Chapter 24/Onward Soldiers

"We can't tell anyone, not yet." Sam muttered subconsciously as she pulled away from the kiss for a moment in time.

Freddie frowned reluctantly, and pulled back for a moment. "W-why not?" He asked in confusion. Sam exhaled and drew back even further, the space created between them now felt like a million miles. "cause its too soon." She replied all to simply thinking Freddie had understood that.

He had, but not up until that moment. His lips parted and an "Oh" came out. "I mean… you… you get that right?" Sam clarified now parting a distance between them. Freddie nodded. "I guess." He exhaled in slightly disappointment.

"Okay then."

"Yeah."

Sam leaned back in and began to kiss him once more, and for a moment it was great. But it was short lived and after a minute Freddie pulled away once again. "W-what do you mean by, it's too soon exactly?"

The blond frowned and gave him a puzzled look. There was a couple moments of silence before Freddie began to speak up and asks her to let it go after seeing Sam's perplexed expression. "Never mind, I just—" But she cut him off.

"No," She swallowed uneasily. "do you want this?" She asked softly, pointing between them. Freddie nodded. "Of course I want this!—" "then what the hell is the problem if we wait a little to tell everyone?!" Sam nearly exploded, now getting off the bed.

Freddie had a perfectly good reason to why he was so opposed to her suggestion. But he didn't speak up and watched her as she fought her own battle.

Sam was now pacing around the hospital room, rejection and failure twisted through her veins in a sense of betrayal as she spoke. "I think—ugh, I just wanna wait, I just this to be our own thing for a little while!" She struggled with her reasoning. She knew why she didn't want to let everyone know about them; it was clearly too soon—their emotions had gotten the best of the once again.

"I… I just don't want to waste anymore time." Freddie mumbled nearly in coherently. Sam froze, her body relaxing in the very place she stood, her eyes pinned themselves on his and exhaled in exhaustion realizing what he ad meant.

"We're not." She began to explain, shaking her head in the process.

"W-what are we Freddie? I-I don't even know… do you?" This was a question not meant for answering for Freddie remained silent.

…

Carly watched as the two fought inside the hospital room throughout the glass from afar. But she didn't want to interrupt them, she missed this… them, begin themselves.

"Watchya doing kiddo?" Spencer asked as he approached from behind. Carly smiled and shrugged. "Just watching." She stated simply. Spencer looked inside the room and let out a soft chuckle as the saw the two fighting inside. "I guess something's never change hu?" He said as he guided his little sister into the room.

"Guess not." Carly said.

"What's wrong now?" Spencer asked Sam and Freddie as they entered the hospital room. But as soon as they walked in, the room seemed to be overtaken by silence. Sam stopped shouting and Freddie shut his mouth, both, not wanting to let their secret out.

"What is going on in here?" Carly then asked suspiciously feeling the atmosphere.

"Non-Nothing." Sam let out quickly, then replaced her frown with a smile to connive the two Shay siblings.

Carly eyed both of them suspiciously for a moment before shaking it off and changing the subject. She would remind herself to ask Sam about it later.

…

"We're not wasting out time Freddie." Sam explained softly, they were alone again, for Marisa had gotten busy with some paperwork and Sam had sent Carly off to get her something just for the intent to get her out of the room so they could finish their pervious conversation.

"We're together… everything's normal… kind of."

"Oh, so now we're together hu?" Freddie teased her as one of his eyebrows shot up with a smile. Sam rolled her eyes in near annoyance. "I hu, I didn't know it had been decided." He continued.

"Well, It has. By me." She approached his bed and made herself comfortable next to him as she spoke cockily.

"But like I said; we're not wasting time if we don't tell anybody—"

"Yes but—" Freddie attempted to intervene and get her point across but Sam cut him off the finish her sentence.

"Ah ah ah! Let me finish Freddison. I'm not asking for a month for secrecy or something here… I'm simply asking that for the time being… we can keep this to ourselves—"

"I understand Sa—"

"Freddie! I'm asking for a few days—a week at tops! Can get just stop arguing and be civil for a minute?!" Sam nearly shouted, but she did it with a confidant smile, and in the end it was that which helped Freddie make his mind up.

He sighed and relaxed further into the bed, nodding. "Fine—I'm tired of fighting things… I just want to relax—It doesn't even matter anymore."

"Really?" Sam beamed at him. Freddie nodded. "As long as we stop fighting, really." He explained.

This time it was Freddie who leaned in for a kiss. No hesitation—no warning. Just pure passion—lust in the moment.

Sam exhaled sharply in content as they broke apart and leaned against his side, feeling the warmth of his body ratite onto her's—the effect was lulling—almost pulling her to sleep. It also didn't help that she cuddled her body against his in the process, but she didn't care if she fell asleep, because at least more once these past few weeks she can say she'll get a good night's sleep in the arms of the boy who loves her.

"I love you, ya know that?" She mumbled as she traced the outline of his arm soothingly. The atmosphere quickly lightened allowing room for light airway comments and calming mumbles of comfort.

Freddie nodded. "I can feel it." He said.

"I love you too Sam."

…
