This is my first songfic, and my first My Babysitter's A Vampire fic. It is about Rory, and what one of my guesses is to his home life.
-In a sitch like this you've gotta think
And I don't think you think about the way he thinks
His Mom was fighting with his dad again. It was happening more and more lately. He ran up the stairs as a plate smashed right next to his head. He might be invincible, but he still didn't like the feeling of when something used to hurt.
And I know you live life for yourself
But it all comes down to the way you help
His parents lived only for themselves. He had taught himself everything he knew. He remembered waking up in the hospital, he was five, but that was his earliest memory. He'd been told he'd fallen down the stairs. His sister told him his parents had pushed him down the stairs.
And I know your life is such a hell
His parents' life described as hell? Yeah freakin right. Note the sarcasm
You wake up early and you work until
You have your drinks at 5 o'clock
That's when they were the worst. It wouldn't just be broken chairs, bottles, and bruises, no, it would be burning.
The hours blend and your thoughts all haunt
Your hopes, your dreams, your everything
That's what they think, but the abuse haunted his everything.
Well, momma I hope, I dream, that you won't leave
His mom realized when he was about to be seriously hurt. His dad didn't.
And I have a question!
What is love?
What is love?
He didn't think it was anything he had experienced. He didn't think his parents were capable of it.
Oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh
Is it giving up?
Well cause that's not how you raised me, yeah.
Well, they didn't really raise him, but they had taught him one thing. If that was love, he didn't want any
In a sitch like this you gotta think
And I don't think you think about the way
She thinks
His parents didn't realize how his sister thought. She died when he was six because of a drug overdose.
And I know you work hard everyday
But it all comes down to the way you're
Paid
His dad wasn't making as much money, so mom was mad. His mom wasn't making as much money, so dad was mad.
And I know you're oh so sorry dad
I truly believe that you're a better man
No he didn't. His dad wasn't sorry for anything but not quitting his job and drinking full time.
Than to share one kiss then give away
All the love you come home everyday
His dad constantly cheated on his mom. Usually, they would go to him next and force him.
To your hopes, your dreams, your everything
Well daddy, I hope, I dream that she won't leave
Then he would be left to his dad, and then he would be found out.
And I have a question!
What is love?
What is love?
He had no idea
Oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh
Is it giving up?
He'd tried to kill himself. Unfortunately it didn't work. He'd do it now, but there was the whole 'immortal' issue.
Cause that's not how you raised me.
And what is love?
What is love?
Oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh
He'd been raised as a stupid kid with amnesia and brain damage that made it hard for him to remember anything, but, he wasn't stupid. He only acted stupid.
See, I don't know anymore;
I used to look up to that love.
What is love? He'd never wanted that sort of love. He didn't love anyone. He acted in love with Erica, but why would he really want that thing that his mom did to his dad, with the cheating, yelling, lies, and abuse, to happen to him? He had no love.
Kind of depressing, but it could be.
