Chapter 10: But Lies will Last Forever

Lapis sat down at the table with Peridot and Amethyst as they got ready for there day out together. Deep down Lapis knew that Aqua would have to be dealt with but for right now having a good time is all that matters. She wants Peridot to know that Lapis still cares right now before she has to go home a pull a fake churade with Aqua. Peridot and Amethyst were arguing back and forth about how they aren't sure how they were going to get everything for Pearls birthday coming up. They were going over routes and what they should grab first from stores. Amethyst said that they should grab the cake first but Peridot was arguing that the they could drop the cake. Lapis just chuckled and went into her room. She ran her fingers along the old piece of fabric that was used on Peri's foot when she cut herself on the mirror. She pinned it up to her bulletin board for memories sake. She went to go and put on some warmer clothes since she was still in her Pj's. She pulled open her drawer and rummaged through some of her clothes and pulled out a warm sweatshirt and sweats. She walked over to the mirror she had fixed to adjust her hair. Or at least she was going to put on a hat. On the mirror was a yellow sticky note.

Azyyyy. You and I are going to my place of choice on Monday the 22 of December. If you do not comply that will be your last straw. You have caused me to much strain since I have shown up.-Aquamarine

Lapis just scoffed and threw down the yellow sticky note. Aqua had been here for about a month now and she couldn't believe she didn't crack before now. Lapis and Peridot had to be sneaky with their little rendezvous that they had during the day and nights. Lapis was actually a little disappointed that she wasn't sneaky with Peridot more. They didn't do anything crazy. They just went and got coffee and food from time to time trying to avoid Aqua. Regardless Lapis wouldn't have changed that time she spent with Peridot for the world. Lapis just turned over the note and Scribbled down.

Dear Bitc…. I mean Dear Aqua, I am the saying with a "very" heavy heart that i can not make it to your planned date because I have a birthday to go to. Hopefully you understand.Your Acquaintance, LAPIS LAZULI

Lapis was calling for the end of this bullshit with Aqua. She was ready to face Aqua's worst. Lapis looked in the mirror and stared right into her own ocean like blue eyes. She saw the bags under her eyes from countless number of days that she went sleepless. She didn't trust Aqua enough to sleep. Lapis shook her head and put on her clothes. She pulled up her flowing blue hair into a bun and stuck it underneath her favorite beanie with the little pom pom on top. She stepped out into the main room to find Peridot and Amethyst wrestling together on the floor.

"Hey Amethyst stop that this is serious." Peridot whined rather loudly.

"I know thats what makes this fun. And she is my girlfriend anyways." Amethyst said grabbing a piece of paper that fell to the floor. "Speaking of girlfriends her comes yours right now." Peridot jabbed her elbow into Amethyst side making her drop the paper again. Peridot grabbed the paper and stuck her tongue out at Amethyst.

"Ok. Lapis and I will go over into the food district and we will grab the cake and brownies. Amethyst you will go grab the gifts up." Amethyst frowned and looked at Peri.

"I still think that I should go and get the food." Peridot just scoffed and turned around.

"Hey where do I fit into this party huh." Everyone whipped around and saw garnet standing in the doorway.

"I call going with Garnet." Amethyst ran over to Garnet and stuck her own tongue out at Peridot. Peridot just nodded and gave the two a list of things she thought Pearl would like. Garnet and Amethyst turned and went out.

"Ok so we need to go to the bakery to grab some fresh bread. Then we need to go to theeee... Why are you looking at me like that." Peridot trailed off as she noticed Lapis giving her a shifty and suspicious look.

"Ohhhh no special reason. I just find it cute that you chose me to go with you to get the food." Lapis gave a big toothy grin and Peridot started to babble like an idiot.

"Um… AH oh well I… I mean I really just made a guess on what would be the best paring and….. Ok fine i chose you specially ok." Lapis just bursted out laughing while watching Peridot become a flush red color. She went over and hugged the tiny girl.

"Don't worry. I don't mind. I am actually looking forward to it." Peridot looked up and found herself lost in the sea that is Lapis's eyes. Lapis just had this comforting look to her eyes that made Peridot melt in her arms. Lapis grabbed Peridots wrist and pulled her out of the dorm.

"Come on we want to beat those guys back here." Lapis laughed and snorted as Peridot tried to keep up with her tiny legs.

Lapis was bundled up in her heavy winter jacket and sweats as Peridot looked almost like a kid who was dressed like a kid who was dressed by her mother to go outside. Lapis didn't mind to much however. To Lapis anything Peridot did was cute. Even if Peridot tried to not be cute it was. They had a bunch of donut boxes and brownies. The last thing they needed to get was the birthday cake. Lapis and Peridot trudged through almost 6 inches of snow and stopped in front of a small cafe. Lapis again grabbed Peridot and dragged her inside. Lapis took off her jacket and threw it over a chair at the table. She took off her beanie and her hair fell down. She let her hair swish back and forth. She felt majestic and from Peridot's expression it was safe to say she was. Lapis sat down at the table and ushered Peridot over. Peridot waddled over and took off her coat. She sat across from Lapis and just stared at Lapis.

"Enjoying the view. That will be 10 dollars per every look." Peridot got flustered fast and Lapis laughed quietly to herself.

"What are you doing Lazuli we need to get back soon." Peridot whined trying to plead to Lapis to go back home.

Lapis sighed "Ok listen I just needed to talk to you real quick. Some things about me are going to come out soon. I am begging you to promise me you won't think of me any less once they do come out." Peridot sat in a stunned silence. "Please Peri. I can't lose you."

"Alright Lapis I promise." Peridot grabbed Lapis's hand in a gentle and reassuring way. Lapis sighed out loud and smacked her head onto the table. "Lapis OMG."

"I'm ok I just needed that." Peridot laughed and ordered herself a soda and ordered Lapis a coffee.

"Your paying by the way. You dragged me in here so now you have to pay."

"HEY!!!" Lapis was not very happy that she had to pay but she reluctantly grabbed out her purse and threw some crumbled up bills on the table. The barista nodded and handed them their drinks. They sat there again for another couple of minutes until they decided to leave.

"We totally beat you back here." Amethyst and Peridot again were having a fun sibling like argument again. Lapis and Garnet just shared this look like this old shit again and they gave a little chuckle. Everyone stopped however when they heard the dorm door start to open. Aqua entered into the dorm and threw down her bags and books onto the table filled with different items. A book landed on a gift wrapped box and crushed it.

"Watch it asshole." Amethyst piped out running over to the gift.

"Well the last time I checked this is my dorm so i can do whatever i want in here."

"Dammit you fucking asshole there broken." Amethyst pulled out a pair of earrings that had opal stone throughout the entire earrings. She threw them to the floor. What Aqua said next was not a good idea.

"Well maybe if you wouldn't have bought such cheap earrings maybe they wouldn't have broke." Amethyst took a lunge at Aqua but Lapis knowing Aqua too well intercepted Amethyst. Aqua came up from behind Lapis and got in Amethyst face. She was about to say something again but Peridot tackled her to the ground. Aqua screamed and she struggled against Peridot but she couldn't break free. Lapis saw Garnet and Amethyst out of the door and had them take all of the gifts and food. Lapis waved goodbye and shut the door. She whipped back around to see Aqua and Peridot wrestling on the ground.

"You just made a big mistake. I swear you would have wished you were never born." Aqua struggled and got free. She ran into her room making sure the door was slammed in the process. Lapis immediately ran over to Peridot.

"Are you ok Peri. Did she hurt you in any way." Lapis was checking Peridot up, down, left, right, anywhere she could see Lapis checked.

"Lapis I can handle myself in a fight. Im ok." Peridot walked over to the sink and washed some blood off of her hands. Aqua scratched her hand pretty good and drew blood against Peridot. Peridot winced at the pain a bit but eventually she grabbed a paper towel and wrapped her hand. Little did either of them know but Aqua was in the next room getting a plan ready and listening on to there talking. But Lapis knew better and decided to give Peridot a wrong address to Pearls party on purpose. When Peridot went to correct Lapis she realised what Lapis was doing. Aqua had her plan set in motion but Lapis had a damage control plan.
