Chapter 24
Butch pushed back his hair, staring in the mirror. He nodded and grabbed his toothbrush, to quickly brush his teeth. Butch walked out of the bathroom and heard Brick and Boomer fight over the tv, which is a annual fight in the hiuse. He grabbed the keys and walked outside, smelling the air.
His heart pounded against his chest as he opened the car door. Butch sat in the car and started it, thinking of what could happen. Maybe she would ditch him, maybe she didn't like him, maybe Buttercup couldn't face him. Butch shook his head and drove to the place she texted him. He pulled up and saw she sitting on the bench texting.
Butch opened the door and stepped out, looking at her. She looked up and smiled then walked to him. Buttercup wore a pair of black slacks and a green button up tank top. Butch gulped, suddenly forgetting how to speak.
"What's wrong?" Buttercup asked.
"Uh, urm," Butch mumbled with his face turning bright red.
"Butch?" She asked.
"Dogs!" He yelled.
"What?" Buttercup said making Butch groan.
He put his hands over his face and sighed, making her smile. Butch looked through his fingers and his neck along with his ears turned red. Buttercup reached over and grabbed his hands, pulling them down. He stared into her eyes as she rolled her eyes.
"I get it, I'm wearing something that's to sexy for your small mind." Buttercup said as Butch laughed.
"Are you always like this?" He asked.
"Yup! Better get used to it." She said as she opened the door for him.
Butch smiled and jumped in, she shut the door and rushed to her side. Buttercup smiled at him, but for some reason Butch's mind raced when she smiled. Something told him that he knew that smile, his heart raced. Butch turned away, narrowing his eyes at the road.
He needed to know why everytime she smiled he thought it was familiar. Butch turned in the restaurant and waited for her to get out, then he stared at her. It was like he flashed back in time, she walking away, he stayed behind and couldn't move. Butch sucked in a breath. He rolled down the window, which made Buttercup peeked in.
"Buttercup." He said.
"Yes?" She asked."
"Please don't kill me," He said. "Climb on top, and let's get dirty." Butch said.

Brick groaned as he stared at the phone, hoping that she would text back. Instead she has been ignoring him since last time they texted. At first Brick thought he done something stupid, because he usually does, but he son realize that he didn't do anything wrong. They made a deal, he guessed her name and they get coffee. But soon as he gets her name, she backs out of the deal!
Brick felt cheated.
He stood up and popped his back, he walked to the kitchen and heard nothing but the dryer. Boomer left for the beach with his new girlfriend and Butch claimed that he is going to be out all night. Which left Brick all by himself, not that he minded. He liked when he could collect his thoughts from every crazy thing happened this month.
Brick rubbed his face, then grabbed a pot filling it with water. He wanted some mac and cheese, hoping that something could happen. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the water, waiting for something. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down but he gripped on the box.
I'm sorry that we had to kick your butt.
But we couldn't let you where our secret base is, that would be rather stupid of us.
You're the cop around here, you tell me Mr. Police.
Oh yeah, we're going to have a fun time!
Brick yelled in pain, he opened his eyes and saw the water burned his hand. He gasped and shut off the stove then threw the pot in the sink, he stared at his hand. Brick closed his eyes and turned on the cold water, putting his hand underneath. Brick gasped as soon the water touched his burn, making him hissed. He opened his eyes, staring at the water hitting his hand.
Brick turned off the water and walked towards the bathroom, getting the first aid kit. He grabbed some burn cream and started to put it on. But he remembered on sentence, something that has been at the back of his mind.
You can't bring her back.
But who who said that?

Boomer sat on the beach and wrapped his arms around Bubbles, staring at her. Her blonde hair glowed in the light, her bright eyes watched the waves and her skin seemed to light up the night. Boomer smiled and kissed her forehead, putting his head on her shoulder. Bubbles giggled, making his head move, but he couldn't help to smile even more.
Even if his cheeks hurt.
"Why are you smiling?" Bubbles asked.
"Why wouldn't I be? I mean you're the most beautiful person who walked the Earth." Boomer replied.
"I'm not beautiful."
"What do you mean?"
"I have a tainted soul. I murdered, that doesn't make me beautiful. Like what you guys said before, we're monsters."
Boomer pulled away and looked at her, she didn't look at him. Bubbles only looked out to the ocean, frowning. Boomer frowned and grabbed her hand, instead of gripping it, it is limp in his hand. Boomer sighed as he grabbed her chin and made her look at him, but her eyes made Boomer freeze.
They looked lost, broken and scared.
"This is where we first met." Bubbles said as Boomer raised his eyebrow.
"What? We met at a coffee shop." Boomer said which made Bubbles laugh.
"I meant Justin." She said.
That made Boomer shut up.
"It was a school trip, my parents just left me with my grandma. Trust me, that sucked a lot. Boomer, don't think that Justin has always been a jerk, he wasn't. He was charming, knew how t make me laugh. Yet I always knew that there was a dark side of him.
"Justin claimed that I was Aphrodite herself, saying that even angels turned away from my beauty. That made my heart flutter, then if became a little thing for us. I would sneak out just to see him. I think it was mostly because I loved being told that I am beautiful or maybe it was exciting that he noticed me.
"But one night, I found him with another girl. At first I thought they was friends, so I brushed it off. But when I noticed that he talk to more girls and I would get more jealous. Then one night, I finally charged up to him and confronted him. I needed the attention that he gave me, I needed to know that I was the only one he ever thinks about. But he just laughed and grabbed me, I was scared but I wished that he didn't hurt me. I begged him and told him that I was sorry, but he ripped off my clothes. Claiming that I was ungrateful and he needed to show me what real love means. That's when he got on top of me and...."
She stopped but Boomer knew what she was going to say.
"He raped you." Boomer said as she nodded.
Bubbles gripped on to his hand, having tears rushed down.
"I never thought that he would hurt me, but he broke that. So found a chat and that's where I met Blossom and Buttercup. I told them what happened, I told them everything and anything. The next time I saw Justin, he done it again. Everytime I saw him, he done it every single time! I needed a escape, I needed a way to get him to stop. I didn't know that we would go that far but it felt right! I finally got rid of one monster, then maybe we could've get rid of the others." Bubbles said.
Boomer took her hand and smiled, she looked at him with sadness but hope. He wiped away the fallen tears and kissed her hand.
"I promise to protect you forever and love you with all my heart." Boomer promised.
"Would you turn into Justin?" Bubbles asked.
"Never."
"Good."
"I love you, Bubbles."
"I love you too, Boomie."
