Steven and Lars are gone. Their family and friends struggle to fill the hole they left behind. (A collection of 100-word drabbles about loss.) 20. Lion waits for his cub

7. Garnet

Garnet

Garnet is not going to fall apart. She refuses. She told Steven she wouldn't split up, so she won't.

The others need her to be strong.

And what do we need?

We need to be strong too.

How? Sapphire, we already lost Rose— now we've lost him too—

I know. I'm sorry. I should have stopped this.

You couldn't have Seen—

I could have. I didn't.

We didn't.

I'm tired, Ruby.

Me too.

I miss him so much. So much. It hurts.

I know, I know.

What do we do now?

Don't know.

Garnet is not going to fall apart.
