The Decisions We Make

A wish was granted just for me...

The third decision:

The next day:

Carlys POV:

I sit in my room and do my make-up when my mirror changes to a different screen.

It reads:

"Carly it's time to make your third decision, click the screen to continue."

I click the screen and it changes to another one that reads...

"This decision will be different, you get one wish use it wisely, type your wish and click next to confirm it."

I type in, I wish for a day with my dad and click next.

All of a sudden it's the following morning and my dad is yelling my name from the first floor of the apartment. And soon I had the perfect day with my dad.

Sam's POV:

I head home and as soon as I get there my mom yells at me and tells me how worthless I am and how Melanie is so much better than me.

I run to my room crying and trying to pace my breathing. I grab a fatcake from my bag and take a bite.

Freddie's POV:

I take a sip of my soulmate water. It tastes like Fatcakes. I wonder if this is what a fatshake tastes like, but of course with a different consistency than water, thicker and milkier.

I grab my guitar and strum. I'm interrupted by a text from Sam.

To Freddie:

Call me Freddie! I need help!

🥴Sam

I pick up the phone and call her. I hear the dial tone and then she picks up and all I hear through the phone is sobbing.

"Sam!" I says softly trying not to upset her even more.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"It's my mom." She says between sobs.

She continues, "She says I'm worthless and that Melanie is so much better than me and that I won't amount to anything."

"Sam..." I say, "take a deep breathe for me and remember the verse I told you Proverbs 6:25. Sam you are not worthless, you are more valuable than gold. You are a child of God. Remember who's daughter you are and stand tall and straighten your crown." I pause, "and Sam you are important to me. You are a valuable part of ICarly and you are my best friend."

She continues sobbing.

"Breathe for me, Sam." I say softly, "follow my breathing. We will do this together."

We breathe in and out slowly over and over until her breathing calms down.

"Are you ok?" I ask worried.

"Yes, I'm fine." She says hesitantly.

and then the phone goes silently and I hear the dreaded hang up beep.

I immediately grab my keys and head to Sam's house.

Sam's POV:

I finally catch my breathe and Freddie asks if I'm ok. I reply that I'm fine and hang up. I'm not fine not even close to it, but I want to be by myself until I can come up with a plan to get of this house.

My phone buzzes in my hand as I'm sitting in my room eating another fat cake. I automatically think it's a worried Freddie, but I look down and it says:

"Sam it's time to make your third decision, send next to continue."

I send next and automatically get another text back.

It reads:

"This decision will be different, you get one wish use it wisely, text back your wish to confirm it."

I think for a moment and then I type back "I wish I was never born." I click send.

I lose control of my breathing again and then I try to pace it again taking deep breathes. And then everything fades to black.
