This is my first Drake & Josh fanfiction I ever wrote. It's posted on my site, but I thought I'd put it here as well. This story is completely written but not completely posted. In fact, I've already written up a sequel, which I will post when I finish posting this.

I don't own any of the Drake & Josh characters. I did create some characters for this fanfiction though. The song "Insensitive" is sung by Jann Arden and written by Anne Loree. The song "Always" belongs to Bon Jovi. No copyright infringements are intended.

Josh isn't upset with Drake anymore. Now he's got to work on Cassandra. Listening to Drake's CD. Do you know how hard it is to type when you're hearing different words than you're typing? lol. Enjoy the chapter.


The next weekend, Drake and his band were setting up at the teen club. Drake was really nervous. He hoped so much that his plan would work. First, he had to make sure Alexa had gotten Cassandra to the club that night. If she didn't there was no point. If Christopher was there, what would happen? Would he pound Drake into the ground? He really couldn't mess this up.

"Hey Drake, we're ready."

Here goes everything, he thought.


The phone rang and Cassandra reached across her bed to answer it.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hi Cassandra." It was Christopher.

"Hey," she said.

"Look, um, this is kinda hard for me to say, but I really think we should see other people. You see, it's not you, it's me."

"Right."

"I'm really sorry."

"Uh-huh. Bye Chris." Cassandra hung up the phone and leaned back against her pillows. She felt bad. That was how it felt to be dumped over the phone? Poor Drake. Wait, why did she feel sorry for him? He hurt her worse. The one thing she didn't understand was, how come she wasn't that upset about Christopher dumping her?


The club was soon packed with teens, and Drake quickly scanned the place for Cassandra. He saw Josh and Mindy. How did Josh get Mindy there? Josh was always willing to support his brother, and since they had been arguing it was a good sign he was there. However, Mindy hated him as much as he hated her. Why was she there? Oh well. He had to find Cassandra. He didn't see her. They had to start, so Drake began to play and sing. His heart wasn't in it though. Mostly because his heart was with Cassandra.


"C'mon Cassandra," pleaded Alexa. "You deserve to have some fun tonight."

"Why would I want to go to that club where he's playing?" snapped Cassandra.

"Because, I don't know. Make fun of an old ex? That could be a good time...c'mon, just because Chris dumped you doesn't mean you should stay locked up inside."

"I don't know Alexa."


The band continued to play. Drake was worried. It was getting late, and he hadn't seen Cassandra. There was one song left, and Drake sighed. He got ready to announce the end. At that moment, Alexa came scurrying up to the side of the stage. She gave him a thumbs up and pointed to Cassandra. Then she glared at him and mouthed "remember." She walked back toward her friend. Drake was glad she was finally there. He felt like a nervous wreck though. He had to get through this last song. If she wouldn't have him back after this, there was no hope for it.

"Okay everybody," Drake announced. "Unfortunately this is the last song of the night." Groans were heard around the club. "Yes, we're all upset," he continued. "Now this last song is dedicated to a certain someone. I kinda hurt them really bad. I feel terrible about it and wish I could turn it all around. I can't turn back time though, and this person won't let me speak. I thought I'd give this a try. I just want to say, I'm sorry."

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me

And I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you
Always

Drake glanced up to see Cassandra watching him. He couldn't read her expression, due to the lights of the stage. He continued, wishing he knew what she was thinking.

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say good bye

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear
I wish I was him and those words were mine
To say to you 'til the end of time

That I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die
And I'll love you
Always
