Steven paced. Four days. Four days had passed since he had last seen Jackie, and he was pacing.
It was all good and well. Her staying away from made it easier to abide by the rules and stay away from her. He had to keep her safe.
Whoever, whatever that was on the phone, he had to listen to them. It was too much of a coincidence that Jackie had fainted, and the mysterious caller was on the other line.
So, he stayed away from her as best he could, even though it was driving him crazy.
The phone rang. He had begun to dread hearing that phone ring. It brought him thoughts of Jackie, thoughts of her being hurt, thoughts of her suffering, this time indirectly because of him. Him and some stupid caller.
On the other hand, he heard the phone ring, and he felt his apprehension mingle with hope that maybe this caller will tell him it's okay, it was all a joke, he could see her again now.
That was what he wanted, what he needed.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Steven, it's alright, you can go back to her now." The voice was steady, monotone.
"What? You're saying- it's- I can go back to her?" he managed.
"Mhmm." The voice giggled a bit at the end.
The giggle made him stop. "Wait, why did you laugh? Were you joking?"
The giggle came again.
"You were joking."
"Oh, no, I wasn't joking. You have to go back to her," said the voice. "Or there will be consequences for you."
"So, that's it, then? It's me or her?"
"Smart boy." The voice disgusted him.
"You should already know the answer to that, then," he snapped, hanging up the phone. Well, that was that. He could never let Jackie suffer, never watch her struggle again.
So that meant that he wouldn't get to see Jackie again. No matter how much he needed it.
