Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while! It was my birthday on Monday and since then I've been addicted to my iPod Touch and school has been getting in the way of my writing! So here's a nice long one. I would've made it longer (I wish I could) but it's late and I have school in the morning. I think I've used the last line before! And guys, thanks for all the birthday messages! They really made my birthday special, and thanks to all the Spanish readers who sent me birthday wishes! I love everyone that has even given my stories at least a millisecond of a though! With out my readers there would be no story! Thanks Midnight08 for this idea!

Day 40 of 100 Day of Seddie Challenge: Cinema
Sam POV
Carly, Freddie and I planned to go to the movies tonight but Carly suddenly cancelled because she has a date with some new guy that she's been dating. So it was just me and Fredward Benson.
"I'm sorry guys but I've been waiting for Simon to ask me out for a really long time and I can't miss a date with him!" Carly said as she hurried Freddie and I out of her apartment. "I'll see you guys later!" She shut the door on us.
Me and Freddie stood in the hallway separating his and Carly's apartments.
"So," I said.
"So, you wanna go to the movie? It's gonna start in half an hour," Freddie said.
"Okay, but you're buying me the extra large popcorn."
"When have I ever not bought you your popcorn?" Freddie asked me.
"Touché."
Together we left the apartment building and we walked about three blocks to the cinema. It was quite a big movie theatre and it has a lot of screens and they sold the best popcorn. Seriously, no popcorn could beat it. I could eat an extra large popcorn by myself. If anyone tired to touch it I would have them pinned down in a millisecond.
Freddie handed me some money. "Go get your popcorn; I'll go pick a movie."
"Okay, but if you choose a chick-flick or anything stupid," I said to him.
"Sam, how long have I known you? I know what I should pick to save my life from you ending it," Freddie said, a smirk on his face. He knew me good.
"Good boy," I said. I had joined the back of the queue for the food and it wasn't a very huge line so I didn't have to wait too long to get my popcorn. I bought both me and Freddie a Peppy Cola each with the rest of the money that I didn't spend on the popcorn.
When Freddie came back from the ticket booth I handed him his Peppy Cola and the twenty cents change.
"Wow, there's actually change this time?" Freddie asked sarcastically.
"Shut up, Benson," I said.
Freddie just shook him head and held out my ticket.
"Well I can't take it can I? My hands are full," I stated. In my right hand was my drink and under my left arm was my popcorn.
"Oh right, yeah, I'll keep hold of it."
"What movie are we seeing anyway?"
"The Woman In Black. It's a low age rated movie but it's supposed to be really freaky. And it's got the guy from Harry Potter in it."
"Aw I love him. Come on, let's on in before my arm drops off of my body from holding this awkwardly." Freddie nodded and we handed in our tickets and went into the right screen.
There were half an hour trailers at the start of the movie and I managed to eat half of my popcorn before the movie started. And they wondered why people fell asleep while watching movies.
The movie finally started and I whispered to Freddie, "Finally."
"Yeah, I was starting to think I paid nearly twenty dollars to watch trailers that show on the TV anyway!"
I shushed him as the movie started.
At first the movie wasn't very good but then (A/N IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE WOMAN IN BLACK, THESE ARE SPOLIERS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! THERE'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE BIG SPOILERS!) the crow jumped out and the whole cinema screamed and jumped in their seats; including Freddie and I. I screamed and I jumped in my seat.
I laughed at myself and I could hear Freddie chuckling either at me or himself or both beside me.
We continued to watch the film and the scenes got scarier. I could tell I was going to be paranoid for the rest of my life.
Suddenly the scenes got scarier and I found myself asking, "Freddie, hold onto me!" in a panicked voice.
He hesitantly took my arm and I squeezed his like there was no tomorrow. The popcorn that I had was all over me and Freddie from where I jumped so many times, the empty box on the floor.
"Ow Sam, calm down, it's not even a scary bit yet!" Freddie said in a strained whisper.
"Oh, right, sorry," I said and eased up on his arm.
"Thanks, now I can feel my arm," he said back. I laughed one short laugh.
The movie got scary and more intense. I had screamed so many times and I held onto Freddie's arm with one hand and onto his hand with my other hand.
"Don't tell anymore I held your hand because I was scared or else," I said to Freddie halfway through the movie.
"I know the drill," Freddie said, wincing at the hold.
Another really scary part came onto the film and I hid my face in Freddie's shoulder.
"Again, don't tell anyone!" I threatened.
"Again, I know," he said. I couldn't see his face as mine was still nestled into his shoulder but his voice sounded like me had a smile on his face. "You can look now by the way."
"Oh, okay," I said. Luckily you couldn't see my blush in the dark room.
I continued to watch the movie and it got scarier every minute.
Finally it finished and I somehow was still holding onto Freddie hand and I didn't want to let go. It was weird.
"That was the scariest friggin' movie ever!" I said as we got outside of the cinema and into the lobby.
"No kidding," Freddie said. He wasn't even affected by the movie.
"I screamed my head off and I couldn't watch—"
"A very un-Samish thing to do as well," Freddie interrupted me.
"Watch it Freddifer," I said glaring at him. I was still holding onto his hand and I didn't remove it. I didn't want to go anywhere from his side. And I didn't even think it was anything to do with how freaked out I was. I really was acting un-Samish.
"Anyway, as I was saying," I continued, "I was screaming and I couldn't watch half of it and you hardly jumped! What gives, you're supposed to be the nub!"
"You want the truth?" Freddie asked me.
"Yeah," I said nodding.
"Well, after the last movie we watched at Carly's that was scary and I got all freaked out, I started to watch scary movies by myself and so I've got used to them," he said.
"Does that really work?" I asked him. We were walking back to Bushwell Plaza in the gathering darkness. I held Freddie's hand tighter as I got more scared; I knew I was going to be paranoid. He held my hand tighter and I felt instantly safe and my heart raced. Cool it Puckett! You should not be feeling these feelings!
We got back to the apartment building and we went up to the eighth floor.
"Well, I better go before my mom calls the police or an ambulance," Freddie told me.
"Yeah," I said, "You're mom's a freak."
"I know," he said as if he was embarrassed of her...As he should be.
I reluctantly took my hand out of Freddie and I said goodnight to him.
"Night Benson," I said.
"Night Puckett, don't get too scared," he said to me with a smirk.
"Very funny," I said.
I went into Carly's apartment and Carly was already in there. I was going to spend the night with her – like I usually did. I talked to Carly about the movie and how scary it was but I played it cool, even though I promised not to keep secrets from her, but some things deserved to be secrets with yourself and whoever is involved. Carly told me about her date and eventually we went to bed but I was paranoid as hell.
I kept thinking the Woman in Black was going to get me in the dark corners of the room and I felt like she was outside. (A/N. By the way, that is EXACTLY how I'm feeling right now. I saw it weeks ago but I'm still so paranoid. I'm so freaked out right this second!) I couldn't sleep thinking that she was outside, so I grabbed my phone for light and I crept out of Carly's room.
Before I realised what was happening, my feet were dragging me to Freddie's apartment. I texted him when I was outside and a few minutes later he came out with bed hair but he looked kind of cute.
"Hey Sam, what's up?" he asked me, rubbing his eyes.
"Promise not to laugh?" He shook his head. "I'm completely freaked out after that movie!" I said.
Freddie just shook his head and let out a small little chuckle.
"You promised you wouldn't laugh!" I said punching his arm.
"Oh yeah, sorry," he said.
"So...Can I come in?" I asked him.
"Sure," he said. "My mom's on the night shift and she left like an hour ago so she won't be back until morning."
"Cool." I walked into Freddie's apartment.
Me and Freddie talked for hours and I eventually fell asleep on his couch, and I think I fell asleep curled up on his chest. I wasn't fully asleep until I felt something like lips press against my head and I fell asleep completely calm and not paranoid.
