Song:Mad by Ne yo

I'm looking at her across the living room mentally kicking myself for the damage I'd already done. I mean I don't know how this could have happened… then again I do know. I didn't drink that much at the party, I didn't let go of my drink through the whole time, and I sure as hell don't love anyone else but her but once you separate the truth from the fact and opinion and the obvious, you find a logical and TRUE answer: it was pure lust.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh…

She's starin' at me,

I'm sittin', wonderin' what she's thinkin'.

Mmmmm

Nobody's talkin',

'Cause talkin' just turns into screamin'.

Ohhh...

Lately all we been doin' is fighting. So you can understand why I slept with Shelly right? It was a moment of weakness I swear. I promised her the world, I promised her in my vows, I promised her when she told me she was pregnant, I promised her once I looked into my son and daughter twinkling brown and blue eyes that I would never let her or my family…our family down, I promised Taylor Bolton I would never love anyone like I do her which still applies but… the lipstick on my collar and the perfume on clothes say different.

And now is I'm yellin' over her,

She's yellin' over me.

All that that means

Is neither of us is listening,

(And what's even worse).

That we don't even remember why were fighting.

1 month ago I came home with too much on my mind. I'm a detective and you tend to come home like that sometimes. Anyways like I was saying, I came in and dropped my jacket on the holder and played with the
kids for a little bit…

So both of us are mad for...

[Hook]

Nothin'

(Fighting for).

Nothin'

(Crying for).

Nothin'

(Whoahhh).

But we won't let it go for

Nothin'

(No not for)

Nothin'.

This should be nothin' to a love like what we got.

Flashback

"Taylor?" I ask coming into our bedroom. Normally she would be cooking or grading work or sometimes helping the kids pick out their clothes for the next day (seeing as they are only 4 ½) but this time I came into the bedroom to see her crying. "Baby what's wrong?"

"Who is she?"She asked me as she lifted her head to reveal puffy swollen eyes.

"Who is who Tay?"This time I walk slowly into the room.

"Don't play stupid Troy who the hell is she? The woman you messin' around with?!"She screamed at me throwing a zebra print bra at me.

"Tay…look it was a mistake." I say trying to reason with her.

Ohhh, baby...

I know sometimes

It's gonna rain...

But baby, can we make up now

'Cause I can't sleep through the pain

(Cant sleep through the pain).

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed

(Mad at you),

And I don't want you to go to bed

(Mad at me).

No, I don't wanna go to bed

(Mad at you),

And I don't want you to go to bed

(Mad at me)

Ohhh no no no...

"A mistake? Troy how could you?! We've been married for nearly 5 years and you sleep with Jenny?! First of all, how the hell do you mistakenly sleep with someone, especially your own sluttish co worker?!" She screams at me tears falling slowly down her cheek.

"Taylor it's Shelly and you know I love you! Look you know I love you I just can't take us fighting all the time!" I yell back closing the door behind me. Normally if we'd yell we don't want the kids to hear us.

And it gets me upset, girl

When you're constantly accusing.

(Askin' questions like you've already known).

We're fighting this war, baby

When both of us are losing.

(This ain't the way that love is supposed to go).

Whoaaaaaaaaa...

[What happened to workin' it out].

We've fallen into this place

Where you ain't backin' down

And I ain't backin' down.

"I could give a rat's ass what the hell her name is! You can't take us fighting all the time?! Why the hell did you marry me then?! Once you committed to me, you committed to our arguments and our life!"

"I know that Taylor I just didn't expect for you to be such a little bitch 24/7! You're constantly accusing me of cheating or lying when you know I love you and our family!" However that second sentence didn't really matter once I saw her face change from pissed to angry to hurt all in one second.

So what the hell do we do now...

It's all for...

[Hook]

Nothin'

(Fighting for).

Nothin'

(Crying for).

Nothin'

(Whoahhh).

But we won't let it go for

Nothin'

(No not for)

Nothin'.

This should be nothin' to a love like what we got.

Ohhh, baby...

"Did she come around Bethany and Brian?"

'What?"

"You heard me Bolton! I said did she come around our children Bethany and Brian Bolton?! I would only hope if you don't have any type of consideration for me your wife you would have some for your children!"

I know sometimes

It's gonna rain...

But baby, can we make up now

'Cause I can't sleep through the pain

(Cant sleep through the pain).

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed

(Mad at you),

And I don't want you to go to bed

(Mad at me).

No, I don't wanna go to bed

(Mad at you),

And I don't want you to go to bed

(Mad at me)

Ohhh no no no...

"No Taylor she didn't! Are you happy?!It's like my life has been a living hell since I married you. Half the times you're always bitching at me I wonder if Brian and Bethany are even really mine!" That did it. Her voice cracked, more tears flowed down her cheeks and that's what put the icing on my cake.

Oh baby this love ain't gonna be perfect,

(Perfect, perfect, oh oh).

And just how good it's gonna be.

We can't fuss and we can't fight

Long as everything all right between us

Before we go to sleep.

"So that's what your really think of me and oyur kids Troy?"Her voice cracked a little more and she got quiet. "What ever happened to our vows? What happened to the Troy I used to know? The Troy Michael Bolton that used to tuck his children in at night and he used to say how he wouldn't trade his family for the world? The Troy Bolton whose eyes would turn a darker shade of blue anytime he saw a man stare at me? Huh? What happened to him!" During that sentence she was fingering her wedding ring.

"People change Taylor." What really did happen to that Troy Bolton?

"Yeah they do Troy. People change for the better, try and fix broken relationships and even worse families, hold the people they love close and never let them go."She said handing me the wedding ring. The ring I gave to her on November 8th, 2009

"Yeah so if they never let them go what the hell are you doing Taylor?!Your supposed to stick by me!"

"I'm not leaving Troy,I'm taking a break for the sake of our children."With that said she left the room leaving me feeling like an ass.

Baby, we're gonna be happy.

I know sometimes

It's gonna rain...

But baby, can we make up now

'Cause I can't sleep through the pain

(Cant sleep through the pain)...

End of Flashback

Since then I haven't heard or seen from her. The only time I saw the kids is when I stopped by my parents or her parent's house. Are I really going to get my wife Taylor and our two children Bethany and Brian Bolton back? Hell yeah I am! I gotta realize my priorities in life right now and sort things out because I can't no we can't sleep through the pain any longer.

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed

(Mad at you),

And I don't want you to go to bed

(Mad at me).

No, I don't wanna go to bed

(Mad at you),

And I don't want you to go to bed

(Mad at me)

Ohhh no no no...
