Ruby’s Point of View

I cried myself to sleep last night. And that took me forever since I’m so used to listening to Mark as I fell asleep. So, I’m sleep deprived, depressed, and I have to go to work today, surrounded by family. Yay…

When I woke up that morning, I looked at myself in the mirror, and laughed a little bit. I looked fucking horrible.

My eyes were red and puffy, and had bags under them, showing lack of sleep. There were lines all over my arms and face, showing my many failed positions of my trying to fall asleep. But not only did I look horrible on the outside, I felt horrible on the inside.

I had a pounding headache, probably from dehydration from crying so much. My throat hurt like a bitch, and I would probably have less of a voice than yesterday. And to make things that much worse, I didn’t know if I was going to be able to handle work today.

Regardless, I went down to the kitchen and got myself a big glass of water, taking two Aleve and slowly sipping the water. It burned my throat, and it really didn’t make my head feel any better, but there really wasn’t much else I could do.

Emma had the day off, so I slowly and quietly went back upstairs, trying not to wake her. I put on my work uniform, and slowly and carefully combed my hair, making sure not to make my headache any worse. I pulled it up into a ponytail, not really caring how it looked, and pondered the thought of putting on makeup.

If I put on makeup now, no one in my family would know I look like shit and ask me what’s wrong. On the other hand, if I put it on, I would have to take it off later, which I would probably be too tired to do. So, I just decided against it, and left the house.

I had left for work a little earlier than I normally did, so I just took a small drive around the town, just staring at the road and the raindrops on my windows. It wasn’t raining very hard, but I didn’t care. I liked rain, and it seemed to match my mood quite well on this sad, depressing day.

After about half an hour of just driving and thinking, I finally pulled into the parking lot and walked into the café.

“Morning Sunshine.” My brother smiled at me as I walked in, and I flashed him a fake smile back. He gave me a concerned look, but I just waved him off, heading back behind the counter.

“Ok spill. We know something’s wrong.” Pearl said, all my siblings surrounding me.

“What? I’m fine. See?” I smile at them, but of course, none of them are convinced.

“Ruby, we’ve seen each other our whole lives, we know when you’re upset. Now, who do we have to beat up?” My older brother, Jasper, asks, making a fist.

“Jasper, you don’t have to beat anyone up.” I say, but my eldest sibling, Emerald, pipes up.

“Oh yes we do. Now, I know I’m usually the word of reason around here, but I haven’t seen you this upset in a long time. I actually don’t think you’ve ever been this upset. And no one messes with anyone from the Jewel family. Especially the youngest.” Emerald says, and Pearl ruffles up my hair a little bit.

“Well it was…” I start, but I’m cut off by the bell, signaling that someone had entered the café.

“Speak of the devil…” I mumble under my breathe as Mark walks through the door, an almost awkward expression on his face.

“So, you’re the asshole that hurt my little sister.” My brother growls, my sisters getting up as well to protect me.

“Guys guys, it’s ok. Let me handle this.” I say, and they nod at me, but not before making a few silent threats at Mark.

When we were alone, Mark tried to speak.

“Look, Ruby…” Mark starts, but I cut him off.

“What the hell are you doing here? I told you I didn’t want to fucking see you in my café.” I snap, and Mark puts his hands up defensively.

“Look Ruby, I just want to talk.” He says.

“Why the hell would I want to talk like an asshole like you?” I question, and he just sighs.

“Can we please just talk? And not here? I don’t like making a scene…” He trails off, and I snap at him again.

“You don’t want to make a scene, huh? Because pretty boy doesn’t want to fuck up his big shot reputation, isn’t that right?” I snap defensively, and that’s when Mark gives me a look of anger and frustration.

He grabs me by my wrists and yanks me towards the back room.

“And where the fuck do you think you’re taking me asshole?” I snap, trying to break free of his strong grip.

He pulls me into one of the freezers in the back and shuts the door.

“To somewhere more private so we can talk.” He says, finally calming down.

“I told you, I don’t want to fucking talk to you.” I say, crossing my arms and trying to keep myself warm.

“Fine then.” Mark says, walking closer to me and grabs my wrists again.

“What the hell are you doing you creep?! Let me go!” I scream as Mark pins my hands above my head, looking at my tattoo for a moment before looking into my eyes.

I try hard not to melt into his deep, dark chocolate brown eyes, and I look away to not cave in. But that’s when Mark holds my wrists with one hands, and moves his other down my face, forcing me to look at him. We stare at each other for a while before Mark leans in and kisses me on the lips.

His lips were warm and soft, and I had to admit, I did kinda like it. But I knew how wrong it was, so I moved my face away and managed to rip my hands from Marks grip.

“You bastard! Get the hell out of my café!” I scream at him, and he looks into my eyes one last time before shaking his head slightly and exiting the freezer.

I came out a few minutes later, and my three siblings were there to greet me when I came back to the front of the café.

“So… What happened?” Pearl asked, and I try my best to hold back my tears as I lie to them.

“N-Nothing.” I stutter. “I…I just told him to never come back.” I say, and the three of them smile at me.

“Alright. Well come on Ruby. Why don’t I make you a hot chocolate and then you can get to work, does that sound good?” Jasper asked me, and I smiled a sad small smile.

“Can you put those little marshmallows in it? And whipped cream?” I ask, and Jasper laughs as he kisses my forehead.

“Of course Ruby. Anything to make you smile.” He said as he went back to go make my hot chocolate.

After that I couldn’t help but smile to myself for just a minute. Because I knew my family was going to be there for me, no matter what.
