Trouble

Part 5

"What the? What happened? Oof... my head." Spinel mumbles from the ground, she places her gloved hands on her face. Her world felt like it was spinning, in an agonizingly slow pace. Her stomach is in knots feeling the urge to vomit her ice-cream. The pink gem slowly opens her eyes to see spots of lights invading her vision. A groan escapes her lips; she used her fist to rub her eyes to readjust her sight. Once the flashes of lights were gone and the first thing that she sees is the orangey-pink sky. Her world was then flipped right up when she came to the realizations she is laying on her back in an open field.

Spinel slowly sat up with a loud grunt using her arms to support her from behind. This place...it looked familiar. The ocean breeze blew gently through her hair as she scanned her surroundings. A large lighthouse caught her attention and the gem knew instantly where she was. Negative feelings of regret twisted in the pit of her stomach as she averted her gaze away from the lighthouse. Why was she here? How did she even get here?

The sound of crying caught her attention and the pink gem navigated her attention to the sound. In the middle of the grassy field sitting in a tight ball was (Y/N). Did she bring them here? How? Why? Throwing her head back Spinel heaves a heavy sigh, she had to go talk to her to figure that out, didn't she? Or she could just leave her here. Spinel's jaw tightens at the mere thought; it left a bitter taste in her mouth. Even she wasn't that cruel. How was Pink able to do it so easily? Carefully Spinel stood herself up and walked over to the crying gem. The sobs got louder the closer she got. Guilt begins to slither up the slender gems back knowing she was the reason for her tears.

"Way to go Spins You hurt someone else." She thought bitterly as she sat behind (Y/N) not knowing what to say. What could she say? Sorry? Are you ok? Those didn't seem like it would do much for her case. Spinel sat down in deep thought as she tried to find a way to make it better since this was all her fault. (Y/N) just wanted to be her friend; she was being kind and patient. And how did she repay her? By letting her emotional trauma control her actions. Spinel hadn't noticed (Y/N) crying subsiding as the gem wiped her tears away.

"Y-you know, I was so excited t-to meet you." (Y/N) stammers looking up at the sky as she sniffles. Spinel frowns as she wrapped her arms around herself a few times, as she sat silently listening to (Y/N) talk.

"For a w-whole year, I...I wonder w-what you were like, and how y-you were doing." Remorse screws Spinel's face in shame as she held herself tighter.

"Why?" the pink gem mutters weakly. She has been asking that question a lot lately, and yet she failed to receive a genuine answer.

"Because...because you found me. Right here." (Y/N) says as she patted the ground below her. Not this again, the pink gem sighs in exhaustion. Her arms released their grip and pools around her lifelessly. She is way too tired for her mind games, she just wanted this to be over. Spinel's gloved hands slap softly over her own face before pulling down at her skin.

"What are you talking about? How did I find you? I just met you! Nothing you are saying makes sense!" Spinel whines in frustration, reaching up to yank on her pigtails roughly. The physical pain was distracting her from the emotional turmoil she was currently experiencing. Why won't she make sense?! Why was she being so confusing! WHY!?

"With your injector, when you first came to Earth." Spinel cries out in anguish as she clenches her head in her enlarged hands. Squeezing it tightly as she closed her eyes still not understanding what is going on. Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes as she bit down on her tongue to choke back the sobs. She curls into herself crying softly. Was she torturing her by reminding her what she did wrong? News flash she already does that on her own! She doesn't need anyone to narrate it now or ever!
