Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of You

Prologue

I can remember every night for the past few nights I have been exhausted. The days would always get longer and I would never get enough sleep at night. I would always want to go to bed early but I could never. I had to always stay awake and wait until he comes home. He never understood me and only thought of himself. He did not understand all the things I have been through and all of the hard work I had to do.

Is it worth it? To cry myself to sleep when we would always sleep in different rooms after an argument. Why me? I was angry at myself for even bothering to try to be happy with him. I tried my hardest to be happy, but all I can do is smile forcefully at my own pain.

I had to hide my emotions because he never likes seeing me cry. I had to fake I was happy in front of him, like everything is perfect. I was stupid to even think I would be happy with him and regret from the day I said I do at the alter.

Ever since I married him, we had to face the real world. It was hard, but he told me we were in this together and he would always be there for me. I believed his words like the fool I am and ended up being lonely. I felt unappreciated and unloved. He does not love me anymore, if he did then everything would be different. Our love for one another had faded years ago.

I would always ask myself why I would always put up with him. Once he comes back, he always neglects me and I have to always be like his personal servant. All I was to him was a toy for his own pleasure. I always wished we could switch up the roles and he would understand how it feels to be me. To be an empty shell...

He always told me that he would not be a tyrant and the boss of the house. That our marriage was equal, but it ended up being him the one with the most power. He never kept to his words and always fed me lies. I wish he would stop because it was hurting badly. I tried talking to him but he would always make an excuse on how tired he is.

I feared him every time he would come home and be drunk. His hits were like a million stabs of a knife. He abuses me one day and the next he sucks up to me. I fall for it like a desperate idiot. We would sleep in different beds most of the time because we always argue. I keep asking myself, where did our light go?

When he does not have work he can go out. Why can't I go? Do I have to always work 24/7 and does he think I like it? He never listens to me and makes up excuses. Does he enjoy this? It is nice to toy with someones emotions?

We can't even communicate with each other without an argument. Is this really how life was supposed to be?

Because of you
I am afraid

A/N: Well it's my first High School Musical Fic and I decided to do something totally different. This idea came up to me when I was hearing a song. Sorry if it's a little short, but I don't want to say too much. I came up with this idea a while ago and decided to work on it. Anyways hope you liked it and please review, to tell me what you think so far.
