New Story? New Story! At least hopefully. I wonder where this one is going to go. If we look back at my last two stories, then there may be a potential for nothing to be safe. Or it could all just be fluff. Who knows? Anyway, enjoy!


Rain tapped at the windshield and I watched as the windshield wiper attempted to rid the glass of the hazard. It was an old car so it was having trouble picking up the water, but it had no trouble making a loud squelch almost every time it moved. Unfortunately, it couldn't distract me from my so called "boyfriend" who was getting on my last nerve.

"What do you want me to do, Weiss?" He asked, taking his eyes off the road.
I groaned. "I want you to stay concentrated on the road, first off. Second, I don't want you to 'do' anything besides be a respectful boyfriend."
He replied, this time with his eyes watching the road. "Am I not respectful? I don't think I've done much of anything wrong."
"Exactly. You don't think you've done anything wrong." I pointed out.
He gave me a look out of the corner of his eye. "What does that mean?"
"We've only been together two months and your already trying to get 'handsy' with me." It was blunt but true.
He turned and looked at me. "Excuse me if I thought being your boyfriend made me think that I could do that kind of thing. Besides I thought you were fine with me since you were the one who contacted me first about going out."
"Watch the road!" The streets were empty in vale around this time of night but I like to keep things safe. "I initiated it because my parents told me to, for your information."
"Oh right. How could I forget about 'Mommy and Daddy?'" I could see him rolling his eyes. "Always got to be the perfect princess for them, don't you?"
I looked out at the empty sidewalks of the city. "Sorry if you were expecting some rich girl with daddy issues. I like being a normal girl who doesn't act like a prostitute."
He laughed. "I can see that, what with that silly snowflake pendant you always wear."
I felt myself get angry. "Stop the car and let me out!" I started pulling the door handle.
He suddenly stopped the car when he saw the door open slightly. "What are you doing? Are trying to hurt yourself?"
I stepped out of the car. "I'm not going to sit there and let you insult me!"
"That's fine by me. Have fun then!" He replied.

I slammed the door closed and he started to drive off. When he did, it felt like an invisible force grabbed and spun me in a circle. I heard a rip and watched his car speed off with part of the white dress I was wearing for our date. The wind must have had blown a bit of it into the door when I slammed it closed. Mother wasn't going to be very happy about that. She took time out her day just so she could help me find something to wear tonight and now it's ruined. It's not like time was something my parents could normally spare, what with their busy lives running a company.

It used to be my grandmother who would help me with these kinds of things, but now she couldn't anymore. Now I can't talk with anyone about what just happened. I felt myself tapping my necklace like she always used to do when thinking about things. Every time I asked what it was she was thinking about she would just say, "I'm still not sure yet." It always confused me as a kid but I think I understand it better now.

*HOOOONNNK!*

I nearly had a heart attack at the sound. I turned around and a car was sitting there like it was waiting for me. A window rolled down on the passenger side and a girl's voice called me over. I walked over to the window and bent slightly to see inside. It was a teenage girl with black hair and striking, yellow eyes that seemed to be closely examining me.

"Are you okay?" She asked. "You're completely soaked."
I forced myself to look away from here eyes. "Umm, no. My boyfriend and I got into a fight in his car."
Her eyes widened a bit. "And he just left you out here like that?"
"Well, I uh.. asked to get out." I was embarrassed by my idiotic explanation.
She looked down at my dress. "Did he do that? Did he hurt you or anything?"
I looked away. "No, it just got ripped when it got caught in his car door and drove off."

God, I probably looked like a lost dog. Covered in water with a ripped dress and I'm sure my makeup isn't doing me any favors in this rain. This was not how my night was supposed to go. Just a simple dinner and head home. But no, he just had to try and make a move on me. I really shouldn't have tried to go out with someone who my parents recommended. He was nice at first but he got more insufferable after every time we met.

The girl sighed and reached into the back of her car. I was about to ask what she was doing when she pulled a towel out and placed it over her passenger seat.

"Get in. The door is unlocked." She said with a smile.
I was a little bit confused. "Uhh.." Perfect Weiss, great response.
"Look, I'm not going to leave someone out in the dark and rain like this. Especially in this city. Get in and be grateful." I saw her get ready to drive.
With a hesitant hand, I opened the door and sat on the towel. "Thanks for this. I've been having bad night."
"I can tell." She said with a quick laugh. "Also, put your seat belt on."

I clicked my seat belt and she started the car on its way down the street. I gave her my address and sat back against the window, expecting a quiet ride home with this stranger. For all I knew, I could have signed my own death warrant stepping into this car but I didn't care. I just wanted this night to end with my face hitting a soft pillow and my covers over my head.

The girl decided to break the silence though. "Soo... what started this little fight between lovers?"
I felt my face burn and I gave her a small glare. "We are not lovers!" I snapped.
"Sorry, I guess I struck a nerve." I heard her suppress a small laugh.
I shook my head. "It's fine. The argument started after dinner when he tried to get handsy with me in the car."
"You don't like that kind of thing?" She asked.
"Well, it's not that I don't like it. I don't know how to explain it but he just doesn't work with me. Just like every guy I've tried to date." I thought back to past relationships.
She still didn't take her eyes off the road. "Interesting to hear." I saw her eyes go wide for a small second. "Oh, I forgot. My name is Blake Belladonna. You?"
She was kind enough to give me a ride so my name was the least I could give her. "I'm Weiss Schnee."
That was enough for her to give me a look. "Like that big company? Schnee Industries or something?"
"Guilty as charged." I said curtly.
She shrugged. "Even more interesting I guess." She reached over and turned up the radio. "I say take a small nap and I'll wake you when we get there."

The radio music didn't give me a chance to respond so I just nodded and leaned against the window. I watched the street lamps go by and let them slowly hypnotize me until I was asleep.


I awoke to the sound of Blake in a long whistle. "Well at least you weren't lying to me."

I sat up and saw my house in front of the car. It was pretty big, I had to admit. It looked like how most would think a mansion would look like, but just make most of it angular and flat with large windows in the back. To me, it was a normal, boring sight that I saw everyday. It was rarely exciting here for anyone. Dad would always be out somewhere doing business and almost never come home and Mom would just follow behind him. They were home yesterday but now they were already back out into the world doing something to advance their company. It just left me to lounge about, doing nothing for myself.

I got ready to open the door when a question popped into my head. "What were you doing out so late yourself?"
She chuckled and threw a thumb to the book in the back of her car. "I fell asleep at a cafe while reading. It was close to where I found you."
I looked at the cover. It looked like a normal romance novel but the title had the word "Ninjas" in it so I was confused. "I haven't heard that excuse before." I pushed the door open. "Well, thank you for helping me and for the ride home."
She smiled and waved. "It was no big deal. I don't get to meet many people but you were the most interesting person I've met by far."
I enjoyed the compliment, unlike the empty ones from a certain someone at dinner. "Thank you. You were pretty interesting to."
A slightly flustered look showed up on her face. "Oh, thanks." She stiffened up a little. "You should probably get inside and clean up. You're still soaked."

I closed the door and watched her back out of the drive-way. She was a pretty nice person. You don't see many like her nowadays, it seemed. But I didn't feel like thinking about it for long. I was freezing without the car to warm me up and I needed a hot bath to relax with.

After it was all said and done, I was back in my room and ready to sleep. People would probably question if I was about to go to sleep though, what with my television lighting the room up with whatever was on. I needed noise to fall asleep or else the eerie silence would keep me awake far into the night. My head hit the pillow and was immediately forced to sit back up when my phone went off. My father was calling me rather late and I was annoyed by how sudden it was. He normally only called at certain points in the day.

I answered. "Hello?"
His voice came through the speaker as gruff as ever. "Hello Weiss."
"Why are you calling so late, Dad?" I asked as respectfully as I could.
He was straight to the point. "I was told that a car that we've never seen before came by the house. Are you alright?"
I nearly laughed. "Yes, Dad, I'm fine. It was someone dropping me off after my date went bad with Cardin."
"He didn't bring you home himself?" Anger showing up in his voice.
"We argued and I got out of the car. Thankfully, a nice girl pulled up and offered me a ride home." My explanation was simple.
Dad didn't like that though. "You need to be more careful, Weiss. Not everyone is there to help. Now, are you going to try and talk with Cardin tomorrow?"
It was my turn to be annoyed. "No, Dad, I'm not. He is insufferable and pushy. I'm glad I got out of that car."
"That's fine then. You're mother will be disappointed but she will understand. Now get some sleep." I heard the phone click.

I was not opposed to some sleep right about now. Especially after being interrupted from it just to be reminded of why I'm trying to get to sleep. At least Blake understands how good some sleep can be. Maybe I should check out that cafe she told me about. It must be a pretty relaxing place if she could fall asleep there while reading. No time to think about that though. In fact, there isn't enough time for me to be awake.


Well, opinions? Good? Bad? Throw out the chalk board and buy a new one? I liked it, but then again, I also wrote it. Oh well. As always, reviews are welcome. And remember, HAVE FUN!
