SONG: Broken Angel- Boyce Avenue. I don't own it.
You showed him all the best of you
But I'm afraid your best
Wasn't good enough
Stacie heard the front door slam open. A flash of blonde ran past her to the bathroom. Stacie ran after it and opened the door, joining the sobbing girl. She looked into the crying girls eyes and almost broke down herself. The spark they usually held was gone.
"Bree, what's wrong?"
"My... my dad... I'm never going to be good enough. I'm the worst daughter ever."
"What do you mean? You just passed all your classes with straight A pluses and won the ICCAs with the first ever all female group to get to the finals."
"No. Beca did."
And know he never wanted you
At least not the way
You wanted yourself to be loved
And you feel like you were a mistake
"He never wanted me. He's never going to see me as more than an inconvenience that made him marry mom. He likes my brothers better."
"How do you know?"
"He told me so." Aubrey confessed.
He's not worth all those tears that won't go away
"Anyone who would do that to their own daughter isn't worth crying over." Stacie whispered, wiping a tear from the other girl's cheek.
I wish you could see that
Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen
"No. That's not true. If I can just be a little better then he'll like me as much as James and Mark." Aubrey denied.
Will he? Stacie wondered.
Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams
Oh broken angel
Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe
"I'm going to quit the Bellas." Aubrey decided.
"What? No, you can't do that." Stacie said.
"I'm never going to make it as a singer. I might as well just give up." Aubrey shrugged.
"Why would you think that?" Stacie frowned.
"He told me that, too." Aubrey replied. Stacie's blood boiled.
And now you've grown up
With this notion that you were to blame
"It's all my fault. It's always my fault. I'm a disappointment."
And you seem so strong sometimes
She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes. "I'm fine." The girl sighed.
"Don't shut me out."
"I'm not. I'll be okay."
But I know that you still feel the same
As that little girl who shined like an angel
Even after his lazy heart put you through hell
The blonde girl put her head on Stacie's lap. "Sing to me." There was something about her. As she looked up at the brunette, she felt the last of her walls fall down. She was totally vulnerable in front of this girl.
She looks so beautiful. He doesn't deserve such a beautiful daughter. Beautiful and damaged, Stacie thought. He did this. He took that spark. She sighed and began to sing:
Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter
No one deserves to be treated this way, especially not by their own father. I will get your spark back. Stacie thought.
But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
You're just a broken angel
"I don't want to be a Posen anymore." Aubrey muttered as she fell asleep. "It's always my fault. He never does anything wrong."
And I promise that it's not your fault
It was never your fault
And I promise that it's not your fault
It was never your fault...
"Good timing." The blonde joked, as sleep overcame her. A single tear trickled down her cheek.
Stacie picked her up, slowly and gently, and carried the sleeping girl into her room, and laid her on the bed. Then she laid down next to her, still singing.
Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter
But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
You're just a broken angel
She sighed, and kissed the girl on her forehead. "I will get your spark back. My broken angel.
