I miss Freddie

When Freddie suddenly goes missing, Carly who now has a boyfriend she really loves and who really loves her she thinks back to all the romantic moments she had experienced with her best friend. Does she really still see Freddie as only a good friend or has developed feelings for her best friend that go beyond friendship and hasn't realized it just yet??

Chapter One: I can't concentrate on school

It's been now four days since Freddie apparently ran away from his home at Bushwell Plaza. Freddie's Mom, Marissa Benson had been a regular visitor of the police station in Seattle and because she came by so often she really got the officers very stressed. The Chief of the Station Edward Parker, had to assure Freddie's mother every time she visited, that all of the people that participated on the search of her missing son were doing their very best to find Freddie as quick as possible. Carly and Sam on the other hand handled the whole situation the best way they could, even Sam had always made fun of Freddie she and him were still best friends and as a best friend she was deeply concerned for the well being of her other best friend. At the moment Carly and Sam were both at school and had the second period for today which was Biology with Miss Davis, who would always give them a lot of homework to do what both girls and the most of the pupils in this class hated about this teacher very much. Carly couldn't really focus on school today, sure Freddie wasn't missing so long at the moment but she already feared that she might never see Freddie again and that thought sent chills up her spine.

It was obvious for Sam that Carly was very much concerned about the fact of Freddie disappearing so suddenly and also the question popped up in her head if Carly maybe had developed a crush on Freddie, after all the romantic moments the two "lovebirds" had shared together. But then she shook her head and thought to herself at the end of the second period with Miss Davis: * No! That can't be! Carly has rejected Freddie countless times in the past and now she is happy with Tom and Freddie seemed to be okay with that. That could only mean the Freddork has finally given up on the crush he had on Carly since the sixth grade but if that's really true, why would he disappear so suddenly without leaving any explanation behind for the once who love him like his two best friends and his mother?* Sam didn't know the answer to that question, but she was confident that she and Carly would find the answer soon. After Sam had left the class room with some of the other pupils Carly had already made her way to her locker, Sam stopped half way to the locker of her other best friend because she saw Carly already had company by her boyfriend Tom, so she made her way early to her next period French, even if she really hated the whole subject but she also couldn't stand the sight of that so called "boyfriend" of Carly Tom Parsons, who wasn't really interested in a serious relationship with a girl he only played with them and dumped them when they were getting too boring for him. Sadly Carly had been so blinded by his charms that she wouldn't listen to Sam's advice as her best friend what was really frustrating her.

Later that day school was finally over and both the girls were really glad, even if Carly had tried her best to hide her deep concern for Freddie's well being everybody around her knew how much she was concerned even her new boyfriend Tom even if she made her best happy face in front of him as she could, because she didn't want him to get the wrong idea, she just wanted to make sure that he knew that his girlfriend totally loved him and wasn't wasting any thoughts about other men. The two girls entered the Shay's apartment and found a unusal depressed Spencer sitting on the couch in the middle of the apartment and watching some TV instead of working on a new sculpture like he would always do. But it seemed like Freddie's sudden disappearance had also affected Carly's older brother very much, which was a little bit weird for Carly and Sam because they didn't knew that Freddie also meant very much to Spencer. Finally Spencer realized that the two girls were so he said: " Hey you two anything on Freddie?" He was also very concerned for the well being of Freddie, because all these years getting to know him better, watching him grow and getting mature he put the nice boy from next door quickly into the best friend category, he had enjoyed it very much conversing with Freddie a bit and also doing some stuff together with him, since his little sister didn't spent too much time with him anymore because of her new boyfriend. This boyfriend seemed to be a great guy, his little sister had told him how great he looked and what gentleman he was. Spencer just hoped that he wouldn't break Carly's heart and he still hoped that maybe someday Freddie and his little sister would get together as a couple, because he thought that the two were totally meant for each other but it seemed that wasn't Carly's opinion and Freddie had probably given up on her.

Sam was the one that answered, because Carly was too caught up in her own thoughts for the moment: " No, the police is still searching and they haven't found anything that could help them to find Freddie." Then a small tear threatened to escape from one of Sam's cheek, but before that could happen she quickly wiped it away with one sleeve of her pullover. Carly had seen the tear in her eye and that nearly made her cry too but before that could occur, she quickly said: "Sorry guys, I'm going to go upstairs to my room and lay down a little bit, cause I'm not feeling so well."

Spencer and Sam were now deeply concerned, what you could see in their eyes as they both looked at Carly and then Spencer said: "Ok, and if you need anything just let me know and I'll be right be your side." Before getting up the flight of stairs to her room Carly said: "Thx Spence and Sam you can stay here overnight if you want." After Sam had nodded in response Carly finally got upstairs to her room and tried her best to not practically run up the stairs. As she finally reached her room she collapsed on her bed and a lot of tears came down her face, making the make up she had put on this morning running all over her face, but at this time she didn't really care about that all she cared about at the moment was to see Freddie again. As she had finally calmed down again she thought back to a very romantic moment between her and Freddie which was six months ago.

Flashback

Freddie was laying in his bed and Carly was wandering around in his room a little bit after she had helped him to get out of the shower, after he had fallen in it. Of course Carly had blindfolded herself before she got in the shower because after all Freddie was showering naked. After she had finally gotten him out of the shower, he was now laying in his bed again. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence between them Carly finally said: "Everyone in school says that you are a hero." Sure Carly was very grateful that Freddie had put himself in harms way to save her life, but when she looked now at Freddie laying in his bed badly hurt because of the injuries he had suffered when he rescued Carly from a collision with a taco truck, she wished that it was her instead being hurt and laying in bed. Then Freddie answered: "feeling like one." Carly couldn't believe what she just had heard and at the first moment she had the urge to scream at Freddie and tell him to stop playing this incredible thing down he had done for her.

And then she said: "But you are one…to me" Then she came very close to Freddie and she kissed him softly on his lips. At first Freddie was very shocked by this but he finally kissed her back. This was the moment he had been waiting for since he fell in love with Carly at the sixth grade and he was so consumed in this wonderful moment that he didn't thought about the reasons why this whole thing happened now.

The two teenagers were too busy with kissing each other, so that they didn't noticed Freddie's mother coming back home and walking right into the room of her son. What she saw there shocked her so she only got out he words: "Freddie I brought you some.." . As Freddie and Carly heard Miss Benson was now in the same room with them they just screamed in panic. As Miss Benson finally had composed herself again she said: "What the yuck??" Carly quickly moved away a little bit from Freddie's bed and then said in a panicky voice: "Nothing! Nothing! I was testing his temperature see??" Before Freddie could say anything she quickly put one of her thumbs in his mouth, quickly got it out and the continued: "1.6 so nothing to worry about."

But didn't look like Marissa Benson was buying this answer, so she opened one drawer of Freddie's closet and got underwear from his son out of it and as Carly got to Freddie's door Marissa beat Carly with it. Then Freddie said: "Carly don't leave." Carly who was still standing in Freddie's doorway and was beaten by Freddie's mom with his underwear then said: "She's beating me with your underwear! Then she finally got out of Freddie's apartment and was really embarrassed by the whole situation that had just happened. Right before Carly had gotten into her apartment, Sam stopped her and said: "Is everything okay with you?"

"Yes I'm fine". Carly answered and then slowly got her keys out of her pocket and quickly went inside. She closed the door behind her, but quickly opened it again and said: "I just kissed Freddie" and then she quickly shut the door again. Sam was speechless she couldn't believe that Carly had really kissed Freddie and as longer she thought about that the more she wanted to puke.

End Flashback

The thought of the kiss with Freddie after he had saved her live made her smile even it wasn't the biggest one, but that one moment with Freddie was sure one of that many moments she wouldn't forget ever. Then she closed her eyes and finally drifted off to sleep because the whole crying had taken a lot of energy out of her.

Flashback

Carly and Freddie participated in speed dating event at the Groovy Smoothie but the dates didn't went the way both of them expected, so the two of them ended up alone in the Groovy Smoothie after Carly had finally gotten rid of a guy that didn't let her finish one sentence the whole time. Then Freddie broke the silence between them: "So then there was just the two of us."

"Yeah thank god." Carly said very relieved because her date was finally gone and she was really happy to be alone with Freddie now. He was a guy she could totally trust and he was always there for her when she needed him the most, and because of that she was very glad to have someone like him as a best friend.

Freddie thought that now was the right time and maybe the only opportunity to ask the girl of his dreams to dance with him. As he had finally mustered up all his courage he said: "Don't you think that we deserve one dance with the person, we don't want to kill?" Anxiously he then waited for Carly's response and really hoped that she would say yes but he wouldn't be mad at her if she would say no. Carly shortly thought about Freddie's question and then said: "Absolutely!" Then they both got up form their seats and slowly danced right in the middle of the Groovy Smoothie, as T-Boo had turned up the music a little bit.
