"I see you finally woke up." Stella's mother, Katherine, said when Stella came down the stairs.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"You have been asleep for a couple hours. Now get washed up, supper is almost ready." Katherine stated.
"How did I get here?"
"Your father & me went to your grandmother's and got you. We saw you asleep so we got your things then brought you home without waking you up."
"Was Shane still there?"
"He most certainly was not. Stella I don't know why you hang out with that boy. He's nothing but trouble."
"He's not trouble mama! I love him!"
"As I've told you before, you are only 16 and you don't know what love is."
"I know what love is."
"Getting a girl pregnant without being married to her is not love. Pack your bags because after your grandmother's funeral you're going away."
"What?! Why am I going away? Where am I going?"
"Don't you worry about where you're going. I told you once that you've disgraced this family by getting pregnant without being married."
"Oh like you did?" She spat out and seen the look on her mother's face, "Yeah, that's right, I know that you got pregnant when you were my age. Grandma told me all about it."
Katherine didn't do anything but slap her daughter across the face.

Stella sat up in bed quickly, yelling, "You bitch!"
When she yelled like that it made both Madison & MacKenzie jump since they weren't expecting that. MacKenzie came out of the bathroom & looked at Stella.
"What's wrong?" MacKenzie asked.
"Oh, um, nothing was just having a bad dream." Stella answered then rubbed her hands over her face.
"It helps to talk about it." Madison suggested.
"Oh, it was just a dream about when my mom and I got into a small fight. It was right after my grandma died. She was grouching about me wanting to be with Shane. And it was after I found out I was pregnant and my grandma, on my mom's side, had told me that mom had ended up pregnant when she was 16 so I told mom that she told me about that. She slapped me for it and told me to never to speak of it again. She even tried to tell me it was my fault my grandma on my dad's side had a heart attack but I knew it wasn't." Stella explained with tears in her eyes.
"Awe sweetie." Both girls said and sat down beside her.
"Yeah, but that was the past. When I was 18 my mom died so I came back just long enough to go to her funeral then went back. I didn't see anyone but family and friends of my parents."
"Really?" Madison asked.
"Mhm, but anyways are you girls done with the bathroom? I want to take a shower real quick."
"Yeah, let me grab my make-up and the bathroom is all yours." MacKenzie stated then went and got it.
Stella then went and took a shower. Afterwards the girls went to Aidens house, she was going to go by herself but decided to bring the girls with her knowing they didn't want to hang around at the hotel all day. As soon as they got to his house, he steped out onto the porch and hugged Stella.
"I've missed you so much." He smiled.
"Aiden, I've missed you too. Sorry I've been away so long. I didn't even want to go away."
Aiden broke the hug, "Hey, it's not your fault, it's mom's fault."
"If I wouldn't have gotten pregnant then-"
"You were a normal teenager. Mom didn't need to send you away. Listen, I'm getting ready to go down to this diner called, Tradewinds. How about you come with me. Dad and I meet there everyday for lunch."
"Of course I would love to go with you. How did you get this Escalade?"
"Well that's because I own the diner. I have for about a year now."
"Oh my God bubby, that's wonderful."
"Wow, you haven't called me bubby since you were 13."
"Yeah, well, you'll always be bubby to me. Let's ride in your vehicle, oh and I want you to meet two of my friends that came with me." She giggled and pulled him over to her car as the 2 girls got out of it.
"Aiden, I want you to meet my good friends MacKenzie and Madison. They are sisters & I've friends with them for about 3 years now. Girls, this is my older brother, Aiden."
"Hi, nice to meet you." Madison smiled.
"Nice to meet you too, I see good looks run in the family." MacKenzie smiled.
Aiden chuckled as Stella blushed, "So you girls want to join Stella and me? We are going to this diner for lunch."
"You sure?" MacKenzie asked.
"Of course, you're my sisters friends. And any friends of hers is friends of mine."
With that they loaded up into Aidens vehicle and went to the diner to have lunch. After they got there, he told them to order anything they wanted to since he owned the diner.
