Chapter Two

Stella.

Everything felt like a dream, She couldn't believe what just happened?, She never saw this coming. She felt heart broken, Her eyes were still sore from all the crying.

She stood in front of her house with her luggage she had a last look at the house she grew up in, she had a lot of memories in that house that where she learnt how to ride a bike? That where she cooked her first meal that where she had her first injury, her first cry, her first laugh. The house was big, There was a small garden by the side of the house the gate was painted in black her Father name was beautifully written on the gate “ Saverio”, the fence had electric wires to avoid bandits the floors were marble, the house was painted in white, it was beautiful painted some of the windows hanged open she could see her room from there. She had no place to live she didn’t know what to do?. She quickly took out her phone and texted Aaron.

Message.

Stella- Hey, Can I meet you right now at the park I need to talk to you ASAP.

Aaron- what’s wrong, are you okay.

Stella- Notting.

Aaron- seriously what is wrong.

Stella- I’m fine, can you just come see me now.

Aaron- I will be there in five.

She booked a cab and waited for it, minutes later the cab arrive with the same driver that took her to the hospital this morning, his face showed worry when he saw her.

“Let me help you with your luggage Ma'am” He said while getting out of his car.

“Thank you.” Stella said while entering the car, she couldn’t believe this was happened, she is leaving home, she always saw this coming but never this quick nor this way . Once the man was done, he entered the car and started the car.

“Where to ma'am?”. He asked.

“The city park.” Stella said. Stella knew that the man wanted to ask her questions, she knew he wanted to know what was happening?, He couldn’t stop adjusting his car mirror and looking at her, she was thankful when the car stopped indicating they have arrived.

“We are here ma'am”. The driver said.

“Thank you.”. Stella said, the man helped her with her bags before he left.

She quickly texted Aaron telling him she has arrived and headed inside the park. Stella never had any friends she was always alone, she wasn’t an outcast in school she was known by a lot but none was a true friend to her, when she started dating Aaron a lot of girls envied her which led to people hating on her more, Aaron was the only friend she had. School wasn’t something she cared about she is only in school because of her parents.

Aaron was her home, her life, He was the only one that understood her, he was the only one that knew her real personality, with him she is who she truly wants to be ?.

When she arrived at the park there was no one there, it was empty today, She sat on a chair waiting for Aaron, the park was spacious had swings for children to play on, different varieties of flowers and trees mostly Palm tree which was her favorite, it had a sitting place for parents a lake at the middle of the lake with a beautiful fountain at the center of the lake. She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a voice.

“Hey.” He said whispering into her eyes.

“Oh it you, HI.” She looked so tried and stressed.

“What happened? Did you cry?.” he asked worriedly.

“Yes, but it not anything serious.” Stella said.

"Seriously, you cry and then you say it notting serious." Aaron said.

"It notting serious." Stella said to Aaron.

“Tell me I’m getting worried baby.” Aaron said while holding her hands

“I have to tell you something, I don’t know how you will react? I don’t even know what you will say, will you still be with me or not.” Stella said softly.

“You are scaring me, what happened?.” Aaron asked.

She didn’t know where to start from? So she blurted it out. “I’m pregnant.” She looked down, she didnt have the mind to look at him or to see his reaction.

“Wait, what!?.” He looked shocked, he didn’t know what to say.” I’m going to be a father, I’m going to be a dad in nine months.” He didn’t look happy, he was rather shocked and scared. Stella already had tears in her eyes, she started arranging her luggage to leave.

“Baby where are you going?.” Aaron asked.

“You don’t like me anymore you hate my baby, don't you?”

“What!? No I’m shocked but I’m happy.” He said.

“you are, you are serious but you didn’t look happy.” Stella said.

“Yes, I will love to have a baby with you.” He gave her a hug, and wiped her tears.

“Are you really happy.” she asked again, she wasn’t sure if he was truly happy.

“Yes baby, you know I have already named the baby.” Aaron said while smiling.

“What! We still have nine more months, we don’t even know if it a girl or boy.” Stella said.

“I know, but if it a boy it definitely Harry.” Aaron said while giving her a smile.

“And if it a girl.” Stella asked.

“You name her.” Aaron said.

“How about Lara?.” Immediately she said her name, the clouds became more darker a loud sound of lighting stuck, the clouds became darker and darker.

“Wow. The weather is changing, so we are going to name her Lara.” He said again, Stella wasn’t paying attention, she saw something, she saw a shadow, a shadow of a little girl, she seemed weird.

“Stella, Stella.” He called her name again.

“Yes, I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention I thought I saw someone or something.” Stella said.

“There is notting here we are the only ones, now get your bags I’m taking you to my house.” Aaron said.

Stella wasn’t still sure about what she saw?, It looked so real the girl looked mysterious she seemed different, it was like she looked like a shadow but at same time she looked like a human. Who did she truly see. Stella tried to stop thinking about what she saw? on her way to Aaron house, it like every time she turns she sees her, it was like she was with her attached to her.
