Hi! Sorry if this chapter isn't very good. I started it yesterday then lost inspiration by the end so it might seem a little all over the place, and for that I apologise! But read and enjoy, and review! Oh and, this is when Sam's in Sam & Cat. Mostly cause I heard the song and I thought of Sam being away and it fit in, so it's set in Sam & Cat's world - that probably made no sense.

Day 80 0f 100 Days of Seddie Challenge: iAlmost Do
Sam POV
I sat on my bed in the shared apartment that I have with Cat in LA whilst Freddie was back in Seattle living his life without me beside him to tease or annoy him. I'm not going to lie, but I actually missed him. Sure I spoke to him on the phone or emailed him but it wasn't the same as actually seeing him every day, going to school with him, or just hanging out.
I got an idea: to email him. In the email I wrote:
'I bet this time of night you're still up.
I bet you're tired from a long hard week.
I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window looking out at the city.
And I bet sometimes you wonder about me.
And I just wanna tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you.
And I wish I could run to you.
And I hope you know that every time I don't
I almost do,
I almost do.
I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
'Cause each time you reach out there's no reply.
I bet it never ever occurred to you that I can't say "Hello" to you
And risk another goodbye.
And I just wanna tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you.
And I wish I could run to you.
And I hope you know that every time I don't
I almost do,
I almost do.
Oh, we made quite a mess, babe.
It's probably better off this way.
And I confess, babe,
In my dreams you're touching my face
And asking me if I wanna try again with you.
And I almost do.
And I just wanna tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you.
And I wish I could run to you.
And I hope you know that every time I don't
I almost do,
I almost do.
I bet this time of night you're still up.
I bet you're tired from a long hard week.
I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window looking out at the city.
And I hope sometimes you wonder about me.'
That was all I wrote.
I hit send and a while after I got a phone call from Freddie:
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey!" said Freddie, "how comes you sent me the entire lyrics to Taylor Swift's 'I Almost Do'?" He sounded amused over the phone.
"Well...who doesn't like Taylor Swift? I can't just send you an email with lyrics to a pretty darn good song?" I demanded. Of course there was a reason, but he had to kind of figure that out himself. I mean, the lyrics fit perfectly.
"A normal person? Yeah. But you? Nope. There's always a reason behind everything you do, Puckett, even if it's a really bad reason, like the very many times you would hit me and say I was annoying you just by being there."
"Those were completely valid excuses! You used to be really annoying!" I said back.
"Used to be," he mused. "Does that mean I'm not anymore?" The way he spoke made it clear he was smiling whilst speaking.
"And now you've ruined it," I stated.
He chuckled slightly over the phone. "So are you going to tell me why you sent those lyrics?"
"I'll tell you what; you can figure it out yourself. As soon as you do, call me and tell me. Deal?" I said. Secretly I was pleased by how much he wanted to know. However, him actually knowing might cause him to run away.
"Can't you at least give me a clue?" he whined.
"Urgh, fine. Just read the lyrics as they are," I told him. "Speak to you when you figure it out!" I quickly said and hung up the phone.
He was smart, so he should be able to get it. At least I hoped he would understand because I didn't really want to spell it out for him.
It took him about an hour for him to call me back, which in my book meant he had actually read and re-read the lyrics about fifty times trying to make it fit in with my persona. Who would really expect me to send those lyrics to him of all people?
Well, either that or he'd forgotten about the deal.
I let my phone ring three times before I answered.
"Have you figured it out yet?" I asked.
"I think so," he said. There was a hint of sullenness in his voice, as well as mixed in guilt.
"And?" I urged.
"Taylor Swift knows exactly how to relate to our situation," he said.
I had to laugh at that. "She sure does."
"I get why you sent me those lyrics. Do you really think all of that then?" he asked.
Suddenly this conversation made me think it was a bad idea to tell him anything, but he already understood enough.
"Yeah. Sometimes I think its jank that we're so far away. I mean, we were best friends but the glue keeping us together was Carly and as soon as she left, I left, too. And we were together, too. As in..."
"Boyfriend-girlfriend?" he said, finishing my sentence.
"Yeah," I sighed.
"Do you miss it?" he asked me. That completely caught me off guard.
"What?" I said stupidly.
"Do you miss being together?" elaborated Freddie.
"Well..."I trailed off, I wasn't really sure how to answer that, so I answered a question with a question. "Do you?"
The phone went silent for a moment. "Yeah, I do. I miss you being here Sam, whether from when we were together or just when being friends."
"I miss it too, and I miss you. Wow, I never thought I'd be saying this."
"Yeah, nor did I," Freddie replied. "Okay, Puckett, now what?"
"Well, for the moment we'll just have to rely on cell phones, but we'll visit each other soon. I gotta go in a minute though; Cat ordered food and I can smell it from here and my stomach is about to swallow my insides if I don't eat. I'll speak to you soon though. Later," I said.
"Nice image to put into my head...See ya, Puckett." And he hung up the phone.
I sighed contently. I had Freddie back in my life properly. I'd see him soon and we'd be together as friends or maybe something more. I just made a life out in LA though, so I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but we would sort something out. We always did.
I'm very quickly running out of ideas so I need your help to give me ideas of what I could do! Just review with a word that could be made into a fanfic or whatever! (Of course you'll be credited for it!) I only have about 3 more ideas so they'd be very helpful! Thanks!
Review!
