Sorry, but I figured the whole date per chapter thing was getting long, so I wanted to continue the story. I may write the dates later on but right now it's getting too long for me to write.- Spontaneous Fairy
Four cars approached the long, paved driveway. Oddly they all arrived at the same time. All except for Stella and Brandon and Bloom and Sky. Musa got out of the car with a look of pride mixed with hatred , but grinned happily. Flora looked glad and content. Tecna radiated a priceless type of brilliance. Layla grinned as she stepped smoothly out of the car. The four stood there saying goodbye for a few seconds until they noticed that Stella and Bloom were not there.
"They're probably just late." Musa said, as they walked down the main hallway
"Yeah, hey, what do you think of my dress?" Tecna asked and slowly opened the box. She loosely put two fingers through the hanger straps and dropped the box. The girls stared in awe as the dress unfolded and its true form revealed.
"It's so beautiful Tecna." Flora complimented.
"The color suits you." Layla mused.
"Yes, and the hem is flawless." Musa pointed out.
"Thanks." Tecna said. Then they heard a soft sound of music linger through the hallways.
"What's that?" Musa asked, slowly stepping forward.
"It's coming from Stella's room." Flora said.
"Stell?" Layla asked once they got to the door. The music clicked off and you could hear footsteps.
"What?" Stella sniffed as she opened the door a crack.
"Sweetie, are you okay?" Flora asked, concerned.
"I'm fine." Stella replied in a sharp tone. She started to close the door but Layla grabbed it before the big, oak door could close.
"Wait. Have you seen Bloom?" Layla asked.
"No, nor have I heard her come in the house. But, you never know, if she did I probably couldn't hear her because of the music." Stella said.
"Thanks Stell." Musa said and walked down the hall to Bloom's room, Layla followed.
" Stella, really, are you okay? You can talk to me about anything , you know that right." Flora said, putting a hand on Stella's shoulder.
"No, no I'm not okay." Stella said, trembling and she collapsed into Flora's arms, sobbing. Once she finally stopped crying enough Stella said, "My past is a dark and lovely one. But now is not the time to tell. We should find Bloom."
"Right." Flora answered, nodding her head.
"Musa, did you see which way Bloom and Sky were headed?" Layla asked.
"No."
"Umm, I have Brandon's phone number. I could call him to see if Sky's home, or if anyone saw where they were headed." Stella said.
"Call him." Tecna said, she was leaning against the wall.
"I'm going, I'm going." Stella said, dialing the number.
Phone conversation
"Brandon?"
"It's Stella."
"Good. How are you?"
"Stella! Focus!" Musa snapped.
"Oh, sorry, but is Sky home yet?"
"He is?"
"Could I talk to him?"
"Thanks."
"Sky?"
"This is Stella, Bloom's friend."
"Yeah."
"When your date ended, did you see where Bloom was headed?"
"Town Hall."
"Okay, thanks, bye."
"Sky said Bloom was headed towards Town Hall. Let's go." Stella said.
They all got in their cars, but separated to go their own ways. Stella went to Town Hall while Layla and Musa went to the near by club and Flora and Tecna looked in the library. Stella arrived at the Town Hall, by now it was raining. She stepped out of her car, black stilettos clicking against the pavement.
"Bloom?" Stella yelled. She slowly walked up a few steps and saw a girl, soaking wet staring at the ground.
"Bloom!" Stella said, and ran to her.
"I …I was cowardly." Bloom said and looked up.
"What do you mean?" Stella asked and sat down by her.
"I didn't say what I thought..to Sky. I got afraid, books make it seem so easy." Bloom chuckled lightly.
"Oh, sweetie, it happens to everyone." Stella said and hugged Bloom.
"Even you?" Bloom asked,
"Yes, even me." Stella responded.
"Really? Tell me." Bloom sniffed.
"I…I can't." Stella said, voice choked.
"Why?" Bloom said.
"Not right now, later. Let's get you home." Stella said. They walked to the car and drove back home.
Once home Stella called the girls to tell them she'd found Bloom and was already home. She also said to meet her in her room; she had something to tell them.
