Dark Eyes
Chapter 1: Night Club Fun
Pearl
"I'm not going."
"Whaaaat? aww C'mon P-"
"I feel ridiculous." Pearl huffed.
"You look fine! Trust me. This is gonna be a fun night!" Amethyst said circling Pearl in her dorm room.
Pearl shifted uncomfortably at Amethyst's stare. She had Pearl put on butt hugging black shorts under a frilly blue tutu along with a tight blue tank top that showed off everything. With Amethyst decorating her with hundreds of glow sticks she felt like she was going to attract a satellite. If her face could turn anymore red she would fall over and die. Their best friend Rose insisted on going to a rave club to celebrate finals being over before they started their crash course summer classes in two weeks. Pearl didn't want to go because she wanted to get a head start on her homework but Rose and Amethyst both insisted she needed some fun in her life and told her she was going. With the threat of being thrown over Rose's shoulder and carried there, she unwillingly agreed.
"Besides you can take this chance to observe people for your up coming Psychology class." Amethyst said waving her hands near her head "It will be educational."
"Hmm... fine but if I get uncomfortable I'm leaving." Pearl said crossing her arms.
"Fine, lets go! Rose should be waiting for us downstairs!"
Amethyst was in purple skinny jeans and a tube top. Her purple hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail on her head, showing off her tan skin. She was on the heavier side a bit but that never stopped her from having fun and cutting loose. She was always the one to make sure Pearl was included in their group and dragged to every event, wither or not she wanted to.
She grabbed Pearl's hand and yanked her out of Pearl's dorm room and down the hall. When they made it down stairs Rose was waiting by the door smiling and jumping around a bit waving her hand and giggling. "Oh Pearl!, you look so pretty!"
Rose was in a pink and white top with black jeans. She was covered in glowsticks like Pearl. They both looked like aliens as Rose picked her best friend up in a tight hug and spun her around in a circle "You look just like a ballerina!"
Pearls face turned red at her words. She's always had a crush on Rose but never could bring herself to tell her. Even when she found that horrible band singer she kept quiet. Through all her life, being her best friend, how she felt and how she longed to be the one holding her hand as more then just friends, she kept quiet. She watched her do impulsive things forgetting about consequence, always remaining quiet. Some times she wishes Rose would think about her life and worry about herself but quiet she always remained.
"Lets go, Garnet is gonna meet us there." Rose said putting Pearl down and grabbing her hand, dragging her out the dorm building doors "She's bringing some old friends from her boxing club with her. Oh maybe we'll get you someone to love Pearl!" she teased.
There's only one person I want, Pearl thought as she was dragged along behind Rose and Amethyst.

The lights were flashing rapidly through the club. The music was blasting something with heavy bass and the floor shook and vibrated with everyone dancing. Pearl felt like her head was going to explode. This was far from her definition of fun. She rather be back in her room curled up with a good book. She was going to say something to Rose but before she could Rose squealed loudly and yanked her across the floor.
"Garnet!" Rose called over the music "Look who I got to come with us!"
Pearl looked up as Rose held there hands high over there head.
Standing at a tall table were Garnet and a few of her boxing friends. Garnet was in a one peace body suit that seamed to glow with the club lights. Her friends Ruby and Sapphire were standing next to her dawning matching red and blue dance outfits. The three of them looked stunning. They could run the runway and pull it off.
When Garnet waved back the last person at her table looked up, making Pearls heart stop. Garnets friend stood straight up, making her tower over everyone else in there group. As they came up to the table, Pearl was able to get a good look at her. She was easily taller then Garnet, even with her afro. Her friend seemed to kiss seven feet tall. Her skin was a dark tan color with... was that vitiligo? The rapid light changes made it hard to tell. Her hair was a wild mess of blonde and white that twisted together, seeming to glow in the club. She was in tight black pants and an even tighter black tank top, showing off her ripped body. The glowsticks on her arms made her muscles pop. She looked ready to fight more then party. If she remembered correctly her name was Jasper. She was the head of the Boxing team right above Garnet. Pearl had seen her around before but she never looked approachable. She was always hanging around the dorm room druggy Lapis Lazuli. The way they interacted, it came off as a bad mixed up relationship.
Jasper smirked when she caught Pearl looking her over and smiled even bigger when Pearl looked away embarrassed.
"C'mon, lets dance!" Rose said letting go of Pearl and grabbing Garnets hand this time, yanking her onto the dance floor. The others followed onto the floor except Pearl. She stood against the wall with her arms crossed. This wasn't fun at all to her. She felt ridiculous in this outfit. That was the last time Amethyst was ever going to dress her. She felt like such a whore!
"C'mon P" Amethyst called over the music after seeing Pearl not coming with them.
She grabbed Pearls hand and dragged her out onto the dance floor. They all made their way into the center of the floor slowly. With the music pounding and lights flashing the air was electrified. Pearl found her self smiling slightly as glowsticks rained down on them. The crowd roared as the music picked up. Pearl swayed to the music, having Sapphire joining her, before she just couldn't do it anymore. She wanted to have fun. She really did but with all the people shoving and screaming around her she felt trapped. She watched the others grind and jump around having a blast. She wanted to feel like they did but it just wasn't working.
I knew this was a bad idea, Pearl thought as she turned and made her way off the floor and back to their table. She went back to leaning against the wall as her eyes fixed on a colored light and just watched it change.
Pearl was so lost in her self brooding that she didn't see someone walk up to her. They tried talking to her but Pearl hadn't even noticed them. They eventually got annoyed and grabbed Pearls face, forcing her to look at them. She yelped in surprise at the sudden touch. Her heart sank as her eyes met someone else. She tried to pull away but they didn't let her face go.
"Hey I'm talking to you." The guy said frowning at Pearl. "Are you so stuck up that your going to ignore me?"
"N-No."
Pearl frowned trying to pull away again. This guys breath stank of something strong. It made her want to gag. She looked past him to the dance floor for the others. Her eyes scanned the crowd as this guy drowned on and on in her face.
When her eyes landed on Rose she was smiling. Pearl made a pleading face but Rose mistook it for confidence and gave her a thumbs up before turning back to the music.
No, Rose! Please help me, Pearl thought as the guy let go of Pearls face and moved to grab her arm. Her eyes scanned in a panic for the others but she didn't see any of them as she felt the guys fingers close around her arm. Where did they go!?
"Lets go somewhere more private" He hissed starting to pull Pearl towards the door.
"N-No" Pearl said trying to pull away. Her voice was lost to the music and the guy just yanked harder on her arm.
Someone, anyone, please help me
The man kept yanking Pearl forward, dragging her closer to the doors. Her heart was pounding in her ears. The lights and music started to disorient her. She was dragged through the crowd, feeling helpless. She never felt more scared for her self then she did now. What's going to happen when they get outside? Was he going to drug her? Kidnap her? Her mind raced with horrible possibilities. Her eyes closed tight as she saw the doors getting closer. Was she going to die? When the night air hit her form she shivered and felt like her heart was about to stop.
Suddenly another hand on her free arm stopped her in her tracks.
"Hey, What gives?" The guy pulling Pearl snapped looking back.
"There you are." A rough but gentle voice said "Your sister's looking for you."
Pearl opened her eyes to see Jasper's tall muscular figure behind her. Her hand was tight on Pearl's arm, making sure she didn't go anywhere. Jasper was studying her face. She couldn't help but wince in pain from how hard the guy was holding her arm. She felt herself start to tremble as he pulled on her arm again.
"We'll be back in a minute. We're just going out for a smoke real fast." The guy said trying to pull Pearl forward but Jasper didn't let her move. She kept her grounded. Her gaze was shooting daggers at the man trying to yank Pearl away. Jaspers eyes then locked onto Pearls arm. It was turning red where that guys held her. Her pale skin didn't look good red.
"It will only be a minute." The guy said angerly yanking on Pearl's arm, making her yelp in pain. "What's your problem?"
Pearl's yelp made Jasper suddenly angry. She stepped forward and grabbed the mans arm that was holding onto Pearl.
"Let go." Jasper growled.
"You let go." The man said "She's my catch, back off."
"She's not an object." Jasper hissed through clenched teeth. Her hand started to tighten around the guys. The guy started to yell at her before starting to shriek in pain.
"Your gonna crush my arm!" The guy yelled trying to get out of Jaspers grasp but not letting go of Pearl. His hand started to tighten around Pearl's arm while his nails dug into her skin, making her suck in a breath of pain.
It took Pearl's gasp of pain to snap Jasper out of her trance of wanting to crush the guys arm just enough to see tears streaming down Pearl's face. She yanked the guy off Pearl, throwing her behind herself a little too forcibly, before picking the guy up by the collar and screamed in his face "Do you want to die you sack of crap?! How DARE you hurt her!"
Pearl was shaking on the ground. Her trembling arms held herself together. Her arms felt like they were burning. She could feel her blood sliding down her arm through her fingers. She watched as it rolled over the glowsticks, making them turn eerie colors.
Jasper's sudden yelling was ringing in her ears so hard that it jolted her to her feet. She had to get away from here.
She just turned and started running. She just ran and ran until she found herself back at her dorm building. She ran through the lobby, ignoring the people calling her name, and up into her room. She slammed that door then ran into the bathroom, slamming that door as well. Her body just gave out on her and she sank to the floor.
The tears were slow at first but then turned into a river down her face. She just cried and cried on the floor. Why did this stuff always happen to her? They go to a party with Rose, she gets drugged and almost rapped. They go to the park, She was almost killed by a dog. They go riding there bikes, she gets hit by a car, and now? Rose says they should go celebrate but Pearl was again, almost hurt. If it wasn't for Jasper...
Sudden banging at her door made her jump. She could hear Ruby and Sapphire on the other side of the door calling her name.
"I'm-I'm here" Pearl called out weakly.
She heard her door open before the bathroom door jiggled. They couldn't get in from Pearl sitting in the way.
"Pearl." Sapphire said "Can you let us in?"
When Pearl didn't answer she spoke again. "We just want to make sure your ok. We saw you leaving when Jasper ran after you-"
"I'm fine." Pearl said cutting her off. "Please just... just go away."
"Are you sure?" Ruby said shuffling her feet. "We saw you running off. We ran after you- are you sure you wanna be alone?"
Pearl's silence was enough answer for them. After telling her they were here if she needed them, they left her to her thoughts.
Pearl shook her head and held it in her hands as her arms burned. Did Jasper see everything, or was it just a convent thing she was going outside? They said Jasper ran after her. Did she see her plea for help from Rose? Was she the only one who actually saw her face? Who felt her pleading soul in those few moments?
Pearl lost herself in her thoughts, just curling up in a ball on the floor, trying to forget everything.

Jasper
Jasper had tunnel vision the second she saw Rose's friend. She looked the small woman up and down as Rose dragger her over. She was so thin and slender. She looked like a dancer. Her cute pink hair framed her face in a way that made her eyes sparkle. Her cloths were tight and revealing. The glowsticks lining her arms were more then she had ever seen someone wear all at once.
Jasper found herself not able to stop staring as Rose droned on and on. It took her a few minutes of Rose's babbling to remember her friends name was Pearl. She had seen her around campus but never really worked up the courage to talk to her. She always looked so distant and lost in her own thoughts. She was always in cloths that covered her full body, nothing like what she had on now.
How would she ever get someone like Pearl to notice her? To look in her direction and smile out of being happy to see her rather then fear of getting beat up.
Jasper was built to fight and towered over everyone and everything practically. Her height and muscles made most people avoid her. She was intimidating. Scary. A force to be reckoned with. It was why her only friends were other scary people and druggies.
She wanted to talk to Pearl but she wasn't sure how. Maybe she could just walk up and start talking to her? No...No that would probably scare her. Jasper stood there thinking about how to get Pearl to talk to her when Rose spoke up.
"Lets go dance!" Rose said letting go of Pearl and grabbing Garnet.
Dancing! That's how she could get close to Pearl. She could dance with her a bit and see if she was afraid of her. Who could be scared on a dance floor?
They all filtered onto the dance floor, making there way to the center of the crowd. When glowsticks were thrown into the crowd everyone jump and cheer, Jasper joining in with vigor. As the volume went up so did the pace of the lights. Jasper found herself lost in the rhythm with Amethyst and Ruby grooving out with her. The music was making her ears ring, making everything melt away with the others. With the music, she was in her own world. There was no pain in her head, in her heart. For a moment she was free to the rhythm.
"She looks so happy." Rose squealed over the music, pulling Jasper out of her head.
She blinked a few times before remembering her plan. She looked around the group for Pearl but didn't see her. Was she so small that she got lost in the crowd?
She slowed down to a steady sway back and forth as she looked at Rose. Jasper followed Roses gaze to there table. Pearl was leaning against the wall with some guy really close to her. Jasper felt her heart wither a bit at the sight. For a strange reason it made Jasper a little jealous to see someone so close to Pearl.
From here Pearl looked... happy? No, not happy... but something.
Jaspers eyes were glued to them as the guy roughly grabbed Pearls face, making her angry suddenly. The spike of jealousy got bigger in Jasper's chest as she watched. The guy talked a bit before Pearl's eyes wondered over to the group. Out of the corner of her eye, Jasper saw Rose give her a thumbs up before turning away "Lets let her be. She needs to get laid." Rose laughed as Jasper kept staring.
When the guy moved and grabbed Pearl's arm she looked scared. Jasper stopped dancing as she watched them exchange a few words before turning to the door.
"Dose Pearl smoke?" Jasper called over the music to Amethyst who was grinding away on the floor.
"No, why?" Amethyst answered as Jasper's eyes met Pearl's for a second.
Anger built up more as Jasper saw the scared look on Pearl's face, in her eyes. She pushed her way through the crowd of people as the others called after her. It seemed the faster she moved, the more people were getting in the way. She was fighting the tide while trying to swim out to sea.
Jasper could see the back of Pearl's head towards the door. The adrenalin was pushing through her veins, making her crazy. When she finally reached the door she saw Pearl just a few feet ahead of her. She saw her pulling back against the guy dragging her and before she knew it, Jasper's hand had reached out and grabbed Pearl's free arm.
She took a step up behind Pearl as the guy turned and frowned at her. He was saying something but her gaze was fixed on Pearl's face, trying to read it. She was trying to keep her face calm but Pearl was giving off hits of terror in her eyes. Flickers of pain passed over Pearl's face. Then she felt it, the trembling. Pearl's arm was shaking in her hand where she anchored her to the ground.
"There you are" Jasper spit out "Your sisters looking for you."
The guy was saying something else but Jasper went from shooting daggers at him to looking to where he held Pearl's arm. She didn't like it. Her pale skin was turning red and it made Jasper twitch in annoyance.
When Pearl suddenly yelped in pain, Jasper's eyes flashed to her face for a moment before looking at the guy. She stepped forward grabbing the guys arm in her massive hand and squeezing. "Let go." She growled at him.
The man started to yell at her "She's my catch, back off."
"She's not an object." She hissed at him. Her hand clenched his tight making his yelling becoming painful. The anger in her chest was becoming a hard pressure.
"Your going to break my arm!" He yelled. As the guy spoke she herd Pearl take a sharp breath. She turned to see Pearl in tears, her arm was staring to bleed where the man was still holding onto her. His nails were digging deep into Pearl's skin. She could see her ivory skin start to go from red to purple.
It sent Jasper into overdrive. She ripped the man off Pearl, tossing her behind herself protectively. She grabbed the man by the collar and screamed in his face. "How dare you hurt her you sack of crap! Do you wanna die?!"
The man spit in Jasper face and she snapped. She dropped him and sacked him hard in the jaw. One punch after another landed in the guys face. Each punch was met with screams from the crowd outside. Each contact of skin sent blood flying out of the guys face. The guy was flailing around, trying to hit Jasper but failing. Jasper ducked and moved like she was in the ring. Each punch she landed made her anger spread through her body. She found herself smiling as she beat the guy into the ground.
"Don't you EVER touch her again!" Jasper yelled as she felt several pairs of arms on her, pulling her back "Ill kill you you son of a-"
A string of profanities left Jasper's mouth like a river as Garnet, Ruby, and Sapphire, were pulling her back off the bloody heap on the ground. They all had a hand on her belt as were pulling as hard as they could. Rose and Amethyst were pushing her back by her shoulders. It took all five of them to start dragging Jasper backwards.
"Jasper stop." Ruby said in her ear as they struggled to move her massive frame.
"Its over." Sapphire grunted.
"Its not worth it." Garnet added.
"Not worth it?!" Jasper yelled. As they rounded the corner to the parking lot Jasper's screaming didn't end till the mans beat up body was out of her sight.
"Get off!" Jasper snapped yanking herself away from everyone's grasp.
"What were you thinking?! Starting a fight like that!" Rose yelled at Jasper. "Are you trying to get us all band?"
"He started it!" Jasper yelled back. "Pearl was in trouble!"
"Oh yea!? Well then where's Pearl? Since you beat up her date back there we should ask her." Rose hissed. "Unless you hit her first."
"What!? She needed help! I threw her behind me to get her out of the guys arms. She was right behind me!" Jasper snapped as reality started to creep back into her head "She was.."
"Why did you do that? Pearl was about to get laid." Rose said not even listening to a thing Jasper said "She's so uptight, she needed that and you ruined it for her."
"She needed that? Did you not see how scared she was! She was trembling when I got outside!" Jasper said coming down from her adrenaline rush. "She was scared. I didn't want... I didn't like the way he-"
"Why do you care about who Pearl hooks up with?" Rose said crossing her arms "You have Lapis, you should worry about your drugged out girlfriend over someone who isn't important to you."
Rose was angry. Her pink hair was bouncing as she turned and stormed off "Your just too much! Come on guys, lets go back inside."
Jasper felt heavy as lead. Why did she do that? Why did she get so protective over Pearl? Someone who doesn't even see her existence. The way that guy touched Pearl made Jasper so mad, so protective over someone who wasn't even hers. It made her blood boil at the sight of Pearl's tears. Her breath of pain drove her crazy. Why was she the bad guy for helping her?!
"We'll catch up with you!" Garnet called after Rose as her and Amethyst made there way back around front. "Are you ok Jasper?"
She huffed out in annoyance as she pulled out her pack of cigarettes and a lighter. "That pipsqueak couldn't land a single punch."
As she lite her cigarette Ruby and Sapphire whispered something in Garnet's ear before turning and speaking to Jasper. "We're going to go find Pearl."
"I should-"
"What you should do" Garnet said cutting her off "Is stay here and calm down. You don't talk to people nice when your upset."
Jasper grumbled as she blew a smoke ring up into the air. "Fine."
"Don't worry Jasper." Sapphire said looking back over her shoulder "We'll find Pearl."
When the happy couple was far enough away Garnet turned to Jasper and spoke. "Why did you help Pearl?"
Jasper frowned flicking the extra ash off her cigarette before speaking. "I don't know. I just saw that she was scared and my body moved on its own."
"Do you like her?" Garnet asked leaning against a car.
Jasper paused at Garnet's question. Did she like Pearl? Before she had a chance to process her thoughts her phone started to ring. She fished it out of her pocket and rolled her eyes as she answered it "Yes Lapis?"
"Where are you?!"
"I'm out with my boxing club" She frowned taking another drag "Get off my back."
"Your out sleeping with random girls again aren't you! Your so unbelievable!"
"So what if I am? Least they know how to shut up and be good in bed. Something you need practice with in both departments."
"You know what?!" Lapis screamed in the phone "Just off yourself you defective reject! We're done!"
With a click Jasper looked up at the sky and frowned. The amount of drugs to make up with her this time was going to cost her a fortune.
"You shouldn't feed her habit." Garnet commented as Jasper put the rest of her cigarette out on the bottom of her shoe.
"Buzz off." Jasper growled shoving her hands deep into her pockets as she started walking back towards campus.
Note: Music played a big part in a lot of the chapters. I'll do my best to put them down so you know what enspired he scene or setting.
The song playing in the club is I Like To Move It 2016 edit
