Stella's Pov
Next morning
I woke up with Chloe by my side. She was sleeping like a baby. I didn't realized that I was staring at her for too long. I got up and wrote a note for Chloe. So when she gets up she'll know that I left. As I was leaving her house I meet Alice at the door. Maybe she just returned home from some party.
"Hey" I greeted.
"What's up, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Oh, I was here to meet Chloe and she requested me to spend the night, so I did"
"So, you guys are dating? I mean I heard rumor about Chloe cheated on Leah and everything. But is it actually true?" She was asking so many questions together and It's normal, she was curious.
"We are not dating" I replied honestly.
"But do you love her?"
"Maybe"
"Alright then I support you two"
"Thanks Alice, you're a good friend" I smiled at her.
"No problem"
"I have to go now, see you at school" I waved her bye.
Time skip: at school

I was nervous today because I am going to do something that I have never done before. I'm going to propose Chloe and ask her to be my girlfriend. Recently my feelings for her was getting stronger and I realized that I really love her. I wanted to be there for her, protect her and fix the mess that I created.
I took a deep breath and I was impatiently waiting for Chloe. Because I wrote in the letter that I wanted to tell her something very important and requested her to meet me. I saw her coming and my face lightens up.
"Hey" She greeted shyly.
"Thanks for coming" I thanked her for keeping my request.
"No problem, you wanted to tell me something. What is it?" She asked.
"Chloe," I hold her hands and looked her into the eyes "I know this is not the perfect place for expressing my feelings for you but I just can't wait anymore, I can't change the past and the things, that happened but I promise you I'll try to make you happy. I want to make you the happiest person. I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?" I finally asked her out.
By the looks on her face, I was pretty sure that she was totally in shock. I closed my eyes and waited for her reply.
"Yes" She happily said. I opened my eyes to look at her. And hugged her tightly.
"I love you" I can now say those words to her without worrying about anything.

After Stella proposed me, I felt my heart beat go faster. I was shocked, although I saw this coming. I knew I had to move on. I had to move on from Leah. Because after what she did to me she don't deserve me, she doesn't deserve my love. I choose to date Stella because she makes me feel some type of way. I could see the care in her eyes for me. She was the last person who really cares for me. Yes, she bullied me and tried to make my life a living hell but people change right? I can already see the changes in her.
"I love you too" I confessed my love to her and she hugged me once again.

Chloe's Pov
I was waiting for Stella in the parking lot. Wondering what took her so long. Suddenly I saw Leah was also waiting for someone, maybe her friends? I thought it would be weird, if we just stood there quietly, acting like strangers. So I decided to break the silence.
"Hey" I addressed the girl I used to love. She looked at me with a annoyed expression on her face.
"Wow, talker aren't you? What the fuck do you want?"
"I am just waiting for Stella"
"Of course you are. Are you fucking her too?" I widen my eyes at the bluntness.
"What?"
"You heard me"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Well, you have already done that, while we were dating. Which is a fucking cheating. Have you ever heard of it?" Leah asked sarcastically, yet angrily and step closer in front of me.
"Of course, you bring that up everytime you see me" I smiled at Leah, which got on her nerves.
"Of course, you fuck her everytime you see her"
"I am not fucking her" I exclaimed, she now started to pissing me off.
"I bet you enjoyed fucking her" Leah said and lightly pushed me.
"I didn't" I defended myself, while trying to control my temper.
"So you weren't moaning her name? Huh?" Leah spat in my face and pushed me again.
"No" I said through gritted teeth.
"You have never even fucking loved me! It was all just a huge fucking lie! You are a liar!" Leah yelled and pushed me once again, which was the last straw.
"I loved you with all my heart!" I shouted and clenched my fists, I would add something but I noticed that Stella is also there, standing next to the duo.
"Then why did you cheat on me?" Leah raised her voice once again and was fumming.
At this moment I could tell the truth, and this time Leah might actually listen to me, but I didn't want to, I didn't want to create a scene here right now. I was facing Stella because I didn't want to look into Leah's eyes.
"I am not explaining you anything. Just let it be"
"You are pathetic!" Leah yelled and pushed me again.
"Leah" Stella warned Leah.
"Don't" I said to Stella, I didn't want her to be part of this, not right now.
"Admit it! Admit that you just wanted to hurt me!"
"I have never wanted to hurt you" I exclaimed and looked Leah straight into eyes.
"You always lie!" Leah slapped me for the first time today. I wasn't even surprised, I got used to it but Stella didn't.
"Leah, stop" Stella yelled at her.
"Shut up!" Leah growled at Stella.
"Stella, go, leave. Here are the keys to my apartment I will meet you there" I said while handed Stella my keys. Stella trusted me, so she left.
"And you, don't talk to her like that" I scolded Leah.
"Or what? You will cheat on me with her again?"
"We aren't together, so I can't cheat on you" I spat right into Leah's face.
"You know what I meant" Leah said and grabbed me by my collar. Our faces were basically touching, we could feel each other's breaths.
"Maybe I would" I slowly said, provokingly.
Leah smashed her lips on mines, she held me close by my collar. I was beyond surprised and pushed her away "What the fuck?"
"Leah I can't" Leah slapped me once again and left.
-------------------------------------
I went to my apartment right after that unexpected kiss from Leah, I noticed that Stella was sitting on couch, looking impatient and worried as never.
"Are you okay?" Stella asked immediately, when she saw me.
"I am fine, really" I sat next to her.
"Why didn't you tell her the truth?" She was confused but that's not surprising. I had the chance and she thought I would do it.
"I didn't want you two to get into a fight once again. I remember the last time, about a year ago, when you had a fight with Leah because you thought Leah was flirting with your girlfriend but then you realized that Leah never flirted with her. The girl was lying and tried to break your friendship and she succeeded. Because since then you guys haven't talked to each other, " I said honestly.
"Yeah, that was an ugly fight"
"Yeah, hmm, you want me to forgive you right?" I asked and turned my gaze at her.
"Yes" Stella answered quickly.
"Great, then you will gladly keep my request, right?"
"Sure" By this time she was kinda scared, what would it be.
"You need to tell Leah yourself about what actually happened" She raised her eyebrows and looked at me.
"Look, I forgive you anyway but she needs to know the truth and she needs to hear it from you. I tried to explain it to her but she won't believe a word I would say"
"I was pretty rough with her, when the last time we fought and I don't think she'll take it as easily. She'll just get even worse"
"She would never hurt you, look you can do it tomorrow, next week, I don't care and if you think the situation is getting out of hand, just text me and I will be right beside you" I said and put my hand on her and gently squeezed it.
"Fine" She finally agreed.
