Ibby Minis-Shattered Thorns

Author Notes: Time for another ibby minis~ I really like this title and have been wanting to use it for awhile, so time to get on with it! I do not own IB

3rd P.O.V

She blamed herself. She hurt herself. Ib was wallowing in misery. As memories of her past came back to haunt her. It has been 6 years since that incident. It's crazy how despite how much time has passed. The day where she lost everything.

"I Hate YOU!" Ib stood frightened, her hand clutching her injured arm. She never expected this kind of reaction, she was absolutely terrified at the monster her once best friend had become.

Her red eyes leaked tears as blood seeped through her shirt. Her back against the wall, as she frantically searched for a possible way to escape. But she didn't have much time to think as the knife dived right into her once more.

Ib yowled in pain as the cold metal penetrated her skin. "Please...stop." Her voice was wavering, she felt herself drop to her butt as her strength began to fade. Her lips were quivering, she inwardly groaned as she felt the steaming red liquid descend down her body.

She drew her knees up to try and stop the flow of crimson that was leaving her stomach. But she knew...it was inevitable, she wasn't going to last long at this rate. "Mary...please." Ib tried, she tried so hard to look into the blue eyes of her friend.

Pleading, wishing that her friend would come back to her senses, that she'd realize what she was doing was wrong. "You took him away from me! You knew I loved him and you took him AWAY!" Her blonde locks were messy, clinging to her petite body.

Rage contorted her face, her eyes red rimmed with small bags. "Why...why did he choose you?!" She asked herself. Slowly was the 16 year old loosing herself, depression and insanity spreading.

Mary sneered at her friend, enjoying the way she looked. She always did tell the girl that red suited her. "I'll kill you...you traitor, and then, I'll make sure Garry Pays too!" She was childish, she was selfish, not once did the knife wielder like it when things didn't go her way.

To find out that Ib and Garry kissed, when Mary had feelings him? She was not having it. Originally she wanted to deny it. But it was right in front of her, there was no excuse she could come up with to explain the situation.

So she confronted the girl aggressively. Slamming Ib against the wall. Demanding what was going on between her and him. Ib tried to explain, she herself was at a loss as Garry kissed her. Mary shrieked in anger. Not believing her friend and took out her favorite knife.

There the 22 year old stood on the cliff, a not too far away distance from her home, it was full of flowers, beauty was evident as the sun shined through the blue sky. However Ib found no warmth under its dazzling rays. She could feel her scars throbbing.

The time had finally come. "Bye bye Ib...it was nice knowing ya~" In the squeaking, playful voice she raised her bloodied weapon, seeing the glint from the light hitting it. Ib closed her eyes.

Not able to fight back. She heard the whistle sound as the blade came crashing down, she waited, hoping that death be swift and painless. But it was moments after that she finally found the courage to open her eyes.

Shock coursed through her veins when she found her savior. Garry held Mary and her knife at bay. His eyes glowed, he was mad, he was horrified. "Stop this Mary...NOW!" They struggled. Mary putting all her strength into gaining control over her blade.

Garry was determined to push it out of her grip. He was scared, he didn't get too good a look at his beloved Ib, but he could tell from the way she sat against the wall with the pool of red beneath her that this couldn't go long much longer.

He kneed the girl in the stomach, a breath of air escaped her as he flung the knife elsewhere, away from her homicidal hands. He smacked her, she fell unconscious within moments. Garry had already dialed 911 before defending Ib from Mary.

And now tried to stop the blood flow. He laid her gently onto the floor, turning his old raggedy coat into a pillow for the brown haired angel. She smiled softly at him, despite the situation, she was so happy to see him.

He loved her, he confessed to her, he kissed her. She didn't know how to react to him, she cared for him but she knew and cared for Mary's feelings as well. She went to find the blonde only to be thrown into a room, pushed against the wall and attacked.

Ib could feel herself fading, Garry shouted at the top of his lungs as he heard sirens. "Hang on Ib! Help is coming. HURRY! She's barely conscious!" She closed her eyes from the exhaustion...her mind was blank of dreams.

When she came to, she was in a hospital bed, her body covered in bandages. The nurse that was there, explained the situation. Mary was thrown in jail for attempted murder. Garry had left...for reasons unknown to the girl. Never to be heard from again.

Here she stands looking at the town below her. Pain was shown in her expression. So many times in the past 6 years did she want to end her life. The girl felt so alone, her parents forced her to go to counseling sessions but it didn't help...it never did.

A crunching of the ground alerted her of someones presence. She turned around, a familiar mop of purple and light blue eyes overlooked her. They stayed that way for some time. The wind wailed, forcing their clothes to flutter.

Ib was frozen...unable to move. Questioning if he was a hallucination of hers. But when she saw his smile. She knew, he was here, he was real. She ran jumping into his open embrace.

The brunette should've been furious with him, she should've smacked him for abandoning her all those years ago, when she needed him most. But the pure undeniable relief, she loved him, she was worried about him. Her joy overpowered all other emotions.

He explained, he had been the one to pay for her heavy medical expenses, but due to the incident, her parents forbid him from seeing her. Threatening to have him arrested. They knew he was the root cause of the attack.

Worried for their daughter they made sure he stayed away. His own guilt also playing a part of his disappearance. Up until now he was never able to properly explain himself.

But being with her holding her close. For now...things seemed right again, now...they could find it within each other to continue on with their lives. Garry picked up a flower, putting it gently in her hair. "I love you Ib...I always have."
