Chapter 6 Never be Forgotten
A/N Yo! Here is the slightly short part 2 of our previous chapter. Warning: the flashback might be triggering. ENJOY
"She is trying! But it's not like you ever gave her a chance!"
"She's not worth giving a chance!"
"Why? Why do you have to believe that about her?!" This made Yang stop for a second. The first thing that came to mind to say was; 'because she's a Schnee', and even Yang, as infuriated as she was, knew that was ridiculous. And something she has preached against all her life; judging someone by their family. Now she could finally see a sliver of that in herself. Ruby took Yang's silence to continue. "Why don't you trust me? Why do you think I would date her; if I felt she would never get better. If Weiss hadn't shown me several times that she wanted to change her viewpoints, I would have dumped her that night... no one treats my nephew that way on purpose, or without guilt. But she was guilty, she was so mad at herself for not being able to get her childhood teachings out of her head, the entire night. You don't have to like her Yang, you don't have to trust her; but trust me... please." A tear slipped onto Ruby's cheek, where it made a slow trail down her face.
Yang was frozen with shock, but a hot tear of her own made it's way to her chin, and her eyes focused in on Ruby's pleading ones. Yang stepped around the table; and pulled Ruby into a hug.
"I do trust you, I do... it's just..."
*Flashback*
Junior grabbed his keys and was trying to make his way out the door, but Yang grabbed his arm.
"Stop please! We already barely have enough money for food, don't go and spend that little bit too!" Junior ripped Yang's hand off of his arm, then grabbed her by the collar and threw her against the counter a few feet away. Her sore body screamed in protest as more pain and bruises were layered onto her.
"You don't tell me what to do, you stupid little bitch! I bring the money in, I can do with it what I want!" He took a few steps forward, raising his fist to come down on Yang's head. But the pain fueled her Semblance, turning her eyes red, and allowing her to grab the hand before it hit her. But she still wasn't strong enough, and her aura was fading fast with the effort to keep her Semblance going, so when Junior sent his other fist flying at her; she could do nothing to stop it. The force of the hit broke her aura completely, and sent her slamming into a wall. With zero protection; it hurt like hell, and made Yang's head swim.
"You aren't worth the rotten bread I feed you blondy. No one will ever love you, the sooner you learn that, the sooner you can hit the clubs and use those tits of yours to earn a few bucks... maybe even earn the roof I put over your head." Junior strode over to where Yang was, and stomped hard on her leg, she screamed out in pain as a loud snap resounded in the room.
He left, and Yang lay on the floor, sobbing for hours after that.
*End of flashback*
Ruby understood perfectly, as she watched the tears escape Yang's broken looking, lilac eyes. There are some pains that you just can't forget, and the pain that was constant for Yang for two years, would never be forgotten by anyone who knew Yang at the time.
"I know... and I'm sorry for getting so angry, I know you're just trying to protect me, I just wish none of that happened to you..." The sisters tightened their embrace, more then willing to build their relationship back up in a matter of moments. As for Yang's relationship with Weiss...
The heiress stepped forward, putting her hand out.
"I fear we have gotten off on the wrong foot. Hello, my name is Weiss Schnee. I am dating your younger sister, Ruby. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance..." With a tiny smile, Yang pulled away and grasped Weiss's hand.
"Yang Xiao Long, as you said, Ruby's older sister. It will be... nice to get to know you." They shook hands, then stepped quickly away from each other. Ruby beamed at her girlfriend, but before she hug-pummeled her; Weiss did something that would surprise them all.
She turned to Blake, who had just risen from her seat.
"It is also... good to... meet you... Blake Belladonna." Weiss choked out, trying to look sincere, but coming across as tense and forced. Blake looked moved by the attempt though, a smile spreading across her face.
"Same to you Miss Schnee... same to you." The conversation might have gone on, but Ruby launched herself at Weiss in pride, wrapping her arms and legs around the pale form of Weiss.
"WEISS YOU ARE AMAZING!"
"RUBY! GET OFF OF ME, WE ARE IN A CAFE!"
"I LOVE YOU!"
"DOLT! COULDN'T YOU HAVE WAITED TO SAY THAT TILL WE WERE IN THE CAR?!" Weiss's loud words contradicted her soft blush, and the hand that was actually supporting Ruby, and holding the red-head against her.
Yang and Blake said their good byes, and left the cafe.
The drive back to Blake's house was quiet, but a comfortable quiet, one where they both were submerged in their own thoughts. When they got there; Yang walked Blake up to the door, gave the ebony-haired woman a kiss on the cheek, and drove home.
It wasn't until she paid Coco for watching Adrian, checked on him to make sure he was sleeping soundly, and hit the pillow of her bed; did Yang cry. She cried for all of the stress, and she cried for the memories that had resurfaced, but she also cried for one more reason: she wanted to date Blake, she knew that now, but...
'You disgusting dyke! You will never kiss a girl again, you hear me?! Never! No one will ever love you anyway, you're worthless, and disgusting, so don't even try. The second they find out that I'm here; they'll run, tails between their legs, mark my words. You. Are. Nothing!'
How could she... when his voice was still ringing in her ears. Even louder now than before. He'd kill Blake, he'd find out somehow and kill her. Yang could never love again, Junior had made sure of that.
A/N Next chapter we're going to learn a little more about Blake, so get ready for that! I want to thank you guys again, for reading, following, favoriting, and reviewing. It means so much to me! Have a good week!
