Burning red

A party and a kiss

                        Carly's POV

It's Sunday night and I'm going to try and help cat out and see what's going on with Sam. Every Sunday night, Sam and I try and catch up on our week. It's something we started doing months ago. It really helps us stay close. This time I'm going to question her about that kiss with Jade.

We sat at our kitchen table with some spaghetti tacos that I made. "So how was your week Carls?" Sam asked taking a big bite out of the taco. "It was great. I think Noah really likes me. He keeps being so sweet and talking to me."

"Yes! Get that boy!" Sam said hyping me up. "Hey you got more spaghetti? Mama likes these tacos." Sam said getting up looking around. Usually when it was just Sam and I she was always herself. In love with food and very talkative. "Yeah on the stove there's more."

"Awesome."

"Anyway. What about you?" I asked now grabbing a taco. "Eh the usual. Homework I don't do and lots of burritos." She then sat back down with her plate. "What about that kiss with Jade." She took a bite out of the taco and spoke with her mouth full. "What about it?"

"I've seen you kiss Freddie before. It was never with as much passion as with Jade."

"Carls, it was just a simple dare." She said grabbing a napkin. "Sam. Be honest." I didn't fall for it one bit. "Okay fine. I think I might like someone and Jade has caught on with it so she only dared me to do that cause she thought I would pick that person but I wanted to mess with her and do something she would never expect." She said super fast.

"So you're into a girl?" I asked with a smile. "Yes, maybe? I don't know. I don't understand these feelings." Sam really seemed lost. "Well maybe you should try and say it out loud instead of in your head. I'm going to ask you a simple yes no question and you will answer it honestly." She nodded. "Do you like girls?"

"Yes."

She winced as if the roof was about to collapse on us. I gave her a smile to show I was proud of her for saying it out loud. "This is only between us right?" She asked looking concerned. "Yes I promise."

I know I told cat I'll try and find out but I can't betray my best friend like that. I want Sam to feel ready when she knows she's ready.

Just then my phone buzzed. "Oh Tori texted." I grabbed my phone and checked what she said. "School was canceled because of a plumbing issue! She wants to throw a party tonight. Wanna come?" I asked Sam hoping she would say yes. "Sure." Sam usually loved to party but ever since we moved she has not really been herself.

Sam's POV

We showed up at Tori's door. Man this girl throws a lot of party's. I didn't really want to come but I knew Carly would've wanted me too. Maybe I can try and get my mind off of things here.

We walked in and immediately were greeted by everyone. We were well known by everyone because of icarly. I didn't know if I loved it or hated it. I went straight to the kitchen to get myself a beer. But today they had some shots set up. "These for anyone?" I asked some guy standing by them. "Yep help yourself."

I took two shots then grabbed myself a beer bottle and sat down on the porch. I usually loved parties but today I'm just not feeling it. I popped open the bottle and took a sip as I felt the breeze go through my blond hair.

"Hey." I heard a voice behind me. I turned to see Cat standing there. "Oh hey." I said looking back at the view in front of me. "You doing alright?" She asked now coming to sit by me.

"Yeah I'm okay. Just not in the party mood."

"Me either."

Cat also seemed a little off. "Cat come here!" I heard a voice yell from inside. "I'll be right back." She got up and walked away. Just then this random guy came outside and took cats place. "Hey Sam." It bothers me that everyone knows my name but I don't know theirs. "Uh hey?"

"You look really hot tonight."

"Thanks dude."

He gave me a gentle smile. "My names Daniel." He said. "I know you don't know me but I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go somewhere a little more private." Ew I just met this guy. "Uh I don't know you Daniel." He then leaned and kissed me on the lips. I shoved him off and went inside.

Gross. Why are guys like this. I grabbed four beers and went outside the front door to drink them. I didn't feel like coming back inside so I made sure I grabbed enough for me to have.

I pretty much chugged all of them within five minutes which is honestly concerning. I just wanted to go home.

Just then everything sort of turned to a blur

Cats POV

I couldn't find Sam anywhere. I told her I'd be right back.

"Wassup party people!" I heard someone yell coming inside. "Party!" The person screamed rushing to the kitchen. Everyone else cheered for them as they stood on the counter taking back to back shots. I walked through the crowd of people to see who it was only to realize it was Sam.

Oh my god. Where's Carly? I then saw her behind me with the same look that I had. I rushed up to her concerned. "Hey! What's wrong with her?" I asked. " she definitely drank too much. This is why I never let her drink." Carly said. "Well should we go get her and bring her home?" I asked. "Um. When she drinks like this she's not exactly easy to get ahold of." What's that supposed to mean.

I walked away from Carly and saw sam going outside to the pool. "Let's go skinny dipping!" She screamed. Everyone started to get excited and ripping their clothes off. I can't let Sam do this. She got up on a big rock and started to take her shirt off. I seen her before without her shirt but i still didn't want to take my eyes off of her.

She then took her pants off and jumped into the pool. I need to take her home. I ran over and jumped in right behind her. "Sam come on let's go home." I said grabbing her wrist.
"You're pretty." She said grabbing my hair and twirling it. Oh my god she's so drunk right now. This is not good. "No sam stop. We need to leave." She then grabbed my face and got real close to me. "You're bossy. I like that." She was so close and it was giving me butterflies.

I can't kiss her though. She's too drunk. But before I could say anything else, I felt her lips touch mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in close. I didn't expect this to be the way we first kissed but I definitely did not want this kiss to end.

Just then she broke the kiss and grabbed my wrist. "Come on red let's take this somewhere else." My heart was beating so fast. I couldn't believe what was happening. I can't let Sam do anything stupid. "No sam. I'm bringing you home now. I dragged her out the pool and took a towel from Tori's shelf. I wrapped her up and grabbed her clothes off the ground.

We walked inside and I spotted Carly standing by the door holding her keys. I dragged Sam to the front door as she was giggling. "Come on Carly." I said as I walked out.

Once we got to their place, I brought sam to her room. I didn't want her to stay in her wet clothes but I also didn't feel like I should change her. I asked Carly and she said she'd held me.

We both changed her and put her in a big t-shirt and laid her in bed. By this point she was fully knocked out. Both Carly and I walked out her room and closed the door.

"Should I stay?" I asked concerned. "To help Sam with her hangover. Absolutely. She's real cranky. Plus every time she drinks this much, she never remembers anything." Carly added now plopping onto their couch. "You know she kissed me. When I went into the pool to get her. She was too drunk to know what she was doing though." I said now sitting down too. "Wow really!" Carly got excited interested to hear more. "Yeah but she won't remember. I don't think I should tell her."

"Maybe you can mention it in like a few days. But Sam has always been the most honest when she's drunk. I think that should tell you something."

Carly then gave me a smile and got up. "I'm gonna go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow morning." She walked into her room and closed the door. I got up and walked into Sam's room. I grabbed some clothes to change into and laid right next to her. I usually slept next to her due to there not being to many places for me to sleep.

Did Sam really mean to kiss me?
