Salty - Younger! Pearl x Fem! Reader {One-shot}

Salty

     "Hello!" a little purple girl exclaimed in your face as you opened your eyes. "Amethyst!" another girl's voice scolded. You sat up and groaned. "Isn't she adorable? I found her unconscious by the beach." a third girl said excitedly. That was when you fully opened your eyes and sat up, to find you were on a cold, hard ground. 

"Ow, my head." you moaned in pain. "She's awake! Isn't she cute, Garnet?" the third girl's voice asked. Who you presumed Garnet was gave a thumbs up. You decided not to question their weird skin colors and hair. Or size... 

"Where am I? Who are you?" you asked groggily. 

"We are the Crystal Gems. You're in the temple." a pink, tall, pretty woman, a bit on the chubbier side told you. "I'm Rose Quartz. This is Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet." she explained. 

"W-why am I here?" you croaked and coughed shortly after. "Rose found you on the beach. Now, I think it's time you return to your home immediately." Pearl muttered. "H-home?" you stammered. 

~~~Flashback~~~

"GET UP, SLUT!" your father screamed at you. "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR STEALING YOUR MOTHER'S JEWELRY!" You were frozen in fear on the ground, tears prickling at the corners of your eyes. 

You glanced at your enraged mother and asshole of a sister. She sent you a devilish grin. It was obvious it was her that stole your mother's Pearl (Coincidence? I think not!) necklace. 

"GET UP!" your father growled. You whimpered, afraid of what he would do if you did. He narrowed his eyes angrily and kicked you in the stomach anyway. 

...Hard.

"H-help..." you choked out. He sent you a punch to the nose and you swore you heard a loud crack. Your father grabbed your hair and hissed in your ear, "You're sleeping in the basement again." 

~~~timeskip to late at night~~~

You stared at the wooden door that lead from the basement to outside. If only you could escape. But it was locked. You glanced around the room to see if there was any other way to break out. 

Unfortunately, there wasn't, but you then remembered about the pin you used to keep your bangs out of your face this morning. You smiled weakly at the black little pin. It was your only hope. 

Click, click, click... Almost... Click, click, click. 

Then there was the sound of a door being unlocked.

You didn't hesitate at all to escape your prison-like house.

~~~Back to the Present~~~

"Yes, home." Pearl huffed, irritated. Humans were definitely not welcomed here. "I can't..." you whispered, promising yourself over and over in your head that you wouldn't cry in front of other people. "And why is that?" she snapped. 

"Because it'll hurt." you replied, surprising yourself that you didn't cry. "How come?" Amethyst asked you, curious. "My father and mother abuse me. Mostly my father though. And my sister is... A jerk." you mumbled. 

"You poor thing!" Rose gasped. "You can stay here with us!" she suggested. 

Pearl stared at Rose wide-eyed like she was crazy. "Rose, actually, I don't think-"

"Actually, it's okay. I think I can fend out for myself on the streets. I honestly would rather live there than my house." you said, declining her offer.

"No. You will be staying her, you poor thing!" Rose told you. You sighed. Oh boy. "You can stay in my room!" Rose said. Pearl was just flabbergasted.
