The next day~
After the events from yesterday, I grabbed my phone and my guitar and headed toward the boardwalk. On my way toward the beach, I stopped off at The Big Donut. As I opened the door, the doorbell chimed. "Hey Sadie. Hey Lars. Heard you got a new donut" I said walking in.
"Yeah, its like brownie something something batter, I don't care" Lars said. I rolled my eyes.
"Then go take a nap in the back room or something, no one will notice" I replied back. Just then the bell rings again. There stood a kid with curly hair with a pink shirt with a star and a gem on his stomach. I know that gem, but where have I seen it. "Sadie, Lars,
new customer. Sadie the usual please" the kid said. I kept starring at him, he noticed that I was starring. "Can I help you?" He's polite, just like whoever I saw that gem on.
"Oh...um... no just admiring the shirt. Pretty basic but cool" I replied. I mentally face palmed. "Sadie could I possibly get the new donut and a chocolate sprinkled." Sadie grabbed my donuts as well as the others kid.
"WHAT!!!!!! A NEW DONUT!!!! I'll take one as well" the kid exclaimed. "I'm Steven" he introduced himself with his hand out reached waiting for me to shake it. I smiled and grabbed his hand shaking.
"Amelia. Nice to meet you Steven. Thank you Sadie for the donuts. Now, if you'll excuse me." I grabbed my donuts and walked down to the beach.

As I got to the beach, I headed straight towards the rocky part, away from the weird face in the mountain. I pulled out my earbuds plugged them in, took out my guitar and started to strum to the music.

I'm like a child looking off on the horizon
I'm like an ambulance turning on the sirens
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a land mine
Oh, I'm still alive

Am I bleeding am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage so far away away

Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away
My way to you

I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a son that was raised without a father
I'm like a mother barely keeping it together
Oh, I'm still alive

Am I bleeding, am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away

'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away, away

As I walked out on the ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
I've been running all my life
Just to find a home that's for the restless
And the truth that's in the message
Making my way, away, away

'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away, away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away
My way to you
(A/n: I'm just in love with this song and it seemed to fit)

As I finished playing along with the track, I started to hear clapping. "Amelia, that was amazing." I looked up to see Steven as well as a girl with him. She was wearing glasses without lenses, weird but ok as well as wearing very loose clothes, as well as a a single braid ran down her back. "Oh, this is Connie, a friend of mine. Connie, Amelia. Amelia, Connie." I shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you"she said.
"You as well" I replied. She seemed sweet.
"You should meet the others Garnet, Amethyst and Peal" said Steven. Those names sounded, wait a minute. I smiled.
"Sure" I replied making sure I stretched it out.

As we walked across the beach, I saw the same people that were in my apartment yesterday. "Steven, Connie who's she" the white one asked.
"Oh this is Amelia. Amelia this is Garnet" Steven points to the tall one. " Amethyst" Steven points to the purple one. "And Pearl" Steven points to the last one.
"It's nice to finally meet you guys" I smiled politely. They smiled except for Garnet. It looked like she was thinking about things.
"Totally, it's not like we crashed your apartment on a secret mission trying to find Pink Diamond" Amethyst said. Pearl smacked Amethyst much like a mother telling her child to stop it. So that's why they were in my apartment, to find my mother. Too bad they can't find her cause I have her gem.
"A SECRET TEAM WITHOUT ME" Steven yelled. We all laughed.
"I should probably head back home, it's starting to get late. I'll be back tomorrow. See ya guys" I started to head back.
"Bye Amelia" everyone said goodbye.

As, I was heading back. I realized where I've seen Steven's gem. It was Rose Quartz's gem, my mother's trusted guardian.
