This is my first songfic. YAY! I am starting a series of songfics that shall be an album. This is Track 1, Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. The song is about Domestic Violence but I thought it would be better as child abuse in this case. Enjoy

I stared out of the window waiting for Maka to come home. It was dark and raining. It was late too, about 10:17 PM. Maka was supposed to be home an hour ago. Maka and her dad were just going to the book store, and Maka may love books, but to be gone for 4 hours? I'm starting to worry. Blair went to bed already.

I have finally admitted to myself that I liked Maka, but decided not to do anything about it because I don't want to ruin our partnership or friendship, and she swore that she would never fall in love. So I just hide it, and on some days, deny it.

Finally Maka stepped through the door. Soaking wet. But I remember giving her an umbrella before she left, so what happened to it? I grabbed a towel and placed it on her drenched hair. When I did she flinched like I was going to hit her.

"Maka? Are you okay?" I asked her. Her eyes grew wide, and she avoided eye contact. Or any contact, in fact. She pushed past me and started walking to her room.

"I'm fine." She answered too quickly, then went into her room, shutting the door. I waited a few minutes because she was probably changing, then when I figured she was done, walked into her room. She was facing away from the door and was listening to music, to my surprise. She never listens to music, but I could hear rock and roll blaring through the headphones. She was wearing a black tank top, and I wasn't happy when I got a good look at her arms.

I saw bruises. And not bruises from missions either, because it's been a while since we had one. These bruises were dark on her pale skin. Some purple, some blue, some dark brown. She turned around to see me and jumped. She grabbed her blanket, unsure of what else to grab, and wrapped her small frame with it, but I had already seen the bruises.

"Maka, what happened?" I asked, pulling one arm out of the blanket so I could examine it.

"I…I…fell." She tried. I stared at her, aware that she was lying. I knew who gave her those bruises, and probably took the umbrella too. I held her hand and stared into her eyes, seeing they were swollen with tears.

"Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy." I said, admitting my feelings. "You know I like you, a lot. I won't even deny it now. One look puts the rhythm of a love song in my head. Your dad hits you, doesn't he?" Tears fell down her face as she slowly shook her head no, trying to lie to me. I have never seen her this scared, this weak. "I'll never understand why you hang around with him." Shehung her headin shame. I lifted her chin softly. "I see what's going down."

"I have noticed you wear makeup lately. You cover up with makeup in the mirror. Are you hiding other bruises too?" She didn't respond. "He says it won't happen again right? Or is it you that tells yourself it will never happen again? That's why you have been locking yourself in your room lately. So you can cry alone. But the next time you see him he swears he loves you."

She cried as I held her in my arms. She had cried herself to sleep, and I put her in her bed. That night I kept thinking of what I could do. What I should do. Then I decided. Tomorrow I will confront him.

I told Spirit to meet me at the park, using Maka's phone. I told Blair to keep her busy with a spa day today. I was sitting on the bench when I saw the red haired man I automatically stood up. He was a bit taller than me, but I was stronger than him, so his glare didn't scare me.

"What are you doing here, Eater?" He asked me. I couldn't hold in my anger. I lost control of myself and punched him. "What was that for?!"

"Do you feel like a man when you push her around?! Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?!" I yelled. "Well I'll tell you now you will never be my friend. One day this world's got to end, as your lies crumble down. Maka will be happier with a new life she has found." I yelled. He stared at me.

"I don't know what you are talking about." He lied. I punched him again. He swung at me but I dodged and punched him until he was in the ground. I kneeled down next to him.

"A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect a great philosopher once said. Meaning every action in this world will bear a consequence. If you wade around forever you will surely drown." I got closer to his face, lowering my voice. "I see what's going down." He glared at me, and I smirked.

"I see the way you go and say your right again. You say you're right again." I stood up and stared down at him. "Heed my lecture." I started walking away, but then stopped and looked over my shoulder.

"You never did answer my questions." I said

"What questions?" He said, standing up.

"Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?" I asked.

"Of course, it means I am in control." He answered. I had managed to control myself.

"Well I'll tell you my friend that one day this world's going to end. And your lies crumble down. And you daughter will be satisfied with a new life she has found."

I walked home, to see Maka sitting on the couch.

"What did you do?" She asked me, fearfully. I sat down next to her.

"He shoved your face down in the dirt."

She said "But it doesn't hurt." I stared at her with soft eyes that only she has seen. She sighed. She said "I've finally had enough. What did you say to him?"

"I asked him do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Then I said well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end and your lies will crumple down. Then I said you will love the new life you will find." She looked at her feet. I held her hand.

"He had your face down in the dirt. Don't tell me It doesn't hurt." I said.

She squeezed my hand and she said "I've finally had enough."
