I need this... I need YOU! (lapidot Human AU)

Hiding

[About 1 week later]

Peri POV

(Lapis): hey are you sure about this?

(Peri): look believe me, I'm fine. I thought journalists were adventourus.

(Lapis): I don't know where you got that dork, but I'm not. Not... much anyway.

(Peri): are you coming or not?

(Lapis): fine fine. Pick me up in an hour, but promise me something Peri?

(Peri): What?

(Lapis): he's dangourus. Be careful.

(Peri): I will, and you'll be there too. And it's not like he can hurt us, he's behind bars! I'll be there in an hour.

I set down my phone. I could understand lapis's concern, but I had hit a dead end and needed to do this. days of trying to find something I missed, it was driving me insane. All I could find were lists of names found near the kidnapping sights.

They were seemingly unrelated. Didn't really lead me to anything.

Casper was my last chance now.

Not solely as a suspect anymore, hell  any information from him would make me happy. Some kind of new suspect, suspicious activity, anything...

I sat back in my chair again, rubbing my eyes.

How much longer could I do this? During the day I hit dead end after dead end, while at night all I could think about was...

I jumped, making a squeaking noise and Amy slammed a paper on my desk.

I looked up angrily. "What the fu... Amy what. Do. You. Want."

She laughed then sat on the edge of my desk. "Still stuck?" Oh she had no idea.

I groaned, setting my head down and stretching my arms over the desk. "There's just, nothing... the name lists got me nowhere, and there is no other evidence! I'm going insane..."

She chuckled. "I think you were already insane. But I know something that might make you feel a little better!"

I looked up with an unconvinced look. "Unless it's evidence that has magically appeared, I don't..." she put her finger on my lips to shut me up. "Oh I think you do nerd." She held up the paper she had so rudely slammed on my desk.

"You got to be kidding me..." a party. A huge party, next Thursday night. By the docs.

I groaned. "No, absolutely not. Last time I went to one I got wasted and almost arrested." I rubbed my face into my hands. "I... I can't do that again."

"C'mon, peridot. You can bring your girlfriend~" I looked up, confused.

"But I don't have a girlfriend...." I raised my brow. What did she...

"You know, the hot, blue and black haired reporter chick. Aren't you two together?"

My face heated up. "Wh-What No... WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT!?" Amy laughed hystariccly at this as i stood up, getting redder by the second.

"Hahah.... oh geez... no need to get defensive P!" She chuckled a bit then looked back at me.

"You like her though... right?" She smiled.

I didn't move. I hadn't thought of that. Lapis had been fixed inside my head since she took care of me, that night Casper almost... every time I try to sleep she runs through my mind.

I closed my eyes. "I... I don't know..." I suddenly realized how much lapis had changed the way I acted. She had a much bigger impact on me than I thought.

"But... you know it doesn't matter." I grabbed my keys and started walking, but Amy followed.

"And why's that?" She said, a smile still on her face.

"Because even if I wanted too, we work together, and that's against regulation. And the fact that the odds are not in my favour when it comes to her. She probably doesn't like me back..."

As I said this I realized ...

I do like her.

But it couldn't work.

I pushed past Amy and into the elevator. She Gave me a sad look as the doors closed.

Thats when i broke down. I leaned against the side of the elevator, cover my face with one hand while violently gripping my shirt with the other. I felt  tears start to stream down my face and my breath get heavier.

I shouldn't. I couldn't. But I did. I liked her.

I hated it.

[A/N Okay sad chapter I know.
