AN: Okay, here's another one-shot. To all of my reviewers, you guys are amazing, and I love you. You guys are the reason why I'm continuing my writing, and ya'll are the reason why lately, all of my writings haven't been depressing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You guys don't realize how much ya'll rock!

Disclaimer: Seriously….I own nothing. Still. The song is "All I Have To Give" by the Backstreet Boys (ah…the good ol' days!)

"All I Have To Give"

I don't know
What he does to make you cry
But I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have
A fancy car
To get to you
I'd walk a thousand miles
I don't care
If he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart
I don't know
But if you were mine, girl
I'd make it so
We'd never be apart

Joe watched the exchange going on between Lilly and her boyfriend, Matt. It seemed to be pretty heated, and he saw tears forming at the corners of her eyes. Joe knew that this wasn't a new thing. Lilly had told him that. He sighed. He hated watching his best friend/the girl of his dreams go through all of this pain.

Just then, Matt threw a small package at Lilly, stormed to his brand new BMW, and sped off, leaving Lilly confused and upset. Joe got up and walked over to the broken girl. He pulled her into a comforting hug, letting her cry into his shoulder.

And all he could think about was how much better she deserved to be treated.

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

Lilly pulled away from Joe after a few minutes.

"Sorry about that," she said, noticing the wet spot she left on his shoulder.

"It's no problem," he replied.

He looked at Lilly, and he couldn't figure out why Matt would do this to her. Why would he treat her like she was nothing? How could anyone possibly break this beautiful angel?

That's when he noticed that she was looking at the box that had been thrown at her. He could tell that its contents were expensive, just like all of the gifts he bought her. Expensive, but thoughtless.

Just like Matt.

When you talk
Does it seem like he's not
Even listening to a word you say
It's okay baby
Just tell me your problems
I'll try my best
To kiss them all away
Does he leave
When you need him the most
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please
I'm on my knees
Praying for the day
That you'll be mine

"This isn't even my birthstone," Lilly remarked, a sarcastic laugh escaping her lips. "I've told him what my birthstone was. I guess he forgot."

"He 'forgets' a lot of things, doesn't he," Joe snidely remarked. Lilly jerked her head up to look at him.

"He's not all bad, Joe," she sounded exhausted. Matt had been a sore point between them for the past year, the amount of time that Lilly had been with him. It angered Joe that Lilly couldn't see just how bad the guy really was. It angered Joe that Lilly was willing to defend a guy who would never do the same for her. It angered Joe that Lilly would always drop everything to be with Matt, but Matt couldn't return that favor.

But most of all, it angered Joe that Lilly couldn't see what was right in front of her face.

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

To you

"God, Lil," Joe was beyond mad at this point, "can't you see that he's using you? Can't you see that you're just another trophy to him? Just another notch in his bedpost?"

"For your information, Joseph," Lilly spat, "I have never slept with Matt."

Joe sighed. "I didn't mean it like that, Lilly. I just meant that you don't mean anything to him. You're only an option to him. Why is he a priority to you?"

Lilly looked at her best friend, tears once again coming to her eyes. "Because no one else wants me."

Hey girl
I don't want you to cry no more
Inside
All the money in the world
Could never add up to
All the love I have inside
I love you
And I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you
But love is all I have to give

Joe couldn't believe this. No one else wants her? He wanted her. He wanted her so bad he couldn't think straight. He wanted her so bad all of his songs were about her. He wanted her so bad he couldn't do this whole "just friends" thing for much longer.

Lilly was standing there, tears in her eyes, staring at ground. He couldn't take her looking like this. He couldn't take her living like this. So, he did what he thought would make things better for her.

He kissed her.

He was afraid that she wouldn't kiss back. In fact, he almost pulled away. But just before he did, he felt her hand reach up to the back of his head and pull him closer to her, heating up their kiss.

They pulled away once oxygen was a dire need. Leaning his forehead against hers and looking into her eyes, he said, "Lilly, I've always wanted you."

She smiled. "I've always wanted you, too, Joe."

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give
To you
