Stay Together: A SU Fanfic

Chapter 6; Whoops.....

Your P.O.V
It's been a few days since dad got arrested and i began living with the gems. I've done a pretty good job so far at hiding my Lapis Lazuli gem, they all found out about my blue hair not long after moving in though. I told them i dye my hair and luckily they bought it.
It's pretty weird living here though. Amethyst eats a lot and its honestly surprising they ever have any food given the fact they don't go grocery shopping too often. Steven has been his usual self, he constantly checks in on me, asking if I'm ok, if i want to do anything or if there's anything he can do to make me feel more at home, it's so sweet, but he's done plenty already. Pearl usually tries to avoid me, but when she can't, she makes an effort to help me feel content here, ever since that day i caught them talking about my stay here that made me confess what my dad does, well did, to me in the living room and makes sure i know she's very sorry. And Garnet, she's been so understanding, always asking if i miss my dad, and if i feel brave enough to visit him yet, telling me that when i am ready to visit him in jail she'd go with me if i wanted, she's always checking to see if I'm hurt, physically or emotionally/mentally and if i am she tries her best to help me, and it's so kind and considerate and amazing of her.
It was dinner time and Steven, Amethyst and i all sit around the table eating. Pearl never joins us because she hates the idea of eating, she finds it horrid and disgusting. And Garnet rarely joins us, she only eats on certain occasions and if she really wants to, she's not opposed to the idea but she'd rather not if she can help it.
Amethyst eats as much as she possibly can as fast as she could, while Steven and i eat at a normal pace. I sit there picking at my dinner with a lot on my mind and so many questions i want to ask, no one's talking so i can my chances and ask one of them
"Hey so Steven, do you um, or have you ever, gone to school?" I ask cautiously
"No, not really, i didn't even know school was really a thing until i met Connie, she had explained what school was to me. One time, this was after Connie explained what a school was, i had asked Pearl to teach me, like what happened at school. She gave me a mirror that she said could show me anything i wanted to see, it turns out it was a gem, Lapis Lazuli, that was trapped in the mirror, some stuff had happened and now she's stuck at the bottom of the ocean, fused with Jasper as Malachite" Steven says, summarizing the events that happened than eating some more like he didn't just drop a massive bomb of shocking infomation. I choke on my food realised he mentioned a Lapis Lazuli in his story, and that she's at the bottom of the ocean, our ocean, fused to another gem
"There's another Lapis Lazuli here!? On Earth!!?" I yell through my coughs from choking
Amethyst stops eating and looks at me suspiciously, Steven stops eating and looks up from his plate and stares at me confused
"What do you mean another?" Steven asks
"I-i meant to say a, there's a Lapis Lazuli here...... on earth" i say, laughing nervously, Steven and Amethyst not buying it
"Well, i think i'm full now, yummy, i think i'm gonna go, to the arcade, hehe, yeah" i say nervous, rubbing my stomach then quickly getting up, putting my plate next to the sink and running out of the house to avoid the situation

Steven's P.O.V
I watch as (y/n) runs out of the house as fast as she could, she was very nervous
'What did she mean by another Lapis Lazuli? Has she seen one before? Or does she know one? Or.....' i think to myself, not knowing what to do
"She's hiding something again....." i whisper to myself, growing more and more concerned for (y/n)

Your P.O.V
I didn't actually go to the arcade...... i ran to the stop where Steven found me crying after my dad has gave me a blackeye and cut my arm, i look at the ocean, wondering what the Lapis Lazuli in Steven's story looked like, and where she was
'I wonder if she's close by, i wonder if she knew my mother, maybe she could teach my about Lapis Lazulis and what they do and are and what kind of gem they are, i hope i get to meet her one day, i'd love to get to know her' I think to myself, looking for any sign of movement in the ocean.
Garnet walks up behind me, i turn around, still seated, and look at her
"Oh.. Hey Garnet" I say
She sits down next to me and looks at the ocean with me. I open my mouth ready to ask her why she was here
"Steven told me what happened at dinner, he said you had ran out of how and said you had said you were going to the arcade, but i knew i'd find you here instead" she answers, still looking at the water, before i even get to ask, she knew i was going to ask, i'm not sure if it's because she knows me so well or because she has future vision, i don't ask her tho.
"Oh.." I say, turning back to look at the ocean, scared of what her facial expression could be, is she disappointed in me for doing that? Is she angry?
"Sooo.... what're we doing?" She says, finally looking at me. I can tell she doesn't want to ask about what happened at dinner in case it's something personal, i love that about her, that she worries about me but waits for me to tell her myself instead of pressuring me, she trusts me to tell her when i'm ready
"Just, looking at the ocean, watching for any movement, looking for any marine life, listening to the crash of the waves. It helps calm me, and sometimes.... it makes me feel connected to my mother somehow, like maybe, she's calling out to me from the depths of the sea, trying to tell me something" I explain
"Huh.... so um, this may be a touchy subject but.... what exactly happened to your mother?" Garnet asks
"She uh... died during my birth..." I say, hugging myself as tears slightly form in my eyes
"I always wonder what she was like, who she was as a..... person. I never got to know her and because dad took her death so hard he never talks about her.. and so i just learnt not to ask about her" I admit to Garnet, she put her hand on my shoulder in a reassurimg way
"I'm sure she was a lovely woman (y/n) and if she was anything like you then she was a wonderful, amazing human being" Garnet reassures me
"Heh.. y-yeah, human being" I mumbled, thinking about how much the gems trust me and how kind they've been, and how I've been lying to them this whole time.... I feel bad
"Garnet... I need to tell you something..." I say nervously
