Chapter 15
Call To Mind
_____________

Mornings are never anyone's thing, unless it's a gem who doesn't need sleep or someone who is happy go lucky. Unfortunately, you were one of those who doesn't like waking early in the morning and rather just sleep forever if you could. 

On the bed, Spinel and Nelly were both asleep. The smaller gem snuggled close to the others gem's side. Honestly, it was adorable and funny by who much they were snoring. That food fight really took a toll last night, along with the running, screaming and laughing. 

Plus the late night stroll you had taken.

With small tired sigh, you reach over to your tablet as the screen blinked, so you shut it off and sat up. Being careful not to wake the two gems.

No nightmares last night. Which felt nice for a change, but….it could never go away unless you do something.

Spinel groans softly and immediately noticed Nelly practically laying across her stomach. Very carefully, she scoops up the smaller gem and lays her to the side before sitting up. The sound of running water made Spinel realized you weren't there. "(Y/n)?" 

The only noise that stood out most and that seemed different from yesterday, had been the sound of running water. A mini waterfall? 

Curious and slightly worried, Spinel makes her way down to the main floor and follows the sound. It got louder once she gets to a door that was under the bedroom. It was open yesterday, but now it was closed. Slowly, her pink hand turned the knob. 

You were combing your fingers through your soapy hair and sigh at the freshness of the shower. 

"(Y/n)?"

Spinel's sudden voice echoed in the bathroom and your reaction made you knock over your bottle of shampoo. Causing a giant boom noise that already increased your fast heartbeat. 

"(Y/N)!?" Spinel grew extremely scared for your safety and reached for the shower curtain. 

"NO! Spinel! I'm fine, just stay back!" You try to calm your panic attack and run a hand down your face. "You seriously scared me." 'It's been a very long time since that happened.' You thought and continued to wash yourself. Unfortunately, you could tell Spinel hasn't left the room and you peak your head out a little, spotting the pigtailed gem close to the tub. "Uh….this is a private moment, Bunchies. Can you leave until I come out?" 

Spinel tilts her head like a confused puppy, "Why?" 

There is no way you're explaining the reason why while trying to clean up. "Nevermind." You go back to finish your necessities, knowing very well that gems can start to become curious after awhile. 

Spinel sits on the floor; criss cross; and begins to play with her hair. 'I wonder what a bath feels like. Steven says showers are better though. Is there a difference? Blue's pool had been relaxing and fun.' Her magenta eyes spot your hand reaching out from the curtain and trying to grasp a folded material. 

You mentally growl in frustration after you turned off the shower and couldn't reach your towel. Usually Nelly would happily hand you a towel, but she was asleep upstairs. That is until you feel the towel being held out in front of your hand. "Thanks." 

"You're welcome." Spinel stretches her hand back. "What are we going to do today?" 

What were you two going to do for today? 

Honestly, you already had plans, though having another free day would be great. "I'm sure we'll come up with something." You wrap the towel around yourself and step out, you grab another towel to dry your hair. "Do you think we should invite Steven along? I'm sure he can keep Nelly company."
