Chapter2

#Chapter2

I felt like a lost child wandering in the streets as soon as he left me. I walked back home to find that my parents have finally stopped fighting, but my house was a disaster. My eyes suddenly caught the sight of something familiar.

/"It’s my telescope, how can you break it, mom?/" I shouted at her.

/"Sorry,/" she said, simply sitting at the dining table alone.

/"No, you are feeling sorry. I worked so hard to make it but you broke it just like that./" It’s a handmade one. It may not be the biggest invention or something. Whatever it is, she can’t break her daughter’s work like this.

/"I said sorry. What do you expect from me other than that?/" she shouted at me. I am the one who should shout at her. But I am feeling like I wanted to cry. I rushed to my room and locked it and took the broken pieces of it. /"I don’t think I can fix it,/" I murmured. I left it there and opened the windows. I kept staring outside. I wanted to see the best view of the sky. I wanted to explore the universe. My parents never encouraged or stood by my side. I let out my tears and something goes in a flash. I don’t know what is it? My eyes went blank for a second and slept.

/"Open the door, Stella. You should go to the academy,/" my mom yelled from outside. /"OH no, I am late. It’s already nine,/" I fell asleep near the window the whole night.

I got ready as fast as I can’t utter a single word to my mom.

/"Hey, Stella, sorry I was angry at you yesterday,/" Adam said when I reached the academy.

/"That’s fine,/" I said without seeing his face. /"I am thinking of having a party at my home tonight. If you are free, can you come?/"

/"I will think,/"

/"Hey, please see me. Are you mad at me?/" He pleaded. He never does something like this without a need.

/"No./" I turned to see him, but he leaned to kiss me.

/"No, leave me alone. I am not in a good mood,/" I said, breaking the kiss. I can’t even remember the last time he kissed me, feeling the love for me. Maybe there are no memories like that.

/"Why you are acting so stupid?/" He snapped.

/"What? I am dealing with many problems right now and I know you are never going to ask me or make me feel better./"

/"I will do that, that’s why we can have a party. If you have some money, we can make it the best one/"

/"Still, you are thinking about party and yourself,/" then something hit my mind.

/"You want money. Am I right?/"

/"No. I mean maybe, but we can enjoy the party because I thought of buying champagne and.../" I stopped him.

/"Okay, stop talking. Take it and leave me alone./" I gave him what we needed and left. I know he wouldn’t follow me to see if I was mad or not. Even though I expected him to do that. I sat at the table near hazel. /"Hey Stella, how are you doing?/" I just let out a sign and looked at her.

/"Something’s going on right?/"

/"Yeah./"

/"You can tell me whatever it is./"

/"I think so, but now I don’t feel like attending the class. I will talk with you later./"

/"Fine. Do whatever you want but I am here for you,/" she smiled at me and I returned the smile, left the table before the class started.

The first place I ever wanted to go right now is a place to eat or drink and sit alone. Well, time goes on.

I sat alone in a Bash Cafe where we can all have amazing food to eat. Bash is the owner and I am a regular customer. Today I just ordered a coffee and took my journal. I love writing diaries even so, nothing good happens in my life. I only write about complaining about something. So, I don’t even know why I am maintaining a journal.

/"Hey, mind if I join you?/" I heard someone’s voice. For a second, the voice is sexy as hell. I looked up to see the same boy who saved me.

/"Um ... yeah,/" I stuttered, seeing him again. Yesterday, I can’t able to see his looks. But he’s so beautiful with his blue shirt and matching jeans. A sunglass is hanging over his shirt.

/"Yesterday I can’t able to introduce myself. I am Christopher. Call me Chris/" He gave his seductive smile.

/"Okay, I am Stella. I was just wondering how you saved me and gone so quickly within a blink of an eye./"

/"Uh... I was in a hurry so I took a shortcut like jumping to another house. It seems crazy, but I was in a hurry./" he gave his boyish grin.

/"Oh, I see,/" I smiled at him. I don’t believe it.

/"Hmm... why are you glancing at the sky and getting lost in thoughts. You are so careless./" He tried to keep up the conversation with me.

/"To say the truth, I was looking at it so someone or something will take me from this earth to somewhere I can find peace./" I stupidly replied.

/"You sound.../"

/"Ridiculous. Well, everyone tells like that,/" I said before he finished talking.

/"No. I wasn’t saying that. Your imagination is really cool. I love it. But this earth is the best planet I ever visited./" His word sounds weird. Did I hear it wrong?

/"Excuse me, what do you mean ever visited?/" he ignored my question and called the server.

/"Do you have anything spicy here?/"

/"Um...like what?/"

/"Never mind, Do you have French fries?/"

/"Yes./"

/"I will bring it./" When the server left, he turned to me.

/"Then what’s that note? Any study stuffs./"

/"It’s my diary. I will write about myself and my daily life. But I don’t feel like writing it anymore/"

/"Why?/" he said without taking his eyes off me.

/"Cause nothing good happens in my life, so why should I have one. I want life to be happy, interesting with a little of passion, adventure, love which I never found./"

/"Maybe you will find it soon, so you should keep writing. Don’t give up,/" he spoke encouragingly.

/"I don’t think so,/" I laughed. But I think I can find some hope from his talk. Then the French fries arrived, and I started eating them. He only bought it for me. When it comes to food, I will forget everything.

/"You like it./"

/"I love it,/" I said without taking my eyes off the French fries.

/"You are beautiful,/" he said suddenly, and I was stunned for a moment and blushed. No thoughts of food because nobody told me I am beautiful. I mean Adam my boyfriend, he never said something like that.

/"Put your hands up,/" somebody interrupted.

/"Oh no, you got to be kidding me,/" I whispered to myself.

/"What’s happening?/" Chris asked me.

/"Robbery, a thief, and they are having a gun,/" I blurted with a terror expression. The owner bash raised his hand and did nothing. Others in the place are sitting like a statue.

/"Why the humans are like this?/" Chris snarled and got up from the table.

/"Hey, what are you doing?/" I whispered. The humans? Why is he telling the humans? He’s human too. Am I right? I asked myself.

/"Stay right there,/" the thief yelled at Chris in particular.

/"Whoa, no offence, but what do you want?/" he took one step forward.

/"I want money. Now you pathetic creature, stay in your place./"

/"What? me? pathetic creature,/" he smirked wickedly and took another step forward.

/"No Chris,/" I said under my breath and fell from the table half-balanced. There’s a bang sound at the moment. Did they shoot him? Noo. I looked up to see Chris holding the thief’s gun on his head.

/"How you got my gun?/" the thief said with a terrible shock on his face.

/"Now, go before I kill you,/" Chris said, looking straight through his eyes. The thief looked like he was hypnotized or something and left within seconds.

/"Boy, you need to go to the hospital. He shot you,/" the owner said.

/"No, I dodged the bullet. See, no injury,/" he said, turning towards the owner.

/"How you escaped it?/" I said, touching his chest in total shock. A shiver ran through me when I touched him. I removed my hand quickly. Before he could answer me, his phone rings.

/"Why are you taking so much time? Finish the task as fast as you can,/" someone shouted on the other side, it’s highly audible to my ears.

/"Sorry, coming,/" he replied with frustration.

/"I got to go,/" Chris said.

/"No, what’s the urgent?/" I hold on to his hands without a second thought.

/"Leave me, I should go now./" he left with a little bit of anger, and puff vanished. I am again standing alone in the entrance, seeing him leaving.
