Apples and Oranges - A Lapidot Fanfic *COMPLETED*

Thirteen (Finale)

A/N: Eep I'm just gonna do it. I'm just gonna finish this book I can't wait anymore!!

Peridot's POV

I started off down the abandoned road towards the supermarket, the quickest route by five minutes. If I want down the main road it would be about a ten minute walk, which I didn't have time for.

As I was walking I started quietly singing to myself.

If I could, begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love

I had heard this song on the radio a few days ago when I still had mine, and had become in love with it, so I looked up the lyrics and have been singing them nonstop.

When I see, the way you act
Wondering when I'm coming back
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
Like you

I hummed the next musical bit before starting to sing again.

I always thought, I might be bad
Now I'm sure that it's true, cause
I think your so good
And I'm nothing like you
Look at you go
I just adore you
I wish that I knew
What makes you think I'm so special

I let a tear escape my eye and roll down my cheek. This song reminded me of Lapis, who was getting married today. If only I could stop the wedding, or be the one marrying her. I felt my face grow hot at the thought.

If I could, begin to do
Something that does right by you
I would do about anything
I would even learn how to love

I was full on crying now. Why was it so bad that Lapis was my girlfriend? Why can't our families just put this all behind us? It's not fair!

When I see, the way you look
Shaken by how long it took
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
Like you

Love like you

Love me like you

I wiped away my tears and continued walking. But as I was walking, I saw in the distance a small figure laying on the ground in a baby blue dress. I picked up my walking pace more, curiosity getting the better of me. As I got closer, I realized that the mysterious figure had blue hair, and the dress looked very fancy, maybe a wedding dress, but it was hard to tell from the distance. Is it.... no! It can't be! Can it.....?

I reached the figure and gasped, there sprawled out on the road, was Lapis. Her dress was slightly ripped and dirty and bloody, but most of the blood was coming from her head. Nooo! I thought. I quickly scooped her up and got her out of the road, with some difficulty as she was bigger than me and very heavy.

I sat down next to her body and tried to check for a pulse, but my hands were shaken so much. She looked dead too. No no no no no no no! She can't be dead! I laid down next to her bloodied body, tears flowing out so much, I didn't think I'd be able to cry ever again.

I looked again at Lapis. I could have been there! I could have saved her! Now she's dead and it's all my fault. I couldn't do this. I couldn't live with out her.

One of my shaky hands reached down to my back pocket and pulled out my pocket knife. It was dull but it would work. I flipped the knife up and brought it to my throat. I just have to slit my throat, and we'd be together forever.

I let tears stream down my face as I quickly plunged the knife into my skin, shrieking in pain. In one quick movement, I slit the rest of my throat. Here I come.... Lapis. I thought as I saw my vision start to blur and fade to white, until, nothing.

Lapis' POV (Ha you thought she was dead?!)

I woke up to a sheer pain in my head, but I ignored it as it wasn't as bad as I would have thought. I took in my surroundings and gasped at the sight. I was sitting in a puddle of deep, red blood, but most of it wasn't my own. I saw Peridot's lifeless body laying next to me, blood pouring from her neck. No.... I thought. Did she kill herself because she thought I was dead?! This is all my fault. We could have been here together. Now she's gone. But then I noticed something in her hand.

She had a pocket knife in her hand, blood splattered all over the blade. This is the knife that she used to kill herself I thought as I took it from her could, lifeless hand. I then dropped the knife. I was shaking and crying so badly, I couldn't even hold it. I laid down next to Peru's body and looked her over. Even thought she had just slit her own throat, her face looked calm, maybe even a little happy. I smiled through my tears. She would kill herself for me.

I then leaned over to her and planted one last kiss on her soft, cold lifeless lips. I then grabbed the knife again, shaking less. Ok put one arm around Peri, deciding I wanted to still be with her. If she was to kill herself for me, then I would do the same.

I raised the knife to my throat, choosing to go the same way Peridot did. I put my arm around her, so that when our bodies where found, they would know that we were together even through death.

I quickly slit my throat. I felt a burning pain from it and screamed, but no sound came out. After a few seconds, I started to loose my senses and my vision became very blurry, until everything turned to white, binding me and Peridot together for all eternity, even though death.

The End

A/N: OMG I can't believe I just finished this. I just wanted to thank everyone for all the support on this story! It means so much to me. I couldn't do it without any of you guys. Also, I know that the end was kinda dark and twisted, but like I said, this is Romeo and Juliet, so I wanted to keep it at least true to the ending. Sorry that the ending is cheesy, btw. Next weekend I'm going to start a new Lapidot book!! It's going to be called "Soaring Hearts: A Lapidot Fanfic", and it's going to be about Lapis and Peridot doing trapeze together, so I'm excited to start that. Anyway, thank you guys again so much, and I'll hopefully see you next weekend, bye!
