This is what I get for neglecting this site for nearly 3 months. The system thingy changes and I'm confused as hell. Ah well.
Hm. Well. How should I say this? Hmmm. HMMM. So I thought I should do some important stuff. Like the annual cleaning of my room. Though, that is not working out well, due to the fact I'm surround by a clutter of messy piles trying to update things on here. Haha.
ANYWAYS, I'm so sorry for totally ditching you guys. It's very nice to know that everyone is still alerting, faving, and even reviewing! It's astounding and I appreciate it! And for the few who actually message me, believe me, I do read all the messages and reply! I just can't tell sometimes if my replies actually get sent...Sad isn't it?
OH! And for the few who read these stories and know that I play the alto saxophone (as well as if you play the instrument as well and have told me about it)...I am now a BARI SAX player. That's right, that monster of a saxophone. Yep. My director kinda forced me into it. But eh, I'll be our band's new bari player. Which means I have to march with that thing during MARCHING SEASON. Yaaay.
Now I really wonder who has bothered to read this entire thing or just scrolled down some to start the long overdue chapter? HMMM.
Alright, so yeah, new chapter. New stuff going on. Somewhat. Yeah.
Do I really need to keep putting disclaimers? I'm sure you guys are smart enough to know I don't own Transformers. Only Jackie. Right? RIGHT?
"Sunstreaker, please? Just once?"
"Sideswipe, no. Doing that won't make anything better."
"Yeah, but…You saw what she did!"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had turned off their holoforms. They well knew that the two women were heading over to the garage and they could watch what was going on from there. But they weren't expecting the outcomes. Jackie's sister had assaulted her. Not to mention all the pretty little words that came from her mouth. Then she had the nerve to step on Jackie's glasses. She also left her 'disgusting human prints' on Sunstreaker's paintjob. He wasn't too impressed himself either.
"I know Sideswipe, I saw." Sunstreaker sighed into their private COM link conversation. "But you can't just transform out in the open, chase her down, scare her, and expect everything to be okay."
"How 'bout I-"
"Come on Sideswipe. What that woman did to Jackie was wrong. And scaring her with your existence is just as wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right."
"Don't go all 'Prime' on me, Sunny." Sideswipe scoffed. "I can't help it. It was rude and uncalled for. On the humans' movies, it is said hitting one with glasses is not right! And it's wrong to hit a female too! So that was a double striker! She needs to be taught some lessons!"
"I agree with you on that one, but we can't risk it. There's nothing we can do about it." Sunstreaker told his twin with a sigh. "The only thing we can do is comfort Jackie. My sensors easily picked up the fact that she is stressed. Stress isn't so good for humans."
"Alright, fine." Sideswipe sighed in agreement.
"Just tell her we saw what happened through the window or something. Tell her something believable."
"Okay." Sideswipe agreed and the two made their holoforms reappear in the house before Jackie got back inside.

As I made my angry stomps over to my house, I tried making sure my facial expression wasn't so…depressed. I had to make sure I looked like nothing went on in the garage. But how was I suppose to do that with my glasses completely annihilated? Easy, I'll just tell the twins I was clumsy enough to trip over something and landed face first into the ground, causing my glasses to break. Yeah, I'm sure that would work.
I sighed through my nose and took a deep breath before entering the house. As soon as I did, I was greeted by the twins. They were standing right there in front of the door, with serious looks on both of their faces. I closed the door behind me and smiled at them shyly.
"You two still hungry…?" I asked with my fake smile.
"Jackie, we saw what happened." Sideswipe's face softened as he looked at me. Hearing what he said, I was immediately ashamed and looked at the ground. Now I really felt like crying…
"…Oh…" I simply muttered.
"Are you okay?" This time it was Sunstreaker. His expression also softened but not as much as Sideswipe's.
"I-It's …it's nothing. Don't worry…" I tried giving them another fake smile. "It's always like this when she's around…"
"Does she usually hit you…?" Sunstreaker asked.
I almost lost it there. I was biting my bottom lip to stop me from crying. Its bad enough I let them see what my sister did to me. I didn't want them to see me cry either…
"Jackie, does she usually hit you like that?" Sideswipe grabbed my shoulders and shoved his face close to mine, trying to make me look at him. That's when I lost it. I broke into tears right in front of him.
"Yeah, okay? She does!" I shouted as hot tears streamed down my face. I felt Sideswipe's grip on my shoulders loosen. I took that chance to shake out of his hands and make a dash for upstairs. But I wasn't fast enough as I ran straight into Sunstreaker's chest.
"Its okay, Jackie." His voice called to me in a soothing tone. I felt his arms bring me closer into his chest as he hugged me. I didn't even try fighting back for him to release me. I just stood there…and cried. I cried hard into his chest as both of my hands reached up for his shirt and took in handfuls of it.
"Jackie…" I heard Sideswipe whisper.
After about 3 minutes of crying, I was trying to stop. I pushed myself away from Sunstreaker so I could wipe my face with my arm, but this time Sunstreaker had his hands on my shoulders. I was sniffing and hiccupping as I continued to wipe my face.
"You okay now?" Sunstreaker asked and I only nodded in response.
"Jackie, I'm sorry…I…I didn't mean to make you-" I knew what Sideswipe was trying to get at.
"N-No, S-Sideswipe…It wa-wasn't your fault…" I sniffed as I turned around to look at Sideswipe. "I was …already upset…"
"Was that really your sister…?" Sideswipe asked.
"Y-Yeah." I nodded.
"…And I thought Sunstreaker was a horrible sibling…" Sideswipe gave a small smile. If he was trying to make me feel better, it was working. I let out a little laugh and I saw Sunstreaker smile too.
"Likewise Sides." Sunstreaker chuckled.
"Okay you two." I couldn't help but let out a small giggle at the two.
"You sure you're okay now, Jackie…?" Sideswipe asked me again.
"I'll be okay." I nodded at Sideswipe. "She just …ugh. Makes me so mad… and this isn't exactly the first time she's hit me either. It's just one of the first times I haven't hit her back." I sighed, walking over to the couch and taking a seat. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker followed. Both of them took a seat on either side of me.
"Not only that, but she deliberately broke your glasses." Sunstreaker folded his arms.
"Yeah! Isn't that like, illegal? Hitting someone with glasses?" Sideswipe added on and it made me laugh again.
"I know, but I have another pair. And no, Sideswipe. It's not illegal. It's just…frowned upon in society." Or should I say school grounds?
"But still! She shouldn't be hitting you!" Sideswipe shook his head. "Why didn't you hit back?"
"I would've but…" Sure I wanted to act like the mature one by not engaging in her little game. But was there any other reason holding me back? "I don't know…" I sighed.
"You've got a lot of patience to have not hit her back." Sunstreaker commented and Sideswipe nodded in agreement.
"Either that or I…I guess I grew up." I shrugged. "It was always like this when we were little. She'd try taking advantage of me, she throws the first hit, I hit her back, she cries and tells mom I went and hit her, I get punished, but it was always worth it. Some fights were a little…extreme…like one that happened during high school." I tried recalling all of the memories of when me and my sister fought.
"What happened?" Both of them asked at the same time.
"I'm not sure how it started, but she ended up starting a fight with me out in the courtyard. She was getting mad that I kept avoiding all of her punches. That's one of the times I was glad that I was smaller than her. But I was getting angry myself that there wasn't any teachers there to stop the fight… I kind of got caught off guard for a split second and she got me." I showed the underneath of my forearm and pointed to a visible scar that was almost 4 inches long. Did I mention she had long nails? "That originally was suppose to be on my face but I sidestepped her and that's where it ended up."
"Aw man, don't tell me you lost to her." Sideswipe grimaced.
"Well, no." I frowned.
"So you won?" Sunstreaker asked.
"Well…no." I closed my eyes and sighed. "I took a good whack at her in the gut. I hit straight on." I actually started to laugh, accidently remembering the face my sister made when my fist made contact with her stomach. "But I sort of ticked her off by doing that because she pulled a cheap move." I mumbled.
"What?" The twins asked together.
"She grabbed my hair. A cheap shot used by all girls who get into 'cat-fights'." Sighing, I decided to continue on with my story. "She grabbed my hair so I took another shot at her gut. And another…and another…The point is, she wouldn't let go of my hair until the teachers came to break us up. There wasn't much of a winner." I shrugged.
"Whoa! My girl's a fighter!" Sideswipe hooted as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. My face went red and I nearly forgot that I was almost previously crying my eyes out. "As long as you didn't lose, that's cool." Sideswipe patted my shoulder.
"Th-Thanks…I think." I mumbled. "That was kind of our last fight, until now of course." I brought my hand up to my face and rubbed the spot where Victoria had slapped me. I was thankful to say it wasn't showing any signs of swelling, but it still stung.
"It makes you the bigger person for not hitting back. It's a surprise she is the older one of you two." Sunstreaker commented while leaning back into the couch.
"I tell myself that every time." Sighing, I stood up from the couch, causing Sideswipe's arm to fall off my shoulders. "Oh and Sunstreaker? …Sorry for crying on you…" My cheeks went red from embarrassment as I didn't look at him.
"Its fine, you needed it." I still refused to look at Sunstreaker but he didn't sound mad about it.
"Well…I'm going to go upstairs real quick to get my other pair of glasses, I'll be right back down to start breakfast, okay?" I looked at the two sitting on the couch.
"Sure thing! We'll be waitin'." Sideswipe winked and I went red again. Sunstreaker nodded at me and I quickly made my way upstairs.
Ugh, this new update system doodad is not working too well with me. It hates me.
Anyways, so yeah. Wow right? Not really? Okay. I know I'm lame.
Thank you for keeping up with this mess! Much Appreciated!
