Well here you go Chapter 2 Enjoy!! (Chapter 3 is on the way soon hopefully, more action promise)

Thank you to all that reviewed, and again sorry about what happened totally my fault (Maya (MrAprilfoolsWatanuki) had nothing to do with that!!!).


Stella sank down to the wooden floor in her hallway, resting her back to her door. It felt cold against her back. Mac's steps had died out in the hallway long ago, but she still sat there, listening to every sound out there. Maybe, just maybe it was his steps that came closer to her apartment?
No, she knew he wasn't going to come back, but if he was, just if, – she wanted to be prepared.

After a while, when Stella was as sure as she could be that he wasn't coming back, she rose slowly from the floor and went back to the living room.

The tv show she was watching previously didn't felt that appealing to continue to watch after the argument with Mac, so she turned it off.

She couldn't seem to focus on the screen in front of her, all she could see was Mac's disappointed face in the back of her head, the moment before he left her apartment.

It felt like her world began to crumble, as the only one who held it together had turned his back to her.

Mac sighed as he entered his apartment, maybe he had gone to far with Stella?

He didn't mean to hurt her, but he really needed to know. He needed to hear it from her.
Stella had no idea how much he wanted her to say no, to prove Diakos' neighbor wrong.

Cracking his neck and turning the lights on he placed his keys on the counter, beside a blue vase that was nicely placed on top of it.

Stella nearly broke his heart with her previous actions, in the back of his mind he knew that she wanted to do good but after all those years of their friendship, he just couldn't understand that.
He could probably expect it, and maybe even accept it from Danny, Flack or Lindsay, but Stella? Stella? The only person who he took advice from, or gave an advice to, the person who were there when his stalker threatened him, she was the only person in this world he could trust. He just couldn't wrap his head around it. It made him mad, the blood in his body started to boil not controlling his actions he picked up the blue vase and threw it against the wall.

"Get a hold of your self! Its not the end of the world!" he tried calming himself.

"Deep breaths..." Mac followed his mind and took slow, deep breaths.

After couple of minutes his mind drifted back to Stella. It was a hard case and her witness didn't show up.

"I heard your witness didn't show...You showered?"

"I had to cool off, its not that I'm mad at her..."

Mac a smile tugged at the corners of his lips when he thought about it, she always made him smile. He sighed

"This is going to be harder then I thought!" with that he turned went to the bathroom to take a shower. All he wanted to do was take a nice cold shower and just go to sleep. When he turned the shower on he felt the sudden cold water on his head which was flowing onto his body, it made his overheated skin scream. After a minute his mind started to think, it felt like he restarted his computer.
But the only thing he could think of was Stella, and tomorrow.

His mind started to remind him that we needed to get out here so his body doesn't freeze in the cold water. He slowly turned off the water and got out, dried him self and went to bed.

He climbed on his twin size bed pulled the covers and just lay there. The gentle summer breeze tickled his skin, it was perfectly nice night, it wasn't too cold or too hot, just warm enough to have a decent sleep.
Unfortunately not for him and not tonight. All his thoughts were placed on Stella, he thought of her, his thoughts were drifting to tomorrow and her. He had to give her consequences for her actions. He turned on his side sighed: "Stella, Stella, what have you done...?!"


Well the white button with green letters is calling you!!! lol They will make us happy!!!
