Pearl lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. Garnet hadn't talked to her in a few weeks, and she wondered why Garnet kept refusing to talk to her for such a long period.
Last time they had talked was shortly after Pearl's regeneration.
"Pearl," the tall gem said in a stoic tone.
"What is it?"
"That was irresponsible, talking to Steven before you had even finished the duel. You could have died."
Pearl gave an upset glare. "It was my fault for that, I must admit, but why did you care? You knew that I wasn't fatally wounded, Garnet. Steven dealt with this better, and he hadn't ever even seen this situation before!"
Garnet just walked away.
Pearl frowned. They had never actually fought before, at least like that. She walked off, going back to her room to consider what just happened.
Garnet had avoided Pearl for a few weeks now. Even in battle, she didn't speak to her, simply fought away from Pearl.
It was as they said, the opposite of love was not hate, but in fact apathy instead. It stung in Pearl's heart, like a hornet piercing through.
Garnet looked at Pearl, silent. She felt upset, with herself, and with Pearl.
She loved Pearl deeply, but never showed it. But since their argument, she had refused to talk to Pearl. It felt like a childish game she was playing, a vow of silence against just one person.
"I miss you," Garnet mouthed towards Pearl while the pale gem wasn't looking at her.
Pearl looked up from her book, and glanced towards Garnet, preparing to talk to Garnet. But Garnet got up and went over to help out Steven before one word escaped from Pearl's mouth.
First chapter done! It's not much, but here it is.
Peace out!
