Band One-Shots (Open!)

There For You (Jenna McDougall)

I laid on the couch curled in my best friend Jenna's arms, bawling like an infant.

My boyfriend of four years had just left me, saying he had never loved me, and wanted to go be with the school slut instead.

Needless to say, I was an emotional wreck.

I immediately called Jenna and told her what happened, and she came over with movies, ice cream, candy, soda, pretzels, chips, cookies, cookie dough, cake. Basically she bought half the grocery store.

"Sweetie you don't need him, he's a piece of shit." Jenna sighed, smoothing my hair.

I shook my head fiercely. "I love him so much, I need him!" I sobbed as we watched the movie Bad Words.

"No, you don't. You don't love an asshole cuz ya can't, and you definitely don't need him, Sarah." she argued, "Now, shut up and watch the movie."

I continued crying as I turned my head toward the screen, hoping it would take my mind off of things.

After about half an hour, I still hadn't laughed once, even though this was one of my favorite movies.

"Feeling any better?" Jenna asked hopefully, and I shook my head no. "God damn it!" she growled, "I'm gonna kill that boy, it's gonna happen!"

"Please don't." I sobbed, hugging her tighter. "Why not? Bumblefuck deserves it for putting my best my best friend through this." Jenna argued.

I shook my head again, crying harder, and she sighed, then started singing.

Sometimes I'm a selfish fake

You're always a true friend

And I don't deserve you

Cuz I'm not there for you

Oh I wish I would be

(Please forgive me again)

I wanna be there for you

Someone you can come to

Runs deeper than my bones

And I wanna be there for you

Swirling shades of blue

Slow dancing in your eyes

Sun kisses the earth

And I hush my urge to cry

Cry

Wanna be there for you

Someone you can come to

Runs deeper than my bones

Wanna be there for you

Cuz I hear the

Whispered words

In your masterpiece beautiful

You speak the unspeakable truth

"I love you too"

I wanna be there for you

Someone you can come to

Runs deeper than my bones

And I wanna be there for you

By the time she was done singing, I had managed to stop crying. "That's beautiful, Jenna..." I whispered.

"It's true," she chuckled, "you're always there for me, and I suck at being there for you like I should be."

I shook my head as I buried my face in her chest. "You're my best friend, I wouldn't have you any other way." I argued.

Jenna sighed and wrapped me in a tight hug. "I love you Sarah, please don't be sad."
