Okay so this story has nearly 100 followers... Holy Shit! To put into perspective, the second highest is only at 73 and the third highest is at 48. I said I'm stoked to see where this is going to go and I never thought it would get this far. I thought it would only get to seventy. But you all keep proving me wrong.

Chapter 11:

"No, I don't believe you. Ruby would never even attempt to commit suicide." Neo had been denying it for five minutes straight. She refused to believe that the small red head she fell in love with would become so depressed after they broke up. 'I knew she would be sad but that just seems too extreme for her.' Neo thought still shaking her head. Even thinking about it was too extreme for her.

"Oh so me walking in on her hanging with a rope around her neck what was that!?" Yang asked still angry but had managed to control her rage enough to not punch Neo through a wall. Not that the idea hadn't crossed her mind. It had on more than one occasion since she saw Neo that day. "Please let me know exactly what you meant when you said Rubes didn't tell me everything? Keep in mind I may just beat the ever loving shit out of you if I'm not happy with your answer." Yang said cracking her knuckles. Not to intimidate but to prevent any damage if she was to punch Neo.

"I mean just that. Ruby didn't tell you fully why we broke up, did she?" Neo asked, she could practically feel the rage radiating from Yang. She knew it was going to need to be said but she had hoped Ruby would have told her the truth and all of it, but clearly Ruby only said that they broke up, and with what Yang told Neo she feels like Yang's reaction was an understatement.

"I had to break up with her because she is too nice." Neo said and felt Yang glare intensify.

"You best be going to clarify what you mean real fast, or we are going to have an even bigger problem." Yang said not hiding her anger in the slightest. She was so close to beating Neo to an inch of her life and then some. Jaune having decided Fox needed help in the kitchen after he turned the sign in the window around to closed.

"I mean just that. The first one of Junior's parties I went to, I ended up cheating on her after I got really drunk and felt terrible. I told her and she just wanted to work through it. I just knew that drunk actions are sober thoughts and I would eventually do it again, and that was and still is something I could never do to her." Neo started. She could see the rage in Yang's eyes subside a bit after flaring at the start.

"I just knew it hurt her but she was willing to forgive straight away, and before long it would add up and just destroy her while enabling me. She would end up unable to break up with me and just slowly let it destroy her. I knew I had to break it up with her. Short term it may hurt her more but if it meant she could find someone better than it would be worth it. I certainly don't deserve her." Neo said softly. A tear just slipping down the side of her face.

"Your right. She does deserve better but you know she would loath herself if she caused you to beat yourself up." Yang said standing up and walking over to the door. "Jaune I'm leaving. Neo is still alive." Yang said unlocking the door she didn't even realise Jaune had locked and walked out. She knew Ruby wasn't telling her everything, but she felt terrible treating Neo so bad when she was trying to make Ruby's life easier.

Yang stopped at the front door of her house. 'I may feel like an ass being a bitch towards her, but what she did was terrible. But I'm sure Ruby knew Neo had the best intentions. This just confuses me.' Yang said. As she looked at the ground she could see a few droplets fall and stain the dusty stone slab just at the base of the door.

"What a terrible day for rain... eh?" Yang heard. She turned around and saw Coco standing there. She had a grin on her face as Yang rubbed her eyes to try and hide the fact that she was crying. "Don't do that. Come over here, and just tell me what got you to cry." Coco said as Yang just walked over as Coco sat down on the step and patted the spot next to her.

"I know something clearly hurt you, but I also know that you probably don't want to talk about it without me prying. So, what tore you up so bad to the point you couldn't keep up the strong defender persona?" Coco asked as she rubbed Yang's back, and pulling her closer.

"I don't know. It may just be everything seems, like Ruby is hiding everything that is destroying her mentally, but the fact it is starting to destroy her physically and she just seems to bottle it up and instantly forgive whoever is causing it." Yang cried into Coco.

"I'm going to be honest, I don't know Ruby that well. From what I've seen though she just doesn't want to cause you or your dad any more trouble. Not that I'm saying that it is difficult for either of you but she probably just sees it as that." Coco said rubbing her back just trying to offer advice to Yang.

"Why did you come here anyway? I don't mean to be rude but this was just what I really needed." Yang said after a few minutes of silence. She did toss what Coco said around her mind but she still couldn't figure out what would cause Ruby to think of such a thing.

"Neo and I are friends. She figured since she didn't wind up in hospital after what she said that you probably need a shoulder to cry on. I agreed so I decided to come over. She also mentioned that you were oddly more pissed off. What got to you before you ran into her?" Coco asked. She really hated prying but she knew Yang's character type. She doesn't like showing emotion. Not like others who saw it as a weakness. It was because she had to be a parental figure for too long, she had to be the person Ruby had to go to, to cry but it was that same reason it was tearing them both up.

"Me and Ruby got into a fight. She accused me of stealing one of her drawings which for the record I never would. Jaune offered me an out by asking me to talk to Neo... still not sure if I made the right call." Yang said leaning into Coco's embrace. 'This feels right.' They both thought about how they felt in the embrace.

"I should probably go in there and at least start cooking. You want to come in? You can actually have a conversation with her. You will need to actually write your conversation down, but she actually isn't that bad." Yang said standing up and quickly wiping her face. 'My eyes are probably red but I don't care. I need to at least start cooking so we can have dinner.' Yang thought smiling as Coco stood up and walked to standing at the door waiting for Yang to open it.

"That sounds nice. Not sure if she'll like me though. First time we met I kissed you while she was angry at you. And the second time I had to help her head to the bakery." Coco said as Yang laughed a little.

"Ruby is incapable of hate. Or any really negative emotions." Yang joked as she stepped in. Relaxing as she saw Ruby sulking a little as she was reading the subtitles on the T.V.

Yang walked in and was somewhat overjoyed that Ruby looked up and smiled seeing Yang again.

'Coco is staying for dinner, so if you want to talk with her just write.' Yang signed as Ruby offered a seat for Coco. "Okay Coco, just don't turn the subtitles off." Yang said as Coco sat down next to Ruby. Yang smiled and walked out of the room.

Ruby looked over and once she saw Yang disappear Ruby pulled out some scraps of paper and quickly wrote out a message that had been bothering her for a while. 'What are your intentions with my sister?'

Coco read it and got confused. So she wrote simply that. 'What do you mean?'

'Are you going to date her? Or are you just going to be friends or what?' Ruby wasn't trying to be nosy, Yang wouldn't tell her if she asked. She was also trying to look out for Yang. Ruby would be damned if she let another woman like Cinder date Yang.

'Right now she is more worried about you. Not that I would be against dating her, but she wants to make sure you would be okay with me first.' Coco wasn't jealous or anything. She was actually glad that Yang cared enough about any future relationship had to be approved by Ruby. It showed exactly how close they were. Something Coco was jealous about due to her lack of a sister, or a brother.

'I'm sure if you guys do end up a thing you'll be better than her last girlfriend.' Ruby wrote giving Coco just enough time to read it before she took back the paper and wrote another message. 'Why was Yang crying? Is she in trouble? I'm only asking because she wouldn't tell me otherwise.' Ruby concerned really. Yang almost never cried, and when she did it was because something bad happened.

'She isn't in trouble. She was just trying to piece something together.' Coco wrote. She felt somewhat terrible. She felt like she was lying but she knew she wasn't. 'God dang it. How can one person make you feel something like guilt when you have nothing to be guilty about?' Coco thought as she leaned back and just watched what Ruby was watching.

'I know you aren't telling me everything but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and I'm going to assume you would tell me if she was really in trouble.' Ruby passed the message back over and was shocked to see Coco's expression not change. Normally when Ruby called someone out the very least their expression would shift in one direction or the other.

'It isn't my place to tell you why she was crying but I would tell you. I have no reason not to.' Coco wrote and smiled as she saw Ruby smile.
