"You, just stay away from my Stella" those words broke my heart into pieces and the pieces flew away, now there was nothing.
"Um, hi Mr. Summers! I'm Musa, Stella's best friend and I hate to talk to you this way, but I can't watch you do this. Honestly, Brandon loves her and he didn't know! This will hurt Stella more than protect her! You have to under-"
"That was final!" he snapped, but that wasn't the only thing he snapped. He snapped my heart.
Before I could respond, Stella moved. I ran up to the bed and grabbed her hand.
"Stella?" I asked, ignoring the look her dad was shooting me.
She leaned up holding her head with her free hand.
"Stella!" Musa cheered as her tears turned into tears of joy, and she pushed everyone in her way to stand at the bed, also.
"Hey guys, got anything for headaches?" she questioned wearily. I didn't answer her, I hugged her, leaving her out of breath and kissed her head. She was obviously in shock and had no idea where she was at nor what had just happened, but she grinned anyways. That smile that could knock me down in a seconds worth. She cupped my face with her hands and brushed her lips against mine. Dang, I need to do whatever I did to deserve that again!
Stella's father, Radius, slipped out of room.
"Stella, you freaking scare me like that again and I'll have to poison you for real!" playfully, Musa threatened
"Love you too, Muse" she sweetly said and pulled Musa in for the longest hug I've ever seen
I walked outside the crowded room to find Mr. Radius staring mindlessly at the tiled flooring, so I decided to stand next to him, leaning my back against the wall.
"Yes?" he asked in annoyance
"I'm sorry about not listening to you, Sir, but why won't you let me see Stella?" I sighed
He took a deep breath and almost spoke, but Stella came out.
"Hey, what's going on?" she asked innocently, that's how she got everything
"Stella, may I talk to you?" her dad didn't give her a chance to answer, he took her arm and walked her down the hall. Again, she was confused and so was I. What was he going to tell her?
Stella's P.O.V
What was going on? Daddy walked me into an empty hall and into a classroom and closed the door behind him.
"Stella, can I talk to you?"
"Sure?"
"When I tell you this, don't yell"
"Okay, tell me!"
"I don't want you to see Brandon" that was least expected thing, ever.
"W-wait, what? Why?"
"He's one of those who'll break your heart and he almost took your life!"
"You think he'll break my heart? That's f-freaking ridiculous! And he didn't almost 'take my life,' he was making sure I wasn't getting dehydrated! Dad, you've got to be kidding me!" but I don't think he was, he shook his head back and forth.
"Stella!" he screamed, but I ran out of the door and into the bathroom. I crouched down in a corner and buried my head in my knees. This sucks. This truly sucks.
"Stella, don't lie to me, you're in here" that was Musa, I know
"Yes..." I mumbled, with tears streaming down my face. Muse walked in and took a seat next to me.
"What happened?"
"How'd you know I was in here?"
"Brandon told me what was probably gonna happen and I knew you'd be in here. Did he really tell you that-"
"Yes, Muse... he did!" I cried and leaned on her shoulder
"Well I want you to know, I'm in the same situation. My dad hates Riven, he thinks he's dangerous, like he's going to hurt me. Daddy thinks we're just friends, but I don't know how he's gonna react, now."
"Aw, Musa. That's awful, he thinks Riven will hurt you?"
"Yep, he says Riven can't control his anger..."
"That's crazy! He'd never hurt you! I stood up
"I know, Stella, but what can we do?" she cooed, taking my hand and pulling me back onto the floor
"I don't know. My dad thinks Brandon will 'break my heart,' which is stupid"
"We need to prove them wrong, Stel" she smirked her 'I've got an idea' smirk
"Oh gosh, what is it?"
"We need the boys in on this, but we need a situation where they 'save' us and our fathers will gain respect for the two!"
"I love it! Oh wow, I'm so glad we're both on the devious page!"
"Oh yeah, Stella! When will this happen and we need a plan!"
"Okay, tomorrow at school, I've got an idea..."
We kept talking about our plan and told Brandon and Riven. At first they were unsure, but we know how to persuade (a little lip action, I may add in.) We left the school that night in complete silence, I was still upset with my dad, but I can still talk to Brandon on the phone!
We pulled in the driveway, but I couldn't stop thinking about how great this plan will work! Me and Musa will have our men as she puts it.
That night I dialed Brandon's number on my phone. I needed to talk to him.
"Stella, you're not supposed to talk to me" that was his 'hello'
"I know Brandon, but I can't help it... so our plan, just be careful!"
"Don't worry, Stel. I'll take this risk to be with you."
"I'm pretty scared though..."
"Don't be, gorgeous, everything will work out"
I sighed, "Alright, we wouldn't have to go through any of this if my dad would stop acting like that"
"Well your dad never really liked me and come on Stel, dads don't usually get along with the boyfriends"
I giggled, "So boyfriend?"
"You know what I meant, Stel"
"Fine whatever..." I found it funny that he knew these things since I was his first girlfriend and he was my first boyfriend. How do I know this? Number one, we're best friends and number two we were love-struck by each other. Just the thought of that brings a humongous smile to my face.
"Stella, the plan is risky right?"
"Thank you for making me think of it again, but yes" I said with a hint of sarcasm
"You will have a backup if something happens to me and Riven, right?"
"Um, we'll try, but what if we don't?"
"Like I said, I'll take this risk to be with you"
"I love to hear say that," I grinned
"I'm not just saying it, I mean it"
"I know, because someone else would never do this for me"
"I guess I'm not someone else"
"You're so much more," I told him with a bright smile. I loved our cute, mushy conversations
"11:11, make a wish"
"I don't need too," I smirked and fell onto my bed, like I was in some kind of dream
Musa's P.O.V
"Hey Muse, it's 11:11, make a wish" Riven informed me over the phone
"Why would I need to? I have you, that's all I need"
"You don't have me now"
"Well I guess you're right about that! I just wish we didn't have to put you through this..."
"I know Musa, but I need to be with you! I just don't understand why your dad thinks I'll hurt you, trust me Musa, I'd never"
"I know, Riven. My dad is just overprotective, he thinks you can't control your anger..."
"I can Musa, besides I'd never, ever take it out on you"
"You don't even have to tell me, I feel safe when I'm with you, Riven"
"Good, I want you to know that I'll never beat you"
"I do know, Riven, don't worry about it"
"I love you, Musa"
My heart skipped a few beats, even if it was over the phone, that was the most magical moment of my life, "I-I love you too, Riven!" at this moment I was overwhelmed, tomorrow I could officially be with him. The one I love and who truly loves me back! Let's just hope everything will work out, I'm just scared something bad will happen...
"I gotta go, but I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Alright Riven, I love you"
"Love you too, bye"
"Bye!" oh he was amazing!
The Next Day (Stella's P.O.V)
The next day, we arrived at school and me and Musa smiled at each other that devious smirk, though when I looked away, my facial expressions changed to worried. This afternoon we were going to play laser tag with the gang, even Sky and Bloom. Yes, laser tag is our plan, but I'm terrified something horrible will happen.
"Hey Stella, I'm honestly scared, what about you?" Musa whispered in my ear as we walked down the hall to first period
"Yeah, me too! I just can't think straight..."
"Me neither, but they have their minds on this plan, and they won't stop"
"We should of came up with something that won't risk their lives, Musa!"
"I know, Stel, but they won't stop!"
"They have to Musa! I can't stand this! They have to!" I began to scream, and all eyes are turned on me
"Stella! They won't!" tears started to stream down both of our faces, "They won't..." just then, Brandon and Riven comforted us.
"Brandon! You have to stop this..." I was being overdramatic, but I was a wreck. They need to be safe in our arms too.
"Stella, you know we can't" he answered calmly, and I wrapped my arms around his neck
"Yes you can..."
"I can't be without you"
"What if something goes wrong, I couldn't live without you!"
"Just don't worry, we know this plan inside and out" I stayed silent, hugging him, but I could hear Musa and Riven, which ruined the moment
"Riven we can decide on another plan, or something, but this one just isn't safe!"
"Musa, you just have to trust us!"
"I do, but what if-"
"That's not trusting me..."
"But you won't know what could happen!"
"It's just like any other day, we'll come out alive"
"Okay..." she so wasn't convinced, and neither was I
Later on, we were sitting at the lunch table in dead silence:
me, Musa, Brandon, Riven, Flora, Helia, Tecna, Timmy, Aisha, Nabu, Sky, and Bloom. We still haven't spoken a word to Bloom and Sky since yesterday, and their faces were still swollen, which was pretty freaking hilarious in my book!
I could only twirl my hair, I do that when I was nervous. This is the first and only time I will ever say this, I actually want school to go on forever at this point. Me and Musa didn't touch our food, we could only stare at it until lunch was over.
Two more hours left until the plan
It was time to leave... crap. My heart was beating like a drum during it's solo... why can't they wait for a different plan! We were taking my closest friends and their boyfriends, Musa, Riven, Flora, and Helia, while Sky took everyone else in his red truck. Knowing he had a red truck made me giggle, I hope he doesn't think he's redneck or something, because honestly, that'd be pretty sad!
"Brandon, you can drive" I handed him the keys to my Mercedes
"Why?"
"Because I can't stop shaking, just don't crash my baby!"
"I'll try not too" he rolled his eyes and sat in the driver's seat, I was sitting right next to him in the passenger's seat. Musa, Riven, Flora and Helia sat in the back. I only had three seats back there, so Flora sat in Helia's lap. Aw, I know!
I took a deep breath along with Musa, who was squeezing Riven's hand. Again, dead silence has struck out between us. Right now mine and Musa's dads think we're going shopping for dresses with the girls. I hated to lie, but this was the only way as the boys put it.
Brandon took a right turn onto a quiet road that most country people lived, such beauty was down this road. Pulling up to the busier roads where all the stores we located, we were stopped at a red light on the intersection when Brandon had to make fun of my car, "Stella you really need a new car for me to drive or something! Cruising around in your bedazzled Mercedes is pretty embarrassing!" I giggled, but I noticed some idiot in the rearview mirror, swerving the all over both lanes of the road.
"Brandon!" I gasped as the stupid drunk was coming our way
"Oh my gosh!"
A/N Oh snap! What's gonna happen now? Will the drunk hit them? What about their other plan? Uh oh, if they get hit, Stella's father will blame Brandon for his driving and things could just get worse! Sorry I didn't upload yesterday, had a lot of things on my mind, but anyways tell me what you think! Give me some suggestions and sorry if I don't answer to all of them. Keep the comments coming! You guys are the best, so stay tuned, because things are just getting started!
