Chapter 5 - Reunited

Stella's POV
"Wow. That's um- deep." Flora replied as we finally finished telling the story of how all of this happened. All of us stared to the ground, reliving in our minds everything that we went through. I needed to break this silence.
"Come on guys I mean, yeah Rosalind has taken over but we've been though tough shit right? Stuff way worse than this." All they did was nod and murmur in agreement. I sighed, realizing they were probably right to be like this. And now I had a bodyguard. I have to admit though, he was kinda cute. Maybe there's more to him than meets the eye...
"Well we're going to have to make good out of this... Whatever this is. Anyways I'm off, I'm gonna go check on Sam before I have to read over 100 million stressed out minds. See y'all." With that Musa hopped of the kitchen table where she was sitting and left while everyone waved and said goodbye. Everyone then began to fan out, Flora went with Terra to get her things from the old suite, Aisha went for a swim in the river and Bloom, to her new room where she unpacked all the clothes she took back to her parents house. Well, I guess that meant I should do something to. I strolled into Blooms new room, eyeing it up and down to see how big it was, and yes. It was big.
"Hey!" I tried to say with some sort of motivation.
"Hiya." She didn't even look at me, give any sort of response other than one short word. After a few seconds I heard a little sniff come from her direction. I walked up to her and placed my hand on her back. God I was an idiot, how did I not realise before that she was going to blame all this on herself.
"Bloom, I know what your thinking. And it isn't your fault. You just wanted to know who your parents were and-"
"That's just it Stella! I was so desperate to know them, I didn't even think of the consequenses. People could have died, because of me. Any of you girls, the people closest to what I can call family, could have died Stella. You dont-" I knew what she was going to say. 'You don't understand' I know exactly how it feels, to want something, then to hurt people I love around me. My mind took me back to Rikki and my eyes started to swell. I snapped out of it.
"Don't say that Bloom, you know that I understand. I blinded my god damn best friend cause I wanted something. We all make mistakes, even if sometimes they are fairly big ones." She finally turned towards me and pulled me into a hug. I have to admit, when I first saw her that day in the courtyard, I thought I would never like her. Now, she was like a sister to me, a sometimes stubborn one, yes. But still a sister. It was the same with all the other Winx girls aswell, I felt like I could just be... Myself, around all of them. It was nice.
"Thank you Stella." She said with a wide smile, wiping away the left over tears from her face. I beamed a smile back at her when we heard a knock at the door. It must have been Terra and Flora.
"Ill go get it, you can go play around with that bodyguard of yours." She gave a cheeky grin towards me. It gave me an idea though, instead of being bored sitting around here I could go watch him get his ass kicked in training a few times. I walked to the door a few paces behind Bloom as she opened it, I heard the deep, soothing voice of Sky.
"Bloom!!" I watched at he held her tightly, a smile lit up on her face.
"You have no idea how long I've been looking for you, have you turned into like a ninja or something?" She replied to him, still hugging him. As Sky finally noticed me standing there, he let go of Bloom, but still held onto her hand. I must admit, they did give off power couple vibes. I don't know why, but a sudden bit of jealousy came to me. I was happy for them. Me and Sky were friends. I shouldn't be jealous. But seeing them standing together...
"Hey Stel!" I gave a little wave and he went back to lock eyes with Bloom, then to look around the common area.
"I mean I know Rosalind is bad but like... This is a whole lot bigger than your old suite." Me and Bloom chuckled.
"There's a new girl, Flora, shes the cousin that Terra always talks about." I said, and as if by queue, Flora and Terra stepped into the door frame holding boxes filled to the brim with plants and Terras handmade clothing.
"You two planning on joining the gym? Those look pretty heavy!" Bloom and Sky went to take a box off of the pile they each had been carrying. I walked over to take one off to.
"Sky! There you are... Blooms been internally screaming since she didn't see you with good old dad." Bloom, me and Sky chuckled then I saw on Terras face a look of regret, that might not have been the best thing to remind Sky of. But he was laughing all the same.
"Oh has she!" He took an exadurated look at Bloom, who just smiled. Me and him were never like that. We were always so serious. Anyway...
"Well I'm gonna go and watch Brandon be humiliated in training... See you all later!" I placed the cardboard box on the kitchen side and walked out, trying to forget about the jealousy I felt.

Blooms POV
I was so stupid. Stella was already not feeling so great with her mum and everything and then I had to go and blow it even more. I know her and Sky are just friends now, but I saw that she felt a little hurt. Terra saw the look on my face, my eyes following Stella.
"Hey... It's fine, it's just new to her." She reassured me, I guess she was right. Flora looked at me confused.
"Stella and Sky dated last year... I've kinda broken the first law of friendship really." I looked down to the ground.
"No you haven't! You already asked Stella if it was ok right? And if she didn't want you two together she would have said so." Sky looked down and planted a kiss on my burnt red hair as Flora rubbed my arm and whispered that it would all be fine whilst walking off with Terra into their room. Sky squeezed my hand.
"Like she said, Stella said it was fine, and she even told me that it made her happy knowing everything was going well, it's ok!"
"I guess, still, I'll talk to her later. Anyways you ok? I know with all this it's a little....difficult." He played around with one of my hands and didn't respond, I nudged him.
"Um... well yeah, it's just, new... I suppose." He was definitely not fine.

Skys POV
I knew that she knew I wasn't fine, but neither was she. We both needed a break.
"So... I was thinking, considering I know you think all this is your fault and we're both having a pretty rubbish day, well, only if you want to I- um..." Why was it so difficult for me? Bloom was my best friend and I couldn't even ask her out on a date. Great. She smiled up at me, knowing what I was trying to ask. It was good she did, cause I had no idea how I was going to say it without sounding awkward.
"Of course. You don't have to be so scared you know, it's not like I'm going to say no. Anyway, you wanna go walk around the forest? Everyone will be in assembly so there won't be any crazy teachers spying on us." I grinned and placed my arm around her neck as she locked her fingers into mine. I landed another kiss on her forehead. Just as I let go to hold her hand and walk out to leave, Andreas came barging in out of nowhere. Perfect timing, as always.
"Why you two are quite the pair arnt you?" He was obviously angry that I didn't tell him about Bloom. It's not like I'd tell a stranger about my relationship, so why should he know?
"Dad I..." Bloom looked at Andreas, I don't know whether she was amused by him or not.
"We were just going out actually. Or is that against the rules to?" I smirked. One of the reasons I loved her was how strong her sarcasticness was.
"Don't try and get like that with me, missy. I'm just looking out for my boy Sky here." I had the perfect comeback.
"Funny how you think your looking out for me... Where were you about a day ago? Oh that's right... I didn't even know you were alive." Maybe I took it a step to far.
"Sorry, sir. I just... I'm not having the best day." He nodded, accepting my apology. I still meant what I said though. He had never been there for me, ever. Bloom nudged me on the side.
"Well, I'm sorry to barge in on your... Moment. But me and Sky here have alot to talk about." Me and Bloom had alot to talk about to. I guess that in his eyes he didn't see that.
"That's ok... Me and Sky can talk later." She said, a half smile on her face.
"I have to go and move my stuff to the suite anyways. Nice meeting you." I knew she was being sarcastic on the last part but my father obviously did not and gave a genuine smile to her as she quickly kissed my cheek and ran of down the hallway to her old suite.
"Well she seems nice son. How come you didn't tell me about her?" I was still astonished of how oblivious he was.
"Well. I did only just meet you 2 hours ago, so, maybe that's it." He nodded and agreed with my point, then ushered me to stand next to him as we walked. I couldn't really hear what he was saying half the time, something about my training and spending more time on it... I was to busy thinking about how my dad was actually standing Infront of me, and how I was going to try and persuade him to let Silva out of jail.
