Chapter 19
Stella's POV.
I was about to head home one day after school when I heard a sniffing sound.
At first, I didn't pay attention to it and was about to walk away when the sound increased.
I was confused.
What's going on? I thought.
Then I Walked towards the studio and there I saw a struggling Steva.
She was having a hard time breathing, she was grabbing her chest in pain.
Disregarding everything else, I ran towards her and helped her up.
" What happened? " I asked her.
" I... Attack. " She managed to say and then it Dawned on me that she was having an asthmatic attack but why all of a sudden?
And most importantly why didn't she use her inhaler?
As if sensing my questioning gaze,
" I couldn't, .... Find it... "
" What the fuck! " I cursed inwardly.
How can she lose her inhaler?
Wait, what if?
" Stella think! " I urged myself inwardly and then I remembered that I got a brand new inhaler inside my bag.
My Dad bought it from Germany during his travel visit.
I was planning to give it to Steva as a gift but well I forgot about it since we weren't that close anymore.
Quickly, I unbuckled the straps on my bag and began searching for the inhaler.
I found it in time and quickly handed it over to Steva who was at this time on the verge of breaking down.
She took it and inhaled it softly.
She was able to calm down later on and felt better.
When I realized that she was alright, I took my bag which was left on the tiled floor, dusted it a little, and then strapped it around me and was about to leave quietly when a soft voice stopped me.
" Thank you. "
I stared back at her and just nodded.
" En. "
I left immediately after this.
I walked downstairs and saw Jack there, he was having a chit-chat with my driver in the school car pack.
" Hey, Ella, What took you so long? " He asked in a concerned tone as soon as he saw me.
" ER, something came up. " I said.
" Sorry for keeping you waiting. "
" It's Alright. "
" Good day, Miss. " My Driver greeted me.
" Good day, Uncle. " I replied with a smile. " How are you doing today? "
" Am completely fine, Young Miss, Are you ready to leave now? " He asked.
" Yes, we can go now. " I said as I entered the call through the already opened back sit door.
Jack sat casually in the passenger's seat beside the driver's as always.
The car was about to start when we suddenly saw a figure running towards us. " Please wait up! "
When the figure got to us, I was a little Suprised to see who it was.
I whined down the window on my side so I would be able to talk to her.
" Hey. " I greeted her casually as if I didn't just see her upstairs a while ago.
" Hi, can you please drop me off at home? " She asked in a polite tone.
It's funny how we've become so distant.
" Sure, hop in. " I said opening the door for her.
" Oh, thanks. " She smiled as she entered.
She sat beside me.
I told the driver to start the car and he complied immediately.
We journeyed in silence.
I could see Jack's raised eyebrows from the front.
I knew instantly that I have got a lot of explaining to do.
We dropped Steva off at her house at Green land Estate.
Now it was Me, The driver and Jack left in the car.
" What was that about? " He asked me.
" Nothing much, exactly as you see it. " I replied with a shrug.
" Oh? I thought you guys... " I didn't let him finish his sentence before interrupting him.
" I would have done the same for anybody alright? " I defended.
" I see, I just hope that you'll be careful and not let yourself get hurt again. " He said with concern laced in his tone.
" Rest assured that I won't. " I replied with a genuine smile.
He simply nodded.
***
Steva's POV.
Oh my God! I almost died today.
If not for Stella's timely intervention then I didn't know what would have happened to me.
But wait, how did my inhaler leave my bag?
I always made sure to have two with me whenever I go to school.
One in my pocket and the other in my bag.
I forgot to take one today but the other was supposed to still be in my bag so what happened?
How come it disappeared?
Then I remembered Tina's words.
<< Are you asthmatic, Steva? >>
But she wouldn't do something as cruel as that to me, right?
Or so I thought.
I lied on my bed after taking a shower and slept off.
Then I had a dream.
I saw Stella and me in a beautiful garden, we were sitting on a swing made of wood and Iron.
" Why did you come to save me, Stella? I thought you were still angry with me? "
" Angry? I am not angry at you and yes, I came to save you by coincidence. " She replied.
" But why do you always appear to save me from danger? " I asked curiously.
" Well, perhaps it's because I happened to be your guardian angel. " She said jokingly.
But something in me believes that it might be true
