Ok, ppl are actually reading, that's amazing. Um… ok, chapter 2, I actually wrote this first but then I thought Breakaway was a better opening chapter, so here it is. Enjoy.

"Because Of You"

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

She couldn't stand it. The pain was too much. Everything reminded her of him.

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

Everyday at school as she passed her old locker, she was reminded of him. How he had pressesd her against the cold metal and kissed her… she could never resist him, even when there were hundreds of people around, watching them.

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because you 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

Since their break-up three weeks ago, she wasn't even able to look at another guy. She had changed her locker, because she wasn't able to go to that place everyday. She had even stopped speaking to some people that were connected to him.

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

She told everyone she was fine. She refused to let herself cry in front of anyone. Only alone, in her room while her mother was sleeping.

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 thing

She had tried putting everything that reminded her of him into a box, just like she'd done the first time. But that would have meant putting the whole world in a box.

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

Tristan Dugrey had broken Rory Gilmore's heart, and she was still trying to recover. But nothing would work.

Because of you

Because of you
