On the way home connie looked lifeless, like her soul had left her body and now she was just a walking corpse. When connie got home she saw steven snuggled up to spinel like a life line with spinel curled up under him, it was sickingly cute and it just made the the immensely jealousy inside her grow more. She went upstairs to their room and looked at her mirror and what she saw made her gasp in shock, the girls were right, she was depressed. Her eyes did look like they had bags with bags, they were also red from her crying so much, and she looked alittle pale with her hair a mess. Connie stared at the mirror for a few more seconds before setting it down and thinking of a way to stop this before she spirals too deep and things get out of hand.
"I can't keep going on like this, if I do then...." connie whispered to herself
"But I can't just leave steven and spinel....well maybe steven, he seems like he doesn't care, but spinel" connie murmered to herself
Connie knew the kid like gem would have another mental breakdown if anyone else left her, and she just didnt have the heart to do that to her.Connie sighed and went to go get ready for bed as she thought of way to save herself from this depressing rabbit hole before she does something she'll regret.
(Next morning)
Connie got out of bed and washed up and went down stairs to see steven and spinel giggling together steven feed her. Connie just grimaced and looked away and continued walking down the stairs to sit om the couch. She sat on the couch and pulled her legs under her in a sidesaddle position with her hands in her lap, she turned on the t.v and tried to drown out the laughter of spinel and stevens heartfelt laughter.
"Oh morning connie, didn't see you there" steven greeted as he cleaned up the table
"Hey, steven" connie answered emotionless, not even looking at steven
"Connie.....is something wrong?" spinel asked worried as she got up and went to sit by connie
"Why would you seem something is wrong?" connie asked back as she turned to spinel with dull and lifeless eyes
Spinel felt a cold hard shiver run down her back, those eyes looked an awfully like hers.....or used to be her
"Well i just umm" spinel stuttered to say
"Hey cupcake don't forget we have a date tonight" steven called warmly as he came to sit down
Spinel saw something flash inside connie's eyes but it was gone as quick as it appeared, she saw connie get up and walk away just as steven sat down.She had to do something quick!.
"Wait connie!" spinel called
That seemed to have caught her attention as she turned to look at her, it also caught stevens attention aswell
"Connie, why don't you come with us on the date, all 3 of us together?" spinel asked hopefully
"What?, but cupcake wouldn't that be kinda weird for all 3 of us?" steven questioned
Spinel mentally facepalmed at how steven was acting, she was trying to get connie to spend time with them not push her away further. Connies grip on the staircase tightened as she felt her fury rise.
"Yeah, that would be kinda weird wouldn't, a man with his 2 wives, yeah that wouldn't sit right with people, would it?" connie hissed. her voice laced with venom
Spinel recoiled at how her wife's voice was so venomous, she knew she was talking about steven the most, but couldn't help that it was directed at her too. She just watched and turned as connie walked up stairs and slammed the door in their room. Spinel turned around and began to cry.
"Cupcake, what happened, are you ok, do you want something?!!" steven asked panicked as he tried to comfort her
Spinel didnt respond, afraid of choking on her words as she wondered what was to become of her marriage.
(Connie's POV)
I slammed the door behind my back and went to my bed where i flopped face first on the soft furniture.
"Stupid steven" connie murmurerd
She thought back to her childhood and remembered how alone she was, until she met steven. How her life became more interesting and how she finally got her first friend and best friend. How she went on magical adventures in her youth, and how her and steven became jam buds. She then thought to her teen years, when she was studying to get into college while steven was battling his own inner demons after the spinel thing. And now here she is now, 21 years old in a polygamous marriage with a man who'd much rather take care of his other wife then his first. Connie's eyes began to water as she remembered all the good times she had when she didn't have to compete for stevens affection, hell she didn't even have to try, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve and decided that she needed time to think, but not here, anywhere but here. She put her hair up in a ponytail and put on a lilac, flowered dress and packed some more cloths. She grabbed her purse and decided that she didn't want steven or spinel knowing where she went, not that they would care. So she climbed out the window and started on her way to her nearest friends house.
Meanwhile down stairs spinel was having a crisis, she didn't know what else to do, connie didn't even WANT to spend time with them and it's all stevens fault.
"what am i going to do, shes going to end up DIVORCING us if we dont do anything" spinel worried to herself
"Did you say something cupcake?" steven called
Spinel didn't respond, to wrapped in her thoughts
"Spinel, is everything ok?" steven called
Still no response
"Spinel?" steven asked again as he put a hand on her
That seemed to snap her out of it as she came back to reality, she looked back at steven and smiled, but it was hollow.
"Steven, im gonna go check on connie ok?" spinel said with a small smile
"umm, ok" steven answered
Spinel went upstairs and into the bedroom. Steven sat on the couch and wathced t.v, until he heard a horrifying shriek and instantly ran upstairs.
"CUPCAKE, WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU OK??!! I'M HERE!!" Steven yelled
He found spinel slumped on the floor with her hands over her eyes with tears streaming down her face.
"Spinel are you ok, what happened?!" steven asked panicked as he sat down by her side and tried to comfort her
"Connie, she-she's gone" Spinel sobbed as steven tried rubbed circles on her back and rocked her back and forth in his arms
