Princess sat on the edge of the couch, she was rubbing her arm as she stared at the telephone.
Closing he eyes she still felt her presence still in the room, and right now it was horrid.
"Princess" she spoke as she moved along the couch, she sound as if she wanted to collapse but some how she manage to stay standing.
"Leave me alone" Princess said as she turned her head away, "I don't want to even speak to you after that."
"Princess... It was a... Little beer" she said as she sat on the couch.
"That's your excuse!" Princess shouted as she shot out of her seat and faced her, "it's always some kind of booze, I put up with a lot of emotional outburst and you claim it's drinking!"
She looked at Princess for a moment.
"I listen to you scream about your day, break stuff, punch holes in walls and in the end you are passed out on the couch" Princess sighed, "I come out of my room and I keep hearing excuses. Every time there was a bottle in your hand."
"I could say I'm sorry, but it would cut it" she said, her head in her hands.
"It wouldn't!" Princess said, "one of these days that temper is going to hurt you."
Princess sat down next to her, she touch her wrist and notice something.
She looked up at the young red head, she knew that Princess saw the scar on her wrist.
"Buttercup!"
They both sat there in the apartment silently.
Time passed and Buttercup started to cry silently.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Buttercup sobbed as she lean her head against Princess' shoulder, Princess cuddled the crying Puff.
"I don't want to hurt you" Buttercup choked out, "I break things so I won't hurt you, but I might... Princess, I'm sorry."
They sat on the couch, Princess lean back and allowed Buttercup to cry into her shoulder.
"It's alright, it's alright. Just tell me what's wrong, Black Rose"
Buttercup slowly stopped crying, hearing her pet name has a strange comforting power over her.
"You can tell me anything Buttercup, we're roommates" Princess stroked Buttercup's hair.
"What if...?"
"What if what, Black Rose?" Princess lifted Buttercup's chin a bit.
"If.... We were more then just roommates?" Buttercup looked away from Princess' eyes.
Princess was a bit stunned, they've been sharing an apartment for nearly two years now.
Princess mind was spinning, but she knew this wasn't the root of her problems.
"Buttercup?"
"I'm sorry I said anything, please just forget it" Buttercup sat up, "I'll just-" Buttercup stopped when she felt someone that wouldn't let go of her.
"Come here Black Rose" Princess said as nicely as she can, "please talk to me."
"I want to be alone" Buttercup tried to pull away.
"Why?" Princess felt a bit of anger rise up, "so you can cut yourself?"
Buttercup stopped, she looked at Princess.
With a good yank she pulled away from Princess, she felt tears fill her green eyes as she stared at Princess.
"Please, I don't want to hurt you like...." Buttercup closed her eyes, she whip around and rush for the door.
"BUTTERCUP!" Princess shouted as she watched the front door close.
