Sam's pov

I haven't seen, skyped, texted, or even talked to Freddie after yesterday's incident. He just seened me in all my text messages today and when I got home, I left when he was still at Carly's place.. I guess he was busy comforting her. I-I shouldn't be be overthinking this, Freddie comforts people who need it..

I arrive at the Shay's apartment to hear someone open the door from behind me, it was Freddie. He wrapped his arms around me, atleast this is a bit better than yesterday. "Hey cuteness" he says, "Hey nub" I greeted him, "Sorry I couldn't answer your calls and text you back last night, I was tired" he explained, I can understand that but couldn't he have atleast reacted to my texts. "It's whatever.. let's just go inside" I shrug and opened the door to see Carly on the floor eating ice cream, this girl... there's a couch right there.

"You know you can't just eat ice cream and not sit on the couch" Sam uttered, Carly looked at her with puppy dog eyes, it doesn't really work on her.. the only puppy dog eyes she gives in to are Freddie's, Cat's, and Jade's eyes. Yes, Jade.. for someone very intimidating, she can give good puppy dog eyes that works on anyone, though it sometimes rarely works on Sam. When Cat gives her eyes it always works on Sam.. actually.. on everyone. "Carls, those puppy dog eyes don't work on me" Sam implied, "I know.. *sigh*.. I need water" Carly stood up, Freddie bolts to get water for her, "It's okay, you don't need to. Here you go" he said, "Um.. thanks Freddie" Carly thanked him. Sam tried so hard not to be jealous, "He's just helping a friend who just got cheated on. Don't overthink things" was all in her mind, yet.. she feels.. something unusual. Freddie had blushed a bit towards Carly.

Sam's pov

There was still something in him that still definitely has feelings for Carly. It's obvious, he likes brunettes for a fact, he likes prissy girls.. no offense to Carly, he likes girls who doesn't tease him or hit him.. I think.. s-so then.. why did he choose me? It makes no sense to me, I mean yeah we're soulmates, he said all those things to me at prom that nobody has ever said to me before but.. why me? He never liked blondes, he doesn't like my habits, I was never in my life all prissy except for that one time with Pete.. but naturally, I never was naturally all girly.. so why me? We have always hated each other.

Sam was now just sitting on the couch, still in thought just staring at her phone. "I should uh, freshen myself up.. I still haven't taken a bath" Carly walks upstairs, Spencer walks out of his room, "Hey, how's Carly?" he asked, "Doing a bit well, still kinda moody though" Freddie replied, "Okay, well.. tell her I'm going to the Groovy Smoothie. I'll see you later" Spencer walked out the apartment. Sam was just watching girly cow, she laid her head on Freddie's lap.. Freddie was surprised a bit then he started playing with her hair. They weren't talking to each other, it wasn't awkward.. but to them, it was comfortable and they didn't mind.

Carly's pov

Did I really love Griffin? Or was it just because we were soulmates? Maybe I was just too relationship obsessed that I never thought of what a relationship really is like. Now that I see my past relationships, it was all just a lie.. I liked Jake because he was popular and cute, I liked Shane because he was handsome, I liked Austin because he liked the same things I liked, I liked Adam because he was cute, charming, hot, and a senior, then Lance and I never worked out.. I also liked him because he was also cute and he always complimented me, then Griffin.. well now I know how that ended up.. I liked him because he was a bad boy, he had abs, and he had scars which made him look so hot, and then there was.... *pause*.. F-Freddie.. I just dated him because he saved my life from that taco truck incident I think, I mean yeah he cared for me and he used to like me but now he's dating Sam and heck she's his soulmate. Sam's right, I shouldn't be crying over Griffin, he was a jerk, he only liked me so I could have sex with him the NEVER happened because he didn't wait for me to be ready, I only liked him because he was a bad boy and he was hot, I realized he never said atleast an "I love you" to me or even an "I like you", we didn't have anything in common, I even broke up with him because of his peewee babies, I just went back to him because there was a timer.. and because he was just my soulmate...

"I-I should go check on Carly" Freddie stood up and walked upstairs, Sam nods.. "Um.. baby, do you maybe want to go ice skating with me tomorrow afternoon?" she asked, Freddie furrowed his brows in disappointment, "I'm sorry Sammy I can't. I promised Carly that I'll play tennis with her tomorrow afternoon to get her mind off things" he replied, Sam's lungs felt tight "O-oh okay.. I'll just meet with Joel tomorrow to catch up.." she nods, Freddie runs up the stairs to go check on Carly.

Yup.. hearing those words might've poked me a bit, ugh God why am I feeling like this? He's a nub Sam! I never felt like this before, why am I feeling it now? I know he's just looking out for Carly but honestly I don't know anymore if it's just looking out for her or it's a new developing crush. I can't believe I'm moping over a nub that I used to rip on.. w-well a nub that I l-love. I can say it in my mind, I can say it in my scripts, my notes, writings, to some only few people.. actually only 3 people.. Cat, Jade, and Beck.. as brotherly love of course! Beck is like my big brother. So how come I can't say it to my soulmate? To my boyfriend.. to the only one that I have kissed. If I say those three words, will it make our relationship stronger or something? I mean I guess it does but.. it's hard to say it! Dammit, I must be high or something.. did I drink anything? I may be rebellious and abrasive but I have principals, I'd never do drugs. I should just go home..

Sam walks out the apartment, she bumps into Mrs. Benson. "Oh, hello Sam. Is my Freddie there?" Mrs. Benson asked, "Um, yeah. He's inside" Sam answered, she nods and walks passed Mrs. Benson, she heard her take a sharp breath while her footsteps were fading. Mrs. Benson walked inside her apartment.

*With Carly and Freddie*

"Hey, how you holding up?" Freddie went in to see Carly fixing her hair, he blushed a bit.. "I'm doing better, I realized that I shouldn't cry over a jerk like Griffin.. and I'm ready to get back on my feet!" Carly smiled and placed her hands on her hips, "Atta girl. So, tomorrow.. we playing tennis?" Freddie asked, "Yup we are" Carly nods and the two of them walk down to not see Sam there, "Sam was here awhile ago..." Freddie furrowed his brows in concern, "Maybe she had to do something she forgot.. Now come on, let's watch some girly cow" Carly grabbed his wrist and they watch girly cow.
