Beside You || lrh 2013 MAJOR EDITING

I Could Rewind (Chapter 36)

•Stella's POV•

"Honey?" I heard my mum say from my back, coming out of the front door. I've been here for almost an hour now. The pain that I'm feeling couldn't go away. I looked down to my shirt and saw small drops of blood, probably from my busted lip.

"What happened? Your lip is swollen!" She said. "Come inside."

She helped me up and we both went inside. She sat me on a dining chair and went to the sink.

"What happened?" she asked while filling up a small bowl with water.

"Br-hanna" I said. The sound was different because of my swollen lip.

"Rihanna?" my mum asked.

I shook my head. "Bree-anna," I said again. This time, it sounded much better.

"Brianna?" she said.

I nodded.

"She did that to you?"

"Amb her fronds," I said.

"Well, do you want me to do something? That's outrageous!"

"No," I said.

"No? Why? You're just gonna let her get away with that? Look, you have bruises and your lip is bleeding," she said, dabbing a clean cloth on my lip, making me flinch.

"Why would she do that to you?" she continued. "You didn't do anything to her, right? I'm really going to call your principal about-"

"Mum, no!" I exclaimed, ignoring the pain that I felt as I said that. "Leave it be!"

As I said that, I exited the dining room and ran up the stairs. Ignoring the pain once again, I leaped two steps at a time and slammed my door. Behind it, there I sat. Thinking of what was happening.

Revenge. That word was stuck in my head. Who was getting revenge? Why are they using me? What's happening? Is it that severe that revenge was to be used?

"Think, Stella, think," I said to myself as I pulled on my hair. Now I want Luke. I want him to know that I'm in a crisis right now.

I want to know if he still wants me too.

•Kristen's POV•

My show was tonight. I'm nervous again. This is what always happens to me every time I have a show somewhere. The people would probably be asking about Calum. They'd be asking about how, when and why he's my "boyfriend".

The plan, I thought. I should do my plan. Step one is to talk Calum out of his feelings. We haven't communicated for days which is in one side, good.

I was in my hotel room. I was doing nothing. It's early afternoon and I have to rest for tonight.

"Kristen?" Annie popped out from the small kitchen. "There's a call. It's for you."

"A call?" I said, reaching out for my phone.

"Hello?" I said. "Calum?"

"Hey Kristen!" he said in an upbeat voice. For some reason, I was quite nervous. I don't know why.

"Hi... Cal," I said again.

"Hey, we have plan," he said.

I laughed nervously. "What's the plan?"

"Look, after our next song writing session and show, we've got three days to go home!" he cheered.

I gulped. Holy shit, no. No no no no.

"So..." I said.

"I don't know, maybe you want to come with us?" Calum said.

"Me?" I asked.
