Chapter 13: Troubles:
"Don't do that." I said laughing.
"Sorry." Stella said laughing along with everyone else. Then all of a sudden there was a big crack of thunder.
"Oh here we go again." I said.
"It's been storming since last night." Ashley said looking outside the window.
"I know." I said. "Haven't we had enough?"
"Hey guys!" My dad said coming inside.
"Hey dad." I said.
"Hi daddy." Stella said.
"You guys have fun last night?" My dad asked. Maybe we shouldn't tell him.
"Uh...we had fun." I said. "We were just hanging out."
I lied. The truth is that Stella was kidnapped and we had to pay a guy 10,000 dollars to get her back. Then my dad went in the kitchen.
"What the hell!" My dad yelled.
"Uh oh." I said as we ran in there.
"What is this?" My dad asked pointing to the door that the guy had made a whole in, trying to get in.
"Oh...that." I said. "Uh..."
"What!" My dad yelled.
"Ok. Do you want the truth?" Stella asked.
"Yes. The truth!" My dad exclaimed.
"Stella." I said.
"No it's alright. We won't get in trouble." Stella said.
"Oh from the looks of this door, there's gonna be some trouble." My dad said.
"The truth is...I kicked the door...because...me and Nessa got in a fight and I just was mad." Stella lied.
"What was the fight about?" My dad asked.
"Uh...Nessa stole my spot on the couch." Stella lied again. Ok that was a stupid reason.
"Vanessa stole your spot on the couch." My dad asked confused.
"Yeah." Stella said. "So I'm sorry for kicking the door."
"Ok...well Stella you're grounded and Nessa, don't steal Stella's spot on the couch." My dad said with a weird face and walked out.
"Well problem solved. Except for the fact that I'm grounded. Oh man!" Stella said.
"I can't let you just take the wrap like that. Dad!" I yelled.
"What?" My dad asked.
"Look the real reason there's a whole in the door is...because last night some guy broke into our house through that door, kidnapped Stella, and then we had to pay him 10,000 dollars in order to get her back. So Stella doesn't deserve to be grounded. She didn't do anything." I confessed.
"Oh that's very convincing Vanessa." My dad laughed.
"Yeah." I said.
"Too bad I don't believe it." My dad said.
"Dad!" I yelled.
"It's true Mr. Hudgens. Everything Vanessa said is true." Zac said trying to help.
"Yeah." Stella and Jenny said.
"It's true." Jayden and Falisha said.
"Totally true." Ashley and Monique added.
"Yep." Chris, Corbin, and Lucas said.
"What?" My dad asked.
"I was kidnapped." Stella said.
"I need a minute to think this over." My dad said then walked into his room. "Ok I'm done thinking. Stella was kidnapped!"
"Sort of." I said.
"Sort of? What do you mean sort of?" He said. "She was either kidnapped or she wasn't."
"Well yes, some guy kidnapped her. But..." I said.
"I cannot believe this." He said. "Are you alright?"
"Yes daddy, I'm fine." Stella said.
"How did this happen?" He asked.
"Well we were in the kitchen and the next thing we knew Stella was gone." I explained.
"Well you should of been watching her." He said.
"Dad we got her back didn't we?" I exclaimed.
"Well you shouldn't of left her out of your sight." My dad exclaimed.
"I'm sorry. But..." I said.
"Well I expect you keep an eye on her while I'm gone in Washington." He said.
"Washington? Dad for how long?" I asked.
"A week." He said.
"A week, dad who's gonna watch Stella?" I asked.
"Well she'll have to stay at Jenny's." He said.
"Yey!" Stella and Jenny said.
"Whatever." I said then we were about to go downstairs.
"Oh wait a minute Vanessa. I'm leaving now. So...Good luck on the movie and I will see you when you get back." My dad said giving me and Stella a kiss.
"Bye daddy." Stella said.
"Bye guys." He said then left.
"Now what?" Ashley asked.
"The mall?" Stella suggested.
"No mall!" Me, Zac, Ashley, Corbin, Monique, Lucas, and Chris exclaimed.
"Right." Stella said.
"You know we better not have another tornado like we did in Salt Lake City." Ashley said.
"I know." Monique said.
"You guys had a torndao?" Jayden asked.
"Yeah. It went through the resteraunt right next to our hotel. Luckily it didn't go through the hotel." I explained.
"Wow." Jayden and Falisha said.
"Yeah." Corbin said.
"Well it looks like it's gonna be a serious storm." Lucas said looking out the window.
"Why?" Ashley asked.
"I hate storms." Stella said.
"Whoa." Zac said looking at dark clouds rolling over us and even some little trees tipping over.
"I hate storms too." Ashley said.
"So do I." I said.
"Hey Nessa do you remember that storm that you and Stella were in a few years ago?" Jayden asked.
"Yes. And they all know about it." I said.
"We do?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah." I said. "I told you guys."
"Technically you didn't tell me, Stella did." Ashley said.
"Yeah." Stella said.
"Right." I said. Then the phone rang.
"Hello." Stella answered.
"Hello, Stella?" Jenny's mom asked.
"Yeah." Stella said.
"Hi Stella. This is Jenny's mom." Jenny's mom said.
"Hi." Stella said.
"Um is it ok if Jenny stays over another night. Me and her father have some meeting late tonight." Jenny's mom explained.
"I think that'd be ok. Let me just ask my sister." Stella said.
"Ok." Jenny's mom said.
"Nessa?" Stella asked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Is it ok if Jenny stays over again tonight?" Stella asked.
"Um..yeah sure." I said.
"K." Stella said.
"My sister said she can." Stella explained.
"Oh good. So how's your sister's movie going?" Jenny's mom asked.
"It's good. She's just back til Monday then she has to leave back to Salt Lake City." Stella explained.
"Well it's good you get to spend time with her." Jenny's mom said.
"Yeah." Stella said.
"Well bye." Jenny's mom said.
"Bye." Stella said then hung up.
"Was that my mom?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah. She needs you to stay over here tonight again because your mom and dad are meeting people." Stella said even though they have 'meetings'.
"Ok...then..." Jenny said. "Oh well. I get to stay over again!"
"Yey!" Stella said. Then all of a sudden the lights went out. Perfect timing.
"I'll go get flashlights." I said. "And Zac why don't you go get some matches and candles in the garage."
"Ok." Zac said then we did all that and we had a little light.
"Oh I hate sirens!" Stella said as they came on again. "They are so annoying!"
"I know." Jenny said covering her ears.
"It's not that loud. It's only loud if you're outside." Lucas said.
"Well it's loud to me." Stella said.
"And me." Jenny said.
"Ok..." Lucas said.
"Let's turn on the radio and she what's happening with the storm." Monique suggested. Then tried to turn it on. "Ahhh. It's not working!"
"Monique. There's no power." Ashley said.
"Oh yeah I forgot." Monique said.
"Well this stinks." Zac said jumping on the couch next to me. Then the phone rang.
"Hello." Stella answered.
"Yes Hello. This is Officer Bender calling from the Salt Lake City Police Department. We would just like to assure you that the kidnapper is now behind bars." Bender explained.
"Oh good. This is the girl who he kidnapped." Stella explained.
"Oh well we're glad you're ok." Bender said.
"Me too." Stella said. "Well I'll tell my sister what you told me."
"Ok. Thank you." Bender said.
"Yes. And thank you." Stella said.
"No problem." Bender said. "Bye."
"Bye." Stella said then hung up.
"Well that was an officer and he said that the kidnapper is in jail now." Stella said.
"Oh good." I said.
"That's good." They all said.
