Their forbidden love (Steven Universe)

Chapter Three

Connie walked past the big donut towards the beach. She walked around the giant hill heading to the beach house. She was excited to see Steven, they hadn't spoken in four days. She liked him so much, but she was afraid that he would not return her love. Connie slowed her steps as she saw Steven's home. It looked different, it was 3/4 complete. Like someone took a bite out of it. She walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. The door opened and she was greeted by Garnet.
"Oh hi Garnet, is Steven home?" Connie asked.Garnet cringed. "What's wrong?" Connie said worried
"Well, Steven is home, but not exactly here." Garnet had forgotten about Connie, they should have told her as well. Knowing how much Steven liked this human girl, they should have told her the first day he was gone.
"What do you mean?" Connie said.
"Garnet who is it?" Pearl asked from inside the house. She came up behind Garnet with a basket that held a lump of cloth and their most prized gem. Pearl saw Connie and grimaced, then ran back inside the house.
"Garnet where is Steven?" Connie said Sternly.
"Connie, if you would like to come inside and talk with me, and with me FIRST, then to Pearl I will be more than happy to let you in." Garnet said.
"Yes of cou-"
"BUT you have to promise you will stay calm." Garnet finished.
"I don't like promises, but I will try to stay calm." Connie answered.
Garnet stepped aside and Connie entered the House. She looked around and noticed there wasn't much furniture, she only saw Steven's room pretty well furnished and there was one couch downstairs. The couch was an L-shape that was up against the wall and wrapped around to the end of the stairs. Garnet closed the door and sat on the couch. She motioned for Connie to sit on the little side of the couch. Connie sat down and looked at Garnet. Garnet looked in the direction of the kitchen not wanting to make eye contact.
"Connie, I know you care deeply for Steven, which is why I ask that you don't freak out. Steven may not have told you but I have future vision, I see many ways you will react...hopefully you stay calm."
"I hope it isn't to bad..." Connie stated.
"Pearl!" Garnet yelled. "Bring him in!"
Pearl entered the house with the basket. She walked to the couch and sat next to Garnet, Pearl sat the basket carefully on her lap. She picked up the cloth from inside and unwrapped it. She picked up the gem from inside the cloth and put her hands out, cradling the gem for Connie to see.
Connie had tears in her eyes.
"Is this him?" Connie asked.
"Yes, it's him." Pearl handed it to her and leaned back on the couch.
"What happened to him?" Connie said with a sniffle.
"We think he had to retreat during a battle with a corrupted gem." Pearl said.
"You THINK?" Connie emphasized.
"We don't know exactly, it happened in the middle of the night," Pearl told her almost word for word what she told Greg. "Garnet thinks he will be back today." Pearl said.
"I don't think. I know." Garnet said.
Connie looked down at the gem in her hands.
"Can I stay here and wait till he comes back?" Connie said wiping her nose with her sleeve.
"Of course, you can even take care of him, but tell us if anything happens." Pearl said. She stood up and walked to the temple door. Her gem glowed and the door opened to Pearl's room. She looked back at Connie and entered the room as the door shut behind her. Garnet walked to the warp pad and disappeared in a beam of light without saying a word.
"I wish you were here, I feel weird being here when you're not..." Connie went upstairs and turned on the television. She set the Pink gem beside her as she watched the Intro of 'Under the knife'.
