Apples and Oranges - A Lapidot Fanfic *COMPLETED*

Seven

Lapis POV

"PERIDOT!" I screamed as my dad through me into the back seat of his car and slammed the door, making me flinch. I kept yelling, but my dad ignored me. I was crying so hard now I couldn't even scream, not that it would matter. We were already out on the road towards my house, about 5 minuets away.

After a minute or two of silence, Dad finally spoke up. "I'm very disappointed in you, Lapis," He said, making me angry. "You can't just run away with that stupid Green! She's a bad influence on you. What about Kevin? Did you forget about him?"

SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT! I thought. About six months ago my dad told me I was to marry Kevin. It was an arranged wedding. I tried my very hardest to get him to put it off, but he wouldn't budge. He said it was for the best. Kevin's family was very rich and we needed money.

"I'm not marrying that slime ball," I said coldly. I had only met Kevin once, but he was horrible. He called me "baby girl" and "sugar" and other sappy stuff like that. He also kept wrapping his arms around me, but I kept slipping out. He was just so uncomfortable to be around I didn't want to have to marry, or even live with him.

We arrived at my house and I tried to open the door myself, but unfortunately Dad put it on child lock. He then himself got out and opened my door. I tried to slip past him but he just wordlessly grabbed my wrist and dragged my inside. I tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but he was surprisingly strong, considering all the pounds he's put on since we lost Mom.

Dad dragged me through the front door and down the hall to my bedroom. He threw me on the bed and closed and locked the door from the outside, so I couldn't get out. He then went outside and around the house to my bedroom window, which was downstairs, and locked that from the outside too, so I had no where to go. He then went inside and walked back up to my door.

"The wedding's tomorrow. I talked with Kevin's family to have it sooner. Your dress is in the closet. I'll bring dinner," He said, and walked off.

I lied down on my bed, processing what the hell just happened. My thoughts then trailed back to Peridot, and I cried even harder as the memory of her this morning flooded in.

I woke up to the sound of my dad as I saw him walking towards me. "What the hell?" I though as he approached me. I saw my girlfriend jump in front of the foe, but watched in horror as he pushed her down into the table as she yelped. He looked back at me and I quickly darted away, but he grabbed hold of my ankle. He started pulling, and it hurt really bad but I fought back. He pulled even harder and I started to feel myself being pulled toward him from my end of the bed. I heard Peridot cry out and I looked over at her and saw she couldn't get up. I wanted to help her but I couldn't as my dad finally finished reeling me in and grabbed me. I kicked and screamed but he wouldn't let go. "PERIDOT!" I screamed over and over as he carried me away. The last I saw before being dragged out the door was her sitting there starring at me, tears flowing out of her eyes.

I brought my hand up to my face to wipe away the tears, and when I pulled away it was drenched in them. I got up from the bed and walked over to my bathroom to wash off my face. I then walked back over to my bed and reached into my back pocket for my phone, but came empty handed. Damnit. Dad must have taken my phone in all the commotion so I couldn't contact Peridot.

I huffed and lied back down on my bed, letting my eyes tear up again. I just lied there for hours, until I finally cried myself to sleep.

A/N: I know this chapter is short, but I think I'm gonna update later today or tomorrow too to make up for it. Do you like that I added Kevin? I thought he would make a good plot twist. Thanks!!
