A week went by and it seemed like Steven's body we as healing on its own as he was still unconscious. Spinel visited him everyday after school, and was with him all day, everyday, during the weekend. Sometimes she'd just watch him for a bit while holding his hand, sometimes she'd read to him, or tell him about her day, sometimes she'd do her assignments when nothing else was going on, but she kept on hoping that Steven would wake up soon. However that wasn't the case, and Everytime when she had to leave, her disappointment rose higher and higher. The next time she visited Steven, her eyes were red and puffy from crying earlier that day, and when she entered the room, she saw a familiar figure that was sitting next to the unconscious male. "Oh, hey Spinel, I didn't realize that you were visiting today" Penelope stated, her attention turned from the sleeping Steven and towards Spinel. Spinels posture recoiled a little, she then looked away for she still felt awful for punching Penelope out of anger. "Hey it's ok, come sit next to me" Penelope stated, she then patted the second chair next to her. Spinel glanced over at the half sibling hesitantly before shuffling her way over to the chair, she then plopped onto the seat while still glancing away from her. "Hey Spinel, it's ok, I know you're still upset about what happened, but I can understand that you were angry" Penelope explained, which surprised Spinel since she turned her head quickly to look at Stevens half-sister. "You do?..." Spinel asked, well, it came out more like a whisper. "Yeah, I mean.....you have every right to be angry at me, and I have been spending a lot of time with Steven, even during your guys alone time. I didn't realize how bad it was effecting you, and to be honest, I had that sucker punch coming..." Penelope joked at the end, but winced as she held her semi swelled cheek. Spinel noticed this and frowned more than she already was, "thank you for forgiving me, and to be honest, I wasn't really expecting to knock your tooth out like I did. Then again I guess all of that boxing practice pays off" Spinel chuckled awkwardly, and was a little surprised that Penelope giggled along with the fuchsia hair colored female. "Steven mentioned how he introduced you to boxing, and that was before he gave a Kevin a good right hook to his chin" Penelope joked, which earned a small snicker from Spinel. "Yea, thank god, I still shudder every time I remember that shit eating grin of Kevin" Spinel replied, a light smile sat on her face for the first time in a week. "So did the dentist replace your tooth, or did they place your tooth back?" Spinel asked after about a minute of silence. "Oh, yea the dentist placed my tooth back into its spot, and the next day they cleaned and filled a cavity that I didn't know I had, so I'm still a bit sore" Penelope answered, attempting a smile before wincing again in pain.
The half sibling then stood up, "I'm gonna get some water, do you want me to bring you a drink?" she asked, her brown eyes glancing at Spinel. "Yea, I'd like some water as well" she smiled as she answered, honestly Spinel felt like she had a bit of closure, but wished that Steven could witness this heart warming moment. After Penelope left, Spinel stood up and moved closer to the hospital bed, , she grabbed Steven's hand as usual, and ran her thumb over Stevens thumb. After a few seconds of silence, besides the heart monitor beeping, she let out a small sigh before sitting on the edge of the bed, her left side facing the unconscious brown haired male. Spinel studied the peaceful face of the sleeping male, she desperately wanted to see his brown colored eyes, she wanted to hear his sweet and cheerful voice, she wanted to feel his comfortable arms wrapped around her while they cuddle, she desperately missed everything about him. She sighed as she played with the end of one of her fuchsia colored ponytails, twirling a small lock with her index finger. Spinel looked down sadly before laying on the male, her head on Stevens chest, the slightly uncomfortable fabric of the hospital gown itched at her skin, but she ignored it as soon as she tuned into the males slow heartbeat. The thumping of his heart brought a small bit of relief to the female, she closed her eyes as she tuned out the heart monitors beeping, and only focused on the comforting sound of Stevens heart, and her head was raised and lowered every time that Steven breathed. Spinel was so tuned into the audible thumping that was happening inside Stevens chest that she didn't notice that the heart monitor's annoying beeping picked up it's pace, nor did she notice that the unconscious male's eyelids began to flutter. Steven flinched from the brightness of the rooms light, he blinked his brown colored eyes so he could adjust to the lighting. He then felt something somewhat heavy on his chest, which made him realize how sore his whole body felt, in which triggered an audible groan to escape past his lips. Spinel had her eyes shut right until she heard the groan, her head snapped up at the same time she looked at him, her pink colored orbs wide with shock and hope. "Ohh stars.... What happened?..." Steven grunted as he attempted to sit up, holding his head only to feel the bandage wrapped around his forehead. "STEVEN!" Spinel shouted in excitement before tackling the male by hugging him around his neck, she then peppered his face with loving smooches. Steven gave a grunt before giggling at the tickling sensation of Spinels kisses, "Sp-Spinel stop that tickles!" He laughed, but he couldn't help but hug the female back. "No way, I missed giving your face loving little pecks and now I'm catching you up on what you missed~" Spinel smirked before kissing her boyfriend on the lips. Steven was a bit surprised but quickly returned the kiss as he wrapped his arms around Spinel once again. They stayed in that position for a little bit before Steven had to pull away to breath, "what happened? I remember pushing you out of the way of the car.....did I get hit by it?" He asked as he rested his forehead against Spinels forehead. "Y-Yea, it was awful.....me and Penelope were so scared when we saw your body like that, I vomited at how unnaturally bent your leg was...." Spinel sighed, giving a small shudder from the horrific memory. Steven frowned and gave a small sigh, "I'm sorry I scared you, how long was I out?" He apologized before asking his question. "Uh.....about a week Steven...." Spinel answered, her pink colored eyes locking onto Stevens surprised brown eyes. Steven gulped at her response, "geez.... how's everyone else doing? How's Dad?" He asked, concerned about how his friends reacted from his accident. "Amethyst and Greg were there with me when you were admitted and have visited you everyday, and of course both were very worried. Lapis and Peridot were also worried but were only able to visit you a couple times, and the same goes for Jasper. Garnet and Pearl have been visiting you everyday when they can, and good GOD Pearl wouldn't stop shouting and screaming bout of fear that you'd die. The Diamonds were also scared but could only visit you once, and the same goes for Connie, which I understand. As for Penelope-" Spinel was almost done with her explanation, but two audible squealing could be heard from the doorway, which made the female turn around to see who it was. Both Amethyst and Penelope rushed to hug the conscious Steven, Penelope dropped the two bottles of water while Amethyst continued to clutch onto a "get well soon" balloon as the pair hugged Steven and Spinel. The couple didn't mind however, as they hugged the excited pair of females back with the same strength and emotion that the hug brought.
