Rose used to be her best friend, than Greg took her away. Then she tried to be Greg's friend, and theoretically...tried to be Rose...twice. That's some sad biz right there. There's even more to it: When Amethyst says that Rose used to be "always there for her," she is drawing a comparison between Greg's relationship with Steven and her relationship with Rose. Amethyst didn't just see Rose as a friend; she was like a mother to her. Then Rose started dating Greg and had less and less time for Amethyst. Knowing Amethyst, she probably hid her emotions and let her jealousy built up over time, possibly even after Steven's birth.

With Rose gone, she figured that Rose's lover was the next best thing and used the video tapes to lure him into spending time with her. However, things came to a boiling point when Greg tried to move on, probably realizing the need to be a responsible father to Steven. Desperate to keep her new "dad" to herself, Amethyst transformed into Rose to prey upon Greg's feelings for Rose. It's hard to tell whether he went along with it at first or not, but ultimately he was disgusted by the thought of betraying Rose and kicked Amethyst out. Only for the cycle to repeat again in 10 years or so...

Also, fun little factoid: Amethyst gemstones are actually another type of quartz, so it makes sense that she was close to Rose Quartz and tried to insert herself as part of the Quartz-Universe family.

Of course now I want Amethyst to have "siblings" based on other varieties of quartz (citrine, jasper, agate, etc.).
