Warning: Overdose and Violence

    "Nova?"

     Stella pushed past them, she quickly rounded the corner and her eyes widened when her eyes met with her sister's body. It was far away but she couldn't miss her. She couldn't forget that green hair and the girl's walk, it never changed. She walked with the same confidence she always had, at the time, it was fake confidence, but the small difference in how she walks now, it was true.

     Stella's fists clenched, She's been living happily this whole time while I've been stuffed into cells. Stella's feet moved on her own, she ignored the whisper yells of Cherri behind her as she got closer and closer to the fence.

      She jumped it, she didn't know what she was going to do. But her mind was racing, Ella was yelling at her to chill out. Apparently, Ella could hear her thoughts and they were loud.

      "Agh, shut your brain up!"

      Stella walked through the people on the hill until she got to where people were standing, a song started, a slow guitar. Not very rock anymore.

      Her sister's voice picked up, Stella's head felt fuzzy, she didn't know what her sister was saying. She walked through the people, they gave her dirty looks when she walked through. "Who does she think she is?"

      Stella got closer and closer to the stage, the microphone was close to the edge but out of reach of anyone. That's where Nova stood. Stella didn't recognize the two behind her, well, one of them she saw at the carnival.

      She was almost at the front, but far enough back that Nova would accidentally glance down and see her. Stella didn't know that though, she was in her own shock. Nova's breath hitched when her eyes locked onto Stella's, the guitar screeched when she accidentally dragged along it wrong. Nova pulled the guitar off her, it had a strap on it so it would stay on her when she wasn't playing it.

     The people cleared a spot when Nova stepped down onto the ground, she came closer and closer to Stella until her hands shakily got closer to Stella's face. Her hands hesitated, she wouldn't touch Stella. There was shock and fear in her eyes. Stella took a step back, shock fell through her and she lost control of her bones. Her fist flew forward and punched her sister.

     Stella stumbled back and held her first, Ella!?

     "That wasn't me!"

     Doubtful. Stella felt hands roughly grab her, they were security. She fought them off, her sister stumbled back against the state, and the two girls were now by her side. "What the fuck is your problem?!" A girl with braids, or locs? I'm not sure, yelled at her.

     "Stop, stop! Leave her alone!" Nova yelled, blood covered her hand from her bleeding nose. She moved forward and pushed the security guard off of Stella. "Don't manhandle her, fuck."

     Nova turned back to her, Stella furrowed her brows and turned away. Nova came quickly and grabbed her arm, "Hey!" She yelled when Nova forcefully held her arms behind her back when she tried to run. "Get off me!"

     "Calm down! Stella!" Nova then spun Stella around and held her by both her wrists, "Please don't run from me!" Stella glared daggers at her sister, but she didn't pull away. "Please, just go sit in the parking lot until I'm done... Please, don't run off." Nova let go of Stella and slowly backed up when Cherri appeared, you could hear her multiple sorry's moments before she showed up because she pushed through people.  

      "Come on, Stell. We can wait." Cherri said as she gently grabbed Stella's wrist. And so they did, they waited. For an hour.

     Stella sat on the roof of a car, Nova told the guards to lead them to where she or her friend was parked in a private lot. She was sitting on their car, and Cherri tried to get her off because it was disrespectful. "Her sending me away and the things she said to me were disrespectful. She said.
