Katie started falling, her head started spinning, and she finally found the peace she always wanted.

Suddenly she was jerked back up, Freddy, who had quickly grabbed her hand tried pulling her back towards him and to safety. His arm was straining, but he wouldn't give up. Not until Katie was safely back on to solid ground.

With a few quick movements, Freddy pulled her gradually up. He could see her tanned skin, quite pale. Her face was tear-stained, and he could feel the heaviness of her heart dropping. When he saw her up on the railing his heart stopped, fear and sadness had welled up inside him.

He hugged her close to his chest. Her tears dropping on to his shirtm wetting it, but he didn't really care. He only cared for her safety, safely in his arms.

"What the hell did you even think of doing something as crazy and fucked-up as that." he suddenly said, breaking the silence.

"I-I-" she stammered. All she could think about now was how the only two people that really cared for her was here.

Her mum though she was in the house, loved her daughter so much. And Freddy cared, her former best, best friend, now being best friends again....maybe, she wasn't quite sure still.

"Don't you ever scare the shit out of me ever again like that. You clear?" he replied, utterly worried and shaken-up.

She nodded just to say yes and prove his point.

"It's okay...just...just don't do that ever again..." he murmurered in to her hair.

Broken this fragile thing now

And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces

I've thrown my words all around

But I can't, I can't give you a reason

I feel so broken up

And I give

Just wanna tell you so you know

Here I go scream my lungs out

And try yo get to you

You are my only one

I let go but there's just no one

That gets me like you do

You are my only, my only one

As his stereo finished playing 'Yellowcard - Only One.' He ponders and finds the answer he needed from the song.

All the times he has pretended that he had never cared for Katie came rushing back to the suface of his memories.

He actually really cared for her, at his early age she was his 'bestest friend in the world' then that grew to jealousy over any other primary school kids wanted to be her friend or any boys in particular, then at the age of twelve that friendship had ended, but memories of it lingered in Freddy's mind.

Soon he realised he had developed, sort-of feelings for her.

He gulped and held her tighter. Afraid that he could lose her as easily as that, that being plunging to her death or something worse.

He shuddered at the horrific thought, causing Katie to awake from her nap in Freddy's arm. It was peaceful, warm and was so right...

'Wait...where had that thought come up?' she thought, confused but counter-arguing by thinking, 'You know you like it, admit it, you have feelings for him, his sensitive side. Though you never really see it.'

"Uhh." she mumbled.

"Katie? Are you okay?" asked Freddy, while he was stroking her hair. This made her just lie on Freddy.

She was getting pretty comfortable when a loud voice awakened her from semi-slumber.

"Katie, honey? Where are you?" hollered Katie's mother.

Katie was just about to open her mouth and answer, but Freddy beat her to it.

"Mrs. Brown, Katie is over at my place practicing the bass!" he shouted back.

"Okay, Freddy, tell her to come back soon!" she replied.

After that, they were left in peace again.

He gathered Katie in his arms and started carrying her towards his bed. He gently lay her on his bed, and laid down next to her.

Slumber quickly took the two, and soon they were both asleep, but before Freddy slept, he had shed a single tear.

A tear which was made out of, love, fear, hurt and undying friendship.

The next morning, an angry and frustrated voice awakened Freddy.

"Fredderick David Jones! I hope you have a perfect explanation why, Mrs. Brown's daughter is sleeping beside you." muttered Mrs. Jones, annoyed at the teenager these days, that her son was becoming.

"Shh, mum. I'll explain everything, let's go down first.

In the kitchen, Freddy explained everything to his mother.

In the end, Freddy's mother had her hand clasped over her mouth in shock and horror.

"I can't believe that Isabelle let that man in to Katie's life!" replied Freddy's mum, utterly horrified.

"What do you mean let in to Katie's life? Isn't he, her dad?" questioned Freddy, confused.

"Well, no. Not really. Ted was actually Katie's step-dad."

She went on.

"At first, Ted thought Katie was his, but when Katie was born he didn't realise it yet. And then when Katie was ten, he finally realised that Katie, was not his daughter, so then he split and left Isabelle and Katie." said Mrs. Jones in a matter-of-factly voice.

" Isabelle had been with Ted only for one year before marriage. Before that she had a 5 year relation-ship with Matt, they were so in love, but then on that unfateful day, Matt died in an accident. A plane blew up. Isabelle was in shock, and quickly found someone to ease the pain. Ted." she finished.

Now Freddy was the one with his jaw hanging down.

He suddenly heard a sniffling sound near him, he spun around to face a quivering Katie, her eyes focused on a point that he could not see.

He quickly rushed to her side, helping her to be seated. She had heard everything. And right now all she could process that she had a dad, a dad that before she was born, died tragically.

'This is the worst birthday ever.' she thought.

"Katie, come on, we have to head to school. I'll drive you to school in my Benz." said Freddy, jolting her out of her train of thoughts.

Katie followed Freddy out the door and in to his car. The trip to school was short and silent, they both needed time to process all this information right now.

When they arrived at school, Freddy helped Katie out of his car. Right now, even through these horrible times, Katie was looking as pretty as ever. Her wavy hair flowed freely down her back, she had a pair of jeans and a blouse with flowing sleeves.

Everyone had stopped dead in their tracks to watch Freddy and Katie. She felt really uncomfortable and awkward. Freddy out his arm around her, she took this as a sign of protectivness. She calmed down a bit.

"That bitch stole my boyfriend, that slut will pay." she heard someone whisper. She knew exactly who it was, but she wasn't in the mood to fight back.

This was going to be the hardest day of her life.
