Chapter 42 Moving Forward

Flora came inside the room while carrying a glass of water, "Have some water!" She told Stella. "Thank you!" Stella answered and accepted the water from Flora. "Are you fine now?" Tyros asked her, but Stella couldn't answer him right away. 
Stella drank some water and put the glass on the side table, "I am just wondering why he is here?" She asked and looked at Brandon, who was watching them. "He's with me when you freak out." Tyros answered, and Stella nodded her head.
"Then you can leave now!" Stella told him, and Brandon hesitated to leave. "But I want to stay!" Brandon told her, which made Stella smirk at him. "You aren't welcome here!" Stella said, and no one dared to speak.
They became quiet for a while until Flora got some strength to speak, "You should sleep again!" Flora told her, and Stella nodded her head. "You can sleep beside me." Stella told her, and Flora smiled at Stella. "Yeah, I will sleep after you." Flora answered.
Stella decided to sleep again and didn't mind them if they were looking at her. "Let's go outside!" Flora told them and went to the door. She opened the door, and Tyros followed her outside. "Can I talk to her for a while?" Brandon asked Flora, which made Flora glare at him. "She's already sleeping!" Flora told him and shook her head in disbelief. 
"I will wait until she wakes up!" Brandon answered, "What are you going to tell her, huh?" Flora couldn't stop herself from being mad at Brandon. "I want to explain a lot of things." Brandon answered, which made Flora smirk at him.
Flora didn't say anything and just nodded her head, "Just wait until the sun rises." She said and turned around. "You need to be cool!" Tyros added and followed Flora into the kitchen.
Stella couldn't sleep again even though her eyes were closed, "Why is he always showing up?" She asked herself and opened her eyes. She combed her hair and sat on her bed. "I need to rest!" She told herself and slammed her body on the bed.
Morning came and Brandon woke up from sleeping on the couch. He saw Tyros sleeping on the floor with Flora. "Dang! I used to sleep here alone." He told himself and stood up from the couch. He went to the bathroom and washed his face, "And you are still here!" He was startled when Stella showed up as soon as he left the bathroom.
"You scared me!" He murmured, which made Stella smirk at him. "I told you to go home, right?" Stella told him, and Brandon nodded his head. "But I need to talk to you." Brandon said, and Stella shook her head in disbelief. "We don't need to talk!" Stella told him and walked into the main door.
"Where are you going?" Brandon asked her and followed her outside the house. "If you don't want to leave then I will leave." Stella answered while walking away, "But you are still weak!" Brandon warned her.
Stella didn't stop walking until she reached the woods, "Stop following me!" She yelled at Brandon, but Brandon kept following her. "I told you to stop—
She couldn't finish what she was saying when Brandon showed up in front of her. She was caught off guard, "How did you do that?" She asked in her low voice. "Just give me some minutes!" Brandon told her, and Stella didn't have a choice.
They stopped walking, and Stella kept some distance between them. Brandon noticed that Stella didn't want to stay close to him. "Whatever happened to me and Daisha, it is not your fault." Brandon started, and he caught Stella's attention. "It is my fault and I am going to fix it." He added, and Stella was just listening to him.
"I'm sorry for everything I have done—
"Stop apologising! It makes me irritated with you." Stella cut what he was saying, and Brandon just nodded his head. "What do you want me to do?" Brandon asked her, and Stella didn't say anything for a while.
"I want you to stay away from me." Stella told him, which made Brandon look at her intensely. 
They looked at each other until Brandon gave up and nodded his head. "Is that what you want?" He asked her, and Stella nodded her head. "That's the best way that I can think." Stella told him, "Then I will never show myself again." Brandon told her while nodding his head.
"It is for the better!" Stella told him right away. "Goodbye!" Brandon said and started walking away. He didn't want to look back, but his mind kept bugging him to look back.
"If she's still there, I will pursue her!" He told himself and turned around. He felt something stab him when he saw Stella walking away too. She didn't stop walking nor turn around to see him. "She really hates me!" Brandon said while watching Stella leave.
Flora woke up and noticed that Stella wasn't around. She immediately tapped Tyros' face to wake him up, "She's not here!" Flora told him. "Stella?" Tyros asked her, and she nodded her head. They immediately stood up and checked on her room.
"Dang! Where is she?" Flora asked while looking around. They were startled when the main door opened, and Stella went inside. "Where have you been?" Flora asked her right away, "I walked outside to get some fresh air." Stella answered and went to the living room. "How about Brandon?" Tyros asked her.
"He left already!" Stella answered and sat on the couch. "I want to eat something!" She added, and Flora nodded her head. "What do you want to eat?" Flora asked her, "I want to cook though!" Stella told her.
"Then I will help you!" Flora told her, and Stella nodded her head. "Let's go to the kitchen!" Stella said and stood up from the couch. "I will stay here!" Tyros told them and sat on the couch. 
Stella and Flora went to the kitchen and started looking for some ingredients. "Dang! We don't have any supplies!" Stella said while looking inside their fridge. "Should we go to the grocery store?" Flora asked her, which made Stella look at Flora. "We don't have any choice." Stella answered, and Flora nodded her head.
They went back to the living room, and Tyros immediately stood up. "What happened?" Tyros asked them, "We need to go to the grocery store!" Flora told him. "Oh! We can do that!" Tyros said while nodding his head.
They left the house and went inside the car. Stella was sitting at the back and fastened her seatbelt. "I heard that Alpha Raven will visit you tomorrow with your father." Tyros said before starting the engine. "Where did you hear that?" Stella asked him right away. "My father!" Tyros answered, and Stella nodded her head.
"I need to clean the house later." Stella said and looked outside the car. Tyros started driving away, "We can help you!" Flora told her, and Stella looked at Flora. "Nah! You already did a lot for me." Stella told her, and Flora immediately smirked at her. "You shouldn't refuse my help, Stella!" Flora told her, and they reached the grocery store.
Tyros was pushing the cart while Stella and Flora were looking around. "I need something to cook for tomorrow." Stella said while looking around, "What are you planning to cook?" Flora asked her. They both stopped walking, and Stella looked at Flora. "I don't have any idea! Help me!" Stella answered, and Flora nodded her head.
After a couple of minutes lurking around every corner of the grocery store, they finally finished getting what they needed. They were in line at the cashier when they saw Sky walking with a woman. 
"Dang! That's my brother!" Flora said while pointing out his brother, "He's with my sister?" Tyros said and looked at Flora. "Dang!" The only word that came out of Flora's mouth. "We should call them!" Stella said and waved her hand at Sky. 
Sky immediately saw them and walked in their direction. "I didn't expect to see you here, Stella!" Sky told her, and Stella smiled at him. "Nice to see you again! It's been a long time since we saw each other." Stella told him, "Yeah, Theo is doing his best to guard you." Sky told her, which made Stella laugh at him.
"You are just overreacting!" Stella answered while laughing, "You are with Sadine?" She added, and they looked at Sadine. "Yeah, she came with me." Sky answered and instructed Sadine to greet them.
"This is the reason why you are always not at home!" Sadine said while looking at Tyros. "I'm just fulfilling my duty!" Tyros answered and smirked at his sister. "What duty, huh? You don't have any work though." Sadine told him, and Tyros was going to answer his sister but Flora stopped him. 
"I'm sorry for keeping Tyros busy with me." Flora told her, and Sadine immediately shook her head. "Hey, I'm just kidding! It is fine!" Sadine told her, and Stella was watching them. 
"I saw Daisha earlier!" Sky said, and he caught Stella's attention. "Where?" Stella asked him, "She's living now in our office." Sadine added.
"She didn't want to go home because she will just meet Brandon there." Sky said, and Tyros shook his head. "Brandon is living in the mansion now." Tyros told him, "You are just defending your friend!" Sadine told her brother. 
After catching up, they went back to paying for their groceries. Stella got her wallet and paid for all of the items. They were in the parking lot when someone called Tyros' phone. "Are you going to visit your sister?" Flora asked Stella while they were waiting for Tyros. "I would like to but I know that she didn't want to see me." Stella answered and caressed her hair.
"Why don't you try it?" Flora asked her again, which made Stella look at Flora. "Should I do that?" Stella asked her too, and Flora nodded her head. "I will visit her after Alpha Raven visits me." Stella said, and Flora agreed with her.
Tyros went back to the car and they left the parking lot. They were on their way back home when Tyros noticed that someone was following them. "We need to change our route." Tyros said, which made Stella and Flora confused.
"Why though?" Flora asked him, "Don't panic but someone is following us." Tyros answered and looked at the side mirror.
Stella looked at the back and saw an unfamiliar car, "What route should we take?" Stella asked him. "The mansion!" Tyros answered, and they didn't ask any questions to Tyros.
They almost reached the gate of the mansion when a car stopped in front of them. "Stay here!" Tyros told them, but Flora shook her head in disapproval. "I will be your lookout!" Flora told him, and Tyros took a deep breath. "I will help you!" Stella said, but Tyros immediately shook his head.
"If they attack me, drive my car into the mansion." Tyros said, and Flora shook her head. "I will never leave you!" Flora told him. They were startled when someone knocked on the window. The car was tinted and no one could see them inside the car.
"Remember what I said, Stella!" Tyros told her, and Stella nodded her head. "No—
Flora couldn't finish what she was going to say when Tyros went out of the car. "Please, Stella!" She told Stella, "I know!" Stella told her.
They were watching Tyros talking to someone when they felt that some men were lurking near their car. 
"Lock the door!" Stella told Flora, but Flora refused. Stella immediately locked all the doors when someone tried to open them. "Stella!" Flora told her, and Stella smiled at Flora. "Go to the mansion and call for help!" Stella said and unlocked her door.
Flora couldn't stop her until Stella got their attention. Stella looked at the car even though she couldn't see Flora. She nodded her head and that's when Flora drove away.
"What are you doing here?" Tyros asked Stella, "Helping you!" Stella answered and looked at the men.
