Connection ~ (Highschool AU - Catradora)

Chapter 41

Adora's POV

I don't exactly know what happened after I left Catra's house, but all I know is I ended up sprinting to Glimmer's house. My shaking hand pounding against the glass door, my legs practically giving out as I made it to her doorstep.

I tried to hold it together as I watched Glimmer approach closer to the door from the inside, flicking on the porch light and squinting. A quick wiggle of the knob and the door was flung open.

"Adora..what are you doing he-"

I quickly stumbled forward, my ability to keep consciousness faded at that moment. My body completely slumping against Glimmer.

I heard a small gulping noise come from Glimmer's throat as she held me up a bit straighter, "Come on, let's get you inside".

Deciding not to protest, she half-dragged me inside to her living room and plopped me down onto the couch.

"Tea? Anything to drink?" She offered, staring down at me.

My head was down and my shoulders sagged, "Sure.."

Quick footsteps made their way into the kitchen, a few clanking of cups and the sound of the sink turning on. I made myself busy with staring at a piece of fuzz that was stuck onto my shoelace.

I noted to myself that Bow must've been here earlier since his jacket seemed to be lying on the couch as well. I secretly stared at the kitchen that was behind the couch I was sitting on and watched Glimmer stare intently at the two teacups that had tea bags in them. The steam rising and winding around Glimmer's face.

I quickly faced forward again and played with my phone in my pocket. A side of me really wanted Catra to text me. But..then again I was the one storming out on her. I shook my head quickly.

'Don't feel pity for her. She brought this onto herself' I thought to myself. I fiddled with my thumbs and finally pulled out my phone. I chewed on my lower lip as I stared down at some previous texts with Catra last week.

Catra: thinking about u

Adora: How coincidental, me too!

Catra: me? or urself?

Adora: You know what I meant stupid!

Catra: ugh u use too much grammar. going to sleep. hate u bye

Adora: Don't be such a stick in the mud! I miss you! Talk to me!

Catra: go to sleep

Adora: Fine, goodnight! :)

Catra: im messing w you, what do you want to talk to about

Adora: Call?

Catra: Sure, gimmie 5

Call ended (Duration: 4:12:05)

I ran a tired hand through my messy hair as I shut off my phone. My back slouching against the couch, how could yesterday going from that too whatever this is now. I closed my eyes and decided to just wait for Glimmer to come back with the tea.

"Stupid me..going to check our texts" I mumbled.

"What was that?"

I jumped suddenly and my eyes flew open, landing on Glimmer that was holding a tray that had 2 mugs and some cookies.
