Just to clear things up Amethyst only recorded Lapis crying and begging, not the fight. Here is the ending to this story which is a good thing for me I have grown tired of it hahaha! Started off as a one-shot to kick me out of my writer's block and now it's almost move loved then Ending Ocean which scares me haha! Enjoy.
Lapis finally opened her eyes to see her mother crying beside her with Jasper in between two police officers hiding her face in her hair. Lapis sighed deeply and lifted her good arm to hold her mother's with a smile that looked painful. She was happy to have a cast on her entire right arm and hand but her eyes were slightly bruised and her right eye was on the verge of closing. Mrs. Lazuli held her daughter's hand firmly and asked:
"Who did this to you baby?" Lapis held her mother's gaze for sometime before sighing once more.
"I did ma'am." Jasper spoke up surprising Lapis and her mother.
"What? But.. aren't you friends?"
"She hurt my friend's feelings and I absolutely could not stand for it ma'am. I am well aware I went over board but all I need to know Lapis is will you change for the better?"
"Yes!" she cried out hoarsely. Lapis lifted her hand and motioned for Jasper to come over. The policemen already hand cuffed her but walked her over anyway allowing Lapis to have a grip on the amazonian's shirt. "I will make up for my mistakes, thank you Jasper. I'm so sorry it had to come to this." Jasper smirked and shook her head.
"Take care of them for me yeah? Amethyst and I are going away for quite some time."
"I promise." Lapis slowly let go of her shirt watching her being led away from the room and down the hall. Lapis' mother was confused but her daughter was way ahead of her and spent the next hour explaining everything that had gone down and her plan to try to fix what she had broken.
"Hon I don't think she'll listen to you." Lapis looked down and gently rubbed her cast.
"I have to try mom. I have to at least try to apologize to her." Both women sat there for a good while until her mother went to buy them both something to drink. Suddenly Pearl and Garnet knocked on the door and sat beside the bluenette. "Hey guys." Pearl's face stayed low as she felt more responsible for what had happened to Lapis then anyone else, Garnet on the other hand simply waved.
"I'm sorry I didn't stop her Lapis." Pearl's voice cracked and Lapis instantly held her hand.
"No no no Pearl, she helped me. In a totally over board fucked up stupid way but, it still did what it was ment to do." She spent a few more minutes arguing with Pearl about how it could have been done but Garnet hushed them both instantly as Lapis' mother returned with the drink of water for the bluenette.
"More friends?"
"Yes ma'am." Garnet responded shaking the woman's hand as Pearl shakily stood up cleaning the tears from her eyes. "We we're just coming to see what had happened between our two friends. Seems more than what was necessary but Jasper has never been one to let anything slide through the cracks."
"Garnet stop that." Pearl choked out hitting the taller woman's back with her fists doing literally no damage to the woman.
"Are you the one she hurt?" Mrs. Lazuli asked with concern in her voice. Pearl shook her head and continued to clean her face before turning to face Lapis.
"You may not get the chance to fix this Lapis. You really broke her heart. She refuses to come out of her room or even speak to any of us." Lapis looked away trying to keep the water from spilling out of her eyes.
"But that doesn't mean to stop trying. If your able to get out of her before school ends then you should have a chance to at least speak with her. As long as that famous temper of yours is under control I believe you will be just fine." Garnet's reassurance was heart warming and Lapis nodded sighing happily. Just then the doctor walked in clearing his throat. After receiving the go ahead he began to tell Lapis of her future with her right arm. A full recovery of the arm had her heart soaring but it crashed at what was to become of her hand.
"I'm sorry Lapis but, you'll never be able to fully close your hand ever again. Your middle finger and thumb will never be able to fully close themselves with the other fingers. Also depending on your body you may never be able to lift anything with that hand or arm ever again." Lapis finally gave in and let the tears pour crying out inside for the universe to make this all into a really terrible dream.
Jasper and Amethyst both received 25 years in prison for attempted murder without the intention to kill. Although Amethyst had planned to fight it she ultimately gave in to Jasper's code of honor to face the full punishment head on like a true woman. Jasper expected the worst but was relieved when Amethyst's old crew was in the same area as they were.
"Biz! Skinny! Rubes! I missed you ladies!" The short woman called out running up to hug them all. Jasper slowly joined them not enjoying the looks she was getting from the other inmates. "You girls remember Jasper?" Jasper then returned her attention to the three women in front of her. She shook the rainbow haired woman's hand first, she was Bismuth. The thin woman was named Skinny and refused to be called anything else. The shortest woman there was named Ruby and she seemed to be a wild firecracker. After hellos were exchanged all five women set off to eat lunch before being shuffled away to their quarters.
Peridot went to school as she normally did and kept to herself only speaking to Pearl if she was feeling up to it. Pearl didn't intend to push Peridot to open up to her and kept herself at an acceptable distance from the blonde. Peridot was slightly comfortable with the fact that Holly Blue had become nicer to her and even comforted her when others were staring at her swollen cheek. She was still hurt from the incident with Lapis but deep down she was hoping she could speak with the bluenette soon.
A few days had passed and Peridot's heart stopped when she saw the bluenette in her cast and being held up by Emerald. Peridot began to shake slowly burying herself into Pearl's arms before turning her head to watch the two take an awful long time to gather her belongings for her classes. Emerald waved to Peridot but moved his body to block Lapis' view of the blonde but not her voice.
"I hope I see her soon, I need to make this up to her." Lapis spoke out in a depressed tone hurting Peridot inside even more. "Meet me in the library after school ok? I am gonna need an ass load of help to study after missing all of those days."
Lapis ignored the looks her classmates gave her and thanked her teachers when scolding the other young adults about how impolite it was to stare at someone. The bluenette was thankful to Jasper for not taking her dominate hand that allowed her to continue to write, Lapis still felt terrible for Jasper having to go off like that but she promised herself she would go to visit and keep her updated on the rest of the gang. Going through out her day she felt pure sadness at not seeing her blonde lover anywhere. well, ex-lover at best but she still held onto the hope in her heart for her return. Sitting at her usual table in the library she pulled out all that she could without feeling too much pain hoping Emerald would hurry to her aid, she spilled her papers and merely sighed in defeat dropping her head on the table degrading herself quietly.
"Need some help?" Lapis shot her head straight up to see Peridot looking at the papers on the floor before gathering them up. "You seem to be in need of some assistance, lucky for you i'm free today." Peridot mumbled sitting beside the bluenette who stayed silent even though her eyes were begging for the blonde to embrace her. "What's first?"
"Math." She blurted out keeping her eyes on the blonde beside her. "I have never been good with numbers. They make my eyes spin." Peridot didn't take her eyes off of the papers in front of her and began organizing them to begin her work with the bluenette as their mutual friend chuckled to himself before walking his way home.
A few more days passed with Peridot helping Lapis study and not once looking her in the eyes scaring the bluenette day after day. Finally Friday came around and after finishing up her studies Lapis was blessed with Peridot staring into her scared eyes. Peridot's eyes stayed the same emotionless they had been since that Monday and it frightened Lapis even more. The silence at the table was making the bluenette's heart race with the speed she figured her heart was going to explode.
"You really broke my heart." Peridot whispered keeping her empty look on the bluenette's pleading eyes. "Did it please you to do what you did?"
"No-"
"Quiet, we're in a library Lazuli." Lapis shed a tear at not hearing her first name at the very least.
"I-I-I have been re-re-regretting it every d-day." Lapis spluttered out through the water works spilling out of her.
"You say that but how can I be sure it's not a lie? How can I be sure you're only telling me this because Jasper nearly killed you and your afraid of her return?"
"You'll j-j-just ha-ha-have to trust me." She tried to force the words out but her sobbing and tears were making it very difficult making her even more scared Peridot would simply walk out on her.
"What if I think your lying to me again?" Lapis lifted her shaking hand holding it out to Peridot keeping her sobs to a minimum.
"I'd rather lost both hands, then hurt you again." Lapis began to slam the back of her hand onto the table harder and harder each time keeping her crying eyes on the blonde not looking away as the pain pierced through the back of her palm signaling her to stop but ignoring it anyway. "This is nothing compared to losing you." Finally as soon as she began to wince and grind her teeth Peridot stopped her mid-swing and held onto her hand focusing her gaze on the hand in front of her.
"This does not win back my love, but it does renew our friendship Lapis." Lapis threw her face into the blonde's chest sobbing like a child wrapping her good arm around the blonde not caring if anyone was watching. Despite all of her efforts Peridot cried for a good moment as well before composing herself and running her hands through the bluenette's hair singing to sooth her pain and tears. "You are my sunshine my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away..." Lapis continued to cry for quite sometime until the librarian politely asked both women to leave blowing her own nose as well.
For the rest of the remaining school days both women slowly began to spend more time together to the point of Lapis being given the ability to try to win the affections of the blonde again.
She did not win that easily and took at least three attempts before Peridot simply said yes to spare her the embarrassing future attempts that Lapis had planned, as much as Peridot liked seeing Lapis sing to her through snapchat in the shower she would never admit it. Hell she wouldn't even let Lapis hold her hand until the second week of dating because the bluenette made a terrible joke in front of her. Both women even went along with Pearl to see how Jasper had been doing. Peridot held Pearl's hand tightly when Jasper showed up the glass with scars running across her face and arms. Jasper looked at Pearl longingly and held her hand up to the glass picking up the phone and smiling:
"Hey sweets, I miss you soo much." She choked out trying to keep her smile from falling. "If your here to dump me don't worry, I have mentally prepared myself to not lose my shit ha ha ha.." Pearl sobbed silently and caught her breath before speaking:
"I've come to say goodbye Jasper. I refuse to be without you but I have also accepted a scholarship to go to Juilliard. So this may be the last time we speak." Pearl quickly placed her hand against Jasper's and smiled with tears in her eyes. "I love you Jasper, forever."
"I love you too Pearl, forever and always." Peridot stayed quiet and let the two talk until there was only one minute left with her. Pearl regretfully handed over the phone and Peridot looked at her hurt.
"I'm still very upset for what you did but thank you. She has honestly reformed herself." Peridot motioned her head towards Lapis beside her who shot a thumbs up only to get a smile from Jasper. "I miss you Jasper, and I promise you I will be here when you get out."
"Thanks Peri, make sure she keeps you happy and wish Pearl the best for me." Jasper requested bringing herself under control. "Tell her I will wait for her." Peridot nodded and hung up the phone before getting up with her friends and walking outside to see Mrs. Lazuli napping in the driver's seat. Lapis slowly laced her fingers with Peridot joining her in the backseat as Pearl took shotgun staring out the window.
"Ready to walk across that stage love?" Lapis questioned earning a scoff from her girlfriend.
"Dying too." Lapis giggled and squeezed Peridot's hand tightly.
"Thank you, for coming into my life." Lapis whispered kissing he girlfriend's cheek lovingly. Peridot giggled and pulled the bluenette into an actual kiss before nuzzling against her to catch up on some sleep.
Years came and went with Pearl hitting it big and making a total of 5 movies before Jasper's release date. Peridot and Lapis were living with Lapis' mother and aunt as Peridot and her now wife worked together managing paper work for a heavily busy corporation. Jasper and Amethyst had received early release upon good behavior even though they couldn't explain why Yellow Diamond had a fork stabbed into her chest at one point.
Jasper popped her neck as she stood next to a taller Amethyst seeing a van in the distance approaching them rather quickly. Jasper chuckled lifting her bag over her shoulder as the van pulled up to show the married couple who instantly jumped out and hugged the amazonian as Garnet walked around and kissed her girlfriend all over hugging her tightly.
"You all seem to be doing well, how's you know who?" Jasper's voice faltered at the mention of Pearl.
"I'm not too sure." Lapis spoke up hiding her damaged hand from Jasper's sight so as to not trigger an army of apologies like last time they had spoken. "Although i'm sure she'd be happy to see you."
"I wanted to thank her for all the autographed movies she sent me. She's a fantastic actress." Suddenly a small hand spun the amazonian around and her eyes grew wide.
"Hey there stranger, heard you were a big fan."
"Sweets?" Pearl giggled and hugged Jasper tightly.
"I missed that name." She whispered before pulling her girlfriend down for a kiss that was needed for the last 19 years. "I missed you babe." Jasper picked her up and both women began laughing as they twirled around. Lapis and Peridot held hands and watched the other two couples giggling and acting as if they were having their first date all over again.
Maybe it wasn't the best way things could have ended up but it seemed alright in the end, after all who really minds all the years of bullshit when you get the girl in the end anyway right? Probably not the best way to phrase it but you get what I mean and apparently so do these six girls.
THE END
If this ending feels half-assed to you then I apologize and will fix it as best as I can. All in all thank you for sticking around with me as I finally finished a story I didn't even think would have happened if I hadn't gotten stuck in writer's block as I usually do. Have a great day I love you all.
