Chapter 8

Note: So I decided not to end it at Chapter 8. Unfortunately there is cost for this. Just read to find out what I mean.

"STEVEN!"

That was what Steven heard as he turned around to see Lion and Gems come through a pink portal. He wasn't surprised really, he kind of expected this to happen. Lion stopped within a few feet away from Steven.(Maybe about 10ft) They quickly stepped down and they were about to move forward when they noticed Steven hold the knife. They ended up staring at each with the Gems shocked and didn't know how to approach this. Steven's dilemma had spiraled out of control. Now he didn't know to carry though with his deed or let the Gems talk to him. After what seemed like hour, Pearl began to step forward.

"Steven, We-" The second she started moving Steven took a step back and brought the knife back up to his throat.

"Stay Back!" he shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

Pearl immediately stopped dead in her tracks. She started to walk back slowly showing her hands up.

"Steven, please we have to talk to you," Pearl called out. Steven just looked at them with tears all over his face.

"What is there to talk about?" Steven replied. "Can't you see, I'm going to make thing right." Steven was smiling weakly as he said that. "Now when I'm gone I don't have to make you sad now. Isn't that what you want!"

The Gems didn't know how deal with this situation. They knew he would feel upset and betrayed but they didn't expect he would go to commit suicide.

"Steven, this isn't want we want," Garnet said trying to be reassuring. "We don't want to lose you!"

"That's right Steven, we're not the Crystal Gems without you," Amethyst said, trying to get involved.

"Yes, we can't lose another person we care about," Pearl added. Steven then frowned at them. The sadness then turned to anger.

"Oh, I see what's going on her!" roared Steven, "You all are here because you think I'm making a big mistake. While you guys really think that I'm the big mistake."

"No Steven, that's not true," Garnet protested.

"Well that's not what Pearl was saying," Steven added with more anger in his voice.

"Steven, no, I didn't mean-" Pearl started.

"Oh, don't give me that," Steven interrupted. "I knew you all felt this way for while, and now what has been said has now shoot me like an arrow, and I don't know if the wound will heal. Not even healing powers can mend this."

"But Steven what about Greg, Connie, and Lion," Lion made a noise after that. "What about them. Don't they matter?" Garnet continued.

"Yes, what about them?" Pearl added. She was trying to hold back her tears that were forming behind her eyes. Steven forgot about them. He thought how they would feel if he did go through with it.

'Now what do I do? I don't what my dad or Connie for be affected by this? Maybe I shouldn't?' All these questions were going through his head. Then another thought came to him.

"You do have point there," Steven began, "But I don't think they'll truly understand what I go through."

"What do you mean?" asked Amethyst. They were started to get confused. This is now starting to go downhill.

"I mean that no one will understand me. No humans or even you guys. Because I'm just a hybrid, I'm one of a kind. No one in this whole universe is like me. I'm all alone. So what's the point of going on around knowing that there's no one that truly understand my suffering." He then started to bring the knife back up to his throat.

"STEVEN!" They shouted.

"Please Steven don't do this," Pearl begged. Her eyes began fill with tears that were beginning to stream down her face.

"I'm sorry. But it's something I have to do," Steven said as he turned his back on them. "I didn't ask for any of this. I couldn't control for what happened to her." Some more tears began to cascade down his face. "When I was born, you all didn't want to look at me. You guys hated me."

"No, no, Steven, we never hated you when you came," Amethyst started, "Only Pearl." Once that was said Garnet slapped her face in frustration.

'You did not just say that,' Garnet thought.

"HEY!" Pearl was taken at back for this. "You can't pin the whole thing on me."

"Well it's true," Amethyst replied.

"Come on you two," Garnet reprimanded, "Not now."

"See!" Steven blurted out, "all of you are arguing. I bet if my Mom was here we wouldn't have all these arguing. This is just another thing I caused. And know I have to end it." He took a deep breath.

"STEVEN! NO!" Pearl quickly stepped forward to try and stop Steven before he cut himself. It seemed like everything was in slow motion. Pearl tried desperately to try and stop him. She ran as fast as she could.

But not fast enough.

She was too late.

Steven pulled the knife though his neck and he quickly shrieked in pain. He then fell backward. He was about to hit the ground until Pearl caught him just in time and then lowered him gently. At that moment Garnet, Amethyst, and Lion ran up to them. They we're just in a huge state of shock. When they reached them, they all crowded around them. Garnet didn't what to do, Amethyst was panicking, and Pearl was just balling.

"No! No! No!" was all Pearl said. She then put her hand over the wound to try and stop the bleeding. It wasn't working to well. Blood kept flowing from his throat. It was all over Steven and Pearl's clothing. Steven was still conscious, but barely. There was still tears in his eyes.

"Good bye," he said as he began to lose consciousness. "Thanks for trying. Tell Dad that I love him. And if you see Connie, tell her that..."

That was all he was able to say. Before he passed out, he can see the Gems look so distraught. Pearl was cradling him in her arms crying. Garnet and Amethyst we're crying as well. He couldn't see property, but he could have sworn he saw a small tear from Lion as well.

Then everything went black.

Although it may seem hopeless now, don't worry because this is not over yet.

Also for clarification, Steven is not completely dead. He just passed out from blood lose.

If you feel sad, or even crying, I would like to apologize for that. I actually already had the idea for it in the beginning but I was originally going to write it out because I thought it was probably going to be too depressing. So after some self debating, and some a couple of you guys said I shouldn't end this so soon, so I decided to keep it in.

So don't worry, I'm not ending it like this.(Why would why?) So thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter. Bye :)
