So this is my first fanfic and I'm not a native English speaker so please be nice. This story is based on I'll Be There for You by The Rembrandts (Theme from Friends)
I don't own How to Rock or I'll Be There for You
[Stevie's POV]
So no one told you life was gonna be this way. You're jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA.
I had just finished my shift at Danny Mango's and as I exited the mall I heard a voice from behind me. "Hey, need a ride" It was the unmistakable voice of Zander, my best friend and secret crush. "No thanks, I'll just walk", he gave me a questioning look but walked away. As much as I hate walking I really didn't want to go home yet.
Life with my family was…complicated. We weren't exactly rich; to say the truth we were the opposite, that's why my job at Danny Mango's was so important.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear when it hasn't been you're day, you're week you're month or even you're year but
On my way home I was thinking about Zander and my little crush on him, I really wanted to know if he felt the same way. The way we acted around each other made me think that he did but maybe that's just the way best friends acted.
I'll be there for you when the rain starts to fall, I'll be there for you like I'll be there for you coz you're there for me too
Perfect! Little drops of water started to fall on me. I started to curse myself for regretting that car ride when I heard the horn of a car. I turned around to see Zander in his car motioning for me to get in.
"Why are you here," I asked
"Because I knew it would rain and I didn't want you to get sick," He said. This is how it was between us he would always be there for me and I would always be there for him.
It was a silent drive to my house but it was a comfortable silence that we both enjoyed. Another reason why I liked him a lot, for someone this could be considered an awkward or uncomfortable situation but for us it was normal and I liked it that way.
No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me, since you're the only one who knows what it's like to me, someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with, someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.
When we arrived to my house I frowned and Zander realized the reason. He was the only one who truly knew me and understood me. "Want to stay here for a while? He asked. "Yeah" And there we sat until it was dark. Despite my bad mood he had found a way to cheer me up.
