boo! Actual story
Nobody Knows
By Demon's Cherry Blossom
Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
A young girl, no older than 10 curled up on the bottom of a bunk bed, her hands holding up a pillow close to her pink hair. She tried to ignore the crying coming from the room next door. It was so hard, she wanted to go in there and comfort the crying woman, but she couldn't.
Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down
The child clutched the fabric near her heart, in pain. Don't cry, mommy, please don't cry… it hurts so bad.
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
said.
You didn't mean it when you said you hated poppa… did you? I even apologized for you, see mommy, so everything will be all better now, see? The girl started to cry. She whimpered away from the door, she could hear the glass breaking. Where was her nii-chan to make it all better?
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
They won't stop fighting nii-chan! Where are you nii-chan? Where are you?!The girl listened as her parents fought about her, her brother, money, the academy, everything. All she wanted was peace, just silence and a happy family.
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family
Kasei-nii came home finally. She jumped into the waiting arms of her brother, trying to hide from the private war raging around her, trying to leave behind the world of fighting parents and breaking glasses.
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
Mommy, I'll be a better daughter, I won't try to be a ninja anymore, I'll go to a regular, school and be a regular person, just stop fighting with poppa! Why can't we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
Daddy, I promise that I'll get better grades, the best of the whole class, and make you proud! Just stay with us daddy, we need you…
Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, 'cause I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
Why don't you get it poppa… momma loves you. The girl and her brother stared at the dark haired man before them, trying not to wince as he yelled profanities at their mother; it was always like this at dinner time. Poppa, stop it! Before you do something you might regret! …Please…
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too
I know it hurts when she yells back poppa, but we love you too, can't you tell, nii-chan and me love you too?!
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
The girl had no I idea where she was going, she just needed to leave. She passed a ramen stand; she could barely make out the figures of a classmate and one of her sensei's, their heads turned in her direction. She ran past the training grounds, seeing her crush training; she didn't spare him a second glance.
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way
The girl ended in a forest, curled up in a ball, and stayed that way, for how long she didn't know, all she could remotely feel were warm arms wrapping themselves around her torso, and a person carrying her home.
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my
family
The girl had come to the resolve long ago that she would never marry anybody unless she really loved them. She didn't want to hurt her kids as bad as her parents hurt her.
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
Sakura stared at the family portrait that had been taken a few months after she was born, everyone looked so happy! Why couldn't it have stayed that way?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
She'd do anything, she'd get better grades, and pay more attention in class, and stop getting notes sent home! If only they would stop fighting!
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
She looked at the most recent photo of their family. She could see her blank eyes, her brother's pained ones, her mother's forced smile, and her father's slight frown. They were so fake.
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her
last name
Sakura stared at the slip. The paperwork, the end of her life. The divorce paperwork. Why couldn't her parents understand that she didn't want to have to split them, be forced to choose one side or another, why couldn't they understand?!
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
They had never had a perfect family, there were fights and arguments, but that steadily escalated and now, their semblance of normality was gone, as was their happiness.
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do
anything)
in our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
in our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
Daddy, Mommy, please just stop!! Please… for me?
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
No!! Nii-chan!! Please daddy, please let me come with you!! The girl stared in horror as her brother left with her father to Suna. Her life was over, she had no other reason to live. She wanted to die.
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone
Mom will be nicer
I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother
Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night
Please… let's just be a family again…
