Author's Note: Songfic to Maroon 5's 'She Will Be Loved'
Beauty
queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was
always there to help her
She always belonged to someone
else
Martin watched Sam walk out of the elevator towards
her desk. She sat down and immediately focused her attention on the
computer monitor.
This...relationship...he had with Sam, it was
great. They spent whatever time they had together, spending the night
at one of their places. He knew of her failed marriage when she was
eighteen and of her affair with Jack. It took awhile before he made
the first move but she was with Keller at the time. Then she made the
move.
I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your
door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
"Hey."
Martin came up behind Sam.
"Hi. You coming over tonight?"
Sam asked.
He grinned. "You want me to?"
"I'm
counting on it."
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
Martin struggled to catch
his breath. Instantly, Sam pulled him back down for another kiss.
God, he never wanted this to end.
As Sam laid beside him, he
watched her as she slept. She looked like an angel with strands of
her blonde hair falling on her face. She went through so much in the
last year: being held hostage, getting shot, then killing two men,
Jack's departure and him coming back. No one could tell she went
through all that by looking at her now. It was no wonder Martin would
do anything to help her. Even fall in love.
Tap on my
window, knock on my door
I wanna make you feel beautiful
I know
I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
Martin
brushed away the hair that fell on her face. She still didn't wake
up. He kissed her forehead and sneaked out of bed. He pulled on an
extra pair of sweatpants and went out on the balcony. It was snowing
slightly.
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 can come anytime you want
The balcony
door opened behind him. He looked up to see Sam coming out. He smiled
at her, holding his hand out to her. She took it and allowed him to
pull her to him.
Sam hugged Martin. He gave up a lot to be with
her. He believed in her when others didn't. He was everything to her.
And she loved him for that.
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
And she will be
loved
And she will be loved
"What are you
thinking about?" Sam asked.
Instead of answering, Martin
kissed her. A brief, sweet kiss placed on her lips. When he pulled
away, he noticed was smiling. She seemed content with his answer and
snuggled into him.
In truth, Martin was thinking about her. They
both had the court date coming up where they had to testify against
Jack. Except Samantha had it worse. She had to testify with her
affair. Martin was afraid of how this was going to affect her but he
knew he'd be with her every step of the way.
I know where
you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you
who you are
I know that good-bye means nothing at all
Comes
back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
He dug
into his pocket for his keys, weary from the day's work and court.
Martin hadn't been able to see Sam during court but he hoped she was
okay. Martin was about to put the key in the hole when he heard
sniffling from the other side. He quickly opened the door to find Sam
sitting on his couch.
Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She
was using her sweater sleeve to wipe it away. She looked up as Martin
walked in. Sam got up and next thing he knew he was holding her in
his arms. He didn't need to ask what was wrong; he already
knew.
"Shh, it's okay." Martin whispered to her. "It's
okay."
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I wanna
make you feel beautiful
Martin brushed away some of the
tears and pushed back her hair. He lifted her chin up so he could
look at her. Sam tried to smile at him through her tears but was
failing. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying but to him Sam was
still beautiful.
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
And she will be loved
(Please
don't try so hard to say good-bye)
And she will be loved
(Please
don't try so hard to say good-bye)
Realization hit him as
he finally knew what Sam needed.
Yeah
I don't mind
spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Now
was the time to tell her. "I love you, Sam."
Try
so hard to say good-bye
"I love you too."
