Valentines Day and all the Crime Scene Investegators of NY gathered on the 25th floor of the crime lab. Everyone but Mac and his girlfriend Peyton. His best friend Stella sat at the table with her co-workers, waiting for the man she has come to love walk throught the door.
Brendon, the firefighter, wrapped his arm around her as she kissed his cheek. He was a nice man, just not the one on her mind at the moment.
Since Peyton came, Mac had no time for his closest friend... Stella. They haven't talked for a while and she was going to change that.
"Stella!" Danny Messer snapped his fingers in front of her face and distracted her from her thoughts.
"What?" She asked.
"Sheldon was talking to you!" Dr. Sheldon Hawks was a young handsome man, sweet too.
"Sorry Shel." She apologized.
"It's ok." He stood next to her and held out his hand. "Would you like to dance?" He asked.
"Sure." Stella smiled and took his outstreached hand. He led her to the middle of the room, her long emerald green dress skimming the floor.
Stella laid her free hand on Sheldons shoulder and he placed his at her waist. They swayed to the music and suddenly, over Sheldons shoulder, Stella spotted Mac comeout of the elevator... His arm around Peytons waist.
He didnt notice Stella, the couple walked over to Lindsey Monroe and the rest of the team. Peyton wore a short red dress that clung to her every curve. Her long brown hair resting on her shoulders. She looked beautiful.
After the dance, Stella joined the team, sitting between Lindsey and Don Flack, across from Mac. He would look every where but at her. Finally, Stella joined Sheldon by the food where he enjoyed a glass of red whine.
"Hey" Stella took a cup and leaned against the table, watching the team.
"What are you doing over here, i thought you would be with Mac..." The name made her flinch and shiver when said man got up and was walking their way.
"Not today." She replyed as Mac finally lifts his gaze to catch her eye. She smiled but then he walked right past her, not even a smile from him.
Sheldon spotted her eyes tear up as he brings her into a hug. "Maybe it's just not ment to be."

Stella sat on her couch in her office, feet tucked under her, reading a magazine as everyone else partied right outside.
"Stel," A voice came from the doorway. She looked up to see a worried Mac.
"Hey Mac." She said. She tried to smile but with the tear trails down her cheeks he would never belive it.
"You ok?" He asked, walking in further, closing the door.
"Yea, just not in the mood to party."
"You dont look ok." He sat down next to her.
"Im fine Mac!" She yelled and stood up.
"Can i talk to you then?'' He asked, not leaving his spot on the couch.
"Yea."
"I... I propsed to Peyton, were getting married." He said, Stella's knees were about to give out as she stood there in shock. She quickly took a seat at her desk. "And... We are moving to London." Thats all it took, Stella burst into tears as Mac stood up with teary eyes also, and walked out of her office for the last time.
"Maybe it's just not ment to be." She whispered to herself as she cryed in her office and everyone congradulated the couple.
Hope you liked it =)
