FLASHBACK

A SHACKLE

MASSON'S POV:

I thought they harassed her sexually. I don't know but she screamed and it was not at all normal. I told Zoe's mother about the whole situation and also that she forbid me to tell Stella anything about this. But I am confused, Stella is her friend and why she won't let her know anything.

5 DAYS LATER:

I don't know where Stella is .. she is okay or not .. but tbh I don't want to talk her ..because she'll ask me about Zoe and I don't want to lie tbh!

STELLA'S POV:

I was in search of that person who gave mom my daddy's picture..idk what to do. I took that picture out. I was just trying to notice anything that could gimme a clue. but then I saw something really creepy in it. There was a SHACKLE near him.. hanging with the window which was on the upper right corner of the room. I didn't notice that before.

*and then a flashback appears*

FLASHBACK:

a woman in a shackle was on the floor. Daddy was staring at her and smiling. She was crying so loud. I was looking at them surreptitiously from the window. I couldn't see her face but all I could see was a golden batch on the back of her shirt and I could clearly recognize that voice. I know I had heard that before.

*flashback disappears*

Stella started shouting after the flashback disappeared. Her mom came up to her running.

MOM: whats wrong??

STELLA: You're asking me ?? really mom ??? fucking asking me????? huh

MOM: eyebrows raised**

STELLA: I asked you hundred of times what the hell happened that I get these flashbacks?? you are not at all in them.. only daddy, only daddy! and....a woman!

she started crying and held onto her mother.

STELLA: Okay mom whatever. I know you will never tell me.

saying this Stella came out of the room and there she was.

ZOE'S MOTHER!

STELLA: Heyy!! how are you??

ZOE'S MOM: Hi. (she looked upset)

STELLA: how's Zoe??

ZOE'S MOM: yeah she is good maybe. I mean no. uhh yeah, I hope she is fine. But she is not.

STELLA: W..WHHATT???*raised eyebrow*

ZOE'S MOM: Zoe is kidnapped.

STELLA: WHATTTT THEEE HELLLLL????? , she yelled

I wasn't supposed to tell you about it, she insisted Masson again and again not to tell you anything.. and that's what made me curious. I want to know Zoe. I am sure you know something about this case!

STELLA: are you serious?? how would I know anything about it ???

ZOE'S MOM: I DON'T CARE IF YOU KNOW OR NOT. BUT I KNOW YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!

STELLA: like seriously?? you are blaming me ?? for no reason. we will complain and let see what police could do for us!*sighed*

ZOE'S MOM: She told not to inform the police.

STELLA: huh.

Zoe's mom opened the door and while she was on the last step.

STELLA: EXCUSE ME, MAM! STOP BLAMING ME. I AM NOT AT ALL INVOLVED IN IT. I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU ARE BLAMING ME ??? HER BESTFRIENDDD???

I don't know what to do.. she accused me of a kidnap of my best friend?? how could she even think like this? I have no resources to get her back. I don't even know her fucking location. And Masson, why didn't he told me about this. such a liar!

and for the third time, I took out dad's picture*all i could do*.. there was an address printed on the back of the picture. it might be of the studio or my dad's location.it was in California. and I will do anything to find him. I want to know everything. I will go to California. no matter what happens. I wanted Masson to go with me but .... how would I tell him about my flashbacks... anyway I don't want to lie or hide anything from him.

I called Masson.

*on call*

MASSON: heyy.

STELLA: hey.. how are you.

MASSON: fine wbu?

STELLA: fine*sarcastically*
Masson I am leaving for California tomorrow and I want you to go with me.

MASSON: for what?

STELLA: umm. It's okay if you don't want.

MASSON: no no! I didn't mean that .. we will have a good time there..Why not!

STELLA: okay then see you at 8:00 am!

MASSON: Bye!

Both of them were excited and Masson was planning his.

first kiss!
