57. The terrible truth

--- Wait, what ?! The Rose was a Pink Diamond !? - everyone who was in the living room sat with surprised faces. Rose Quartz, the leader of the resistance, was the Pink Diamond, the one they were fighting against.

--- This explains a lot. - Bismuth sat and scratched her head and thought.

--- Are you saying that Pink Diamond was fighting against herself ? Then what was the meaning of this war at all ?! - Peridot walked up and down the room and muttered to herself.

Others had almost the same reaction. Pink Diamond = Rose Quartz, just fantastic. But Augustus only cared about two gems, Garnet and Jasper. He saw that those ate were restraining themselves so as not to explode.

--- Wait ! - Peridot stopped abruptly and looked at Stephen

--- If Rose Quartz was a Diamond, and she gave her body to Stephen. Then Stephen is also a Pink Diamond ?

[ BANG ]

It seems that Jasper could no longer hold back. Out of anger, she broke a wall in the house and left through it.

--- Hold on, we can't break up. - Garnet also held on for too long, but when she couldn't stand it anymore, she broke up into Sapphire and Ruby.

---Sapphire ! Calm down.

--- Calm down ?! Ruby ! She looked at us, held our hand and lied right into our eyes !

--- Let's just calm down and talk.

--- What are we going to talk about?! That our love was based on a lie ?!

--- Sapphire ....

--- Sorry, Ruby, but no. I need to be alone. - Saphir used the Warp and left.

" I knew that it would lead to something like this. Now we need to deal with this. "

--- I'll go for the Jasper and you go for the Sapphire. - Augustus went up to Pearl and whispered in her ear, after which he set off in the footsteps of Jasper.

It was very easy to determine where the Jasper was located. Just follow the destroyed trees, stones, earth. In general, go for the destruction.

Soon, he found Jasper. She continued to destroy everything, and soon there was a forest on the place of gle, a small clearing was formed.

--- Jasper...

--- Why ?! Why did she do that?! - Jasper continued to ruin everything without looking back at August.

--- She was everything to me ! I was ready to give my life for her !

--- Jasper, look at me.

--- What was the meaning of the war?! Why did my comrades give their lives ?! That she was playing at war ?!

--- JASPER ! - this time Jasper turned to him. There were tears on her face.

--- What's the point ? Why ?

--- I don't know.

--- Then who knows ?

--- Nobody.

--- What should I do now ? How to live with this knowledge ?

--- Jasper. - Augustus came up to her and put his hands on her shoulders.

--- Look, I'm not a master at choosing words, but I'll tell you what. Just keep living and don't turn around.

--- Without turning around ?

--- Yes. Forget about the past, live in the present.

--- How can I forget this ?

--- No way. No one can forget or erase memories. We live with this, with our past, with our mistakes, with wounds. You can never forget.

--- I'm confused

--- Me too, so let's go home.

--- I don't understand you.

--- Sometimes, I don't understand myself. But still, you decided to follow me.

--- Yes, my lord.

--- Let's go home, I feel there is also a mess going on there.

...

The next hours of August's life were filled with tears and consolation.

Pearl and Stephen were able to return the Sapphire, but now Ruby is gone. And Pearl and Sapphire began to sob. Augustus could understand Sapphire, but why Pearl ?

August sent Stephen and Jasper on a search, and he stayed and calmed Sapphire and Pearl as best he could. For the first time in his life, he saw a whole ocean of tears, and how many napkins they spent, horror.

Hours passed, and there was no news. Tears were already reaching August's waist, and hope left him when Stephen finally broke into the house and led them there. where Ruby was.

They reached the place and saw Ruby in a cowboy outfit. There was a long speech by Ruby, the words of Sapphire that she was sorry. And in general, it all came down to one sentence.

--- Sapphire , marry me !

And now, August is sitting and helping the newlyweds with the design of wedding invitations. And so, out of anger, despair, resentment and regret, it came to the wedding.

" Everything turned out in a way that I didn't even dare to think about. "

--- August, you will be my driver.

--- Ruby, do you even know who this is ?

--- No. but Stephen said that he should be.

--- Okay, I agree.

--- Cool ! This is the first time I take part in a wedding ! - Stephen couldn't sit still for joy in one place.

--- Stephen, you will be holding more weddings in the future.

--- Really?! Saphir, who will have a wedding ?

Saphir turned and looked at August. A shiver ran down his spine.

--- No. no, no. It's too early for me to get married !

--- My prediction never lies.

The most terrible thing was that I felt three hungry eyes on me. He already knew that it was Pearl, Lapis and Peridot.

" Wedding....I don't think I'm ready for it. " - Except, no one asked you.
