Robinoid 24 POV:
    Love is a fools game, only to be lost again. We cling onto the dream that someone somewhere is out there, and when we meet them we would meet our soul mate. That's what some people live their life for, to find someone who completes them. They don't want to hear the truth, that some never meet. Some are with someone else, they could have died, they may not want you in that moment, or they leave. Soul mates are supposed to leave, and soulmates can be anyone: friend, lover, teacher, or whatever. Soulmates can stay or leave your life, but no one needs them for survival. One day everyone will leave, and heartbreak is inevitable. Humans go through relationships like phones, thrown away once a better one comes around. But in this story, two lovers are destined to be seperated. To a different town, to different different countries but  they are still together by the flimsy word "relationship". Both still holding on memories of yesterday, both dreaming so hard hoping it will come true. To one day be joined again, to hold one another, to say the blissful words I love you. But love dies, but what never dies is measurements.

Peridot's POV
    Jeez 24's thoughts are dark, I had to look through 24's thought process in the time I've been gone. I had brought a lot of my Robinoids to Russia for examination. A lot of their thoughts or orders were about Lapis, and if I was lucky I would get to see a video of her. My favorite one came from 5, she was dancing to some song I never heard of in one of my shirts. She looked so happy in that moment, it honestly hurt. It's been 5 days since I got here, and it's been difficult.
    "How's scrapping going?" Dr.Harper asked while putting their hand on my shoulder. They wanted me to destroy and build better robots. Deleting and destroying everything I ever worked on wasn't easy, but after the first few it was just something I had to do.
    "It's going... great, I'm almost done."
    "Once you're done we can use these pieces into something that could actually be beneficial." Oh please, these guys can build an entire town in one day and that's on a slow day.
    "Of course."
    "Dinner will be in 2 hours." Dr.Harper patted my shoulder then left me in my workshop. It was cold and too big for just me, but it's everything I ever wanted. Access to the move expensive new dated tech, but someone is missing. I miss Lapis, there were days where she's all I can think of. Despite our promise, we haven't called or even texted. I was never too busy to text, but I was too scared that she wouldn't text back. I sigh and shake off my fears long enough to pull out my phone.

"Hey Lapis, I miss you. I hope you are thinking of me as much as I am thinking of you."
"I love you."
I hit the send button and suddenly butterflies filled my stomach. I will make a promise to myself right here right now, that I will one day marry Lapis Lazuli. I smile at the thought of us living together, having a family, and we'd just be together. That thought is what keeps me going. Lapis.

Lapis POV
Five days. It's been five days since she left, five days since I had a proper meal, five days since I had a good night's rest, five days without talking to her. This is my first day back to school since she left. I was too in my head to focus on the rumors Pearl has been spreading about me since our break up. I stopped caring, even when people bumped into me, wroe on my locker, or just snickered right next to me. All the emotion that I had was flushed out late at night when I cried into my pillow. I've stopped sleeping at Peridot's house, it felt wrong. The only time I ever got out of her bed was to smell her shirts, eventually they stopped smelling like her. Fear filled me up wondering if I will forget her after a while, how long until then? The school day flew by, as the missing work filled my bag. It's not like I'm going to do any of it, all it does is add pressure to my shoulders.
    "Alright class, today I will hand out a permission slip. This year a handful of students will get the opportunity to study abroad." Abroad?
    "How many students will be able to go?" A student asked.
    "Each student who would like to go will have to write a three paged essay on why they should go, and how it will benefit them. The School board will pick which students will be going to Russia." Russia... Peridot. I look above my head, is the god's work that everyone seems to talk about.
    "You guys can decide whether or not you want to go, you can either write the essay or you can do missing work." The teacher walked back to his desk. I quickly pulled out a paper and pen, and I'm going to write my way out. I'm going to write my way to Peridot, the thought of us being so close to each other again was the reason for my smile. To feel her lips, to smell her, to look into her beautiful eyes again. My hand mindlessly wrote all over the paper, each word bringing me closer to the love of my life. Being with her for an entire semester, I haven't spent that much time with her since she left. Whenever we were together something or someone always got in the way, but not this time. I will come back for graduation and spend summer in Russia with her. Knowing her she'd probably tell me it's not necessary, but she's worth it.she will always be worth it. I love Peridot, and I will do anything to be back in her embrace. I'll see you soon baby.

Robinoid 24's POV
Love is a fool's game, but we all play it. I will never understand these humans, they will destroy everything and even themselves for love. A word, a noun that has no meaning besides the one we give it. That word can be the reason for someone's life, their will to fight, to carry one, to move on. They put so much meaning behind the word yet fling it around every chance they get, they are so careless with such a fragile thing. Life can be hard, but love is like being under a tunnel when it's raining. A nice break from the storm, but that's all it is. A break, but we try to make the bridge bigger. We try to make something that wasn't meant to last long, last long and all it does is break hearts. Everyone has to step out and face the storm alone, they won't be ready to get wet or how to handle the cold. Yet they still do it, they get up and continue. It's okay to let go, let go Peridot. She's in pain, let her go. Face the rain, get wet. I know you are deleting my thoughts, so honor my last thought. I've seen her cry and break herself for you. Have mercy on her heart and let her go. It's for the best, it will hurt but you'll get used to the cold. If you leave now she might be able to heal and move on, but if you keep leaving then she might spend her life unhappy. All because you don't want to let her go, because you are scared. If you leave now, you still have a chance to live a happy life. I can't say the same for her, I mean just look at her. Just a few months and she's an emotional wreck, just imagine years from now. Because let's face it, you will always choose science over her. It was never her, you won't choose her. Let her go, it will be okay. Till next time old friend.
