A/N: One shot for VanitasXion.
On the first page of our story,
The future seemed so bright.
We met in a local bar, and I was a cocktail waitress there.
He was a first in there.
I was assigned to him.
We took a liking to each other, and we started dating.
Soon we got married.
Then this thing turned out so evil,
I don't know why I'm still surprised.
Our marriage turned out to become a failure.
We had to go to counseling. Twice.
We had fights often.
Even angels have their wicked schemes,
And you take that to new extremes.
Soon, I got pregnant.
Bad time to get pregnant.
We had another fight about that too.
It was also the first time he slapped me.
But he was sorry, and I accepted that apology. I didn't know that he would keep doing it too.
But you'll always be my hero,
Even though you've lost your mind.
When I gave birth to Sora, we had to earn more money.
So I quit my job as a waitress, and became an accountant, while Vanitas got his own job.
More stress, more fights.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts,
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that's alright because I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
"Did you enroll Sora?"
"Sorry honey, I'll do it tomorrow."
"I thought I told you to do it a week ago."
"Xion, I'm working everyday now, just to buy diapers, food and other stuff!"
"I have to do that too! So stop screaming at me!"
"You stop!"
Vanitas then pushed me, I pushed back, and we got into a fight.
Sora woke up, and that snapped us out of it. But I never forgot that night.
Now there's gravel in our voices,
Glasses shattered from the fight.
Sora had turned six, and he was at his friend's house to celebrate. Lucky him.
Vanitas and I had gotten into another fight, and he threw a plate at me. Missed.
It was lucky he wasn't an alcoholic. If he was, I might've been dead by now.
Then, Sora saved me again. The doorbell had rang, and while Vanitas picked him up in his arms, I cleaned up the mess.
In this tug of war you always win,
Even when I'm right.
Fight after fight, Sora soon turned into a teenager, and we dreamed for the day he turned eighteen.
Vanitas wanted him to move out, while I wanted him to stay until he got a job he could keep.
Another thing to fight about.
Cos you feed me fables from your head
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied
I left him soon after Sora got a job as a dentist when he was 13.
So young to get a job.
I said I've had enough.
But I haven't.
I came back soon after, soaking wet from the rain, letting Vanitas hug me, and kiss my neck.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts,
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that's alright because I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
On my birthday, he gave me a cheap present.
He made up for it with sex.
But I didn't mind. I knew that was how he was.
Money was still a problem, and we still constantly had fights.
He became an alcoholic too. Started with just a couple beers, then turned to vodka, white wine and more.
I watched him turn into a monster.
And I didn't do anything.
So maybe I'm a masochist,
I try to run,
But I don't wanna ever leave,
'Til the walls are going up
In smoke with all our memories
He hit me more and more often.
I "left" him more and more often, but it soon became a habit to leave him, and come back.
He and I, we were like a broken chain.
We could be broken, but always be repaired.
And I know that one day, I would really leave him.
But right now, I would stay with him.
And until then, I would always come back.
But I would always love him, even if I did leave him.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts,
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that's alright because I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
