It was a direct call from the Diamond Line code that Peridot had implemented into Connie’s phone, so she could call reinforcements off-planet if it was necessary or the other way around.īut that was only the first red flag she noticed. But it wasn’t Steven’s phone number calling her it wasn’t even a phone number at all. At first, she immediately sat up with a hopeful expression, thinking it was Steven. Unfortunately, the anxious paranoia among the three proved justified when Connie got a call from her phone. It only festered and made her even sicker. As desperately as Connie tried to calm herself down by thinking of reasons Steven would not reply that weren’t life-threatening or world-ending, this was Steven she was talking about. He was usually pretty quick with replying, and history had proved that when Steven did not reply, something was happening. No reply from Steven was NEVER a good thing. Daniel and Patricia did the same, but no reply. Connie had texted Steven a few times and even tried to call him. Closing her eyes, Connie silently prayed that Steven was safe.įifteen painstakingly slow minutes passed as the trio grew more paranoid for their close friend's safety. Yes, he was tough, he could always shake off the violent, stray anti-gem person with ease, but he was still vulnerable in a sense, even with the powers of a gem monarch. The trip to Jayhawk was the first road trip Steven had gone on all by himself. Overthinking and planning was a trait of hers. She was Connie Maheswaran she couldn't help but worry. As Connie pressed her finger against the power button, dread and anxiety sank deep into her chest when she noticed none of her notifications were messages from Steven. Connie slumped backward onto her blanket and pulled out her phone. Patricia stood up, walking over to her desk. Many times, actually.” Daniel chimed in with a small chuckle, eyes still glued to the intersection.Ĭonnie nodded, rubbing her arms again. Half Diamond, right? He can take care of himself, he’s done it before. He watched the cars drive by, squinting his eyes, trying to find Steven’s Dondai in the massive wave of traffic. Connie knew Patricia was right, but she just couldn’t shake the sinking dread in her chest.Īs Patricia scrolled through her phone, Daniel opened the blinds and peered outside the window, pressing his palms against the windowsill as he leaned over. Daniel nodded in agreement, then walked over to the window, crossing his arms as he stared out at the parking lot a few feet away from the dorm building. “Maybe he’s in traffic? Maybe the weather? Phone died on him? I don’t know, there could be millions of reasons more likely than him getting hurt.” Patricia reassured as she pulled out her small purple phone, pressing the power button to check for messages. “He’s not responding to my texts, I-I haven’t tried calling him yet, but…” Connie trailed off, anxiety twisting her gut and drying out her throat as she tried to think of all the logical reasons Steven wasn’t here yet. She knew she and Daniel were worried, but Patricia also knew she couldn’t even begin to imagine how Connie felt at that moment. Getting up from her bed, she sat down next to Connie, hugging her. Patricia sighed and placed her laptop beside her. With a heavy sigh, she slouched into a sitting position on her bed, bouncing her leg as she lowered her head and ran her fingers through her hair. She paused, then looked up, glancing out the window. “He should have been here by now…” Connie muttered, more to herself than anyone else. Patricia seemed as worried as both Connie and Daniel combined as she fumbled with her sleeves, glancing at her phone every now and then. “You alright, Connie?” Daniel queried with an anxious tone. Daniel got up from Patricia’s office chair with a worried expression, placing a hand on Connie’s shoulder. Stats: Published: Updated: Words: 28079 Chapters: 6/?
