Before we start I wanted to warn you guys that there'll be some offensive language about Sugilite being a lesbian. I'm not trying to be offensive GAY ROCKS UNITE!

Amethyst's pov

"Finally you guys showed up." I smirked, sliding off Opal's car.

"Oh, Opal." Pearl said, looking up from her nerd book. She put it in her nerd bag and pulled on her skirt.

"Yeah, alright. Let's do this." Opal said, getting in the car.

"You sure you wanna come with us?" Sugi asked, throwing her bag in the car.

"I have to. Who knows what could happen." I climbed in the back, and Pearl crawled after me.

"I still think we should contact social services." She said all snootily.

"Pearl, you know we can't do that." Opal glared at us through the mirror. She started driving away from the school and towards our house. "Where is he?"

"It's Wednesday. He's probably on his booze run." I sulked. Opal nodded, pulling down our street.

"Opal." Sugi said. "Are you sure..." Opal nodded again, pulling to the curb.

"Clothes. Personal hygiene. Anything special. Nothing else." She opened the door and got out of the car. "Let's go."

"Amethyst, your room is..." Pearl said quietly, looking at my pokes if clothes and random Crap.

"Eh. Sugilite's floor has clothes on it and the living room is bottle city." I said carelessly, grabbing my backpack and stuffing it with clothes.

"You look just like her."

"Huh?" I stood up, already knowing that Pearl was at my dresser looking at the pictures.

"Your mother. You look just like her." I snorted.

"Yeah, right." I walked over to Pearl and grabbed the frame from her hands, putting it back on the dresser.

"There's lots of pictures of you with friends... Greg.... Vidalia, is it? But most curiously... Ruby." I gulped.

"Yeah, so? That was in the past." I grabbed the picture and crumpled it up, throwing it into a trash pile.

Pearl pouted, but I just grabbed the rest of my stuff.

"Okay, let's go." I said, meeting up with Opal and Sugilite in the hallway. Opal opened her mouth to say something, when the front door opened.

"What the hell are you girls doing back here?" We all walked into the living room and saw my old man standing there with a bag full 'o booze.

"Getting our shit." Sugilite snapped. He chuckled.

"We've got the fag and her bitch,"   Sugilite grabbed Opal defensively.

"And we've got the unwanted whore."

"I'm not a whore!" I yelled. "And I'm not unwanted." He chuckled again.

"Yes you are. You're so worthless your mother left!" He raised his hand and I closed my eyes, bracing for impact.

But he didn't hit me.

The sound if the slap echoed in my head, and I opened my eyes in time to see Pearl fall and catch her.

"Pearl!" We all yelled. The asshole disappeared and Sugi grabbed Pearl, carrying her to Opal's car.

"Holy shit." I climbed into the seat after Pearl.

"Hey P." I said, leaning in the doorway.

"Oh, Amethyst." She turned and looked at me. The bruise on her right cheek was big and dark.

"I'm sorry. You didn't have to do that." Pearl smiled, tired.

"Amethyst, I know what it's like to be hit and bullied. Trust me, Jasper can deal a lot of damage. I didn't want you to have to deal with it anymore." I walked over to the bed and hugged her.

"Thank you." I started crying, something I didn't do much.

"Here, I saved you something." Pearl handed me a piece of paper. I turned it over and saw the picture of me and Ruby.

"Thanks P."

Random fact of the day:It's so freakin hard to write as Amethyst because I try to use words she'd use. It's easiest for me to write as Pearl, Peridot, and Opal. You know what? We need a Peri chapter!
