Peridot/pov

Me and lapis have been sitting on her bed watching tv for 2 hours, she fell asleep an hour ago it's really cute she's just laying in my lap. I was about to plug my laptop in and go to sleep when lapis started stirring and mumbling 'oh no she must be having another nightmare' I thought. I tried to shake her awake but I wasn't working "lapis please wake up" I said but she stayed asleep. She was now shaking and crying in her sleep but i didn't know what to do. I was still trying to wake her when she jumped up almost gasping for air. At first she was just looking around taking in her surroundings, but then she looked at me and broke down into tears. "Lapis please don't cry it was just a dream you safe I promise" I cooed. It was about 3am I didn't have classes tomorrow but I think lapis did. 

Lapis had calmed down but I just sat there hugging her hoping she would just fall asleep but she didn't "peridot *sniffle* I can't sleep anymore *sniffle* every time I fall asleep *sniffle* I get these horrible nightmares, a-and I feel like I'm not safe anywhere now I just" she rambled but I cut her off "lapis it's okay I promise you your safe I understand if you don't want to go back to sleep but I think that's what your body needs right now" i smiled at her. She released from the hug and looked at me with tear stains and bags under her eyes "thank you" she said quietly 'thank you?' Why was she thanking me? I was about to ask her but I was interrupted by here falling limp in my arms 'she fell asleep'

I was trying to fall asleep but I just couldn't. I was thinking about jasper I mean how could jasper do something so awful to such an amazing person. Jasper broke her, and I will make it my life's goal to fix her, because I think... I love her.  But there is no way she'll love me back she has a girlfri- I cut myself off. I always used that excuse when thinking about her ever liking me back but I can't anymore, jasper is awful, and I honestly felt a spark last night we were soooo close to kissing I know I wanted too, but dose she want too? Ugh I shouldn't think this stuff, I still don't think she would like me back I'm a big ass nerd while I always saw her as a popular chick, but I guess that's also not true. This is all so much everything I thought I knew about her was wrong besides her name.

Time skip to morning

It was about 11:23am lapis was still sleeping I think she had a few more nightmares last night, but I calmed her down without even waking her up.  I started with running my fingers through her hair that calmed her down, but latter it got worse I ended up rubbing her back while avoiding sensitive spots like bruises, cuts, etc. while lapis slept really well after the nightmare. I didn't, I didn't fall asleep last night I was too worried something would happen to lapis when I fell asleep and she wouldn't wake me up so I couldn't help, but it's fine I'll sleep tomorrow night Maybe... 

Lapis started to stir around 11:46am I thought she was having another dream, but she just sat up and looked at me "good morning sleepy head" I told her while smiling. She looked at me with tired eyes and smiled back. She tried to get up but then hissed in pain "p-peridot?" "Yah?" I looked at her concerned "I-I cant m-move, everything hurts" lapis said with pain in her eyes "here I can help you. Where are you trying to go?" I asked. Lapis looked at me in shock "I uh was just gonna get some food, but you don't have to help if you don't want to" she said sadly. I laughed a bit "lapis I do want to help, so what do you want? We've got eggs, toast, waffles, I can make pancakes too." I listed off. She just smiled at me "t-thx peridot, can I have toast please" she said with a sad smile "coming right up" I said smiling wide back at her 

I walked to our little corner kitchen and popped some toast in the toaster (idc if you can't have those in college so shhh) I was a little relieved lapis didn't notice that I didn't sleep because she would just blame herself or something, I mean I know I don't know her to well but from our previous interaction I could tell she would do something like that. After the the toast popped out I asked lapis "do you want anything on it?" She flinched at the sudden noise "oh um just butter is fine" she said. I could tell she was embarrassed that someone else was making her breakfast, but she shouldn't be, she has cuts everywhere and I can only imagine how sore she is.

I walked up to lapis who was not starting into space while sitting back on her bed. She didn't notice me coming and I didn't want to startle her, but that probably wasn't an option. I walked up to her bed and sat down, but as expected she jumped a little before realizing it was just me. "Here you go" I said smiling. She smiled back a vary week smile "thank you peridot you didn't have to do this" "what do you mean? Lapis it's not like I'm just going to let you starve" I told her. "I care about you I can't just let you die." I said quietly, but loud enough for her to hear. She quickly turned her head to me and looked shocked. I just looked away blushing.

After a few seconds of awkward silence (this is a reference to a song if you know you're cool) I asked "do you want to watch something? I don't have classes today so we can do whatever we want" "oh jeez what time is it? I have class today!" Lapis said in a panic. "Whoa lapis your not going to class today you can't even stand" I told her trying to calm her down "b-but" she started but I cut her off "lapis, you've just experienced something super traumatic, just take a few days off, and you can go back to class when you ready" I told her reassuringly. She sighed "y-yah I guess you're right. Can we watch whatever you put on last night it was pretty interesting." I smiled "sure, it calmed camp pinning hearts by the way" 

Time skip about 3 hours later 

"Wait why are paulette and Percy kissing!? Pierre and Percy are way better for each others!" Lapis said. I could tell she was deeply invested in this show just like me, but her comment reminded me of her, and jasper, and her, and I because lapis kisses jasper but she should be kissing me. I'm still mega crushing on lapis but just like in the show it will never happen. "I know right they're so perfect for each other!" I couldn't help but blush after saying this. After the episode I stoped the next one from playing. Lapis looked at me curiously. "Lapis, what are we going  to do about jasper?" 


This chapter took days cuz I kept stoping. Anyway I have a lot of ideas but school is in the way so I won't be posting them yet. Also sorry there wasn't any lapis pov in this one. You may not of noticed but peridot is now having trouble sleeping so that might be a problem (it will) but not till vary latter on kinda also hence the name of the chapter "more problems" hehehheheh
