Today Was a Fairytale
A Sisters Grimm Fan Fiction
Chapter 28: Sad

Typically, when Sabrina Grimm was upset, she could just lean her head on Puck's shoulder, and then everything was okay, because he was always there for her. He was her wonder wall. The problem was that she'd screwed up her own life. She didn't want to believe it had happened. She still didn't believe that it had happened. The problem was, she just couldn't bring herself to feel as if she'd loved the wrong person for so long. She couldn't even say that she didn't want to do this anymore, because all she wanted was to be able to rest her head on Puck's shoulder and know that everything would be okay. But she couldn't, because the core of her sadness and disappointment, was in him.

Sometimes, the only way to know who truly cares about a person, is to walk away and see who follows. Sabrina had walked away, but no matter how slowly she'd walked, she couldn't shake that awful feeling that he wouldn't be following.

Sabrina could go and erase Puck from her mind. That was the easy part. It wasn't hard to do that. But for her to try and get him out of her heart? Well, that was another story. She just couldn't do that. Especially when she had to know that the relationship had not failed because there was no love. There was plenty of that. They'd loved each other too much for their circumstances and their ages. The sad thing was, even though she understand that she was heads over heels in love with the wrong boy, she just couldn't get over him. After all, trying to forget somebody who was once a loved one, was like trying to remember a person that had never been met.

If somebody were to ask her what was wrong, she'd say nothing as she stared blankly into space. In reality, though, everything was wrong. She would always wonder what it was that she'd done wrong and what could have been done differently. She would have changed, if she'd had the chance-or the power to change in the way that had needed to be changed. If she could go back and do it all over though, she was sure it would have ended the same way. She was the type of girl who had a wall up that was built slowly, brick by brick-lie after lie. And heartbreak after heartbreak.

"I think of you," She whispered into the dark. She was alone in her tent, which was good. If Daphne was there, she'd be almost as upset as Sabrina was, and that would only depress Sabrina more. Besides, Sabrina preferred to cry alone, because then she didn't need to go and explain to anyone about her tears.

Yeah, I think of you, Sabrina thought bitterly. But we can't talk right now. I miss you too, but I don't think I should admit that right now. I need you as well, but I can't let that show right now. And yes, I still love you, but I can't tell you that right now.


Puck had seen Sabrina, he'd met her. And he'd known immediately that he'd wanted her. He liked her for what seemed like ages and he'd chased her just as long. Maybe his tactics had been silly and stupid, almost foolish and definitely not able to work, but eventually he'd gotten to have her as his own. He had her, for a little while at least. And then he'd gotten sloppy-he'd gotten careless and cocky. It was almost as if he'd gotten bored, but that hadn't been true at all. But, whatever it was that he'd done, Sabrina had left. In the end, everything he'd ever loved, became everything he lost.

Although, in retrospect, Puck thought it was better that he was crying over Sabrina, than having her cry over him. He couldn't be sure that she wasn't in tears, but he hoped she wasn't. He didn't think it was right for her-the girl-to cry over him-the boy. He thought he should be the one crying over her, because girls could give and keep on giving. They would eventually forgive. But boys? They only knew how to receive-how to get what they wanted. And then, eventually, they moved on and forgot. It was just how their minds worked.

He knew it would be best to just take whatever was making him feel bad and leave it behind him, but he couldn't give it up for something that would make him smile. He couldn't keep what made him smile, because it was Sabrina and she had left him. He was just going to sleep. Sleep away all of the sadness that had been today.

He wanted to go find her-go and talk to her. He thought if they just had one discussion about how it had once been, everything could be okay and go back to normal. But he knew he couldn't do that, because she'd changed her mind about everything.

He couldn't stop thinking back to old memories and wishing he could somehow change the past.

THe was sure that Sabrina was somewhere, holding onto her pride tightly. The way he'd always held her.

She was sick of his lies, he was sure of it. She was sick of crying over him. She just wanted to end whatever game their relationship had become, because it only gave them both a lot of pain.

And nobody wanted pain. They all wanted to go straight to the happy feelings. They wanted smile and laughter at all times. They never wanted to deal with tears or sobs. They didn't realize that a rainbow was only possible when there was a little bit of rain first. Nobody could realize the wonder of the light without the dark. Puck's problem was that he always had pain.

"You know, no matter how strong a girl is, she does have her weak point at some time," A voice said from the entrance to his tent. He rolled over on his cot and faced Daphne. "But, sometimes, the solution to what they need is a hug," She told him. "Sabrina started smiling like nothing was wrong the second I entered the tent," Daphne explained as Puck raised an eyebrow, questioning why she was with him rather than her hurt sister. "And she thinks that nobody will realize that she's not okay, but I did. And you would too," She shrugged.

"What am I supposed to do?" Puck asked. "She doesn't want to be with me, because she knows how it's going to end. She doesn't believe that I can change things and make it all work out for the two of us. She doesn't think I can do it, so she's saving herself the intense pain that will come later by ending things now, before we get anymore attached," Puck shrugged. "And we're going to have to deal with the pain of seeing each other every day and knowing we can't have one another, but we'll be able to deal with it one day, and she'll move on soon," He told her. "So there's nothing I can do to change things," He said.

"Prove to her that you can change everything," Daphne responded simply before turning to walk away.
