Chapter 21 - Searching For Myself

Normal POV

Buttercup sat up in her bed, thinking to herslef. Beside her, Butch was snoring his face off. This wasent the reason Buttercup couldnt sleep, no it was because of Mitch. She was scaired, wondering where he was..he hadent been heard from since the wedding a week earlier.

Then again, she knew he would be safe, Mitch wasnet the kind to need help. She still worried for him thought, nothing could stop her worries. Buttercup looked down at Butch, sleeping so peacefuly. Little did Buttercup know, Butch had his own worries..for all he knew he could be a father in eight months.

Buttercup sighed and stepped out of her bed quietly, trying not to wake her boyfrined. She walked downstairs to see if anyone else was awake. Once she got downstairs she found Ashlie sitting on the coutch, staring into space.

''Ash?'' asked Buttercup as she walked into the dark room. Ashlie looked up at Buttercup and smiled before turning the lamp on. ''Sorry, I was just thinking about stuff'' said Ashlie. ''Shaden stuff?'' asked Buttercup as she sat down, refrencing to the Shaden/Aidan fiasco.

''Yeah, im still in shock you know'' said Ashlie as she stared into space once more. ''Well were all going through stuff at the minute, we just need to stay strong'' said Buttercup with a friendly smile. ''Realy, what stuff you going through?'' asked Ashlie curiously. ''Nothing important'' said Buttercup as she looked away.

''Well I should get back to bed, if you need to talk im here'' said Buttercup. Ashlie smiled and nodded as Buttercup walked back upstairs. Ashlie knew Shaden left something out, she and Aidan wouldnt have broken up over long distance..she knew her sister was hiding something, something Shaden knew Ashlie wouldnt want to hear...

Jake POV

I walked into my bosses office, he had wanted to speak to me. I have a pretty bad feeling about this. As soon as I walked in, Mr Benson stared up at me with cold eyes. ''You wanted to speak to me?'' I asked as I closed the door. ''Take a seat Jake'' said Mr Benson as he pointed to the seat on the other side of his desk, I sat down as stared at him.

''We all know that you recently won a trial for your daughter?'' asked Mr Benson. I nodded in responce, now I realy have a bad feeling about this. ''We just think that your taking too many days off, you cant only come in once a week'' said Mr Benson. ''With all do respect boss, I used to have time then my girlfriend died..so if I need to take time off to look after my daughter I dont care what you say'' I replied.

Mr Benson looked at me with harsh eyes and sighed. ''I understand that Jake but thats not the type of people were looking for here, we pulled alot of strings to let a 17 year old father work here, but it just isnt going to work anymore'' said Mr Benson. I opened my mouth in shock and stared at my boss.

''Mr Benson..are you fiering me!'' I asked. Mr Benson nodded and glared towards the door. ''Im sorry Jake but we cant keep you on anymore'' he said. I stood up and glared at him in anger. ''I have a 1 year old daughter and your seriously fiering me!'' I yelled. Mr benson nodded and pointed at the door.

''You can send for you things'' he said. I gave him a cold glare before pushing through the door and leaving the building. I leaned against the wall and ran a hand threw my hair.

What the hell am I supposed to do now!

Butch POV

I paced aroud my room, thinking about who was prengnant. My first suspect would be Buttercup, shes been acting wierd. Then again it could be Harlie or Bubbles..and Blossom was throwing up last night. Argh, this is too hard. I need help..and I think I know who to ask.

''Tyler!'' I called as I ran into Tylers room. Tyler stared up at me from his laptop and narrowed his eyes. ''Yeah?'' he asked. I sighed and closed the door. I sat on his bed and begun to explain EVERYTHING about what I saw last week, Tyler was in absoulout shock.

''Your serious? Do you know who it is?'' asked Tyler. I gave him an 'are you stupid' look before replying. ''If I knew, would I realy be asking you?'' I asked. ''Good point, well who do you THINK it is?'' asked Tyler. ''Well I think its Buttercup but Blossom was throwing last night aswell so I have no clue'' I replied.

''Have you slept with Ash yet?'' I asked him. ''Yeah, but it cant be Ashlie..'' said Tyler. Tyler then glared into space with wide eyes. ''Wait, last night she had like rapid stomach pains all night'' he said with wide eyes. ''So it could be Ashlie..'' I said as I thought.

This was going no where, all the girls in this house shared that one room, it could have been any of theirs!. I sighed and ran a hand threw my hair as I thought about my dilema, I could be a father soon, my brothers could be a father soon..all of us could be fathers, but whoever it is..wont come forward.

I'll find out soon, even if it means asking directly.

Jake POV

I walked downstairs, after calling all of my friends down. I had told them I lost my job, but I had a solution, it wouldnt be easy. As I held Ruby I stared down at my friends.

''Whats this about Jake?'' asked Boomer as he glared up at me. ''Well as you know I lost my job the day, and I have a solution. I need some time, after losing Scar and almost losing Ruby I just need to be around family. Im going back to Briceton for a while'' I said. Everyone glanced at eachother with shocked expressions.

''How long is a while?'' asked Blossom. I smiled down at Ruby and back up at my friends. ''A few months. I dont know. I just need some time, I'll be back once everythings sorted out'' I said bravely. Buttercup stood up and hugged me. ''You better come back!'' she said smiling, with tears in her eyes.

''I will, dont worry about that'' I replied happiley. I would be back eventually, but this just needs to be done. I need family around me right now, even if it means leaving my friends.

Scarlet would be proud of me, I've lost almost everything and im still standing. Yes, I would be back soon enough..but for now? I had to find myslef, sounds stupid but its my decision.

I walked out the door and stared up at the sky smiling. ''Hope I made you proud Scar'' I said with a smile before walking towards my taxi with Ruby, smiling the whole way.

Normal POV

Buttercup walked out of karma, after having a chat with Harlie and Blake. She continued walking home, thinking to herself about her problems. As she turned the corner to go home she bumped into someone.

''Sorr- Mitch?'' asked Buttercup in shock as she stared up at the boy infront of her. ''Hey'' said Mitch with a half smile. Buttercup widended her mouth in suprise and hugged her bestfriend. ''Your back!'' she yelled happily as she hugged him tighter. ''Im back'' said Mitch softly as he hugged her back.

Buttercup pulled away and smiled at Mitch. ''Where were you, we've been so worried!'' said Buttercup as she stared at him, waiting for an answer. ''I went home to see Kaliena, I wasent going to come back but I realised I cant just run'' said Mitch. Buttercup nodded in understandment as she smiled.

''Im just so glad your back, I thought you were gone for good!'' she said, fighting back tears. ''Your never getting rid of me BC'' he said with a smile. The two then hugged again, hoping that everything would be alright from now on, even though they knew it wouldnt..

Sometimes people need to find out who they realy are.
Its not giving up, its trying to make a new begining.
If I had the choice I would, but I already know who I am.

People do leave, but they always come back, no matter how hard the journey.
