Chapter 12: Kisses and Confrontations

I sat in my 3rd period class with a bored look on my face. I turned my head to see Bloom with the same expression.

I looked over at the clock ontop of Professor Wizgiz's desk.

11:55

Only five more minutes to lunch. I took a deep breath and leaned all the way in my chair and I pushed a long lock of my golden blonde hair behind of my ear.

I've been trying to avoid Brandon the whole day.

We haven't exactly been on good terms for the past few days. But it doesn't matter. It's not like we were on good terms before anyways.

Him kissing me in the elevator just made things worse.

Bloom's been looking depressed the past few weeks. All she does is stare at Sky and that girlfriend of his Diaspro.

Diaspro is a straight out hound and I have no idea what he sees in her. Sky and Bloom would make a cute couple to me.

Flora and Helia seemed to hit it off though. Everyday, Helia walks Flora to class. It's totally cute! The funny thing is that I saw Flora throwing endless amounts of salad at him only a few weeks before. Oh well, I guess love always finds a way!

As for Musa, she's been having major problems with this jock named Riven. I recognize him from the medical clinic and he's always hanging around Brandon and the others.

Even though he's been acting totally rude to her, I know that he's got a killer crush on her.

Sure cussing her out and stealing her homework isn't the best way to admit his feelings for her, but atleast he's making an attempt to do something… that always seems to end up in a whole other way…

I'll have to talk to him later on and tell him to confess to her in a way that won't make both of them look like idiots.

I started spacing out and thinking about what the doctor told me. My chain of thoughts were broken when the bell rang signaling lunch.

I walked out of the classroom with Bloom and to the cafeteria where the girls were.

In the corner of the cafeteria, I saw Musa and Riven in the middle of one of their quarrels and on the other side of the cafeteria, I saw Flora and Helia making their way to our table.

I decided to let Musa and Riven sort out their problem themselves.

I made my way to the table and sat in between Tecna and Layla. Helia had already dropped Flora off at our table and was currently walking towards their table.

As Flora sat down beside Bloom, I saw Musa run out of the cafeteria. I wonder what that air head did now.

I told the others that I'd be back before I set out to find Musa.

As I made my way out of the cafeteria, I felt a warm hand grab onto my wrist.

I turned around to see Brandon with a look of regret on his face.

My eyes seemed to soften at the sight of his expression before turning hard and cold. I yanked my hand out of his grasp and crossed my arms as I walked out of the cafeteria leaving Brandon standing alone in the center of the room.

I heard the cafeteria doors close and I continued on to find Musa.

If there was any place that I'd think Musa would be in, it would be in the music room.

Musa's life is practically made of music. She's totally passionate about it. She's probably one of the best singers I know and it's an honor to be able to be her friend.

In times like these, I like to think of Musa going through a soap opera. With our ups and downs. Sometimes, we may not always hit the perfect pitch or reach harmony.

We've got to work hard to make peace.

I walked through the hallways and into the music room. After a couple of weeks going here, I'm finally able to find my way around the school.

I only wish that I could say the same about my home.

I opened the door and found Musa seated by the piano. I walked over to her slowly and sat down next to her.

Musa seemed to notice my presence but hasn't said anything.

I looked over at Musa and saw that she had been crying. It breaks my heart to see someone with one of the brightest personalities look so hurt and torn.

I out my hand on Musa's shoulder before she leaned against me and broke out into a full out sob.

I put my arm on her back and the other on her head as I comforted her with words of reassurance.

Finally, Musa stopped crying and sat up properly. "I just don't understand, why can't he just tell me how he feels?"

I looked over to Musa before saying my thoughts of the matter. "Maybe he's just having a hard time expressing his feelings and shows how he feels in his actions"

Musa rubbed her eyes before speaking again. "I know, but he doesn't have to be so rude"

I simply nodded before of thinking of something else to say. Apparently, Musa beat me to it.

"You're so lucky you know"

"huh" I asked with a questioning voice.

"You've got a mother who you can talk to about how you feel. Someone who you can relate to and have them comfort you when you're down."

"And you don't?" I asked with a soft voice.

Musa shook her head silently. "My mother died when I was just an infant and my father abuses me physically and verbally."

I was shocked at what I had just found out. "Your father… abuses you?"

Musa nodded her head. "Everyday he comes home either angry or agitated. He lets all of his anger out on me. I don't know what happened though. When my mom was here, we used to be so happy. But all that's changed ever since she passed."

I was afraid to ask her but I had to do it anyway. "Musa, what does he do to you?"

She took a deep breath before replying. I knew that this would be hard for her, but she had to tell somebody, or she may not be safe. "He usually beats me and makes me drink until I pass out. He used to break our instuments and hit me with them, but he doesn't anymore."

She paused before speaking. "… To me, music calms me. It gives me closure you know. It helps me get through my days of torment."

I wanted to say something to make her feel better. To let her know that she wasn't alone. I may not be beaten by my parents but I've got my own problems with them.

"Well, you aren't alone either."

Musa looked at me with a confused face but urged me to continue. "Though I may have a mother, and a family, I'm not exactly happy. My mother rarely asks me how my day is, she forgets to feed me, and she never greets me when I get home. She makes me feel like her work is more important than her family. Which may be true, since her job is sort of the reason why we came back to Gardenia.

As for my father, he just ignores me and my mother. He either comes home very late or leaves very early going to who knows where. I haven't had a proper conversation with my father since the 7th grade. Now, we're just people who live with each other and seem to be related."

I looked back at Musa before continuing. "My parents stopped being there for me back then, and they still aren't even now. It's me who is responsible for myself, and I who makes my own decisions. I won't be able to depend on them. I don't have the same bond I had with them before."

Musa looked at me with a look of regret on her face. "Oh, Stella, I'm so sorry"

"It's Okay" I smiled "Atleast I've got great friends who do care!"

We both got up from the piano. I cleared my voice a little before speaking once again. "But um, do you plan on telling anybody?"

Musa simply shook her head. "No, not yet"

I just nodded and we were out the door and to our next class.

As we walked through the hallway, I couldn't help but feel bad for Musa. After all she's been through, she doesn't deserve to be tormented by that moron, let alone be beaten by her father. But I shouldn't tell anyone just yet. I wouldn't want to lose Musa's trust just yet… And hopefully, I won't have to…

No Pov

Bloom walked silently to her 5th period class by herself.

Stella had gone off to find Musa and hadn't shown up after lunch and for 4th period. Bloom was lucky enough to convince Ms. Grizelda that Stella had gotten lost in the school once again even though Bloom knew that Stella would be able to find her way around the school just fine.

She took steady steps with her head down before feeling somebody grabbing her arm and pulling her to the side of the hall in between the lockers.

Bloom didn't need to know who the imposter that dragged her in between the isle was. She already knew.

Bloom kept her gaze at the ground as she spoke silently. "What do you want Sky?"

Sky seemed to flinch at the silent words she spoke that had harsh meaning to them, to him atleast. "I just wanted to know how you were doing." Sky said as he stared at Bloom

Bloom turned looked the other way. "I'm fine, now go back to that so called girlfriend of yours and leave me alone."

She started walking away before she felt Sky rest a hand on her shoulder and rest his head on her back, stopping her from further motion. "I know you're lying Bloom. Why can't you talk to me the way that you used to when there was us."

Bloom turned around full force, shocking Sky as she backed him up against the wall with a hard look in her usually bright blue eyes. "Listen here. There was no us, there was never an us, there will never be an us! When will you get that?"

Sky stood up and put his hands on Blooms shoulders. "You can't say that Bloom. Because there was an us. And I know that you feel it. What we had was real Bloom! And it still is!"

Bloom had hot tears pouring out of her eyes as she tried to pull away. "No Sky, stop!"

Sky kept a safe grip on Bloom that wouldn't hurt her, but that was tight enough to not let her go.

Sky looked at Bloom, tears threating to come out at the sight of his lovers broken state. He straightened his back a little more and shouted one word.

"No!" Sky said before crashing his lips onto Bloom.

Bloom had never felt anything as good as Sky's kisses. There was nobody who could ever give her the sensation that Sky's lips gave to her.

Though she loved the feeling of his lips on hers, there was a pit in her stomach telling her that something was wrong. Looking back at his past affairs, and the relationship he has with Diaspro now, she couldn't do it.

He had to make a choice. It was either Bloom or Diaspro. And it was obvious who he chose.

But Bloom couldn't hide her relationship with Sky. She couldn't do it. She had to break free.

It wasn't right.

Bloom pushed Sky away before wiping her tears and running to class.

She loved him, she still did, and he loved her.

What they had was real.

But was it worth it?

She didn't know…

Musa stood in the middle of the hallway re thinking everything that had happened so far in her day.

Her argument with Riven, wasn't exactly an argument. It was more lie… a confession.

Yes, Musa confessed her feeling to that moronic airhead, but what did he do?

Reject her and embarrass her infront of everybody. That… is exactly what he did.

She shook her previous encounter out of her head and made her way to P.E with Cordatota.

She changed into her gym clothes before sitting out on the benches by the gym.

She didn't feel like participating in today's activities. And apparently, someone didn't want to either.

Riven sat beside Musa with a look of regret on his face.

Unlike Musa, Riven wasn't dressed in his gym clothes, but what he was dressed in earlier this morning.

Riven cleared his voice before speaking. "Listen Musa, I'm sorry… for everything"

Musa looked up at Riven. "Me too"

Riven put a hand on Musa's shoulder before saying the most sincere words he had ever said to anyone. "I really am, and I just wish that you could see that.

Musa got up from the bench and started walking away before she paused to saw a few words. With her back still turned to Riven and her fists clenched into balls, she took a deep breath.

"I wish I could too"

Flora smiled as she made her way through the school with Helia by her side.

She couldn't think of anything better than being with Helia.

But there was one thing that was driving her out of her mind. And that was the fact that Helia hadn't asked her to be his girlfriend yet.

Flora tried to think of a clever way to bring up the topic up in casual conversations.

Bringing her hands together and swaying side by side as they walked through the halls and out to the quad, she began the first phase of her minute made ingenious plan.

"So Helia", she began with an innocent smile "Have you ever thought of getting a girlfriend yet?"

Helia's answer was direct and emotionless "No"

"Oh" Flora giggled as she put a hand to her mouth.

By now, they had made their way to the garden.

As they walked through the stone path decorated with tropical looking flowers on the side, Flora couldn't help imagining what her wedding would look like.

Though it is still far from that day, she couldn't help but picture it.

Helia would sweep her up bridal smile and put a beautiful white flower in her fancily braided hair before they walked through the stone path and upto the altar in between the small gates decorated with the greenest and most healthy vines.

This though was just so maddening to Flora. She couldn't think of anything she wanted more.

For now, she had to get Helia to ask her out.

Helia paused before putting a white flower in her hair.

Flora giggled madly as the whole thing happened. It's just like she imagined.

Let's just hope that everything would go as planned…

Brandon's pov

I looked at the picture of a little girl and boy in the park.

The photo just brought back too many memories.

I saw Stella making her way through the halls. I wanted to apologize to her for everything that happened.

I put the picture in the back of my pocket before following her. We were already dismissed form class and people seemed to be making their way out of the school quickly.

I had already followed Stella out onto the quad. It seemed that she was making her way to the park.

I hadn't been there in so many years.

Stella made her way towards the ice cream truck before stopping and dropping her books.

But the thing was that she didn't pick them up.

She was staring at somebody.

As I made my way towards her, I could see tears coming out of her eyes. When I finally made my way towards her, I could see why.

She said one word with a questioning voice before breaking into tears.

Stella's pov

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"Daddy?"

I saw my father with a pasty blonde haired woman and a raven haired girl who looked about my age.

My father pecked the woman on her lips and smiled at her and the girl the way he used to smile at me and my mother.

Is this what he's been doing all those days, months, maybe even years.

Having affairs with women. This woman to be exact.

I went up to my father and the woman and pushed her away from him, tears already in my eyes.

"Stella!" I heard my father yell.

"Stay away from my father, stay away from my family!" I yelled at the woman and the girl next to her.

My father pulled me away and slapped me across my face.

"Don't you dare tell your mother" My father told me with a stern voice.

I looked at the little "family" with hatred before running off.

I heard someone calling my name, but I couldn't face anybody.

No… not now.


Wow! Did you enjoy what I did there? Sara, you got your funny Flora and Helia, Stella, you got a little bit of Sky and Bloom with Brandon's pov, and I added some Musa and Riven and the little affair!
