The Next Day
August 15th
4:20am
"Mina, Mina wake up" Steven whispered "What?" Mina asked annoyingly "Your phone, it's ringing" Steven replied "Here, give it" Mina requested "Here" Steven said handing her the phone. "Hello?" Mina answered "Hello?" She said again, "Who is it?" Steven asked "I- I don't know. Hello?" She said again after answering Steven, "HELLO?" Mina said louder. "Just hang up, it's probably a wrong number" Steven suggested. Mina hung up but she was oddly weirded out about her phone call, "Did they say anything? At all?" Steven asked "No, I knew someone was there though. I could hear them breathing" Mina explained "Oh, that's odd" Steven pointed out, "Yeah, what- what time is it" Mina yawned "4:29, why?" Steven replied "Who calls at 4:30 in the morning?" Mina asked sarcastically "I don't know, it's stu-" Steven was cut off by the sound of Mina's phone ringing "Ugh, AGAIN!" Mina yelled "Here, let me" Stevn said, answering the phone
Over the phone:
Steven & Unknown
Steven: "Hello?"
Steven: HELLO?
Steven: LOOK WHOEVER THIS IS, IT ISN'T FUNNY!
Steven: STOP CALLING HER!
Unknown: *Screaming*
"Jesus!" Steven yelled, hanging up the phone, "What? What happened?" Mina asked "I-I don't know" Steven stuttered "Someone screamed" "Who?" "I- I don't know" Steven stuttered.
Around 6am Steven woke up and tried to be quiet and leave Mina to sleep in. While he was leaving Steven looked over at Mina and she had tears on her face, but she was asleep. "Mina?" Steven said walking back over to her, "Mina?" "Mm,*sniffle*" Mina said in her sleep, "Oh, Mina. Hey?" Steven said sitting back on the bed "Mina, Mina wake up" "Mina," Steven said slightly shaking Mina, "Mm, what?" Mina said sadly "What's wrong?" Steven said softly, "I-I don't know, I- just-I" Mina said trying to calm down "Hey, hey. Shh, it's okay" Steven said, hugging her "I- I miss him" Mina said crying, "I know, I do too. But hey, look at me" Steven said, "What" Mina said looking up at him. "It's okay, he is safe now. You know that" Steven said "I-I know I just.. I'm just sad" "You know what, I was gonna go back today. But I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving you here like this" Steven said holding her, "No, Just- just go home" "WHAT! No way! I'm not leaving you here if you're crying" Steven said softly, "Are-Are you sure" Mina stuttered "Positive'' "O-Okay. Thank you" "Don't thank me. It's my offer, my choice" Steven explained "Here, lay down. Just sit here for a bit" Steven said, laying down with her. After a bit Mina fell back asleep and Steven just held her so she felt safe.
