Looking at these Block lettered emails on my G***l account I felt so elated and Happy.It was like a dream come true for me.After several days of hard work and sleepless nights I finally got good news on my books... Babies.I suddenly felt very emotional as tears of joy streamed down my face.
" OMG! Why are you crying, Stella? What happened? , Was your book accepted? " Steve threw series of questions at me at once.I had completely forgotten that I wasn't alone in the room.
We were currently in my room at my house... Our room as I would call it as our relationship had gotten deeper into the depths that for my possessions I don't use the word ' My ' but in place of it, I use ' Our ' I had come to believe that whatever is mine is hers and vice versa.Don't get me wrong, we aren't Married couples or lesbians.We are Just Two girls who became best friends..... Twins actually, from different fathers and mothers.
We had different types of blood running through our veins but that didn't matter at all in our relationship." Why are you spacing out all of a sudden, Ella? , What's wrong, you are acting very strange and it's scaring me. " She said in a panicked voice." Well, I... " I wasn't able to finish my Statement as Steve snatched my Android phone from me and before I knew it she squealed." OMG! Stella!!! You Nailed it!!! I am so very proud of you!!! Congratulations!!!! " She jumped on me as we both embraced on the bed, due to the sudden Hug I lost my balance and we both rolled on the bed in a tight embrace.
" I am proud of you, Honey!!! " She said as she began pecking my cheeks." Stop! " I managed to say, Steve was always like that behaving like a child even though she's turning Sixteen this year." Oh, sorry. " She said as she rose from my body." Thanks for the excitement and yes, it's not just my glory and winning but ours. " I said which a smile." Yes, yes, of course, it's ours. " Steve agreed shamelessly.' Shamelessly as always ' I thought.
Well, what I said was logical, it wasn't my glory Alone but the both of us why because Steve was my right hand.She was there with me and for me every step of the way.She was there to motivate me when I became less confident in myself which was a result of me comparing myself with other writers who were more talented and smarter than me as I always say.I'll never forget Steve's words which always serve as my motivation Along with her Warm embrace and comforting hands which always patted my head on anything I feel like I can't take it anymore and burst into tears.Her words were.
<< Stop comparing yourself to other Writers, Ella as this is you, you are writing your own story which no one can write for you, The only writer you should compare yourself with is the writer you were yesterday and not anyone else. >><< All you need to do is to put your heart into Writing, Fill in the emotions, love your characters and you'll see you'll become a great writer someday. >><< Always remember that you are way smarter and more creative than you think, all you have to do is to put yourself in a position and you'll see. >>Her words always worked like magic as I often feel very motivated after hearing them.
Well, it's become kind of cliche but yet the words never lost their power and Magic.Lest I forget, Steve has always been my number one fan as she always made sure to read my book immediately after I finished writing and she also helps me with Editing and she also gives me ideas of what to write.Sometimes I always wonder how I'll be without her, she was my motivation, inspiration, and everything.She's the brain behind my Amazing Writing style as she always claims It's no wonder why I made my Pen name a combination of both of our names.Stelva@16Though the name seems a little boring yet it means a lot to me
..both of us." You are spacing out again! , What's going on in that head of yours! " Once again Steve's voice was heard." Nothing much, I was just thinking of random things. "
" Are you sure? " She asked me, raising an eyebrow, it was as if she didn't believe me." Yes. " I replied." Hm, now that our dreams have come true, why don't we celebrate it? " She suggested.
" Sure, how do you think we should celebrate it? " I asked.
" Hm... " She placed her hands on her chin as if thinking of what to say.
" Wait, why don't we go to the funfair? , We can do some picnic, go to the haunted house, go swimming, dancing, karaoke, and eat some grilled meat? " She said with sparkling eyes." Sure we can do that, When should we go for that? " " Today of course or do you have anything else to do today? " She inquired." Well, I have to Write 5000 words for my daily updates and also to read and review a fellow writer's novel but no worries I can do that when we get back. " I replied.
" Perfect, no let's go and rock the town! " She beamed.I simply smiled even though I was also very excited about what was to come.Author's note. Hey guys! Thanks for reading my Novel, My True Friend to the End. It's an important book to me. The inspiration came to me when I and my best friend broke up due to a huge misunderstanding. We realized that we weren't compatible and just had to break up. I would admit, it still hurts. I still wished that we could get back together but well I don't think that it will be possible as she has moved on and I have too I guess. I want to thank everyone that supported me on this journey. Just so you know, I love you all and will always do. The song recommendation for this book is. 1. What best friends do by Jeiel Damina. 2. Traitor by Olivia Rodrigo. You can check out my other stories. 1. The Better Place. On Good novel and W******l. 2. Caged ( Survival ) on Good novel, M********r, and
Epilogue.Months later." Stella, Steva, our results are out! " Jack and Mark's voice rang out in the room." Wait, what! " Steva quickly stood up from the bed where she and Stella were laid lazily while watching a movie on Netflix." Yes, it's out! " Mark confirmed." When did it get out? We checked it just last night but it wasn't? " Stella who had been quiet all this while asked." Well, it got out early this morning. Not many people know about this information as it's still confidential. " Jack replied." Oh, so how did you know about it then? " Stella asked." My Dad called to inform me about it. " Jack replied with a smug smile." Oh... " Steva and Stella said together." Hm, so why don't we check it together here? You have a WiFi connection here right? "
Chapter 25----- Stella -----It felt like I was in a thick forest.I had been walking for hours but didn't see any living thing apart from the trees and leaves.It feels like I was walking in circles and couldn't come out of the forest.It felt like a force was holding me back from finding my way out.Then, I suddenly saw myself in a large and deep tunnel.At first, as I was trying to get out of it, a force was pulling me back but soon it stopped and I was able to move faster and then I began to see light at the end of it.I began to work towards the light.Continuously I did and everywhere grew brighter and brighter and at the last minute I got out.My eyes opened up slowly and I began to adjust to the light.White ceilings, white walls.These was the f
