Author's Notes: This is another sad Rowen fic done by yours truly. I'll try to write a happy fic for him one day. If anyone gives me a good idea for a happy Rowen fic, I'll be glad to take the challenge. I need to work on more humor. Anyway: I want to point out that this is a little darker then my other Rowen fics. You'll see why once you read. Please leave a review when you're done. Flames will be laughed at!

Hell Is For Children:
By: Fancy Face
They cry in the dark
So you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
So you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget
All the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Since his mom left, Rowen's life with his dad became a living hell. Just a few days after his mother left, Mr. Hashiba started to drink, and he wasn't a nice person when he drank. When he drank he would yell at Rowen, telling him that his mother left because he was a bad son. Later on, when Mr. Hashiba got sick of the yelling and he started to hit Rowen. However, he hit him in places where the bruises could be hidden. When the hitting was done, Rowen dashed to his room. There he turned off the light, so his room would be dark. Then he would crawl up onto his bed, curl up in a ball, and start to cry.
Because Hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
Rowen wanted so much to run away but he couldn't bring himself to do it. All he had was his father, and even though he abused him, Rowen still loved him. He didn't know if his father loved him or not anymore. If he did, he only showed it by hurting his only son.
It's all so confusing
This brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes
And then apologize
You're daddy's good girl
And don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy
And you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing
The abuse continued as Rowen got older, and it became more harmful for him. A lot of people didn't know that Rowen was no longer a virgin. His dad had taken that one thing, that was his, away from him, and that hurt him so badly. Rowen wanted to wait to share that experience with his wife, if he ever got married, but he couldn't do that now. He wouldn't tell anyone that awful secret. Not even, to his closest friends. However, his friends did start to notice some of the bruises that kept showing up on his body. Rowen just told him that he fell down and hurt himself, and most of them believed him. The ones who didn't believed him tried to help Rowen out, but Rowen just pushed them away.
Because Hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
When Rowen reached adulthood, he finally got the courage to move away from his father, without his knowing. Rowen had thought by moving, the abuse would stop, but it didn't. While he slept, the past came back to him, and he could feel the pain. The Hell would never stop.
No
Hell is for children
[Song: Hell Is For Children, By: Pat Benetar]
Author's Notes: (continued): I told you this was a little darker then my usual Rowen fics. I got the idea for this one because of the song. I love Pat Benetar, and thought the song would go for an abusive Rowen fic. Oh, and before I go. I would like to point out that I know Rowen was never abused but come on it's fun to use him as the abusive one in the group. Well, hopefully I did well with this. Let me know how I did.
