Chapter 15 Accepting The Past Part 1

"So what happened"?

"I don't know, Brandon called me telling me that he needed help with Stella".

"So I'm guessing it didn't go well then".

"Probably not".

As soon as Bloom had received the message from Brandon she had called the other girls and pulled them from their relaxing vacations to help Brandon, now they were running along the streets of Gardenia, holding flashlights and discussing the problem.

"Where did Brandon say he was" Layla asked.

"He said he was waiting by the forest" Bloom told her.

"Oh god, I hope she hasn't gone in there" Tecna said, "It's dark, anyone could be in there".

This made the girls run faster, soon they came to the edge of the forest and they found Brandon waiting there for them.

"Oh thank god you girls are here" He said, he looked really worried.

"Brandon what happened" Musa asked.

"Well she saw a picture of me and her from when she was Stella and she freaked out, I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen, she thought I was making it all up and then she ran into the forest before I could stop her" Brandon said looking over to the forest in concern, "I just hope she's ok".

"Come on we need to find her" Bloom said, "I say we split up, that way we can find her quicker" The others agreed, Bloom and Tecna went together, Musa and Brandon went another way and Flora and Layla went into the centre of the forest.

Nicole was still lying in the middle of the forest crying into her knees, the poor girl was distraught and she felt that everything in her life was just a waste of time.

"Stella" She heard a voice cry out, it wasn't a voice that she recognized, she couldn't help but looking over to the direction where the voice was coming from.

"Stella" There it was again, Nicole was getting a bit nervous, who knows what these people wanted but still her fear rooted her down to the ground and she couldn't move, suddenly she heard the sound of footsteps coming towards her, Nicole's eyes widened as a figure came into view.

The figure stopped moving and looked at Stella, it shined a flashlight at her so her face became clear.

"Oh my god" The figure said, "Flora I found her".

Another figure came into view, "Oh my" It said, they both started to walked towards Nicole which scared her.

"Who are you?" She asked frightened.

"Don't be afraid, we are from your past" One said, it crouched down beside Nicole so she could see her face clearly, it was tanned and she had dark brown hair.

"I'm Layla" The girl said, "I used to be your friend before your accident".

"Why are you calling me Stella, it's not my name" Nicole whimpered.

"I know it might seem a bit confusing but your name is Stella" flora said crouching down beside Nicole n her other side.

"It's not, stop saying that" Nicole cried, tears rolling down her face again.

"Flora call Brandon, tell him we've found her" Layla told Flora, she nodded and pulled her cell phone out.

"You know Brandon? No I don't want to see him" Nicole said trying to run away again.

"No Stella don't" Layla said quickly getting up and grabbing her hand, "please we're trying to help".

"Well I don't need your help" Nicole yelled pushing Layla's hand off and running away again.

"I had her" Layla muttered, Flora walked back over to Layla, "Don't worry" She said, "maybe the others will run into her, but in the meantime we should leave her".

Nicole ran once again through the tall trees and she hoped that she wasn't being followed again, she was so scared that someone was following her that she didn't realize that there were two people ahead of her, she crashed straight into them and fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry" Nicole quickly said.

"Nicole?" Came a voice, she looked up and saw Brandon and another girl looking down at her.

Nicole tried to get away from them, "No not again" She cried desperately trying to get up from the ground.

"Nicole listen to me" Brandon said trying to help her up, she quickly moved away from Brandon's hand.

"I don't need your help Brandon" She hissed as she started to run again.

"Not again" Brandon muttered, "Musa go find the other girls, I'll try helping her" Musa nodded and ran off to find the girls while Brandon ran down a path that lead him further into the forest.

Nicole as getting tired, she had been running for most of the night and she needed a break but she knew that Brandon was following her, she could here footsteps after her and she really didn't want for him to catch up with her.

Suddenly her foot caught underneath a hole in the ground and it tripped her up, Nicole fell to the ground and she desperately tried to pull her foot out the hole but it was as if the ground had swallowed her foot up, it was stuck right inside.

Brandon saw Nicole on the floor and rushed to her side, "Nicole are you ok?" He asked, Nicole turned her head away.

"I'm fine you can go now" She hissed.

"Well it doesn't look like your fine" He said indicating to her foot.

"Why are you following me Brandon, I told you that I was fine on my own, I don't need someone that lies to me in my life" Nicole said.

"Nicole the only reason why I lied to you is because I care about you, I needed you to trust me so that I could tell you about your future, if you didn't know me then you would've thought I was a freak" Brandon said to her, Nicole turned her head slightly to face Brandon again.

"If I didn't care about you then why would I keep on seeing you, why would I ask you to go out with me and well why would I have kissed you" Brandon told her, "There are reasons why I am trying to be with you, but I need you to trust me first".

Nicole hesitated, yes it wasn't a lie that she wanted to go with him but there was something inside of her that was telling her to hold back, but this feeling was probably not that strong because she found herself nodding.

"Yes, I do trust you Brandon" She whispered, Brandon smiled and crouched down to tell her the story of her past, this was going to be a long night.

I will get part two of the chapter up soon so review and it will be up (And my hiccups are still here by the way!)
