Hey everyone!
I'm so glad people like this! Again a little soppy this chapter, dedicate to the BLUES! I'm finding it such a enthralling and exhilarating challenge doing different POV's as many of you will know I mainly do the REDS, (More so Blossom) which might be the reason their chapters are a little longer but I am trying! :)
Also the song in the is by Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up, it was my main inspiration for this chapter so check it out! :)
Anyway on with the show!

Do you believe there's one person for everyone one? What happens if you get them and then they leave? Will you ever truly be happy again?
My heart was beating against my chest as I threw myself down the hallway stairs. I just had to catch up to her, how can I have been so utterly STUPID?
She wanted me! She wanted me and I turned my back on her, why was I so blind? Why was I so spineless not to follow my gut instinct? Guess life has a sick sadistic way of giving you a taste of what was ment to be then ripping is so viciously from your grasp. And then it's up to you to either fight for it, or take it lying down. And I was tired of being a coward.
"BUBBLES!" I yell flinging myself from the lobby and out into the cold night air. Drops of rain was lightly tapping against my forehead, ignoring them I looked up both sides of the street looking for a head a blonde hair. When I couldn't see her immediately my hope began to fade, but then I noticed a woman leaning against a building a few feet away her hair curtaining her face from the world.
I sigh and slowly made my way over to her as the rain got heavier. Her head was down and her small hands her clutching her already soaking top.
"Bubbles?"
Her head snapped up, her eyes filled with hurt.
"Go away" She muttered looking back down.
"Bubbles please listen to me" I beg walking to stand in front of her. Bubbles pulls her head up to meet my navy blue eyes. The rain making her hair stick to her face.
"Why? What's the point? You never cared, I was foolish to think so, stupid, idiotic, dumb!" She began spitting each word more viciously. I wince.
"No Bubbles! That was me! I was the fucking idiot, if I had grown a back bone and not been so worried about ruining our friendship then I would have said something!"
"You sure wasn't worried about ruining your friendship with Butch!" She yelled, anger gracing her pretty face, a extremely rare sight to see from Bubbles.
I was speechless and exactly that, her words cut straight through me. But at this moment in time she was more important, she always has been.
"Bubbles I am more sorry than you will ever know, what more can I say?" I plead, the broken man in me bleeding out, she looks away with an angry expression.
"Nothing" She whispers.
"What?"
"Nothing you can't say anything!" She yells again and begins walking away, but I'm not ready to loose her as well. More than anything, I grab her wrist and stop her. Her body stiffens but she doesn't turn around, her words on replay in my head 'you can't say anything, you can't say anything'
Maybe that's just it, I need her to listen to me without telling her, and that's when I got an idea.
"Bubbles if your not going to listen to me talk to you, just follow me and I'll show you how much you mean to me"
She doesn't respond, she's like stone.
"Please" I whisper, and Bubbles being Bubbles her forgiving and kind nature always overpowers her and wordlessly she allows me to escort her away.
We enter my apartment and I rush over to my instruments.
"Please sit" I say, motioning her to the couch where she always sits during our band practices. Her face still held a scowl of distrust and uncertainty and slowly she sits and the very edge of the couch not wanting to be here long, I best hurry.
"This is a song I've been working on" Is all I say as I picked up my guitar and began.
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
I see Bubbles eyes soften slightly, as I try to express how truly sorry I am and how much she really means to me.
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
The chorus ment the most and her lips parted.
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
Surprisingly my lyrics matched up to her situation of leaving to Garsdale. I would wait for her now and forever no matter how long it will be. She seems to click to the double meaning of the lyrics and she takes a big breath all of her face melting.
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am
Tears welled in her beautiful crystal blue eyes.
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up
I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough, he knows
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up-
Before I could fully finish the song, her lips crashed to mine. My thoughts jumbled and instinctively I curved my arms around her waist with the restriction of my guitar. She pulled back tears running down her eyes.
"Your such an idiot" She splutters a small smile on her lips. I put my guitar down and pulled her closer.
"I know, I'm so sorry Bubbles I promise I will never hurt you ever again" I say so sincerely.
"Good" She smiles and kisses me on the lips once more my mind going to mush. I could get used to this.
The sunlight hit my eyes and it streamed through my curtain, I was on my stomach and my limbs where stiff. I shifted slightly and cracked my eyes open expecting to see the blinding sun, however what I wasn't expecting was a mass on blonde waves bundled in front of my face. I lifted my head and looked down on a literal sleeping beauty.
My eyes widened further as I slowly lifted the sheets up and to my slight dismay saw that we where still fully clothed from the night before. Hmm we must have fallen asleep while watching tv.
Suddenly Bubbles began to stir and I braced myself for a reaction. Fury? Embarrassment? Anger?
She flipped over and snuggled down when her senses must have registered that she wasn't in her own bed, her light blue eyes slowly open and gazed up towards me. I held my breath.
"Hi" She sigh sleepily a soft smile resting on her face. I instantly relaxed.
"Hey" I smiled, stroking her face she smiled into my touch. "Or should I say good morning?" I grin she let out a small laugh.
"I suppose you could" She began to stretch then stopped halfway.
"Wait what time is it?" She said, eyes wide.
"Uhhh" I fumbled round looking for my god damn alarm clock, which I found on the floor. "11:15am"
"SHIT! I'm late for work!" She practically leapt out of bed fumbling with her things, I watched her in a blonde and blue blur.
"Bubbles! Calm down! It's Sunday!" I yell, knowing she didn't open her cafe Sundays she flopped onto the bed.
"Oh thank goodness!" She said closing her eyes happily. Hmm on the subject of her cafe...
"So Bubbles... When you said about leaving to Garsdale.. you weren't serious where you?" I asked uncertainly I don't think my brain would be able to handle any more drama. She kept her eyes closed and slowly began to chew her bottom lip. Uh Oh.
"Well..." She slowly opened her eyes. "I- I don't know" Was all she said.
"Why?" I pressed.
"Situations" Another short answer, I opened my mouth but she beat me too it.
"I'm not sure of anything right now, it's going to take some serious thinking all I know is at the moment I'm not saying yes but I'm not saying no"
Well then I guess it was up to me to convince her.
"Oh! I promised Blossom I'd help her shop for the baby today" She said returning to her chirpy self and heading for the door.
"You coming?" She asked seeing that I hadn't moved an inch.
"Ahh I don't think that's the best idea" I say uncertainly.
"Look the further you isolate yourself he harder things are going to be"
I still don't move, she walks over to me and sits down.
"I forgive you, it will take a little longer for Butch but he will in time if you show him how sorry you are like you did for me"
"You want me to serenade him too?" I say sarcastically, she giggled.
"No but you know what I mean, come on I'll be with you" She smiles slipping her hand into mine.
"Okay"
