Yup. Random burst of inspiration struck me and here's an out of the blue update. Hope you like it!! Enjoy :)

Applejack's POV

I sighed as I sank down in my seat. I dropped my bag on the floor and put my head down on the desk. My eyes could hardly stay open.

I hate mornings. I hate school.

I want my Rainbow. Where was she??.

"What's up with you?", I hear Twilight ask me.

I pick my head up and look at her. The gals were looking at me, obviously amused by me being so dramatic. I sigh.

"Ah hate mornins. Ah want Rainbow", I whine.

I know I sounded like Rainbow Dash for a second but it's true. I wanted her to be here already. She told us not to pick her up this morning and that she'd walk to school today.

So here we are, sitting in homeroom, waiting.

"She's here", I hear Rarity said.

I sat up immediately, looking over at the doorway. I was a bit too happy but then again, it's Rainbow Dash. My beautiful, adorable, amazing, loving, perfect girl. Emphasis on the words MY GIRL. So back off everyone.

I look at Rainbow. My joy immediately turned to confusion and worry. She walked towards us, her hood up. Something was wrong.

Rainbow sat down beside me. She didn't look at me. Her hood made it impossible for me to see her face. She put her head down in her arms.

I look at the others. They had the same confused and worried look on their faces as well. I look at Rainbow.

"Rainbow. Are you alright??", I ask quietly.

Rainbow nodded. I lean in close, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Just tired", she mumbled so quietly, I had a little trouble hearing it.

"Physically or mentally??", I whispered.

Rainbow looked up at me. She looked so down and exhausted.

"Both", she said, with a small shrug.

I smile a little.

"Is there anythin' on yir mind that you wanna talk about??", I ask.

Rainbow sat up and pulled her hoodie down. My eyes widened. She had a black eye and a busted lip.

"Oh my gosh", I heard one of the girls say.

"What happened??", I asked.

I knew exactly what happened. Her father beat her up again. But I wanted her to tell me herself. It was healthy that she said it so that way she couldn't become one of those people who denied the abuse or was in denial about the whole situation.

Rainbow's eyes lowered.

"My dad punched me a few times when he got mad at me", she said quietly.

It was quiet. No one knew what to say. Rainbow suddenly grabbed a pencil and threw it across the room. Everyone looked at us as the pencil hit the window on the opposite side of the room and fell to the floor.

Rainbow crossed her arms and huffed, sinking into her seat. I knew exactly what to do in this situation.

"Rainbow", I said, getting her attention.

Rainbow looked up at me. I silent held my hands out, like you would a child wanting to be held. Rainbow nodded and immediately climbed onto my lap. I wrap my arms around her skinny body. Rainbow laid her head on my shoulder.

I give her a light kiss on her forehead.
"Have you eaten yet today??".

Rainbow didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"My dad took away my food privileges today".

I immediately reach for my bag. Picking it up, I unzip it. Thank good I carry extra snacks and stuff with me to school. I dig through and found a pack of crackers and an extra unopened water bottle. I zip up my bag and put it down.

"Here".

Rainbow took them.

"Thanks".

I smiled. "No problem. Ah love you".

"I love you too", I heard her say.

I continued to hold her. I hated seeing her like this.

"Hey Applejack??", Rainbow suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah??", I said. 

It was quiet. I pull Rainbow away and look at her. She looked at me. She had an uncertain look on her face.

"I........".

Rainbow bit her lip. I could tell she was nervous about saying whatever it was she wanted to say.

"You can tell me", I encourage her. "What's wrong??".

Rainbow sighed. "I was thinking about what you told me about telling someone about my dad".

I didn't expect that. I thought that'd be the last thing to say or think.

"Really??. And??".

"And......". Rainbow looled down at her fiddling hands.

"I think you're right", she said.

I didn't know how to respond. Should I smile because she's thinking about finally telling someone about her dad??. Should I say okay??.

"Oh.

Rainbow sit up a little more.

"I know this has been going on for far too long and I honestly don't know how much more I can handle".

Rainbow crossed her arms.

"I think I should say something. I-I don't know. Just forget it. I-I-It's- It's stupid".

Stupid??. No it aint. I shake my head, about to respond. Suddenly the bell rang. Rainbow got up. She picked up her bookbag. I stood up, getting my stuff as well.

"C'mon".

I take Rainbow's hand as we all walk out into the hallway full of students.

As we walk through the hall, Rainbow glued to my side, I glance at her every so often. Suddenly, Rainbow stopped, making me stop as well. I look at her and see that she looks extremely upset.

I turn my body towards her.

"Rainbow".

Rainbow suddenly broke down into tears right then and there. My heart snapped. I look at the girls who, looked concerned for Rainbow Dash. I pull Rainbow aside and pull her close to me.

Rainbow cried into my shoulder quietly. I silently held her, knowing she needed a good cry. I rubbed her back comfortingly. I felt so terrible. I could only imagine what life is like for her at her house. Especially with a monster for a father. I felt like crying or being in pain or being sad was a constant part of Rainbow's life. It never seemed to have any good moments.

I guess that's why I try to make her smile all the time. To pull her out of her depressing days whenever me and girls were around her.

She suddenly pulled away. She sighed and wiped her tears away. She sniffled.

"I'm sorry", she said.

"Don't be", Twilight said. "There's nothing wrong with breaking down every once in a while. It's healthy to cry".

Rainbow nodded. She looked at me. I gave her an encouraging smile.

"Hello there , beautiful".

I mentally did a happy dance when she giggled.

"Hey", she said, smiling.

I took her hand and kissed it.

"So beautiful and cute and ah love it when you smile".

I realized that I was just saying random compliments and such, but it was good for her self esteem.

"Let's get to class", Twilight said. "We can't be late".

We continued down the hall. As we walked, I suddenly felt a weird feeling in my stomach. I felt like something was wrong or like something was going to happen. I'm not sure why I feel this way. Maybe it was just the fact that Rainbow had to go home after school.

I look at Rainbow who was smiling. I hold her head slightly tighter as we walk into the classroom. Taking our seats, I had to let her go.

Sat the class started a few minutes later, I couldn't shake or ignore the feeling. Why was I feeling like this??. Everything was somewhat alright. Nothing was going to happen. This was probably just me being overprotective over Rainbow Dash.

It's probably nothing.

So yeah. I hope you guys liked this sudden update :) comment what cha thought of this and I'll be sure to update either in a little bit or late tonight. Most likely I'm a few hours. We'll see
