Start writing your story

Garnet has had a long and rough day at work, she is glad she can retire for the night. Her muscles are sore, her head aches, and her eyes burn. All she wants to do is head to bed. Being a police officer is a hard task, especially when you have a family. However she is happy that she gets to do what she loves everyday. The dark skinned woman wipes a trail of sweat resting on her brows away.

Garnet pulls out her keys from the key hole, her truck shuts down. She unfastens her seat belt, grabs her bag, and unplugs her phone from the car charger. The tired cop pushes the door open, stepping out of the burgundy vehicle. On accident, Garnet slams the door shut due to her level of drowsiness. She tenses, waiting for the house's lights to flicker on and for Pearl to come running out. Nothing, thank the stars.

Garnet takes off her old, dark shades and looks up at the night sky. The moon lights up the sapphire sky. A few stars litter the sky like small, white freckles. She then peeks at her watch, the led lights read ten o' clock. Pearl must be worried, who wouldn't be if your wife was a cop?

Sighing, Garnet readjusts her bag on her broad shoulder and walks up the cobblestone path leading to their house's front door. She can see the silhouette of Pearl's vegetables in their garden. Garnet looks back on when her and Pearl had just bought the house together. The memory has always felt new to her. Anything with Pearl did.

The tall woman smiles at the thought of Pearl. A small blush dusts her chocolate face. She finds her house key and unlocks the door, walking inside her light blue house. Quietly, Garnet closes the door, hoping that Pearl or her daughter would not wake up. Out of the corner of her eye, Garnet realizes the kitchen light is on.

Knowing how environmental Pearl was, Garnet tip toes toward the kitchen to turn off the light. The dark wood floorboards slightly groan, she inwardly curses. As she comes closer, her stomach fills with worry and her heart sinks. Her temples drum from the levels of stress she was given during the day. What if Pearl is in the kitchen ready to explode? What if Pearl or Sardonyx are hurt or worse? She wouldn't be able to live on without Pearl again, after what had happened the last time...

Slowly, Garnet walks into the light and sighs in relief what she finds. Sardonyx is standing in the kitchen with a fresh pot of coffee in her hand and a huge grin on her almond face.

"Coffee?" the teen asks, Garnet scowls.

"Sardonyx, what are you doing up so late?" Garnet whispers angrily as she sets her bag and keys down on the amber countertop, "especially on a school night?"

"I know what you're thinking," her daughter reassures her and starts to explain, "but I just cannot sleep, there's just somethin' that has been driving me bonkers. And I couldn't ask other mother because she was so exhausted when she came home so I thought I could ask you."

"What is it?"

"How do you and other mother get along so well? You're so cool and calm and she's so...." Sardonyx taps her chin, "squawky and nerdy."

Garnet pours herself a cup of coffee and leans against the counter, "your mother and I have our differences..."

"No, I don't mean that, you guys are both huge nerds..." Sardonyx restates, "what I'm asking is how you guys became to be. What's your story?"

Garnet stirs the creamer in the coffee with the thin red straw, her lips pressed together, "you might be a little young for the story."

"So? I go to middle school, they basically teach curse words there," Sardonyx chuckles.

"Alright," Garnet smiles, "it's a long one though."

"Okay."

"It all began...."
