Chapter 10- After Revenge is Sweet (III)
"Go away!" Stella shouted but it sounded like a muffle due to the fact her head was in between her knees.
"Stella, it's just Aneisha and Keri. We came here to talk to you." Aneisha explained to Stella, whose head slowly lifted up revealing her face covered with running mascara and salty tear drops. Under all that were bright red cheeks, puffy eyes and her some of her hair was covering her face. So basically, her face is a right mess.
"Stella, we want to know what happened between you and Frank." At the sound of the word 'Frank' a tear rolled down her cheek. She opened her mouth to say something but her throat was dry. She swallowed and coughed then started to speak.
"Well… no… I can't do it." She said looking away from the two girls. They both sat down next to Stella; Keri on the left and Aneisha on the right.
"Its okay, Stella, take your time." Aneisha said calmly.
"Well, apparently I was all happy and giggly because I ate that cupcake. That's where it all went wrong…" Stella swallowed hard, not wanting to continue but she knew she could trust Aneisha and Keri.
"Its okay, Stella, just breathe." Keri said gently. Aneisha looked at Keri funnily; she'd never heard Keri talk like that before. She'd always make everything a joke or she's really bubbly.
"Just as the effects reversed, Frank shouted at me. But it wasn't only the shouting that got me, it was his expression," she took a deep breath and continued,
"It was a face I had seen 10 years ago, in the KORPS raid. That's why I ran off, I thought I had forgotten that face; I was wrong." She started to get teary again and even Aneisha and Keri started getting teary.
"My best friend had gone and I blamed it all on Frank, he gave me the face I saw today when I told him we should break up."
"Stella, I'm so sorry…" Aneisha said giving her a hug. Keri gave her a hug too and the girls shared a moment of silence together. The two girls knew technically Stella was a higher rank than them, but she needed a break.
"Stella, I think you need a day's rest. Come on; let's get your face cleaned up." Keri laughed a little and Stella laughed a bit too; it was the first time she had laughed since it happened. The three agents got up off of the sofa and walked downstairs to the female toilets. Aneisha had grabbed a cloth and soaked it in water to clean Stella's face with. She squeezed the access water out and gave the cloth to Stella.
Stella laughed when she looked in the mirror at her face. She rubbed her face hard with the cloth so her mascara would rub off. Her face still had black smudges so Keri her some make-up wipes; she always carried them with her wherever she went. Keri also gave her some make-up that she used on her own face because Stella really wanted make-up on her face.
"There! All done!" Stella exclaimed at her clean face. She had black mascara on her eyelashes, foundation all over her face, a touch of blush and bright red lipstick that she uses all the time. Aneisha and Keri smiled that Stella was feeling happy again.
"Now, we have to fix my hair." Stella laughed and the girls just rolled their eyes but they laughed too.
Dan and Tom pulled up a chair each so they could talk to Frank calmly about the whole situation. His face was a mess; red cheeks, puffy eyes just like Stella's. Dan put a hand on Frank's shoulder.
"Frank, we just want to talk to you about Stella." At the word 'Stella' a tear rolled down his cheek. Why did I do that to her? He thought to himself.
"W-well…" the subject was still touchy, but Dan and Tom were like his family now so he knew that he could trust them. He cleared his throat and started again.
"Well, she was at the giggly stage of the cupcake situation and she jumped on me and I fell to the ground. I yelled at me and she looked like she was about to burst into tears. She's heard me yell before but not at her. She ran and ran and I went after her so I could apologise but I… never found her." Frank started to cry again so Dan and Tom gave him a hug. Boys never hug but at this point in time they didn't really care, especially as he is a nerdy geek/geeky nerd (Whichever sounds better!)
"Come on Frank, you need to walk it out." Dan said to him pulling him off of the chair while Tom handed Frank a tissue to wipe his face with. Frank really couldn't be bothered right now so he gave in.
"Oh, alright let's go." He said whilst all three of them walked into the lift to get some fresh air.
When they left the school it was really dark outside so they walked across the road to their local park. All three of the boys walked next to each other on the footpath leading up to a hill where he and Stella always used to sit when they had time off.
Frank and Stella could only think about one thing at this point in time: Each other. They both hoped that tomorrow is a new day and everything would go back to normal; little did they know that they were both thinking the same thing as one another…
So… the cliffy returns! What will happen with their relationship now?! Please read and review then I will post more chapters. I mean, come on, two in one day?! I'm spoiling you! Have a good day/night everyone! (Depending on where you live, for me it's night. I'm going to sleep because I'm so sleepy… can't wait for my birthday tomorrow! )
