Ten-Distance
Sugi's pov
The sound of my phone ringing woke me up. I must have fallen asleep while studying, because I was face down in notes. Grumbling, I picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Sugilite, you need to get back here!" Amethyst cried into the phone. I sat up quickly. "Please, he's getting worse and a letter came in the mail saying that some lady wants to do a home visit!"
"Are you serious? When?" I asked. I hadn't prepared for a home visit.
"This weekend. I know it'd probably be a burden, but could you make it?" I grabbed around on my desk for my schedule.
"I have a morning class tomorrow, then I'm good all weekend. I'll be there."
"Thanks so much! You're the best!" I smiled.
"I have to be. For now, try to clean up some of the cans. And your room. Now get to bed, it's late. I love you."
"Okay. I love you too." She hung up and I dropped my phone, sighing.
"Really? A home visit?" I sighed. I had no idea what to do for a home visit.
But what could that be? As long as the house was clean, the bills were paid, and Ames had food, then wouldn't everything be okay? I just had to find a way to get my dad out of the house for a few hours and we'd be good. There's no way he could make things work.
"I can do it. For both of us." I cleaned up my notes and called Opal.
"Hey." She said after a minute.
"Hey. How's it going?" She sighed.
"Not too well. Turns out that of all the people from Crystal Prep, Rainbow's the only one who decided to go to my school."
"I'm so sorry babe." I sighed.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked.
"I have to jet home this weekend because we've got a home visit. It's getting harder to keep Ames safe from here." I explained.
"I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you want me to come down too?" I shook my head, even though I knew she couldn't see.
"I don't want to burden you."
"Don't worry, I'll come down anyway. I miss Pearl and my mom." On the other end of the line, a girl said something to Opal. "I have to go."
"Who's that?" I asked, curious.
"My roommate, Rhodonite. She needs help writing a letter to her grandmother." It sounded weird, but I let it go.
"I love you."
"I love you too." She hung up and I sighed.
"What am I going to do?"
