Chapter 3
Bubbles POV
I stared at him for what felt like forever but was really only a few seconds.
"Snake, I-" He didn't let me finish.
His lips were pressing against mine softly and it took me a minute to process the fact that Snake was kissing me, not that I really minded.
He pulled away and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"You should come sssspend the night atss the shack."
"I won't kill myself, Snake." I whispered.
"Just in casssse." He hissed quietly.
"Okay." I sat up. "I'll be there later, in about half an hour."
He nodded and got up to leave.
I flew home and climbed into my room. Me and my sisters all had our own rooms now and I knew my sisters would be asleep right now. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I got dressed in dark blue yoga pants and an old t-shirt, I also slipped on a pair of socks and low cut Converse.
I grabbed a blur tote bag and stuffed an extra set of clothes, my cell phone, iPod, my toothbrush, and toothpaste. I quietly checked out my door into the hall to make sure no one was up and I closed and locked my bedroom door. After slinging my school at over my shoulder, I climbed out my window and headed straight for the dump.
Snake was at the entrance, waiting for me.
"Readysss?" He asked.
I nodded and followed him.
I admit I felt nervous walking up to the shack in the dump with Snake. Over the years, their place had changed, the place was a little bigger due to a few renovations.
"Snake, I really don't think I should be here." I stopped.
He stopped a few steps in front of where I did and turned towards me.
"It'll be fine." He reassured me.
I nodded and followed him, but still felt a little nervous.
Snake opened the door and walked inside, me close to his side. Surprisingly, the others didn't notice us come in, Billy and Arturo were busy playing cards, Ace had a set of headphones on, and Grubber was nowhere in sight.
"Heyssss, I'm back." Snake hissed as we entered.
"What?" Ace pulled one headphone away and looked over at us.
Catching sight of me, he threw off his headphones and stood up. "Ay! What's she doin' here?" He asked in his New York accent.
"Chill outsss Ace. She'ssss cool." Snake said.
"She's a Powerpuff, Snake." He argued.
"She'sss with me. She'ssss cool." Snake slid his arm around me.
Ace rolled his eyes. "Fine, but she's staying with you."
I followed Snake to what I guessed was his room. It was a small room with a bed, closet, and an old drumset. I noticed a helmet in the corner next to a box of tools.
"I'vesss been fixing up an oldsss motorcycle." He explained.
"Is it finished?" I asked, setting my bag down.
"Yeahsss, it'sssss out back. But I haven't drivensss it yetss." He shrugged. "The bathroomsss across the hallsss, you can get ready."
I nodded and picked up my bag. I brushed my hair which had become tangled while I was flying here and I brushed my teeth.
I made my way back to Snake's room. I didn't find Snake in there when I walked in and so I took out my cell and set an alarm to wake me up for school. Something landed next to me on the bed and I turned to see Snake near the door, I spotted a small black hoodie next to me. I looked up and gave him a confused look.
"It getssss cold in heresss at night." He explained.
I took the sweater in my hands.
"It wassss miness, but it doesn't fit me anymoresss. Yous can keepsss it." He sat on the bed next to me as I put it on.
It almost fit perfectly but it didn't hug my body.
"Ssssee? It fitssss fine." He muttered as he pulled on the shoulders to get the sweater over my shoulders better.
"Thanks." I looked at him.
I had just then noticed that he had changed too. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a grey sweatshirt.
Snake nodded and climbed to the side of the bed that was against the wall and he leaned on the pile of pillows.
"Are you sure it's okay that I'm here?" I asked, placing my phone under a pillow.
"You don't needssss to worry. I worked it out while you were in the bathroomss." He explained.
I sighed as I leaned against his chest and he pulled the covers over.
"I'll try not to wake ya up in the morning." I said.
"You're going to ssschool?" He asked.
"I was planning to. But I don't mind ditching." I looked up at him.
"No. You're goingsss to ssschool." He stated.
"Aww. You trying to get rid of me?" I mock-pouted.
"It'ssss not that. I jusssst think it'ssss important for you to go to ssschool." He hissed.
"Yeah, well, it's not like I'm exactly needed at school." I rolled my eyes.
"Tell ya what, you goesss to school tomorrow and youss can come backss here to hang out." He looked down at me.
"Deal." I smiled.
He pulled pieces of my blond hair away from my face as he watched me. I looked up at him as he watched me.
"You saved my life today." I said.
"Glad I didssss." He replied.
"Well I'm glad that someone's around who cares about me." I said.
"There are lotsss of peopless who would care." He said.
"Yeah." I nodded, not really believing it myself.
