Stella looked at the photo. Then, she looked at her boyfriend. She was afraid to ask him about it.

-Do you want to go somewhere? For a walk? – Brandon asked. Stella just gulped and nodded.

Brandon took of his wardrobe his jacket and held Stella's hand.

-You have stronger grip… - Stella whispered. Brandon looked at her and blinked slowly.

-What? What do you mean? – he asked. Stella shrugged. – Stella, what happened? Tell me.

-Nothing, Brandon. I just asked. – she climbed up on toes and kissed his cheek. Brandon smirked and wrapped his arm around her waist. They began to walk around forest which separates Red Fountain and Alfea. Stella watched sky. When she was doing it, Brandon spurted white rose and gave it to Stella.

-Thanks, honey. – she said and stopped walk. Brandon looked at her gold eyes and leaned to her. Stella closed her eyes. She touched his lips by hers. She let his tongue to move around her mouth. She completely forgot about what she saw in Brandon's room. When they broke up the kiss, Brandon hugged his girlfriend. Stella laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

-Hey, babe. I've got idea. Let's go to the Daizy's Cafe. They have brilliant cappuccino. – he asked Stella and she nodded. When they reached Café, Brandon opened the doors for Stella. Stella smiled to him. They ordered two cappuccinos. They began to talk about school. Brandon paid to waitress. Stella started to drink her chocolate cappuccino. Then, she noted that Brandon looked at her with big smile.

-What happened? Have I something on my face?

-Yes, some chocolate. – Brandon explained and Stella looked at herself on window glass. She didn't see anything.

-Where?

-Here – he said and kissed her lips. Stella kissed him back and smiled.

When they drank cappuccino and left the cafe, they began to walk down the street. Brandon suddenly frowned and grimaced. He touched his forehead. Stella looked at him, scared.

-Honey, is everything allright? – she asked softly. Brandon shook his head, in pain.

-What's wrong? Do you have a fever? – she asked and gently put her hand on his forehead. Brandon barely smiled to her.

-Nothing, Stell. I just… I feel badly… - he whispered.

-Let's go to the Red Fountain, to your room. – she said and held his warm hand. Brandon nodded. They began to walk toward the Red Fountain. When they reached Brandon's room, he opened the door. Stella came in. Brandon sat on his couch. Stella sat next to him and faced him.

-Tell me, honey. Is everything allright? – asked Stella. Brandon just looked at her, without words.

-Brandon, do you… hiding something from me? – she asked carefully and softly. Suddenly Brandon face turned into red. He frowned. Stella quickly moved away from him. She didn't know why she did this. Then, Brandon grabbed her arm and looked into her eyes. Stella saw that in his eyes is something bad and cruel.

-B- Brandon… what are you going to do? – she asked with fear. She started to struggle, but it doesn't works. Brandon grabbed her other arm. He looked at her.

-Don't be so nosy Stella… It always ends badly! – he hissed. Stella was really scared.

-Brandon… what are you talking about? I didn't do anything wrong… Please, what's happened? – she whispered with tears in her eyes. Brandon started to laughed. He pushed her into his bed. He started to kiss her wildly. Stella started to struggle.

-Brandon, what are you doing? Stop! – she cried. She felt pain in her body. Suddenly, slapped went across her face. She looked at Brandon, surprised. That was the first time, when Brandon beat her.

-In this way ends every disobedience. – Brandon said with cruel in his voice. Stella started to cry.

-Brandon? Why are you hurt me? – she whispered. Brandon's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Stella again. He noted red trace on her cheek.

-Stella? – he asked softly. Stella quickly went out of his bed and escaped from his room.

She didn't know why her Brandon did this.

She was embarrassed, and her heart was broken.
