I know I said it would only take a day or two, I'm so so so so sorry! I've been so caught up in writing my New Girl fanfiction and I've also been rewatching all of the One Tree Hill episodes, so I haven't had time to do this. But it was promised, so here it is! Enjoy(: Oh! And by the way, this is basically a recap chapter, explaining everything that has happened in the past 3 months, leading up to one shocking cliffhanger!

It's been 3 months since me and Sam have officially been together. Summer is over and we're now back in school. Junior year. When the people at school found out about us it got a little crazy. Like the fan war that happened at webicon last year. The school was divided in half: Those who wanted me and Carly to get together, were pretty angry at me and Sam, but they were very nice to Carly, telling her that she'll get her chance someday. She laughed in all of their faces, telling them that she was with Gibby and that wasn't going to change any time soon. Those that wanted Sam and I together, well, they were so happy, they felt the need to tell us how cute we are together every single time they saw us in the hallway. Both sides were annoying the hell out of us.

It was even worse when we told the world about us, although it seemed that the majority of the fans liked us together, there was still some that like 'Creddie' better. Our ratings went down a little bit, but it was nothing drastic. It just proved that there were some idiots who weren't watching for the comedy. They didn't deserve to watch anyway, as Sam had said. But we still get comments from the Seddie haters asking when it was okay to watch again. It took all of Sam's willpower not to hunt them down and kill them in their sleep. I know that for sure.

"I can't take it anymore!" Sam shouted one day as she walked into Carly's apartment, startling Spencer, Gibby and Carly who were all on the couch. I was at the island on the computer, but she had texted me before coming over, so I knew that she was on her way over, I just forgot to let the others know.

"Oh my god, Sam! You scared the hell out of us!" Carly screamed and Gibby and Spencer nodded their heads frivolously.

"Sorry, I don't know why though, since I'm like always here." She shouted back, walking over to me and sitting on the bar stool next to mine.

"Well lately you've been barging into Freddie's instead of my place, so it's been a while." She yelled back, Gibby and Spencer still looking a little scared.

I just sat at my bar stool and enjoyed the Carly-Sam banter. I wonder if this is how Carly used to feel when Sam and I argued. Not that we don't anymore, because, trust me, we do. But it's different now. Instead of ending with a slap, it ends with a kiss. Our arguments don't last as long, either. One look in her eyes and I'm ready to give up my side and let her win. "Well, you can't blame me. Anyway, I can't take all of these glares I'm getting. They're almost worse than the praise I've been getting. It's been a month since me and Freddie have told everyone, when will they get used to it?" She practically screamed.

"Get used to it, they're still not used to me and Carly together, which was a much bigger deal than you guys. They're confuzzled." Gibby said matter-of-factly.

"I didn't ask you Merman!" She screamed at him, I could see that his advice made her even angrier. I reached over and grabbed her hand, and saw the slightest smile come across her face, but just as quickly as it came, it was gone. She didn't like the PDA, even around everyone else that she loved. A kiss here and there would happen, and that made me feel so special, but it was also very rare.

"I am not a Merman!" He screamed back, and Carly just grabbed onto his arm to make him calm down. Spencer was staying quiet, though. He's told me before that he was a Seddie shipper. My guess is that he doesn't want to say anything on the topic because he doesn't want to say something that will make Sam angry at me.

I took a tighter grip on her hand and pulled her up, dragging her over to my apartment. "We'll be back." I shouted to them, but they didn't need an explanation. Sam didn't even say anything about this, which kind of shocked me, but I wasn't about to ask her about why she was being so quiet.

When we got to my apartment I pulled her right into my room, not wanting to hear my mother, since she wasn't the biggest fan of Sam. She sat down on my bed and I stood in front of her, waiting for her to talk. "Freddie, I don't know if I can do this anymore." She practically whispered.

I felt a large pang in my heart, but it was gone just as quickly as it came. "Sam, I don't believe that for a second. You've never let people get to you before, so why now?" I asked her, a slight smile on my face.

"Because they're annoying the shit out of me!" She screamed, standing up.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, not letting her go anywhere. "Ignore them." I whispered in her ear. "I love you. You love me. We can't let annoying people get in the way of our love story." She didn't respond, she just wrapped her arms around me, allowing me to pull her in tighter, as close as possible. He silence frightened me, but then I remembered that she's still not used to this vulnerability, so I ignored it. "I love you, I love you, I love you." I whispered over and over again in her ear.

A couple of weeks ago, my mom warmed up to the idea of me and Sam. It only took about 2 and a half months, which kind of shocked me. I thought it would take a lifetime. My mother has never really liked Sam to begin with. She didn't want us to be friends, much less in the same room as each other. She's always seen her as a bad influence to me. But one night she pulled me aside in the kitchen and told me that she saw us together and she believed it now. Apparently, she'd been spying on us to try and prove that she was just using me. But she explained to me that she saw her hugging me on the anniversary of my father leaving, a day that I always cry. I try to tell myself not to cry, not to let my ass of a father get to me. But I always do. He always does.

She while I was crying on the fire escape, Sam had found me. We didn't say anything to each other, she just wrapped her arms around me and let me cry on her shoulder for as long as I wanted to.

"I can see that she loves you, Freddiebear. Go be happy." My mom said to me as she hugged me. I smiled. I didn't need her permission, but it felt good to see her finally accepting it.

She's made a habit of sneaking over to my apartment late at night and sleeping with me. Not sex, well, not always sex. Most of the time, she just comes in and we sleep. It always amazes me how sweet she is when she doesn't even try. Every night it happens, I hold onto her as tight as I can, not wanting to even risk her leaving my side. Tonight, she came in as she always does, and cuddled right up to my side and I felt different. A better different. I never wanted her to leave my side. I want her to sleep with me every night for the rest of our lives. "Sam." I whispered.

"Yeah?" She responded sleepily.

"I love you."

She gave a little giggle, she giggle that I love so much. "I love you too."

I sat up to get a better look at her. I was hovering over top her, and staring down at her made me even more sure of how I feel. "I love you so much and I never want to leave you. I never want you to leave me. So marry me. I want to be like this forever."

So? Shocked? Like I said, I've been rewatching One Tree Hill, if you've ever seen it, you'll know that Nathan and Haley got married at 16. But no worries, I'm not going to copy their relationship, it's going to be very very different. Review and tell me what you think!
