Huge, huge thanks to those of you who have supported me through this! I really, really hope you aren't disappointed with this chapter. I was a little bit...well go on and read it! Oh yeah...I don't own this song either.

Come notice me
And take my hand
So why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

Katie was sitting at Freddy's funeral. She was too numb to do anything. Anything at all took more strength than she thought she'd have in a thousand years. The only thing she could do was cry, and cry she had, almost non-stop ever since she got that call a few days ago. The day that ruined her life forever.

And every time I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

Through the burial sermon, she talked to no one. Summer and a few other girls she knew sat by her and hugged her the whole time, but nothing they could do could console Katie. Her life was dark now. Freddy's death cast a neverending shadow over her life and everything in it. She sat there shaking, past the sermon, past everyone hugging her and leaving. Katie vaguely heard people offer to drive her home, but waved them away. She didn't want to leave. Not yet.

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

Her life was meaningless now. Freddy had showed her love and trust after Zack had betrayed her. Zack tore her heart out. Then he went and murdered the one she loved. The police couldn't find enough evidence to arrest him yet, and that bastard was still walking the streets. Still living across the street from Katie.

And every time I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby

He hadn't talked to her after the "accident." She didn't want to talk to him; she didn't want to risk doing something she'd regret. If she saw him again, there was no telling what would happen. A woman taken from her true love possesses a potent weapon. Which is why Zack Mooneyham made one of the biggest mistakes of his life when he drove past the cemetery, saw Katie sitting alone, and went to take her home.

And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

"Katie," Zack said, placing a hand on her shoulder. Unmoving, she asked what he wanted with a chill that made the grim feeling hanging in the air all the icier.

"Come on, I'm taking you home."

Katie stood up, unresisting. She hatched a plan. She was going to avenge Freddy's death without poor Zack seeing it coming.

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

Twenty minutes later, as Zack walked into Katie's living room and they sat down on a sofa, he inwardly smiled. He had a whole speech planned out, begging Katie's forgiveness and pleading to get her back. He smirked. It would work; it always worked.

Katie still hadn't stopped crying. "Zack, I need a tissue, be right back," she said calmly as she rose. She disappeared into the hallway, and entered the kitchen.

Thinking of what she was about to do, she walked over to the drawer and selected a knife from it. A knife almost identical to the one Freddy was killed with.

At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

It's my fault you died Freddy. My fault. Here's my apology. I hope it's good enough.

Zack didn't even know what was happening. One moment he was staring out the window, then Katie walked in the room. He was about to turn to look at her, but he stopped as he felt the cold blade against his throat. In that moment, a deafening silence filled the air, and time stopped. In one wavering moment, all stillness ensued. Just for one split second, Zack was aware of what was going to happen.

And every time I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

Katie grimly walked away from the scene a few minutes later, a small satisfaction that she felt she avenged Freddy.

She picked up her phone and dialed it. In an unwavering voice, she spoke.

"Hello, officer? We need an ambulance immediately…"

After all...
After all...

I feel really mean now. Oh yeah, and this is the last chapter unless I get a brilliant inspiration. I think it was okay to end it like that, please tell me what you think!

One more HUGE thanks to the reviewers, I love you all! More fics from me coming soon , I promise!
