Before we start this I would like to explain something about this story and my style in general. With most of the stories I am going to right their not exactly going to fit in with others. What I am trying to explain is that my imagination is what fuels these, that iwrite from that and most of the time their will be elements from other things I've watched read or just thought of onmy own. I just wanted to make sure of that anyone who reads anything I write knows that.

I guess that's what I wanted to say, so you know by the way I am new to this but I am always going to write what I want to wright and I will definitely never give up on any of my stories (hate it when people do that) as long as even one person is reading and so far there is, I will also try to upload at least once a week but I am sure I will be doing more than that so do not worry

That's it and thank you

Chapter two Lapis and a bit of the past

Steven smiled at her and answered as he always did 'oh you know same old stuff' he replied not mentioning those punks because well he knew what lapis what lapis would do if she knew someone was messing with him, where his father would just call the principal or the teachers to get this matter solved, lapis would get the information out of him on who they were and what they looked like show up to his school one day and tear those idiots limb to limb with her powers.

'what would you like until dinner is done' she asked, he just smiled again if there was anyone who he loved just as much as his father it was her, she was like both his mother and sister, always taking care of him in her motherly way making sure he was wasn't harmed that he was well fed and supporting him, she even did most of the cooking and cleaning and like a sister she would hang out with him, playing music with him and videogames and watching his favorite shows with him. All in all she had been with them since he was six so he had always had her with him and his father since he was six, since he had left his old home.

Home he thought sarcasticly 'that was by no means his home' he thought.

Unbeknownst to him he was unconsciously frowning thinking back on those memories of when he was a child, he thought everything was a game when really it wasn't he didn't even know what those past ('guardians') of his really thought of him, but now that he was older he understood why they did what they did, doesn't mean he didn't hate them for it, 'IF ONLY YOU DIDN'T EXIST' he heard in his head all of a sudden, that memory still from so long ago was there he couldn't ever forget of course it either came up all of a sudden in his every day life or when he was asleep in his nightmares.

He felt a hand touch his and looked up to see lapis giving him a worried look 'steven' she asked 'did something happen at school or are thinking about something you want to talk about' she said. He gave a small smile 'Im fine lapis you don't have to worry' he told her. She just gave him one of her classic deadpan looks 'well if you say so' clearly she knew something was bothering him but she knew it was one of the hardest things to do to get something out of him, if he needed to talk he'd come to her that was just how he is.

Lapis got rid of the look on her face and asked him again 'so what would you like' steven just walked over to the fridge and said 'ill just wait until dinners done' he said while he opened the fridge and got out a pepsi, a little known fact about him was that he was like an addict when it came to this shit, so was lapis though she made it even worse because she was a gem they didn't need to eat and lapis didn't hated it in fact, but drinking stuff that had just a bit of sugar in it she loved there was actually one point where she and him had gone out shopping and she had spent almost all their food budget on just pepsi alone and of course he didn't question cause he was like what eight.

Lapis meanwhile frowned watching him just grab a pepsi in the drawer of the fridge, that kid most of the time when he got home ate like a whole bag of chips and a sandwich something about him eating at like eleven-thirty at school every day, she still didn't understand the whole human education system but that was just stupid at least let them eat at noon that way they weren't like starving animals when they got home.

'Steven' she called as the boy was heading up the stairs to his room that were located beside the sink area in the kichen 'you know Im always here if you need me' she told him. Steven just smiled 'I know and you know I have no doubt about that', he told her and headed back up the stairs, he loved her so much as that motherly and sister figure he knew she'd always be there for him and him her.

Once he ascended the steps to his room he just threw his bag against the wall. In his room was a closet a dresser a desk with an old desktop on it, a tv stand with the tv on it and his gamecube, a bookshelf on the wall with half of them and some games, a banjo in another corner, he had moved onto that after mastering his ukulele, and of course a bed with a nightstand next to it with a lamp on it.

He laid on his bed thinking 'why cant I just forget about them, forget about what happened it was nine years ago, he just sighed and then something came to his mind something probably all of us are guilty of.

'Ah shit I have an English paper due tomorrow and I haven't even started yet'.

So its me again and I wanted to clear some things up from the last chapter that some of you may be wondering about. Most of these things will become clear later on what I really want to say is why I said he's in Philadelphia and that is just because supposedly beach city in the actual steven universe is in some made up state called Delmarva and I am terrible at making up names so I just took a city that im close to and is near the east coast so it kind of makes sense.

That's all I wanted to say thank you for reading.
