Stella

"But I've tried father, it is next to impossible, it's a delicate situation that I'm afraid has already been broken"

Oh, my father just won't hear me out. I've explained to him a thousand times that this just isn't to work, but he's just not listening.

"Stella, it's unlike you to give up so easily, I had more faith in you" Father speaks. Last night with Hudson has just made me remember what a idiotic idea this is.

"But it's not giving up father, he's impossible to get through to" I defend.

"Trying once is not enough" He forces. Can't my father see that I no longer want to do this, conversing with Hudson would make me have to pretend to like him and I'm not a pretender.

I say nothing else to my father as my mother comes down the stairs. I sigh deeply before getting the car with her.

"Father isn't listening mother, he thinks I'm a coward" I complain to my mother. "I don't want to speak to Hudson anymore"

My mother stops at the red light before replying, "Just do this for him please Stella"

"Great. So niether of you are on my side, maybe Issac will think differently"

I couldn't wait to get to school and complain to Issac about how my parents have been treating me unfairly, I would call but I'm not allowed to have a phone. Mother says it's a distraction.

"You can not let Issac know, too much people complicates the mission" She says.

I turn around in my seat after my mother denying me freedom for the hundredth time. This is all because of Father's greed and whatever the outcome is, he deserves it.

How do I even begin to have a relationship with Hudson?

"How do I do it?" I ask her for advice as she or father isn't letting it go.

"Do what?, love" My mother questions.

I use my hands to aid in pushing out the words, "Be...nice" I let it out.

"Just hold back all the defensive lines you would normally use" My mother responds.

I nod. "I'm giving this one more try and if it doesn't work and if father hates me for this, I don't care, I'll be done with it" I'm sure to be confident in my words as there is no convincing me otherwise.

I leave mother in the car and get out, walking up to the school, as I arrived here early I made my way to the library where I would read until class started.

On the way to the library, I saw somebody sitting on the stairs.

"Can you not sit there while I'm trying to walk? Can you please remove your body from the stairs?" I repeat as the person seems to have left his ears in his mother's womb.

The person looking up makes me instantly regret my choice of words. It's Hudson.

"I apologize" I say to him but he doesn't answer. I said sorry, what was I suppose to do now?
