Chapter 2: Thank You

A/N: I've decided to update this, because I really like the idea and I love Simple Plan. This is going to be a series of Simple Plan songfics. Please read and review. It's in Chris' P.O.V.

I thought that I could always count on you

I thought that nothing could come between us two

We said as long as we would stick together

We'd be alright, we'd be okay.

For as long as I could remember, my brother and I had been extremely close. Wyatt was my best friend, and I was sure I was his. We had this bond that only brothers can have. There was a time when we did everything together. I remember a time when I could come to Wyatt for anything. Whether it is a scraped knee, trouble at school, or girl problems, Wyatt was always there for me. He knew I'd do the same for him.

We both thought it would stay that way forever. I remember one night, when I was about 8 years old. I had a nightmare, and I went to my brother's room as always. Wyatt always knew just what to say to comfort me. That day we made each other a promise. No matter what happened, we would be okay as long as we were together. Wyatt broke that promise.

But I was stupid
and you broke me down
I'll never be the same again.

Wyatt started changing two years ago. It was triggered by our mother's death, which I referred to only as the event. It was so subtle at first that I barely noticed it. I was blind. I couldn't see what was happening to my own brother. When I was sure of what was happening, I still wouldn't believe it. I tried to believe all the crap he said about there being no good or evil, only power. When I saw the things you did, the people you killed, I couldn't kid myself anymore. The old Wyatt was gone.

So thank you for showing me,
That best friends can not be trusted,
And thank you for lying to me,
Your friendship and good times we had you can have them back

I once trusted you Wyatt. I trusted you with my life. Not so long ago, I would die for you, and you would die for me. I never thought I would fear you. I never could have imagined that you would try to kill me. You still call me brother. You're not my brother anymore. My brother Wyatt Matthew Halliwell was a good person. Now, you're a monster.

I sometimes wonder what mom would say about what you were doing. I know she would be disappointed, horrified even. You told me she would be proud that you were taking charge and making a change. I know better big brother. One of the things that mattered most to mom was fighting the good fight.

I wonder why it always has to hurt,
For every lesson that you have to learn.
I won't forget what you did to me,
How you showed me things,
I wish I'd never seen.

Since you turned, you've tried time and time again to get me on your side. Of course, you tried to turn our cousins and our sister, and our aunts, but I seemed to be your special target. One day, you brought me to your dungeon. I saw innocent people there, chained to walls for what you called insolence. What you've become disgusts me.

A few months after the first incident, I followed you on what you called your "treasure hunts". You were tracing a witch with the power of electrokinesis. You found her that day, Wyatt. She tried to defend herself, but you were too strong. That's when I tried to stop you. You threw me aside with a casual flick of your wrist. Then you killed her and absorbed her power. That was the first time you used your powers against me. That's when I knew my old brother was completely gone.

But I was stupid,
And you broke me down,
I'll never be the same again.

So thank you for showing me,
That best friends can not be trusted,
And thank you for lying to me,
Your friendship the good times we had you can have them back

I still remember the promise we made each other. I made you a new promise that I know I have to keep. I promised that some day, I would save you. You told me you didn't need saving. You said that you were being your true self. You were meant to be, and you were, the essence of all good.

I wish I knew why you changed. I wish I knew why you went against everything our family stood for. Now that you're evil, I'm the only one left to protect Patty. It's not as if dad ever comes around anymore. We don't need him. We've never needed him. You know I won't let you keep terrorizing the world brother. Mom wouldn't stand for that, and neither will I. If I can't save you, I will kill you.


When the tables turn again,
You'll remember me my friend,
You'll be wishing I was there for you.

I hold on to the hope, that one day you'll change. I can tell that the Wyatt I once knew is there somewhere. You could never kill me. You still love me. Evil doesn't love. There's still hope. I swore to myself that I would fight you. We have fought on numerous occasions. You know I can't kill you. You're my brother.

We can't be the brothers we used to. You are evil, and I will never join you. You kill people, both good and evil. The worst part of it is that you enjoy it. You seem to feed off their pain and enjoy their terror. That is what truly scares me. I still have hope, because I know how you used to be. I know how you were supposed to be. You were meant to be the essence of all good. I will save you.

I'll be the one you'll miss the most,
But you'll only find my ghost.
As time goes by,
You'll wonder why,
You're all alone.

I know that deep down you yearn for the way it used to be. I can see it in your eyes. Every time we face each other, I know that you wish we could still be brothers. I wish that too. Unlike you, I know that we will never be best friends again. By the time you realize that, it will be too late. I will be gone.

You think all your demon lackeys will be true to you once you're no longer the biggest bully in the underworld? They don't care about you. Just like you said, it's all about power. They're only your "friends" because they want your power. Once you realize that, they'll leave. Then you'll be alone. You pretend you wouldn't care, but I know that you will.

So thank you for showing me,
That best friends can not be trusted,
And thank you for lying to me,
Your friendship and good times we had you can have them back.

I no longer trust you the way I once did. In fact, because of you, I trust no one. Now I lead the resistance against you. Most of our family is dead now, because of you and your army. Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Paige, Uncle Kyle, Penny. They're all dead. I don't want to believe you felt nothing when you murdered the.

The only ones left are me, Mel, Patty and grandpa. We're staying at grandpas now. It's safe…for now. It's a bit ironic that we're worried about being safe from you. There was a time when you were the one to protect us. That time is long gone. You are a murderer. I know now that you're never going to change on your own. You need lots of help. Sometimes I think it's more then I can give.

So thank you, for lying to me,
So thank you, for all the times you let me down
So thank you, for lying to me,
So thank you, your friendship you can have it back

You told me, right after you changed, that you would take care of me. You lied. Now, you do quite the opposite. I never could have imagined that this would happen. I wish it didn't have to be this way. You gave me no choice. I will stop you one way or another. I still will never be able to kill you.

It has been three years since mom died. Three long, pain filled years. I wish that the family could be how it once was. We were so close. We were so happy. In that one day, the world went to hell. One day when you were very angry with me, you told me to go to hell. I didn't have to go there. I'm already there. Take our friendship, and our history, and our bond, and just…shove it.
