Stella's P.O.V.
"Oi, get up"
"It's too early...5 more minutes" I groaned, rolling around in my bed as I pulled the covers over my head.
"It's not that early, it's 11 already. Plus room service just arrived with the food"
"FOOD!" I squealed, jumping up. "Brandon? Oh yeah, I forgot you were here"
"Yeah, I've been banging on Riven's door but he won't answer" he said.
"We can go over there later. First, breakfast" I grinned, getting out of bed and going to the living room where all the food was, while Brandon trailed behind. As I turned on the TV, my phone started ringing.
"Hey honey, this is Isabel speaking. Liam told me that you went to San Francisco?"
"Yeah, I came with Musa. Is that okay?"
"Oh yeah yeah, fine. Just be careful, and have fun. I was just calling to ask if you knew where Brandon was? I called him but it went to voicemail and he didn't come home last night"
"Yeah he's actually here, as in like the same room as me"
"Estimado dios, you two are in a hotel room together? And you didn't kill each other?"
"Yup, hard to believe I know. I'm actually with Musa but she joined Riven so I let Brandon sleep here."
"Aw, you're such a sweetheart. Brandon could learn from you. May I speak to him?"
"Of course" I said, chucking my phone at Brandon.
"Hello? No- I know, but- okay sorry sorry next time I'll tell you..okay yeah, adios mamá" he said, ending the call.
"You didn't tell your mom where you went? And you turned your phone off so she couldn't reach you?" I asked, grabbing a granola bar.
"I forgot okay, and I didn't turn my phone off, it ran out of charge and I didn't have a chance to charge it since all my stuff is in the other room" he said.
"You know, they're taking awfully long in there. Let's go pound and yell until they come out" I said, hopping up.
We both went outside the door, and started banging on it.
"MUSA HARMONY MELODY AND RIVEN ZACHARY CARTER OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR BEFORE I BREAK IT DOWN MYSELF" I screamed.
"WHAT SHE SAID!" he yelled.
"Hey at least be original" I said.
"Whatevs" he shrugged.
"Okay can they not hear us or something?" I asked.
"I dunno, I was here for 15 minutes before you woke up." he said.
"That tares it" I sighed, as I took a step back, cracking my knuckles.
Just kidding. You probably thought I would try break the door down. Well I'm not paying to repair that shit.
Instead, I grabbed a bobby pin from the little table in out room next to the entrance, and began to pick the lock.
Brandon scoffed. "That's never gonna wor-"
Click
"What were you saying?" I smirked, opening the door.
"Nothing" he said. "Now where are they?"
"I'll check Riven's room, you go to yours and charge your phone before your mom comes here and kills you" I said.
I walked the only other room there was, which I assumed was Riven's. I knocked on the door, and heard no reply. Cautiously, I went in, covering my eyes with my hand.
"Are you guys decent?" I asked.
No reply.
I opened my eyes, and saw a neatly made bed, but isolated room.
"STELLA!"
"What what is it?" I asked, as Brandon ran to me.
"Why is all Musa's stuff in my room?" he asked.
"What do you mean? That's impossible, her stuff is in- Musa?" I paused, as I saw the raven haired girl herself, walking out of our room and into what seemed to be Brandon's, with all her stuff.
"Oh hey Stel" she said.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Just movin my stuff in here." she said casually.
"What about me?" I asked, taken aback.
"Ahem. What about me?" Brandon said.
"It's all Riven's Idea" she said, pointing to the balcony, where Riven was just chilling in the pool. I stormed over there, and glared at him with my arms crossed, as the others followed behind me.
"Hello Stella" he said casually, sipping on a cocktail looking drink.
"Why is Musa moving in here?" I asked.
"Oh, I didn't make you mad did I?" he asked. "I mean I know you hate Brandon and all so I get why you wouldn't want to share your room with him"
"Wait, so you basically swapped Musa and Brandon? What happened to the whole 'girls trip' stuff?" I asked. "Plus, this has nothing to do with Brandon, it's the fact that you stole my best friend"
"So you don't mind Brandon sharing with you?" Musa asked.
"No, but-"
"Why?" Riven asked suspiciously, as him and Musa both looked at us.
"Yeah, why? I mean, you would've made him sleep outside last night, but no.." Musa said.
"Hey, I have a heart okay?" I said.
"Hmm.." Riven wondered.
"Dude, I agree with Stella. Why the hell are you kicking me out, when you forced me to come in the first place?" Brandon asked.
"You and Stella agree on something?" They both said in disbelief and shock.
"Why are you guys so surprised? So what we're friends, this isn't what it's abou-" I started, before getting interrupted once again.
"Woah woah you guys are friends?" Riven asked. We both nodded, wondering what the heck was going on here.
"Okay well you'll be fine sharing won't you?" Riven said.
"But-"
"Please Stella. Pleeeeaaaasseeee, I promise once we get home I'll come over every single say and hang with you. And I'll come have dinner with you today? It'll be fun. Trust me, the four of us-" she said.
"Two of you" I corrected.
"Yeah okay. But still, do it for me? We haven't argued a single time, which is rare, so can we please please PLEAS-"
"OKAY OKAY. Only because you guys haven't argued and deserve it" I sighed.
"Yay!" she said excitedly, hugging me.
"You two have fun" Riven smiled.
"Oh trust me, we will. Just me, Brandon and Stella Junior" I said, before walking back out.
"Get your shit apparently we're roommates" I said.
"Musa did it for me" he said, finding his suitcase in Musa's- I mean, Brandon's room.
"So. Whatcha wanna do?" I asked.
"I have an idea" he said, as a mischievous smile made it's way on his face. "Prank those two lovebirds?"
"Now that is the Brandon I like" I smirked.
If you didn't know already, I used to be extremely notorious at my old school for pranks. Infact not just the school, but the whole neighbourhood. I reigned as queen of pranks - and pizza.
"Balloons?" we both said simultaneously.
"That's the last one" I said, tying up the final balloon as I threw on top of the pile. So basically, Musa and Riven went out to have lunch and Brandon and I have been blowing up hundreds of balloons to fill up Riven's room.
"They're back" he whispered, as we heard the door unlock.
"Shit...um, closet!" I said, as we both rushed into the cramped closet, leaving a small space for us to see.
"I know right. I'll just grab something from my room and- what the actual fuck" Musa said, as she entered her room. We put cups full of water all over the floor and mousetraps on the bed.
"What is it? Woah. Okay let's go to my room instead.." Riven said.
"Sh!" I hushed.
"I didn't even say anything?" Brandon whispered.
All of a sudden we heard a string of profanities and the two getting really frustrated.
"Who the fuck did this?" Musa asked.
"I don't know but when I find out they're getting a fist to the face" Riven yelled.
Yup, Musa and Riven are probably the most angriest and aggressive individuals you'll ever meet...which is why they're perfect for each other.
I tried to hold in my laughter, and I could literally feel my mascara run because I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face.
"You know what, let's just go to the balcony" Riven said.
A minute later, we could hear could hear the screaming again.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF MOTHER TERESA IS THIS!?" Musa yelled, as Brandon and I fist bumped.
What exactly did we do to piss Musa off this much?
Well, we just filled the pool with loads of flat floats, and put loads and loads of caramel apples on them.
"Might as well" Riven said, as we heard him bit into one, then spit it out and start yelling.
Did I say caramel apples? Sorry, I meant caramel covered onions, which look pretty much identical.
"Okay that does it, who the hell did this?" he yelled.
"Maybe Stel might have seen someone come in, I'll call her" she said.
"Oh shit" I whispered, as my phone vibrated.
"Answer it, they can't hear us, they're on the balcony and we're in here" Brandon said.
"Hello?"
"Hey Stel. So some dimwitted, jerkwad, bitch ass, retarded fuckface thought it would be funny to prank us and fill this place with mousetraps and balloons and shit."
"Aw, that's really bad. Sorry I don't know who it was"
"Where exactly are you?"
"Where am I? Well I'm at...the arcade place"
"Why isn't there any music in the background then?"
"Because...um..."
"Shit what do I say?" I whispered, panicking.
"I don't know" he shrugged.
"Hello?"
"Sorry Muse, connections really bad. Basically, heres the truth, I met this really cute guy there and we hit it off, so I'm in his hotel room"
"No way. What's his name?"
"His name? It's um..it's...C-Cameron? Yeah Cameron." I said, making up lies by the minute. I don't know okay, I'm just tryna make it believable.
"Really? So where is he?"
I elbowed Brandon, hoping he'd kick in.
"Sunshine are you done yet? I'm missing those sweet lips" he said.
"Well damn girl, seems like you're having a good time, I won't disrupt any longer, have fun" she said, ending the call.
"Good going, but Sunshine? Where'd that come from?" I asked.
"Oh you know nicknames make it sound more real. Plus that nickname suits you. You know, the hair" he said.
"I guess. Now, how do we get out of here without them noticing us?" I asked.
"We make an escape now, before they get back, quietly okay? Don't make a racket like you usually do" he said.
"Hey I do not make a rack-" I started, but then paused when I realised I was speaking pretty loud, which further proved his point.
"Asshole" I muttered, rolling my eyes as I saw the smug grin on his face. "You go first"
"Fine" he said, opening the door slowly, before peeking out.
"Coast is clear" he said, as he was about to step out. Suddenly a wasp popped up, which took me by surprise, resulting in me shrieking, bumping my head on the wall and somehow slipping, which caused the both of us to collapse into the pool of balloons, making dozens pop loudly.
"Shit shit shit shit shit" I said, simultaneous to all the popping. I was now on top of Brandon in a very awkward position, and our faces were inches apart.
And being the cocky jerks who just ooze with pride when it comes to competition, we started blaming each other, not even moving from that position, just yelling in each others faces, unaware that two very confused people were standing right beside us.
"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU FALL YOU KLUTZ YOU BAITED US OUT!" he yelled.
"THERE WAS A WASP AND I ACCIDENTALLY LOST BALANCE, DUFUS. I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE WHAT KINDA IDIOT WOULD HIT THEIR HEAD ON A WALL AND END UP TRIPPING ON THE STUPID DUFFEL BAG IN THERE ON PURPOSE HUH?" I yelled.
"YEAH WELL THANKS TO THAT WASP WE'RE PRACTICALLY DEA-"
"Can someone explain what's going on here like this has been the weirdest day ever and now I see you two on top of each other like what has the world come to?" Riven interrupted.
Ah shit.
Busted.
"Riven, Musa, hey, we were just uh.." I stuttered, immediately getting off him, as we both stood up.
"Cameron? Really? I shoulda known it was you two, Stel would never even dare go up to a guy's room without AT LEAST texting me about it." Musa said.
"Uh, surprise?" Brandon chuckled nervously, as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"You two did all those pranks?" Riven asked.
"Yeah...are you gonna punch us both in the face?" I pouted.
"As much as I want to, you guys make it so difficult to punish you" he sighed, giving into my puppy face.
"How did even you come up with that?" Musa asked curiously.
"You're not mad?" Brandon asked, confusedly.
"No...I'm actually pretty impressed." she said.
"Hey, who wouldn't be when I prank them. I mean come on, those were classics, amateur's stuff, you ain't seen nothing yet" I smirked.
"The ego's got the best of her, it was me who thought of everything, obviously, the reigning king of Pranks" Brandon said.
"Excuse me? Did I just hear you call yourself the king of pranks? Because if I did then you need a reality check, I'm royalty when it comes to the world of pranks" I argued.
"Right, keep dreaming" he scoffed.
Did he just..hell no, I'll prove to him who's boss, just you wait...
"Whatever, if you did this to get back at us for the whole room thing then fair enough, we're equal, no more candy covered vegetables floating in the pool okay?" Riven said.
"Cool, now can we please go to the cinema? Those unlimited cheesy nachos are literally calling my name" I said.
"That was AWESOME" Musa squealed, as we walked out of the movie.
We had just seen Suicide Squad, and it was pretty good - so was the food.
"I know right. Oh by the way, in case you forgot, you promised me dinner" I said, slurping on the last bit my soda, before chucking it in a nearby bin.
"Yeah, where'd you wanna go? How about that restaurant down the street? I know you really wanted to go last night" she asked.
"Nah, already went with Brandon. How abou-"
"You two went to dinner together?!" Riven exclaimed.
"Yeah, bu-" Brandon started, but Musa cut him off.
"Why don't you tell us what really happened? Is this some type of cover up for a master plan? Did you drug Stella? Because if you did Brandy boy I will pop your head like a zit okay I warned you about this months ago, mess with her and you get me. Lay a single finger on her and I'll mur-"
"No one was drugged Musa calm down. And thanks for that...graphic image" I interrupted.
"So wait, you guys are actually friends? Like as in, a truce, or something?" She asked.
"Precisely" Brandon said.
"Hmm, still don't trust you though..." she said, glaring at him.
"Lay off him babe, at least no one is getting seriously injured, taken to the hospital, no property has been damaged, no one's been arrested, no cops have been called, and we haven't got kicked out, it could have been way worse you know" Riven said.
"True, at least you're not killing each other" she said.
"So anyways, as I was saying, how about you just come over and we can have girl's night, just us, like we planned before Riven came and sabotaged it all - no offence" I said.
"Cool. Brandon you can move back in for a night, don't bother to take your stuff though, you'll be back before midnight" Musa said.
"I'm gonna check up on Liam, see how the cat's doing" I said, calling him.
"Hello traitor"
"Traitor? What did I do to deserve that title?"
"You told me Brandon would be at home, but he isn't, instead he went off to some fancy smancy hotel where you are, leaving me ALONE"
"Sorry okay I thought he was gonna be there. How's the cat?"
"Oh, Meredith? She's living the high life, ordering me to do all of her chores!"
"The high life? She's a cat okay, she doesn't even have chores"
"She literally stole my bed and made it her throne, and she makes a fuss if I do something she doesn't want. Like i was watching TV with her yesterday and when it was Food Network, she was fine, but as soon as I changed it to Toddlers and Tiaras she like hisses at me"
"She has a point...I mean who doesn't love Food Network? I'd probably hiss at you too if you changed it to Honey boo boo. Also, I thought you loved cats? What happened?"
"I do but-...wait, who told you that?"
"Brandon, why?"
"What else did he tell you..."
"You know, stuff. Like all your embarrassing middle school stories and secret love of pets" I blurted out.
"When you guys get back I'm gonna ki-" he started, but I quickly ended the call.
"What did he say?" Brandon asked.
"Nothing, nothing. The cat is fine, and so is he, that's all we need to know" I said.
"So then the dude asked me, are you 21 miss? I was like MOTHERFUCKER THIS IS BLOODY LEMONADE NOT VODKA I DON'T NEED TO BE 21!" Musa screamed, as she told me her story.
"Then what?" I asked, practically jamming as much Chinese takeout noodles down my throat as I could.
"Then he kinda kicked me out. But can you believe it? Why the fudge do I need an ID for lemonade? And what do I look, like 3? I'm freaking 17 if I'm old enough to drive I'm pretty damn sure I'm old enough to have some squeezed lemon okay" she said.
"Yeah. That's why you should get everything from here, coz those downtown stores can be sketchy or downright dumb" I said.
"True. So what have you been up to? Except for pranking me and Riv of course.. What's up with you and Brandy-boy being all chill?" she asked.
"Well, after you kindly DITCHED me, we ended playing some arcade game, and obviously I won. Then we went to get dinner and he wasn't as asshole-ish as he seems if you get to know him" I said, as she looked at me with a smirk.
"Still an asshole, just like, less?" I said.
"Don't worry I get you. But I'm gonna miss being the spokesperson to a live WWE fight every time you guys are in the same room" she said.
"Yeah." I laughed "So what should we do now?"
"Truth or dare" She grinned.
"Okay. You first" I said.
"Truth" she said.
"If you had to choose between Riven and Zac Efron, who would you pick? Like if you weren't with Riven at the moment, you're single" I asked.
She thought about it for a couple seconds, then spoke.
"Still Riven, he's the best in my book" she said.
"Awwwww that's so frickin cute I can't" I squealed.
"Your turn" she said.
"Dare" I said.
Already regretting it.
"I know" she smirked. "Get a stranger to buy you a drink, then kiss him"
"Okay, first of all-" I started.
"I'm not taking no for an answer" she said.
"Oh come on Muse, I can't just, force some random guy to buy me a drink then snog him" I said.
"Please? For me" she pouted.
"Fine." I grumbled.
We went down to the casino place, and guess what?
Riven and Brandon are here too. Which means they'll see this embarrassing moment. Which means they'll use it against me in the future.
Great. Just great.
"Pick a guy" she said.
"I scanned the room, and a certain guy caught my eye. He looked about my age, and he had tan skin, green eyes and messy brown hair which was peeking out of his black beanie.
"Go!" Musa said, knowing who I was staring at, as if she read my mind or something.
"But I-"
"GO!" she repeated, pushing me.
You can do this Stel, I mean, he's just a guy, no biggie.
I took a deep breath and walked towards him, taking the seat next to him.
Which was when I realised the two devils were sitting a couple seats behind him, and were staring right at me. Fuck.
"Um, hey" I said nervously.
Wait, why am I nervous?
"Hi" he said, turning his head around as he finally noticed my presence.
What do I do now?
What if he has a girlfriend? That would be so embarrassing on my part.
And I can't just ask him if he's single, it might lead him on.
"Are you here alone?" he asked.
Okay, he's clearly single if he's asking me that, right?
"Yeah, you?" I asked.
"Yup" he smiled, biting his lip
Dear god, he's so adorable.
"Can I get you a drink?" he asked.
"Me? A drink?" I asked.
That's the first part of her dare, and I didn't even need to do anything. Well damn.
"Uh yeah sure, why not?" I said.
A couple minutes later, there was some small talk, but I was getting really freaking nervous. I mean, I haven't done this stuff since...uh, let's just say it's been some time, so I more or less forgot how to talk to guys.
"S-so, uh, w-where are you from? Like, unless you're from here, you know, San Fran, t-then that's like, uh, totally cool too" I stuttered.
AH FROZEN FUDGEBALLS I'M DYING HERE SOMEONE HELP.
The guy, who's name I learned is Blake, wasn't cringing at me like I was, infact I think he found somehow found it cute that I was sweating like niagara falls over here, since he was staring at me in adoration and grinning.
But behind him, stupid Riven and Brandon were silently laughing their asses off at me failing miserably to speak english. I tried my hardest to ignore the jerks, but it was really pissing me off now.
"Will you excuse me for a minute?" I asked. He nodded and I got up and walked straight up to them.
"Can I help you?!" I asked, frustrated.
As soon I stood in front of them with a frown on my face, they couldn't keep it in anymore, and Riven spat out his fucking drink IN MY POOR FACE.
Wow. Just wow.
Now all chances of kissing this dude are blown thanks to Riven, I mean I look like I dipped my head into a damn water fountain.
"First of all, I'm going to throw bricks at your face when I get the chance" I said, glaring at Riven.
"Sorry, totally didn't mean that" he said.
"And second. Why are you guys laughing at me?" I whined.
"Coz it's funny" Brandon laughed.
"What's funny?" I asked.
"You trying to hit on that guy" he said.
"I'm not trying to hit on him. Musa dared me to get him to buy me a drink and then kiss him" I said.
"You're joking" he said.
I looked at them with a straight face, and then it struck them that I wasn't joking
"Bro, I think she's serious" Riven said, before they both started to laugh again.
I am so offended right now.
"You don't think I can do it, do you?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.
"Well, if we're being honest here..." Brandon shrugged.
"Okay, watch me" I said.
I'll show them!
"Woah, what happened to you?" Blake asked, noticing the drink that was splattered mostly on my face and chest.
"Someone accidentally spilt their drink, and they're lucky that I'm forgiving enough not to rip their face off" I said, looking at Riven.
"Oh, here" he said, giving me a paper towel.
"Thanks" I said, wiping my face with it.
In the corner of my eye I could see Brandon and Riven looking at me really doubtfully.
Come on Stel, just do it. Just kiss him.
I leaned forward slowly, and it seemed he was getting the message because he did it too.
Ah geez, what if I'm leading him on to the wrong thing?
Theres no going back now, just do it!
Wait, what if I forgot how to kiss?
Okay you're just stalling now, kiss him!
But, wait, what if-
My thoughts were cut off by his lips colliding onto mine. I was too busy arguing with my conscience to realise he beat me to it.
Wait a minute.
He's kissing me.
Fuck yeah, I did it.
Since this was the first and probably last kiss I'd have for a long time, I decided to make it count.
I snaked my arm around his neck, drawing him as close as possible, as he cupped my face with one hand and wrapped the other around my waist.
Mind you, we were sitting on bar stools, so that took some skill.
It wasn't emotional or anything like that. It was just pure physical attraction, which was good because I didn't want to start anything. And hey, the fact that there was a cocktail splattered all over my white shirt, making my bra pretty visible, probably did all the work for me.
After what seemed to be a very long time, I pulled away, my breath heavy.
"I got to go, but I'll see you round" I winked, getting up and walking straight to the guys.
Riven kinda looked like he was in awe, but Brandon was like gobsmacked. Did he really think I couldn't do it?
"I'm impressed" Riven smirked, hi fiving me.
"Got anything to say, Brandy?" I asked.
"...How?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes and looked around for Musa, then spotted her sipping on a drink.
"Mission accomplished" I said.
"Wait, you did it?" she asked.
"You're kidding me. You didn't see?" I asked.
"I'm joking, I saw. Well done" she said.
"Thanks" I said.
"Hey, is that a hickey?" she asked, pointing to my neck.
"What? Where? That's impossible, we didn't even-"
"I'm joking, again." she chuckled.
8 days later
This trip has been mind-blowingly awesome. Today's our last day, and we were getting ready to go an all you can eat buffet place downtown, so we were packing our stuff. I grabbed the last of my clothes and jammed them into my suitcase, but I felt like I was forgetting something..
"My baby!" I said. That's it, I forgot to pack Stella Junior. I looked around my room, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I went to the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and even the balcony, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Brandon, have you seen Stella Junior?" I yelled.
"Check your closet" he yelled.
"I already checked my- OH MY GOD" I screamed, opening the closet door, as thousands of bouncy balls fell out, practically attacking me and making me fall to the floor.
"Gotcha" Brandon said, standing at my door.
So, all week we've been having a prank battle to see who the best prankster is, and I guess this is one of his stupid little pranks, kidnapping my child and assaulting me with balls.
Asshole.
"Where is she?!" I wailed.
"You looking for this?" He smirked, waving Stella Junior around.
"Gimme!" I said, getting up.
"Come and get it" he said, before running off.
"I'm going to kill you, dickhead!" I screamed, chasing him around, until I finally backed him up on the balcony. He looked at the pool, then back at me and grinned.
Don't you dare get her wet or else I will-
"BRANDON!" I whined, as he jumped in. I had no choice but to jump in after.
I tried to tackle him, but it was harder than I thought since we were in the water and I didn't want to drown. He kept moving it side to side, which is when I realised his white shirt was soaked, and his abs were peeking through.
Damn, I knew he had a hot body, but not this hot, I mean-
Snap out of it Stel, your child is in danger!
"Enjoying the view are we?" he winked.
"You're...so...going...to...regret...this...shields" I said, jumping up and down, as he held it up, mocking the fact that I couldn't reach it.
"Guys! This is no time to be swimming, we need to get going!" Riven said, standing near the pool, face palming.
I saw he was distracted and splashed water in his face, then quickly grabbed Stella Junior.
"Aw, poor thing" I said, cuddling it as I got out the pool. I dried myself up and changed, then wrapped a towel around Stella Junior so the rest of my suitcase wouldn't be soaked, and so that it could dry.
"She looks so cute, like a sushi" I cooed.
"It's literally just a pillow" Brandon sighed, drying his hair.
"Shut up, she's my baby" I said, as I put it in my suitcase then shut it.
"Whatever" he said, walking out.
I need to get him back...what should I do?
I've got it! I'll bust his car tire, since he loves his car so much. If I do anything more than that he'll back me over with a truck, but he can't do shit because tires are replaceable.
"Stel, we're gonna leave, are you ready?" Musa asked.
"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up, I need to..um, call my mom" I said
"Okay we're gonna put our suitcases in the cars and then we'll wait for you near the fountain" she said, grabbing my suitcase. I waited a couple minutes then went to the parking lot, and they weren't there.
I spot Brandon's car, then took out a small screwdriver from my bag.
Why do I have a screwdriver in my bag? Well, Musa said you gotta be prepared for everything and anything, so she gave it to me. Weird, I know.
I took a deep breath, as I held it near the tire.
"He's still gonna kill me" I said to myself. "Whatever"
I pierced it into the rubber, making the air slowly hiss out.
"Don't ever mess with Stella Junior again" I whispered, before finding the others at the fountain.
"There you are, what took you so long?" Riven asked.
"Nothing, let's go" I said.
"Okay I'm totally coming back here just for that restaurant" Musa said.
"Me too, I don't think it gets better than that" I said, as we reached the parking lot.
"Woah, dude, your car has a flat tire" Riven said.
Brandon's eyes narrowed at me.
"You little fucker" he said.
"Couldn't resist" I shrugged.
"How are you guys gonna get home?" Musa asked.
"Stella did you think this through?" Riven asked.
"Um, no not really" I said.
"Getting a new tire would take too long from where we are, so we'll get a tow truck to bring it back" Riven said.
"Which means you guys can drive with us!" Musa squealed.
"Wait what?!" I asked. "I wouldn't have done it if I knew that I'd have to be squished with him in a car"
"What, you thought we could just repair it in two seconds?" Brandon asked.
"Uh, yeah? Most cars carry a spare tire" I said.
"Well thanks to Riven here, that spare tire is in the middle of a lake" Brandon said.
"How?" Musa asked.
"Long story, trust me you do not wanna know" Riven said.
"Okay, so can I drive?" I asked, as Riven took out the suitcases from the trunk and put them in Musa's car.
"I don't know about that, I mean-" Musa started.
"You guys can have the back to yourselves, and ya know, canoodle...or whatever else couples do" I said.
"Okay Stel can drive" Musa said.
"No way, I don't want them being all mushy in the back, plus, you're probably a crazy driver" Brandon said.
"I'm not!" I said.
"I'm driving, Musa's shotgun, and you two in the back, okay?" Riven said.
"But-"
"Not buts, get in" Riven said.
Great, I'm gonna be stuck next to Brandon for like the next 5 hours.
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything but boy I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without you
"So one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home. One more time, I promise after that, I'll let you go. Baby I don't care if you got her in your heart. All I really care is you wake up in my arms. One last time, I need to be the one who takes you home" I sang along...or screamed along.
"Will someone please shut her up" Brandon complained, covering his ears.
"Hey, my singing is really good" I said.
"It doesn't matter how good you are, you're still as loud as a bomb explosion and my ear drums can't take it anymore" he said.
"Well I'm bored, and I have nothing else to do" I said.
"How long have we got left?" Brandon asked.
"About 3 hours" Musa said.
"UGH" Brandon and I groaned simultaneously.
"Can we stop for food?" I asked.
"In about half an hour, because that's when we're stopping for gas" Riven said.
"Lets play never have I ever" Musa said.
"I'm not playing, because I'm a responsible driver who is too young and beautiful to die" Riven said.
"Okay, everyone put 10 fingers up." I said.
"I can't believe I'm doing this" Brandon sighed.
"I'll start. Never have I ever kissed a stranger" Musa said.
"Haha very funny Muse" I said sarcastically, as I put one down.
"Never have I ever ran a red light" Brandon said.
"Okay don't lie I'm pretty sure you guys have too" Musa said, putting a finger down.
"Nope" I said.
"Only yellow" Brandon said.
"Never have I ever kissed someone in the rain" I said.
"How'd you know?" Musa asked.
"Lucky guess" I shrugged. "But that would be so cool, I want to do that someday"
"Never have I ever broken someone's bones" Musa said.
"Oh come on, what is this, opposite day?" I asked, putting one finger down, as I looked over to Brandon who had one down too.
"I've only sprained, bruised or been very close to breaking people's body parts" Musa said. "Anyways, I'm guessing you guys are talking about each other?"
"Nope, when I was 9 Liam and I were play fighting and I slammed him on the floor and practically crushed his hand" Brandon said.
"I think that wall you broke counts too" I said.
"How about you Stel?" Musa asked.
"I tried out for cheerleading. They put me at the top of the pyramid. Enough said" I said.
"Poor cheerleaders" Brandon said.
"You have no idea. I also tried out martial arts when I was 11, got kicked out for slamming this girl Kelsey into a wall. But she deserved it" I said.
"Never have I ever gone vegan" Brandon said.
"Ha!" I said.
"It was only for a day" Musa whined.
"Still counts" Brandon said.
"Never have I ever flirted my way out of a parking ticket" I said.
"It was one time" Musa groaned.
"Okay I was expecting her but you?" I asked.
"It was a female officer, and hey, it worked. I mean who wouldn't fall for someone as hot as me" Brandon said.
"Calm your ego" I said.
"Hey, we should play a drinking game" Musa suggested.
"We're in a car" I said.
"We're not driving" she said.
"Good point. But still, bad idea" I said.
"You guys can shut up now, we're close to a McDonalds. And we're not using the drive thru because I'm too tired to keep driving" Riven said, parking shortly after getting gas.
"I'll drive" Brandon said, as we got out the car.
"I'm shotgun" I said.
"She just can't stay away from him, can she?" Musa said.
"No, I just want to be in charge of the music, and have space, and I'm letting you guys sit together so be grateful" I said.
"Jeez woman okay" Riven said.
"Are we there yet?" I asked.
"No." Brandon said.
"Are we there yet?" I asked.
"No." he said.
"Brandon?" I asked.
"Stella." he replied.
"Are we-" I started.
"NO" he interrupted.
"Okay okay" I said, trying to get comfy in my seat.
"Can we play a game?" I said.
"I'm driving, it's late, I'm tired, Musa and Riven are asleep, so no" he said.
"Aw, they're asleep on each other, so cute" I said, snapping a pic.
"Brandon" I asked.
"Yeah?" he said.
"I'm tired" I yawned.
"Go to sleep then" he said.
"I'm too cold" I said.
"There's a blanket on the rear dash" he said.
"Don't mind me" I said, undoing my seat belt as I tried to crawl through the small space between the front and back seats.
I'm pretty sure this is illegal.
"You're not going to fit" he said.
"Yes I am" I said, somehow squeezing through and almost kicking his face in the process. I grabbed the blanket and squeezed back through, then put my seat belt back on.
"Goodnight" I whispered, snuggling into the blanket before dozing off.
"Stella, hey. Wake up"
"What time is it?" I asked, opening my eyes. "Are we home?"
"It's almost midnight. No, we just dropped Riven off and now we're parked outside Musa's house." Brandon said.
"Oh. Can I go back to sleep?" I asked.
"Nope" he said, literally pulling me out the car.
"It would be better if we walked from here, so I don't need to give her car back in the morning" He said.
"Cool." I said. It's only a short distance from Musa's house to Brandon's, like a 10 minute walk.
"Here" he said, getting out our suitcases, then locking the car door and chucking the keys to Musa, who was standing at her door.
"Night Stel, see you in the morning" she said.
"Bye" I said, as we walked off.
Well this is awkward.
Just me and Brandon walking home in the middle of the night, the only sound coming from the loud wheels of our suitcases.
"So...you tired?" I asked.
"From driving 3 hours? Yeah" he said. "How are you still tired though? You slept a full hour"
"That's like nothing for me. Plus, I had to get up really early this morning to pack and stuff" I said.
"By the way, sorry for the tire, I didn't really think that one through" I said.
"It's fine. I still won the war either way" he said.
"How?" I asked.
"I poured coffee on you while you were asleep" he said.
"Brandon!" I said.
"I'm kidding. Seems like Liam's awake" Brandon said, as we finally reached home, and all the lights were on.
"Stella, you're back!" Liam said, opening the door as he gave me a bone-crushing hug.
"What, I don't get a welcome?" Brandon said.
"Welcome. We have much to discuss about distributing certain secrets to certain people" he said.
"Where's Meredith?" I asked.
"Probably on the couch watching America's Next Top Model or something" he said.
"Well I'm going straight to sleep because I'm jet lagged" I said.
"We travelled by car, and it was across a state not to a different continent" Brandon said.
"Still. I'm..car lagged? Whatever, goodnight" I said, before going straight up to my room and going to sleep.
Don't worry the next chapters will not be this late, because I've already written them, which is why I took all this time lol. I was stuck with this chapter and had ideas for future ones so I wrote them. The next chapter will have some secrets pouring out, so stay tuned. Anyways, what did you think about this chapter?
Love you all xx
