Battle Scars

Battle Scars Part 2

The guy slowly went towards Stella’s limp body…he was shocked to see such a young girl…look so weak and do such things. He observed her body…not in the creepy type way but he ran his fingers over the forming scar on her arm that said “Loser”….he could only imagine what she has been through but he shot that out of his mind before picking her up in his arms and walking towards his car. She was small….so fragile…but yet so beautiful. He signed before putting her in his front passenger seat, putting the seat belt over her and shutting her door…he then got in on his side and drove back to his house…he didn’t know why he was doing this or why he even cared but there was something about this girl…answers he wanted….he even wanted to protect her but reasons that were unknown. He didn’t even know this girl but felt something for her…..part of it being sympathy. After a few minutes he pulled up to his house and took her inside, he put her in his guest room…he laid her down and put the covers over her before walking downstairs where he saw his slightly angry girlfriend Ciara.

Ciara-You wanna tell me why the hell I just saw you walk in here with an unconscious girl Nicholas??
Nick-I told you I hate when you say my full name
Ciara-I only say it when you’re in trouble…now explain
Nick-I found her on the street a-
Ciara-YOU BROUGHT A WHORE IN HERE??
Nick-SHH…she’s sleeping up there and I honestly doubt she’s a whore
Ciara-where did you find her exactly
Nick-in an alleyway but that’s not the point. She’s was dressed properly and it’s not like I picked her up on a street corner also I don’t want to sleep with her
Ciara-right ok whatever
Nick-babe you know I love you we have been dating for over a year and it’s been great
Ciara-yea *signs* I love you too but still….theirs a strange girl upstairs. Where is she even at
Nick-in the bed
Ciara-OUR BED??
Nick-lower your voice and yes…it won’t kill us to sleep in the guest room for one day…
Ciara-whatever nick I’ll be in the guest room you can have the couch
Nick-you’re seriously doing this because I want to help someone?? If you would let me finish…I found her in an alleyway-
Ciara-prostituting for money
Nick-NO she was about to shoot herself in the head
Ciara-so you have a suicidal girl upstairs?? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND
Nick-no but you are losing yours…do you hear yourself??
Ciara-yes I do…you don’t know her or what she is capable of. She could be using your for a place to stay and then rob you blind
Nick-she was unconscious when I got to her…if she saw how she looked you wouldn’t think that. You’re judging someone you know nothing about
Ciara-I don’t want to get to know her, she’s a dirty girl from off the street
Nick-wow you really just said that…would you wanna be left on the street?? For all you know she could be sick?
Ciara-boo hoo take her to a hospital and have them deal with her…you don’t know what she has or what she could wake up wanting. This is a bad idea…you don’t need to help everyone, not everyone can be saved Nicholas.
Nick-I think you should go home Ciara
Ciara-your kicking me out?? you CANNOT be serious
Nick-I'm very serious…until you get your mind together you can stay home. I decided to bring her here and help her…not stay with me forever….just wanna see if she’s ok
Ciara-whatever I'm out of here

Ciara picked up her purse before stomping out of the house and slamming the door. Nick shook his head before locking the door and walking upstairs…he went into his room to check on Stella who was still sleeping…..she looked a lot more peaceful then she didn’t when she was in the alley. He then shut the door and walking into his guest room not wanting to freak her out if she woke up, he laid on the bed after stripping out of his shirt and pants…leaving him only in his boxers. He just stared up at the ceiling….wondering the story behind Stella….why she was in the alley and why she had that gun to her head. He knows that she won’t say because she doesn’t know him…it would be weird and too much but he just shook it off before falling asleep.

(The next day 10am….with Stella)

Stella moved a little bit before slowly opening her eyes but then shooting up quickly, surprised by her surroundings. She didn’t remember being in her room….wait….then she realized it wasn’t her room and she started to get nervous and tense up. She relaxed a little but when she still had her clothes on but…still had no clue where she was at…she didn’t know if she was in a mans house or woman’s house but she had to find out no matter how scared she was to find out. what if she person would hurt her??....or the person was crazy person that just got out of jail or something…she just shook her head trying to get those thoughts out. She slowly put her feet on the floor and stood up, she was still a bit woozy from the effects of the drugs she took…but she managed to make her way out of the room. She looked to the left at the wall that was full of pictures…there was a guy and a girl….nice looking couple so she could cross killers off her list…well maybe. She then passed an office…that had cameras and pictures of models…she assumed the person may be a photographer or just had a really interesting hobby. She then walked down the stairs silently in case someone was down there…she froze when she heard water start to run…it was coming from the kitchen.  Stella took a deep breath before walking to the kitchen…she looked around the corner slowly stepping in…she saw a guy….the same guy from the pictures upstairs. He had a fit body….clean shaved face and gorgeous black hair…she didn’t notice she was staring till she heard his voice making her jump and get nervous.
