Garnet and Pearl entered the house, Garnet unsure of what she would say to the others. She was surprised to see Amethyst sitting on the couch, waiting and Steven siting next to her. When they entered, Amethyst stood up and immediately went to took her hand and looked at her wrist, at the red bruise that covered at lot of her wrist. She sighed at looked at Steven. Steven nodded and approached as well. He took Pearl by the hand and led her into the kitchen to treat her wound. It was silent for a moment. "Amethyst I.."
She was interrupted when Amethyst suddenly struck her across the face. Her glasses fell off her face and clattered on the floor next to her. Normally, she would have been very angry, but she knew that she deserved what she got, so she said nothing. Instead she got down and picked up her glasses. "What were you thinking?" amethyst demands.
"That's just it. I wasn't thinking." Garnet answered back. "I didn't mean to hurt her. I was just so angry." she admitted, with shame in her voice.
"Well you need to think more!" Amethyst yelled. It was a bit surprising to Garnet, how their roles were being switched so drastically. "Pearl needs us right now! And you go and tell her to get rid of her baby! And when she refuses, you hurt her! What is wrong with you?" Garnet didn't answer, as she really didn't know how to answer her. It was then that Pearl left the kitchen, a white bandage around her wrist.
"Steven," she was saying as she stared at her wrist. "This wasn't really necessary. I'm not bleeding." She stopped in her tracks and looked up to see Amethyst arguing with Garnet. She was honestly very surprised. why was Amethyst trying so hard to protect her? normally she wouldn't get involved with this sort of thing. if she saw that they had forgiven each other, then she wouldn't try to get involved. So why now?
"I can't believe you'd do something so...so stupid!" Amethyst scolded, a bright purple blush starting to spread across her cheeks from the sheer anger. She raised her hand to strike again, but Pearl was at her side in a heartbeat, grabbing her hand to stop her.
"That's enough Amethyst." she said calmly, dropping her hand. "She understands what she did and she already apologized."
"How can you trust her after what she did?
"Well everyone deserves a second chance." Steven chimed in, easily forgiving. But he was ignored.
"Because I've always trusted her. i know that she didn't mean it, she was angry."
"But what if she gets angry again huh? She'll hurt again and I don't want to see anything happen to you!"
Pearl took a breath and approached Garnet, then laced their fingers together. "Do you want to know why I trust her so much now?" Amethyst just stared at her. "Because..because I love her, and she loves me." Amethysts eyes widened and so did Steven's. Their expressions then changed drastically. One was appalled, the other delighted. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, as if she didn't know what to say, before ducking past them and fleeing to her room. then Pearl looked at Steven who looked amazed.
"Oh, Steven. We meant to tell you some other way eventually." Pearl apologized.
"That's okay!" Steven cheered. "I'm just glad that I got to know about it at all. I knew you loved her Pearl, I just knew it! I'm so glad you finally told her!"
"What? How did you know how I felt?"
"Well you always acted differently around Garnet and you always seem to be blushing when she looks at you." Pearl smiled. But one thing was bothering her a lot. Why did Amethyst seem so...heartbroken why she told her about how she loved Garnet? What could be wrong?
A/N i don't like this chapter to be honest. I like the feeling of it, but I don't like how it came it. I mainly wrote it because i wanted to update soon so..I did. I hope the next chapter will be better.
Do you guys mind Amepearl. it's not going to be an official couple in the story. It's more one-sided. Pearl doesn't have feeling for Amethyst. But...she did have feelings for Rose before she met Greg. Just saying...I ship it all the way! see you next (hopefully better) chapter.
