Bold is the song lyrics
Italics are flashbacks
Normal is the present.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me

He sat there on his bed, holding her picture in his hands. He sighed heavily and stared it, her, inventively. He just couldn't believe she was gone. He walked around his room and leaned on his wall, running a hand through his hair.

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

Silent tears streamed down his cheeks, but he feverishly wiped them away. He sighed again and more tears came out. 'Who cares if I'm crying?' he thought. 'It's not like anyone can say anything about it.'

There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

He heard a soft knock on his door.

"Hey, Chris, are you OK?" a small voice asked. His sister, Leah, probably.

"I'm fine." he lied.

"If you're sure-"

"I'm sure." he cut in, tears clouding his vision. "I'm going to sleep."

He heard Leah sigh and walk away. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He soon fell into a saddened sleep.

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

"Hey." Chris said.

"What's up?" Ally said. They were both timid and shy.

"Listen I-"

"I really don't wanna talk about this." she said and turned to leave.

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

"See you tonight." Chris said.

Ally took a step forward and got close to Chris' face.

"Bring. It. On." she said with a smirk. They spun off in opposite directions and walked away.

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it

"I'm going for a walk." he announced. He stood up and walked out of his house. He walked down the street, his head down, staring at his shoes.

"This is nice." Ally said. She and Chris were sitting in a restaurant, eating dinner.

"Yeah, it's pretty cool." Chris said.

It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder

He kept walking until he ended up back home. He just basically went in a huge circle.

"Hey, hon." his mother said. "What's going on?"

He just ignored her and ran back up to his room.

Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over

Chris walked forwards and wrapped his arms around Ally, pulling her into a hug. She let out a sob and buried her face in the croon of his neck.

I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

He dropped back down on his bed. He grabbed her picture that was laying on the floor.

"I loved you." he whispered. "I always did."

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

"Why are you here?" Ally asked.

"I wanted to see you." Chris said.

"But, you can't see me when you have a girlfriend." Ally said.

"But Al-"

"You can't be here." Ally said. "It's-it's not…right."

Chris sighed and walked out the open door. Ally leaned on it and shut it. She ran her fingers through her hair and sighed.

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Ally laughed as Chris tickled her ribcage. They sat on Chris's bed.

"What happens now?" Chris asked quietly.

"Well…" Ally looked down. She looked back up at him. "I guess this." They kissed indulgently for nearly a minute, and then, quite naturally, and without resistance, things got passionate. The slow, deep, luxurious kisses slipped into a faster, more urgent phase, and neither one of them opened an eye or flinched in doubt or uneasiness. They pulled away, wide smiles on their faces.

Ohhhh

Ohhhh, yeah

Whoo!

Chris put his hand under her chin and lifted her head up. He gently pressed his lips against hers and they started kissing. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his around her waist.

What hurts the most

He smiled as more good thoughts rolled into mind. His smile faded when he thought why he was really sad in the first place.

Is being so close

A school bus hit Ally's mom's car. It flipped over numerous times before stopping. It landed upside-down on the ground.

And having so much to say

"Ally?" Chris said into his cell phone. When she didn't answer, his eyes widened and he ran out of his house.

And watching you walk away

His breathing quickened as he walked towards the upside-down car. He soon broke out in a sprint and was over to her in a matter of seconds.

And never knowing
What could have been

"Ally. Ally!" he touched her bloody face. Her eyes were closed and she wasn't breathing. "Al, c'mon wake up! ALLY!"

Chris felt someone grab his waist and pull him back. Despite his struggle to get back to Ally, the guy didn't let go of him.

"ALLY! ALLY!" he kept on screaming. Tears spilled down his cheeks.

And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Chris broke down sobbing, his body shaking. "Ally…" he whispered. His friend. His crush. Was dead.

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do

He held her picture in his hands.

"I loved you." he said, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I really did love you. But now…it's to late."
