This is a story based on the song "Terrible Things," by Mayday Parade. Derek Sanders is the main character and he is the lead singer of Mayday Parade, and this is just my interpretation of the song from his point of view.

Val meets Derek on their first day of Sophomore year and there was an undeniable connection. They became best friends instantly, pushing back their possible romantic feeling for each other. When Val is threatened with old memories that haunt her, Derek will do anything to help her, even if it means never leaving her side. *** No disrespect to Derek or his wife Lauren in anyway, I love them very dearly. This story is completely fictional. ***
