Chapter-02

last update Last Updated: 2020-11-30 21:10:55

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. Iam 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.

    I got frustrated after a minute and was ready to leave home. At the time, a car came by and stopped right in front of me.“Need a ride?” Madelaine’s face popped up in the car.“You didn’t wonder why I am alone here” I bit my nails in anger when Iam sitting next to her. “Explain” she opened the door. I sat next to her and kept being silent. I don’t want to talk about that.“So,” she started.“So, the thing is I met a boy who is looking so mysteriously handsome.” the word handsome got out of my mouth without thinking.“He’s handsome. I should definitely hear the story. Go on and on,” she smiled broadly while taking a turn in the road.“Okay, one day I was unaware while walking on the road and he saved me before a car hit me and he went without hearing me say thanks. Today he showed up again. We talked for a while and some thief entered bash Cafe. He threatened everyone, but Chris mov

    “Yes, we did it,” I yelled when the car took off. My things are still in my home but I don’t want to go back. At least I can be happy living here with Madelaine.“Thanks, Maddy” I let out a deep breath. “Anything for my friend,” she smiled. We reached her home, and she allotted me a room and I don’t think of any other things. If I think about my parent’s issue, I will surely be sick by the next day. I just slept to forget all my sorrows.The next day, I rushed to the academy as I slept for more hours. “Don’t you want breakfast?” Maddy shouted behind me. She’s not only good at inventions but also at cooking? A multi-talented person. “No, I will buy something. Bye, see you later and I will take your car.” I ran into her car and reached the academy way sooner than I expected. I am glad to know how to drive a car. All thanks to Maddy again. Today I felt so relieved.“Hey” I knocked hazel on her shoulder all of a sudden.”

    “One sec” I stopped him. I looked at him, got frozen.“Today there’s a party. I will tell you about the venue. Will you come?”“Sure, I will come for you.” For me? I didn’t expect this answer.After an hour I met hazel at a shop. “Is that boy coming?”“Yes, yes, thousand times yes. Can we go to another topic?”“Okay, sorry. So, can we take some dress?” I nodded and entered the shop. There are many nice outfits but I don’t think it suits me. Most of them are short. I never wore anything like that.“Are you going to take this or not?” she pointed her hand at a glittery black dress that will come above my knees?“Um... I am looking for some cosy dress”“Are you having a girls’ night? Take this please.” I looked at it and I think I can give it a try. We exited the shop and went straight to the party. I hope he will come. I searched to see him but I could only se

    Maddy saw me crying and running like a crazy girl. “What happened again?” she asked with sympathy, but I ignored her and ran straight into our professor. If Chris can’t answer it, then Alaric should tell me whether or not he wanted to tell. I am pissed off by Chris. He is an unpredictable man and I don’t know why I can’t ignore him. I want to know about him. I ignored me three times since I met him.I grabbed the professor’s shirt collar without being feared of him and without thinking of any consequences. “What the hell you did to Chris. Why did you hurt him? “ I shouted in front of everyone.“It’s not a place to talk about this and why are you even caring about him?” he spoke silently, which only be heard by me with an uncomfortable look.“No, I need the answers. I saw him. He looked different. I..I mean he is not injured, but I saw something different about him. It’s like some robotic parts in his hands,” I

    “From the outer space,” he added.“What? you got to be kidding me. I came here for the truth, not to hear something crazy,” I laughed off. I believe in cyborgs and outer space, but I can’t go around everywhere and trust whatever anyone tells.“I am telling the truth and I trusted you, only you,” he shouted and everyone turned to our side. I think he’s serious. I got nervous. “Okay Chris, calm down. I am sorry. I think you need to explain more,” I talked silently.“I said the truth. That’s all.”“That’s all. That’s all you are hiding. Then what’s your connection between professors. Why do you have a fight? Why he dies?”“I have nothing to do with his death. He knows I am not from here and he sees me suspiciously because I already told him I have a mission to finish and it is…” I stopped him.“Confidential. You can’t share. I know that. So, you met up with an accident and become a cy

    I attended the call “Stella, I need you at our lab. Nothing serious but need some help.”I hesitated for a minute. “Yeah, sure coming” I cut the call, and he is standing next to me.“who’s that?” Chris asked.“That’s my friend. I should go now,” I said without looking back.“Mind if I join you”“Why... I mean okay”“Thanks, and other things never talk about me to anyone.” he sounded serious but not threatening.He locked the room, and we reached her house after some minutes. I told the guards that he’s my friend and they let him go inside.“What’s going on, Maddy?”She looked annoyed. “Why you got him here?”“He said, he want to accompany. Is that a problem?”“No but I don’t think I can trust him” she was talking, but he went inside without an invitation. Bella was struggling with some work and he walked towards her.

    I opened my eyes and saw Maddy going somewhere out.“Hey, where are you leaving”“I am...” she stammered and stood still. I got up from my bed, confused.“Are you angry that I got Chris here or kissed him? And are you keeping secrets because of who he is. Did you lose your trust in me?” I suddenly spoke about all this.“I didn’t know you kissed him and well, I was about to go to LAPD without your help because you don’t care about that. You should have come yesterday, but you went to see Chris so...” she trailed off.“Yeah, I understand. You go on your own. Fine. Good.”Hey. don’t be mad at me. I thought you were not interested in solving this?” She spoke calmly.“Who said, I am not? I really want to know about that. I am so confused right now” She said nothing and hugged me. “I understand you. trust me. I won’t try to leave you again.”“And also, I don’t see

    We walked holding hands together and reached the crumbled looking house and got inside a splendid room.“So, you want to change your clothes?” he took one of his shirts and gave it to me. I hesitated and went inside the bathroom. I am embarrassed about walking out of the room in his shirt, which is above my knees. I stepped out, and he tried not to see me. I sat next to him in bed.“I was just thinking maybe we can take a break like going to a theme park or something tomorrow.”“Really, I never thought you would ask something like that. I’d love to,” he grinned. “I never enjoyed it and I want it to be with you.”“Why me?” these words escaped my mouth.“I don’t know. You make me feel something. I never helped anyone or tried to be nice to others. That’s not who I am. But now I am acting differently when it comes to you.”“Then who you have been before? If not a good person…”

I really should leave now. I only got 20 minutes to go back”“I know that. Goodbye Chris. I love you. You are everything to me. My love for you will always stay the same even when you are not with me.” she squeezed my hands and cried after a long time.“Even though we tried hard, I can’t believe it ended up like this. I love you, Stella, forever. This won’t be the end. I will not give up,” I kissed her softly for one time.“This short time feels long, Chris,” she smiled and cried at the same time. Then she kissed me harder.“Chris, it’s getting late,” Malcolm entered the room.“Go,” she said, trying to control her tears, which is not stopping.“Goodbye, Stella,” I said, not

    “If she didn’t wake up Iam going to kill you all.” Chris’s voice rang in my ears. The Pain in my body doesn’t hurt me as it did before. Slowly, I started to remember everything.“She’s up,” Malcolm says, watching me.“Stella, how are you feeling?” Chris held my hands and sat next to me in the hospital bed. I don’t expect there will be hospitals in this world.“Iam feeling better,”“Cool, now can we ask about her opinion,” the president’s wife started. I am not aware of her presence.“About what?” I panicked,“I told you everything. You can’t disturb her, Annabeth,” Chris snapped at her.“Do I have to give you a reminder to give me respect?”“I can’t give it unless you stop this,”“Everything is well-perfectly planned.

I will go against the whole universe to be with her. She’s special to me. I can’t live my life after living for many centuries without a purpose. My only thought is to torture, torment someone’s life. Now I can only feel the pain of separating them from their family. Whenever Stella is away from me or she’s in the problem, I can’t able to bear it. Iam so vulnerable when it comes to her. Usually, I have never been a weak person. I can kill anyone if they tried to kill me. When Stella aims her gun at me, I didn’t try anything. It’s like I accepted to die in her hands if that’s her wish. But it isn’t. She loves me truly.

Actually, I was thinking I could stay here tonight." I started.“If you say so, I and Alex are leaving now,” she uttered and walked outside the door. I waved at her and looked at Chris and Malcolm.“Or you two going to leave?” I asked, hoping they would say no.“Yes, we should go,” Malcolm responded immediately.“Maybe I will call Stephanie,” Chris called her and a holograph appeared within minutes.“Malcolm,” she stammered in shock.“Iam back, Steph,” he smiled.“I can’t believe it.

    We dashed through the steps of the staircase to the spaceship. We are going inside where we fixed the bomb. It’s like trapping ourselves to death.“Chris.” I shouted. This place is breath-taking, but it’s soon going to burst. A shiver ran down my spine thinking about it.“Stella, move,” Malcolm yelled and pushed me. I hit the metal floor. I got hit strongly in my jaw. The pain vibrated all over my face. I glanced to see a damaged android fallen from above.“You would have killed her,” a voice echoed from above. A staircase inside the spaceship. “It’s not on purpose,” Alaric said, looking pitifully at me.“Stella. We only have 10 minutes,” Malcolm got panicked.“Yes, we should get both of them down,” I suggested.“Alaric, I don’t want to fight with you. Iam going to compromise with you.
