[Two]

Steven was lying in his bed, replaying the scene with Pearl walking off into her room over and over again in his mind. "I don't understand," he forced back the tears that were starting to form. "What did I do wrong?"

He watched Amethyst as she opened the fridge and pulled out a decent amount of food. "Yo, Steven, you're still awake?" Amethyst asked when she noticed that Steven's eyes were still open.

"Yeah."

"Oh, is this about the issue with Pearl?"

"Yeah."

Amethyst stuffed all of the food she got into her mouth and chewed loudly, making Steven give a small cringe. She chewed a few times before swallowing, licked her fingers, and burped loudly without excusing herself.

"C'mon, Steven, it's really not that big of a deal," Amethyst said in an annoyed voice. "I mean, Pearl has avoided me before when I've done nothing wrong except say a few things."

Steven turned over on his back and stared up at the ceiling. "I just don't understand, I mean, I've never seen Pearl act this way and I-"

"Dude, like I said, this is normal for Pearl, she'll get over it soon enough," Amethyst interrupted, making Steven feel more upset about this.

"But-"

"UGH! Why do I even bother helping?!? You're not going to listen, anyway!"

Amethyst then stormed off to her room, and once again, Steven felt like he made a mistake by speaking to one of the gems. He started to whimper as a single tear fell from his eyes. "Great...I messed up again. Why can't I just stay quiet?"

He rolled back onto his side, although this time, he was looking blankly at the wall. "Oh well, tomorrow is another day," he said as he drifted off to sleep.
