Missing Love

All Together

"Starr? What are you doing here?" Tears filled her eyes but she had an angry expression on her face, "YOU LIED TO ME! YOU SAID YOU AND BROOK WERE OVER! YOU SAID YOUR LITTLE GAMES WERE OVER! I CAN BARELY LOOK YOU IN THE EYE!" She will never understand. "Believe it or not, Caleb isn't evil. I've come to know each and every one of these people you play your games with and I'm done hiding like you. You've become just like dad." She shoved past me and slammed the door behind her, she opened it again a few seconds later. "People have died because of you. Why don't you let that sink in." She slammed the door harder this time, shaking my floor. She doesn't know half of it, neither do I...

-Gracie's POV-
Just as I was heading back to my dorm, I heard a scream from Bryson's dorm, that's where Starr is! I listened into the door, Bryson was on the phone.
"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! Don't you know what it's like to fall in love? Just please—"
"Mom, I'm sorry. I know what she did, I know what dad did. And for the record, I still love you, no matter what. She just means a lot to me, more then you could ever imagine."
Bryson hung up the phone, then I heard heels clicking behind me, a cloth was pulled over my mouth and I suddenly couldn't breathe, the voice said "Remember I love you darling, but you're not mine to keep."

-Starr's POV-
I ran down the dorm hallway only to see a dark-dressed figure in a ski mask and Gracie collapsed on the floor. I hit the button to go down the elevator as soon as I had raced to the elevator, to the headmaster's office I go. Maybe I should've called the cops but something told me this was coming. "Headmaster Plaidson! You wouldn't believe what just happened! Person, ski mask, Gracie--" He cut me off, "Poor Starr, you truly aren't responsible for your relatives actions, *cough* your mom *cough*, but I'm afraid that you're something that she cares about, I won't hurt a hair on your head if you cooperate." The earth below me seemed to shake, "S-SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I screeched as my vision seemed to go black....

-Bryson's POV (during Starr's blackout)-
I heard a loud screech from the headmaster's office which was between the girls wing and the boys wing, it sounded like Starr! I ran down the stairs but Starr wasn't there and neither was Headmaster Plaidson. With Brook and my step-mom on the loose, who knows what could happen... Then I noticed the bookshelf behind me! It seemed to work in the old movies so I pulled a candlestick forward and just as I thought, the bookshelf moved towards the right revealing a large passageway lit by torches! The passageway seemed to go on forever but I slowly walked down the straight tunnel until I reached a large dungeon-like room. "D-Dad?"

-Starr's POV-
I awoke in a small dark room, with my head spinning. Suddenly, I made out two blurry figures. A man.. And Bryson. I was still pissed. I angrily got up and staggered over to them. "Why the HELL am I anywhere near YOU fuckers?" I asked them, slurring a bit. "Starr are you drunk?" Bryson asked bluntly. "NO. Maybe a little STAGGERY. But I haven't DRUNK shit!" I shouted. "Come with me." Bryson told me calmly. I rolled my eyes, but followed.

-Ryan's POV-
I slowly checked FaceBook. I don't know what I'm doing anymore! I slowly skimmed through everything but then there was a *DING*! I opened the message.

YOU'RE INVITED TO:
Brook's super awesome, fun, rockin party! Drinks! Food! Dancing! Come on!

I rolled my eyes but I decided to go anyways. I forwarded the party invite to everyone (Gracie, Katrina, Starr, Bryson etc.) and grinned. I picked up a photo on Bryson's desk; it was of him and Starr. I just kind of stared at Starr, she was different that's for sure. But she was also optimistic, bright, bubbly, and gorgeous. I shook those thoughts away and put down the photo; I LOVE GRACIE! I need to get a tux or something for the party. Suddenly I got a text message.
"Oh little Ry Ry.
How cute.
You're crushing on your best friend's girlfriend, and your girlfriend's best friend!
In love, that's what you are.
Denial, sure that too.
I can and will hurt you.
Damage is what I cause.
Your sweet relationship.
Girlfriends, are extremely important.
Life, that's important too.
Don't underestimate me.
Be glad I haven't done anything yet.
-Anonymous."
And I was dead silent.

-Starr's POV-
My head was still spinning as I removed my current outfit to put on a new one. I decided on a silver sparkly dress, sparkly silver earrings, silver heels, silver sparkly nail polish, silver eyeshadow and a silver bracelet. I am very silver!
I slowly looked at my outfit in the mirror. I turned to my side. Ew! I look fat. I was going to eat lunch, but decided against it. Today's events were still flashing in my mind of Bryson. And I have a lot on my plate already...

PARTY TIME.

-Gracie's POV-
I grinned and began to dance. I was wearing a medium-length tight pastel purple dress with black heels! I then noticed Ryan eyeing something in the corner, I followed his stare straight to Starr! I immediately got jealous. Why is he gawking at MY best friend? He's MY boyfriend! I glared at Starr, and she caught my eye and looked confused. I just rolled my eyes, fighting back tears.

-Starr's POV-
I walked over to Ryan and grabbed his arm. I knew something he didn't and he has to know before it's too late. I dragged him into the bedroom and he looked at me, confused. I smiled, "Sit." I demanded and he did. "Ryan I have a secret to tell you—" I got cut off by a light headed feeling. I sat down. Was this because I wasn't eating? Ryan looked at me, surprised. "Starr, lie down." I obeyed. He layed down next to me and gave me a slightly goofy smile. "What's the big secret?" I looked at him and smiled "I love you." I informed him, still feeling light headed and faint. He looked at me in surprise. "I.. I love you too." He said, slightly smiling. I sat up, looked into his eyes and kissed him. Then I pulled away, surprised. What the hell did I just do? And why the hell did I like it?! He smiled again. Man, he has a great smile. He leaned in, connecting our lips once again. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and our lips just kept going, they were in sync until Gracie walked into the room....
