Stella Martins had always been so sure about what she wants in life... until she met Chase Johnson. What If... she started to fall for him? What If... he's always showing her signs that he likes her more than she thinks? What If... he actually felt...
"I was so damn worried Ella! That was one of the stupidest things ever! What were you thinking!? Rue and I were so damn worried! I swear if something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Do you hear me Stella!?"
"Stella? Stella! Wake up! You're having a bad dream!" Rue said, sounding worried and shaking me.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Stella, are you okay? You're sweating and you look pale! Wait here."
Rue hurried to get me glass of water and I drank up to the last drop. I was okay but I'm still feeling a little woozy. I don't know, maybe it was a side effect of what happened last night or bad dream I had. Rue left some medicine on my bedside table and went ahead because she is running late for her Algebra class while I on the other hand, just stayed in bed and stared up the ceiling. "I'm pretty much having weird dreams lately and I'm not liking it." I said to myself, but then shook my head in confusion. I glanced at the clock and saw that it's almost 8 and my class starts in 30 minutes. Forcing myself to get up, I noticed that my head got heavier than its usual weight. Instead of panicking, like the lazyass that I sometimes am, I got out of bed and went to look at myself in front of the mirror. Gosh, I do look pale. I decided to take a bath, changed into my white inside shirt with purple plaid polo, shorts and a pair of gray Vans. I hurriedly went out of the room, still combing my hair and not bothering what I looked like.

I arrived in class 5 minutes before the time. I sat at the back, still catching my breath from all the running I did. Chase was already there, sitting and listening to music. I was actually surprised that he did not notice me enter the room, because he usually does, I mean for the past few days though. I decided to just sit back and relax.

"Look who's finally here. Did you know that Rue and I have been fucking worried about you last night? Did you know that we almost lost all our senses looking for you?" he said, almost in a mad tone.
"I know and I'm sorry, okay? I was at Coffeelandia and my phone ran out of batteries."
"And you were with Josh all the fucking time? We were damn worried about him too. To think that the 2 people we are damn worried about and the ones we've been looking for the whole night, were together and not even one of them bothered to pick up their phones to answer our calls? Psshhh." Chase said, sounding pissed as hell. It was my first time to hear him so mad.
"What did you say? 'Not even one of you bothered to pick your phones to answer our calls'? Didn't you hear what I just said? My phone ran out of batteries and Josh turned off his. And in case you didn't know, I did NOT know that he has a problem last night, okay?" I said, matching his tone.
"Yeah right. Did you know that we almost called the police to go out and look for you? I mean, seriously, did you ever think that there are people looking for you last night? It was almost 10:30 when you guys got back last night. You're a girl Ella and you're just new here. You still don't know the place and the people around. What if you got lost or kidnapped, huh?"
