A/N: Hello everybody :) So, I've decided to make this a collection of one shots. This is just a really random idea I came up with when I was listening to music. I hope you all like it!
The song used in this one shot is 'Sleepless Nights' by Faber Drive. It's a sad song :'(
Disclaimer: I don't own the song or VA :)
Sleepless Nights.
Another sleepless night
I'm still starin' at the ceiling
I can hear him fighting
With her for no good reason
I wish that it would all stop. Mama didn't deserve his abuse. The girls didn't need to be terrified of him. I didn't need to be terrified of him. Terrified of what he'd do next. My family and I constantly lived in fear, fear of him. He treated Mama like dirt. Like an object, rather than a living, breathing person.
It seemed like it was every night that he came here. He only came around to beat Mama. He could care less about us, his own children.
Will this ever end?
Will this house be a home again?
I don't remember one time when we were a happy family. Ever since I can remember, we've been a broken family that suffered from domestic abuse.
If I had my way
I'd corner him and say
Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
The sad thing is, I don't think that I've ever heard him tell Mama that he loved her. She deserved much better than that idiot. She deserved someone who would tell her he loved her, who kissed her on the cheek when he got home from work, or even gave her flowers occasionally. Not some low-life who tells her she's nothing, beats her up and never gives her anything, let alone does anything for her.
Screwing up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
I don't think he regrets anything he does to her. That's the sad part about it.
Another day goes by and nothing changed
He's still the same
I can hear her cryin'
Thinking she's the one to blame
She deals with it, takes all of the beatings, just so that we might be safe. She gives up so much for us, and she shouldn't have to because of him. The guilt that I felt for allowing it to happen ate me up inside.
Will this ever end?
Will this house be a home again?
If I had my way
I'd corner him and say
God, would I ever like to say something. Every time I hear him fighting with Mama, I want to beat the living daylights out of him. Make him feel what he makes her feel. But everytime I get close, I talk myself out of it, thinking that Mama would want me to stay out of it. I just get so angry! At our ages, my sisters and I shouldn't even have to worry about this. My poor little sister cries her eyes out whenever he comes around, because she knows that Mama will be hurt.
Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Loves not enough when you say it
Don't you know you gotta mean it?
Screwing up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go
I wish I had a fairytale life, one where I had a loving father, one who didn't strike fear into my very core.
I needed to stop being the scared little boy that I was and do something, rather than whine to myself about it. I needed to take charge, make him wish he'd never laid a finger on my mother.
Screwing up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Doesn't he understand how great Mama is? Doesn't he see that she doesn't deserve his cruelty?
Another sleepless night
And nothing changed
He's still the same
Another stupid fight and someone's gotta say
No more. I couldn't let this continue. I wouldn't let this continue. I had to do something about it to protect my family. No Moroi will take advantage of my mother, not anymore. We would no longer live in fear, fear of my father. When I'm done with him, he'll never come around here again. I'd make sure of it.
Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Loves not enough when you say it
Don't you know you gotta mean it?
Screwing up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever Put yourself in her position
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go
Never let her go
No, no, no
All she needs is recognition
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go
I, Dimitri Belikov, am going to save my family from my father.
I, Dimitri Belikov, am going to make him leave forever.
I, Dimitri Belikov, am going to make a difference.
