Me: I can explain why this Chapter is so dang late! A) The power went out last weekend. B) I was playing RuneScape for like…12 hours straight and C) I'm just plain lazy. But mostly A and B…and C. Anyways, I'll make it up to you by posting double the Chapters! Enjoy.
Disclaimer: If you really want me to waste my valuable time typing this dreaded sentence that has been repeated over seventy-billion times, than I will. I do not own the Power Puff Girls and CO.
Buttercup's POV
As I ate breakfast with Mandy and her family, I thought about what Butch said. He called me some mean things, and I didn't really see it coming. I mean, I guess I deserved for letting one of my friend beat the crap out of him, and almost stabbing him to death. If you call the knife just going into his body and coming out as easily as tying your shoes (which was pretty darn easy) almost being stabbed to death without even losing one drop of blood a crime, then yeah, I deserved it.
"Buttercup," Mandy's Mother said and I looked at her. "Are you alright honey? You seem a bit…quiet." I nodded and continued to eat my breakfast.
"I'm not really that hungry, and neither is Buttercup." Mandy told them, getting out of her chair and dragging me to the front door, where she threw me my bag. "Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" She pulled me out the door.
"What was that for?! I'm starving!" I screamed once we were walking on the sidewalk.
"I know, but I need you to tell me what happened on the phone earlier. You know. When Butch called." I glared at the ground when I heard that name. Butch was the one who had caused this whole thing. He was the reason Gaz was pissed off right now, Mandy's parents were worried about me and I was feeling like a…ya know. Slut? No…His words were getting to me, and words never get to me!
"Hello? Earth to Buttercup! Are you gonna tell me or not?" I jumped when Mandy suddenly yelled.
"Nothing happened, really. He just shook me a little bit." I lied, but Mandy saw right through my act.
"What did he say?" I took a deep breath and tried to prepare for the worst. When Mandy found out he insulted me in such a way over the phone, she'd freak. Not just freak, have a freaking Panic Attack.
"Well…He said I was an ass, and I was stupid for dating anyone I ever dated." Mandy gasped. "And then he called me a…a…" I could get it out, I just couldn't. Was it because it was so horrible I didn't dare repeat it, or was it just the fact I didn't believe Butch would say something like that to me?
"A what?"
"A slut." Mandy's eyes widened and her hands clenched together into fists. I saw the evil looked in her eyes, which turned red in anger. I had never seen her like this before. She was going insane for me?!?
"That sorry piece of trash…" She grumbled. "I'll show him why he's not supposed to mess with my friends!" I felt a sharp pain in my heart. My knees felt weak, and I just collapsed.
"Buttercup!" She cried and was next to me in a second. "Are you alright?" I didn't respond. I was to busy crying, crying so hard I couldn't barley breath. All this…this mess of a life was tearing my mental sanity to shreds. It was seven months ago, yet it felt as if Blossom's death had just happened. Then Butch being a jerk to me piled on top of all the other crummy stuff that has occurred in my life…It's just to much. To much weight for one person to carry on their own.
"Mandy…" I finally managed to say. "I hate this. All of this fighting and hatred. Why can't he admit he was wrong? Why can't he just do it to end this?! So we can be together again!" I cried on her shoulder and she patted my back. I glanced over and her face was also covered in tears. But her own.
"I don't know…But I do know what it's like to love someone who did something horrible to me…" She sighed and hugged me tighter.
"R-really?" I choked and she nodded.
"Yeah, but we've gotta get to school. Don't want to mess up our uniforms before the bell rings." She helped me stand up and we walked to school, hand in hand like little kids. Of course nobody said anything, because when the saw the tears they instantly knew somebody screwed the fuck up. And that screw up just so happened to walk into me.
"Move out the way Buttercup." He grunted and continued to walk. I glared at him, but he had that ugly look in his eyes. The one he had when he hit me. I felt the urge to cry again, but I stood strong and punched him in the jaw.
"Don't tell me what to do, Dick Wad!" I screamed. Everyone gasped and backed away, whispering to each other.
"If your still thinking about the conversation we had this morning," He said as he quickly got up off the ground, his hand on the left cheek. "I'm not taking it back." I went into a stage of shock.
"W-what?!" I drew my breath in, hoping this nightmare would just end. Hoping Butch was just pulling one of his dumb pranks on me. But the smug expression just stayed put on his face.
"That's right. I'm not going to forgive your ass for allowing Gaz to hurt me! We'll never date again! Matter fact, I already have a new girlfriend!" He shot, and put his arm around a girl with short spiky black hair, dark green eyes and an all black uniform on. She looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out who she was because I got that weak feeling again. The one I had when I was talking to Butch before. I knew my skin was pale, all except for my cheeks which were a light pink. My legs wobbled.
"Oh Butch! I'm so gonna kick your ass later!" Mandy screamed, which made my heart slow. She wasn't joking, she neverjoked. Trust me.
"Hey, what's wrong with her?" Butch's new girlfriend asked, pointing at me. Butch did a double take when he saw my eyes droop.
"Heh, who cares?" He sneered and laughed with his girlfriend. That's when I could no longer take it. The stress got to me, and I just lost the ability to control it. I fainted.
Mandy's POV
I felt my blood pressure rise when Butch said that last sentence.
"Heh, who cares?" He sneered and laughed with his girlfriend. I was about to yell another insult, but I saw something moving very fast in front of me. It took me a second and a half to realize it was my friend falling with her eyes closed, cheeks pink and skin pale. I lunged for her and thankfully caught her before she got a concussion. The breath was knocked out of me because of Buttercup's weight, but I managed to keep her up. I began to wonder why she had fainted like that. Then I began to wonder why the Hell hadn't I called 911 yet.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" I screamed as I strained myself to keep the raven haired girl up. Loud screamed were heard, and frantic Buttercup Fan Club members ran around shrieking. Just then, someone walked out that made the whole place quiet down. It was Jack, his hand held up as he swiftly walked over to us. He bent down and took Buttercup out my arms without a word, and began walking back to the Dojo.
"Um…Sensei Jack." I looked over to Suzy, who was on the verge of tears. "Is Buttercup gonna be…Alright?" she asked.
"Yes. You could come with me if you want to." He told her with a small smile. I instantly ran over to them.
"I'm coming too." He nodded and we followed, along with the other Fan Club members. I saw out the corner or my eye, Butch and his new girlfriend also walking with us. Actually, Butch was walking with us. The girl was being dragged along the pathway, but I didn't give a shit. They were probably the reason Buttercup fainted. Stress got to her head, stress that she was able to control until The Devil and The She-Devil themselves decided to reveal their dirty little secret right now, of all times and of all places. Nothing he could do would make this right. Unless there was some magical way he could fastfoward time before this happended and just admit he was wrong. If he couldn't think of a way to make up for it, he'd never go anywhere near Buttercup in his life or he'd pay a fine.
I'd make sure of it.
