Ryou's POV

Have you ever known how it feels like to be alone? How it feels to be laughed at by your FRIENDS?! I thought they cared about me! About how I felt! But no! All they care about is themselves!

CRASH!

Out of frustration, I did something stupid; I broke one of my own windows.

/What was that about?/ Oh, I forgot about him…

(Nothing Bakura. It was nothing…)

/You're thinking about them again. Aren't you?/

(…yeah…) I looked up as he faded into the room. He smiled at me. I don't know why everyone says he a bad person. We've been dating for a year now, and he's the most artistic and romantic man on Earth.

"You think I'm romantic?" He asked.

"You weren't supposed to hear that…" I said flushing lightly. He smiled at gestured to a pamphlet I brought home from school. It was for the talent show. I guess I could compete. It's in a week, so why not?

ONE WEEK LATER NORMAL POV

Ryou looked at Tea who just smirked at him.

"Why are you even entering Ryou? Can't you see we'll win?" She, Serenity and a girl named Miho were all wearing skimpy outfits for their dance routine.

Ryou was wearing a black leather jacket, dark blue jeans, and a slightly ripped black v neck t-shirt. He rolled his eyes as they walked on stage.

"Sure, because everyone needs to know that the bitches are the best..." he muttered as they walked on stage. When they finished, everyone was clapping.

"Next up we have Ryou Bakura singing Because of you!" The announcer said. Ryou walked up as the melody began.

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

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
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain

And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

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 try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Everyone cried at the end. Ryou looked at his ex-friends for the last time. That night, Ryou Bakura was killed when someone shot him in the heart.
