Brick's POV:
I wondered the streets of Townsville . Feeling the cold breeze hit ny face I pulled up the hood of my sweater covering my face from the people who walked by , I couldn't let anyone reconize me. I crossed the street my eyes landing at the towns jewelers. I walked up to the front window . I studied the engagement ring in display, it kinda reminds me of the ring I had planned to give Blossom . Before I knew it I walked up to the front door and entered the jewelry store . " Good evening sir," I looked up to see an elderly man behind the counter with a genuine smile " uh evening to you as well." I walked over to all the rings studying them carefully, back in the day we didn't have must options like today but I surely didn't mind . " They are beautiful aren't they?" I looked over to see the elderly man beside me opening the case and handing me a 4 carrot ring . " Who's the lucky young lady if I may ask, Brick Jojo?" I looked at him and pulled off my hood " How did you know it was me?" the man chuckled " I know a bright man when I see one , and plus my granddaughter has pictures of you and your brothers everywhere." I laughed lightly " Well I'm not exactly the best role model at the moment, if you watch the news you'll know I'm in a lot of trouble . "
" Are you kidding me you my boy , are exactly what every man wish they were , smart , strong , wealthy, and not to mention charming. If you think I would report you to the police for being a prime suspect to an incident that happened months ago you are mistaken, now answer me who's the special lady? I'm curious." I smiled at the man and then looked at the ring in my hand . " There is no girl, there was but... " I felt my eyes about to water but I kept it in . " We just weren't meant to be." I place the ring in the man's hand , who was looking at me with symphony. " Come join me in the back i would like to show you something. By the way my name is Mr. Cooper but my friends call me Henry. " I followed Henry to the back where he lived I assume , I sat down by the table as he pulled out an old wooden box . " What's that?" I ask as he set it down and took a seat . " This is all I have left of her . " he handed me a picture of a women who looked about 21 . " She beautiful, Mr. Cooper " he nodded " that's Darling, she died a month after we broke up , she -" I looked at Mr. Cooper ny face emotionless " she took a gun to her mouth , " I put the picture down and ran a hand threw my hair " the last thing I ever told her was that she was the biggest mistake and that I would never want her back , and till this day I regret it more then ever ." he reached in the box and pulled out a ring , it was small but it was nice . Suddenly the memory of the day I had announced to my father about myself wanting to propose came to mind .
* Flashback 1492*
" Father I'm going to ask her to marry me ." my father got up from his desk and grabbed my shoulders gently. " Brick we had talked about this , its to risky to get romantically involve when you know you're not like most men . Now Blossom is an extraordinary girl she is and I would love to see you two together , but think about it , about your brothers. What if you were to get her pregnant, what would the baby be? Full demon or half we cannot have that."
" Father, I beg you let me marry Blossom, let me make her mine. " my father took a breath before walking over to his desk drawer and pulled out an old red hat . He walked back to me and handed me the hat , I looked inside the hat to see an amazing ring inside " take it my son , ask her to marry you I give you my blessing. " I smiled at my father and gave him a hug . " Thank you father , thank you. " with that I ran out of the study , unaware of how I would never get to ask the question.
* End of Flashback *
" I have to go Mr. Cooper , but I'm deeply sorry for your lost . " I gave him a small smile before leaving . As I opened the door i heard Mr. Cooper speak out " Do what you think is best for her if you really love her as much as I know you do . Just don't let yourself regret it think of how good your decision is doing for her." I walked out into the rain thinking of what Henry told me .
It wasn't long before I made it to clearing of the city and flashed back to the mansion . I walked into our second house soaked and tired , " Master , Brick there's a phone call -" I shook off Robin " Not now Robin." I made my way to stair case when Robin blocked my path, " But master Brick-"
" I SAID NOT NOW!" without thinking I smacked Robin causing her to fall on the stairs . She looked at me in horror while holding her cheek . I stepped back running my hands through my damp hair messing it up before running out where I know I could be alone .
A/N the composition " Cry " by Michael Ortega begins here. Michael Ortega is brilliant and my favorite, hope you feel the music just as much .
I walked up to the clearing , next to where our house you to stand. Everything is so wrong now, its like suddenly everything was crashing down on us. Weakness took over me and I fell to knees , and sat down. I brought my legs to my chest not caring that is was pouring outside. I let all my emotions from the past thousand years come out , I cried . I didn't care that I was Brick Jojo and that I shouldn't cry , I cried that's final . There's so many things that I wish I could fix , but I see it as a mirror. Even if you put the mirror back together , you could still see the cracks in the reflection . I looked up to the ocean in front of me , getting up I flashed out into the city , in front of old Pokey Oaks Pre-school . There she was , I watched as she sat in the floor with a kid between her building a tower with blocks . I watched as she laughed as the blocks came down and she began tickling the child .
I swallowed hard before looking down to my pocket and pulling out a hat, my hat . I let go of it letting it fall into the muddy water below me and walking away.
"Sometimes you have to let go of what's
killing you .
Even if it kills you to let ."
