*Stella
"Fine. Stella... I'm in love with you." I stopped in my tracks, shocked. I didn't turn to face him though. I couldn't.
"What?" I said quietly. He heard me though.. I heard what he had said. Very clearly. But there was just the slightest bit of hope that I was wrong.
"I know that you're probably in a state of shock right now but I-" He started off but I quickly cut him off,
"No kidding." I said coldly as I turned and looked at him. He had a depressed and guilty look on his face.
"Stella, I-" Once again he had tried to speak but I cut in.
"No. No y-you can't just say that to me. Not now." I was on the verge of crying but was able to hold it in. My voice was shaky and sounded as though there was a lot of sadness in it.
"Then when?" He asked me. I couldn't answer his question with a definite question as I wasn't sure what would happen in the future.
"I don't know Chad. Maybe in a few days time, maybe next year, maybe never... I can't tell when I'm actually going to feel the same way about you." Was my reply.
"But why?" He asked.
"Because... things aren't always what you'll hope it'll be. Things have moved on." I answered.
'"Would one of those things be you?" He asked quietly.
As yet... I'm not sure." I said honestly.
"What does that mean?" He asked me, confused. I had no choice but to tell him.
"Connor wants me to be his girlfriend, ok?" His eyes widened.
"Already?" He asked me.
"Already." I said.
"Well, what are you going to do?" He asked me curiously. There was a long pause.
"I said no at first but..." I started off and sighed, "I'm so sorry. I-I've got to go." I said hesitantly before running to his car and grabbing my school bag. I then started running up the hill to the road. I could hear Chad calling out to me from behind but I just ignored him and waved out to a taxi. I checked to see whether my purse was still in my school bag and luckily, it was.
*Sandy
I laughed. Josh was with me and my family and he just cracked a joke. One of the greatest things about him... his humor. It's been nearly four whole months that we've been together. Four months of bliss. There was a knock at the door. I rose a little bit from the couch but Josh gestured me to sit back down.
"I've got it." He smiled before leaving. Yet another great thing about him... he's a complete gentlemen. And my parents adore him. It may sound like a fantasy or whatever... but, seriously, my man is perfect.
*Josh
I loved being with Sandy and even her family. They were so easily to get along with. I had left though to get the door after a knock was heard by us. I walked over to the door after looking back at Sandy with a smile. She couldn't see me though. She was my everything.
Grabbing onto the door handle, I twisted it and opened it to see a girl standing out the front with her back faced towards me. She turned around and I could see that it was Stella. She had looked somewhat... confused yet frustrated.
"Hey Josh." She managed to smile.
"Hey Stella. What's wrong?" I asked her worriedly.
"Um.. nothing, nothing. I was just wondering if I could talk to Sandy... but, I see I'm disturbing so I'll Just head out." She turned to leave but I called out to Sandy before she could. She stopped and turned to me with a smirk on her face. It wasn't long until Sandy was outside with us.
"Hey Stella!" She smiled before giving Stella a hug. I cleared my throat and said,
"I'm just going to go check on your parents." (I said this to Sandy of course.) They both nodded with a smile and I left.
*Stella
"So honey... what happened?" Sandy asked me as we swung on the swings out the back of her house in the big yard.
"I know why Chad's been playing up lately." I stated.
"Ok. So why?" She asked me. I took a deep breath before answering her question.
"He-uh, he.. He said that he.." I started off and then ended with a sigh. Sandy stopped her swing from moving by bringing her feet to a halt on the ground.
"What?" She asked me quietly.
"He said that he's in love with me." I finally managed to say without hesitating. She nodded.
"I see." I see? Was that all that her reaction had come down to?!
"What do you mean I see?" I said, pretty frustrated.
"You're really not that blind are you Stella?" Sandy asked with an expression on her face that was aiming to make me feel stupid.
I had a confused look on my face. Her expression worked.
"Ugh, Stella. Isn't it obvious?" She asked me rolling her eyes. I shrugged.
"Ok, well... you guys have known each other since you were both four, most likely the reason why he avoided you at school 'cause of you and Connor, he has photos of you on his wall, he lives next to you... must I go on?" She listed. Shit. She was right. All the signs were there. She was also right about me being blind. I sighed.
I was able to let out all that I was feeling to Sandy (as always) and she responded with reasonable answers and advice. After a while I told her that it was best if I left so she could go back and be with Josh.
I caught a taxi. Along the way home, I stared out the window like how they do on movies and was full of wonder... confusing wonder. Why now? Of all the times to feel this way... he chose now. The time where I had found companionship and a friendship with someone else. I mean, I said no to be in a relationship with Connor... but, for Chad's sake. Ugh, It's about time I thought about myself in making such a decision. I know that it may sound selfish... but, that's how I saw it, as well as Sandy... it's not about Chad. It's about how I feel and what I am able to make out of it. I can't keep putting myself in grief and stress when it comes to Chad. I ought to express how I feel.
"Excuse me. So very sorry, but I would like to change my destination." I told the taxi driver at the front. He seemed to have sighed but realized he was getting paid for it and said,
"Sure thing. Where to?"
"12th Brooklyn lane please." Connor's address.
*Connor
Twenty notifications. Mostly from this chick named Alison. She's obsessed with me. I think I'll delete her as my friend from Facebook. Although, the attention does seem pretty funny. I mean, isn't it hilarious when a girls pushes a bit too far when trying to get a guy's attention? Especially Alison. She's taken heaps of photos of herself with loads of make-up on and half tops... she tagged me in them and made the caption my initials and put a heart next to them. Desperate much?
Knock knock.
There was someone at the door, so I logged myself out of Facebook, got up out of the wheeled chair and went to the door. I wasn't expecting any pals over or anything. I don't think my mum was either. Yep, it's just me and my mum. My dad left us when I was just a young kid. The bastard. Since then, I never tried to be anything like the stuff he told me to be... "Be a good young man. Stay on the safe side. If you are able to do this... you've conquered over a bad life." Please. Like as if he was a good man. He left us on a strand.
I opened the door wondering as to who was at my front door. It was Stella.
"Stella." I said shocked. Shocked to the fact that she had the audacity to come here after what she had done to me. "What are you-" I was just about to finish asking her what she was doing at my house coldly, but before I could, she grabbed onto the neck of my shirt and pulled me down to a rushed, yet great kiss. I got greedy and craved her lips even more. It was a bit rough, but isn't that sexy? She parted from me and I smirked.
"Couldn't resist me?" She ignored me and had a face of determination.
"I shouldn't have turned your offer down... I want to be your girlfriend."
