In the next day, Peridot is the first one to wake up and with a reason for that unexpected action. The blond girl had an idea, during the night, to get in and out her room before her crazy roommate wakes up in the morning. She even got out of Jasper's room without saying goodbye to her new friends. Peridot didn't want to wake them so early in first day of class.
Peridot takes her keys from her pocket to open the door of her room, just to find it already opened. She holds the key and opens the door slowly, looking carefully inside before walking into the place.
Unfortunately, all her efforts ended up as a total failure because Lapis was already awake, when she got there.
Peridot didn't know what to do. She could run, but it wouldn't help her case. The only thing she could do was pretend she didn't see Lapis there, sit on her bed, staring at Peridot with a scaring face.
Peridot walks towards her wardrobe to get her clothes. The next thing she thinks about is running towards the bathroom as quick as possible, locking the door at her first chance. The blond girl pressed her back against the door, taking a deep breath, an action that hurt because of her broken nose.
That pain caused by her crazy roommate gave Peridot the courage she needed to face the other girl. Peridot finally felt all the rage she was keeping for herself. Now, she was like a bomb, ready to explode on Lapis's face.
She changes her clothes and opens the door of the bathroom, finding Lapis sit on the same place she was before, but, this time, looking at nowhere.
"You came back." Lapis says, slowly and hoarsely. "You are not the coward I thought you were." She smiles. "Congratulations."
Peridot places her clothes on her bed and walks towards the other bed, stopping right in front of Lapis.
The brown haired girl looks at her roommate, who crossed the arms.
"What?" Lapis laughs. "Are you angry now? Is the Olivine gonna do something?" She smiles and stands up, getting down at Peridot's height to look into her eyes. "I didn't think so."
The next time Lapis takes a breath, she is being punched on the face by Peridot.
"Stop thinking that you can control me!" Peridot yells. "Stop thinking that I'm here to be your toy to make fun of or to shatter slowly!" She punches Lapis right on the mouth, making the girl bleed. "Stop with this nonsense! I'm done with it! I'm done with you! I'm not gonna let you think that you can hurt me like you were doing!" She pushes Lapis's on her bed. "From now on, this is gonna be a game for two!"
"That is what you think!" Lapis laughs and kicks Peridot's leg. "I am still the one who rules here." She jumps on the other girl.
"I don't think so!" Peridot bites Lapis's arm and punches her towards the floor.
"How are you so sure about that?" Lapis asks, fighting against Peridot's hands on her arms.
"Because I am not gonna let you!" The smaller of the two gives the other one a punch on the stomach, making Lapis not capable of breathing for a second or two.
Peridot stands up and turns her back at Lapis, who is holding her stomach trying to catch her breath. "Have a good day!" The blond one takes her backpack and leaves the room.
Lapis didn't know what the most shocking thing about that morning was. It was probably the fact that Peridot was really strong or the one that she actually fought Lapis back or even both of them. Lapis seriously thought that Peridot would never fight back. In the end, she was wrong.
The brown haired girl stands up and walks towards the bathroom. When she looks at herself on the mirror, she finds the marks Peridot left on her. Lapis touches her lips and that is when she looks at the bracelet around her wrist. The symbol of her heritage and the alliance. The alliance with the other families, old friends of her mother and her later father. The Quartz family, which reminds her of her ex-girlfriend and the Olivine Forsterite family, which reminds Lapis of her roommate, the one who ruined everything for her, Peridot.
Lapis takes off her bracelet and looks at the gem on it, the one she was named after. The lapis lazuli gem that will hunt her for the rest of her life. The thing that will make her work with the ones that she doesn't want to be around.
The girl goes towards her bed, lying down at her first chance. It was too early for all that life regretting thing. She was planning to call her mother later for a little chat anyway, but, for now, she would just stay there, on her bed, looking at Peridot's Camp Pining Hearts poster, which reminded her that she had a fanart to finish later. She places her bracelet back on her wrist and closes her eyes, thinking about her family, her being around Peridot issues and Jasper. Jasper was the reason why this all started, but she couldn't bring herself to get really angry at the other girl.
Lapis actually came to love Jasper, however, her jealously issues made things complicated with her ex-girlfriend and with her father's death things went even more down the hill.
The brown haired girl regrets her choices, sometimes. When she feels lonely, she misses Jasper's hugs, however, when she reminds of her ex aggressive side, she thinks it was right to break up with her. Lapis is not an angel, but Jasper scares her really bad. She never understood how Peridot could be friends with her ex, maybe there is a side of Peridot that she doesn't know yet.
Peridot and Jasper always get along, Lapis never found out why Peridot was not the one chosen by Jasper. Maybe Peridot was not attracted by Jasper, maybe Lapis was the second choice anyway.
Jasper is a transsexual woman and Lapis liked her just the way she is. Lapis couldn't tell she was not born with a girl's body, except for one thing, which Jasper was waiting her graduation on university to do the surgery.
Lapis once said she would be there with Jasper for the surgery. She guess she won't be there anymore. Her ex won't ask her to be there.
Maybe Peridot will be there. Everything Jasper says has Peridot included. It has always been this way when Lapis and Jasper were together.
If Lapis called, they would talk about something Jasper had already spoken with Peridot. When they were together, they would do something Jasper had already done with the other girl. It was always Peridot and she didn't even know her properly back at the time, just things she heard at the hospital. Maybe the timing was wrong for her and Jasper. Lapis gets herself thinking about that. She thinks that Jasper was missing Peridot that time because she was in coma and that is why Jasper just talked about her. However, the brown haired girl could not explain the same actions from Jasper when Peridot was already back from her coma. That was when Lapis gave up and started to fight with Jasper. They broke up after her father's death.
Things were never the same for Lapis and they would never be.
A.n. Hello!
Long time don't see.
I was not publishing anything because it was my last year at school and I was busy, but, now, I am back! Graduated and all!
