HEYO GUYS members of my high school family passed this past weekend and it made me start thinking how precious life really is! They were only 18 and now there gone... Just started college to FIRST SEMESTER *Sigh* Just wanna say life is very important and don't take it for granted.

Ruby sat on the far end of the couch while Sapphire sat in the middle. The movie "Expendables" was playing moderately loud not to wake Zir. It was in the middle of the movie when Sapphire looked at Ruby and asked, "What do you want Ruby?"

Ruby wasn't paying attention to the movie at all, she was too busy sneaking glances at her host. When Sapphire asked her that question she began to panic "I uh just thought you were very beautiful and I-"

"Is that why you're doing all of these things for me? To sleep with me?!"

Ruby's eyes went wide and was blushing so hard you could see steam coming from her cheeks. "I would never do that to you, Sapphire! I was just trying to be nice, I don't want to sleep with you."

Sapphire sat silently for a moment and then let out a sigh. "Ruby, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you it's just that the way things are right now, I can't trust a lot of people."

"Well," Ruby clicked off the television and turned to Sapphire. "Why don't you tell me about it. You might not know me well enough to tell me if you murdered a man but I do have a sympathetic ear."

Sapphire gave her a sad smile but once again sat in silence. Ruby was about to say that she didn't have to unless she felt comfortable but then she began to talk.

"Me and my husband met in high school as you know, and we loved each other very deeply. We even went to the same college but we had an argument and broke up." Sapphire looked at her hands and began twiddling her thumbs. "Well we graduated, and we soon met each other afterward. Then we got married and it was lovely for a few months, but something changed in him." Ruby could see that a tear stream ran down her cheek.

Ruby began to panic and immediately moved next to her not knowing what to actually do. She knew she needed comfort but she didn't know how to go about it. So she did an awkward hug and Sapphire laid her head on Ruby's shoulder. Ruby awkwardly pat Sapphires back until she heard "I was... so scared Ruby." At the sound of Sapphires quivering voice, Ruby's body went rigid. "What did he do to you..."

"He...he'd..beat me...Ruby...he abused me so badly...and I...I..was so scared." Ruby held Sapphire tightly in her arms. Ruby's body was seething in rage imagining who would ever hurt a person like Sapphire; He is going to need to be taken care of. Ruby was mentally remembering hitmen when Sapphire sniffed and continued her story "When I realized that I was pregnant; I couldn't have Zircon around that man. I filed for divorce and made a restraining order including full custody on Zir."

Ruby tried to sound calm but there was an edge to her voice "Did you take him to court? And tell them what he did to you?"

"No"

"Why?" Her tone sounded more harsh than intended.

"I don't know, it was just that in my mind I was thinking that if I were to do something different maybe he would change back into the person that I fell in love with,"Sapphire said easing away from Ruby, who suddenly stood up and started to pace in front of the couch.

"How could you let a scumbag like him do that to you and let him go?!"

"It was just that-"

"This is unbelievable, I will rip this bastard apart with my bare hands!" Ruby was taking her phone out to call Jasper when Sapphire yelled: "Because he loved me when no one else would."

This made Ruby pause. "What does that even mean?"

Sapphire was crying again, Ruby hated making her cry but she needed to know all the details before she puts a hit on this man. Ruby sat back down beside Sapphire and attempted to hug her. She immediately moved away and said in an icy tone "No, don't touch me".

Her voice sent ice shards through Ruby's heart and made her cringe. "I...I'm sorry Sapphire. It's just that I don't understand, you said that you stayed with him because he was the only person who would love you but...What is there not to love about you?"

"This!" Sapphire lifted her bangs and for the first time, Ruby was able to see Sapphire intense blue eye, red with crying while the other one was closed shut by a scar.

"You're beautiful," Ruby mumbled.

"I'm hideous" Sapphire cried facing away from Ruby.

"Sapphire, I don't think you're hideous and nowhere near ugly. It's just that if you were a vegetable you'd be a cute-cumber."Ruby said a bit nervous.

Sapphire didn't say anything for awhile but she began to make a little noise. Ruby started to panic again until she heard that the sound was laughter.

"What the hell is a cute-cumber," Sapphire said with tears of laughter.
