"Carly!"

The door to the Shays' apartment opens and hits the wall with a loud thud, surprising Freddie who had just stood up and was about to make his way out to try to look for her.

"Freddie!" She says, sounding relieved. There was Sam in front of him, her curls all messy and sticking to her face. She's panting, trying to catch her breath. What had she been doing?

"Sam? God, I was wondering where you went, it's been like, thirty minutes since you went down to the store to buy ham-"

"I love you!"

Freddie's face is one of shock - but then he realizes something and it turns to one of sadness, but he doesn't want her to see him weak just so that she could make fun of him again. His expression settles with amusement. He tells himself that she's just messing with him, once again.

"I love you too, you're my bestfriend," he says, smirking his usual lopsided smile, feeling all good about himself for being a step ahead of her this once.

"No, not like that," she says, seriousness in her features. Freddie notices that the front door is still wide open, and that she is still panting. "I'm in love with you," she says slowly and seriously, staring into his eyes and making sure the idea gets to him.

His eyes show her pure shock, and then they turn happy. And then he feels really stupid for thinking that Sam was messing around. "Really?"

"Yeah, really!" She practically shouts. He doesn't understand why she seems so much in a rush, but that didn't really matter.

"Well," he says, stepping nearer to her, "I'm in love with you, too." They're staring into each other's eyes and each pair tells the other that the other is being sincere and is telling the truth.

"Really?" She asks, hopeful.

"Really," he confirms, smirking at her. She's looking into him, and he's looking into her, and all Sam can feel is the warm and fuzzy feeling of relief spreading through her body.

She sighs and closes her eyes, contented. "That's great...it's all I could ask for..." she mumbles before collapsing into his arms unexpectedly.

Carly had been watching for a while now, being a bystander as her friends confessed their feelings for one another. She did see it coming, and she's glad they've finally realized it and told each other. But now she's bounding down the stairs, hurriedly standing next to Freddie.

"What happened?" She asks, panic in her eyes.

"I don't know," Freddie replies, holding Sam's limp body, looking at the girl's peaceful and smiling expression.

"Oh no..." he mutters as he sees the bloodstain getting larger on her hoodie. He turns her around as he and Carly gasp in shock at what they see. The whole back of her hoodie is bloody and there's a hole through her shirt, which - which could only mean -

"Spencer!" Carly calls in complete panic. Her brother comes out of his room, holding a screwdriver and a hammer. "What did I do this time?"

"Nothing! It's Sam! Look!" They turn her to show Spencer. Spencer gasps as Carly explains, "I think she's been shot!" and Spencer runs to the telephone, screaming, "We have to call 911!"
