Chapter 13:
No Ones POV:
The boys couldn't comprehend to what the girls had just said. The girls took them to their hide out, hesitantly. They were scared out of their minds, since they believed Katy with their lives they gave in and scarified. The girls showed them around. Since the boys were with the girls, their pets didn't bark or growl at them.
"This is where the four of us sleep." Blossom says pointing to the sheets and the ruff ground.
"Over there near the pond, is where we wash up, take showers." Buttercup informs the boys.
"Doesn't anyone see you guys?" Butch asked Buttercup.
"No, no ones comes this deep in to the park. They are afraid of getting lost and losing their pathway." Buttercup replied to Butch.
"How long have you been here?" Brick asks.
"Four years now." Bubbles says with sorrowful eyes.
"Don't you gives have a family, cousins, relatives parents?" Boomer asked.
"We don't wanna talk about our parents at all. We consider ourselves orphans and none of us are going back there." Bunny says to the boys and they had more questions arising in their minds. The answers they got, created more questions and curiosity in their minds.
Blossom told Blaze to lay Bunny down since she was still sick, but he refused.
"You guys can't live like this." Blaze says to Blossom and her sisters.
"We have no choice Blaze. It's either we live here or suffocate out there." Blossom says.
"It's not our choice to live like this, but my sisters and I cannot afford a home or pay monthly rent. The money we make at work is to by food and necessary supplies to survive in this wilderness." Buttercup says.
"It really doesn't matter. We have NO choice but to live here. We still wouldn't have showed you were we lived. We only did it because Katy trusted you and she is like a mother to us." Bubbles says, while Boomer hugs her.
"Where are your parents?" Boomer asks.
"We don't wanna talk about it, and please don't bring it up. Please. You have already seen and heard enough. More and any body else at school has." Bunny pleaded, still being held by Blaze in his arms.
The boys could hear sadness, hatred and madness in her voice. They wondered what happened with their relationship with their parents. What caused this massive alteration? The boys were quiet, nonetheless speechless. They had no idea what to say to the girls. They had no clue that their lives would be this stressful and lonely. Each boy hugged one of the girls, to show how sorry they feel for them.
"We are so sorry." Boomer says hugging Bubbles tightly.
"Don't be. It wasn't you or your brothers that left us no choice but t live on the curb." Bubbles say enduring Boomers hug. The Boys released the girls from their embrace.
"Girls give us a minute, the boys and I need to talk." Brick says, gathering his brothers and taking them aside. Blaze gently puts down Bunny taking of his black hoodie with purple letters that say 'Cool Guy' and puts it over Bunny because he noticed that she was shaking. Surprisingly, it was warm and Bunny felt warm and relaxed with Blazes hoodie over her. It covered her body above her waist.
Meanwhile the boys were having an important conversation.
"Guys I think we should take the girls home with us." Brick says, in a low voice so his brothers could hear, and not the girls even though if there was a bit of a distance between them.
"Do you think they would agree?" Boomer asked.
"I don't know, but it is worth a shot." Brick replies to his younger brother.
"Yeah Brick, they can't live like this forever." Boomer says with his voice sad and concerned.
"I could call home and inform mom and dad, and let them know about the situation." Butch says.
"I'll call Mason and inform him to get two or four rooms ready for the girls. Depending on if they would want to sleep in pairs or separately." Boomer says.
"Alright you two do that, me and Blaze will go and talk to the girls about this." Brick says and the girls nod.
Buttercup POV:
I wonder what the boys where talking about over there. I was stroking Bunny's hair with her head on my lap. Blossom and Bubbles were gathered around us.
"I wonder what they are talking about over there?" I say, being curious.
"I don't know, but it sounds serious the way they are huddled in a circle and talking in a low voice." Blossom says.
"They better not be talking about exposing our secret or I'll beat them to death. We have faced enough humiliation as it is of now." Bunny says in a threating voice.
Blossom, Bubbles and I giggle.
Soon after we looked after at the boys and noticed Blaze and Brick walking over to us, while Butch and Boomer where on the phone talking to someone. I wonder whom?
"What's wrong?" Blossom asks Brick.
"You girls are gonna move in with us. My family." He says. My sisters and I were shocked, with our mouths open.
"We can't, did you even try asking us first to see if we wanted to even?" Bunny says with anger. Then holds her head. I guess her anger gave her a headache.
"If we asked you, we knew you would have rejected." Blaze says, eyeing Bunny. She still holds her head in her hands. I guess her headache was bad.
"Bunny do not yell." I say to her strictly.
"Brick don't. We are fine with staying here." Blossom says to Brick reassuring him.
"No you are not Blossom. If you were fine Bunny would not have gotten sick and Ms. Katy would not have told you to tell us." Brick says her.
"But still we can't. Besides you are not even so sure if your parents would agree to this. You guys have yourselves to take care of." Blossom says to Brick while looking down at the ground.
Brick came down to his knees and came I eye level with Blossom. He took his fingers and tilled her chin making her look at her.
"Blossom if my family and I were not able to afford, then I would not be here giving you this offer. You need help, and deep down you know it. My parents are being well informed about this, and without any doubt they would love to help you." He says to my sister looking at her start in the eye.
"Brick even if we do agree to go with you, won't your brothers, your family and your privacy be disturbed?" Blossom says to Brick. I could see that this conversation was intense. Brick smirked.
"Don't worry Bloss, we live in a mansion. So you can imagine that we won't be bothered." Blaze answered and with that our mouth dropped. Again.
"Let me talk it over with my sisters and let you know it a few moments." She says to Brick walks off with Blaze. Blossom turns to us.
"Blossom we can't. We don't even know them properly. Remember what dad did us after mom died." Bunny says with her somewhat energy.
"She is right Bloss, how do you we can trust them? What if their parents do the same thing with us? Not everything is sparkly and gloomy in our lives." I say to her.
"Guys, I know this may not be the best thing, but look at Bunny. Look at us. We may not need this let's give it a try. They have helped us before without us even asking them. In addition, if anyone in the family does something abusive or manipulative to us, we come back here without informing. " Blossom says, and I could see her point, but still.
"Remember, your bike ride with Boomer Bubbles? You said that you had fun. Blaze was kind to pay for food Bunny." She continues, and I was feeling a little bit of the positive sensation.
"Yeah… but I still don't know Bloss." Bubbles says with hesitant in her voice.
"Same here Blossom, having one good day doesn't change anything or bring up anything." Bunny says looking down with tears in her eyes, but they weren't falling down her checks. I knew exactly what she was pointing out to.
God man I wanna kill that guy so badly after what they put my young sisters through mentally angry.
"Plus… we may have to sleep with them in their rooms." I say with even more aggression.
"Ok how about this… we go with but tell them to give us 2 bedrooms. Bunny and Bubbles in one room; you and me in the other?" Blossom says to us, and it sounded like a good preposition.
"Alright. I will do it." I say to her.
"If you are up for it BC then count me in." Bunny says.
"Well as long as we stay together, I am up for it." Bubbles says.
"Ok then that's settled. Come BC let's go tell the guys are decision." Blossom says to me. Bunny lifts her head up slowly and me and Blossom head over to Brick and his brothers.
Butch POV:
I finished talking on the phone with mom and dad they agreed on letting the girls stay. Boomer finished talking to Mason and says he is getting the rooms ready and will be sending a car shortly. We tell brick that they agreed and are getting everything ready at the house. Then we noticed Blossom and Buttercup walking to us.
"Brick my sisters and I will take your offer." Blossom says to Brick. Brick smiles
"Ok good."
"But on one condition we will go." Buttercup says to us in a sternly voice.
"What is it?" I ask her
" We get two separate bedrooms for my sisters and I. One for me and Bloss; one for Bubbles and Bunny." She says to us.
"Deal." I say to her. They smile had head back to their sisters and my brothers and I were right behind them.
"Ok you should start packing up your things, our parents will be sending a car shortly. We will help you so it would be done faster." Brick says to them.
"Ok." Blossom says
"One of my brothers will help each one of your sisters. Butch you go and help BC." Brick orders me.
"Sure man." I say to him.
"Blaze help Bunny pack." Brick says to Blaze.
"No prob bro." Blaze says with a salute.
"Boomer go and help Bubbles pack her things." Brick instructs Boomer.
"Alright." Boomer says.
"And I will help you bloss." Brick says to her.
"Ok Brick." Blossom replies to Brick.
I was walking behind Buttercup so she could take me to her spot, so I could help her pack her belongings. Surprising, there weren't many clothes so she packs them, and puts them into her gym bag. I guess they did not have suitcases. I head over to her books and pack all her school accessories, supplies, papers, books. I noticed she had many sport balls. There was a soccer ball, basketball, tennis ball. I guess she loved sports. I saw Rocky having walking back and fro between me and Buttercup.
"I take it that you love sports." I say to her with my back towards her.
"Yeah, I have a passion for sports." She says to me. I turned around and smile.
"Don't you dare make fun of it or I will beat the crap out of you." She says with a threatening voice.
"Chill out BC, I was not gonna make fun of you. I think it is pretty cool." I say to her. I look at her and she was shocked at first smiled afterwards.
"Ok, wanna see something I can do with the soccer ball." She asks me and I nod yes. She walks over to me picks up the soccer ball and does some cool tricks with it. she was able to knee-ups, around the world and some others. Man this girl was good.
"That was amazing BC." I say
"Thanks. Now you give it a shot." She says to me and I accepted.
I did some awesome tricks with it as well. I loved sports as well, and I play with my brothers every time I have free time.
"Wow you are good to." She says to me, and give the ball back and she put it in her Gym bag. She took a photo frame of her sisters and packed it in her bag. At that moment, I realized that it was full and mine wasn't. So took packed everything else in my school bag since my gym bag was full. The only things we left were a study lamp, pet food, and dishes. They must really care about their dogs. Before leaving she took a photo frame of her and her sisters smiling. I wonder where are pictures of their parents.
"Do you have a family photo" I ask he while she stares at the photo.
"This is my family photo." She replies.
"I meant…a photo with your mom… and dad." I uneasily say.
"I threw those, burned them, or ripped them. Only kept my mothers and sisters pictures." She says not looking at me and putting the photo in her bag.
What was their relationship with their father like I mentally inquired.
"Let's go meet up with the others." I say to her and she nods yes.
"Cool. Let's go." she says and we both head out of the hide out. Rocky was walking in front of us with his tail wagging in excitement, with a tennis ball in his mouth.
Blaze POV:
I was helping Bunny with her packing. Bunny told me she was feeling better than this morning. She was walking a bit better and her face was not as red either so I guess she was feeling a little better. She was giving me my Hoodie back I told her to keep it on. Besides I thought she kinda looked cute in it. Spike was walking around us. She was packing her clothes and storing it in her gym bag. I walked over to her study area, and started to back her, artwork, some novels that she had, Jewlery, and I noticed something. She had a collection of hats.
How come she hasn't wore one yet…
Most of them here purple but there were others colors as well such as pink, green, blue, cyan, magenta and others. Some were fancy, winter hats, double colored, single colored hats. I guess she loved to wear hats, but how come she hasn't worn one yet? I was curious at that thought.
"I am guessing you love to wear hats." I say to her and she turns around.
"Yes I do." She says. Man Bunny is really straightforward I thought. She was looking intensely at the purple hat that said 'Purple' in bold white letters.
"Does this hat bring you memories?" I say to her.
She giggles and says "Yes it does. Unforgettable memories that I will be stuck in my head." Bunny says formally. I didn't know what to make of that. She says it honestly, but I saw her facial expressions saying something else.
Were they not good memories? Where they bad memories? What are those memories? I thought, desiring to know.
I start to pack her hats and other things, however for some reason Bunny took the hat she was staring at intensely, and packed it in her school bag. She also took the photo frame of her and her sisters hugging, and placed it in her bag. Soon both of our bags were full.
Doesn't she have of parent of her and her sister with their parents. What was the family feud?
"Let's go, the others are waiting." She says to me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah let's get going." I say to her, while she places her bag on one of her shoulders. Spike follows us out, and now is walking beside me with his toy bone in his mouth.
Brick POV:
I was helping Blossom packing her stuff. Rex was near Blossom, and he was sitting beside her. She went t the spot to pack her clothes and told me to wait here on the left side. I guess she didn't want me near her clothes. I walk over to her study session, which was not much of session. There wasn't a table or a chair. I guess she worked on the ground. I walked over to her books and started to back her books, poems, papers, some accessories, supplies, soap, shampoo and other things. I saw that Blossom had some William Shakespeare plays. There was Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Those must be her favorite ones.
"You must like reading Shakespeare. Huh." I say to her while staring at the plays.
"Yeah… Buttercup bought them for me for my birthday. Bunny got me Hamlet, Bubbles got me Romeo and Juliet and Buttercup got me Macbeth." Blossom says with a bright smile. I look up at her.
"What did your parents get you?" I ask her
"Don't wanna know. Don't care. Not after what they did to us, especially with Bunny and Bubbles." She says with hatred, anger and sorrow.
What happened that caused them this much hatred towards their parents? What did they do to Bunny and Bubbles…
Looking down at the book. "I guess you like to read a lot." I say to her.
"I don't like to read Brick I LOVE to read." She says to me, emphasizing on the word love. She goes back to packing her clothes and I finish packing her other things. I look back to Blossom and she was taking a picture frame that had her and her sister smiling with their arms around each other. She gently stored it in her school bag.
Why doesn't she have a fully family photo? Was their hatred towards their parents this bad…
"Come on, let's go others are waiting." I say to her, and she nods yes.
We both head out of the hide-out, with Rex walking in front of us with his toy tick in his mouth.
Boomer POV:
I was helping Bubbles pack her things. We were nearly done. Patch was walking back fro between Bubbles and me. She was on the other side packing her clothes, and she told me to pack her other things. I guess she didn't feel comfortable me packing her clothes. So I was packing her art supplies, pencil crayons, crayons, construction paper booklet, sketchbook, and her jewelry. I saw a jar filled with origami creations.
"You like doing origami?" I ask her turning towards her. She turns and faces me.
"Yes I do a lot of it, but paper is limited with us." She says to me.
"Who taught it to you?" I ask her
"My mom did when I was young." She says in sadness.
What happened to her and them all…
I gently place it in my school bag. I looked over at Bubbles and she was done her packing as well. I saw her pick up a photo frame of her and her sisters laughing and playing, and carefully put it in her school bag. Our bags were full.
Doesn't she have a full family picture? What could have gone so horribly wrong…
"Let's go." I say to her with a warm smile to regain her attention.
"Okay Boomer." She says with a smile and we leave. Patch was running around us with joy, with a Frisbee in his mouth.
No ones POV:
Everyone was ready to leave and the car arrived shortly. It was a black and white Mustang. The driver stepped put of the driver seat and approached the teenagers.
"Danny, take these home and get Linda and Mary unpack and set it in the girls room." Brick ordered
"Yes sir." Danny says and grabs their things and places it in the trunk. He goes in side the hide out with Blaze grabs the other things that belonged to the girls. The car was full with the girls stuff.
"Go home and do what we asked." Butch says, and Danny obeys. With that he takes off.
"Alright know you girls ride with us." Blaze says with a devilish smirk across his face.
"What do you mean?" Bunny asked with a shaky voice. The boys and girls head back to the school's parking lot and stop near the motorbikes. The girls realized what they meant.
They boys got on their bikes and started the engine. Bubbles got on Boomer's bike but was not hesitant since she had already rode it with him before. But her sisters were uneasy.
"Well get on Butterbabe." Butch says to Buttercup, and turns red at the nickname.
"Don't call me Butterbabe, and secondly I don't even know how to sit on a bike." Buttercup says looking anywhere but Butch.
"Just sit how Bubbles is seated on Boomer's bike." He says to her.
"I don't know." She says to him.
"Are you scared BC?" Butch says teasingly.
"AM NOT!" Buttercup defended herself loudly.
"Prove it!" Butch says to her and she gets on his bike, holding on to his shirt.
Blossom and Bunny looked at each other before getting on Brick and Blaze's Bikes.
The boys took off and the girls held on tightly because they felt the boys were going too fast.
Bunny was so scared that she hugged on to Blaze's waist and hid her head in his back. Blaze had noticed it and slowed down just a little but still was in the speed limit range. Bunny calm down a little bit. When Blaze made sharp turn, she screamed.
"AHH!" Bunny screamed.
"You okay Bunny?" Blaze asked her with his eyes on the road.
"Yea. I'm fine. Just the sharp turn freaked me out. And would you slow down, I haven't exactly ridden on bike before so I just got a little scared. " She says and Blaze chuckled.
"Don't be, just enjoy the wind blowing on your face." He says to her and Bunny actually started to enjoy the ride more from that point on.
Blossom was holding on to her dear life because to her, Brick was riding way too fast. She was hugging him from behind with her head hidden on his back. Brick notices this and chuckles while keeping his eyes on the road.
"Blossom, are you okay?" Brick asks her while keeping his eyes on the road.
"NO! This is my first time riding on a motorbike. I am just a little scared. AND YOU ARE GOING WAY TO FAST!" She yells to Brick.
" Sorry babe but that is the speed limit, and don't be scared. Close your eyes, lift up your head, and feel the wind blowing on you." He says to her. Blossom does that feel a lot more calm and happy.
Buttercup was scared at first but eventually started to enjoy the ride. Bubbles was already have fun riding with Boomer. After fifteen minutes the girls arrived at the destination. They saw a mansion that had three floors, with a pool in the backyard, and huge front lawn with different flowers with different colors. They were amazed with what they saw. The boys came in and parked their bikes in the driveway, making sure it does not block their parent's car. Julian had a white Ferrari and Sophie had a grey Toyota.
"This is your house." Blossom asked being surprised. The boys nodded and took the girls inside their mansion.
