Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a year college is just to real but here I go again~

The moment that Ruby heard Sapphire's laughter, she began to relax.

"It's you of course! And no I'm not saying this to sleep with you or anything. I truly think that you are beautiful and should never be treated that way."

Ruby moved a little closer to Sapphire testing her boundaries, when she wasn't pushed away Ruby lowered her voice and looked in her eyes. "My mother was a victim of spousal abuse. My father would beat her in front of me every time she did something that was wrong in his eyes." Ruby took a deep breath, she's never told anyone this story before. "As a result, I always got into fights at school, these scars" she continued with a hint of laughter "Unfortunately are not from fights with barn yard animals, but from people who I was lashing out on who didn't want to take my crap."

Ruby cautiously looked up at Sapphire who was looking back at her "When I was 9…." Ruby continued "My mom committed suicide." When Ruby said these words a deathly silence fell between the two. Man she must think I'm a screw ball or something so I guess it's best to quit while I'm ahead. Ruby got up and yawned avoiding Sapphire's eye "You know it's kinda late we better h-"

"Wait!" Sapphire grabbed her hand. "Y-you didn't finish…."

Still not looking at her "Are you sure you want to hear more?"

"Yes Ruby….I got to make sure my guest isn't a serial killer or something" Sapphire said and Ruby could hear a hint of laughter but it was shrouded by sadness.

Ruby sat down with a tiny smile and continued "I still remember her funeral vividly, me and my father looking at her lifeless face with her shirt barely covering the noose indent on her neck." Ruby gave a sad laugh, "you know what her last thoughts probably were' I can't save these two'"

Ruby felt Sapphire's hand on her cheeks wiping away tears that she did not know that fallen. Ruby grabbed her hands and held on tightly to them and looked her straight in the eye "Sapphire, I know that we just met and everything but I want you to understand something about me. I will never hurt you nor your daughter and I will not let anyone hurt you. I've see your pain through my mother's eyes and even though I haven't been through it first hand, but I can see what it can do. Sapphire…..you are so much stronger then you think you are.."

When Ruby said those words Sapphire burst into tears and hugged Ruby crying into her arms. In response Ruby hugged her in return with the same amount of strength and rocked her back and forth humming a lullaby that her own mom sang for her before she took her life.

They sat like this in what seemed like hours until Ruby herd the soft sound of snoring coming from the blond-haired women in her arms. 'Wow, she's to adorable …..maybe…. I ..could.' Ruby's breath became short as she ducked her head closer to Sapphires. To Ruby, Sapphires small kissable lips were to tantalizing to resist but the moment she was coming in for a landing she heard "What are you doing?"

'Shit' Ruby thought "Oh nothing I was just looking at my watch….that's right I don't have a watch, but regardless it's kinda late and I think we should just call it a night" Ruby said with a nervous laugh.

Sapphire looked at her own watch and jumped up "your right it's almost 1 in the morning and I have work tomorrow!"

When Sapphire said this she immediately ran up the stairs and closed her door. Leaving a stunned Ruby looking at her arms where Sapphire was moments before. "Oh shit" She mumbled to herself "I think I have a crush."
