Jasper downs her first two shots of Brandy and already ordered another two when she senses Garnet take a seat next to her.
"A scotch on rocks please," Garnet tells the bartender but makes no move to talk to Jasper.
"Thank you...for earlier, what you told Peridot," Jasper quietly says though her words were slurred.
"I just told the truth," Garnet says after nodding a thanks to the bartender. "Should you really be drowning yourself in alcohol? This was always one of your worst habits."
Jasper downs her shots and turns to look at Garnet. Her vision slightly blurred. "Is that where I went wrong?" Jasper let's out.
Garnet pauses in her drinking. Her eyes shielded as she looks at Jasper from the side.
"Now's not the time to have this conversation." Garnet resumes her drinking.
Jasper grimaces slightly. "You've never denied me a conversation. Guess things really are changing," Jasper says and raises her arm to signal the bartender for another round.
Garnet quickly reaches over and pulls Jasper's arm down. "I think you're done for the night. I'll take you to Lapis."
Jasper pulls her arm away and forcefully pushes herself away from the counter and off the stool.
Jasper, without looking at Garnet, pulls her money for her drinks and slams it on the counter before walking out the bar.
Jasper can sense her as she storms out the bar; she's right there, but not close enough for Jasper to grab her.
"Jasper." Jasper hears her name. No matter where she is or her state of being, just the way she says her name is enough for her to stop dead in her tracks.
"Where did I go wrong?" Jasper asks, her words slurred but her hands begin to curl into fists.
It's silent for a moment as Garnet makes her way in front of Jasper.
Before Garnet could open her mouth and say anything, Jasper cuts her off.
"We argue over you. A lot more than I'd like to admit, but I guess that's my fault," Jasper says and release her curled fingers. "I'm still in love with you, but that's not your problem. I shouldn't have even said anything. I'm sorry. You don't have to walk me." With that, Jasper walks around Garnet.
"Jasper," Garnet says and grabs Jasper's wrist as she passes. "What do you want from me?"
Jasper doesn't glance back at Garnet. Suddenly she feels Garnet release her wrist.
Jasper turns back to look at Garnet. "Do you still love me?"
"Yes," Garnet answers.
"But you don't want me?"
"It's not about want Jasper. I can't have you."
Jasper fights the pain in her heart.
"And you also love Lapis. I don't like getting in the way," Garnet continues.
Jasper let's out a shaky laugh. "Yet we just can't seem to let each other go."
Garnet turns to look at Jasper. "It seems so."
Neither says anything for a while but just stare at each other before Garnet's voice rings out.
"Jasper, go home to Lapis. I'm pretty sure Peridot already told Lapis about me being around."
"Yeah, you probably right," Jasper says and follows it with a sigh.
"You'll be fine Jasper." With that Garnet smiles a small smile at Jasper and walks away.
Jasper watches her walk away before heading home herself. 'This is gone be one hell of an argument.'
