Love The Way You Lie, a harry potter fanfic

"I don't care!" Eileen yelled "Mother I love Tobias and nothing you say will change my mind!"

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

Eileen closed her eyes and attempted to stop the tears from falling. The bed creaked as Tobias sat down beside her.

"Ellie I'm so sorry" he said "I was just upset I didn't mean any of those things you know I love you" he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Eileen turned into him and began to sob.

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it

"Tobias!" Eileen yelled, she smiled and placed a hand on her stomach "Tobias I have wonderful news" she called out.

Tobias appeared in the doorway to the den "Wha' you wan'?" he slurred drunkenly. But Eileen refused to let that bring her down.

"Im pregnant" she said beaming. Tobias merely grunted,

"How do I know it's even mine?" Eileen recoiled as if he had slapped her. "Well!" Tobias demanded "I've seen the way you whore yourself in that freaky world of yours"

"Tobias your drunk" Eileen stated shakily "We'll discuss this when you're somber" and she turned and fled the house.

Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

"You whore" Tobias cried dragging Eileen up the stairs into their bedroom.

"Tobias stop you're hurting me!" Eileen cried out struggling against Tobias' hold.

"Shut up" Tobias yelled slapping her "I saw you hugging that man! Who else you been fucking around with? Huh?" he slapped her again.

Eileen slowly raised her head a stark outline of Tobias' hand on her cheek. Tobias just looked at her before stomping from the room. Alone in the dark Eileen curled up and began to cry.

"Baby" Tobias whispered gently "Oh god I'm so sorry baby and I swear I'm never gonna drink again". Silence. "Baby….Ellie please look at me"

Eileen raised her head and Tobias saw the bruise he made on her face "Oh Ellie" he cried gathering Eileen up in his arms "I'm so sorry I swear ill never hit you again" he whispered pressing a kiss into her dark hair.

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
Pin 'em

"Shut that brat up woman!" came the drunken yell from the living room; Eileen cringed and began to rock Severus to sleep.

"Shhh sweetheart" she crooned "Mummy's got you" the whimpers began to die as the infant fell asleep. Eileen sighed and kissed Severus' forehead before placing him in his cradle. She paused at the doorway to the nursery and raised a hand to her face where bruises stood out in sharp contrast to her pale skin "Mummy's got you" she whispered again "and she's never letting go".

So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

Severus clutched a ragged teddy bear to his chest as he watched Tobias yell at Eileen.

"Please Tobias" Eileen whimpered when Tobias grabbed her by the hair "Not now Severus is watching us" Tobias snorted and threw Eileen to the floor.

"C'mere brat" Tobias beckoned Severus over to him. Severus slowly shuffled over clutching his bear even tighter. Tobias smiled down at Severus then struck him hard in the face "What have I told you brat" he roared hitting Severus again "about being in the way! And shut up" he yelled over Severus' wailing.

"Please Tobias" Eileen cried throwing herself in front of Severus "Don't hit him he's just a child" Tobias snorted in disgust as he looked down at them then grabbed his coat.

"I'm going to the bar make sure he's out of the way when I get back" he sneered down at Severus before stomping from the house and slamming the door behind him.

"Whoa you're getting big" Tobias cried swinging Severus up into his arms and settling him on his lap. "How old are you now hmmmm?"

Severus giggled and raised four tiny fingers in the air.

"No" Tobias gasped pretending to be shocked "You're much too big to be four you have to be at least four and a half" he cried before tickling Severus. Severus shrieked with laughter and began squirming attempting to get away.

Eileen looked in upon the scene and smiled before turning back to the dinner she was cooking. She was glad the hard times of last year had passed, since the incident Tobias hadn't touched alcohol or his family. Eileen only hoped the good times would last.

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity

Eileen sighed as she came home from a double shift at work Tobias had lost his job and the drinking had begun again.

"Mummy" a small timid voice called out from upstairs. Eileen smiled and opened her arms

"Yes baby I'm home" s mall black blur flew down the stairs into her arms. She hugged Severus tightly before lifting his chin to see his face. A red hand print was splayed across his left cheek. Eileen bit back a small sob and hugged Severus again before standing with him in her arms.

"Tobias I'm serious this time" she said as she closed the door to Severus' room where she had just put him down for a nap. "You touch Severus again and I will leave you"

"C'mon" Tobias slurred "It was an accident". Eileen merely sighed before standing in front of him to capture his attention.

"I mean it Tobias Snape" she said "You're a good man and I do really love you but accident or not lay your hand on my son again and we're leaving you".

In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

"You bitch" Tobias yelled hitting Eileen in the face "why the fuck did I ever marry you! You and that brat of yours are nothing but worthless" he shouted kicking Eileen as she lay curled up on the floor. "I should have left you when I had the chance"

Severus watched as Eileen carefully covered up the black eye Tobias had given her. "Mum?" he asked softly.

"Yes Sev" she said looking down at her son.

"Why do you stay with him if he hurts you?"

Eileen sighed and looked into her son's black eyes so like hers and far too old for a five year old's face "I stay with Tobias because I love….." she closed her eyes and hugged Severus close "I stay because I love the way he lies."
