The drive to Weiss's place was calm. Not a thing was on either of their minds as they just watched the buildings go by. It had felt like a massive weight was lifted off of her shoulders that had accumulated over the years trapped in the Schnee family name. It was guaranteed freedom, her mother could not control her actions any longer. She considered pressing charges against the woman, but decided not to, as she would rather just forget, letting the woman live and die in isolation.
Ruby was sitting in the passenger seat, agreeing to help Weiss move her stuff out. Weiss was moving into her place anyways, a decision Ruby brought up to Weiss in the first place. They could live together happily now, no one else to truly get in the way of their relationship. Ruby was truly content in the moment.
The mansion was coming into view, it looked far less cold than it did before, but that may have been because she had Ruby with her. The old place just looked isolated now, a shell of the foreboding place Weiss knew from her memories. The garage remained closed and the car remained outside in the small cul-de-sac out front, they wouldn't be here for too long. Weiss was the first to step out of the car, and decided to open the door for Ruby. The brunette's smile was enough gratitude for Weiss to be satisfied over the next month. The front door was locked, signifying that her mother had not returned, as she always had private drivers drop her off in the front. Weiss took out a key and unlocked the door, letting herself and Ruby inside. It was the first time Ruby had ever seen more than the outside and Weiss' room, to say she was shocked would be an understatement, she was speechless and stock still, not even moving when Weiss started walking towards her room. Weiss had to turn around and tap Ruby on the shoulder just to snap her out of the shocked state. The two continued to Weiss' room to pack her belongings.
The room looked just the same as Weiss had left it, but Ruby noticed the instruments in the corner of the room first, "I didn't know you played music!"
"I thought you noticed my guitar before, it was sitting in that corner when you first came here,"
"I didn't notice it, I was probably too busy comforting you at the time, the keyboard is a new development though, right?"
"Yeah, I found it in the music room, mostly there because a keyboard is far easier to move than a proper piano, I decided to take into my growing roster of instruments I used to comfort myself in my darker moments. It feels like just yesterday I playing MCR songs waiting for pain and suffering to be replaced by more pain and suffering,"
"You're alright now though, right Weiss?"
"Oh most definitely, now can we hurry and move this stuff to the car, I'd honestly prefer to leave before my mother shows up,"
"That sounds like a good idea," the two started pulling things out of drawers and the closet to be moved to the car, sets of clothing, jewelry, among other things. Most of the stuff was in the car, except for the keyboard and guitar, they left those two items for last, them being the most valuable items to Weiss. On the way out the front door opened, and Weiss' mother walked in. She turned to look at the pair, asking, "what do you honestly think you're doing?"
Weiss answered first, "leaving this god awful place behind, why?"
Weiss' mother started getting extremely angry immediately, "You can't actually do that, I will come after you. And what about the other girl anyway? She sure seems confident to help you,"
"She's my girlfriend, Ruby Rose, now if you will excuse me, we have these last items to pack and we'll be on our way,"
Weiss' mother blocked the door, "you aren't leaving this place, you are my daughter and you will do exactly as I say,"
"I'm not your daughter anymore Daphne, I'm not a Schnee anymore in every way except in blood relation, I've been disowned,"
"What? What do you mean 'not my daughter'? I'm still your mother I'm going to come after you if you leave this place,"
"And I'll have you arrested for stalking, now please get out of our way so we can leave,"
Weiss' mother hesitantly stepped aside, allowing Weiss and Ruby to leave the building. They packed the instruments into Weiss' car and got in, starting the engine and driving away.
It had been a week since they left the mansion, and an eventful one at that. Daphne remained true to what she said, she tried to get the girl back within her grasp, but Weiss saw her one morning and called the police, and they didn't take bribes, locking her away and assuring Weiss that she would never have to see her again. They had moved all of Weiss' things into Ruby's home, a decently sized, two floor house that was far more comfortable than anywhere she'd ever lived. A car was now permanently parked on the driveway of the Rose household, a sleek white sports car that looked way outside of Ruby's pay range from shows, it was Weiss' vehicle, something that was and always will be a symbol of freedom to her. Weiss was good at playing keyboard and was invited to audition for a role in Ruby's band, their first keyboard player, Ruby took it seriously, making sure to notify Weiss that just because she was her girlfriend, it didn't mean she would take it easy on her for the role. Weiss managed to pass with flying colours though, and the house remains empty for a few hours every day as they went out to practice with the rest of the band. Life was going to be good from now on, Weiss promised herself this, and never broke it. Ever.
AN: And so concludes The Red and White Guitar. If you guys want some sort of epilogue in the future of this world, like where Weiss and Ruby are married or something, let me know, otherwise, the story is just going to remain marked completed, as everything is tied up, I think. I didn't show the impact of the special chapters on the story because bumblebee was meant for its own sections, I didn't want it bleeding into the main plot. Now for what may be the final time on this story, Raz3r out! (keep an eye out for Our Time at Beacon, I'm going to actually start that story now)
