Brick opened the front door for us, I slipped past him.
"Sorry it's a bit of a mess. Uh, you guys can share the guest room, I guess." Brick said scratching the back of his head.
I giggle, "Brick, I don't care if it's a mess. Besides it always is so why do you care now?" I asked.
"I guess your right." he said.
Mitch came out and asked, "Hey, you alright." he asked me.
I nodded and he hugged me then he walked over to Buttercup. Buttercup came in and imedeatly started checking my arms, she brushed my bangs back and saw a cut that's been re-opened. That happened when I tripped up the stairs.
She sighed, "C'mon." she said then pushed me towards the bathroom.
Once the door was closed, "Take off your shirt." Buttercup instructed.
I did what she asked. "I didn't see that before." she said pointing at my chest and forearms.
"He scratched me when I was trying to get him off." I said shrugging.
"Yeah well they bleed." Buttercup said fustrated.
She got out the proxide and a small towel. I made a hissing noise when the proxide contscted my cuts.
"Sorry, Baby." she said.
After she was done cleaning my wounds she started putting everything back and I put my shirt back on.
"Baby, why don't you take a shower. Clear your mind a bit." she suggested.
"Yeah, okay. Can you get me my shampoo, conditioner and PJ's out of my bag?" I asked.
"Sure, Baby." she said then left.
I sighed and undressed. I left my underwear and bra on and looked at myself in the mirror. I saw most of it healed thanks to Chemical X but it didn't take away the scars. There was a knock on the door.
"Don't worry it's just me." Buttercup said coming in the bathroom and set my things on the counter along with a towel.
"Thanks." I said.
She nodded then left. I sighed and turned on the shower, and slipped off my underwear and bra and got in letting the warm water wash away my thoughts for 20 minutes.
After my shower I got dressed in clean undies, light blue sweatpants and a black tank top. I put my bra on underneath the tanktop beacuse even though I sleep braless, I don't want to be braless in front of the guys. 1 it would be totally weird and awkward, and 2 no. Just no. I walked out and gave my brush to Buttercup, she's sitting on the couch in a big T-Shirt that's probably Mitch's and grey sweatpants. I like it when she brushes my hair. Blossom used to brush my hair, I loved it. She would always hum while doing it, making me feel relaxed and content. She even put me to sleep once when I was 8. Buttercup took over her place when I was 14, when Blossom started to hate me. I sat down cross-legged on the floor in front of Buttercup, she un-crossed her legs and put them on either side of me then bent down to brush my hair.
"Um, can't you brush your own hair, sugar?" Butch asked me.
"Yes. But Buttercup gets the knots out better than I do and besides I like it when someone else brushes my hair." I said.
"Oh." he said.
Buttercup got distracted by Mitch and she pulled my hair. I grabed my hair and gasped in pain, then I frowned at her. I looked behind me and saw her lip-locking with Mitch my brush fell out of her hands and is now in the floor. I rolled my eyes at her and reached for my brush, but Brick picked it up before I could. I smiled up at him and happily sat between his legs on the floor of course. I giggled a little.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing. Just that I find it funny that you are brushing my hair. Because Blossom used to and your her counterpart, so would that mean she's brushing my hair too?" I asked making no sence, but I'm me, half the stuff I say doesn't make sence.
"Um... I guess." he said unsure.
"Yeah, sometimes she'd lose track of time brushing my hair. She loved to, she said in certain lights my hair looked like spun gold. Sometimes before bedtime, she'd hum to me while brushing it. She put me to sleep once. I don't know what it is but when she'd brush my hair I'd be relaxed and happy, Buttercup had to take her place though when Professor stared abusing me. When she started to hate me and I really don't know why." I said tearing up.
He stopped brushing it. "I just miss her, ya know?" I asked shakily due to I'm on the verge of crying.
He picked me up and sat me down on his lap. My legs over his side, I leaned my head on his shoulder and let some tears fall. He rubbed my back in soothing circles I calmed down and weakly smiled at him while I wiped away my tears.
"C'mon lets do something fun." Boomer said.
I smiled brightly at him, "What'd you have in mind, Boom?" I ask.
He smiles misceviously at me which makes me smile wider and tilt my head to the side in confustion. He grabs my hand and basically pulls me off Brick, I almost hit the floor face first but Boomer catches me. He drags me outside, his brothers following behind.
"First one to the high school and back wins." he said grining.
I smile at him. With Boomer being my counterpart he is also really fast, but I'm the fastest. He likes to challage me like this so he can be faster than me for once.
"You are so on." I said.
He smiled then took off. "Hey! No fair, you got a head start!" I yelled after him.
"Like you need a head start, blue." Butch yelled after me.
I laughed. I landed on the school roof in like 1 minute, I saw Boomer's light coming. I grined.
"Hey Boom, how the flight?" I ask giggling.
His face reddens with embarassment as he lands next to me.
"How'd you get here so fast?" he complained.
I shrugged, "I don't know. I just did." I said.
He frowns, "C'mon lets get back." I said. He nodded then took off, I followed soon after. I landed back at the house, Brick and Butch greated me with grins.
"That didn't take long." Brick said.
"It never does." Butch said.
"I don't know, I feel kind of bad. Maybe I should let him win." I said bitting my lip.
"Yeah! I was never here, got it." I said then flew up to a tree to hide in.
I saw them look at me shaking thier heads at me. I rolled my eyes at them then I saw Boomer coming.
He landed in front of his brothers, "Did I beat her?" I hear him ask.
Butch and Brick look at each other, "Yeah, Boomer, you beat her." Brick said.
"Yes, finally!" Boomer said excited.
I flew down slowly from my tree, Boomer was to busy doing his happy dance to notice. I cleared my throat, arms over my chest. He turns around with a huge smile on his face.
"I beat you." he said.
"Yeah, I guess you did." I said smiling.
He picked me up and spun me around, I freaked out again.
He put me down, "I thought I told you to never spin me again." I warned fighting down the vomit that's rising.
"Sorry, Bubbs, I forgot." he said sheepishly.
"Why do you hate spining so much? I remember you used to love it." Butch asked.
I sigh, now they know about Professor abusing me, should I tell them how he did? Yes, I can. I can trust them.
"Because, that was a torture method. You know those playground Merry-Go-Round, well he'd strap me to one and spin me for hours. Somehow he got one installed in the basement, he mounted it on the wall. I'd throw up, I'd get dizzy, he didn't care." I said.
They gulped. "Oh." they all said.
I shrugged. "Lets go bug Buttercup and Mitch." I said smiling and running back to the house.
After a few hours it reached 1am, I yawned. Boomer, Mitch and Buttercup went to bed already. Butch, Brick and I stayed up to watch some movie I have no idea the name of. We ended up turning in, we said good night and went to our rooms. I walked in the small guest room, there's only one bed and it's occupied by Buttercup and Mitch. I sigh close the door and go into Boomer's room because it's the closest. I tiptoed into the room and knelt down by a sleeping Boomer, I shake him a little.
"Hmm, what? What is it?" he asked looking at me sleepily.
Even in the dark you can tell his eyes are deep blue.
"C-Can I sleep with you?" I asked.
"Mmm... Hmmm." he said scooting over, pushing the blankets back for me.
I crawl in next to him, he snuggles up to me,and drapes and arm over my stomach pulling me close. I sigh and then let sleep take me.
