Spinel was resting in Stevens car, her eyes closed as she leaned the back of her head against the seat's head rest. Steven was still inside the gym, talking to the front desk lady about what Kevin had attempted to do, which resulted in Kevin being banished from the gym entirely. Spinel's mind was still racing and her heart was still pounding in her chest from earlier, she felt so helpless and vulnerable when Kevin grabbed her wrist. Out of her control, her mind slowly disconnected from reality as the memory of what happened to her started to set in place. That day when she felt helpless as the bullies humiliated her, that day when she saw her best friend abandoned her, that day when she felt completely alone. Spinel gripped the fabric of her shorts tightly, trying her best to focus on what's happening right now instead of slowly slipping back into the past. However, this proved to be fallow since she began to see that the surroundings around her flashed from the inside of the car to the large opened area that was the inside entrance of her old middle school. Spinel began to breath heavily, her heart continued to pound harder in her chest as she began to hear the horrid laughter's of her past tormentors. One of Spinel's hands began to travel up to her head and gripped her fuchsia hair tightly as her panic attack worsened, slowly losing her grip on reality even more. "Ok Spinel, Kevin shouldn't be a problem anymore and-Spinel?" Steven started to speak as he slid into his driver's seat, but quickly noticed that something wasn't right. Steven noticed that the color from Spinel's face had drained, that she was gripping both her hair and shorts tightly, panting heavily, and possibly sweating a little. "Spinel?" Steven asked, slowly reaching his hand to her, only to have her shrink away from it. Steven felt a bit discouraged from her reaction, but it soon clicked in his mind that Spinel was having some sort of PTSD attack. "Spinel it's me Steven...." Steven spoke softly, hoping to catch her attention.."S-Steven?...." Spinel whimpered, tears started to flow down her face. "Do you know who I am?" Steven asked, trying to keep calm as he kept his eyes on her. "M-My...." Spinel tried to speak, failing to answer his question for a minute, "My B-Boyfriend..." She whispered softly. Steven seized this opportunity to slowly snake his hands to Spinel's face, cupping her cheeks so she could look into his brown eyes. Spinel tried to resist his warm hands, but soon started to remember the comfort that came with his reassurance. "Spinel, where are you right now?..." Steven asked gently, using his thumbs to wipe away the mascara stained tears that trailed down her cheeks. "I'm at scho- no....I'm....I'm in a car, Stevens car...." Spinel answered softly, cupping his hands with her hands as her brain began to set back into the present time. "What were we going to do today?" Steven asked again, being patient and knowing that he shouldn't rush this type of process. "I-I....we were going to w-watch a m-movie and cuddle...." Spinel sniffed, which made her realize that Steven was holding her face and then her pink colored eyes slowly focused on to his brown eyes. "S-Steven, I'm s-so sorry...." She began to sob, slowly leaning into Stevens chest as he hugged her head to him. Spinel could hear Stevens heartbeat, which seemed to calm her down enough to explain what had just happened. "I sometimes lose track of reality when it's triggered and.....I go back to my worse memory which you already know what that memory is...." She explained softly, clutching to his tank top. "Spinel don't be sorry, I'm so sorry you had to go through that....I wanted today to be a great experience for you but instead it was ruined because I left you alone....." Steven began to apologize as he hugged Spinel tighter, thinking that it was his fault for what had happened. "No no, none of us could have predicted what happened, please don't blame yourself, honestly Kevin deserved that punch you gave him" Spinel chuckled, remembering how hot Steven looked when he stood his ground, and she loved it when Steven became very protective over her. Steven chuckled in response, "honestly I've been wanting to do that since I was fourteen" he admitted, "do you want me to take you home?" He asked gently. Spinel stayed silent for a minute before answering, "I don't want to be alone right now..... honestly can I stay at your house tonight?...." She asked softly, looking up at the male she loved. "Of course, I love it when you spend the night~" Steven smiled before pulling away to put the car in drive, he continued to hold her hand as they drove back to his house.

     Steven continued to hold Spinel's hand as they left the car parked and turned off in the driveway. "Is there anything I can get you?" Steven asked gently as he gave her hand a squeeze. Spinel sighed from mental exhaustion, and honestly she just wanted to cuddle with Steven and watch a cheesy movie. "I just want you Steven, I want to cuddle you" she answered, squeezing his hand tightly. "Ok well let's go inside and we can watch a movie in my room" Steven smiled as he opened the door and walked inside with Spinel in tow. "Steven please come into the kitchen!" Pearl called to the male as soon as he stepped inside. Why is Pearl home early? Steven questioned, usually she doesn't get home till much later. Spinel walked with Steven into the kitchen, seeing Pearl clutching a mug with steaming tea inside. "Steven, your aunt's are here and they have someone they want to introduce you to. Bare in mind that I wasn't expecting this and it involves what your mother did before meeting Greg." Pearl quickly explained before Steven was even able to put ask questions. "What do you mean? What did mom do exactly?" Steven finally asked, Spinel stood behind the male as she continued to hold his hand, she was just as curious as Steven was. All Steven knew was that his mother ran away from her family at a young age, changed her name so no one could find her easily, and fell in love with Greg which resulted in Steven being brought into the world. "Your aunt's are waiting in the living room, please go see them....." Pearl spoke softly, honestly she seemed a bit shell shocked as she sipped her tea. Steven glanced back at Spinel with a raised eyebrow, both of them confused and curious as to what his aunt's wanted to talk about, or show him. "I'll come with you Steven, it's alright..." Spinel spoke softly, hugging his arm a bit to comfort the male. Steven nodded and with the help of his girlfriends support, he found the courage to walk to the living room. Steven stopped in his tracks as his eyes focused on what was in front of him, White standing behind the couch, Blue and Yellow sitting on the end of the couch, talking with a familiar face in the middle. Pink poofy curly hair, jean jacket over a pink Lion shirt, made him remember who exactly this person was. "P-Penelope??" Steven squeaked out, absolutely shocked and confused as to why she was there, but also worried for Spinel as he felt her grip tighten even more on his arm. "Hey Steven...." Penelope​ spoke softly, giving a little awkward wave. "Guys, what's going on?" Steven asked, looking at all four of them. "Well Steven, you know how your mother ran away from us...." Blue began to speak. "But we never told you why she did so....." Yellow continued, in which White joined in by finishing with her following words "and we thought it was for a reason in which you were involved in, but we were wrong...." She finished. Steven shook his head "I don't understand..." He answered softly, still looking at Penelope. Blue sighed in defeat "your mother ran away from us because she became pregnant at eighteen years old, in which our mother shunned her for. So much so that it stressed her out so much in which she ran away from home, and gave birth to a child. Now we thought this whole time that we thought that child was you but.....we couldn't be more wrong...." Blue's words trailed off, in which prompted Yellow to continue the story. "After she gave birth to the child, she gave it up for adoption in the hopes the baby would have a better family. She then changed her name and met Greg 3 years later, where you were born." She finished, crossing her arms while sighing. Spinel and Steven listened with widen eyes, he clutched onto an end table tightly as he tried not to pass out from shock. Steven started to see the similarities between him and Penelope, poofy curly hair, kind brown eyes, and sweetened smile. "S-So.... Penelope is my?..." His words trailed off as he gulped heavily. "I'm your.....older sister by three years...." Penelope answered softly, not looking at the male that is her half brother.
