Note: I plan on making this story dark. If you don't like dark themes or cursing, then welcome to my fics, there's a lot of it. Continue at your own risk, you chose to read this.

Ruby was woken up from her usual nightmares and decided to get some water. She goes downstairs and sees her father Taiyang in the kitchen downing some whiskey. He has his back turned to her so she thought she could just slip past him unnoticed. She reached for a glass and tries to be careful to avoid the noisy clang of the glasses. She accidentally drops a glass, breaking it and catching Taiyang's attention.

"Raven! Oh... you. What are you doing out of bed?!" he yelled.

"I-I just came down for some water..." Ruby answered, feeling scared.

"Then get your water and get the fuck back upstairs!" he snapped at her. "And tear down those stupid pictures of your mom, you still act like she's alive." he grumbled.

"She is still alive in our hearts... Uncle Qrow thought so too!" she protests.

"Your 'uncle' is a crazy drunk bastard. Don't listen to anything that dick has to say." he said taking another drink.

"Okay, fine..." Ruby said with tears in her eyes and runs back to her room.

Taiyang sighs and looks over to the broken glass on the floor. "Oh look, the accident made an accident. Fucking great."

Ruby runs to her room and locks it. She sinks to her knees and starts crying even harder, wishing that Yang was with her to give her comfort. Nothing was the same since her death, Taiyang being depressed, Qrow's disappearance, and now Ruby sadder than ever.

She looks over to her broken mirror. "Mirror, mirror... who's the most fucking miserable of them all?" she wants to go over to grab a shard but stops, knowing that isn't what Yang would want.

But Yang is dead, how would she know what's best for me? Would she want me to join her? No... I'd even fuck that up.

Ruby, being too caught up with her thoughts, fell asleep slumped against the door. Too busy crying to care about making it to her bed.

She woke up to pounding at her door. It was Taiyang. She got up quickly and opened it.

"About time," he said with annoyance. "You weren't cutting, were you? I swear if there's blood... ugh, nevermind. Eat whatever you want for breakfast because I'm not making you anything." he grimaced and walked away.

Ruby nodded and got dressed. She wore a red and black flannel, a white tee she had laying on the floor, black skinny jeans, and black boots. She walked down to the kitchen to make at least something for breakfast before school. She settled on a peanut butter sandwich and went on her way. She made her way to the bus stop and waited on the bench for it show up. It came a few minutes later, suprisingly, and she got on to sit all the way in the back to avoid everyone. She wasn't very social, obviously, and just wanted to be left alone but the others couldn't take a hint.

"Did you even sleep?"

"You look sick."

"Why are you even here?"

She didn't care enough to answer their useless questions, they didn't matter. She just wanted to get through the day and hang out in the library after school to get some peace and quiet.

After a long and painful ride to school, Ruby gets off the bus and steps onto the courtyard of the school.

Great, another day of teasing and learning absolutely nothing important. I really hope I don't bump into that one girl again... what was her nam-

"What the hell?!" a white-haired girl shouted from the ground.

Ruby went to help her up. "Here, ah... let me help."

She scoffs. "You? Help me? You're kidding, you look like you woke up in a dumpster." she gets up to dust herself off. "Yeah, no thanks."

"Hey I only wanted to..." she was cut off.

"It seems you only wanted to push me to the ground," she said, cutting Ruby off. "Do you even know my name?"

Ruby thought for a moment. "Yeah, it's Weiss."

Weiss rolled her eyes. "I'm so glad you took your time to figure that out."

Ruby was beginning to get annoyed with her rudeness. She was just trying to help her and she is just shutting her down every chance she can get.

"Well I'm sorry you have to have the attention on you at all times, miss perfect." Ruby shot back.

"Excuse me?" Weiss frowned. "Since when did you talk back to people? You never even say anything, just zone everyone out like the loner you are!"

"Whatever..." Ruby walked past Weiss hastily, ignoring her insults from behind.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. You saw it yourselves. Ruby Rose is fucking pathetic." Weiss rants. "A shame your slutty sister can't protect you anymore."

Did she really just go there? Are you fucking kidding me? No, she's not going to disrespect Yang like that!

Ruby stopped dead in her tracks and turned back to Weiss. "What the fuck did you just say about my sister, bitch?"

Weiss was taken aback by Ruby's response. "Your sister. The one who probably slept with the professors just to get a better grade. Funny, her name is even close to bang."

Ruby's fists tighten and Weiss grins as she enjoys pushing her around.

"Going to cry some more?" Weiss grin grows even more. "We all know you do it at home and hope your mommy comes back when she's clearly dead. Give that up."

I've had enough. I can't believe her... attacking Yang, now my mother? That is crossing the line. I can't let her do this anymore.

Ruby charged at Weiss with full on rage, until...

"Miss Rose!" someone yelled at her.

She froze and turned around to see that it was Professor Goodwitch. This was not going to end well for either of them.

She repositioned her glasses and returned her attention back to them. "Now. Miss Rose and Miss Schnee, if you'll come with me then we can sort this out and continue with our lives. Without resorting to violence." she kept her gaze fixed on Ruby as she spoke.

They both went along willingly, knowing better than to disobey her orders.
