Okay so this idea came about from talking to a reader who brought up the point some things in my stories are seldom if ever done, which came up again in my mind when I was reading a story... and well that lead me to this. My reader should know who they are... you caused this... I hope you feel happy. This will also be going between Ruby and Blake's POV

Chapter 1:The Never Ending Nightmare

Why did life have to suck for me? What did I ever do to deserve this god forsaken torture? I began to swing my legs over the edge. Debating if I'd have the courage to just throw myself over. It was a steep fall. Five stories. The only reason I couldn't, is the risk that I might survive. Hell it might cause them to get worse. The wind did feel nice though. The few droplets of freezing rain began to sting but it was a lot better then what would happen if I went home.

I pulled my legs up and walked towards the stairs. Heh throwing myself down them would the job as well. Was the only thing I thought as I climbed down them. Each step, made it harder and harder to do the simple deed I was constantly to much of a coward to finally do. They were always right. Why could I never do something so simple? Two seconds is all that fall would take. Two final seconds. My life has been shit so all it would take is two seconds to finally be over with this abysmal life.

I can go home but dad would be there. I can't suffer him two nights in a row... not to mention Yang would be home soon after dad was done. Drunk like always. I could always go to Jaune's but he would tell Yang and I want to avoid that hell hole. I could go to Ren's... he was always nice enough to sense when I didn't want to go home... but that would be literally the second place they would look. Hopefully he won't be to mad about the time I get home, if I can't stay anywhere else I'm going to at least take the scenic route home. It is at least the only grace he should give me but he won't. I'll be damned though if I'm heading straight there.

The rain continued to sting my face, it was a refreshing type of pain. Not like the bruises Yang left. I walked passed all the places me and Yang used to play. Before she became the alcoholic beater. If only I knew back then what would happen now days. It would have made it easier on me when Yang started to drink. Hell I wish mom was still alive then none of this would be happening. It was a pity I still remembered how to cry. It would be a lot easier if I could just forget it, like how I forgot what dad was like before mom died.

I must have been lost in thought because when I looked up from the pavement I was staring at the house that was nothing but a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. The two story house. The white and grey paint job on the house made me realise how appropriate it was. A depressing paint job for something that causes me suffering. Hopefully the fat ass was passed out so I could get at least a few hours sleep before Yang got home. I know it was just wishful thinking. He was never asleep until after I got home. Why could I never get a lucky break.

I stood in front of the door debating if it was worth it to open the door. No matter how I cut it, it was never worth it. The only 'pro' on to go against a long list of 'cons' was that at least the few friends I have wouldn't know about what goes on. This way I can still appear innocent to them. I can still be the innocent little girl that like cookies and puppies. The second I get home I'm nothing more but a stress reliever for Yang and dad. Before I could turn around and walk away the door flew open and there stood one of the many terrors of my life. He smelt like nothing but whiskey.

I stared at the ground. He always made it clear that I should never speak to him unless he spoke to me. I was never aloud to look at him. That did make what was about to come easier. I didn't need to see his face. He didn't even ask where I was. He just pulled me in by my hair and slammed the door shut. That was the last chance that someone may be able to help me tonight.

He dragged me down to the basement. The only room he claimed I was worthy to have. He threw me onto the bed and held my head down. The only thing that could ever get me through him violating me was thinking of how I had a place he could never touch me. My memories, mainly the happy ones I shared with my mom. When ever I scraped my knee she would put me on her lap and put a band-aid on it after giving it a quick kiss to make it better. The tears began to sting my eyes as he began to thrust. I tried to force those thoughts from my mind as I forced myself to remember the days me and mom used to make cookies and eat the raw dough.

He was quickly done and walked out. Leaving me to curl up into a ball and began the nightly ritual of crying myself to sleep. At least there was never a guarantee thing that Yang would come home. Maybe I could have one nice thing tonight. Maybe I can just get a some sleep before I had to go to school and suffer more of the living hell people felt the need to put me through. Why could I never work up the courage to kill myself? Was it the possibility that I might live? I could always slit my wrists or throat. It would only take minute at most once I cut the vital parts. It also would have less of a chance they can help. Or I can just tie a rope around my neck. Not like either of the people in the house would care enough to attempt to revive me.

Before long I fell asleep and was awoken by Yang slamming my door stomping down the stairs. Who ever she bet on in the boxing matches must have lost. I could attempt to fake sleep but it would make what was come a lot more painful. "GOD DAMNIT RUBY! WHY IS IT THAT ALL I BET ON FAIL!?" Yang yelled. It was a rhetorical question. She would always do this. Drink herself stupid and take her anger out on me At least the bullies at school would avoid places that could be seen. Yang had no kind of mercy. She jumped onto me bed pinning me between her legs as she punched my ribs a few times. The pain from each hit was excruciating. I always use to joke and say it would in the morning but it was unimaginably painful now. Each hit it felt like my ribs would cave in. The last punch she threw connected with my face. I could already feel my right eye beginning to swell.

She jumped of me after delivering a kick to my ribs. She stormed back up stairs. At least the won't come back down. I can sleep for the last hour before I need to get up and leave. At least the outside world was always a nice thing to me. Granted a few people at school would make it difficult but some teachers where nice. Plus Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren would be nice and make it better.

I somehow managed to get back to sleep. The beatings had just become the normal thing I no longer even bothered to try and mend the injuries. It was pointless. Yang would just get home the next night and add more. When I woke up next it wasn't from Yang or my dad entering my room it was from the alarm I had set so I could get to school on time. I quickly changed into some jeans and a black shirt and pulled on my red hoodie. I grabbed my bag and ran up stairs and out the front door. You never know today may be my lucky day and I get hit by a truck.

I continued my speed as I ran all the way to school. The sun was beginning to rise it was going to be one of the cloudless days which meant it was going to be a cold early spring day. She could thankfully make some excuse to stay at Nora's or Pyrrha's for a night. That was if dad was still sober by the time lunch rolled around. It was a long shot but it would at least give me one night filled with sleep. The worst either ever did was want to talk about any crush they had in school. It was obvious to anyone that Pyrrha liked Jaune and Nora liked Ren. As for myself anyone I liked got scared away from Yang being a protective sister. It was really so she wouldn't lose her favourite punching bag.

As I slowed down to a stroll as I walked through the front doors I was greeted with a few faces, I didn't know a single one of them. Anyone that would acknowledge me with just a simple 'Hi' anyone that seemed to get close to me seemed to push me away after a few days, well everyone except the four people who decided to stay around. The only people who didn't eventually join one of many groups who would bully me. Those groups seemed to grow by the day. Each person in them seemed to give me a reason to jump each and everyday. Another reason I never jump was because of the same four people that stayed with me.

As I walked up to my locker I got shoved into them by someone. I didn't even turn around it was either going to be Cinder and her friends or Cardin and his. They were the only ones who used physical means. The left the insults to that bitchy heiress, Winter Schnee. At least her sister wasn't a bitch towards me. She didn't stop them but she didn't help them either. Actually now that I think about it she has stopped them a few times when their comments or beatings became bad. It would be amazing if she stopped them altogether but at least she never joined in.

"Ahhh sorry Rose. I tripped." Was the annoyingly snide voice that Ruby heard. It could only mean it was Cinder. She probably had Mercury and Emerald with her. She may have Neo but Neo always remained silent. She was a mute, or so I think. She just sat with them and drew. She only went along when they threatened to bully her as well. She was actually a nice person. The only problem was she was more worried about self preservation. I could never blame her, if her home life was anything like mine then I could understand. Doubt it was though. She seems to have more courage so if it was she would probably jump.

"Cinder! Leave her alone!" I heard yelled. It could only be Pyrrha, meaning Nora, Jaune and Ren wouldn't be to far behind. I'm happy that they at least never bought the rumours about me. It was amazing that some people now days didn't always believe what they hear. At least she had some friends in her life. "Well, Rose I'm sorry we had to cut our chat short. Nikos is being a slight bitch." Cinder mocked as she walked off. I heard a few more foot steps fade as a few more pairs walked over to where I am.

I didn't even realise I was on the ground still until Pyrrha picked me up. "Are you alright Ruby. They didn't give you that black eye did they? If they did we should report this." Pyrrha said as I brushed her hands off me. It always felt odd when some one was putting their hands on me.

"It's okay Pyrrha. I just walked into a door last night." I spoke as I quickly got the three books I would need for the first few classes. At least today shouldn't be that bad. I was in the same class as Pyrrha for the majority. "We have P.E. today don't we?" I ask as I turn around and slam my locker door. I see the group of friends. Nora looked like she was going to make good today about her constant promises to break someone's legs. I wouldn't mind it but she should break Yang's or my Dad's that way they couldn't go down into my room... that would be such a great day.

"Yeah we have it as the last two classes. I hear there is a new girl starting today." Pyrrha spoke in a gentle tone as we all began to walk towards are first class. The news of a new person who will hate me. It would bring a smile to my face if I was insane. I doubt she would be like Neo or Weiss, and I could almost guarantee that she wouldn't be like Jaune or his friends. She would most likely be just like Winter. Seem like a nice person up front but in reality she would gladly stab me in the back. They all do.

I quickly took my seat next to the window in the far back. The furthest from the door. The only good thing about this class was it had one of my favourite teachers. Qrow Branwen, he taught me and Pyrrha, math, business and physical education. He was nice guy who treated me like family. He always wanted to know how I was doing, and how I got the injuries. He was also one of a few teachers who got Cardin and Cinder and their friends suspended. It would have been better if they got expelled but I didn't have the courage to tell anyone about what they did. That left them with solely with the cameras and what my friends said.

As the Qrow walked in he quickly put down the stack of papers he was carrying on the desk at the front. He looked up from the desk and took in the people before him. "Okay I'm sure you all heard the rumours and I'm here to dispatch them. There is a new girl. I'd like you all to treat her nicely." He spoke as he walked over to the door and opened it and in walked a tallish girl. She had black hair and a bow in her hair.

"Meet Blake Belladonna... uh Ruby can you make sure she knows where everything is, she shares the same classes as you today." He spoke as he whispered something to her and pointed at the empty seat next to me. She walked quickly and took the seat. She turned towards me and offered her hand. "As he said I'm Blake and you are?" She asked in a slight melodic voice. It is going to hurt more when she decides I to make me either her verbal or physical punching bag.

Out of kindness I took the hand and shook it gently. "I'm Ruby Rose. For your own good I'd stay away from me. Everyone hates me." was all I said as Qrow began to call off the names on the register.

Author's Note:

Okay so this is a going to be a short story mainly because I know I'm going to need to start dodging things in real life for this story. My editor will also be off the grid for the week and I won't catch half the shit he does. So as you would assume please forgive the mistakes.
