Blossom POV

The ride was quiet and tense. Thankfully no one saw that I wasn't wearing my promise ring anymore, except Bubbles.

"Hey Bloss, where's your ring?" She asked pointing to my left hand. I saw everyone staring faces.

"I don't have it anymore," I say vaguely in a tone that says "I don't want to talk about it". Everyone was worried about Brick and me. So I changed the subject. 

"I really want to know what happened between you and Butch," I say to Buttercup who was staring out the window on the edge of tears. I know because I've seen her cry the most.  

I not sure if that made it better or worse. We stayed mostly quiet except for our attempts at a decent conversation. When we got home our moms were waiting for us. 

"You guys go out for one evening. What happened?" She says sternly and I don't think Buttercup could handle it anymore and ran out the back door that leads to our backyard. She sat on a stump, I could tell she was crying even though it was silent.

I took a deep breath. "As much as we need to discuss the issue. I'm not sure if this is the best time. We all need time to think." I say looking back at everyone. Everyone was either worried or upset.

Mom looked sad but nodded knowing she wouldn't get anything out of us. The ruffs went upstairs and my sisters and I went to Buttercup. 

"Tell me what happened," I say to her calmly sitting in front of her as Bubbles and Buttercup hold her on both sides.

"What's the point? You probably heard Butch's version." She says wiping away a few tears. 

I shook my head. "He only knows what he saw. Besides I would believe my sister over a ruff any day." I smile at her as she gives me a weak smile in return.

"A boy in an alley kissed me, and I couldn't get away and Butch saw it. He didn't want my explanation." She says as tears flow down her face.

I got closer. "Do you know who it is? Butch was saying something like, "Why him?" Butterfly questioned before the crying stopped. BC got up and said three words.

"Psychopathic Mitch Mitchelson." She says before walking into our recording a studio, and I followed her.

She stared at me. "What happened with you and red hat boy?" BC questioned setting up the music. 

"We broke up. He refused to tell me what happened like he usually does and I've had it with him. It's like he doesn't trust me and sometimes it doesn't seem like he just doesn't care." I explain with a heavy sigh.

Since I've broken away from Brick. I only feel like something missing. 

"I can tell you feel like you've made a mistake. It's in your eyes." BC says reading my mind. "I also feel the same way. I felt like I could've done more but I can't." 

I nod and picked up two microphones. I pressed a button to make the music play, but it didn't play, so I pressed a different one and it started to play.

Like a river
Like a river

Like a river

Like a river

Like a river

Like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Buttercup}

How do you fall in love?
Harder than a bullet could hit you
How do we fall apart?
Faster than a hair pin trigger

Don't you say, don't you say it, don't say
Don't you say it, one breath and it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Blossom/Both]
Shut your mouth
Baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands oh they make me a sinner
Like a river
Like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love till the veins start to shiver
One last breath till the tears start to wither
Like a river
Like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Buttercup]

Tales of an endless heart
Cursed is the fool who's willing
Can't change the way we are
One kiss away from killing
Don't you say, don't you say it
Don't say, don't you say it
One breath it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Blossom/Both]
Shut your mouth
Baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands oh they make me a sinner
Like a river
Like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love till the veins start to shiver
One last breath till the tears start to wither
Like a river
Like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Blossom]

Like a river

Like a river

Like a river

Shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Blossom/Buttercup]

Hey! Ooh oh oh

Hey! Ooh oh oh

Like a river!

Hey! Ooh oh oh
Ooh oh oh
Like a river!


[Blossom/Both]

Shut your mouth
Baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, oh they make me a sinner
Like a river
Like a river

Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love till the veins start to shiver
One last breath till the tears start to wither
Like a river

Like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

We walked out of the room to grab some water because we had tears rolling down our face during the whole song.

Our mom sat at the counter with a cup of coffee and we told her everything that had happened.

"Speaking of which, the adults of this think you've been too eventful. So we've changed your schedules and a few people will be joining our little team," Mom says handing me eight papers to give to everyone.

I had successfully delivered the papers to everyone but the ruffs. 

Boomer was in the shower, so I left his paper on his bed. Butch had been sitting in a chair petting, Honey. 

"In such scenario, if Buttercup didn't get kissed, would you still think she'll cheat on you?" I ask Butch as he stares at me.

He lets out a deep breath. "Anything is possible. Then again it's BC, so I doubt it but there still is a chance she might. She did." 

"I not gonna try and fix your relationship with BC, but I want you to hear a story."
