Reviews muchly appreciated :) also tips, I'm a first time writer!
I groaned and opened my eyes, unsure of where I was.
My bedroom?
How did I get here?
I looked around. Everything seemed the same. I glanced towards the clock on my bed, which read 8.45am in the morning. Saturday morning. I groaned, feeling my body ache as I sat up in my bed.
My legs were aching, my stomach was aching, my chest was aching, my head was throbbing, and…very strangely but most painfully, in between my legs were sore.
I got out of bed, groaning in pain as I did. I must have had WAY too much to drink last night and gotten into a fight with some villain. He (or she) must have thrown me into a building or something, or maybe I crashed when I flew home drunk…I don't remember, but how else could I feel so sore?
But that's the only reason I can come up with…
I walked to my en suite and ran a shower, quickly slipping out of my clothes. They still smelt like cigarette smoke and beer from last night. I groaned again, slipping under the hot water and letting it calm my body. I had no idea why I was so sore or why my body hurt so much.
I heard a knock at the door and Blossom stumbled in. She looked defeated, tired and confused, but mustered enough energy to glare at me while I showered.
"You!" She snarled, stumbling to the bench and leaning against it, splashing cold water on her face. She glared at me through the mirror, her pink eyes narrowed and her hair all over the place.
"I don't even remember last night…" She groaned. "Why'd you leave me there?"
I stepped out, wrapping a towel around my body and wincing. "What are you talking about, I never left you!"
"Yeah you did" She said, frowning. "I remember asking around and everyone said you went home. That random guy I was with drove me home…I remember that much."
I shook my head, walking to the bathroom bench and standing beside her, running a few fingers through my hair and sweeping it into a low bun at one side of my head.
I still felt so sore…how did I get this sore? Must have been one hell of a building…
"BUTTERCUP!"
I jumped, dropping the moisturizer in my hands. Blossom's eyes were wide, looking at my back with absolute shock. I frowned. "Wha-"
"What's on your back!?" She asked, whirling me around and pointing to my right shoulderblade, where there was already a deep scar forming.
My face paled and my throat constricted. Somebody…some psycho, had scrawled, with some knife…or laser…or something that was sharp or harmful enough to penetrate Powerpuff skin… 'BMJ'.
'BMJ'??
"WHAT THE HELL!" I found myself screaming, before Blossom slapped a hand over my mouth.
"You'll wake the Professor!" She squeaked, but she was looking at it with terror written all over herface. "What did you do last night? Join a Cult?"
"I don't know!" I squealed back, trying to bite back the fear that seemed to escape win my throat. Who would do that? What was I, cattle?
"Buttercup" Blossom's face was now serious, almost scared. "Do…you remember what happened last night?"
I frowned, looking in the mirror.
"I…I remember you…" I glanced at her and she nodded. "And…And Bubbles, I remember being…not very drunk…" I shook my head, but right now my vocabulary wasn't my main priority. "And then…Jayden-"
"Jayden?"
"Yeah" I suddenly snarled. "That prick…He…He tried to get fresh with me! And I pushed him off and then I went out to the hallway, I had a drink and…and then I saw this other guy-"
I shook my head, realizing what a complete idiot I probably sounded like.
"Your drink…" Blossom now looked concerned. "Did you put it down?"
I bit my lip, now looking up at my sister in fear. Crap. Crap. I broke the number one law of partying.
"Um…maybe?"
She grabbed my arm, dragging me out of that bathroom.
Meanwhile…at the other side of Townsville…
"YOU STUPID MONKEY!" Brick shouted at Mojo Jojo, who cowered. "YOU GAVE US THAT STUPID EXPERIMENTAL JUNK, DIDN'T YOU?"
I groaned, biting my lip and shoving my hands in my pockets. I didn't want to look- I was already aware of the dried blood under my nails and through the cracks in my palms.
"I don't remember anything…" Boomer was saying to me, frowning. "I mean…do you?"
"No" I groaned, now feeling completely lost. We were supposed to be on the down low now, if we caused anything-
"We better not have done anything we regret, Monkey." Brick snarled at our guardian, who wasn't revealing anything. "Or else, we will have your head."
"Oh come on!" Mojo snarled at us. "It was just one little concoction, just a test! It was to see if you boys were still evil, and-"
"And you didn't tell us!" Boomer growled angrily. "You spiked our drinks with the stuff! You could have poisoned us!"
"It was just supposed to bring out your…evil side…" Mojo told us calmly. "Just relax…there are no side effects… I tested it…once or twice-"
"We don't remember anything from last night!" Brick put in, very angry. "That's a freaking side effect!"
"There are some kinks I haven't managed to-"
"We don't want to be evil anymore!" Boomer shouted at him, slamming his fists on the table. "We told you that!"
Yeah, we told him that…but he wouldn't listen. No longer do we wanna take over the world, destroy the city..we wanted to set our sights on petty crime and actually laying low and getting something of a future, career…but no, NO, if Mojo isn't happy, he'll invent a potion to make us practically evil up and forget the evening before!
I hadn't told the guys about the blood on my hands, and I didn't want to. I didn't want to cause anymore drama than what's already been done…but-
I gulped. If I've hurt someone bad, It's not an easy thing to forget.
"Flunitrazepam" Blossom muttered to herself, looking deep into my eyes. We were locked in her room and she had taken a long look at me, muttering to herself while casting me fearful glances.
I frowned. "Fluna-who?"
She sighed, looking worried. "It's a date rape drug, from what it looks. Designed to heavily relax you, and mixed with alcohol-" She cast me a look- "It's not good. You're completely relaxed after passing out, and your memory is hazy of the event." She growled to herself. "And it can be odourless and tasteless when added to a drink."
I shook my head. "No, nobody would-"
I paused. Jayden. Jayden would.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"No Buttercup!" Blossom quickly grabbed my arm as I went to fly away. "Let's be rational here! You can't go around accusing innocent people of doing something like-"
"Jayden? Innocent? HA! He's already tried to get fresh with me before, and he's going to get it, if he even so much as TOUCHED me-"
Blossom stood in front of me, hands on her hips. "Buttercup. Stop." She grabbed me by the shoulders. "You said you pushed him away, maybe he didn't have the guts-"
"You don't know him…" I growled. "He's tried before, and he tried again last night and I-" I paused, thinking back. "And I hit him-"
"Exactly" Blossom said. "Only a complete moron would try after going against you."
I shook my head. "I left my drink there, he could have easily slipped something in."
"Well…" Blossom bit her lip. "If you go after him we can be under for assault, and then the Professor will know where we were last night-"
I bit my lip too. "But what can I do?"
She sighed, looking sad. "Well, we can press charges, I guess. If it's rape we can keep it private but…" She folded her arms, giving me another worried look. "If it was Jayden, why the BMJ?"
I put a hand on my shoulder self consciously before walking over to my closet and throwing on a t-shirt.
"BC?"
"I don't know, Okay!" I finally broke, hugging myself. I felt violated, confused and sad. Here was Blossom talking about rape. It's just not an everyday situation, didn't she understand that? I could have been violated, my innocence taken away. By that…
By that…
I cursed loudly, calling him every name I could.
"I have to find out!" I decided, throwing on a jacket. "I have to find that jerk, and rip his-"
"Buttercup you don't know!" Blossom insisted, following me. "He could be innocent!"
"Innocent?" I scoffed. "Jayden's about as innocent as Hitler was. That jerk did this to me, now he's gonna pay."
Together we flew to Cass' house, where I was positive most of my group had crashed, like we planned to do. Cass answered the door, looking tired moody and hungover.
"Buttercup?" She groaned, rubbing her eyes. "What-"
"Is Jayden here?" I interjected, pushing past her. "I need to find him and kick his ass."
"Wait what?"
Blossom came up behind me. "No, we don't. We need to talk to him, BC. We do not kick asses."
Cass frowned. "Blossom? What are you doing here? Where's your cutie?"
Blossom frowned back, shaking her head. "Uh..what-"
"And Buttercup, what happened to the guy you left with?" She was suddenly smirking. "You guys looked pretty cosy."
I narrowed my eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"The guy you were with." She insisted. "Black hair, black hoodie-"
I nudged Blossom, giving her a knowing look. I knew it. Jayden.
"I didn't get his name" She shrugged. "You guys were…busy."
"Well if you'll both excuse me" I snarled, interrupting. "I have to go kill Jayden now."
"Kill me?"
I looked over at the figure in the doorway. His long black hair was touselled and there were dark black circles under his eyes. He was only clad in jeans and was yawning. He looked like some druggo vampire freak. I charged at him, but Blossom held me back.
"What the-"
"You JERK!" I snarled at him, unable to find a more suitable word. "You tried something with me!"
"What?" Cass asked, coming between us. "What are you talking about?"
Blossom tugged me back and gave me a glare. "Buttercup here, has a very good reason to believe someone spiked her drink last night."
"Spiked?" Cass asked, glaring at Jayden. "How?"
"Ask him."
"What?" Jayden snarled at me. "What are you instinuating, you tightass-"
"I'm instinuating the fact that you spiked my drink last night, Jayden." I snarled at him. It was so hard not to leap at him, not to rip his throat out. To think I once considered him a friend.
"Don't jump to conclusions, BC." Cass told me, but she looked concerned. "I mean, anyone at the party could have done it, and you may not have even been-"
"I checked" Blossom countered.
"And he was the only one who tried to get fresh with me!" I wailed, now furious. Why was I not kicking his butt? Why was I not castrating him?
Jayden looked fearful, but at the same time angry.
"I didn't do anything!" He insisted, folding his arms in defence.
"But you tried!"
"Yeah but I didn't succeed, did I?" He glared at me, furious. "You have some stupid double standards! You wouldn't give it up for me but then I saw you leave with some jerk, you were all over him!"
"I was not-" I gaped at him. "Who? And wha- THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"
I suddenly punched him. It happened so quickly I barely noticed it, but I did see him on the ground bleeding, which put a smile on my face.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Jayden exclaimed, blood pouring out of his nose. He gave me such an evil look for a second I flinched. "YOU ARE SUCH A STUPID BI-"
"What's this?" Blossom asked suddenly, walking over and picking up a small pack of pills that had skidded across the floor, probably from Jayden's jeans pocket. She held it up. "Rohypnol?"
"Ruffa what?" Cass asked, frowning.
"Date rape drug." Blossom said triumphantly, giving Jayden a glare. "Buttercup, permission to kill."
"No!" Jayden suddenly jumped up, giving me a cautious look. Blood was pouring out of his nose. "He-hear me out a second."
"Make it fast"
He rolled his eyes. "I admit, I did try. I spiked your coke. So what?" He snarled at me. "But you knocked me out, and the next time I saw you some guy was all over you. So I…backed off." He looked murderous. "That guy didn't believe me when I said I was your friend."
Cass gaped. "You-"
"Who was it?"
Everyone looked at me. Jayden sniffed, wiping the blood off his face with the back of his palm. "What?"
"You all said I left with a guy" I said slowly, frowning. "Who was it?"
Jayden rolled his eyes again, Blossom shrugged and Cass gave me a confused look.
"We thought you knew."
I shook my head and swallowed. I felt completely empty. How can I forget a whole night? And if I was drugged...
"Who was I with?" Blossom asked suddenly, turning to Cass. "Did…did you know?"
Cass shook her head. "Sorry, girl."
Blossom looked disappointed. I self consciously put a hand to my back.
Who the hell did know?
