“From the outer space,” he added.
“What? you got to be kidding me. I came here for the truth, not to hear something crazy,” I laughed off. I believe in cyborgs and outer space, but I can’t go around everywhere and trust whatever anyone tells.
“I am telling the truth and I trusted you, only you,” he shouted and everyone turned to our side. I think he’s serious. I got nervous. “Okay Chris, calm down. I am sorry. I think you need to explain more,” I talked silently.
“I said the truth. That’s all.”
“That’s all. That’s all you are hiding. Then what’s your connection between professors. Why do you have a fight? Why he dies?”
“I have nothing to do with his death. He knows I am not from here and he sees me suspiciously because I already told him I have a mission to finish and it is…” I stopped him.
“Confidential. You can’t share. I know that. So, you met up with an accident and become a cy
I attended the call “Stella, I need you at our lab. Nothing serious but need some help.”I hesitated for a minute. “Yeah, sure coming” I cut the call, and he is standing next to me.“who’s that?” Chris asked.“That’s my friend. I should go now,” I said without looking back.“Mind if I join you”“Why... I mean okay”“Thanks, and other things never talk about me to anyone.” he sounded serious but not threatening.He locked the room, and we reached her house after some minutes. I told the guards that he’s my friend and they let him go inside.“What’s going on, Maddy?”She looked annoyed. “Why you got him here?”“He said, he want to accompany. Is that a problem?”“No but I don’t think I can trust him” she was talking, but he went inside without an invitation. Bella was struggling with some work and he walked towards her.
I opened my eyes and saw Maddy going somewhere out.“Hey, where are you leaving”“I am...” she stammered and stood still. I got up from my bed, confused.“Are you angry that I got Chris here or kissed him? And are you keeping secrets because of who he is. Did you lose your trust in me?” I suddenly spoke about all this.“I didn’t know you kissed him and well, I was about to go to LAPD without your help because you don’t care about that. You should have come yesterday, but you went to see Chris so...” she trailed off.“Yeah, I understand. You go on your own. Fine. Good.”Hey. don’t be mad at me. I thought you were not interested in solving this?” She spoke calmly.“Who said, I am not? I really want to know about that. I am so confused right now” She said nothing and hugged me. “I understand you. trust me. I won’t try to leave you again.”“And also, I don’t see
We walked holding hands together and reached the crumbled looking house and got inside a splendid room.“So, you want to change your clothes?” he took one of his shirts and gave it to me. I hesitated and went inside the bathroom. I am embarrassed about walking out of the room in his shirt, which is above my knees. I stepped out, and he tried not to see me. I sat next to him in bed.“I was just thinking maybe we can take a break like going to a theme park or something tomorrow.”“Really, I never thought you would ask something like that. I’d love to,” he grinned. “I never enjoyed it and I want it to be with you.”“Why me?” these words escaped my mouth.“I don’t know. You make me feel something. I never helped anyone or tried to be nice to others. That’s not who I am. But now I am acting differently when it comes to you.”“Then who you have been before? If not a good person…”
We celebrated like a festival and I have never been this happy. we smiled, laughed, and finally reached the destination. We got out of the car and got the best view. Everyone’s happy around us and more rides to enjoy. I hold on to Chris’s hands and we two walked in front of my other friends.“So, everyone’s going to separate, right?” Bella asked excitedly.“Separate, why separate?”“As a pair or couple,” Scarlet added. "That's good, I take it as a couple," I replied. Me, Chris, in one way, Maddy, Alex in another way.The day went so exhausting and fabulous." I want to go to Ferris wheel now," I asked Chris.“At first we should eat now”“Really, can you eat?” I asked cause he’s a cyborg.“I can, you already saw me eating,” he left me in the crowd and kept waiting. Suddenly someone bumped me in the crowd. I fell a minute, opened my eyes the next moment to see professor Al
“I can’t take you there in this state,” Chris said, not convincing.“Then, I will drive by myself” I yelled and got up with pain in my legs. "Fine, don’t be stupid. I will take you there. Guys, get in the car," he said to me and others. Iam glad he’s convinced. I do know what I have to do.We drove to the grave, and I tried to manage until we reached it. I stumbled to get out of the car. Chris caught me." Thanks." I started walking up to Alaric’s grave. Alaric doesn’t have a family, so we are the only ones who want to know what happened to him. I still wonder why am I searching for who murdered him. I started digging with my own hands because I can’t wait any longer.“Stella, you got to be kidding me. You cannot dig with your hands,” Chris said and everyone joined to dig it. Finally, we reached the coffin. Shivers ran down my spine when I was about to open it.“I can’t do it,” I said, getting my hands awa
“Bloody hell, I’m going to die in a spaceship,” I murmured, closing my eyes, thinking I could go back to the way my life has been. My past is no good to think but neither is this situation. I sat down next to Chris and felt so dizzy. "Are you okay?" Chris placed his hands on my shoulder." I don’t think so. It’s getting hard to breathe".“I don’t think we are going to end up like this. Sorry for fighting with you today. I mean it.” he sounded sad.“I’m sorry too, but it doesn’t matter. Soon I’m going to die without air.”“Don’t talk like that. I have the courage and I can’t lose you.” he hugged me and there’s a sudden collision on the spaceship. Each one of us tried hard not to lose balance. "What's happening? ".“We are going to be saved” Alex sounded happy. He added can see the surface of the earth. we are back. I don’t know-hows that happened, but it did." I rushed to him and I
Maddy grabbed my hand. “Stella, who is she? Where are we? She looks just like me. Then who am I?" there’s a lot of fear in her voice.“Stay calm, Maddy. I think we should escape from this place. It’s not ours to stay,”There’s a noise behind us. The door opened a girl came, “Maddy, what are you doing here? Who are you talking to?" She sounded calm. She took some steps forward and her face is clear to me. It’s me...She has blonde hair till her neck, seems so pretty than me, but she looks at me. Her facial expression changed from calm to anger.“Who the hell are you?” she demanded. I am stuck in the same place. A boy came behind her, stood in front of her like protection. It’s Adam. He whispered something back to her. Now everyone is staring at us.“If we stay one more minute here, they will kill us,” Alex says and made a first move to run. He made it to the entrance gate. We followed him
“Stella,” I heard Chris’s voice whisper in my ears. I slowly opened my eyes and saw him smiling at me. "You seem happy." I questioned him, forgetting all about yesterday’s worries.“Yep, feels happy that I’m seeing your face in the morning,” I blushed. "Yesterday I felt so bad fighting with you. I’m sorry,” I say. He cups my cheeks. “We don’t need to talk about that again. As I promised, I will tell you more about me. My feelings for you will never change.”“Me too. I love you, Chris. I don’t care whether you are a cyborg. I can’t resist my feeling for you, not anymore,” I proposed to him for the first time. Proposing to him was never my intention, but I did. He’s the best thing that ever happened in my life and I don’t want to lose it. Today I made this thing clear in my mind. I don’t know how will I feel if I’m in this situation without having Chris by my side. It feels miserable. Now I’m afraid of what he is going to say. Doe
