!''

My mom looks at me in shock before swallowing and looking back at Sam.

''And you know what also happened to her? People have tried to RAPE her! Now do you STILL hate her so much!?''

My mom shakes her head and swallows. I look over at Sam and realize she's crying. God I didn't want that to happen… I pull her close to me and kiss her forehead, then her cheek, then her lips. ''Baby I'm sorry…I'm sorry, don't cry please…''

Sam bites her lip, trying to stop crying and wipes her tears away. ''i-it's fine…''

I hug her close to me and hold her tightly.

My mom steps closer to us and puts a hand on Sam's shoulder. ''Sam…I-I don't know what to say. I had no idea…I'm so sorry…''

Sam bites her lip. ''I-it's okay…''

I pull back from the hug and I look at my mom surprised when she hugs Sam. Okay…WOW!

''I'm really sorry Sam…I can't believe you had to go through all of this. We'll make sure those bastards will pay for what they did to you!''

Sam looks at me surprised when my mom hugs her and I shrug, smiling at her.

''Thank you Mrs. Benson but..''

My mom cuts her off. ''Don't call me Mrs. Benson, call me Marissa.''

Wow! Is this really happening!?

Sam smiles at my mom. ''O-okay ehh…Marissa…Thank you so much but we don't have to make sure of that anymore…Freddie already did.'' She smiles at me and I smile back at her.

My mom looks at me. ''Is that true Freddie?''

I answer her. ''Y-yeah…I got them arrested…''

I can't let my mom know that I also got into a fight with them, she's gonna freak out!

''Freddie!'' my mom screams at me.

Oh no…

''I'm so proud of you!''

I look at my mom shocked. ''W-what?''

''You went through all that trouble just to make sure those sickos can never hurt Sam again! That's what I call a great boyfriend…'' My mom smiles at me.

Sam smiles widely and nods. ''I totally agree Mrs. Benson…I mean Marissa.''

I smile widely. I can't believe this, my mom and Sam agreeing on something!? This is amazing!

''Sam means everything to me, I'd do anything for her!'' I look at my mom, hoping she'll say she's okay with it that Sam and I date and that she can stay here.

My mom nods. ''I know… you really love her…'' She sighs and looks at Sam. ''You can stay here Sam.''

Sam smiles widely and looks at me mom in slight disbelief. ''Really!?''

My mom nods and smiles.

''Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you!'' Sam hugs my mom.

Oh my god, this is AMAZING! Aww!

My mom hugs Sam back and pulls back. ''I'm sorry about judging you on your outside Sam. That was really wrong of me…''

''That's okay, that's what most people do…there's nobody except Freddie who really knows me…''

I walk over to Sam and hug her from behind. ''Baby it's okay, I love you for you. You can always be yourself here.'' I kiss her cheek.

My mom nods. ''We're a family, we will respect each other.'' She smiles.

Sam smiles back at her. ''Thank you so much.''

''You're welcome. By the way, who took care of all those injuries? Looks like a great doctor did that.''

Sam smirks. ''Freddie did.''

I smirk back at her and my mom looks at me surprised. ''Really Freddie!?''

I nod. ''With the techniques you taught me.'' I smile.

My mom smiles widely. ''Aww, that's my boy!'' she starts crying and hugs me. I chuckle and hug her back.

Sam smiles at us. I can see that she's really happy about this too. FINALLY Sam and my mom are getting along!

My mom pulls back from the hug and I pull Sam close to me again and kiss the top of her head.

''I'll ehh…I'll just leave you two alone…'' My mom smiles at us and starts walking towards her bedroom.

''mom.''

My mom looks at me. ''Yeah?''

''Thank you!''

My mom smiles. ''You're welcome honey.'' She walks to her bedroom.

I smile at Sam. ''I told you it was going to be okay.''

Sam smiles back at me and nods. ''I guess I'll need to believe you more…'' She chuckles.

''Sounds very good to me. '' I chuckle back at her and kiss her passionately.

~ * Sam * ~

I lie down on Freddie's bed, waiting for him to get out of the shower. I smile at Freddie when he walks out of the bedroom in only his pajama bottoms, gosh he looks so hot.

He gets into the bed next to me and wraps his arm around me. I smile up at him.

''Freddie?...''

''Yeah?''

''I love you…''

Freddie smiles widely at me and kisses my forehead. ''I love you too baby.''

I cuddle into him and rest my head on his chest. I listen to his heartbeat. We just sit there, together, just him and me, it's just like the world around us has disappeared. I love him SO much!

''hey baby…'' Freddie says.

''Yeah?''

''I'm sure of it now…''

''of what?''

''You are the love of my life…'' Freddie smiles at me.

I blush slightly and smile back widely at him. ''You…you are mine too.''

Freddie smiles widely at me and kisses me softly, I kiss him back.

''Babe where are all your clothes and stuff?...''

''In my mom's house…but I don't wanna go back there…''

The last thing I want is go back to that horrible neighborhood, I live here now, with Freddie. And it's perfect like this.

''You don't have to go back there baby…you'll never have to go back there…'' He kisses the top of my head. ''We'll get you some new clothes and stuff tomorrow okay?''

I nod at him and smile.

''You don't mind going like…shopping with me?'' I chuckle.

He shakes his head. ''I get to watch you in all kind of different clothes all day. I'm up for it.'' He smirks.

I roll my eyes at him and chuckle.

Freddie lies down and pulls me against his chest, his arms wrapped around me.

''Are you tired baby?'' I ask.

''No. I just wanna have you as close to me as possible.'' He smiles.

''Aww.'' I smile back at him.

Freddie is SO perfect! He seriously has it all! He's sweet, he's protective, he's smart, he's handsome, he's sexy, he's caring, he can cook, he's strong, he's everything!

''What are you thinking about babe?'' Freddie asks.

''You.'' I smirk.

''Oh, tell me what's on your mind.'' He smirks back.

''Just thinking about how amazing you are.'' I smirk.

''Oh tell me why I'm so amazing.''

''Ugh really Freddie?'' I chuckle.

''Nahh never mind I'd rather talk about how amazing YOU are.'' He winks at me and I chuckle. Okay add that to the list, he's adorably cheesy and romantic.

''You're so cheesy.'' I chuckle.

''Don't tell me you don't like it.'' He chuckles back.

I roll my eyes. ''You've created a big ego Benson!'' I smirk.

''I haven'tttt!'' Freddie chuckles.

''You haveeee!'' I mime him and chuckle. ''It's okay though, you're amazing, it's good that you know it.'' I wink at him and he just chuckles at me.

I actually really like it that Freddie has become so much more confident. He has all reasons to.

''You've become more confident baby, I like it.'' I smile at him.

He smiles back at me. ''Well that's only because you make me feel that way baby.''

God he's so cheesy! But I love it.

''aww babe.'' I smile back at him. ''I'm really glad you feel that way.''

He smiles at me and just lies down again, sighing happily. He keeps his arms wrapped around me tightly, like he never wants to let go. It's adorable.

After a while I realize Freddie's fallen asleep and I smile at him. He looks so cute. I try to sleep but I can't, I keep overthinking everything that happened today. Our reuniting with Carly and Spencer, our iCarly come back webisode and of course Freddie standing up for me against his mom and his mom suddenly getting protective over me. It was amazing.

I never thought Mrs. Benson, well, Marissa and I would get along, but it happened. It's so weird but she made me feel like she truly feels sorry for hating me and like she really accepts and respects me as Freddie's girlfriend. I'm so thankful for it!

I look over at Freddie again. Freddie Benson… The love of my life. Yeah, that's what he is. I'm not afraid of my feelings for him anymore. This is real, and this is serious. Freddie and I are meant for each other. Carly says it, iCarly fans say it, and deep inside even I have always known it, I just didn't wanna admit it.

I get out of Freddie's strong grip and stand up off the bed. I walk out of his bedroom and into the kitchen. I need some ham.

I start walking towards the fridge when I see Freddie's mom sitting on the couch. What is she doing here? It's 3a.m.! Wait is she…crying?

I walk towards the couch. ''Marissa?...''

She quickly wipes her tears away and looks up at me. ''Oh, h-hey Sam…''

''Are you okay?''

''Yeah I'm fine…just…couldn't sleep…'' She smiles up at me.

I sit down on the couch next to her and smile back at her. ''Me neither…''

What is this? I, Sam Puckett, am feeling the need to comfort Mrs. Benson!? Wow, things have changed. But…she kinda feels like family now…I don't want her to be sad, especially cause I feel like it's my fault…

''Is Freddie asleep?'' she asks.

I nod. ''Yeah, he looks really cute.'' I chuckle.

She smiles at me. ''I know…'' She sniffs.

''Are you sure nothing's wrong?''

''No. but you're a teen, with enough problems of her own. I shouldn't be settling you up with my overreacting mom feelings…'' She smiles at me.

I smile back at her. ''It's okay, you can talk to me…you don't like me staying here don't you?''

This is gonna be an emotional conversation…I can feel it…
