She came out crying, While doctors went in checking on their patient.
"Bella what happened?!" My mom shouted.
"We were just talking and he... He.. " she cries.
"He did what?! Talk to me!" My mom said.
We were all panicking.
"He lost his breathe." She burst out crying.
"Oh my god!" I covered my mouth, shedding tears. Stephen pulled me into a hug to console me...
He's gone....
I cried so much as they dug his grave, saying prayers. I can't believe he's gone. This is all my fault. He said he didn't deserve a second life. How could he say that?!
Peter consoled me, giving his condolence to my family... I couldn't find Patricia anywhere. Maybe she didn't care. She's the least of my problems right now. Dad's gone and my mom will never be the same. Bella kept on avoiding me and I don't know why. She was the one keeping secrets.
4 months later
My graduation....
Nothing's changed expect my thumping belly but my garment wasn't revealing it. I wasn't happy. Mom wasn't feeling too well but she managed to come since it was important to me. I had We all said our goodbye's to our friends. Aaron never showed up. Allison said he's going through rough times but she wouldn't give me the details.
Finally, Bella and i got to talk. She said I was the one drifting away from her. I never asked her what was going on with her, I don't pick my calls. All I did was pay attention to my boyfriend. Jealous bestie. I was still surprised when I saw stiles hands locked on her waist whispering something into her ears and I knew he was talking dirty. Bella and I love bad boys.
"Em.. Em.." I cleared my throat..
Stiles got the message.
"Ugh... Just make it quick. I'm not a patient guy, okay?" Stiles said, drifting away from us. I could see Bella's cheek flush red. What spell did he cast on her? They were sworn enemies. I need to hear the true story.
"Bella did I do something wrong? We're best friends and I missed you."
I noticed she was touched by my words.
"Sharon i missed you like crazy." She said pulling me to a tight hug, crying.
"I missed us gossiping. I miss everything."
"Then why were you avoiding me. I'm confused."
"I thought you didn't want to be friends with me. You never picked any of my calls especially when I needed it the most. We don't chat like we used to."
Well, that's because you call when Stephen and I having an important interview.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Stiles and I got into a fight when I saw his ex in his house. It's all in the past now."
"Fuck past. Tell me the details! You know I love the juicy parts."
"Fine."
Bella narrated everything to me. I could see at a distance, Stephen and Stiles were talking. They sounded serious. What were they talking about?
**********
"Bro, man up and do what you gotta do. You've wanted to do this for ages." Stiles said, drinking.
"I know, I know, but your girlfriend is in the way." Stephen replied.
"Is that it?" Stiles said, taking his phone from his pocket, texting Bella.
"Babe, my friend said you're in the way of him proposing to his girlfriend. Don't tell her I told you, chocolate."
They noticed as Bella screamed in excitement.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" She screamed.
"What is it? What is it? Tell me! Tell me!" I pressured Bella.
"I gotta go." Bella said leaving me alone.
"Wha..." She's gone.
I took the drink next to me, unaware it was alcohol. Stephen ran with speed, grabbing the glass from me.
"What were you thinking?!" Stephen said, breathing heavily.
"What are you talking about? I asked, confused.
"Alcohol." He said, dropping it on a table.
"Oh... I didn't know."
"Be careful next time. Sharon we been through a lot and I don't know why it's hard saying it." Stephen says.
Stiles helped him muster courage, giving him a thumps-up i was oblivious about.
"Saying what?"
"Marry me, Sharon." Stephen went on his knees.
"Stephen..." I said, covering my mouth in surprise. I wasn't expecting this.
"We can go far away from. Far away from our problems. Just me and you, babe."
Stephen was anxious of me replying.
"Stephen... I can't."
"What? Say that again?" His eyebrow furrowed.
"Stephen.. It's a yes. I was just pulling your legs." I giggled. It was as if he's heart rate went to 0%.
He put the ring taking a deep breathe, squeezing my butt, not caring if anyone was watching.
"Don't ever do that again.." He whispered into my ears.
Stephen's pov
My whole body system went numb when i heard her say no. Trust me, i didn't believe it either. That was the last words i ever thought i would hear from her. You know i'm not a patient type. Trust me, i could have just put the ring on her fingers without asking but i tried being that perfect gentleman and she fucked me up with those silly words. Her words fucked me badly. I felt my world trembling down, i was in an unconscious moment but fully awake, physically not emotionally and i needed an hot slap to re-awake me.
"Say it again." My emotions gave second chances.
"Stephen it's a yes. I was just pulling your legs." She giggled. The best way to pour your anger on a girl like her is fucking her, while she begged for mercy. I might be funny at times but i was dead serious when i asked her to marry me. I put the ring quickly, before she could change her mind, squeezing her butt.
"Don't ever do that again." I whispered in her ears and she knew i didn't take that joke funny.
