Disclaimer: Uh, hello? Duh.

A quick note: Okay, I owe this one to Sam because she's been waiting so patiently for me to use "Crash and Burn." :D

I Can Mend a Broken Heart

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned it's back on you

Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you

It's hard to find relief, and people can be so cold

When darkness is upon your door, and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call

If you jump, I'll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash, then crash and burn

You're not alone

She walked down the street, tears falling unchecked from her lilac eyes. She didn't seem to notice or care that her raven hair was soaked from the falling rain. She didn't even know where she was headed. Where could she go? Her home was empty, and her boyfriend… A sob escaped her lips as she thought about him. His name was Mike, and he had dyed blue hair and hazel eyes. He had been perfect at first; the perfect goth guy for a goth girl. Over time, things had changed. It had started about three months ago.

When you feel all alone

And a loyal friend is hard to find

You're caught in a one-way street

With the monsters in your head

When hopes and dreams are far away and

You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call

If you jump, I'll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash, then crash and burn

You're not alone

She pushed his wandering hands away, ceasing the kisses on his neck. "Mike, stop. I don't want to do this." She straightened her shirt.

"Why not?" he asked, obviously surprised.

"I'm not ready for such a big step. We're only seventeen."

"Come on, Sammy," he tried, stroking her cheek.

She pulled away. "What? Don't call me Sammy."

"Why not? You let your friend Danny call you that."

"It's a private nickname."

"Oh, I get it. That's why you hardly ever kiss me, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're in love with Danny."

Because there's always been heartache and pain

And when it's over you'll breath again

You'll breath again

She remembered that day well. She had thought she'd moved on from her silly crush on Danny, but different things kept happening. If Mike had thought she barely kissed him before, she never kissed him after that day. Anywhere they went, there was some memory of Danny that she would tell Mike about, most of them funny. The one other time he tried to get her to take their relationship all the way, she had called out Danny's name when he'd been kissing her. That was probably when Mike finally decided to let her go. She was obviously in love with someone else.

She walked on through the rain. Mike had been her everything before he accused her of loving Danny. Now, she was hurt and confused. She had changed for Mike, and now she wasn't sure who Sam was anymore. Was she the girl that occasionally changed all her morals for the guy she liked, or was she the girl that the guy she liked knew so well that he didn't ask her to change? She finally raised her eyes from the sidewalk, shivering, and stopped short.

Danny stood in front of her, hands in his jacket pockets. He removed his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders, his eyes telling her how sorry he was for her. He cradled her face in his hands, gently kissing her tears away before returning his gaze to her eyes.

"I can mend a broken heart," he whispered.
