Author's Note: Hey guys! Guess what? Yep, I'm finally updating this story! =D But I have sad news... this is the last chapter! ='(

But before we go on, I have to ask... OMG, did you guys watch iLost My Mind? I still can't believe it! Seddie is canon! *Does victory dance*

Okay, I'll stop now... XD

Disclaimer: Guess what? My name is not Dan Schneider, so I don't own iCarly. *sighs*

Enjoy! =)

Silence fell upon the two, and neither one of them seemed to want to be the one to speak up again for a long moment.

"Sam…" Freddie started, after a long moment of hesitation, but Sam didn't let him finish.

"No Freddie, please, don't even start, alright?" She said, still not looking at him.

"But-" She cut him off.

"Freddie, I mean it! I get it, you like someone else, no need to explain anything"

"What-"

"I heard you telling Carly that you liked someone else, there's no need to explain anything, okay?"

"Sam, are you really that blind?" Freddie exclaimed, and Sam finally looked up at him, with a confused look on her face.

"What do you mean, Benson?"

"Sam, the girl I said I like, is not 'someone else' " He said, as he rested one of his hands on her cheek and squeezed it gently with his thumb. "She's right here, in front of me" He said, but Sam quickly stood up.

"Freddie, I don't want your pity" She said, harshly, and he stood up too.

"Pity? Do you really think what I feel for you is pity?"

"And what else could it be? Freddie, how could you ever like a girl like me, who's always… beating you up, and calling you names and…and making you're life miserable-" She was interrupted by Freddie leaning in quickly and pressing his lips against hers.

At first, Sam froze in shock, but then, she let her lips melt against his. She couldn't help herself, the feeling of having his lips pressed against hers was just amazing. Freddie tried to put everything he felt for her in that kiss, he tried to show her how he really felt. He pulled her closer by wrapping his arms around her waist, and she slid hers around his neck. But then, after a few seconds, Sam finally found the strength to pull away, breathless. She took a few steps back, trying to keep a distance between Freddie and her.

"Sam, you really think I kissed you for pity?" He asked, annoyed with her stubbornness.

"And for what other reason could it be? I mean, you just couldn't have feelings for me Freddie, it just couldn't happen" She said, and he could hear the pain in her voice.

"Why not? Why does it seem so impossible to you?" Freddie asked, taking a step closer to the blonde.

"Why? Isn't it kind of obvious?" She asked, her voice full of disbelief, but he kept quiet, staring at her intensely, and she went on. "Maybe it's because we've hated each other ever since we met a few years ago, and I'm the girl who's always called you names, humiliated you in public, hurt you both physically and emotionally, and also made your life miserable every single day! How could you like someone like that Freddie?" She could feel that her eyes were about to tear up at any second, but she fought against it. No, she was Sam Puckett for ham's sake! She couldn't cry, not in front of Freddie! She wouldn't allow herself to do that, no! She was stronger than that.

"Sam, I never hated you, not really. At first, I thought you were a bully, but you know you've been one of my best friends since a long time ago. And I guess I got used to the name calling thing, and our fights. It kind of became… our thing"

"Freddie, don't try to fool yourself!" Sam snapped. "You're in love with Carly, you've always been!"

"Sam, I'm not in love with Carly! In fact, I've never really loved her, it was just a crush I had on her during sixth grade, but it's not here anymore, I don't like her that way anymore" He made a short pause, but before Sam could say anything, he went on "And Sam, any guy who wouldn't fall in love with you is seriously blind, because… because you're smart, you're determined, you're beautiful, every time you smile, it just makes people want to do the same, and when you laugh, it makes me feel awesome, and I want to laugh along with you. You're probably the strongest person I've ever met, but I know that even though you always try to look tough, I know that you care for the people you love, and without you, my life would never be the same, because even though you're always picking on me, I like it, and it just became our thing. Sam, I know you might not believe me, but I love you. I really do" Freddie said, and she finally looked up at him.

Sam couldn't believe in what she had just heard. Now she had no doubt about how Freddie felt. How could she doubt it, after that whole speech? And she could see he really meant that by simply looking into his eyes. But was it all real? Wasn't it all a dream? Because she was positively sure this couldn't happen in real life, it just couldn't…

But if it really was a dream, she didn't want to wake up.

Sam then approached Freddie one more time, and threw her arms around him. She hugged him tight, and after the shock wore off, Freddie responded by hugging her back. There was something Sam wanted to tell him, but it wasn't easy. It took her a few minutes to finally be able to say it out loud, because it was the first time she'd ever say something like that. She pulled away from Freddie slowly, and looked deep into his eyes.

"I love you too" She said, and she it felt so good to finally say that out loud.

Freddie smiled, and Sam felt her heart melt. He looked breathtaking when he smiled like that.

She smiled back, before leaning in and kissing him again, just like she had dreamed about doing for so much time.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sam and Freddie were sitting on the window edge a few minutes later, Sam's head resting on his left shoulder, and Freddie's hand playing with a lock of her golden hair.

"How did you know I was here?" She asked.

"Well… at first this place didn't even cross my mind, but... then I realized this was a good place for you to hide from everyone, you know… the only ones who know about what happened here are me and you so… I thought it was worth a shot" He answered, and the silence fell upon the couple. But it wasn't awkward, it actually felt… nice, just being there, enjoying each other's company.

Sam's eyelids started to weight after some time, and she slowly drifted off to sleep, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Freddie heard a real faint snoring sound, and when he looked down at Sam, he smiled as he noticed she was asleep. He wrapped one arm around her waist slowly, trying not to wake her up, and being careful to keep her head rested against his chest, he moved the other arm under her legs and picked her up, bridal style.

He sighed in relief when she didn't wake up, and silently walked down the hall back to Carly's apartment. He managed to use his elbow to push the doorknob down and open the door. Spencer was sitting in the kitchen counter, and as soon as he saw Freddie, he quickly stood up and ran towards him.

"What happ-" He started, but Freddie shot him a warning look, and then he finally realized that Sam was asleep. He pointed at the couch, and as Freddie laid Sam down on it slowly, still being careful not to wake her up, Spencer disappeared into the hallway, and when he came back, he was carrying a blanket, which he laid on top of Sam.

"Carly wanted to wait for news, but she fell asleep on the couch, so I took her upstairs" Spencer whispered, as the two of them walked to the kitchen, and Freddie nodded. "But anyway, was it difficult to find Sam? It seems it took you a long time"

"Yeah, at first I had no idea of where to find her, but then I just realized how obvious the place where she went was"

"And where was this 'obvious' place?"

"Uh… somewhere special" He answered smiling, and Spencer didn't ask more. Instead, he said he needed to lie down because he was tired and left the living room, heading to his room.

Freddie stared at Sam for a short moment, but suddenly her eyes shot open, and she looked around, before spotting Freddie standing in the kitchen.

"Hey…" She said lowly, looking around confusedly "How did I…?" She started, but didn't finish. She felt really sleepy.

"Get here? You fell asleep on the fire escape, so I carried you back here" He answered as he walked towards the couch where the blonde was now half sitting, resting on her elbows, and kneeled next to the couch.

"You carried me? Wow Benson, you're stronger than I thought" She said, smiling, and he chuckled. After that Sam yawned.

"You better rest a bit, you know" He said, kindly.

"You also need to. Didn't you stay out looking for me for a long time?" She said, smiling at him, and he smiled back as she laid back down slowly. But before he could stand up, she sat up again, leaned in and kissed him shortly on the lips. It was a short and sweet kiss, just like their first.

XXXXXXXXXX

Carly smiled at the sight of her two best friends. She had fallen asleep on the couch a few hours ago, but right after Spencer carried her upstairs to her room, she woke up, and was determined to stay awake until she heard from Sam.

Giving the two some privacy, she stood up from the stairs and climbed up to the second floor of the apartment silently, a smile still playing on her lips.
