I hope you all don't think this is crappy. I was on the bus to a school trip thing this morning and I got a songfic idea. And I don't own Maroon 5 or School of Rock. Duh.

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

Freddy Jones was an 18-year-old drummer in an awesome rock band. He had a lot of friends, okay grades, rich parents, and a nice house. He had everything any boy his age would ever want. But the only thing that Freddy wanted was the only thing he couldn't have. Her name was Katie. She was a longtime friend, they had known each other for years because of being in School of Rock. Freddy's best friend was Zack Mooneyham. Zack had that one thing Freddy couldn't have, he had Katie. Freddy would never say anything to either of them, he cared about his best friends too much to hurt them like that. Who was he to break them up just so he could have Katie to himself?

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

Freddy loved her so much, but she was just out of reach. Katie lived down the block from Freddy, and Zack lived across the street from Katie. Freddy had taken to just walking down his street, just walking past her house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. She was always so happy in Zack's presence, it appeared, and he loved seeing her like that. Even though it wasn't for him, Freddy's whole heart light up as her smile shined.

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

One such day of walking down his street, Freddy decided to go out to see her from afar even though it was drizzling lightly. The rain was a small price to pay for seeing Katie happy. It was a sight that kept him going, something that made him happy. Sometimes seeing her laugh made him laugh, even though she didn't know it. When they were together, it was always a bunch of them, and it was no problem for Freddy to hide his feelings in public. But alone, his heart took on a different story, a sickness only cured by seeing Katie happy, even if it meant she wasn't with him.

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

That rainy day was looking stormy in more than one way. Freddy felt a disturbance in the air as he walked briskly down the perfectly paved sidewalk. He didn't know what was wrong…he could just feel something. As he approached Katie's house, he could definitely tell something was up because of the ominous shouts coming from within the house.

Freddy was about to walk up to her door and go in, when he heard someone coming out. He jumped behind a bush, concealing himself so as not to be seen, but so he could still see and hear what was going on at the doorway.

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want

Zack rushed out in a huff, with Katie crying in the door behind him. Freddy's heart broke as he noticed the red mark on Katie's face. How dare Zack hurt her? Freddy tried so hard to keep himself quiet for Katie's good, and this is what Zack has to go and do? Was all the person al pain he endured in vain?

As soon as Zack slammed his front door, Freddy deemed it safe and knocked softly on Katie's door. "Katie, open up, it's me."

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

And she will be loved

She will be loved

Katie answered the door, peeking through before recognizing Freddy. She sighed in relief. "Oh Freddy," she said as she opened the door, stepping aside for him. "Thank God you're here."

"What's he doing to you Katie. What is wrong with this. You know you can talk to me. You know I'll always be here for you."

They walked over to her couch, and he hugged her close, rocking her in his arms.

"Freddy, I thought he loved me…" she whispered, breaking down into sobs.

Freddy hugged her even closer and whispered in her ear, "It's okay Katie….I love you…"

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me

Catch her every time she falls

Katie looked up at Freddy, shocked at his words.

"Katie, I won't hurt you like he did. When I say I love you, I mean it. I won't lie to you. I won't hit you, or say I love you if I don't mean it. Katie Callaway, I am always going to be here for you. I have always loved you, and I always will. That is something you can always count on, no matter what. I will love you always."

Freddy leaned down and kissed her, the tears mingling on both their faces and lips, but neither of them cared. They had each other, and right now, that was all that really mattered, and all they really needed. Just each other.

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye.
