Chapter, um, seven? (i lost count)
Early the next morning the girls got up to get ready for school. The Professor didn't strongly encourage this, missing for two days then just showing up right at school. He urged them to take the day off; he still didn't have the slightest idea of where they have been. Regardless, the girls want nothing more than get their minds off the last two days, even if it meant enduring school and the mountain of questions and homework that waited for their return.
Buttercup's displeasure was thoroughly shown on her face and posture. With dark shadows under her eyes and grumpiness emitting through her she followed her sisters to school.
Bubbles had been oddly quiet on the walk, while Bubbles and Blossom casually discussed anything except the last two days.
Most of the time they were all awkwardly quiet as they walked, wondering to themselves and the last two days; unsure of what was taboo. Blossom and Bubbles were better at acting more active than the turmoil that was churning inside them.
"Do either of you hear something?" Blossom inquired. Both Bubbles and Buttercup shrugged and shook their heads. A slightly suspisous look still crossed her face. Time moved on as they continued in most quiet….
"Hey, Blossom?" Bubbles hesitated to ask. Blossom's attention slowly turned towards her other sister.
"Um, I was wondering, that, if you,." Bubbles mumbled. Impatience started to ware at Blossom like a soon coming exhaustion.
Bubbles looked down in near defeat under the weight of the unexamined question in her mind that has yet to be revealed.
"About, yesterday, with your kiss.." Blossom was struck cold in her steps, a cold expression slashing her face hard. Her two sisters turned to her, Bubbles trying to strike as innocent as possible, knowing that she went too far.
After the longest moment imaginable Buttercup and Bubbles were starting to worry if their sister was still breathing. Blossom's face was turning pale, and not moved an inch from her spot. Suddenly, ferocity tore from Blossom like a broken dam.
"ITWASN'
THATONMEAGAINHE'," Her face became flushed from her silence-shattering outburst and continued to rant on half-recognizable words.
With a enraged gusto, Blossom stomped her way forward leaving her sisters behind. Until a few moments ago she had a pretty good hold on keeping those thoughts out of her head.
She even hoped that if she just kept her mind occupied and away from such thoughts they would be nothing more in her brain then a small dream on uneventful nothings. When Bubbles and Buttercup caught up they instinctively put their heads and eyes down with guilt as they walked the rest of the way to school.
…
As soon as they stepped through the front door; a bombardment of questions slammed against them from other students. Full of worries, concerns, and others just wanting to know what the latest news was. It took three teachers to reign in the students in before continuous bickering was held at a stand by.
The three girls were still in a sour mood through out their classes. At some point one would try to pay attention, only to be focusing on thoughts which should stay away.
After school, they would occasionally still here the basic 'Are you ok?' or the simple, uncaring 'What happened?' and so on. None of the three girls said a word to any of them, not even each other. They gathered in front of the school if nothing more than a pure habit.
Together they stood, immersing themselves in the random people walking by, ignorant and diverse.
Subconsciously, Blossom's stare led her to a tree where she first saw him. The branches rustled with the unsteady breeze. Her gaze lingered at the empty tree as her sisters gathered their senses and started walking towards home.
Buttercup nudged Blossom away from her staring contest with the tree and began to walk together.
While Blossom's thoughts remained to the tree her sisters slowly gained lead.
"Do you hear something?" Blossom asked, breaking the awkward silence. Neither of her sisters heard anything out of the ordinary, so they shook their heads in modest confusion.
"Go on ahead, I'll meet you there." Blossom absent-mindedly said. Buttercup and Bubbles were reluctant to leave their sister behind, both knowing that she was in more muddled confusion than either of them.
Blossom shot a meaningful gaze at both of them before they started to walk without her. Blossom lifted her head, trying to let the wind sweep her thoughts with the air that tangled her hair.
A slight nudge crossed her shoulder, so she instinctively turned her head behind her. A panic stricken expression slashed her face as she gazed upon the red eyes of her tormentor.
His hand gripped her wrists, pinning her to a wall of a building. All at once her senses and power drained as they were inches from each others faces. Brick pressed his body against her, and then took her lips in a kiss. Blossom couldn't breath, she wasn't in her own body. His lips left lingering warmth on her mouth when he pulled away, fully taking in the pleasure that he had stolen for his own.
Blossom blinked hard and shook her head with a fleeting amount of strength. When she opened her eyes, he was gone from sight but not from mind. Now she was left there, feeling more alone than ever…

'sorry it took so long, I really meant for it to go up quicker. I don't have a lot of time so I might have changed this chapter to be better. My flash drive got lost when I was 75% done so I had to rewrite it as this' (thank you to the last person who reviewed on the last chapter whose name escapes me) :3 read and review!
