(Star's POV)
Things have been so much different since the battle against Mina. I kept thinking I would have a choice to make: Magic or Marco. Well, it turns out I didn't have to make that choice at all thanks to a dual spell by Eclipsa and my Mom. They worked together as they should have done the whole time. We still have our magic, but its just that in the human world, we appear human. In other words, I don't have anything on my cheeks in the human world.
But magic or no magic, at least I still had my Marco. In fact, we were going on a date today. That's why I was heading to his house. But when I got there, I was surprised to see Marco sitting there with Jackie. Both were holding hands.
"Marco. What's going on? We have a date today, don't we?" I asked as Jackie looked at Marco, who looked back at me before sighing.
"Star, look: I care about you. I always will. But....my parents....well they feel like it's better if we just stay friends. And trust me: That isn't my choice by a long shot. They were really worried about me with all of that magic action with Mina and Eclipsa and your Mom. I have a sister that needs her brother. My Mom kept telling me that. They don't hate you or blame you at all. But they feel like maybe it's best if you and I just see other people while staying best friends." Marco said, sadness clear in his voice as Jackie hugged him and motioned for me to come join the hug, which I did.
I was hurt. But this wasn't Marco's choice. It was his parents just being parents and I could totally understand that. But it didn't make the pain hurt any less.
I hugged them before leaving. I just wanted to be alone, even though I'm sure that isn't what Marco or Jackie wanted me to do.
*Meanwhile*
(Narrator's POV)
"Ugh. Man, it's not even been a month and I'm already missing Steven. It's harder to clean up when he isn't here." Amethyst groaned as she was cleaning up around the house per Pearl's orders. Normally, she'd have Steven to help her out, but since he was gone, she was on her own.
*Knock Knock*
"Who could that be? It's open! Come in!" Amethyst said as the door opened and Connie walked in with a tall Indian boy in what looked to be a polo shirt and jeans, much to the confusion of Amethyst.
"Hey Amethyst. What's up? Are you busy?" Connie asked as the Purple Gen just glared at her for a moment, hoping to the Stars that Connie hadn't done what she thought she had done to Steven.
"Connie. Who is this guy?" Amethyst asked as the boy looked at the Purple Gem with a bit of disgust.
"My name is Koda Bava. I'm Connie's new boyfriend." The boy said in a snobbish tone that made Amethyst want to punch him.
"Oh are you now? Well did she mention that she already has a boyfriend who just so happens to be my brother?" The Purple Gem asked, now ready to beat the crap out of both of them.
"Oh you mean Stephen or whatever his name is? Yeah, Connie told him off as best as she could. He didn't sound like he took it well either if I heard correctly during their phone conversation." Koda said with no remorse in his voice for Steven as Amethyst looked ready to explode.
"Amethyst, please hear me out..." Connie began to say...
"Get. Out. Now." Amethyst said in a low and angered voice.
"Hey now you listen to me!..." Koda began to say until Amethyst slammed him throat first against the wall!
"GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE! BOTH OF YOU! AND IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN, CONNIE, I'LL PUT MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOUR NON-EXISTENT ASS THAT YOUR MOM IS GONNA HAVE TO SURGICALLY REMOVE IT! NOW YOU AND YOUR ASSHOLE NEW BOYFRIEND GET THE HELL OUT!" Amethyst roared as Connie and Koda ran out in fear.
After calming down with a few deep breaths, Amethyst sighed and looked up at the family portrait of her, Garnet, Pearl and Steven. How in the world was she going to tell this to Garnet, Pearl and Greg? And who knows what state of mind Steven's in. Quickly grabbing her phone, she tried calling Steven. And just as she feared, it went right to his voicemail.
"This isn't good. This isn't good at all..." The Purple Gem said with worry as she could only imagine Steven's heartbroken reaction to Connie dumping him for a stuck up jerk like Koda as Lapis and Peridot walked in the house.
"Everything alright, Amethyst? We just saw Connie and some other human running like they saw a Gem beast." Peridot said as Amethyst sighed.
"Yeah. That Gem Beast was me. I might as well be with how angry I am at Connie and her new boyfriend!" The Purple Gem angrily replied as Lapis crossed her arms.
"Wait. New Boyfriend?!? What about Steven?!? Does he know about this?!?" The blue Gem asked.
"Sadly, yeah. Connie broke up with him over the phone and when I called him to check on him, he didn't answer. Now I'm even more worried. But I still have to let Garnet, Pearl and Greg know and THAT'S gonna be tough. " Amethyst sighed as she crossed her arms and tried to think of what to do.
And another Break up! Oh and fun fact about Koda's last name? It literally means "grime" or "muck", just like his attitude! Anyway, see ya next chapter!
