Chapter 1: Stella

After Winnie's death the house was sold and kept in a different family. This family still owns that house today. A young blond hair blue eyed 16 year old girl lives in Winnie's old house with her mother and father. Stella.

Jesse Tuck pulled up to Winnie's old house half expecting to find Winnie still alive. He got off his motorcycle and walked around to his surprise, to find Winnie's grave. Stella was sitting up in the tree above this scene listening to her ipod and watching. Jesse then knelt down by the grave while saying a last goodbye.

"I should have come back sooner." he said to himself.

Stella, confused by this decided to find out what was happening. So she climbed down the tree and stood behind Jesse without him noticing.

"Are you new here?" asked Stella.

Jesse turned around to find a beautiful girl. See, Jesse never really looked at other girls the way he had looked at Winnie. But, with this girl he didn't even know there was an automatic connection, at least for him.

"How long have you been standing there?" he asked.

" I had just climbed down from that tree." she says while pointing to the tree on her left.

"Oh, well do you know who lives at this house now?" Jesse asks her.

"Me, my mom and dad." Stella replies.

"Was this lady your great grandmother?" He asks looking back at the grave.

"No, that grave has been there since I can remember." she states.

"What's your name?" Jesse asks

"Stella, Stella Malone. What's yours?"

"Jesse, Jesse Tuck."

"Well Jesse Tuck, will I ever get to see you again?"

"If you're lucky."
