Author's Note: Hi guys. :) This is just a little fic that came to my mind while I was supposed to be doing an essay. I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own School of Rock. The song Zack sings is called The Perfect Fan by The Backstreet Boys. I don't own that either.

I never figured I'd see Zack again.
I mean that, really.
When we broke up, I thought that was it. I figured, it's over, finished, move on. I never expected to see him again.
Granted, I always wanted him back in my life. Not like this though, never like this.
Zack left me because his dad found out. Zack left me, and got married to Summer. Zack was married to Summer for two years before she ever found out about what we had for seven years. She refused to let him see me, ever.
I always hated what Zack did to me. I hated even more what Summer did to us.
I always thought that maybe Zack and I could have another chance; I always wanted him to leave Summer, and move back home. To be with me and for once not give a damn what everyone else thought.
We had seven years together. Seven fucking years. And it all went down the drain because Zack cared more about what other people thought then about me.
I always loved Zack; I loved him for three years before I did anything about it. And those ten years that he was my best friend turned boyfriend were the best years of my life. But in our senior year of high school, his dad caught us. After that, Zack decided there was no way we could even be friends.
The not being friends aspect of our relationship didn't last for very long. Only about a week. Zack was going out with Summer at this point and figured it was safe for us to be friends again. But just friends.
I never liked that. But I lived with it because it meant that I could at least still be around him.
When Summer found out she made Zack move away and told him he could never see me again.
Every once in a while I would get a letter or a rushed phone call. But not often.
But here I am. At a funeral. Summer and Zack's mom were in a car accident and neither of them made it.
I never expected to see Zack again. I never wanted it to be like this. But there he is, speaking about Summer, about his mom. Never taking his eyes off of me, tears spilling out of his eyes.
Then he did something I never expected, he began to sing.
I always told Zack he had a beautiful voice, and he never believed me. But here he is, singing a song he wrote himself, for his mom. The only one who ever believed in him, the only one who ever knew about, and believed inus.
"It takes a lot to know what is love
It's
not the big thing but the little things
That can mean enough
A
lot of prayers to get me through
There is never a day that passes
by
I don't think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing
me and guiding me
Always to succeed
You showed me
When
I was young just how to grow
You showed me everything that I
should know
You showed me just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom you always were the perfect fan
God has been
so good
With blessing me with the family
Who did all they
could
And I've had many years of Grace
And it flatters me
when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you've
done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You
showed me everything that I should know
You showed me just how to
walk without your hands
'Cause mom you always were the perfect
fan
You showed me how to love
You showed me how to care
And showed me that you would always be there
I wanna thank
you for the time
And I'm proud to say you're mine
You showed me
When I was young just how to
grow
You showed me everything that I should know
You showed
me just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom you always were
the perfect fan
'Cause Mom you always were, Mom you always
were
Mom you always were...the perfect fan
I Love You Mom."
I always loved Zack's mom like she was my own. She showed me almost as much as she showed Zack. I needed her almost as much as Zack did. She needed us too. She was never happy because she knew that Zack wasn't really happy. The happiest I ever saw Mrs. Mooneyham was when Zack and I were together. She always urged Zack to be who he really was, and not who others wanted him to be.
She told him time and again "Zack, honey. Just be you. If someone cares about who you love or how you dress or what you say, then they don't matter. The only people who matter in your life are the people you aren't afraid to show who you really are. The only people who see your true colors."
Zack's mom liked Summer well enough, but she knew that Zack didn't love her, knew that it wasn't good for him.
I thought I was finally over Zack. I really did. But seeing him here, seeing him crying. It makes me want to take him in my arms and never let him go. I want to be his Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After. I want to be his fairy tail ending.
I may be getting my hopes up in thinking we could be an us again. But, maybe, just maybe, every once in a while, dreams do come true.
