Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 3)

Ch.53 Meant to be

Now in the Storybrooke hospital, Aidan waited in the waiting room, feeling worried about Sabrina as Stella entered.

"Hey" he said.

"Hey" she went up to him with a worried look "Where's Sabrina?"

"She's being checked out right now."

"Oh my gosh" she sighed as she sat down "I can't believe she never told me this, who did this to her?"

"She's doesn't remember his name, all she knows is that he was a bit older so he probably doesn't go to our school."

"Does she at least know what he looks like?"

"A little."

Stella gave another sigh with a worried look.

"I just can't believe someone would do this horrible thing to her" she said.

"Hey, we'll find the guy who did this."

At that point Sabrina entered with a doctor.

"Sabrina" Stella gasped as she ran up and hugged her.

"Stella what are you doing here?" Sabrina asked surprised.

"I called her" Aidan said.

"What?" she gasped.

"I'm sorry, but she had to know."

"Is she okay?" Stella asked the doctor.

"She's fine" he said "She's clear of any sexual diseases."

Stella and Aidan sighed in relief.

"Thank you" Aidan said as the doctor went away.

"Sabrina how could you not tell me about this?" Stella asked.

"I'm sorry" Sabrina said with a sad look "I wanted to but I just couldn't get it out."

"So you didn't know the guy who did this to you?"

"No, but if I see his face I'll remember him."

"Well I think we should go to the Police Station" Aidan suggested.

"Yeah" Stella agreed as they went.

At the station, the officers questioned Sabrina about what happened and what her rapist looked like. Aidan and Stella watched through the glass with worried looks.

"Thank you" Stella said suddenly.

"What?" Aidan said.

"Thank you for helping my sister, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't of known about her problem."

"Oh well, no problem" he smiled.

Soon Sabrina and the officers came out.

"So?" Aidan asked them.

"Well it was a brief description" one of them said "But we'll find him."

"Thank you" Stella said as they left "Are you okay Sabrina?"

"I'm fine" she said.

"Are you glad you finally told someone about this?" Aidan asked.

"Yeah" she mumbled.

"And now we're gonna help you" Stella said as she rubbed Sabrina's shoulder.

Sabrina gave a small smile, a smile that Stella hasn't seen in 3 months. They all then went into a group hug with smiles on their faces.

"So" Aidan said "You girls wanna hang at the 'Wonder diner'?"

"Oh you guys go ahead" Stella said "I got a date with Kendell."

"K have fun" Sabrina smiled as she left.

"Stella's dating Kendell?" Aidan said surprised.

"Yeah they've been dating for 2 months, you never knew?"

"Well it's just, I never thought of a girl who would fall for him."

"Well apparently my sister does."

"Huh. Well then, shall we go to the diner?"

"We shall" she smiled as they headed out.

As the sun was getting lower, Rachel and Andy were heading towards Rachel's house where they almost ran into each other when they made it to the front.

"Oh" they both said surprised "Hey."

"Uh, what are you doing here?" Rachel asked.

"I uh, I actually need to talk to you."

"Really? I actually need to talk to you."

"Oh, well uh, who should go first?"

"You can go."

"Okay then. Well uh-" he started with a nervous look "I know this may sound kinda weird and all, but uh, I really like you..."

Rachel's eyes widen "I'm sorry what?"

"I know it's kinda strange to hear it from me, but I really do, I like you."

"But uh, what about Bridget?"

"Oh we broke up, but she allowed me to go to you."

"Really?" she gasped.

"Yeah."

"Oh my God" she gasped "I was actually gonna say the same thing to you."

"Wait what?"

"I like you too" she smiled.

"Really?" Andy gasped.

"Yeah" she smiled as she then noticed the white roses that she had planted "Wait."

She bent down and plucked a rose.

"Grab onto this" she told him.

"What?"

"Mood Roses will change colors depending on how the person truly feels about each other, just grab onto it."

"Okay" he said as he grabbed hold of the stem as the rose turned pink.

Rachel gave a small gasp as her eyes widen.

"What does pink mean?" Andy asked.

"Meant to be" Rachel said with her eyes still widen.

"Wait what?" he gasped.

"But how can that be?" Rachel asked herself "I don't have a love interest in my story, unless..."

She started to remember the lost tale of 'Cupid and Psyche', remembering that Psyche was her father's old lover who had a son that died at childbirth who would of been Rachel's lover, but how could it be that her love is right in front of her? Did Psyche have another child? Or was he never really dead?

"Could it be?" Rachel said with shock.

"What are you trying to say?" Andy asked with a confused look.

"Andy" she said still surprised "Do you know your parents?"

"Well uh, not really, I never really met them. But if I could remember, I think I had an adopted father, but I don't know where he is now."

"Oh my God" she said with shock.

"What is it that you're trying to say?"

"We have to go see Mr. Gold now."

"What?"

"I'll explain later, but we have to go now, let's go."

"Okay" he shrugged as they headed off.

As they headed to the shop, Rachel couldn't stop thinking if it's true, is Andy really the son of Psyche?
