Because Of You, Jeb! Chapter 1, a maximum ride fanfic

Hey Guys! I was just listening to Kelly Clarkson's 'Because Of You' and I just cried, internally. That song reminds me of Max and Jeb. It's so sad. I mean, come on. Don't you all agree?

Disclamer: I don't won anything in this whole one-shot. But the plot.

Max's POV

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

I have been afraid and hurt all my life. Not once, have I had an ounce of forgiveness or hope in my life. All Because Of One Person. Dad.

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Now, I can hardly trust my own family. Look at Angel, for example. What if they did something to her while she was at the School?! I can't believe myself. I can't even trust Fang. I knew him since we were in the storage tanks! Now look at this! All Because Of My Own Father!

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Everytime I do one mistake, The Voice, Jeb, will yell at me and tell me why or how I could be so stupid. My own father dumps everything on me! Why?! What did I do wrong?! I punish myself all the time for whatever he says! All Because Of Jeb!

I can hardly live with this! All this hatred, paranoia, guilt! I can't even love! Now, all I have in my cold, dead heart is hate and his face! All Because Of Him!

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thingEveryday I keep reminding myself that I'm a failure! I have no life, soul, love! All Because Of You, Dad!

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

I HATE YOU, DAD!

I just had to put those last four words in bold. I mean, come on. Max really can't live with herself because of Jeb, her father.
