Part 23

Starla's pov

I wipe my tear stained face, I dont know what to feel anymore. Maybe I just really  didn't know Magnus... I thought I did but I was just being stupid and naive.

I decide to call it a day and make my way back home. I climb onto the bus taking a seat in the back, Patricia is probably worrying about where I am so I pull out my phone and send her a quick text.

Minutes later I'm home ,I decided to bleach my hair later since I have nothing better to do. I put down my bag and sit on my bed, I've been so stressed lately... I just want to get away for a while.

I slowly fall asleep and decide to take a well deserved nap.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

I wake up to my phone ringing hours later. I stretch my arms over my head before grabbing my phone from my bag. I check the time I've literally been asleep for four hours... oh well.
I see Magnus calling and I debate whether to answer or not... maybe he wants to apologize.

I answer the phone "hello" I say my voice still groggy from sleeping. "St...Star... I need you" I hear Magnus plead he sounded so desperate I knew something must be wrong. "Magnus... where are you" I ask fully awake now, "I'm outside your house"...

Shocked I quickly run to the window by the front door and sure enough I see him. I hang up the phone and unlock the front door, I slowly walk to him. He wraps me up in his arms with his head in my neck. "Just... let me hold you" he whispers so I let him I gently rub his back as he sobs.

I see one of his hands bloody and bruised "Magnus... you are hurt" I pull him inside the house and bring him to the bathroom. It's a good thing Martha isn't home yet... that would be a major disaster.

I run to the closet hallway and pull out a first aide kit I make my way back to him. I gently grab his bloody hand and start to clean it he hissed in pain "sorry" I mutter.

I continue to clean his hand and wrap it up. When I'm finished I start putting  the stuff away, magnus continues to stare at me. "Star... I'm sorry.." I just nod my head not making eye contact. "I never meant to hurt you... and I feel like a douche bag"... he grabs my chin softly so that we are making eye contact.

"What happened"... I asked him he let's go of my chin. He doesn't say anything and it turns quiet, "you don't have to tell me"... I continue. He looks at me "I promise to tell you... when the time is right" he gently cups my cheek with his good hand.

I feel my cheeks start to heat up before I make my way to my room. Magnus follows and decides to stand by the doorway. "What did you mean when you said you never wanted to see my face again" he asked deeply staring at me. I gulp before answering  "you are... so confusing and I don't know what you want from me" I reply candidly.

Its true that I don't really understand Magnus and maybe its my fault. "I dont want anything from you... I just want your company" he answers gruffly I check his face to see if he is lying but he seems dead serious.

I start to think about Martha and his intentions with her. "You said you and Martha are not together... but" I stop choosing my words carefully, should I bring up the pregnancy. "Me and Martha have fucked around, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in her" he answers back defensively.

I don't say anything as I look at the ground. I don't really want to bring up the so called pregnancy... what if Martha is lying. But if I don't bring it up I'll forever be curious because Martha never tells me anything.

Magnus walks towards me and tugs me up from the bed. "There is nothing to worry about I mean it when I say I enjoy your company" he pulls me closer until we are eye to eye.

I gulp as I look at his luscious lips, damn him for being so attractive. It all happened so fast as our lips connect.

Let's just say I was on cloud nine.
