I've discovered I LOVE doing music fics. Anyway, this is about Jackson's childhood. I'm not EXACTLY sure about what happened to his Mom and Dad, so I'll try to guess. ;) I don't own Simple Plans 'Untitled' or Flight 29 Down, but I LOVE this song! I listen to it so much; I got an idea for a music fic on this. This is when Jackson is around five. His mother and he are in a parking lot.
I open my eyes
I try to see but
I'm blinded by the white light
"Look Mommy, police cars!" Cody Jackson pointed at the flashing automobiles, and made a pretend gun with his fingers. "Boom, boom!" he pointed at his Mother. (Just so ya know, Jackson's first name is Cody… I think.)
I can't remember how
I can't
remember why
I'm lying here
tonight
"Oh no…"
his mother said, all color draining from her face. She suddenly
grabbed her child up in her arms, and started streaking across the
parking lot. She let Jackson down. "Run, run! Hurry!" She ran as
fast as she could, until the police cars surrounded her, flashing
with the sirens going louder than anything little Jackson had ever
heard. His mother fell to the ground, apparently shot with a
tranquilizer dart. Her body was then pulled into one of the cars and
they sped off, leaving only a poor sobbing five year old in the
middle of a parking lot.
And I can't stand the pain
And I can't
make it go away
No I can't
stand the pain
And elderly woman stepped out of a car. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" She said, sympathetically, picking up the screaming child. "Where's your Mommy? Are you lost?"
How could this happen to me
I made my
mistakes
I've got no
where to run
"M-mommy's g-gone! The police t-took her! She's gone!"
"Oh, you precious child," she said, kissing his head. "Don't worry, we'll find her."
The night goes
on
As I'm fading
away
I'm sick of
this life
I just wanna
scream
How could this
happen to me
The woman made a phone call, and then drove Jackson to the Police Station. He looked at all the men and woman in the cells, until he came across a particular one. "M-mommy?"
The dirty blonde raised her head slowly. "I betrayed you," she croaked, tears cascading down her face. Her eyes were ringed with black, mascara running. He never saw his own Mother this way. "Go away…" she whispered, hiding her face.
"Mommy, why are you…"
"GO AWAY!" She roared, slapping him from behind the bars of her cell. "NOW!" The child screamed, and ran, tears falling from his icy blue eyes and latching onto the kind woman who rescued him.
Everybody's
screaming
I try to make a
sound but no one hears me
The woman bit her lip. "Your Daddy is coming for you," she said. He looked at her, and held onto her dress and cried.
I'm slipping
off the edge
I'm hanging by
a thread
I wanna start
this over again
Jackson woke up in his own bed in his room. His Dad was sitting on it, gazing at his hands. "Daddy? What's the matter?"
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't
explain what happened
And I can't
erase the things that I've done
No I can't
"Your Mommy is very bad, Cody. She killed someone. That's why she went to jail." His father closed his eyes for a long time.
"W-when is she coming back?"
"She isn't, Cody. Never."
How could this
happen to me
I made my
mistakes
I've got no
where to run
The night goes
on
As I'm fading
away
A month later, Jackson found his Father on the floor, blood dripping from his chest and mouth. "DADDY!"
I'm sick of
this life
I just wanna
scream
"Joseph Jackson committed suicide a short while after his wife, Mary Jackson, went to Jail. We will always have a memory of him." The pastor said, closing his Bible. "May he rest in peace."
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
"Here's your new foster home, Cody." It was 10 years later. Jackson had been Transferred to yet ANOTHER foster home.
"It's Jackson," He said coldly.
Ever since he became a foster, he was quiet, sullen, and seemed hurt by the world. "Oh… okay." He knew he shouldn't take all his anger and depression out on this person, but he couldn't help it. A short, skinny woman greeted them with a smile on her face.
"You must be…"
"Jackson. Nice to meet you."
I've got no where to run
The night goes
on
As I'm fading
away
I just wanna scream
How could this
happen to me
