This chapter was for DelusionalApple who suggested that I do this song!

Read & Review and comment what you think or any other song you want me to do next. I promise it won't take as long as this one did. Enjoy!

Sabrina clutched her side as she ran – the heart thumping in her throat and lungs burning kind of run that kept her mind from letting tears spill. Crashing through the front door and bolting up the steps to the sanctuary of her room. Once there she slammed her door – not caring about the noise she made or who in the house she disrupted. She was just angry.

Why did he have to ruin everything? Better yet, why did she have to ruin everything for herself?

Her successful attempts at hiding her emotions was crumbling inside her. Tears pulled through the surface and leaked down her face. The floodgates had opened; now that she started she knows she's not stopping now. She pressed her palms into her eyes and forcefully held back hiccupping sobs exploding through her chest.

And behind her eyes were images of him. He was so beautiful… laughing and smiling. And then she saw the image of him after. He looked so hurt…

Her eyes opened and it seemed as if only things that he had given her were in her line of vision. They were like beacons of lights shining through the dull and dark colors of anything that he hadn't touched or brought into her life…

And then just like that the sadness dissipated – and in its place was anger. Hot, white and radiating through her body.

Then she was on her feet. Sweeping through the room and throwing anything that stupid boy has ever touched into a pile on the floor. She was getting ready to throw the third oversized green hoodie he had left on her computer desk against the wall – and then she heard the squeak of her door hinges being opened.

"Go away Puck. We're not talking about this. And if you think you can talk me out of it you're cra –"

She turned around to finish giving him a piece of her mind, but wasn't met with the blonde haired-green eyed boy she expected, but the raven hair and brown eyes of her mother.

"Sabrina?"

"Mom…" She was met with an embarrassment she never felt in front of her mother before. With a blank face and blush creeping on her cheeks, she looked at her mom and for once didn't know what to say. She knew she probably looked crazy – mid-tantrum with her hair wildly thrown over her face and her room in disarray.

"What's this?" Veronica asked as she motioned to the pile of knick-knacks and boy clothing laying in the middle of her floor.

"This…" Sabrina gestured as her anger resurgenced. "Is my new beginning." She bitterly replied as she dropped the hoodie and plopped onto her bed.

"And I'm guessing this 'new beginning' is one without Puck in it?" Her mom replied as she followed her daughter and sat on the bed next to her.

"You'd be right." She whispers as she looked at her lap and played with her fingers.

"What's this about? I thought you guys were doing so well! I thought you said he had changed for the better and everything was going smoothly…" Veronica said as she pulled Sabrina's hair back behind her ear and rubbed soothing circles into her back.

"It was," Sabrina admitted as her jaw set and her anger slowly bubbled into oblivion. "But he ruined everything. As always – and I kinda did too."

Her mother raised her eyebrows in questioning, not needing to physically voice her confusion. Sabrina looked up and rolled her eyes with a sigh before searching her mind for the right way to explain this.

"He – Well I – We…" She stuttered as she tried to find the words around the actual flashback going on in her mind.

She felt the embarrassment creeping back onto her cheeks, and she had to close her eyes to muster the words out of her mouth.

"Puck told me that he loved me today."

Silence stretched between the two for several seconds before it was broken by the sound of Veronica's laughter. Who was soon met with the vicious stare of her daughter's disapproval of her actions.

"I'm sorry, honey. I just assumed you and Puck exchanged those words a long time ago."

'Well you were wrong." Sabrina grumbled as she went back to staring at her lap.

"Okay, so what's wrong with him loving you? You can't possibly be mad that he has feelings for you – I thought that was evident when you guys have been dating for this long."

"Yes, yes I can be mad at him for it! He knew it would catch me off guard and that I would end up looking stupid." Sabrina screamed as she jumped backed up and continued to throw random things into the growing pile of Puck memories.

"Stupid?" Veronica got up and followed her daughter around the room as she continued to rip her room apart. Wooden sword – tossed. Picture frame – tossed. Set of arrows he got for her bow– tossed. "Why would you look stupid when he's telling you how he feels for you?"

"Because I didn't say anything!" She screamed as she turned around and faced her mother, hair fanning out around her and glassy eyes. "He looked me in my eyes and said: 'I love you, Sabrina,' and I stared and said nothing." Her fists were clenching and unclenching as she paced back and forth between her mother and the pile of Puck's things.

"And why didn't you say it back? Do you not feel the same?"

"No, I do." She whispered back as her jaw set again and she ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.

Veronica sighed and swallowed another tempting giggle before it escaped her and enraged her already emotionally-fragile daughter. "Look honey, I know you have a strong sense of pride. Your just like your father that way. But being in love is not something to be ashamed of. It's okay to be in love."

"I know it's okay, mom. I really do. It's just when I looked at him and it came down to saying it… I froze – I froze and I just..." Sabrina's words faltered as her pacing slowed to a stop and her hair was in tangles around her fingers.

"You just won't say it." Veronica finished for her and she smiled and smoothed down her daughters hair for the second time.

"No. I won't. It's so cliché that it makes my skin crawl," Sabrina shuttered as her face contorted into disgust. "Because of course this had to happen to me – the prophecy ridden Grimm girl just had to fall in love with the Fairy King. Everything was fine the way it was – before he had to go and mess it up by telling me that."

"Sabrina everyone falls in love. Everyone is a cliché at some point or another. Even the strongest of people have to put their pride aside at some point. At least if they want to be happy. Maybe Puck is just trying to be with you and be happy. Don't take that away from him – or you for that matter – just because you're stubborn."

Sabrina stared and for the second time that day had nothing to say. She knew what she wanted to say: 'Maybe I should go talk to Puck.' But was she actually going to say that…? Of course not.

"It's scary, I know…" Veronica smiled as she leaned in and kissed Sabrina's temple. "But you can't let yourself miss out on this experience because of your fear and your pride. You can only deny how you feel for so long."

They were brought back to reality as the sound of a door slamming resounded in the hall for the second time that day.

"And that would be Puck." Veronica laughed as she walked towards the door, and placed her hand on the metal knob. "But just remember, if you're feeling it inside, you might as well say it out loud as well."

"I'll tell him…" Sabrina said to her mothers back before it disappeared from her room. "I will. Tomorrow." She continued to say as she picked up the pieces of her and Puck's relationship from her floor.

"That's my girl." Veronica said as she beamed a smile at her daughter before turning and walking out to leave her daughter to her nervousness.
