Complicated Love

Chapter 10

Since that incident, Lizz often bullies me, I'm afraid of her because she's a popular girl on Instagram and at school. Whatever she does, people will always trust her more than me. More and more people hate me because Lizz says bad things about me. I don't understand why she did that and what her purpose was. Besides, if I report her to the principal, I'm sure the principal won't act because Lizz is very rich. She must have bribed the principal to defend her. Looks like I have to be more patient and focus on my studies. After all, tomorrow the New Year holiday starts. I think it's good news because during the holidays I don't have to see Lizz's face for a few days.

"Okay students, this is the end of today's lesson. Happy holidays and don't forget to do the assignments that I give you." Said the teacher.

"Hey Stella, lesson is over, why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing Caroline, I was just thinking how fun my holiday would be because I didn't have to see Lizz's face HAHAHA."

"I really really hate her. She spreads untrue rumors about you to everyone. I scolded her several times but people always defended her."

"Forget it caroline, we can't possibly win against her."

"You're right Stella, by the way, during the holiday I will go back to my hometown to visit my grandma with my family."

"What? No, I must be lonely because I can't play with you during the holiday."

"Don't be sad Stella, after all we always play every day. Not seeing me for a few days shouldn't be a problem right?"

"Yayaya have fun Caroline."

Today is new year's eve. Usually I would go for a walk with Caroline, but right now she's in her home town. I'm very bored at home alone, I'd better take a walk, But... It's already night, is it okay if I walk alone? Forget it, it doesn't seem like there's a problem, besides, I'm used to walking alone. What bad things would happen to me. Alright time to go.

Stella went for a walk alone to see the atmosphere on New Year's Eve. As she walked, she saw an alley she had never seen before.

Since when was there an alley here? I'm curious where this is going.

Stella entered the alley.

This alley is very quiet and there is no house here. I'd better get out of this alley because there are no people here at all.

"Hey beautiful girl, where are you going at this time of night?"

"good evening, I'm just walking sir." Stella answer.

"Are you alone?"

"Yes sir."

The man get closer to Stella and push her.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"The man strangled her and touched her."

"AAA let me go you damn old man."

The man slapped Stella and kissed Stella's neck forcefully. Then, Stella tried to fight back but the man was annoyed and strangled Stella tightly. Stella didn't give up, she kicked the man and scream.

"No one will hear you here darling, this alley is very quiet and no one lives or passes by here."

"Don't call me darling you bastard old man!!!"

This man tried to rape me. I had to try to get away from him, but no matter how hard I try he is so strong I can't let go.

"ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME!!"

Oh, no... This man tied my hands. I tried to fight him but he still managed to tie my hands. I'm so exhausted, I think I'm going to give up now. Looks like I have no other choice.

"You look calm after I tied you up darling are you giving up? HAHAHA."

The man began to unbutton Stella's shirt but suddenly someone hit the man's head with a brick and made the man faint.

Who's that? Someone finally help me? I'm exhausted, my eyes are dim and I can't see the person who is helping me clearly.

"Stella wake up, let's get out of here."

How does he know my name, I don't know why but I can't move and speak, my body is very stiff.

"Stella Hey, Stella answered me! Looks like you're traumatized, let me carry you."

The boy carried Stella out of the alley and took her to the park.

"What are you doing there? You are so silly, why did you go to that alley alone?"

"Enzo, is that you? Are you the one who helped me?"

"Of course I am, then who do you see now?!"

How could she ask that, could it be that she was so scared that she couldn't see who was helping her?

"Enzo..." Stella hugged Enzo while crying.

"Thank you for helping me, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't come."

Enzo hugged Stella back and calmed Stella down.

"What are you doing there Stella?"

"I was walking and I saw an alley that I had never passed before. I was just curious where it was going and went into it."

"You're so silly Stella."

"How about you? What are you doing there?"

"The reason is the same as yours."

"You said I was silly, but you did the same thing."

"It's very different Stella, I'm a boy and you're a girl. Next time don't go alone at night okay."

"Alright Enzo, thank you for worrying about me."

"Stella, are you still afraid?"

"Not at all, I'm not afraid anymore when I'm near you. I'm very happy to know that you are the person who helped me."

"It's New Year's Eve, stop crying stella, let's go for a walk to forget what happened earlier. Do you want to go with me?"

"Sure Enzo."
