Steven's POV
When we got into the school and I saw people looking at us. I looked down at Lapis. She didn't look like she minded. I felt someone wrap the arm around mine, I see Lapis standing there she looked like she was swaying side to side.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked her. She nodded her head and we went to class. She didn't look okay but if she says she fine then I guess she is okay. But with all those cuts and bruises makes it look like she's being harmed. How could someone like her have this happen to her. I sat next to her, so incase she needed anything she could tell me and I'll do it.

I see the teacher walk over and hand Lapis an ice pack. I'm guessing that's for her bruises. She whispers something to her, I see Lapis nod her head and the teacher goes back to doing whatever she was doing. I see the students look at Lapis with a concern look. I see Lapis look away from them blushing with embarrassment. I try not to stare at her but it was very hard not to. I see the students look away. The teacher starts to teach us, finally.

I glance at Lapis she has the ice pack on her right arm. I wanted to know how this happened but, I couldn't ask if it was personal. I hear the teacher calling my name.

"Hm?" I look back at the teacher.

"Keep your eyes up front mister" she said in a stern voice. I nodded my head. I hear Lapis giggle at me.

I groan and look at the board.

*Time Skip*

It was lunch time me and Lapis are walking to lunch and I see Connie, finally a familiar face.

"Hey Connie!" I said running to her I had completely forgot that Lapis had been holding my arm.

"STEVEN STOP!" I hear Lapis scream in pain, I stop immediately. I turned quickly and looked at her.

"I'm so sorry!" I said to her to her in a panic like voice and I gave her a hug.

"It's okay" she said in a shaky voice.

"Is everything alright?" I here Connie running towards us. When she gets there she stops and stares at Lapis.

"Are you alright?" Connie asked with concern. I felt Lapis nod her head slowly.

I felt Lapis hug me back, and I could feel that she was starting to relax. I sighed and hugged her tightly. We stayed like that for a while.

"Hey do you want to hurry to lunch" Connie asked us. I look down at Lapis who was still clung to me. She looks up at me and nods her head which means yes. She hardly speaks so I'm guessing that means yes.

We separate form the hug and start walking. I could see at the corner of my eye that Lapis was falling behind so I waited for her to catch up with me. Since she was falling behind I let her grab onto my arm so in case something were to happen I'd be there for her. We arrived at the cafeteria it was huge.

I could see Garnet Amethyst, Pearl and Peridot along with Connie too. All sitting at a table, we start to walk over to them until I see people looking at us again. The room went quiet, I could see people whispering to each other while looking at us. I felt Lapis shaking and I look down she's closing her eyes, she trying to ignore the looks and stares everyone must be giving her.

It must be hard for her to come to school like this and have people staring at you all the time. I'd be upset too. I walk over to where my friends were, I give them a sheepish smiled, I see Pearl giving me a smile. I place my lunch down at a table I realize that their aren't enough chairs for the both of us. I see Connie pat the seat next to her.

I had to make a decision quick. I sighed, they looked at me hoping I will sit with them. I look down at Lapis who was looking at the other students while holding onto my arm. I looked away. I walked away and found two seats. I looked back at them, they really wanted me to sit with them.

"You don't have to sit it with me. If they are your friends you can go sit with them, I'm not forcing you to come sit with me." Lapis said in a quiet voice. I turned to her.

"But will you be okay if I go sit with them?" I said to her with concern. She nodded her head. I sighed and picked up my lunch. I look back at her, she turns away and eats her lunch. I sighed as I sit down with my friends.

"Hey Steven!" I heard Amethyst say to me. I stop looking at Lapis and face towards them.

"Hi." I said to them.

"What's wrong?" Pearl said to me.

I looked back at Lapis, someone was talking to her, it was Peridot.

They were laughing at something. I sighed, I look back at them.

"Nothing" I said trying to smile but, it faded.

*Time Skip*

When I get up to go throw my food away I see Lapis standing right in front of me. She smiled at me, I took notice and I saw something red dripping from the cut she had on her face that was near her eye. I grabbed my napkin and wiped the blood away. She giggled, I giggled with her. We walked out of the cafeteria and went to class.

Lapis' POV
It was time to go to PE and the gym teacher always makes me sit out. Ever since I was in second grade the teachers never let me do PE since they knew about my issues but I'm a senior now and I'm still not allowed to do it. When I got to the girls locker room I saw Peridot walking up to me.

She wanted to invite me over but I had to sadly decline. My parents don't let me go anywhere other then to school or make me go get them stuff from the store.

*Time Skip*

It was time to go home. Sighs, I can't handle being at home any more. When I'm old enough I'm going to move somewhere where they won't find me, I'll live alone and maybe get a dog. It's just I want to leave them, ever since I've been in high school I've wanted to leave everything behind. I heard a car coming from behind me it it slowed down and I caught a glimpse of Steven.

"Hey" he said. I smiled and waved my hand.

"Need a ride home?" He asked me, I thought about it. Would my parents be okay with me being in the car of a friend. I sighed and got in.

"Nice car" I said to him.

Once we arrived I got out of the car quickly and ran to the front door. I turned around and waved bye. He gave me a confused look, but he waved bye and left. I sighed and knocked on the door.

My father opened the door, I felt my heart race, I prepared my emotions for what was about to happen. He grabbed my hand forcefully and pulled me inside the house.

I began to cry because...

Whenever I come home all I feel is Pain..

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! See you in the next one! Bai! Also should I change the rating I'm still debating whether I should because of what could go on in the fic.
