Chapter 17

-Jordan- (before seeing Stella)

The whole time I sat at my bed in shook. Where the hell is Stella? I watch the tv as Hailey continues with the interview with only Marie.

"So, unfortunately Stella wasn't able to join us today, what reason do you think that Is Marie?" She turns her head addressing Marie.

"Um-" I watch carefully as Marie begins to stutter for an answer, almost not wanting to even say anything. "Why the fuck is she stuttering" i whisper yell.

What the hell could've happened.

Before I can even question my own thoughts, Hailey begins again.

"Well maybe, could you say she didn't come today because she felt guilty of killing golden boy. Or maybe it's how she's afraid of her own self and capability's " Hailey says with a smirk gaining on her face.

I know she didn't  just say that about her. To hell with that.

I spring myself out of bed and begin to have determination to give her a peace of my mind.

First it's so wrong, she would do that when Stella isn't even there to defend herself especially when her 'best friend' isn't doing an amazing job at defending her.

Second, that's such an invasion of privacy. I'm not about to stand around and see her talk shit about my girl.

I make a beeline towards the dorm door, pumping with adrenaline.

But as I reach for the door, twisting it open.  The door opens from the other side, revealing Stella.

Normally Stella would be so bright and happy as she always is. But right now,

There is a rain cloud raining over her sunshine. And to hell to whoever made her this heartbroken.

I carefully step closer embracing her. Whispering words of comfort.

"It's okay sunshine."

"I got you"

All my life, the only thing I was worried and cared about was myself. Because I had to. I had to always be 'selfish' to survive and get where I am today.

But.

Seeing Stella like that. So broken. It's like my heart begin to quicken. And my thoughts became overwhelmed with thoughts of hatred. Because who in their right mind would hurt her this much.

But. For now.

All I could do is just comfort her, in the best way I can.

                                   ——

It's been almost 30minutes of just staying grounded on the floor outside of our dorm. Just trying to calm her sobs down.

Listening carefully, I can feel her breathing starting to settle.

"Good. That's it, You got it sunshine." I say carefully brushing up and down her back in comfort. 

"Sunshine if you are okay to move, I think we should move inside the dorm to have more privacy if you are comfortable too"

I carefully lift her back up securing her in my arms. Bringing her slowly back into our dorm.

While I set her on my bed on the other side of the room. I quickly grab any kinds of tissues and water for her. Because I know from what I guess a whole lot of running that she would be tired. So hopefully this will help.

"Here sunshine." I pass the bottle towards her to which she looks up towards me finally. But her eyes. Just her eyes, they were always filled with so much sunshine.

But now, in this moment it's like that had all changed.

"This may sound like a stupid question but are you okay?"

Not even spearing any second, Stella does one shake of her head, indicating no.

————

And wow did that lead to some serious trauma dumping, but throughout the whole night I was there. Whether to listen or just comfort her with words or actions. I was there and from that moment on I made a promise to myself and Stella.

That all be there for her.

Always.
