My Little Decoy
A/N: Just a short little drabble. I got the idea after listening to my Paramore CD...Which strangely doesn't even have this song, so it just sort of popped up out of nowhere. This is loosely based on the song 'Decoy' by Paramore. I say loosely, because obviously, the song is about a different sort of relationship than Max and Alex have. This is not incest, just thought I'd make that clear. The lyrics to the song are at the end. Also, this is in Max's POV.
Disclaimer: I don't own WoWP, nor the song this fic is based on.
Summary: Max wonders why his sister doesn't love him. Drabble based on 'Decoy' by Paramore.

I've always been the odd one out. Justin is the smart one, Alex is the witty, sarcastic one. Who am I? Max Russo, that's who. A further explanation isn't really needed, because it doesn't seem to matter to anyone. Especially Alex.
I always thought I was closer to her than I was to Justin. She's more guy-like than she wants to admit, and she's quite the prankster, much like myself. We're always pulling one over on Justin...he's so gullible. I always thought that Alex was the best friend I would ever have.
But lately, things have been changing. I've always known that Alex uses people as if they were disposable. As if they didn't have feelings. But I learned to accept that about her, because that's just who she is. Besides, it was normally other people. The ones who got on her nerves on a regular basis. But now, it's mostly me.
I don't know what I did to make her hate me so much. All she does is make me cover for her mistakes, lie for her, volunteer for her shifts at the Sub Station and the like.
She uses me...just like she uses them. It's like we're no longer family. Like I've crossed some imaginary taboo line, and I'm being forced to repent for it for the rest of my life. It's like I'm just another toy to her. Another puppet whose strings need pulling. I'm not good enough for her friendship, or for her understanding.
I'm just her little decoy. But, it's better than nothing, I guess...

Close your eyes and make believe
This is where you want to be
Forgetting all the memories
Try to forget love
'Cause love's forgotten me
Well, hey hey baby
It's never too late
Pretty soon, you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant, a star's reminiscing
Your heart's been wasted on me
You've never been so used as I'm using you
Abusing you, my little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
My little decoy
Live your life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forcing to you
Just cause you're into me
Well, hey hey baby
It's never too late
When I'm gone, you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay, and you know I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
You've never been so used as I'm using you
Abusing you, my little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
I'm not sorry at all
No, no
I won't be sorry at all
No, no
I'd do it over again
Don't look so blue, my little decoy
You should've seen right through, my little decoy
You've never been so used, my little decoy
As I'm using you, my little decoy

A/N: Well...that was shorter than I was expecting. Anyway...I hope it was okay. It was my first posted WoWP fic. R & R. Ciao!
