Chapter 29 - Dont Go To The Light
Previously:
"Scarlet!"
Buttercup watched as her bestfriend was shot dead. She fell into her boyfriends arms, and whispered one last thing to him,
"Take care of Ruby. I love you Jake."
"NO, SCARLET!"
.+.+.+.+
As Buttercup lay uncontious on a hospital bed, all she could do was wait. She was still alive, in her mind she could tell. All of her friends lives crumbled around her, although she was not awake to help. She wanted to make sure things would be okay. There was only one person she needed at the minute, and she was gone. She didn't yet know how wierd things would get in the next two hours. She just didn't know..
"What the fuck?"
Buttercup felt the soft clouds on her feet as she walked on the top of a cloud. She was dressed in a beutiful white dress. It made her look angelic, although she would never be caught dead in something so girly. She thought she was dreaming. She thought she was imagining it all. Everything looked so perfect. All the clouds and such. It looked like she was walking on air.
"Am I in Heaven?" she asked aloud.
A firmilar voice answered. "Not quite."
Buttercup spun around at the sound of the voice. Her eyes widended as she stared directly at the girl infront of her. A cowardly gasp escaped her mouth as Buttercup laid eyes on her.
Her.
Standing before her was a tall girl with the most stunning red hair. A small smile was placed on her lips, as she looked at her former best-friend. Thats right, it was Scarlet Foster. The girl that had been shot dead a few months back. Buttercup blinked a few times to be sure she was realy seeing her right now.
"S-Scarlet?" stuttered Buttercup.
Scarlet smiled. "In the flesh."
The two girls stared at eachother with diffrent expressions, Buttercup's shocked and Scarlet's happy. Buttercup was sure she was dreaming now, she could not believe that she was standing opposite from her dead friend. It was impossible. So she thought.
"What is this? How can I see you? Im so confused."
Scarlet nodded. "Lets just say your in purgatory."
Buttercup raised her eye brow. "What?"
"It means, your not in Heaven or Hell. Your just in the middle."
"Why? Am I dead?" she asked, startled.
A sad smile set on Scarlet's face. "That's your choice."
Buttercup arched her eyebrows in confusion. She was so unsure of what was going on. It all seemed like one big lucid dream; that she could control. Her eyes didn't move from Scarlet's face, she was too shocked to even be near her.
"I dont get it. What do you mean; its my choice?" asked Buttercup.
Scarlet smiled as she tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear. "You've escaped death before, and now your getting a second chance. That is, if you want to live."
"Why would I want to die?"
"You tell me."
Buttercup looked around with a confused face as she thought hardly about what she had said. Suddenly she felt a hand touch hers, she looked up to see Scarlet smiling. Buttercup gasped at the feeling, she was actualy touching her. It all seemed so real now.
"Come Buttercup. Im taking you somewhere."
Scarlet pulled at her hand and dragged her through the fluffly cloud wall, bringing her outside. Buttercup widended her eyes as she felt the cold, hard ground on her feet. They were in the streets, it all looked very firmilar. Buttercup could now feel the cold wind and see all of the buildings.
"Scar, how come were outside now? Whats happening?"
Scarlet didn't answer, she just walked. The two of them continued walking past. Scarlet smiled as she answered Buttercup's question by pointing to a tall, white house. Buttercup narrowed her eyes as she stared at it, it was her home in Townsville. Where she was created. She could remember it all. The big oak tree she would sit at, the park were she would meet new friends and the shops she would go to after school. It was all so real now.
Buttercup raised an eye brow. "Why are we in Townsville?" she asked.
"Because we are back in the year you were created."
They looked inside the window. All they could see was an empty living room, until seconds later Buttercup came in with The Proffesor. Buttercup couldn't help but smiling as she saw him. He was of course in his white lab coat and had his glasses on. Then she looked at herself, the small version of her anyway. She was always such a cute little five year old.
.+.+.+.+
Little Buttercup looked up at John, her bright green eyes beaming in happiness. "Thanks for taking me to the skate park, Proffesor!. I promise, im going to be the best skater in the world when I grow up!"
John bent down and smiled at her. "I know you will Buttercup..."
.+.+.+.+
Buttercup smiled at the scene. She didn't grow up to be the worlds best skater, but she still knew her way around the board. She had a good life, a very good life. It didn't matter that she was never who she wanted to be.
"You never called him dad. Ever. He was always the Proffesor to you. But he didn't mind, he loved you like his own anyway." said Scarlet.
Buttercup nodded smiling, willing herself not to cry. "Yeah. He did."
Suddenly the scene changed. They were now in a dark alley, only a dim headlight showed their way. Buttercup could see two people talking in the distance, it was her..and Butch. They looked pretty young, and nieve. They looked at eachother with cold expressions, as back then they were still enemys. Still counterparts, born to fight.
.+.+.+.+
The two 13 year old counterparts smirked at eachother.
"Come on, you can do better than that Butters."
Buttercup growled before aiming another punch at his face. They began punching and kicking eachother wildly, hoping to cause some damage. Butch whinded Buttercup, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Gahh!" she yelled.
Butch smirked victoriously before looking down at the girl. She was breathing heavily and trying not to hiperventilate. Butch bent down on one knee and looked at her with emotionless eyes.
"Haha, im stronger than you."
"What are you? twelve?" she choked out.
Butch smirked. "Just cause im better than you."
"You'll see Butch Jojo, one day im gonna be the strongest fighter this world has ever seen."
Butch smiled at her comment, a genuine smile. He looked deep into her eyes, feeling something new. His expression sofended slightly as he stared intently at her. They stayed quiet as they stared at eachother with blank expressions.
Buttercup sat up. "Are we gonna fight or what?"
"Y-Yeah."
.+.+.+.+
"The first time Butch got feelings for you."
Buttercup couldn't help but smile at that. He liked her since they were simply kids, it was unexpected, ecspecialy back then. Buttercup watched the two teenagers fighting. They didn't know that in a few years they would be in love, although it was expected.
"Why are you showing me all of this?" asked Buttercup curiously.
Scarlet smiled at her. "You need to decide whether you've reached what you wanted to. You wanted to be so much more than you are now, you need to dedice if your ready to give it all up."
Buttercup thought hardly about it. She couldn't take her eyes off of the young Buttercup, the one that thought by now she would be a world champion. It was all too much to think about right now.
"Theres one more I think you should see."
Suddenly the girls were now standing outside of the gymnasiam at Briceton Boarding School. Buttercup looked inside, staring at the one year younger versions on themselves. She remembered this day, it was Scarlet's good-bye party.
.+.+.+.+
Buttercup ran up to Scarlet, grinning happily like a five year old on christmas day.
''Scar, I just told Butch I love him and he said it back!'' squeeld Buttercup.
Scarlet smiled. ''Aww, im soo happy for you BC!''
Suddenly Scarlet's smile turned into a frown, as she thought about what this nigth was all about. She had to say goodbye.
''Im going to give everyone a personal goodbye starting with you. Buttercup, I've only known you a month but your like a sister to me, your my bestfriend and I love you.'' she said to Buttercup.
Buttercup grinned and hugged her friend. ''I love you too Scar, Im gonna miss you so much!''
''I hope things go good with you and Butch.'' said Scarlet.
''Dont say that, your gonna find out when I tell you to your face cause you ARE going to visit!'' she yelled over the music.
''Of course I am BC.'' She said smiling. ''But until then text me to tell me how terrible your new roomate is!''
Buttercup nodded, smiling. ''I sure will.''
.+.+.+.+
Buttercup smiled at the scene, although it was sad in a way. She turned to Scarlet, a confused look on her face. ''Why did you show me that?'' she asked.
''You were supposed to say good-bye to me once Buttercup, but you never could. You have one weakness: People leaving you. That's why you have doubts about going back, cause your scaired that when you wake up some of our friends might not have.''
Buttercup felt a tear slide down her cheek. ''Isnt that normal?''
Scarlet nodded. ''It is, but it's no reason to end your life. You have to choose, deal with the pain of friends leaving you, or end it all.''
The raven haired girl stared down at the ground, thinking to herself. She had a choice, this one was bigger than any other. Scarlet put her hand onto her friends shoulder, making her look up at her.
''Im dead Buttercup, I wont be coming back. If you can finaly deal with that, you'll be just fine.''
Buttercup smiled. ''I know what I have to do.''
...
The machines that were keeping Buttercup alive started blinking and making a rather large noise. The momiter was beeping loudly, cautiously. Suddenly Buttercup's eyes flittered open, revealing her to the outside world. A small smile appeared on her face before she muttered something she thought she would never say,
''Good bye, Scarlet.''
I know, I know. Its pretty cheezy.
But, ahk well. I thought it would be good. Plus, some of you were saying you missed Scarlet, so I gave her one final chapter. She will never be forgoten, RIP SCAR!
Please tell me what you all think!
NEXT CHAPTER - Mitch learns to adjust to life in a wheelchair. Cat begins feeling guilty once she learns Blake may never wake up. And Ashlie, along with Shaden and Harlie start a search for Tyler.
Until next time,
- Adriana xoxo
