Adopted by the Crystal Gems

Most italics: Italics are thoughts

(Y/n) POV

I laid on my bed while all the other orphans hung out with each other. Nobody ever wants to hang with me. They all hate me.

Piping my head up from the pillow I listened. Mr.Ribordy was calling me to come downstairs. Probably another family looking to adopt. I don't know why he bothers with me anymore. No ones ever going to adopt me.

No one wants to adopt a teen. Couples come in head in over their shoulders looking for a kid. One around six-seven maybe. But once they hit the twelve-thirteen mark no one wants you.

Sometimes you get lucky. A lucky family comes and takes you, a teen, and brings you home. For once you feel worth it and loved. Like you have a place.

I hear him call again.

Finally I decide to just go down.

Amethyst's POV (you weren't expecting that were you?)

P kept squawking about how having another human in the house would mean more responsibility since it'd be another 'thing' to take care of. I get that their not the strongest species, but like man give em' some credit, they make delicious food!

Glancing up and ignoring her raid of squawks I saw an orphanage. Guess Garnet was really serious about this whole new family member thing.

Didn't think she had it in her, I thought she was just threatening Pearl. Guess not.

Walking in we headed to the counter.

"Hello, and welcome to Ribordy's Orphanage for the Specially Gifted. How may I help you today?"

P opened her beak.

"Hi, yes. We'd like to purchase a human chil-" Garnet cut her off.

"I got this. We'd like to adopt."

"Around what age were you all looking for? Child, teen, toddler?"he smiled.

"We were thinking between twelve and fourteen if you have any. No children." She made that clear. Steven was enough of a child, he still is.

"Alright we have four. Please follow me to the adoption room while I call them down." He motioned for us to follow him. As he came across a staircase he yelled. Ow.

"Jessie! Abigail! (Y/n)! Zoraze! (Pronounced zorr-riss) Come downstairs please."

He led us to a fancy looking room. Something P would like maybe. However my eye skimmed the bland frills and landed on the coffee table. Man this is more like it! Free cookies!

(Y/n)'s POV

I heard my name again. This time with Jess' and Abi's too. Don't know who Zoraze is, must be the new kid. He came from an abusive home.

I decided to finally go down. Pulling my hood over my head and stuffing my hands into my pockets I descended the flight of stairs.

Upon reaching the floor I turned and pulled my hood further over my head before walking into the adopt room.

"Please sit down (y/n) you know the drill." Yeah, "The drill." I've known the drill since I got here. Kinda hard not to when you've been in an orphanage your whole life. Even as a kid no one would adopt me.

Foster maybe, for like a day or two. Some potential adopts, but those left as quickly as they came. The reason being what they don't put in my papers. You take me home think I'm normal, I live with you for maybe a week or so, and then bam, something happens.

They find out. They know I was experimented on by scientists as an infant. So you could say I grew up knowing true rejection. At one point in my time here I thought that Mr.Ribodry might adopt me, only to find my hopes crushed since he had four children of his own.

I heard a snicker. Looking up to the side I see Jessie smirking at a purple lady mowing down the cookie plate.

"(Y/n)'s been here her whole life." I heard my name and glanced up looking at the three strange women (and now that I notice strangely coloured too).

I just hope this family takes Jess, Abi, or New Kid. Anyone but me.

"Thanks you guys. You may go now." He dismissed us. I decided to head to the kitchen since watching that plum eat away made me hungry.

Amethyst's POV

I snickered as the man Mr.Ry-butt-y? and Garnet conversed. So far we had our eyes set on the two named Jessie and Abigail. Both loved musicals and were in love with singing. However P glared at me when I went to make a comment about just taking both.

Glancing at the crummy plate I sighed in defeat. I ate all the food so now I'm bored.

"-nothing gives you a fucking right to treat me like that!"

We all turned our heads towards the back wall. Some one sounded upset.

"I'm so sorry about this. Usually this doesn't happen. You see (y/n) has a bit of a violent trigger issue related to her past and well, she can snap sometimes if antagonized. Actually let me go-"

"No. Let her deal with herself. She'll be okay," G stopped him.

Ah, well what the heck.

(Y/n)'s POV

"Paul hand me the flour please. Juan could you grab the measu-"

As I walked into the kitchen all eyes turned towards me. Putting my head down I walked toward the pantry in hope to find a small snack. However on my way there my foot caught on something-more specifically someone-and I tripped.

Tommy the orphanage bully had purposely beat on me again. He found it an amusing past time to give be scars and bruises. Not only that but he's Mr.Ribordy's favorite so he gets away with everything.

"Ouch! What was that for!?" I ask attempting to maybe win the pity of my fellow orphans in the kitchen.

"You're getting adopted. And I don't like that," he stepped on me pushing his shoe into my chest. Flinging him off I stood up.

"I might be fucking useless! Worthless and stupid! I might be horrible and defective and a waste of time and space! A mutant with nothing good in life but knowing that a death awaits me! But nothing gives you a fucking right to treat me like that!" I gave him a you fucking try me look.

Storming out of the kitchen I shoved my way past all the kids that were previously baking. I turned to walk up the stairs when I felt a hand grab my shoulder.

"Hey, you're not worthless. Got that?" It was the purple lady from earlier. What would she know. She doesn't understand.

Breaking her hold on my shoulder I marched upstairs and slammed my door shut.

Amethyst's POV

"We'll take her."

A/N:

Heyo! I'm proud to say I finally got this up. I've had this idea for a while and I wanted to write it. When I did my Wattlad didn't save it and so I had to re-write a whole chapter and crying for almost 30 minutes and half while I was writing.

Anyway please comment! It's how I know if I should keep writing this or not.
