Summary: "Oh, Carly," I whispered. "I understand." ;Carly/Sam;





	iNeed You

(Carly's POV)

Facing Sam today was harder than I'd thought it'd be. There was newfound tension in the air. Sam was giving me a definite cold shoulder, and I didn't know why. What I did know, though, was much more obscured. I was attracted to Sam. Yes, in _that _way. It felt so wrong-because she was my best friend-but so right.

I'd never been attracted to girls before Sam came along, at least not with this intensity. Sure, there'd been a cutie or two at school, but once I learned they had boyfriends, nothing came of my desire. It didn't upset me to learn that Sam was single. Of course, the just-friends side of me felt bad for her. But that other side? It wanted to make her feel better…in a way I felt would be impossible for anyone but me.

As if summoned by my aching desire, my phone began to ring. I glared balefully at it, burying my face in my pillow. The tears I had been waiting to release all day finally began to flow. I glanced at the call display through blurred vision as rough sobs tore out of my throat.

_Sam calling_. Oh, God. With shaking fingers, I pressed talk, controlling my sniffles.

"Hello?"

"Carly?" Hearing Sam's voice caused fresh tears to flow. It hurt, hearing that high pitched lit. Putting a knife through my chest would have the same effect. I could not speak.

"Carly, you're crying. What's wrong?" She sounded so worried. It was killing me to hold it inside. I couldn't do it.

"Sam," I sobbed, my voice hushed, "what I'm about to tell you might destroy our friendship. I can't do it over the phone. " Her breath was heavy in my ear. Was she holding back sobs of her own?

"I'll be right over."

(Sam's POV)

I burst into Carly's bedroom. She was alone, crying into her pillow. Who had left her like this? Seeing my best friend and long-time crush lying there, vulnerable, shook me to my core. She didn't know I was a lesbian. I had never told her-or anybody else.

Carly practically yanked me onto her bed. "Sam," she whimpered, her eyes wild and red. I quietly wrapped my arms around her, stroking her hair with a feather-light touch. "Carly? Carls? Talk to me." I could feel her shuddering beneath me, breaking along an internal fault line. Her next words came out in a rush, spoken from somewhere low in her throat.

"I'm gay, Sam," she wailed. I jerked back in shock, but quickly returned my gaze to hers, knowing she had something else to say. "And..I've always loved you." Her breathing was heavy, hitched with fear. "I'm so sorry." Carly dropped her eyes to the floor, clearly ashamed. Two splotches of color bloomed on her perfect cheeks.

"Oh, Carly," I whispered. "I understand." Carly screamed then, one long moan of frustration. "How? How could you possibly understand?!" I pressed my lips against hers, tentatively at first. "Let me show you."

Her lips opened against mine. She was sobbing again, her tears colliding with mine. "See?" I murmured around kisses. "I do understand, Carls…because you complete me." Carly nodded against my chest. "I was so afraid," she sobbed. "So afraid….Sam?"

I was lost in her kisses. "Mm?"

She smiled.

"I love you."

"I love you more."
