BOSTON STRONG
A/N: Sorry I didn't update last week, it was pretty crazy in my house. This week I was super stressed too, but hopefully this chapter will still be good though. Also, another reason this chapter was delayed is because MY COMPUTER WAS BROKEN, and STILL IS so other updates might also be delayed.
Disclaimer: I own Ray, Xavier, Chris, Andrew, and Sabrina's 'Past' that's it. The rest of the rights go to Michael Buckley, and whoever created the 'John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt' song.
Recap:
Ray turns to me and smiles, she and Daphne both can read me like a book, but no one else can seem figure me out like they do. "I'm glad your finally happy Twenty."
I smile back, "Me too."
The Past's Not Always in the Past Chapter 12
Sabrina's POV
"So does Chris know about magic?" Distain can clearly be heard as I say this. I sure hope she doesn't… because for me, that's crossing a line; I wouldn't be able to forgive whoever told Chris about magic.
"No, no she doesn't. I felt it wasn't my place to tell her even if I really wanted to, which I didn't. I'm not really connected to magic after all, so I didn't really think it should be my decision to tell another 'human' about it or not."
"Yeah I get it. And thanks for not telling her… but I honestly don't understand why you're so friendly with her in the first place, let alone brought her here. You know what she did to me." I say the second part with a harsh tone.
"Yes I know what she did. And I know what you did. Good people deserve to be forgiven." She returns
"And how do you she's a good person!" I say raising my voice.
"I know her just as well as I know you, you've both dealt with problems you shouldn't have at young ages." She says keeping calm since she has seen my temper before.
"If you know me so well, then you should have known it would have been best for you to stay away." She looks at me with a hurt expression.
"I knew it." She said, "I knew it but I hoped… I knew that you weren't looking for me, but me… I was looking for you since Smirt took you away. I needed to know you were safe and happy… I just wanted to find you… so you, Princess, Schmidty, Xavier, John, and I could be a family again. I got so obsessed that that's all I thought about, I became sleep deprived and not having you near pushed me to the edge of insanity, that's why John told me. John told me where you were and about magic so I wouldn't go past the edge, so I would come back to the real world."
And just like that Ray made me feel worse than ever, with those few words… worse than when Daphne gave me the cold shoulder when I betrayed her. Worse than when I thought our parents hated us, were embarrassed by us, were disappointed by us, and abandoned us. I felt worse that when I thought I drove my parents away. I felt worse than I have ever felt getting an injury in the war or in my whole life. The only thing I have ever felt that was worse was the feeling of losing all those people I fought side by side with in the war, nothing will ever be able to surpass the feeling of losing someone and knowing you will never get them back.
And everything Ray said was right, I am so selfish and I am a coward. I've thought about all my friends in New York everyday since Smirt took me away, but never once did I look for them. Never once did I rhyme a question to Mirror to see how Ray was doing, because I was a coward. I was scared she had moved on from me. I was scared she was in horrible shape. I was scared to go back to the place I only saw in memories and nightmares. I was scared.
I was selfish, I had everything I wanted, and didn't even check up on Ray. I had my family and new friends… so who needs old ones? I am disgusted with myself. I am a horrible human being.
I had the war taking up a lot of my time over the past two years… but I also had so much free time now that I think about it… I could have been seeing if Ray was okay or not. But I didn't because I am selfish and a coward, I am a selfish coward… Something I once said I would never be.
Puck's POV
Once Grimm went inside I ran to catch up with that kid she punched and find out what happened with him. "Hey kid wait up!" I yell and run up to him. He just ignores me as I walk next to him. "What happened with you and Grimm back there? Why'd she punch you…? She usually only punches me…"
"Twenty doesn't like me very much… I have to say the feeling is mutual." He finally answers. "I guess I just pushed her buttons."
"Yeah, its pretty easy to get her fuming." I add.
"You can say that again." He responds.
"So I'm Puck… you are?" I ask.
"I'm Andrew." He answers.
"So Andrew how'd you meet Grimm… and where are you heading? Cause I sure there is nothing you would want in the forest."
"Well Twenty cheated in a boxing match against me a few years back, when she still was in the I.B.R. And I don't really know where I'm heading, does this town have a hotel?" What is the I.B.R? And cheating? That doesn't sound like Grimm… but then again, I didn't know her before she came to Ferryport, and only a few hours ago I accused her of cheating myself…
I don't ask what the I.B.R. is because he said it like I should know what it is, and I'm not dumb, so I don't want to come off as dumb. "Um… no we don't have a hotel or inn, but I'm sure the old lady would be happy to have you stay at our place. It's a little stuffed already, but we always figure out how to fit more, so what do you say?" Andrew smiles this evil and mischievous smile, I really like this Andrew kid; I think we might be good friends.
"That sounds great. I'd love to stay at your place." Andrew responds, wearing that smile which mirrors mine. Mischievous.
I took Andrew to our house and went to go find the old lady. When I finally found her, I asked if Andrew could stay here. As expected, she said she would love to have him stay with us. Unexpectedly though, the old lady said that before we officially invite him to stay at the house, she would ask Grimm if it was okay with her first. The old lady said it was because she obviously knew him longer than anyone else, and had an obvious problem with him.
Darn it! He'll never stay here, Grimm ruins everything! I think to myself, and then sigh.
Sabrina's POV
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am just really worried about Andrew being here and using Daphne to get revenge. You heard how he threatened her! And you know how much I love you. You are the only one that knows me inside and out. You know I didn't mean that. You also know I don't say sorry to anyone. I never regret anything I say or do, except now." I yell, and whisper at the end.
"I thought I was the only one that knew you inside and out too." Ray says this while looking at the ground, "But I guess I was wrong. You changed; I don't think I can be friends with you until you figure yourself out again. You're not the Twenty I knew."
Ray left after that, and I didn't stop her. She was right. I need to figure myself out before I go crawling back for her forgiveness.
I am in my room reading Trixie Grimm's journal for the third time, I'm not sure why, but when I'm upset I like reading it. I hear a knock at the door, I sit up and yell to whoever is on the other side "Come in!"
"Hello liebling," Granny says as she walks in, "You know that Andrew fellow you punched earlier?" she inquires.
"Yes." I respond.
"Well, he has no where to stay, and he seem to be getting along with Puck quite well, so we were going to invite him to stay here. But of course I wouldn't do it without your permission because you know him best… and punched him earlier." She asks me.
My first reaction is to say no, but then again, if I do I probably will have to have an explanation of why I said no and I do not want them to know what I did to Andrew's brother. And I will probably have Puck on my case for not letting his new 'BFF' stay here. I can protect Daphne and myself here, I'm not worried about that… I recall that saying that everyone has heard of at least once in their life keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. We are in my house now; Andrew is out of his environment. I can win.
"He can stay here." I finally say to Granny. She looks a little confused but smiles.
"Alright liebling, I'll go tell him." She says and leaves.
Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
A/N: I think I did horrible on Puck's POV… sorry. And the fight was cliché too… sorry
