Chapter 7 Trying to Remember
Bloom was pacing impatiently around her house, an hour ago she had called Brandon to tell him that she had seem Stella, well not in person but still the paper said that she was living here so they should be able to find her.
She sat down on a chair and started to bite her fingernails, she glanced at the clock, she brought her hand away from her mouth and started to drum it on the table.
Soon there was a knock at the door, which caused Bloom to jump about five feet into the air, she hurried to the door and yanked it open and there stood Brandon looking worried.
"Oh thank god you're here," Bloom said giving a sigh of relief, "Come in".
Brandon walked into the house and Bloom followed, "Well come on" Brandon said, "What is so important that you can't tell me over the phone".
Bloom nodded and she walked over to the table and picked up the paper, she handed it to Brandon.
"Read the front page," She said blankly, Brandon stared down at the paper and soon his worried face changed to a confuted look.
"Suicide girl lives? What's that got to do with Stella?" He said, Bloom tapped the photo next to the article, "Look" She said.
Brandon looked down at the photo and gasped, "Oh my god…Stella".
Bloom took a deep breath, "Yeah".
Brandon placed a hand on his head, "Oh god," He said, he read the article.
"She fell off a roof? But why surely she didn't do it deliberately I mean I always thought she was happy with her life" Brandon said, Bloom could hear his tone of voice changing; it sounded like he was about to cry.
Brandon quickly turned to the read the entire article, "She broke her ribs and one bone in her right arm but that is said to be all that is wrong with her" He read aloud.
"I know it seems like shock but it says that she lives somewhere round here so if you want we could go looking for her to see if we can find her" Bloom said.
Brandon stared down at the paper again; he looked at the picture of Stella and sighed.
"Ok" Brandon said, He placed the paper back on the table and he and Bloom left.
A few hours had passed and Nicole was strolling through the town smiling to herself, today was a nice day the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in sight.
She then stopped at a shop window to check her reflection; she flicked her hair back a few times and as she straightened up to leave something glimmered in the sunlight, which caught her eye.
Around her neck was a beautiful diamond necklace; Nicole lifted it up so she could see it properly.
"If only I had my memory I could remember who gave me this beautiful necklace," She whispered to herself.
She gave a sigh and started to walk back to her home, meanwhile on the other side of the street was Bloom and Brandon, they had pretty much given up hope looking for Stella.
"We've looked everywhere for her, Bloom, you said she was here so where is she?" Brandon said getting slightly annoyed.
"Look Brandon I didn't say she would defiantly be here, the newspaper said that she was living round here so that's what I choose to believe" Bloom said folding her arms.
"Well maybe next time you shouldn't believe every word the paper tells you" Brandon hissed looking Bloom right in the eye.
"Brandon trying to scare me won't help finding Stella you know" Bloom said angrily.
Brandon clenched his fist and his eyes narrowed, Bloom thought he was going to punch her but then Brandon sighed and bowed his head.
"Sorry" He said quietly.
"Don't worry" Bloom said placing a hand on his shoulder, "I'd be like this if I found out that Sky had been in an accident".
"How big is Earth Bloom? If she's not here then who knows where she could've gone" Brandon muttered.
"I'm pretty sure she's still here Brandon, she only just came out of hospital and I don't think that she's up to going away to different places" Bloom reassured him, "If you want you want you can stay here with me until the end of the holidays, that way we can carry on looking for Stella".
"Ok" Brandon said, a smile was forming in the side of his mouth, "thanks".
Bloom didn't reply, her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were wide she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Bloom what's wrong" Brandon asked.
Bloom didn't speak instead she pointed to the other side of the road, "Look" she whispered.
Brandon looked over to where Bloom was pointing and just like Bloom, his mouth fell open too".
"Stella"
Brandon blinked, he had found her finally and he had to pinch his arm to check that he wasn't dreaming.
"Is that actually her," Bloom said smiling.
"Yeah defiantly I'd recognize that blonde hair anywhere," Brandon said with a huge grin on his face.
Stella was slowly walking down the road, Brandon watched her as if she was a goddess.
"STELLA" He called, she didn't turn around, "HEY STELLA IT'S ME".
Again Stella didn't show any interest, she just carried on walking.
"Well don't just stand there, go after her" Bloom said giving Brandon a push, Brandon ran straight across the road, not caring that he nearly got hit by a car.
He ran down the path trying to catch up with Stella, however the path was full of people and they were all in his way.
"STELLA" Brandon called again trying to fight his way through the crowd she carried on walking.
"Oh come ON" Brandon hissed, he managed to push his way through and he looked for her but she was out of sight.
"Can't I get a break today?" Brandon thought.
He ran down the path looking down other different ways that led to other places, then he saw her again, she was walking up a garden path and to a door.
"It's now or never" Brandon said, he ran as fast as he could, he ran straight up to Stella just as she had put the key in the door, he placed a hand on her shoulder causing her to spin around.
It's her Brandon thought, It's actually her I can't believe it.
"Hey" He said to Stella, "I finally found you".
Stella blinked, "Found who".
Brandon gave a laugh, "You sweetie, I've been looking everywhere for you" He put his arm around her, "come on I'll take you back".
"Back where" Stella said pushing his arm off her shoulder, "I'm sorry but I don't know you".
Brandon froze, "Stella come on it's me, Brandon".
"Brandon?" Stella muttered, "I don't know you, I'm sorry but you're scaring me" And with that Stella opened the door to her house and closed the door.
Brandon's mouth dropped, what was this? Was it some sort of weird game she was playing? Whatever it was it had made Brandon worried, he sighed and walked away until he thought of something, there was a huge tree in the garden, Brandon walked towards it and started to climb it.
"Has he gone?" Nicole whispered to herself, she peered out of her bedroom window and scanned the garden for Brandon; she gave a sigh of relief when she couldn't see him.
"Thank goodness," She said lying down on her bed, "he really freaked me out" She said out loud, "I mean why did he keep calling me Stella? But maybe, what if he knew me before I lost my memory, what if he's a friend or something".
Nicole shook her head, "No if he did know me, he would have realized that I was in hospital an he would've come to visit me or at least tell me who I really am".
Nicole gave a sigh and got up from her bed and walked over to a desk in her room, Meanwhile outside Brandon was still climbing the tree, he was trying to get into a position, which would let him to see Stella, finally he could see into Stella's bedroom window however he was on a very narrow branch and the tree was quite high from the ground so he had to be very careful.
He saw Stella sitting at a desk writing in a diary or something, Brandon tried to move closer for a better view however his foot missed the branch and he lost his footing and fell of the tree and down to the ground with a loud thud
