Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE POWERPUFF GIRLS

Chapter one:

I sighed, folded my arms across my chest and leaned against the lockers. Mitch had texted me and told me to give him a ride home after basketball practice. I said okay and drove over here, got off of my car and walked into the school. What's the first thing I saw when I walked in? Well, I saw my boyfriend Mitch making out with some random blonde against the lockers. And now, here I am watching them, waiting for Mitch to notice me…

After about a minute I got tired of waiting.

"Ahem." I tried clearing my throat. They did hear me.

"AHEM!" I said a bit louder.

Mitch opened his eyes and saw me. I smirked and waved.

He pushed the girl away from him.

"Buttercup, it's not what-"

"Save it." My voice cracked. I cleared my throat again. "I mean…Save it." I was not going to start crying. Not here, not now.

I turned around and started walking the opposite direction.

"Buttercup wait! Are we broken up?!"

I laughed humourlessly in my head. "What do you think Bozo?!" I called without looking back.

I opened the school doors and stepped outside. I sighed, it was raining. Usually I liked the rain but today it was just making me even more depressed.

A tear escaped my left eye but I quickly brushed it away. I walked up to my car; Mitch can find his own dang car ride home. I exited the school parking lot and I couldn't take it anymore! Tears started streaming down my eyes rapidly. I was crying…No need to try to stop it now. It just seems like the story of my freaking life! Didn't any boy out there think I was worth it? Doesn't any boy love me enough to stay faithful to?

Suddenly, my mind started flashing with images of Butch. I tried to shake them out, Butch had cheated on me too even though he said he didn't. Well, I don't believe that, given my history in relationships he probably did mean to cheat on me. I tried really hard to remove Butch from my mind but I couldn't do it so I eventually gave up. I guess the images were here to stay, I sighed in defeat. Whatever, not like it matters anyway.

I pulled up to my drive way, slammed the door to my car shut and stomped into my house. I took off my wet shoes and hung my black leather jacket in the closet by the front door. I walked into the living room and it was completely quiet and lifeless. The only thing there seemed to be with life was Bubbles lying on the couch reading a book.

"Whatcha reading Bubbles? Another book about stupid sparkly vampires?" I asked as I walked past her to the kitchen.

She sighed, put a book mark in her book and closed it. She sat up on the couch.

"No, it's not that kind of book. I've outgrown the whole vampire thing."

I opened the pantry and took out a bag of potato chips.

"What's it about then?" I asked while stuffing my face.

"It's a book where people get chosen to be in a game where they have to kill each other and at the end they get food." She explained.

I raised my eyebrows. "Really? You? A book about killing?"

Bubbles rolled her eyes. "It's not like I can't handle it. I'm still a Powerpuff Girl you know?"

I nodded. "True, very true…So where is everybody?"

"Well, Blossom, Brick, and the Professor are down stairs in the lab. The Professor has been trying everything to get Brick his powers back but so far, he's not doing so good."

I went and sat beside her on the couch.

"Poor Brick." I said. "I couldn't last a day without my powers."

Bubbles shrugged. "I found it awesome that he jumped in front of Blossom…He's a really good guy.

A really good guy. Something that I'll never have…Why? Because I'm probably meant to be forever alone. Because I suck and everybody treats me like crap. I felt a tear escape my eye and quickly brushed it away hoping that Bubbles hadn't seen it…Too bad she did.

"Are you okay?" She sounded shocked. Why wouldn't she be shocked? The last time she saw me cry was years ago…When we were seven…Maybe.

I got up from the couch and shook my head. "I'm fine Bubbles don't worry about it."

She got up too. "No you're not!" She almost shouted.

"Bubbles, I'm okay."

"No you're not! I'm in psychology class and I know that when people shake their heads they are not fine!"

"UGH!" I stomped to my room. "Just leave me alone about it Bubbles!" I shouted and slammed the door to my room.

I went and sat down in the corner of my room. Why must my sisters notice everything about me? I mean, yeah I do wanna talk to them about it but I don't wanna feel needy. I groaned. Why is life so complicated? Life is like a-like a boy! Yes a boy! It's complicated…

*Butch's POV*

I was lying on my bed listening to my ipod. I had my headphones in and had it turned on full blast. I sighed, I wasn't even doing anything! I was just listening to a song that reminded me of Buttercup while staring at the freaking ceiling. Gosh, I really need to get a life or something.

"Slapped my face

Slammed the door

A dozen roses lay on the floor

I saw her friends and I was told

She blocked my number from her cellphone."

I chuckled humourlessly at the lyrics. It's amazing how well they fit with what I had gone through with Buttercup.

"Now this obsession

Is killing me

Until I have a heart attack

I'll keep on trying to win you back."

I closed my eyes and thought back to when I could hold her hand, hug her, and kiss her.

"Alone at last

I can't wait til we're alone at last

All I wanted was a second chance

second chance

to hold her in my arms at last."

I groaned I can't take this anymore. I sat up on my bed, grabbed my cellphone and texted her.

"Forever, forever

I'll walk a thousand miles

Just to tell her to tell her

Our love was still alive

And I'll never, I'll never

I'll never let it die

Well you better watch your step

She's a diamond on a landmine."

"You're dang right she is." I mumbled to myself and sent Buttercup a text asking her if she wanted to hang out. A couple seconds later she replied saying okay.

*Buttercup's POV*

I wiped my tears away and looked at my phone. It said that I had on new message. I opened it and saw that it was from Butch.

Do you wanna hang out today? He had sent.

Yep. I replied back.

I stood up and just when I did my door flew open and Blossom walked in. She closed the door and awkwardly stood across from me. She was looking at me carefully, studying me almost. After a few minutes of awkwardly staring at me I asked her what she wanted.

She sat down on my bed. "Bubbles said that you were crying."

"UGH! I was not crying! Bubbles is clearly wrong!"

Blossom raised her eyebrows and gave me an obvious look. "Have you seen your eyes Buttercup? I'm not stupid; I can see when you've been crying."

"Uh…" Why couldn't I think of anything to say?

Blossom sighed. "What's wrong Buttercup? Talk to me, I'm your sister I'm not going to judge you I'm going to help you…I promise."

"It's just that-" Why couldn't I make the words come out of my mouth?! It's not like I did something terrible.

Suddenly, Blossom's eyes widened. "You're not pregnant are you?" She asked.

"EW! Why would you assume that Blossom?! Gosh!" I snapped. Who does she think I am? What makes her think that I would go and have a baby with Mitch? The only person I would have a baby with is- Ew no! Get that out of your mind Buttercup!

Blossom sighed in relief. "Okay, I'm sorry so what's wrong?"

I sat down beside her. "Well, I ended it with Mitch today…Sort of…"

Her eyes narrowed. "What do you mean sort of?"

I took a deep breath. "He cheated on me…"

Blossom gasped.

"I walked in the school and saw him making out with some random blonde chick."

Blossom wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug. "I'm sorry Buttercup."

I shook my head and wiped more tears off my face. "Don't say you're sorry it's not your fault."

"Are you crying because you really like Mitch?" She asked.

"No, not really, I'm mostly crying because…because…"

"Because…?"

"Because, I'm not good enough." I broke away from her grasp. "I'm not good enough for anyone! Every boy I've dated has cheated on me! I'm just not good for anybody."

Blossom folded her arms across her chest. "You're wrong."

"Ha! Prove it!"

"Butch." She simply said.

I hesitated. "He cheated on me."

Blossom shook her head. "No, he didn't. Robyn kissed him and of course Robyn didn't know that you and Butch were dating. I believe Butch when he said that he didn't know that Robyn was going to kiss him."

"UGH!" I groaned.

"Buttercup, I promise you that Butch thinks you're good enough…Actually he thinks you're worth more than all the money in the world."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, right."

Suddenly, my cell phone beeped alerting me of a new text.

"Speak of the devil." Blossom mumbled.

I picked it up.

Meet me at the park in 15 minutes.

Butch, it's raining.

Wrong, now it is drizzling so hurry up. : )

I sighed and looked at Blossom. "I gotta go." I told her.

She got up from my bed. "Where are you going?"

"To see…um, Butch." My face grew red for some weird reason.

Blossom smiled. "This is the beginning to a new beautiful relationship."

"Oh shut up Blossom."

Blossom laughed as I walked out of my room. I couldn't help my smile myself.

*Butch's POV*

I leaned against the tree and watched Buttercup get out from her car and jog up underneath the tree with me. I smiled at the shirt she was wearing underneath her leather jacket.

"Oscar the grouch?" I asked motioning to her shirt.

She smiled. "Yep, he was my childhood hero."

I laughed. "You're amazing Greenbean?"

She looked taken back. "Greenbean? I haven't heard you call me that in a while."

I shrugged. "I thought I would bring it back."

"So uh, what are we doing here?" She asked.

I shrugged again. "Thought we could take a walk."

"Oh, okay."

Suddenly, I grabbed her hand. She gasped and I could tell whether she was contemplating on letting go or to keep holding my hand. At the end, she let go of my hand.

We started to walk on the concrete path.

"So, how's life living alone?" She asked.

"Not much different. I mean, I guess I kind of miss Mojo yelling at us all the time but he was usually never home. If he was then he left us alone, he got tired of telling us what to do when we turned ten."

"How are your brothers taking it?"

"Not that much different. They really don't care I don't think."

She nodded and buried her hands deep in her pockets; I noticed that she had on a messy bun again. I grinned.

"So, I noticed you drove here?" I asked.

"Yeah, I feel kind of bad because Brick lost his powers and all. So, I'm also trying to do things normally, although there are some things that just have to be done with super powers."

"Oh really?" I rubbed my chin. "Like what?"

She grinned. "Well, you have to have superpowers to grill your cheese sandwich to perfection."

I laughed. "Yep, that's one thing."

"I depend on Blossom's cold breath to keep the ice cream from melting."

"That is also very useful."

She giggled then sighed. "Yeah."

I wanted to wrap my arm around her waist and pull her closer. I knew she would freak out if I did though.

Suddenly, I realised that her eyes were red and a bit puffy.

"Buttercup have you been crying?" I tried to keep my voice calm but I must say I was surprised. Buttercup rarely every cried and if she did then she didn't cry in front of people.

She sighed. "Yes I have." I was even more shocked that she didn't try to deny it…Yep, something's wrong with her.

"What's going on Greenbean?"

She laughed humourlessly then shook her head. "I don't want to talk about right now."

"Oh," I felt kind of disappointed. "Okay, then."

She looked up at me with sorry eyes. "I'll tell you Butch I promise I will; I just don't want to talk about it at this very moment. I would rather just forget about it for a while."

I nodded. "Okay, I can respect that."

She smiled and looked very thankful. "Thank you Butch, for everything."

I felt my cheeks turn a light shade of pink. "No problem Greenbean, anything for you."

She smiled wider and this time, she took her hand out of her pocket and held mine. She squeezed it. There is totally something going on with her…Oh well, I like that she's holding my hand, besides I'll probably find out later. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my walk with her.

Honestly, we haven't talked like that in ages! We laughed and talked about the most random things ever! We talked about the online web comic we read and about how that was pretty much the only thing we read.

"I don't understand how Blossom and Bubbles don't like it! How could you not like it!?" She said.

I laughed. "I know! It's awesome! It has trolls and everything!"

Buttercup laughed.

We also talked about some of the pranks we did when we were younger and how close we were from getting caught.

"Remember that time when we shot off fireworks from the tops of the buildings?" I asked her.

Her face lit up. "How could I forget? We freaking had to jump fences and run through people's backyard to get away from the cops."

"I don't get why we didn't just fly away."

"Obviously because they'd see the green streaks and know who it was! But it was okay in the end because we got away!"

"How long ago was that?"

She shrugged. "I don't know we were like…13?"

I laughed. "Oh my gosh."

She shook her head but still had a smile on her face. "I miss those days."

I looked at her and smiled. "Yeah, me too."

*Princess' POV*

My daddy hates me! He officially hates me! He won't get me out of this stupid jail and now I'm stuck in here with Him and that stupid ugly green monkey! To make matters worse now I'm stuck only wearing the colour orange! ORANGE! Daddy hates me!

I looked over and saw Mojo and Him talking at the edge of the jail cell. Ever since we landed in here (about a week ago) they're been trying to come up with a plan to escape. Well, now I am officially convinced that none of their plans will ever work! Why would they?! Mojo and Him had a perfectly good plan last time and did they win?! NO! They freaking failed and now I'm here living in a small little square with them!

"How are we going to give Brick's powers back?" Him asked Mojo.

"We're not.

"We're not?!"

"Of course we're not! Don't be stupid! He turned against us, our sons turned against us! If we just give Brick his powers back then we will be helping them defeat us! It's better to leave it alone!"

I sighed and folded my hands across my chest. "Why don't you just give up?!" I shouted to them.

They turned to look at me.

"What?" Demanded Him through his teeth.

"Just give up! You've failed a million times! Actually, both of you have lost count of how many times the Powerpuff Girls have defeated you! Just except the face that you are never going to win!"

Suddenly, Him grabbed my throat, picked me up, and pinned me against the wall, I started coughing and choking.

"Listen here Princess," He spat my name, I continued coughing. "I am not going to stop trying to defeat those Powerpuff Girls until they are dead! Do you understand me?!"

I nodded gasping and pleading for air. "Not only have they made my life hell but they have made it personal by turning the Rowdyruffs against us too…"

My lungs screamed at me for air. I started kicking my legs, the more I moved though, the more Him gripped my throat. "Please!" I choked out. "Let me breathe!"

Him let go of my throat and let me drop to the ground. I starting coughing and gasping all the precious air in, although right after that I continued to cough some more until I started vomiting.

Him gave me a disgusted look and went back to work out something with Mojo. I began to cry, never in my life have I ever regretted something so badly..

I hope you like this! I really like this! Please review your thoughts and such! Oh and sorry for any grammar mistakes, sometimes when I'm reading through it I don't catch some things. So yeah, thanks for reading!
