Author's note: Hello everyone. I just wanted to do a song fic for Hetalia. As you might know, I am a US/UK fan, but I hade to use Fr/UK for this one. It may not be the best, sorry about that.
Warning: they're not nations, their humans and England's a girl.

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And it's tearin' me down
Little Alfred looked into his parent's bedroom to see his mommy crying. He knew that she couldn't see him, and that Alice Kirkland-Bonnefoy hated to cry. She believe it was a sign of weakness. Alfred hated to see his mother cry, but it seemed to be happening more and more these days.
I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my bed
I told Dad you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
CRASH!
Alfred and Matthew sat up in their beds once they heard the sound of breaking glass. They could here their mother saying some nasty things to their father.
The next day, Alfred saw his father. He walked up to the Frenchman and said, "Papa, mommy didn't mean those nasty things she said." The Frenchman said nothing, and left the house.
You fight about money
'Bout me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
Francis and Alice fought about everything.
Money was one of the many things.
"Would you stop spending all our money on that damn wine!" Alice yelled at her husband.
"Je n'ai pas la vitesse tout notre argent!" (I do not speed all our money!)
"Oh yes you do! For you're little mistress! Do you think I'm stupid you frog?"
Alfred and Matthew were also another reason.
"You yell at me for buying wine, and then you drink yourself silly. Our children are in the house, Alice." Francis said, as calmly as he could. The Drunk woman glared at him as she wobbly made her way to him.
"Shut up! At least I'm home with them! You're spend all of you're time with that slag!" She said. "You don't even know their birthday!"
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
Alfred hated it. He might only be eight, but if felt like Mattie and he were growing up in WWIII. He can't even remember a time when his parents got along. He didn't want love to destroy him like it did to his family.
Can we work it out?
(Can we?)
Can we be a family?
(Can we?)
I promise I'll be better
(I promise)
Mommy, I'll do anything
(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
Alfred often wondered if his parents could work it out. He would do anything for to make it better. He would be the best kid in the world. He hated seeing his father leaving all the time. Alfred saw his father's back leaving more then he saw his face.
Daddy please stop yelling
(Stop)
I can't stand the sound
(Can't stand the sound)
Make Mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around
He really wanted his father to stop yelling in French. He didn't know what he was saying, but Mattie did. It was making Mattie cry. Alfred held his brother telling him it would all be okay in the end.
He couldn't stand the sound. Papa please stop yelling! Make Mommy stop crying! Alfred begged in his head. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He had to be the hero and help Mattie.
Alfred heard the front door slam. A sure sign that his papa left the house.
Daddy don't go, I need you around. He thought, holding back the tears.
My mama, she loves you
(I know it)
No matter what she says is true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too
I ran away today
Ran from the noise, ran away
(Ran away)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way
"Alfred?" Matthew asked his older twin as they colored at school.
"Yeah Mattie?"
"Do you think Mommy love Papa?" The younger one asked as he colored a picture of a polar bear.
"I think she does, in a way." Alfred said, looking down at his own picture.
He knew that deep down, Alice did love his father. No matter what she said. She was just hurt, so she hurt him back. But Francis often forgot, Alfred and Matthew loved him too.
One day, Alfred ran away. He couldn't take it, he hated it and he didn't want to go back. But Alfred remembered Matthew. He had too. He had no choice.

Let's play pretend

(That's right)
(That's right)
Alfred looked up at the smiling faces of the Kirkland-Bonnefoy family. They looked so happy. Why couldn't it be like that in real life. Couldn't they play pretend that it was all alright.
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
(No, no)
I don't want two addresses
(No)
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my Mommy
Have to change her last name!
Alfred knew some kids at school who didn't have married parents. He didn't want to be like them. He didn't want to split the holidays, or have two addresses. He didn't want a stepbrother anyways. He really didn't want his mommy to have to change her last name.
