I don't own the Powerpuff Girls

Thanks to all the reviewers and to AugustAngell, who I hope doesn't mind that I used his/her idea/suggestion type thing… Hope you like!


School passed by dreadfully slow. I was counting the minutes only to turn to the clock to see I had been counting the seconds.

Finally though, the final bell rang and I met up with Bubbles and Buttercup. We walk out the doors together in silence, silence until,

"BUTTERCUP!" Butch yells running up to her. She glares at him,

"Shut up, will you?" He softens his voice so only she can hear him. I don't know what their talking about, even with super hearing, but they walk away together soon after. They leave me and Bubbles standing around,

"Well, I guess we better start walking." I tell her. She looks at me,

"Where's Boomie? They said they'd all be here, not just Butch." I roll my eyes,

"They're coming, let's just get started. Come on." She shifted uncomfortable, but walked with me none the less.

"Blossom," she starts,

"Yeah,"

"Uh, I'm kind of scared to go home. I mean, we didn't leave him in the best conditions."

"Bubbles we'll be fine! We always are!" I try to cheer her up, it keeps her quiet but I don't think she quite believes me. We walk in silence a little more until,

"Hey," I turn around to see Brick and Boomer standing there. Bubbles runs up to Boomer and hugs him.

"Boomer! I missed you!" He laughs and grabs her hand, they walk off together. I turn toward Brick. He stares at me, uncomfortable,

"So, how was school?" He tries to start a conversation.

"Fine, boring," I state quickly. He grabs my hand softly and motions for us to keep walking. We walk a block or so in silence before he has to ask,

"I'm sorry about this morning, I know it was weird and I-"

"Are you talking about what Butch did or…uh, what, you did?" I interrupt him, he stares at our intertwined hands,

"Uh, what I did…"

"Oh… Well, don't worry about it… It's fine." He stops walking,

"No Blossom. Obviously it's not. You freaked out, I'm sorry, really. Just… Can you please tell me why? And promise not to lie to me again, I know I'm one to talk but…" he stops and sighs before staring at me, waiting for me to talk maybe. I take a deep breath, my thoughts on this morning.

I woke up to see Brick still on the couch. I grab my clothes and leave to the bathroom to get ready. After I finish, I return to my room and wake up Brick. I walk quietly toward the couch and gently shake him awake.

"Brick? Get up, it's morning." He groans, but gets up all the same.

"Mornin' Blossy." I roll my eyes as he leaves the room, probably to the bathroom. I turn on my hair straightener and wait for it to get hot. I put on my makeup and brush my already perfectly straight hair. Once the straightener is hot, I check to make sure Brick's not on his way back before I push the heat to my skin. I let it burn, like I always do, I hear Brick on his way back. I quickly turn the straightener off and put it away just as he comes in. He smirks when he sees me,

"Hey," he winks, I roll my eyes again. I sense him come up behind me, he then breathes down my neck sending chills down my spine. I turn around to face him,

"What do you want?" He smirks, wrapping his arms round my waist. I smirk at him,

"You a little forward much?" He backs me up against a wall before kissing me, I kiss him back and run my hands through his hair, puling him closer. His arms around my waist tighten as he pulls me closer. Finally we pull away for air, he takes one of my hands from in his hair and holds it-at the wrist. He rubs his thumb against my hand until he feels it. He drops my gaze and looks down at it, he sees my burn.

"Blossom, how did you get this?" I play dumb,

"Huh, what? Get what?" He glares back at me,

"You know what! How did you get the burn?" he throws my hand back at me and steps away from me.

"Why? What are you implying? That I burn myself? Well you know what I do! Is that what you want to hear?" I start yelling at him, I'm angry and I'm unsure as to why.

"So you do burn yourself! Why didn't you tell me when I asked you?"

"I did tell you! I do smoke cigarettes!"

"Well I think this is more important, more considered a problem! You lied to me!"

"Like you've never lied to me?"

"This is important Bloss, I want to help you!" He softens a little, "I just want to help."

I just stare at him, he sighs, "can you at least tell me why you feel the need to do this to yourself?" How can I possibly answer that, why should I?

"Why should I tell you?" I seethe, I'm just so angry. He's about to reply when I hear my father,

"BLOSSOM GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" And with that, I run down the stairs.

And now I feel so guilty, he just wanted to help, he kissed me, I think that means he likes me right? I like him too, I take another deep breathe before I pour my heart out to my former worst enemy.

"I, I lied to you because it was easy and I haven't really admitted it to myself that it's bad and I just… I didn't want to stop because it helps me and I don't know how or why, and that scares me, but I don't care at the same time! And you were… You were there. I'm sorry I flipped out at you, I do want you to help me, I'm just scared." I admit, I look at the ground and I avoid his eyes. He steps closer to me and pulls me into a hug. I hadn't realized I had been crying till I found I was making his shirt wet.

"It's okay," he murmurs, "you'll get through this and I'll be with you, every step of the way. Trust me, I'll be there." My tears slowly stop and I pull away to look into his eyes,

"I do trust you…I…" I pull him closer into a deep hug, "I need you." He accepts my hug than pulls away a little to take to my face,

"We should get you home, let's go." We start walking again as I cling to his arm.

I feel better already.
