Disclaimer: I do not own the Powerpuff Girls. I only own the story because I made that up with my brain. Enjoy :p

Buttercup's P.O.V

I flew home as quickly as I could. I found Bubbles in her window seat curled up in a ball. Her window was left open so I just entered her room. I sat down next to her and touched her knee, she looked up and smiled weekly.

"Hey baby, I'm home." I whispered.

She whimpered but then just through her arms aroud me for a hug, I held her close and rubbed her back in a soothing manner as she sobbed on my shoulder. In the corner of my eye I saw flshes of dark green, dark blue and red signaling the boys followed me. I sigh in annoyance.

Bubbles realeased her arms form me, "What is it, BC?" she asks.

I don't even have to answer her because the boys come flying in, well more like crashing in. I guess they were going too fast to realize that we were sitting on the window seat. Despite everything, Bubbles laughed.

"Nice landing, guys." she said in between giggles.

Boomer moved over too her and held his hand out to help her up.

"Thanks, Boomie." she said as he got her on her feet.

"No prob." he said.

"Bubbles, what the hell happened." Brick said firmly.

I saw her flinch a little in his tone of voice.

"N-Nothin-" she said in a small voice but Brick cut her off.

"Bull shit!" he yelled then pulled her close and moved her sleve up and underneath was a swollen bruise that had dried blood on it and he moves her bangs to the side to reveal a cut on her forehead.

"Explain this does not look like 'nothing' to me." he said in a soft yet firm voice.

She started to cry, "I know." she said quietly then Brick hugged her tight and she hugged back as she cried on his shirt.

"Look guys, I promise to explain everything later. But for now I have to get her out of this god forsaken house." I said walking over to her and Brick.

"Where did you plan on going?" Boomer asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know. I figured we'd crash at Mitch's." I said.

The boys shared a look, and nodded. I must have a 'WTH!' look on my face because I have no idea what silent communication they were having.

"You can crash at our place for the night and tomorrow moring we can figure something out." Butch said.

"Are you sure? I- I don't want to be a burden to you." Bubbles said in a small voice realeasing Brick.

"It's no burden, Bubbles." Butch said.

"O-Okay, thank you." she said.

I sighed, "Alright, I guess we have to pack for a couple days. Need help, baby?" I asked her.

She shook her head and offered a week smile, "No, I'm fine. You go on ahead." she said.

I nodded, "Okay." then I hugged her, kissed her forehead a tear escaping and left.

End of Buttercup's P.O.V

Butch and Brick left after Buttercup and Boomer stayed to help me.

"You know you don't have to help, I perfectly capable of packing a duffel bag on my own." I said getting my baby blue duffel bag that I use for gymnastics, and throwing it on my bed, next to Boomer's leg.

He decided to help himself on my bed, but I don't mind. "I'm not helping, I'm supervising. C'mon do you not see me up and ready to raid your clothes to shove them in a bag." he said with a playful smirk forming. I giggled.

"But then again, I've always wanted to see your underwear." he said deviously, I gasped and smacked his leg, "Boomer! You perv!" I yelled.

He only laughed. I folded my clothes as I put them in the bag. I packed 3 complete outfits and my hair and other accesories, deoderant, hair brush and tooth brush, a pair of my tan boots, a pair of my black stilletos boots, my vanilla twilight pefume, and my strawberry smelling shampoo and conditioner.

I zipped it up, "All done." I said then plopped on my bed next to Boomer.

I layed on my side, scooted over to him and laid my head down on his chest, one arm under my head, the other drapped across his stomach.

"Thanks for letting me stay with you, I just can't stay here anymore." I said my voice muffled in his shirt.

He removed and arm from under his head and put it around me then sqeezed my shoulder in comfort.

"No prob, blue." he said, I made a content 'hmm' sound and closed my eyes.

"Hey, Bea." Boomer said.

"Yeah?" I said.

He hesitated, "Boomer, what is it?" I asked worried it might be something bad otherwise he wouldn't hesitate like this.

"Why didn't you tell me, tell us, what your dad was doing to you?" he asked.

I stiffened. "It wasn't your problem, I didn't see the need to inform you." I said.

"Not my problem?! Any problem you have is a problem I have, don't you know that by now. I love you, Bea. I don't want anything to happen to you." I sighed, I knew this woud happen.

"I know, I know. But I didn't want you to be worried about me, I'd feel bad if I took away your time. I'm sure you have better things to do than worry about me. And I love you too, Boom but can't you see that I'm fine now and that's all that matters." I love him of course I do, he's like the brother I've always wanted.

"What things did he do to you?" he asked.

I stiffened and got up. "Why do you want to know?" I asked a cold firmness in my voice.

"I'm just curious, Bea." he said.

I sighed and looked to the celing. "That's a topic for another day."

I snapped my head to the door, I heard yelling coming from Buttercup's room. I looked at Boomer a questionable look on both our faces then we got up and ran to Buttercup's room.

Buttercup's P.O.V

I yanked and duffel bag from my closet, fighting off my pissed off tears. Butch and Brick followed me.

"What!" I yelled.

Butch only shook his head.

"How could you? How could you let this happen to her!" Brick yelled at me.

"I didn't let it happen! I-It just did!" I yelled back shoving clothes in the duffel bag.

"Of course you let this happen! And what's worse is that you knew about it and did nothing to help her! Your no better than Blossom!" Brick screamed at me.

"At least I didn't watch it! She did. And what's sick is that she enjoyed watching her fall into unconciousness. I was the one who nursed her wounds for years. Held her when she cried. Listening to her tell me all the sick ass stuff our father has done to her. Watched her as she struggled to have a reason to live, so don't you dare. Don't you dare acuse me of being Blossom! I am nothing like that cold-hearted bitch!" I yelled at him.

"Your right, your nothing like her. Your worse. You were never here when it was happening. You got away from it because you couldn't deal, so yeah. You did let this happen. How could you be so selfish? She needed you to stop it and you weren't there to stop it. You were hanging with us or Mitch or who the hell knows rather than being at home to stop him form hurting her. You are such a selfish bitch!" he yelled the last part.

"Your an ass! You don't even know the whole story! So stop making me feel like a pile of shit because that's how I always felt since it started when she was 14. Do you not think I know I could have gone to someone else for help? I could have stopped it, I could have done a number of things but I didn't because she didn't want anyone to know. I was only keeping my promise to her! To never tell no matter how much I want to. You wonder why she didn't want to tell you?! Well why don't you just go talk to her and she'll tell you why. So think again before you start yelling at me and telling me things I already know!" I said firmly and still fightingstupid tears.

"Buttercup! Is everything alright? I heard yelling, what happened?" I heard Bubbles soft voice from behind Brick, she was kind of breathless because I think she ran here.

"Yeah, baby I'm fine." I said shoving in the last of my things and zipping it up.

"You don't look fine." Boomer said, I shot him a death glare so did Bubbles.

She came over to me and spread her arms open wide with a small smile. I sniffed and laughed a bit and hugged her.

"Hugs always make me feel better." she said.

"I know they do." I said.

"Do you feel better now?" she asked me.

I nodded, "Yeah, I do. Thanks, baby." I said.

End of Buttercup's P.O.V

We all went back to my room, all ready to go.

"You ready, Bubbly?" Butch asked.

I sighed and nodded, and we took off but I stopped remembering I forgot something. I flew back into my room and grabbed my beloved Octi from my bed, he was in between 2 pillows.

Boomer laughs, "Couldn't forget him could you?" he asked.

"No way." I said. Then we flew to to boys's house.
