"If I could I would."

Summary: I was bored, this ins't my normal Fraphne stories. lol This one is more sad.

Fred's POV

"The engagment's off!" I said as I walked away from the drop dead beautiful red-head, who getting tears in her eyes. I felt a horrible feeling inside my heart that night, as I walked away from my life time best friend. I could hear her beg for anyone to stop me from leaving. Nothing or anyone could have kept me from leaving Crystal Cove. If Daphne couldn't no one could. Everything happened so fast. I guess I didn't think clearly. All a sudden everything &everyone seemed like a big lie to me. I'm not sure why, looking back onto that night, I feel so stupid for leaving. I left my friends, I spilt the gang apart, I called off my own engagment! If I could I would have done entirely differnet! I'd hold Daphne close to me & tell her we're stronger as a team & that we would leave Crystal Cove together. Away from the Freak, away from her parents! We'd get away from it all! But, no I left, I told her I didn't need her. I was so so wrong. I do need her, I did need her, I still need her. The journey to find them was an epic fail. It doesn't even matter to me anymore! All I want is Daphne back. I haver her photo with me 24/7. Right by my side, always have for the past two years. She was my everything & I was her hero. And I let her down.

As I'm driving now I can barely stand to wait! I'm going home! I'm headed to Crystal Cove! First place I plan on going is to my dearest best friend, Daphne Ann Blake! I'll stop by her house & it's well worth the risk of getting knocked out by Mr. Blake. As soon as I see her I'm going to scoop her up into my arms then spin her in the air & kiss her like I'd never kissed her before.

I park outside the Blake mansion & run upto the front door & ring the door bell. I fix my hair & straighten my ascot. I couldn't stand still. The smile on my face was huge. It felt like hours waiting for someone to finally open that door, surely it was just minutes. A tall strong blonde older man opened the door, & behinde him I saw that face! The face I'd die for! Those beautiful bright blue eyes that make me crazy! I ran right into the house grabbed her. She sqealed then pulled away from me. I didn't understand.

"Freddie! Is that you?" She asked in shock. I smiled.

"Yes Daphne it's me! I'm here, I came back to you!" I said.

"I-I don't understand..." She said confused.

"I love you Daphne Ann Blake & I came back to marry you!" I said. Suddenly her smile faded away.

"W-what's wrong Daph?" I asked.

"Freddie, I can't marry you." She said, turning away from me. I felt a pain inside my heart that I'd never had before. One so strong so painful, so sharp & hurtful.

"W-w-what did you say?" I asked.

"I can't marry you Freddie. I'm engaged now, to someone else. Who loves me much more. He agreed to never leave me. Like you did to me." Daphne said. I was hurt so bad, never had I hurt this bad. It was ten times worse than when I discovered my "dad" was the freak & stole me!

"What! Daphne, why! Who? When?" I said in panic.

"I'm getting married, to Shaggy Rogers, on Saturday. Because you felt me alone to fight for myself. To cry lonely during the night. Wanting you to call, waiting for you to come & resccue me, but you never did." Daphne said.

"Shaggy!" I asked is shock.

"Yes, he stayed here with me once he came back from the school his parents sent him to." She said.

"Daphne, he isn't meant for you! I was! I can tell!" I cried.

"Then why'd you leave! Hu? Why'd did you leave me broken & my heart into a million pieces?" She cried.

"I-I.." I couldn't think of the right words to say. I wanted to tell her everything. but it was impossible. I was still in shock.

"That's what I thought." she said, before walking upto me & putting her hands on my cheeks. Her touch so soft, so right. She had tears flowing from her face.

"Freddie, I'm sorry but, it's Shaggy who I love now. He loves me too & we're going to get married. You may come to our wedding. " She said before giving me a gentle kiss on the cheek & turning away to walk up the stairs of her mansion.

My heart is broken & will never be whole again.
