Jasper was not having a good day. Saying that it wasn't good, was also a complete understatement. Her girlfriend had been caught cheating on her, and to cope with that fact she had been sitting in her apartment downing shots of vodka.

Jasper had an anger problem, so if she had been mildly irritated before, she was now completely ticked off. She squeezed the empty bottle in her fist until the glass shattered, piercing her flesh and slicing it wide open.

The pain felt great. It took away the heartbreak buried under her rage. She pulled a chunk of the crystalline glass from her palm, and slid it down her arm; the feeling of the warm liquid trickling down her fingertips made her feel elated. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes, enjoying the release of endorphin's into her brain.

The high she felt didn't last long. No, she really needed to get her blood pumping. She pulled the rest of the glass pieces from her palm, and found some gauze to wrap around her arm. She grabbed her keys off her bookshelf, knocking over a photo onto the floor.

She picked it up and looked at it for a second before snapping the frame in half, and shredding the photo into tiny little pieces. She sat in her car, and went to start it. She paused, and instead put the keys in her pocket and got out of the vehicle. Where she was going, she didn't need the car. She was too drunk to drive anyway.

She shoved her hands into the pockets of her black denim skinny jeans, and stared at her converse clad feet while she walked. She turned down a dark alleyway between two large apartment complexes.

"Jasper!"

The large, muscular woman turned slightly, and stared right at her ex-girlfriend, Peridot. Peridot pushed her black wayfarer's against her nose, and stared at the ground.

Jasper fully turned to face the blonde woman who caused her to drink so profusely. She hated herself for falling so hard for that pathetic nerd; for allowing herself to be weak enough to be broken so easily.

"What the hell do you want?" She growled, clenching her fists and glaring at her ex.

"Have you been drinking? Why are your arms all bandaged up...?"

"What do you care? Get the fuck outta here before I beat your face in."

"See, that's exactly why this happened. You never want to talk about anything, you only ever want to fight. Those fists aren't going to carry you through college, or through life. They'll definitely get you thrown into prison though, if that's what you want!" Peridot chastised her.

Jasper gritted her teeth and ran at Peridot. Something grabbed her around the waist and slammed her back against the cold ground. She grabbed hold of a steel-toed boot and pulled, causing her attacker to go down to the ground next to her.

She jumped up, and saw her attacker as Almandine, the person she was looking for.

Almandine was feared in this neighborhood for being a ruthless antagonist. She hassled younger kids, and beat the shit out of anyone who crossed paths with her. She was built smaller than Jasper, but she was quicker and used Jasper's size against her when they fought.

"What's up, dike?" Almandine cussed, standing up and taking a fighting stance. She flipped her cherry-colored hair out of her face and clenched her fists.

"The fuck did you just call me?"

"DIKE. I believe it accurately describes your love for carpet-munching. Also explains why you're so hard up all the time."

Jasper slugged her left fist directly into Almandine's jaw, feeling the skin slough off her knuckles. The other woman was hardly fazed. She countered with a kick into Jasper's side, before uppercutting her in the jaw. Jasper stumbled backwards, before falling to one knee in front of the other woman.

"Y.D sends her regards." Almandine kicked Jasper in the head; her skull hit the pavement and she lost consciousness.

Jasper's eyes fluttered open. She expected to be laying in the middle of the street still. She wasn't. She was actually laying on her own couch with a pillow under her head and a blanket pulled over her.

"What the fuck..." She sat up, and felt her head. Every wound on her body was bandaged. That didn't stop her head from feeling like it was going to explode though.

"You're awake!" A voice from her small kitchen called, startling her. She turned her face and laid eyes on a truly beautiful sight.

An extremely attractive woman stood in her kitchen, smiling warmly back at her. The woman came into the living room, giving her a better view. This girl had short shoulder length blue hair, and gorgeous azure blue eyes. Her skin was pearly white and flawless. She tucked her hair behind her ear nervously as Jasper looked her over.

"Hi, I bet you're wondering why I'm in your apartment..." The girl said softly.

"Actually yeah, what the hell?"

"Sorry I..."

"Get out!" Jasper yelled, causing the girl to jump a little.

"I was just..."

Jasper grabbed the girl by her scrawny wrists and drug her to the door. She opened it and shoved her out, slamming the door in her face. She dead bolted the door and slumped against it, putting her face in her hand.

What was a beautiful girl like that doing in her apartment? She almost felt bad for tossing her out, but she was the one who had trespassed. She hated seeming weak in front of people, especially pretty girls...

The beefy twenty year old college sophomore went to the couch and plopped down on it, kicking her feet up onto the coffee table. She knocked over old beer cans and pizza boxes. Now that she thought about it, that blue haired girl seemed familiar...

Jasper found herself sitting in her required American Literature class, staring at the back of the blue haired girl's head. It was two months in and she never noticed her siting there. She was soon reminded why.

Peridot sat behind her, and Jasper felt her eyes burning in the back of her head. The only reason she was even in college was because Peridot made her go so they could be together. Having a nerd as a girlfriend was very handy, seeing as how she had done all her homework for her.

"Jasper." The professor called her out, and everyone turned to look at her, except for the blue haired girl.

"Sup."

"I know you think this isn't worth your time. Maybe you should just leave my classroom. It's not worth my time to try and teach you."

"Whatever." Jasper stood, kicked her desk into the wall and slinked out of the classroom. She ran her hand through her hair, feeling the undercut she had gotten earlier in the week.

If life was determined to shit on her, she was gonna at least enjoy herself while she still could.

Sh took herself out to the back of the building next to the dumpsters, where a group of stoners hung out all the time. A short, curvy girl with lavender colored hair noticed her and waved her over.

"Yo, J-Squad! Long time no see!"

"Amethyst." She fist pounded the smaller girl and was handed a half-smoked joint. She took a drag and held it in, passing and breathing out a puff of smoke. A tall skinny boy took it; he had skull shaped plugs in his ears.

"So, did you hear about the party at Buck's? They're gonna have beer kegs and lots of tequila." Amethyst said, cracking her knuckles and stretching.

"No, I didn't. What about the cops?"

"Buck's Dad is outta town on some business trip, no one's calling the cops tonight."

"Sweet. I'll be there."

Jasper arrived at Buck's party that night and went straight to the back cupboard for the hard liquor. Before anyone could say anything, she had downed enough tequila to knock a grown man on his ass; she also took the time to fill up a flask and shove it in her shirt.

She felt great. Nothing could kill her buzz at this point, not even Peridot's cold stares from the opposite end of the house.

Then, she felt herself thrown against a wall, and she focused her gaze on the one who attacked her.

"Hey lesbo, I thought I left you for dead last night." Almandine hissed, pinning Jasper against the wall with her arm across her neck.

"Fuck... off..." She managed to groan. Luckily for her, the alcohol was giving her no filter, and jump-started an adrenaline rush. She pushed back against the red-headed bully, and dodged away under some server's arms. She could hear Almandine yelling for her, but she managed to get outside.

She sat against the wall of the house and sighed to herself. She took a swig of drink from her flask. The warming liquid ran straight through her body, and settled in her groin. She suddenly felt extremely horny.

"You know, you shouldn't cut yourself."

Jasper gulped and looked up at the blue-haired girl from her lit class. She had a really concerned look on her face, and she was so damned cute.

"Oh, and breaking into someone's home is better?" She retorted, standing up and meeting her gaze.

A blush rose to the girl's cheeks, and she tucked her hair behind her hair nervously.

"Buck and I were walking home from the movies and we saw you there in the alley. I couldn't just leave you, you were badly injured... Besides, I knew where you lived, and you don't apparently lock your door..."

Jasper impulsively grabbed hold of the girl's wrist, and she let out a little yelp.

"Come here, brat. What's your name anyway?"

"L-Lapis! Lapis Lazuli. And that hurts! What are you doing?"

Jasper shoved Lapis against the wall and pressed her thick lips against the other's thinner ones. Electricity pulsed through her body, and the drunken stupor threatened to take over. She brushed her hand against Lapis' breast, and the smaller woman squirmed against her.

Lapis ripped her wrist away and jabbed her elbow into Jasper's ribs, causing her to cringe in pain and clutch her side. She watched as Lapis' eyes brimmed with tears and she clenched her fists. She turned and ran back into the house, leaving Jasper alone, sulking in her misery.
