The Roommate

(Amethyst's Pov)

I wake up from my nap on the floor. The cement floor is cold and hard but I still managed to fall asleep on it. The room I'm in doesn't have any windows just one metal door. Since there isn't any windows I've lost count of how long I've been here. I here the sound of footsteps walking towards the door. I pretend sleep.

The door slams open and from the heavy footsteps I can tell that it's Jasper.

"Wakey Wakey Amethyst! I've brought you a surprise!" She says. I hope it's not like the last three surprises. Those were just beat downs.

'Thud'

I hear a groan of pain right after. I peek my eyes open to see that a body bag is on the floor squirming. Jasper kicks it and it stops moving.

"I let you to get acquainted." She says and I hear the door close and lock. I get up from my position on the floor and unzip the bag.

"Pearl?!" I say and she looks up at me.

"Amethyst?!" She says. I help her out of the bag. She hugs me tightly.

"This is where you've been this whole time! I should've said something to the police as soon as I found out about Morgan." She says beating herself up.

"Don't blame yourself. None of would've guessed that she was like this!" I say and she shakes her head. She looks around at the room sadly.

"Well to my humble abode! As you can see we are obviously in a five star hotel! Look at this!" I say excitedly trying to cheer her up. I run over to the dog bowl that I get fed with.

"This is the dining hall!" I say and I run over to the other side.

"This is the entertainment center!" I say pointing to the peeling wall. I pick at the paint when I'm bored. She giggles and I smile.

"How do you manage to make a potentially deadly situation, fun?" She asks and I shrug.

"Guess I'm just that amazing." I say and sit next to her. She laughs.

'Bang'

The door slams open. "Who's doing all of that laughing!" Jasper yells. Pearl looks at the ground scared. I raise my hand.

"I did." I say and I'm picked up and chucked into the wall. I groan and fall on my back. Jasper walks over to me. She steps on my stomach and holds her foot there.

"That'll teach you." She says and she gives me a kick in the side. I tuck into myself and she chuckles.

"You're pathetic." She spits at me and leaves the room. The door slams shut and the lock turns.

"Amethyst! I'm so sorry!" Pearl says and she runs to where I'm laying.

"It's fine P. Just don't laugh as loud next time." I say with a little chuckle. I groan in pain as the chuckle hurts me. I go in to a coughing fit.

"Oh Amethyst." She says and she helps me to sit up. It hurts a little but I try to keep my face neutral.

"Thanks Pearl." I say when I'm completely sitting up and leaned against the wall. She looks up at me.

"Why are you thanking me. I'm the one that got you hurt like this." She says.

"You didn't know so I don't blame you." I say. She bites her lip and glances at her hands.

"Why are you being so nice to me after all the things I've done to you?" She asks me.

"Well all of that is in the past. We're all we have here and a grudge against each other definitely won't help." I say and she smiles a little.

"Thank you." She says and I nod. She leans on the wall next to me.

"Tell me about yourself." I say and she glances at me. She looks forward at the wall.

"I'm a Pearl but it's not because I want to be. It's because all of my sisters were popular in school! Rainbow was the cheerleader's captain. She was the captain of the dance team as well! Opal was the musical genius. She could play any instrument and it would sound beautiful! Even Sardonyx is better than me! She's the classy one that's in a private school. She's the entertaining and funny one. She practically radiates confidence! And I'm just Pearl. I feel as if I have to do something great to be recognized." She says and I hug her. She hugs me back.

"You don't have to claw for recognition. Just be yourself because you're pretty great." I say and she smiles with a blush.

"Time for your meal!" I hear Jasper yell and she tosses another dog bowl filled with this strange gray slop. The slop splashes all over us. Pearl's eyes tear up. I try to comfort her.

"We'll be okay! Don't worry I'm sure everyone is tracking us down as we speak!" I say and she nods. She leans her head on my shoulder. I grab a spoon that was in the slop. I scoop some.

"Want some slop?" I ask her and put the spoon to her lips. She gasps and smacks it away. We laugh quietly.
