Buttercup sigh as she roll over in bed, of course she didn't say anything because all those things will be expose, all those moments of her being violated. Everyone from school heard about her being in the hospital because she was rape, all of Buttercup's close friends visit her and just either said nothing or cried along with her. But they didn't now who and Buttercup glad that Blossom didn't told, she made her own vow of silence, Blossom was released yesterday because she was in good health but Buttercup was still suffering. She refuse to eat and do nothing but lay in bed.

Two months later, Buttercup was released from the hospital and she went into counseling still keeping her vow of silence. It was Christmas eve, she was decorating the house with her friends while her father was out working.
"Buttercup, want to make some cookies?" her friend, Ashley asked.
"You can eat the dough," Demetria laughed as she walk over to the kitchen getting all the groceries she bought earlier and began to set all the ingredients for sugar cookies out on the kitchen table. "Come on, Buttercup! Or I eat all the sugary dough!"
"Okay," Buttercup laughed lightly as she stop decorating the tree.
Last Christmas by Wham! Began to play over the radio.
"Hey!" Demetria snap her fingers and did a little dance. "Megan, turn that up! That's my song!"
Buttercup froze when she heard the lyrics to the song, she then flash back to the time when she and Mitch broke up, it was last year Christmas eve. They were at his house and he tried to pull a fast one but she slap him, she threaten him and broke up with him. But she was afraid so much during the break when he call the house with deadly threats, Buttercup exchange to the private school.

"Oh, no! Megan cut that off!!" Demetria ran over to her by keeping her distance she began to sing.
It's going to get better…..
"Come one, guys." Demetria encourage them
They began to sing Kirk Franklin's 'Better' till Buttercup stop crying and she sang a few parts with them.
"Let's watch some tv," Megan suggested as she walk in the living room.
"You guys go on ahead," Demetria call from the kitchen putting an apron on. "I'll make the cookies."
"Hey," Ashley click on the tv remote. "I hope Rudolph the reindeer is on!"
But what they saw wasn't a Christmas special but a special news report.
"We are here today in front of this private school for girls with sad news." said the female reporter.
"Hey! That's our school!!" Megan shrieked.
"Demi!!!?" Ashley called out.
Demetria ran in the living room and gasp with everyone when they saw their school then a picture of Mr. Copular.
"Ace D. Couplar, a English teacher has just past away today." the reporter spoke sadly as the winds whip around her.
Buttercup eyes bulge as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Appears to be suicide as a janitor found him in his classroom with both his wrist slit," the reporter continued keep pressing her hand to her ear. "And there was a note found next to his body, it reads:
I'm sorry that I did this to myself but if I have to continue to live another day in shame I don't know if I could face her again, my most beloved student. I'm sorry for my past crimes and I pray for you every waking day of my life, I hope that one day that you will forgive me and that you accept my apology. I also wanted to say that I'm sorry that I left my four younger sisters, I really didn't want to do this to myself but if I have to live another day for what I had done to this student of mine's, then I see no other way of living with myself."
"Turn it off," Buttercup look away from the screen. :Turn that shit off now!!!"
"Okay!" Ashley turned it off.
"Buttercup?" Demetria look sadly at her. "Do you want to come to church with me, tonight?"
"No," Buttercup spoke as she put her face into her hands

"Are we going to visit her tomorrow?" Blossom whispered to her older brother.
"…Sure." he responded as he began to pray silently.
God please keep her safe….
A small blonde baby tug at Butch's jacket.
"Butchie, Butchie." she cooed.
Butch kiss the little girl on top of her head.
"Your so cute, Bubbles."

That Christmas morning, Buttercup woke up to the smell of pancakes and light conversations. She put on her robe and walk down the stairs to see a little, chubby, baby blonde girl with bright blue eyes crawling around and Buttercup's father calling out to her.
"Come her little Bubbles." he laughed with his white robe on.
The baby cooed and giggled as she crawl a bit faster.
"Dad?" Buttercup call out softly as she descended the stairs.
"Merry Christmas," said Butch as he walk over to her with two mugs of hot chocolate in it. He push the light green mug to her, Buttercup took it.
"Morning," she answered as she took a light sip. "What are you doing here?"
"We don't want to celebrate the holidays alone." Butch smiled.
"Breakfast is ready!!" Blossom call out from the kitchen and a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes smiled.
"It's her boyfriend," Butch told her. "They been dating for a while, he's shy so I won't be expecting anything suspicious so don't worry about her."
"I'm not." Buttercup answered as she sip her hot chocolate.
"Are you worrying about me, then?" Butch smiled.
"Hell, no!"
Butch laughed and Buttercup couldn't help but to feel a little butterfly flying around her stomach.

Buttercup watch her father open Bubbles gifts, she laughed when Bubbles put her bow on top of his head. She glance to see Blossom kissing Boomer on the cheek, Buttercup blush as she went and finish open her gift from….who again? She open the gift and it was a small black bible, she open the bible and there was some written in it: May this bible be some of help to you. Just to let you know I'm always thinking about you, God bless.

'I hope she likes the gift'

It was New Years eve almost an hour to the countdown. Buttercup was over Megan's house where she's throwing a party, all her friends and people that she never seen before was there. Buttercup was sitting on the couch alone reading the bible, she had help from Demetria and Megan because they attend church and read the bible almost everyday, she even heard them quote some words from the bible.
"How your reading going?" Megan asked as she gave Buttercup a cup with pop in it. Megan sat down next to her as she read over her shoulder,
"Fine." Buttercup close the book. "Where's Demi?"
"She at church," Megan shrug her shoulders. "She'll be here. She just have to say a few words and pray for the pastor."
"What happen to the pastor?"
"Some punk jump him one night when he was closing the church, remember?"
"No?" Buttercup shook her head.
"We had to stay there because you want the pastor to say a prayer for you, remember?"
"Oh, yeah." Buttercup remember as she hit herself on the head. "I hope the pastor is going to be okay."
"Don't worry, he'll be."
Megan left Buttercup on the couch as Buttercup return to her reading. Then someone stand in front of her causing Buttercup to tense up. She only glance up and said,
"Hi."
The person didn't respond but stood there for a moment making it difficult for Buttercup to read.
"There's a problem upstairs." the person spoke, his voice low.
"Oh, okay." Buttercup close the book and got up. "Do you know what happen?"
"Some guy and girl are fucking in the parents bedroom."
Buttercup sigh as went up the stairs the guy following her, Buttercup pass a few people who was getting ready for the countdown.
"Buttercup, where your going? Ten minutes to 2010!" Ashley said as she walk down the stairs.
"I'll be back." Buttercup answered.
Buttercup walk up to the parents bedroom, she press her ear against the door, she didn't hear anything
"Are you sure someone's in there?" Buttercup asked the guy who was in hiding his face in his hooded red sweatshirt.
The guy nodded as Buttercup tried knocking since someone turned the music up and Kesha's 'TikTok' was playing at full blast. Buttercup just gave up and opened it seeing that no one was inside.
"What the-?"
Buttercup was push inside as she landed on the empty well made bed. She turned around and saw the guy close the door and smiled at a terrified Buttercup.
"Hey, baby." the boy smiled as he pull his hood down to reveal Mitch smiling face. "Did you miss me?"
***
"It was funny running into you," Demetria smiled at Butch as the both of them walk in as everyone shouted,
"Happy New Year!!"
"Noooo!!!!!!Aaaaaaah!!!!!!!" someone screamed.
"Hey! Did anybody hear that?" Demetria shouted.
"Turn the music down!' Butch ran over as he turn the stereo down, everyone quit down as the heard a loud thump noise.
"No!!!!! Go away!!!" screamed Buttercup.
Butch ran up the stairs two at a time.
"Call the police, Megan!" Demetria told her as she ran upstairs too with a baseball bat in hand that she took from the hallway closet.
***
Buttercup was punch in the face again as she landed on the mattress, Mitch got on top of her and began slapping her but Buttercup tired to fight back by clawing at his face. She scratch him real good,
"Shit! Fuck!" Mitch screamed as he grab his bloody face. "You little bitch!!"
The door then slam open with Butch rushing as Mitch, he pull him by the collar and slam him on the floor, Demetria came in with a bat in hand as Butch began to beat the shit out of him!
"Don't you ever put your fucking hands on her again!!" Butch said with every punch.
"Cuppy, are you okay?" Demetria run over to Buttercup as she lightly touch her shoulder.
Buttercup stare at Butch who was punching Mitch with all he got then when he finished he kicked him and spat on him, he look at Buttercup and hesitated walking near her so Buttercup got up and walk over to him. She just stood there then she tugged at his shirt, pulling him closer to her and she started to cry. Butch hold her close to him as he let Buttercup get his shirt wet.
***
"Yes, officer." Buttercup answered as she pull Butch's jacket over her cold body. Butch was standing by her, keeping his distance. Buttercup respected that but she wish Butch could be a little closer to her, she didn't mind. "He sexually assaulted me before, and yes I want to press full charges."
The police officer nodded his head as he ask Buttercup more questions then he tip his hat and went back to the patrol car where Mitch was sitting in the back handcuffed and beaten badly. The police drove away as people retire for the night saying goodbye to Buttercup and Butch, Megan came outside and invite the two back in for some hot chocolate.
"You feeling all right?" Butch asked as they sat on the couch.
"Not really." Buttercup touch her face, it was red and sore. "I still feel all those,"
"You don't have to explain it to me." Butch stop her.
"Yeah, so stop making her Butch." Ashley slap Butch upside the head as she sat down next to him.
"What we all should do right now," Megan sat down on the other chair next to Buttercup.
"Since I'm all work up from before," Demetria fanned herself. "Is pray. Now everyone, let's hold hands and bow our heads."
So that's what everyone did, Buttercup can't believe she was holding Butch's hand. Butch squeeze Buttercup's hand a little and she squeeze it back. As Demetria lead the prayer.
