6:27 PM

Lapis is absolutely wasted. Someone must've snuck some liquor into the punch. The Gem Diversity have finished performing. As a random male freshman comes up to Lapis, they both immediately kiss and make out by the food table, intoxicated. Peridot in a millisecond notices something is wrong, the odor smells like...

"Alcohol?!" Peridot freaks out. Kyan, Barren, DP, and Dan sniff the air, then suddenly notice it's coming from the food table.

They run towards the food table in their half werewolf form. Peridot was the first then sees a terrible sight that breaks her heart. It's the girl and Lapis flirting and talking from such short distances. Lapis then kisses the girl on the nose. Peridot, angered, manually puts her visors down. DP and Dan hold Peridot back, Kyan and Barren push them and guides them outside of the prom building. Lapis follows after, she snaps out of it, still slightly intoxicated. The Gem Diversity boys noticing Lapis arrived, they leave Peridot to her. Peridot turns back to her human form, still angered and broken hearted.

"Lapis. I- Why?" Peridot asks looking up at Lapis.

"Why, whot?" Lapis replies, remaining intoxicated.

"Why did you do that... You should've just broken up with me and get it done already. INSTEAD, YOU HOOK UP WITH ANOTHER GIRL? WHO'S PROBABLY YOUR SECOND ONE-NIGHT-STAND CHICK!" Peridot argues.

"I can't stand it, Lapis... Seeing you with another person, flirting, kissing, I can't. I thought you were a better person. I... I looked forward to spending everyday with you as girlfriends." Lapis then snaps out of it fully. She realizes what she has done again.

"Oh my stars, Peri... I'm so sorry!" Lapis apologizes.

"All of that trouble... I went through... was for you. And this is what you give me in return." Peridot says her voice breaking.

"Peri- I-"

"I'm already going through so much... This is just worse." Peridot says looking down with tears streaming down her face. Lapis tries to hug her, but Peridot steps back.

"The Championship game... Was all my fault, don't you understand that? I FAILED to be there for my team when they needed me... Now, we lost because of ME. "

"I should've done this months ago..." Peridot mumbles. She runs towards her car, Lapis follows after in her own car. Peridot drives quickly to a funeral. Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Steven, Ruby, and Sapphire quickly noticing something wrong, they get in Amethyst's van then follow after Lapis' car. Peridot parks her car then rushes to find her parents' grave. She finds it then sits between them, she leans against her mom's gravestone.

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

She speaks to the graves, Lapis, Steven, etc... are waiting on the lot, watching from afar.

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Mama, come here
Approach, appear
Daddy, I'm alone
'Cause this house don't feel like home

If you love me, don't let go
If you love me, don't let go

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Mother, I know
That you're tired of being alone
Dad, I know you're trying
To fight when you feel like flying

If you love me, don't let go
If you love me, don't let go

Peridot leaves roses on her mother's grave and on her father's grave. She slowly gets up then walks to her car again. She gets in her car then drives to a bridge, high above ground and rocks. They follow after.

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Peridot parks her car on the bridge, the rest finally realize what she's about to do. Peridot rushes to the edge of the bridge. They get out of the cars.

"PERIDOT! DON'T!" They yell.

"Lapis, I hope the next will make you happy as I do. I love you." Peridot replies to Lapis. Peridot quickly rushes to Lapis, to finally kiss her on the lips for the final time. Peridot runs to the edge of the bridge, balancing.

Hold
Hold on
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Peridot then looks at them. They look at her in fear.

"Don't. Please. I love you too." Lapis says her eyes filling with tears.

Peridot smiles, she takes off her visors then throw them at the floor. She looks at Lapis with warming eyes. Peridot puts her arms out. She falls back, committing suicide. Garnet covers her mouth, her eyes filling with tears, and everyone nearly cries. Sapphire's hands shake as she calls 911. Lapis drops on her knees, crying. The ambulance comes with a helicopter. The police escort them to their cars.

"We'll take care of the manner, go home and give yourselves some rest." A police man says. Lapis gets in the car.

"I'm sorry, I love you."
