Chapter 1:Early job.

Vvv....Vvv....Vvv..
You shot up as you grabbed your phone and instantly answered. You flopped back onto your stomach in the process.
"Oh hey Lil Quartz, what's up?"
Answering in a tired tone Steven knew he had awoken you and felt guilt settle in his stomach.
"Sorry (Y/n), did I wake you?"
You yawed wiping the raised tears that welled up in your eyes with your free hand.
"No no, it's cool."
CRASH!
"What was that?!"
You sat up and crossed your legs gripping your covers to rise up to your chest. Anxiously you waited for an answer as unclear yelling was heard on the other end.
"Um...Can you come over?"
You gazed at your fan that light up to be a clock. 1:49am.
"I know it's like one in the morning but Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst are away on a mission!"
"I know Gems don't need sleep but still..They left you? At this time?"
"No...well yes, but they had a reason."
You raised a brow tightening the grip on your phone to avoid it slipping from your hand.
"Which is?"
He seemed to remain silent.
"Hello?"
"Right! Sorry! Please just come over I'll leave the door unlocked, thanks so much! Bye!"
"Wait!-"
The line went dead and the room fell quiet. You groaned and flipped your legs to fall along the sides and your feet to hit the floor and you stood up getting changed into your ripped jeans, plain shirt and your soft (f/c) hoodie. Silently you crept out of the house making sure to not awake your Dad however, you couldn't stop the loud slam of the door or the short alarm that sounded for a second making you bite your lip in hopes he didn't awake.
"Please don't wake up..."
You quietly pleaded as you unlocked and got into the car shutting its door the quietist you could. Eventually you drove to the beach and parked on the gravel. You ran across the soft damp sand with slight difficulty as you nearly fell a few times. Out of breath you reached the door and creaked it open. The lights were dim and broken glass was scattered of different sizes on the floor.
"...Lil Quartz?..."
You wondered the house cautiously grabbing a random nearby vivid plastic golf club and holding it up for defence.
"INTRUDER!"
You screamed as you were tackled to the floor during the impact on the floor your hand fell onto a shard of broken glass. You gasped in pain.
"Peridot!!"
Steven pulled Peridot off you as you sat up staring down at your bleeding palm.
"Oh my gosh (Y/n) your hurt!"
"I'm..I'm okay.."
The same 'person' who knocked you over walked to you clearly fascinated by the blood coming from your fresh wound. While Steven rushed to the kitchen to get a bandage or anything to help you, you looked up to see a pale green hand gently grasp your wrist.
"What's that?"
She asked pointing to the oozing liquid.
"It's blood.."
She was going to touch it and you jerked your hand away.
"Please don't touch it! It'll hurt!"
"Why? And what's blood?"
Steven hurried back and gently dabbed your hand with a wet cloth before wrapping the bandage around your hand until the bleeding died down.
"Thanks..."
"No problem..anyway. Um this is Peridot!"
He pointed to her as she looked at you and looked to the floor awkwardly fiddling with her fingers.
"Yea, hi..."
Just as she spoke the warp pad glowed bright. Each Gem appeared and as this happened Peridot grabbed your uninjured hand and dragged you into the bathroom slamming the door shut and locking it.
"Whoa!"
While you were next to the sink due to your stumbling the newly met Gem was by the door trying to peep through the crack between the door and it's frame.
"Okay...I think we're safe..."
Knowing you weren't going anywhere anytime soon you sat down and leant against the wall feeling tiredness begin to overtake your body. Dark began to close in around your sight and you let your heavy eyes close once more.
