Here it is: probably my favorite of all the fanfics I have ever written...hope you enjoy as much as I did TTuTT

Anemone

My great-grandmother was straight.

My grandmother was straight.

My mother was straight.

And then...there's me.

I remember the night that I told her. It was at a banquet hall filled with roasted pork, fancy salad, and chocolate fountains, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the family business. I had come with my girlfriend, Lapis.

And she asked who Lapis was.

I should've known not to tell her,"Oh, she's my girlfriend, mom!"

I should've known that she would've started freaking out and calling for security, who literally threw Lapis out of the building. And before the door shut behind her, I caught a glimpse of her face; an ugly mixture of anger, fear, digust, and sadness.

She hasn't talked to me since.

Well, probably because that was last night?

And it's two in the morning.

Not to mention the facts that the road became a blur hours ago, I'm tipsy, for some reason there's traffic, and my face HURTS.

I think my extremely tired mind is getting to me.

Suddenly, ukelele music blasts out from beside me.

'LIFE AND DEATH AND LOVE AND BIRTH AND PEACE AND WAR ON THE PLANET EARTH...

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT'S WORTH MORE THAN PEACE AND LOVE ON THE PLANET EARTH?'

"Aw SHIT, not NOW!" I yell, fumbling in the passengers seat for my phone.

I finally grab hold of it and look at the screen, making sure to still look at the road. The screen is flashing the name 'amethyst' and the background is showing a picture of a short, sort-of chubby woman with dark brown hair.

I answer the phone. "WHAT."

The person on the other end snorts. "What the fuck happened NOW, Peri?"

"Amethyst, has Lapis seriously not told everyone in the world what Mom did?"

"OH MY GOD, Peri, NO, you know Lapis isn't like that!" Amethyst says. "She's the boring type! The non-tumblr kind!"

I roll my eyes."Do you not understand what I'm trying to say?"

"I never understand anything you say. It's always too smarticles for me." Amethyst states, lowering her voice. "Oh, Peri? Can you...not be home for a while? I'm having Pearl over, and, as you know...things could get messy…" she chuckles lightly.

"Too much information, Amethyst." I bite out.

"But it's the truth. So can you…rent a room at Keystone Motel please?"

"No, Amethyst, I-"

"Peri, come ON!"

"I'VE HEARD ENOUGH!" I yell, accidently slamming my fist against the car horn.

There's a long silent pause from the other end. Then: "Geez, now you REALLY sound like your mom, Peri."

I pull the phone away from my ear, seething. My finger starts hovering over the 'End Call' button. Because really, being told that I sound like my mom is the last thing I need to hear right now. "DID I MENTION THAT NOW I HAVE TO GET FUCKING COUNSELING APPOINTMENTS, NOW!?"

"Wait, wha-"

I press the 'End Call' button, feeling blue.

Her favorite color.

I see the sign for the motel in my blurred, warped vision, and pull into the parking lot.

I slam my head on the steering wheel and start crying harder, mascara running down my face.

Eventually I drift into sleep, still crying...dreaming of my mother beating up Amethyst, Lapis, and...me.

Oh, finally I'm publishing the first chapter to this!

Haha, I can't wait for people to read this...

Side Note: There will be two OCs in this story: Flint Firestone and Kat Eyes.

Each chapter is represented by a flower, hence the title.
