Stella was awake that same night when Zach and Madison were in the resort all together. She was busy thinking what had she actually done that Zach... her head hurts.
Everytime she thinks of him, her head starts aching like someone is crushing it with bulldozer.
She couldn't sleep.
She tried really hard to not to cry.
Tried to be stronger.
But as soon as she remembered all their time together, she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
"I was happy and..and why'd he take my happiness away?" Stella said to herself.
She literally started watching some of their photos. Starting from that Nick's birthday, bed of roses, cycling and everything. There are plenty of pictures of their.
Stella smiled while crying. Again and again. When she saw their photos it didn't feel like they had broken up.
She was being happy again.
'By counting on the lies.'
Her brain reminded.
All of a sudden she got pissed off by her own brain and threw away the box which was full of pictures of them.
"I don't need anyone." she said while wiping away her tears.
"You're strong enough to live without him... without anybody!" she said while pointing herself in the mirror.
She washed her face with cold n clean water to freshen up her mood.
Well it only made her face cool. Her body is still burning in the flames of anger.
"So, let me get a shower." She said.
She took the towel and turned on the music of course!
"Memories" by maroon 5 is playing.
She's slowly dancing on her own, under the shower.
♪ Everybody hurt sometimes
Everybody hurt someday ay ay
But everything's gonna be alright
Go and raise a glass and say ay -
Heres to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish -they were here
But they're not. Cause the drinks bring
back all the memories,
Of everything we've been through.
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
Cause the drinks bring back all the
memories....
And the memories bring back,
Memories bring back YOU.
There's a time that I remember
When I didn't know no pain.
When I believed in forever
And everything would stay the same. ♪ Stella was singing her favorite part all along. And she felt those lyrics.
She was becoming insane of thinking about Zach... Just one damn question in her mind, "Why? Why me?"
"I trusted him with everything! Literally everything! And he.... " She sighs.
And to stop herself from getting angry she started dancing slowly again.
Humming the songs softly.
Good for her it was a playlist she made that can make her feel at least a little bit happy. Almost after 1 hour of singing and dancing competition with herself in the washroom, she cared to show up her face to the world.
Getting dressed in nighty was the first thing she did, then ran to downstairs.
[I'm damn hungry.]
When she saw all the lights were off, she wondered why.
Checked their room, their peacefully sleeping. "Aww my two babies..." Stella said as they were looking really cute as they were literally hugging together while sleeping.
"But why are they sleeping at this time." she asked herself.
She looked at the table clock and her mind totally blew off.
It was 2 o'clock in the morning.
"What!? How?" she asked herself again.
"Oh God, I didn't understand when the time passed by so... fast." Saying so she opened the refrigerator and took our the ice-cream box they had for almost a week and nobody's eating them.
"Pitiful ice-cream..I feel so sorry for you. But you're welcome as I'm gonna eat you up right this moment." She said those while taking a spoon and then she started going upstairs, smiling like a little kid who got a present of what she wanted.
Sat on the bed, looking outside the window, the stars and moon is peeking through it. "Mmm, yummy yummy. You taste so delicious. Wonder why they haven't taste you yet? Good for me! So that I can enjoy you fully Hahaha..." Stella talked to herself.
Suddenly she started remembering about having ice-cream with Zach and then.....Ron. She felt like throwing away the box too but she didn't as she was thankful that she got the opportunity to eat such a tasty ice-cream. The butterscotch flavor, the best.
"Can't he just leave my head for one damn minute!? I mean what is he doing inside my head still...I want to feel the peace for one damn minute...p- please?" Stella stuttered. She talked to the moon as if she was talking to Zach. She started sobbing. Tried her best not to have another mental breakdown.
But it is so hard to lie to yourself, you know? She tried to tell herself that she is alright, she doesn't care but eventually her brain refuses to listen to her lies.
"Oh how I wish, I could f**king control my emotions! Aaaaaaaaa!!!" Stella shouted into their pillow.
This crying and sobbing never stops, specially when it comes to her turn.
She fell asleep crying and hugging the pillow. She felt as if someone was watching her while she was sleeping. So she slowly woke up. And turned on the lights.
"Hello?"
She asked as she was sure that someone was sitting on the couch. She slowly went closer and touched the couch. Traced her fingers on it to figure out if what she felt was real or not.
"F**k!" Her heart jumped as she felt someone just hold her neck. She turned around and saw none.
"What the hell is happening man?" she kept looking herself at the mirror. To figure out if someone is actually present here except for her.
A cracking sound came from behind and she turned around to see but saw nothing again. "Is anybody there? show yourself coward!" she shouted and suddenly someone held her mouth.
"Shh, don't shout my lady." He said.
Stella couldn't believe her eyes.
"Zach, wait...how did you..?"
"I used the ladder that you hide behind your garage." Zach cut her off.
Stella couldn't help the urge to kiss him in the lips and slap him hard on the face.
"Ouch." Zach said as she slapped first.
"Mmm.." He moaned inside her mouth when she kisses him desperately.
