Crammed a bunch of shit into one chapter. Forgive me if it feels a little fucked off.
Lapis kept her gaze fixed on her half naked girlfriend with a smile as the AC blew cold air all around them in her old car. A knock came and she leaned up to wipe away a tiny bit of fog from her window to see Jasper and Pearl looking confused. Jasper spoke up:
"Hey in there, Amethyst says after party at her place!" Lapis smirked and wrote her responses on the window:
'C U There.'
"Roll down the fucking window already!"
'Ur BFF is nude.'
"Gross Lazuli, don't get that shit on the dresses!"
'2 Late!' Jasper groaned as Pearl kept her eyes averted. 'TXT address pls.'
"Stupid myspace lingo." Jasper grumbled walking away with her girlfriend texting Lapis the information. They joined the other couple and stayed quiet on the way to Amethyst's house only singing along to the music in the background if they knew it. Jasper kept her hand on Pearl's and took a minute before registering the uneasy feeling of her girlfriend's eyes on her. "You ok sweets?" Pearl smiled at the nickname, it was goofy by it was Jasper so it could be anything in her eyes. Clearing her throat, she took a calming breath before responding.
"Do you ever... have those urges?" Jasper turned bright red looking at the floor for a moment before giving in with her head nodding. Pearl took another breath before leaning on her girlfriend's arms. "I had a dream the other night." Jasper returned her gaze and wrapped one arm around her love. "We were on my bed in the moonlight, just smiling at each other and talking. Then it just kinda happened. It felt so good in my mind but i'm a bit nervous."
"It was a dream sweets, no worries." Jasper whispered kissing her head gently.
"I want to be able to do more with you. I want to be good enough to please you-"
"Your already perfect." Jasper mumbled tightening her hold on her lover. "We go at our own pace, that's what being in love is." Pearl looked up and kissed Jasper with a smile.
"I love you Jasper." The Amazonian chuckled quietly.
"I love you Pearl." Amethyst's snoring could finally be heard over the music and Garnet laughed before deciding to drive just a bit faster.
Lapis pulled her spare clothes onto her girlfriend and herself before folding their dresses and taking them inside for Amethyst to send to the cleaners. Peridot was barely half awake when Lapis finished all of her tasks and joined her in bed. Lapis held her close to keep her body heat normal and to keep her grip on that butt she so dearly loved. Peridot nuzzled into the bluenette's chest and breathed her in before sighing happily.
"I love you Lapis."
"I love you too Peri." Peridot nuzzled closer and snaked her arms around the bluenette. "You get very loving after sex huh? Aftercare is important after all." Peridot scoffed and kissed Lapis' chest before staying still a moment longer. Lapis' smile began to falter until she came up with a plan. "Hey uh... do you maybe, wanna go on a date tomorrow?" Peridot opened one eye slowly and stared at Lapis before smiling.
"Sounds fun, i'm in." Lapis' smile returned and she fell happily asleep in Peridot's arms.
On the other side of the house the only ones left awake were Pearl and Jasper. Pearl laying on top of Jasper's chest internally smirking at the way just from breathing that Jasper's chest was lifting her up and down on it's own. Jasper was trying to keep her headache from getting worse and so far it was working, she did feel a bit odd at first with Pearl running her hands along her sides trying not to laugh as it started to tickle the amazonian. Soon a moan protruded from her mouth as Pearl had snaked her way under her shirt and planted kisses along her body. Jasper kept her eyes shut but lifted her hands to return the favor to Pearl's back and shoulders, the amazonian tried to hold back another moan as Pearl finally started to attack her breasts and drag her nails alongside her sides. It was safe to say Pearl's first time was a fantastic one and the two held each other well into the morning.
Lapis and Peridot were the first awake and to leave only to hear Amethyst shout goodbye and waved before they were able to take off. The two slept well and decided to head out for breakfast at a small diner. Lapis took pride in being able to take Peridot wherever she wanted and even blushed when Peridot would fight with her about paying for herself. Lapis wanted to spoil her all the time and ever though Peridot enjoyed the attention she knew better than to be a brat in her mind. Lapis stayed smiling that day and remained on cloud nine.
Come around afternoon and the couple took a stroll through a park and spent some time swinging on the swings just making idle talk and enjoying the way the sky looked with the sun coming in and out from behind the clouds every so often. It came time for Peridot to return home and take care of some chores allowing the couple some time to drive particularly slow and enjoy the scenery around them.
"I'm glad we did this Lapis." Peridot sighed holding Lapis' hand in her own. "We needed some time to really just love each other." The bluenette couldn't agree more and even smiled to the angel on her shoulder who was grinning at the sulking demon. Dropping off Peridot the two shared a few kisses before departing for the night, at least there was school tomorrow, it was almost graduation time and Lapis was feeling pretty confident in her abilities although as usual math was kicking her ass all over the place. Arriving home she hugged her mother and grabbed a plate of food before heading upstairs to finish the rest of her essay for science while keeping quiet as to not wake up her father who was sleeping down the hall.
The next day Lapis was looking forward to work seeing as around this time tips would be flying into her pocket asking to be spent on more dates with her girlfriend. She was excited until she arrived home to snag her uniform from her closet, she was excited until she heard plates breaking inside signaling her to run in and defend her mother. Her mother was on the ground apologizing to her father while holding her cheek, she had a black eye from the other night he had hit her again just adding more fuel to Lapis' fire inside. She couldn't hear what he was yelling at her mother seeing as her brain told her to go back for the spare bat, upon doing so he turned in time to see her pulling it out of the back seat and making her way towards him.
He grew his own wicked grin and motion for her to strike him. Lapis was no fool and pulled a lighter out of her pocket tossing it towards him, catching it he looked confused but realized his mistake as the bat came down and smashed into his waist pushing him to the side a few feet.
"Get in the car mom, we are going to aunt Palinda's and we are staying there." Lapis spoke tightening her grip on the bat. Her father laughed:
"Your not going anywhere bitch, your mine and mine alone. My wife, my pet." Lapis snarled and dashed forwards trying to bring the bat on his shoulder only to have it knocked away and his hands wrapping tightly around her throat. "I have no fucking clue where you got this attitude young lady but maybe you will learn your lesson from this!" Her father laughed as he tightened his hold on her neck. Lapis was trying so hard to get air in her lungs and to pry him off of her even pleading towards her mother to help, yet she couldn't see her mother anywhere. Was this really how Lapis was going to go out? Nope, the sound of a clang got the hands around her neck to loosen. Fixing her gaze she panted heavily and smiled at her mother who took their heaviest frying pan and knocked her husband the fuck out.
"Pack your bags Lapis, we're leaving."
It took a few hours but the move was quick and easy even giving Lapis enough time to tie her father up and leave a burning candle under him and his favorite chair. It hurt her to know her didn't perish in the fire but happy enough to know that her call to the police kept him away from bothering the two women any further. Lapis and her mother were welcomed with open arms and she quickly put away her things before pulling out her phone to call Peridot. Quicker then it took to leave she returned to town and parked outside of the blonde's home as rain began to pour down upon her car. The blonde ran in and threw her arms around Lapis spewing out questions of hurt and curiosity and slapping in a few I love you's along with some compliments.
"You have to call the police Lapis, he's a damn monster!" Lapis nodded at Peridot's notion but stayed silent and just held her against her chest. "He left marks on your neck, what an asshole." Lapis snort laughed for a moment before returning to silence. "Jasper never told me it was that bad but then again, I didn't assume it would be either. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, Jasper never knew much. That's why-" Lapis caught herself and hushed up quickly. Peridot gave her a look of expectation.
"Why what?"
"Nothing."
"No."
"No?" Peridot stomped her foot and held a stern scowl on her face.
"You will not hide these emotions from me again!" A moment of annoyance crossed the bluenette's face signaling the demon to start poking around in her mind.
"It's nothing Peridot drop it."
"Bullshit it's nothing! You just called me by my full name so it's obviously something!"
"Why do you wanna know so bad?"
"Because I love my girlfriend?! Don't be an ass!" Lapis groaned and held her self not keeping her gaze on the blonde any longer fearing it would bring on feelings of rage.
"Jasper hates me because of what happened to Mallory." Peridot didn't interrupt and only listened. "I was angry about what happened between me and Malachite so when I went into a relationship with Mallory I ended up doing the same thing that happened to me. I'm not honestly sure how to explain why other than it felt good." Peridot's face turned into worry and fear as Lapis continued on. "It felt so good to be controlling the way this person felt, the way the would do anything at your command." The demon pushed pleasure and pride into her as she continued. "So great to just use them and take them whenever I wanted never having to ask for permission. Jasper was her friend over the summer and when I broke her it was hatred for the rest of those days."
"Do you regret it?" Peridot asked with a voice shinning hope. Lapis answered immediately crushing the blonde's insides.
"Never." Peridot was never more terrified of her girlfriend then in this moment.
"Is that why you talked to me?" Lapis turned her ice cold eyes towards the blonde scaring her even more.
"At first-" Peridot tried to open the door then only to be pulled towards the bluenette who snarled in her face. "You gonna leave me to? Abandon me and tell Jasper she was right?"
"Lapis let go-"
"Run your mouth about how bad I really am?"
"Let me go you animal!" The demon laughed then and shoved Lapis into an angry hurt form causing her to do what she never wanted to do.
Strike her girlfriend. She brought her palm to Peridot's cheek making her shriek and crawl towards the door, the demon took control now and pulled Peridot back where Lapis kept her snarl and fiery look shouting accusations towards the blonde who kept screaming trying to get away. A fist this time brought down to Peridot's arms and missing her face to get her collarbone. The demon was having a field day as the angel tried her hardest to pry it off of Lapis' mind.
"Don't you DARE! call me a fucking beast! I am stronger then all and you will love it!" Lapis roared bringing another fist to Peridot's cheek. "Mine and mine alone! My love, my pet!" Hearing those words snapped her back out of it letting go of the blonde and recognizing that the angel had finally gotten the demon off of her. Peridot threw opened the door face full of tears staring at the now hurt and crying Lapis Lazuli who called her name, Peridot would not listen and ran inside of her home where Pearl and Jasper were waiting.
Pearl comforted the blonde but Jasper kept her gaze locked on the bluenette's eyes. Lapis caught the look and slammed the door shut before peeling off. Jasper sent a text to Amethyst and proceeded to pull her sweater back on before grabbing a long solid object from the back of Peridot's front door closet.
"Jasper?" Pearl piped up looking at her girlfriend squeezing the rod under the cloth it was sleeping in. Peridot turned and instantly felt fright once more reaching out to tug at Jasper.
"Put it away! Put it away!" she begged only to be shoved back into her friend's arms as the Amazonian shook her head and opened the door.
"I warned you Peri, she has to face what's coming. Two friends are hurt because of her and Karma is due." Peridot continued screaming at her large friend to come back even though the door was closed and Pearl wouldn't let go.
"She'll kill her! Why are you letting her go?!" Peridot asked crying and trying to free herself.
"Peridot how can you defend her after everything she just did?"
"She doesn't deserve to be killed Pearl!" Peridot finally freed herself and locked herself in her room ignoring Pearl's words coming from outside.
Turning the corner Lapis finished screaming at herself and cleaned the tears out of her eyes as she pulled into the drive way of the hangout. She sat there for a few minutes beating her steering wheel before walking in. Closing the door behind her she grew wide-eyed at seeing Cindy and James huddled in a corner whimpering and begging for mercy as Amethyst then held Emerald by his collar cackling at him. Turning her gaze the shorter woman noticed Lapis and tossed Emerald to the other two where he slowly climbed against them.
"Well now look who finally showed up!" Lapis clenched her fists and ignored the tears in her eyes. "I told you not to fuck with my crew and what do you do? Your still the same old blue demon as before and you just couldn't stand to listen to warnings!"
"Hurt me not my fucking friends!" Lapis roared taking a few steps forward. Amethyst chuckled pulling out her blade and waving it around.
"That's the plan bitch!" Lapis jumped towards Amethyst only to have her arm get a quick slice along it. Wincing for a second Lapis got around a flurry of slashes and stabs to grab Amethyst's arm and slam her into the ground where she kicked the blade out and stomped on her chest. With enough strength Amethyst knocked down Lapis and began laying down some heavy hits on her arms as they blocked the shorter girl from reaching her face and other tender areas. Suddenly Amethyst was kicked off of the bluenette by Judas!
"If anyone beats the fuck outta this bitch it's going to be me." Amethyst growled at the intruder but smirked when she dealt a blow to Lapis' face. "That's for trying to drown me you cunt." Returning her anger to Amethyst the red head was quiet the fighter bringing a lot of body blows to the shorter girl and even kneeing her in the nose at least twice. Amethyst spit out a bit of blood but had no intention of going down only to be tackled down by Lapis. Both women each held down and arm while going to town on the shorter woman's face delivering blow after blow after blow after blow until Amethyst's trash talk could no longer be heard and her breathing became erratic. Both women high-fived each other and felt happy until Judas was lifted up by Jasper and thrown full force through a window and into the muddy back yard.
Lapis climbed onto the couch to catch her breath as Jasper joined her putting the solid rod down. The other three left as Amethyst lifted herself up slowly to sit in the opposite corner.
"How'd you both know I would be here?"
"Judas." Lapis scoffed and finally caught her breathing to a normal pace. Jasper removed the cloth to show a steel pipe to the bluenette. "This is called The Choice. I call it that because depending on your choice of words is going to determine how many of your bones I break." Lapis clenched her fists as Amethyst began laughing in her corner. "Choose your words Lazuli. Did you ever care for Peridot at all?" Lapis stayed silent and placed her head in her hands. "No one leaves till you answer."
Lapis let the tears flow as she remembered everything from the past few weeks in her head. She loved Peridot didn't she? She had to have! Nothing could explain her feelings better than that and there was no way it was simply a fucking crush!
"Lapis?"
"I love her Jasper." The room stayed quiet for a few moments. "I love her and I need to make this right."
"Keys and phone on the table." Confused by it Lapis obeyed anyway turning her eyes to an angry Jasper. "It's too late." Lapis lunged for the steel pipe only to be pulled by her sweater and slammed through the wall behind the couch! Lapis coughed and brought air back into her lungs trying to get a hold of her surroundings, she looked up to see Jasper kick the couch away and start walking towards her. Lapis stood up shakily but ready to beat Jasper's ass. "I trusted you, was it all for nothing?"
"I love her!" Lapis screamed jumping out of Jasper's reach and jumping back with a fist to the nose. It hurt but Jasper bit through the pain and delivered a full force blast to Lapis' stomach knocking the bluenette to her knees for a moment. Jasper lifted her up and gave her another blow to her chest knocking some air out of her.
"Your full of shit Lazuli, care for no one but yourself."
"NO!" Lapis grabbed Jasper's hair and brought both knees up to her face knocking her back and having some blood run from her nostrils. Lapis lifted herself up and grabbed the steel pole slamming it into Jasper's side forcing the tall woman to her knees before snatching it back and sending another devastating punch to Lapis' side causing her to wince and take a few shaky steps back. She had stepped on Amethyst's blade and grabbed it allowing her to cut Jasper a few times when she swung the pole. Finally having had enough Jasper tossed Lapis the pole and charged at her to knock the bluenette on her ass and through another wall!
Jasper caught her breath and placed the pipe against a wall while lifting Lapis to sit against the wall as well.
"Which hand struck her first?"
"My right hand." Jasper lifted the right hand and held the arm against the pole. Lapis tried to fight her off only to get a boot to the head and seeing stars. Lapis was terrified as Jasper lifted her arm to the pole once more.
"For everyone you've ever hurt." Jasper shot her boot forward and snapped Lapis' arm against the pole earning screams from her. Lapis tried to crawl away only to have Jasper stomp down on her now broken arm and bring the pole down upon her right hand at least five good time before leaving her there to scream and cry out in pain and agony. Lapis cried loudly, just as loudly as she did when Malachite had tried to kill her. She cried and begged to the sky for her mother, for warm arms and a loving embrace. She cried out begging for forgiveness from Peridot and begging her to take her back. She cried out for the pain to stop and that she would never do it again. Amethyst recorded the whole thing inwardly giggling to herself as Jasper held her head in her hands staring into the corner cursing herself for having o do this.
Lapis had blacked out after a while and woke up to see the ER above her. She was in the back seat of her car with Jasper and Amethyst having brought her to the ER.
"She may never forgive you, but you care and I think that would hurt more then killing you." Jasper commented before lifting Lapis out of the back seat and taking her inside. "Live with the reminder that you can't get away with everything. Live with the reminder that if you come near her again I can do the same thing to your other arm."
"Remember that I am all you fear."
I think she actually does love Peridot. Do you believe her? Was Jasper too easy on her? Will she drop out of school? I don't know you tell me.
