Hes Here.

They Both Look Towards The Door To See Aiden, “What's Wrong?” Anthony Asked As He Looked At Aiden, “Your Dads Here,” Aiden Whispers Staring Into Stella's Eyes. “He's Looking For You.” Aiden Says, “Where Is He?” Anthony Asked, “Talking To Faith.” Aiden Mumbles, “Stay Here.” Anthony Whispers To Stella As She Shakes Her Head But He Just Ignores Her & Walks Out The Room With Aiden. Stella Stares At The Door Scared It Won’t Be Anthony Next Time It Opens. Anthony Walks With Aiden To Where Their Sister Is At The Door Talking To Stella's Father. “You!” He Says When He Sees Anthony, Anthony Sighs Before Forcing A Smile. “Yes Sir?” Anthony Says When He Really Wants To Kill Him For Hurting The Girl He Loves. “Where Is My Daughter?” Stella's Father Spat, Anthony Just Stared At Him. Anthony Didn't Understand How He Could Call Her His Daughter After All He's Done Is Hurt Her? Why Would You Hurt Someone You Help Create? That Is One Thing Anthony Could Never Understand. “Stella?” Anthony Question As Stella's Father Looked At Him Like He Was Stupid, “Yes Who Else?” Her Father Asked, “Her Sister Maybe, But I Haven't Seen Her In A Few Weeks. When Did You Come Back?” Anthony Questioned Back, “That's None Of Your Business.” Her Father Mumbles. “You're Lying Cause Her Car Is Outside.” Her Father Says Pointing To The Car Outside. They All Look Outside The Window At Her Car, “A lot Of People Have Cars Like That.” Aiden Says As Anthony Nods Agreeing With His Brother. “Where Is She?” Her Father Asked Again. No One Dared Say A Word, “Answer Me.” Her Father Yelled As He Pushed Anthony Against The Wall, Anthony Hit The Wall Harshly As The Whisky On Her Fathers Breath Hit Him Harshly. Stella Hits A Hard Thump, She Jumps Up. The Only Thing On Her Mind Is Her Father, Shes Scared He's Going To Hurt The Only Person Who Truly Loves Her. She Opens The Bedroom Door Slowly Before Carefully Walking As She Hears Voices Get Louder, She Knows What Shes  Risking But Honestly She Doesn’t Care Anymore. Anthony Has Her Heart, & She Loves Him. She Doesn’t Want Him To Get Hurt Because She Couldn’t Fight Her Own Battles, What Kind Of Person Would That Make Her? She Looks Up As She Sees Her Dad With Anthony Pinned Against The Wall, Her Dad Is Yelling At Anthony. “Dad, Stop.” She Says As Her Voice Starts To Shake. Her Father Looks Up At Her As Does Everyone Else.  “Leave Him Alone.” She Whispers. “Stella Run,” Anthony Said As Stella's Father Punched Him In The Face, Which Started A Huge Fight, Anthony Punched Him Back & Knocked Him To The Ground While Stella Was Yelling “Stop! Please Stop.” While Tears Rolled Down Her Cheeks. They Kept Fighting Until Faith Poured Ice Water On Their Heads While Aiden Yelled “STOP.” They Both Stopped & Looked Around, They Were Both Looking For Stella But She Was No Where To Be Seen. “Where Is Stella?” Anthony & Stella's Father Asked In Unison. “She Left.” Aiden Mumble. “Where'd She Go?” They Asked In Unison Again, “We Don't Know, She Was Crying Then She Ran Outside.” Faith Said As Aiden Nodded. Stella's Father Rushes Out Of The House As Does Anthony. Stella's Car Is Gone & So Is She. Meanwhile Stella Is In An Old Park Near A River. She Sits By The River Crying Her Eyes Out. “Stella!” She Hears Her Dear Friend Yell As She Looks Up. “Are You Okay?” Her Friend Asked As She Sat Next To Her, She Just Shook Her Head Thinking About What Had Just Happen While Tears Streamed Down Her Face. “They Fought, Guela, They Fought.” Stella Said Looking At Her Friend Sadly, “Who?” Guela Her Friend Asked, “My Dad & Anthony,” Stella Mumbles As Guela's Eyes Widen, “Are They Okay?” She Asked, “I Don't Know I Left.” Stella Said As Guela Shook Her Head. “You Know What Your Dad Does To You & You Left Him With Anthony?” Guela Asked As Stella's Eyes Widen Because She Hadn't Realize What She Had Just Did. “Oh My God,” Stella Whispers As She Covers Her Mouth. Guela Phone Started Ringing Causing Them Both To Jump. It’s Anthony.
