~*Stella*~
“You don’t have to answer me if you don’t want to but why were you shaking when Max walked by earlier?” Alf asked. I thought back to when I looked him in the eyes. My knees gave out and Alf caught me fast. “Stella, what’s wrong?” He asked. I smiled at him.
“It’s nothing, well, I just felt like there was a fight going on in him. A fight for control I guess is the way to describe it. Almost like 2 people in 1.” I thought out loud. “It was intense, and strong.” I added.
“What do you mean? How can there be 2 people in 1 body?” He asked. I looked away from him.
“It’s ok if you don’t believe me. Maybe I’m going crazy.” I said.
“But is there some way to bring out that other person in Max?” Alf asked.
“I don’t see why there wouldn’t be, whatever it is, it’s somehow separate from Max’s emotions.” I answered honestly.
“Ok then. Do you think you can pull it out?”
“I can try.”
“Ok.” He said.
“I’m scared Alf.” I said softly.
“I’m right here with you Stella. I won’t let anything hurt you.” He reassured me.
“Promise?” I asked.
“I promise.”
“Ok, here I go.” I closed my eyes and reached out to Max. I found him but went right past his emotion to the other being.
“What is it?” I heard Alf.
“He is, board?” I said surprised.
“He? Is Max awake?” Alf asked.
“He is just waking up. I mean the being inside him.”
“So can’t it come out?”
“I, yeah, but he isn’t fighting…” I reached my mind out and tried to poke it.
“What? I know you’re there girl. Why don’t you just come out of the shadows?” A bright light appeared over him and I actually saw him.
“I see him! He’s got black hair, a bit longer then Max’s. His eyes are dark blue and he is paleish.” I said to Alf.
“Very good. You know what I look like. This is the form of my soul.”
“Why are you in Max?” I asked him.
“I’m him. I am his opposite.” He answered.
“Why are you so, lonely?” I asked.
“I don’t feel like talking anymore.” He flicked his wrist and it got dark. I felt something burn and I yelled.
“Are you ok?” I heard.
“Whatever you did it hurts, please stop, don’t push me away!” I begged.
“I don’t want to talk anymore.” He repeated. I let it go and my mind flew back to Alf. I fell into him and took deep breaths.
“You ok?” Alf asked after he gently caught me.
“That’s never happened before.” I whispered.
“What, someone being powerful enough to block their emotions from you?”
“Yeah, he pushed me away and it burned me.” I said. Though I didn’t feel it now. It may have just been in my mind.
“Do you know his name?” Alf questioned.
“No…but he is Max’s opposite.” I answered.
“Ok then.” He sounded a little disappointed.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t find out more.” I apologized.
“No, it’s alright.” I hugged him, as if telling him thank you. He hugged back.
“I’ll get better. I won’t let that happen again.” I closed my eyes. “Alf, you’re feeling really warm.” I stated. It felt comforting.
“Because you’re right here.” He said. I didn’t know what he meant.
“I’m cold though.” I said confused.
“Then I’ll warm you up.” Alf said. I could hear a slight smirk in his voice.
“Ok…” I blushed. I felt him pull me a little closer. I was happy. Happy I wasn’t in anyone’s emotions, happy I was with someone I trusted and knew could protect me. It was different then Jenny. I silently cried as I kept my arms around Alf.
“I love you.” I thought he whispered in my ear.
“W-What?” I stuttered, not sure of what I heard.
“I love you.” He said louder.
“Really? But I thought…” I trailed off. He suddenly leaned down and kissed me. I stood there, completely shocked. This really nice, sweet, cute, special, amazing boy liked me. A lot. He pulled back and waited for me to say something.
“So that’s what I was sensing from you. I understand now.” I smiled. He pulled me back into a warm embrace.
“I really like you too.” I confessed.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.” He apologized.
“It’s ok!” I laughed. He really was cute.
“What do you say we try to get some sleep?”
“If you want to, it’s ok with me.”
“Sure.” He decided. I jumped up onto his bed and sat on my knees in the middle of it. He just smiled.
“You’re so happy!” I beamed. His nervousness had gone down, I never noticed it before because it had always been there.
“Good.”
“Oh no…I gotta tell Jenny about this…” I suddenly got worried. Not for me, but for Alf.
“It’s alright.”
“She’ll kill you! And that wouldn’t be good.” I continued.
“She could try.” Alf smiled slyly. I sprang up and jumped on him. As I expected he caught me and held me tight. “Then She’ll have to kill me too!” I put my hand on his cheek, leaned up, and kissed him.
