Chapter 49:

Taking a deep breath, Ruby could feel her brow furrowing as she just dropped her phone onto the table. She knew that she was probably overreacting, but that wasn't going to mean she wasn't actually very angry and hurt.

"What happened?" Weiss asked as Ruby just began to grumble as she took a deep breath to calm herself.

"A text!?" Ruby yelled as she resisted the urge to throw her phone hard against the nearest wall. "She broke up with me through a fucking text!" Ruby hissed just as she took a deep breath knowing that she was going to be minutes away from getting kicked out of the library.

Not that it really was going to matter to Ruby. She just wanted to scream and possibly go storming down to Neon's room and pound on her door until she got an answer.

"I thought you were going to be fine if she broke up with you?" Weiss asked as Ruby just took a deep breath and began to rub her face.

"I meant face to face, or a call if she couldn't be woman enough to see me. She broke up with me through a fucking text!" Ruby screamed again as she could see the librarian walking over to shush her. "Sorry..." Ruby said as she just took another deep breath to just calm her nerves.

A remedy which seemed to fail as she could see Yang walking into the library which meant that she was most likely going to lose Weiss' support. No matter how flimsy it was. It was at least better than her going to try and apologise to Emerald and looking for support there.

"This day is just destroying what little mental healthy I have." Ruby said softly as she began to rub her temples as she could see Weiss looking unsure what she meant until she felt a hand clap against her back.

"WHO THE FUCK DARES!?" Weiss screamed as she turned her head to see the snickering blonde taking a seat next to her. "I should have you thrown in jail for assault."

"It was a clap on the back princess. And Ruby... how you been? You just stormed out on me yesterday in the hospital... and Emerald said you looked really messed up yesterday and I hadn't seen you at all today. Don't tell me you are hitting on princess. I don't think she swings that way, and if I'm not a cuddler, I refuse to believe that she is." Yang said as Ruby just groaned and rubbed her eyes.

"I'm far more of a cuddler than you are you brute. And Ruby and I've been friends for a long time. So why are you here? You aren't going to get interrupted and can sleep in your own room." Weiss hissed as Ruby just groaned once more as she took a deep breath and looked up.

"Both of you need to fuck." Ruby said as she looked towards Yang. "And I've had the worst twenty four hours culminating in Neon breaking up with me over a fucking text, and starting with that... I can't even finish that thought because the Nuns taught me better than to speak ill of the infirm... and last night ended with me getting into a screaming match with my Mom and grandmother and actually hurting my Mom and then therapy was going to shit and then some more shit... just seriously... a text. Not even a 'we had fun' type of text literally all it says is..." Ruby began as she picked her phone back up knowing that she was gambling if she had enough strength mentally to just put it down afterwards. "It instead says 'Were through. I'm in my room fine. This is goodbye. By the time you read this I'll have your number blocked.' and now this librarian is getting up in my business because I understandably am very pissed." Ruby said as she just took a deep breath as she dropped her phone slightly more aggressively onto the table.

"That bitch." Yang said as Ruby gestured towards her as Weiss just nodded her head in acceptance. "Like... did she seriously block your number?"

"I'm not picking up my phone to check, because the only decent way would be to call her and I'd probably toss my phone and probably break it. Which will lead to so many more headaches I don't need to have today." Ruby said as she just groaned a little internally at Yang just looking a little offended for her.

"Want to go over to her room to just swing at her a few times? Because I can't think of a worse way to break up with someone. Like at least have the decency to say it over a call." Yang said defeated as Ruby just happily accepted that comment as she took a deep breath and began to rub her eyes once more.

"I do... but I don't. I'd literally just get into another screaming match and I don't want two in as many days. I'm at the point where I just want her to have a happy and full life. And to get bent a little bit." Ruby said as she started to slide down the seat. "It is at the point where if I went to her place the only reason would be to pretend like me and you are dating. But that is just a bit mean." Ruby mumbled as Yang just chuckled a little.

"We totally could. Mostly because it would stick it to her from the constant mocking me... calling me fat. Although I thought I wasn't your type." Yang said with a smile as Weiss looked towards her and began to look at her.

"You are anything but fat. Pretty muscular. Seem like you would provide ample stimulation." Weiss said as Ruby just chuckled a little dryly.

"Again you two should just fuck and get it over with. And with my day has been going I'd gladly join in. But you both aren't my type... but I need someone to choke me."

"With your mother? Yeah, I don't plan to ever choke you if we did do something. Spanking maybe." Yang said before she shook her head a bit. "And I'm not even sure if I swing the way. Like yeah there is the occasional woman that sways my gaze, and frankly I can't stress this enough, princess is super prudish and your mother is freaking terrifying." Yang continued as Ruby just chuckled at the face of Weiss getting angry.

"Weiss, Yang does have a point. You can be prudish. I mean at least Winter doesn't hide her eyeing people up. And for the record, she is totally my type. Seems like she wouldn't be afraid to choke someone but at the same time like she'd cuddle afterwards and wouldn't stop until she had no choice but to leave. Frankly, the only downside is, she is without a doubt straight." Ruby said as she could see Weiss frowning as Yang had started to snicker. "Don't get high and mighty. Don't think I didn't notice you looking at Weiss." Ruby continued as she could see Yang paling as Weiss started to chuckle.

"I haven't been looking at her. She infuriates me. And I wish you had a brother... or sister so I could make you feel as uncomfortable. As you just made me feel." Weiss said sulking as Ruby just smiled at her and simply stuck her tongue out at her. "God, if I didn't need you so badly at that stupid party, I'd kill you one of these days." Weiss said as Ruby just chuckled a little at her.

"Anyways back onto the topic at hand, what are you going to do about Neon?" Yang said as she could see Ruby just tossing her a glare. "Not focusing on what she did isn't going to make it just disappear. It happened. What matters now is, what you are going to do about it." Yang said as Ruby blew her a single raspberry.

Rolling her eyes at the gesture, Yang just took a deep breath as she spoke up again. "Seriously Ruby. You can't dodge your feelings. If you want to go pound on her door, I'll help. If you want to go and just piss her off, we can do that too. But the point is you need to express your emotions."

"You are almost as bad as my therapist. Who at least is someone that gets paid to tell me crap like that... except she occasionally prescribes me things. Which you can't do and even if you could you wouldn't." Ruby said as she started to stand up. With a smile being etched onto her face. "Right... I should probably make at least an appearance in class at some point today. If you two want to make out go ahead... if you want to fuck, Yang just remember the tie rule... and if you want me to join in, leave a second tie on the doorknob as well." Ruby said as she grabbed her phone and just forced it into her pocket.

"Yeah again, with your mother and how weird your taste is in sex... I'm not going to risk you dying. Seriously who gets off on being choked? Does the threat of death not ward you off of that?" Yang said as Ruby just chuckled a little as she began to stretch.

"Nah, that makes it better. And seriously, don't knock it until you try it. Just don't try it unless someone in the group has experience with it and it helps if someone also knows CPR... like it helps a lot. Far more than you could even imagine. There has been a few times that I'd be dead if Reese didn't know that." Ruby chuckled as she could see Weiss blushing a little. "Oh come on Weiss. you've walked in a few times of Reese choking me at one of those stuffy parties. Besides Yang has walked in on me in much less of a presentable state with a noose around my neck where if I fought the restraints it would just get tighter. Which was just awesome." Ruby continued before she just took a deep breath and shook her head. "Right this isn't getting me to class. Stay safe Yang and remember, newbies always underestimate the importance of aftercare, and don't you dare touch my toys... those would break Weiss in half like a twig."

As Ruby said that and walked off, Yang and Weiss just stared daggers at her. "I swear if I wouldn't wind up in a fifty gallon drum... and if she wasn't rudely dumped, I'd slug her." Yang hissed as she turned towards Weiss. "She is right though. From all I've been told, her collection would probably break you. And I'm not saying that because you are tiny and like fifty pounds wet. I'm saying that because she has these huge ones that I've seen and I'm positive that I'd be broken." Yang said softly as she could see Weiss groaning.

"I can't believe that someone is actually making me want to go find Neo and try and piss her off. At least she would make sense." Weiss said as she stared at Yang. "Besides, Cinder is perfectly fine. Bit overbearing when it comes to Ruby, but is perfectly fine. And speaking from experience she is a lot better of a parent than either of mine. She just needs to take a chill pill when it comes to what Ruby can and will do. Let's just say that she has done a lot of crazy things and dragged me into it. Pretty sure we might have broken a few laws. Did you know she knows how to hotwire and lockpick? I didn't until this nine year old started to critic my family's cars and showed how the engines were inferior. Makes me wonder what she could do if her or people around her were evil." Weiss continued as Yang laughed gently. Not being sure what Weiss did and didn't know and not wanting to ruin that.

"Yeah... given her love and knowledge of those terrifying cars her mother collects, I'm not surprised."

Pounding on the door, Ruby just took a deep breath as she knew that Neon had to answer if she wanted to stop the pounding which had to be ringing in her ears. "Neon! Open the door! I just want to talk!" Ruby screamed for the thousandth time in as many seconds it seemed. "At least have the courage to break up with me to my face!" Ruby screamed as she could hear one the creaky door of the floor opening followed by the sound of solid footfalls leading up the stairs.

Shaking her head to just get her attention back where it mattered, Ruby just balled her hand up again, getting ready to pound on the door again when she noticed the person leaning against the wall. "I wouldn't knock like that Ruby."

"The fuck do you want Merc?" Ruby spat before she just took a deep breath. "She broke up with me through a text and I want to at least hear it from her mouth. So I'm sorry for snapping." Ruby said as she just took a deep breath and was about to bring her hand down when Mercury simply caught her hand.

"I get it Ruby. It sucks. But I can assure you she is alive. I was the one to drop her off under your mother's orders. As for breaking up with you... some people are just cowards." Mercury said softly as Ruby just took a deep breath. "Some women don't want to fight your family and would rather preserve their own lives damning the costs." Mercury continued as he lowered Ruby's hands. "So riddle me this Ruby, wouldn't doing this just be the equivalent of torture? That is if she is doing this because she is a coward."

"I can stop my family. I did it with Reese didn't I?" Ruby asked as she just took a deep breath.

"Reese didn't give you a very deadly drug at any point. She meanwhile confessed to it. Not to mention Reese has actually started to wear down the hate of your entire family except your Mother. So they ended up tolerating her and your relationship." Mercury said as Ruby just started to deflate. "It doesn't matter who wanted it, or even requested it. All that matters is she gave you some." Mercury continued as he gently started to gesture Ruby to come with him. "Come on Ruby, let's go for some ice cream. That tends to calm you down. And frankly I just want to irk Neo a bit. She is always very kinky when she is mad and I'm in the mood for that. Just hope she isn't near a knife. I can't handle the idea of going to the hospital to have my body stitched shut." Mercury said as Ruby just took a deep breath and began to look up towards him.

"The fuck is wrong with me?" Ruby whispered as Mercury just took a deep breath and wrapped the woman in a hug.

"Nothing is wrong with you Ruby. One day you'll find the perfect woman for you. No matter how much said woman angers your family. Just it isn't Reese it seems, and it certainly isn't Neon." Mercury said in a soft tone as he began to just rub Ruby's back. "And one day I hope that I'm given the honor of being your maid of honour... at least pick me over Emerald. I may be missing some of my legs, but I can still rock a dress better than her." Mercury said as Ruby laughed gently. Something that she hadn't felt like she had let out a genuine one in so long.

"Neo called dibs when we were like four. And I'm pretty sure Emerald can wear a dress better. Besides you'd be wearing a suit." Ruby said softly as she just took a deep breath as she separated from him and began to rub her eyes. "Let's get some ice cream... you're buying first round... I'll buy the one afterwards for saying I wished your Dad hit you last night." Ruby continued as Mercury just chuckled shaking his head.

"I said I wanted to irk Neo a bit. Two rounds of ice cream will end up with her being pissed off." Mercury chuckled out as Ruby just looked at him. "Besides, I know you didn't mean it. I get that emotions were high yesterday. Especially with what had just hit you. So, all is forgiven. But if it will make you feel better, I'll let you buy me a thing of that weird ice cream you and Neo both love. I'll buy two rounds of ice cream." Mercury said as he started to lead them out of the building.

"Is she actually safe? Don't tell me what Mom wants you to say, or what you think I want you to say. Just tell me the truth." Ruby asked as Mercury held the door open.

"She is worse for wear, but she is breathing and is patched up. Given a few weeks she'll be fine again. Just with some minor paranoia. The best way to get back at her for dumping you through text I'd say is to just move on. Find another girl... maybe a bit less crazy. I'd say Neo but you constantly scream about wanting a cuddler and she is far from that. Maybe Em..." Mercury said as he slid his keys out of his pocket.

"She is like a sister to me... and Neo oddly enough has gotten more on the Reese idea. But I can't think of any other girl who is even remotely interested in me that the feeling is mutual. I'm not like you or Neo who don't seem to care about that." Ruby mumbled as Mercury opened the door for her to get in.

"Trust me Ruby, that is a major benefit. And I'm sure you'll find someone. There is plenty of fish in the sea after all."

"I'm no marine biologist... but finding that fish is going to be hard."
