Peridot was angry. Peridot was upset. Peridot bawled like a child. Of course, Peridot did so where nobody could overhear or find her.
Recently, things had gotten, well, "bad" would be an understatement. Peridot couldn't bear to think about it. She was too upset to even analyze her surroundings. Peridot hid underneath some sheets in her "safe" area. Had she been thinking clearly, she would have heard a certain blue gem walk up behind her.
"P-Peridot?!" The anxiety and worry imminent in the water gem's voice.
Oh, god... Peridot thought, emotion also prominent in her actions. As the blue Gem attempted to get close, Peridot pulled the covers closely around her.
"Why are you people always interrupting me?! Clods..." Peridot was attempting to hide the distress in her voice with her common high-pitched childlike retorts. Of course, the intruding Gem knew that something was wrong.
"Peridot, why are you hiding..?" Concern lingered in the Gem's voice. Quickly regaining her stature, the green gem stood up, tears streaking her face. Peridot once again attempted to act as if normal, and managed to focus. Peridot soon realized her lack of reason during her choice was quickly leading to failure. She's here... I guess I couldn't hide in our bedroom that long... Drat. Alright, Peridot analyzed, Lapis looks genuinely concerned. She still appears in good heath, that's all good. Yellow Diamond hasn't- Oh, God, how do I explain this...
Even though the green Gem had stood up and begun to pull herself together through inner-monologue, Lapis noticed the tears reappear and threaten to roll down her lover's cheeks.
"Peri... focus on me..."
Peridot had begun to lose herself in her fears of what Yellow Diamond had planned for Lapis... They'll torture her... Why did I run..?
Suddenly, Peridot was snapped out of her growing anxiety.
"Peridot!"
Lapis had her hands firmly placed on each of Peridot's cheeks. She made sure Peridot was looking right in her eyes. She had already yelled twice, trying to bring Peridot out of seemingly very dark thoughts. Tears brimmed in Lapis' own eyes as she finally connected with Peridot, Peridot's eyes losing their distant look.
"Lapis..? Oh, Lapis!" Peridot cried out in anguish, finally accepting her partner's support and holding on to Lapis like she might leave at any moment.
"Peridot! What has you so upset?! Please tell me..."
Lapis eventually moved as if to sit on the now-disorganized bed Peridot had been hiding in. Peridot obliged.
"Lapis... I... I can't..."
"Peri, I need you to tell me." The room appeared to have darkened, as if even the house dreaded Peridot's next words.
"Yellow Diamond has terminated our relationship."
A/N: Gotta Go Riordan here. Due to upcoming tests, Ch. 2 might take a good while to come out. No worries! I plan to dedicate to continue writing this story. Constructive criticism is appreciated, and send to me ideas for requested stories. If I like them, I will likely dedicate my time into writing them. Sorry for any grammatical or spelling errors, I do try to edit my work, but since only I edit my work, it can compile into one big mess. Yes, I am a pile of Lapidot trash. DFTBA!
