I Hate Everything About You- Three Days Grace

(written for firefoxsilver9)

Our life started out perfect and then ended up horrid. I can't even look at him now without getting angry. Before he cost me the title, we were best friends. Everyone backstage knew that Rey and I were as close as we claimed to be. What they didn't know was that we were even closer than they knew. We weren't just best friends, we were lovers. Were being the operative word. He disgusts me now. I remember the night out relationship ended…

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

I had just lost the title that should have been rightfully mine because a man I called a friend cheated me out of it. And it wasn't the first time. Rey had caused me to lose a few matches against people who had the title. I didn't care if it was a fatal four way or not, Rey had been the one who caused me to lose. He should have let me claim what was rightfully mine. I was furious. I let my temper explode and I viciously attacked him. I didn't listen to his cries of mercy or his pleas for help. He shouldn't have angered me.

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

When I got backstage, I calmed a little bit. I still didn't regret what I had done out there. In fact, I was proud of myself. That would teach everyone that I was serious about getting what I wanted. When he walked backstage I could see a vicious and malignant look in his eyes. He stormed over to me and shouted, "Hombre what the hell was that for?"

"You should have known better than to get between me and the title!" I shouted back, "I mean, c'mon Rey, you were suppose to be my best friend!"

Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you

"It was a fatal four way match Dave! The fans would have been suspicious if I had just let you win! And besides, that doesn't make up for the excuse that you beat the hell out of me!" Rey screamed. Even with the anger in his voice, he still sounded adorable.

"I wanted that title and I could have had it if not for what you had done! I want that title more than I want anything else in life!"
Rey looked upset, "Even me obviously."

Why do I love you
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get

I looked away and then looked back at him, "You really don't get it. If you were a real lover you would have let me have the title."

"And if you were a real lover you would have decided that a title didn't mean as much to you as our love," Rey retorted, "And besides what would Eddie think if he could see us bickering like children."

"Eddie is dead Rey and I can't live in the past anymore," I replied. The words were out of my mouth before I could realize what I had said. Had I realized what it was I had said then I wouldn't have said it.

But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

"I can't believe what you just said," Rey looked at me angry. "What did I ever see in you?"

"You saw someone that could protect your pathetic hide." I growled. And I walked away. I didn't want to see him again. Because I knew in my heart that if I had just stood there talking to him about what I had done I would have broken in to tears and begged him to take me back. And Dave Batista doesn't beg anyone for anything.

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Only when I stop to think
About you, I know

"You know I'll always love you!" Rey shouted as I walked away. Those words pierced through me but I didn't dare turn around. I didn't want him to see me weak and I sure as hell didn't want him to see me sorry. I meant what I had done. I meant it 100%.

Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Now as I sit here alone in my locker room I reflect on the life I use to live. I reflect on the love Rey and I once shared and a part of me wonders if I should take him back. The other part of me knows that I should.

You hate everything about me
Why do you love me
I hate
You hate


I hate
You love me
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
