Stella's perspective

Stella - yes ma'am (I responded to an elderly woman dressed in a long black outfit with lovely white lace on the collar. She is a real estate agent, and I urgently need a house as I am new to London, currently residing with my best friend and only family, LISA SMITH. Although she would want me to stay with her forever, I don't wish to burden her, so I am searching for my own place.)

Stacy (agent) - Alright dear, don't worry, I'll assist you in finding a house. Please write your name and contact number on this paper so I can update you when I have any information. (she said with a cheerful smile.)

Stella - thank you so much for your assistance! (I smiled and left her office, realizing my phone is dead, and I know Lisa must be concerned since I left without informing her. I needed to hurry home as fast as possible, so I started running.)

(now, I am catching my breath after all the running, but I finally made it home, preparing to face the DEVIL!)

Stella - okay, here goes nothing (as I rang the doorbell, mentally preparing for the worst)

the door creaked open slowly, just like in horror movies, and there stood Lisa, looking like the devil herself.

Lisa- oh hey, look who decided to show up (she said with a mischievous grin)

Stella- umm, I, uh, I...

Lisa - yeah, it's you.

Stella - I'm sorry, pumpkin, my phone died, and I was at the broker's office... oh no! (I covered my mouth in shock at what I had just revealed)

Lisa - what did you say! Come inside first. (she gestured for me to follow her inside)

Stella - umm, okay

she sat me down on the couch, held my face, and asked me)

Lisa - baby, I've told you many times that you can live with me. Am I not your big sister?

Stella - of course, you are my only family. It's just that I don't want to be a burden on you.

Lisa - you can never be a burden to me, Stella, and you know that.

Stella - yes, I know. But please, it's my wish, and besides, I also want to have my own house. (I said it in a joking manner)

Lisa - (sigh) okay, if that's what will make you happy, I am happy for you. But remember, whenever you need my help, I will always be there, okay??

Stella - I know, and thank you, Sissy.

Lisa - okay, let's watch a movie now! Oh, a horror one.

Stella - haha, okay, fine. I'll get some snacks ready. (While saying that, I got up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen)

Lisa - heyy, wait for me!! (And she followed me while laughing)
