Hi.. awkward introduction time! before reading it a few words from me.
First of all, this is my first Fanfiction so Im not sure how this will go so i'll just see. also english is not my first language so give some slack on grammar mistakes, although if i made a mistake let me know. I own nothing on Steven universe or its Characters. Everything belongs to Rebecca Sugar and Cartoon network.
This is a possible Series, for now is a one shot that ends in a cliffhanger that will most like will not be answered. although if you want me to continue it, make sure to ask me in the review section. be kind though! only constructive criticism is accepted. hopefully you fanfiction people like my story.
without further delay, enjoy.
Part 1. Jumper.
in itself, thinking about this was wrong. I just couldn't bring myself to stop after I began doing it. i was walking straight to my end and i had no regrets. I hated my life, as an orphan, it was already hard and lonely, but throw in a really bad foster family that took advantage the system to get free money from the government to "take care of my needs" and the constant abuse made it entirely unbearable. So that day I walked to Beach City looking for a place to die. walking around town was really hard, I mean, im blind and have a very developed sense of hearing so the noise of the small town was already killing me. Still, with my cane and my smartphone app i managed to find a perfect place for it, on top of the highest hill, where a lighthouse it's supposed to be located.
it didn't take long, years of martial arts training and endurance of hardships helped me with my trail. suddenly I reached a fence, a couple of taps with my cane later i realized it was made out of wood. I walked all around the area to find a place to jump, unfortunately the entire area was fenced, pretty effectively if you ask me. after minutes of walking, i decided to climb the fence and jump from up there. At first i was hesitant, I mean, i was afraid of falling into the void because I couldn't see how much I space i had to stand on the other side, but then I realized how dumb I was, i was trying to kill myself who cares about safety.
I threw away my cane to the side and started climbing, my body was shaking, it was not a very pleasant feeling, but my desperation and anger was bigger than my fear of death.
I reached the top of the fence, and decided to sit down on it to enjoy the wind on my face for the last time. My fear induced shivers were super loud, my heart was beating fast and hard and I was breathing rapidly so due to that I couldn't hear the steps coming to me…
-hey! how are you doing? - said a mysterious female voice
-enjoying the view i guess - I responded
-well considering the cane down here and the fact that you were stumbling a couple of minutes ago, i say that you are lying about the view, mr. blind guy. - Responded the female voice.
-do you have a habit of following people? - I sarcastically asked?
-your defensive tone just gave you away- she said on the same tone.
-well, you got me stranger - I gave up on pretences - I am blind im just enjoying the wind on top of the fence, its kinda nice don't you think.
-it really is… - she said. then decided to climb the fence and sit next to me - now what are you really doing up here? I mean Im not meaning to stick my nose in your business but this is not really a place for someone blind to be walking around. - she asked.
-I dont think is a good idea to tell her - i thought -...-
-nothing?... ok let me guess…. you wanted to jump down right? - she asked
-ha! - i gasped - that's kind of accurate… how many people have you stopped from jumping? - I asked her
-counting you… one. - she said - you are the first one who is dumb enough to try, well second one.
-who was the first? - I asked
-long story, Don't want to talk about it. - she said. I felt a little bit of regret coming from her voice.
-I won't pry..- i assured her - in my case, i just want to be free. - i said.
-free? are you a slave or something, I thought that ended hundreds of years ago. - she declared. i was starting to get a little bit annoyed. she just stopped me from jumping, after months of preparation only to be delayed by a weird girl who just happened to be there.
-no… i'm not a slave….its just… - i said hesitantly.
-it's just? - she asked.
-i don't want to live anymore, is that too much to ask? - i firmly told her. - my life is terrible, im alone in this stupid world, i can't see the good side of life because im blind… and no that was not a pun about my eyesight.- i said - I just want to die.
-well that's not going to happen on my watch - she firmly told me
-why do you care about someone who you just met? - i asked her.
-I dunno, its just that you remind me of someone i know, and i really don't wanna see that kind of person die in front of my eyes if i can stop it. - she said
-who is this person? - i asked
-me - she promptly responded.
I was out of words, i didn't say anything for a good two minutes. i was sitting on that fence feeling the wind on my face and hearing the seagulls in the distance.
-you better come down with me, and if you want we can talk..- she told me
-does it matter, im alone anyway, even if you stop me now and make me feel better, you are just going to leave and ill be alone again.- i told her
-then let me give you a reason to live…- she said, quite proudly. - let's be friends…
-friends?.. - i asked
-yeah friends… if you want to die because you feel alone, then i will be with you so you are not alone anymore.- she responded.
-how do i know that you are going to keep being my friend? i mean there is nothing for you on this- I told her
-well, for starters, i have nothing better to do, but also, like I told you, you remind me of how i used to be, and i don't want you to make the same dumb things that i did. i feel kind of responsible for you. - she said.
-that doesn't make any sense whatsoever- i told her.
-it doesn't need to… as long as you are alive and happy it works for me- she responded
-you are weird- i told her.
-...and you are dumb, great combination don't you think? - she asked
-a little… Eliot by the way.- i told her
-nice to meet you Eliot - she shaked my arm.
-mmnh you are supposed to tell me your name after i told you mine. - I declared.
-oh… my name is… Amy- she hesitantly said while shaking my arm some more. Suddenly the fence shaked a little, i felt her jumping off it.
-are you coming down, or do you need help doing it? - she kindly asked me while on the ground. I extended my hand accepting it.
that act of kindness that I received that day from Amy was the impulse that i didn't know i needed. and also the trigger for the biggest turn of events that changed my perception of the world, and maybe the entire universe. that day I meet Amethyst of the Crystal Gems.
