That night, Stella didn't called Zach anymore. She thought- maybe he has just switched off his phone cebause he doesn't wanna talk to her. He wants to be alone maybe.
She lies down on the bed, looking at the ceiling, sea of tears starts dropping from her eyes and Stella doesn't know why. This time these tears had a different link to something. She couldn't just stop crying so she let it all out, just like that. And while crying she became asleep.
At morning, she woke up early somehow. The first thing she does was try reaching Zach but to no avail. He's phone is still switched off but little did she know the phone got broken and Zach is still fainted.
She got worried and also sad, again. At least she hoped this time she'd get to him. But when it didn't happen she just left her phone on the bed and went downstairs.
Her stomach is growling. She hadn't any dinner last night. She opened the refrigerator took out an egg and started to make an omelette.
[Where's the bread?] as if her mind just spoke to her.
'Where is it?' She asked her mind this time. She looked for it everywhere after making the omelette but where the hell was it?
She took the car and sneaked out for shopping after realizing there was no bread in their home.
She grabbed a bottle of orange juice and two packets of bread.
"Oh well milk sounds great!" she told herself. No one was there except Stella, some stuffs and the cashier.
"Good morning. So early today ma'am?" The cashier smiled at her with a greeting. It was a boy named Billy just a little older than Stella. Maybe two or three months older.
She knew him since they were children.
"Yeah, morning. We just run out of bread and milk...also my favorite orange juice, there's nothing in the refrigerator but I'm so...hungry can't wait for my mum to get up and then get groceries. It would be lunch time by then. So I came instead. My mum wakes up late, you know that right?" she chuckles and so did he. "Here's your groceries. And no need to pay, consider that it's on me today."
Stella likes him just cebause the way he becomes nice to her. She literally hasn't seen anyone so gentle and loving like Billy.
Now if we excuse them, she has to start a war with Billy with the payment. War is about Stella needs him to keep the money but he won't, so Stella force him by opening up and keeping the money in the the drawer where they keep the money. But Billy gives it back way more faster that she gave in and She tries so hard but Billy won.
Stella pouts in a way that could make him believe her childish part is cutely angry.
"Come on Stella, I could do this all day. And you haven't had breakfast yet, how'd you find the energy to win. Do this... go home take your breakfast and come again another day." he laughed while saying that.
Stella started laughing as well.
Soon more customers came and Stella left feeling defeated.
"Next time I'd just give the money and run away, you'll see Billy." she told it while getting out and Billy just chuckled slightly at Stella but in front of another customer.
Which was really cute - Stella thought to herself.
Something hit her mind now. She didn't know what it was but soon when she found out she hurried to the car and started driving really fast.
She is heading opposite from her home.
Of course it was about Zach.
Why did he cut the call suddenly last night and Why didn't he called me back after that? also,why didn't he turned his phone on this morning, why had he switched his phone off for this long. So many questions are running through her mind.
She finally reached that lake. Locking the car she went inside like a thief first, so that no one sees this place and that she's here. After passing through the bushes she started running to the front door.
"It's locked bloody hell!"
She knocked the door so hard that her hands feel achy. 'What should I do now.' she thought while looking for something to break the door with.
"Zach! Are you in there?"
No response.
But she just tried to peek from the window from the back of the house, that is of the bedroom. The fan was on so the curtains were blowing with the air slowly and after trying so hard to see what's going on inside she saw someone lying on the floor.
"Zach!!! "
She shouted and ran back to the front door. Looks like she's gonna break it this time.
