episode 1

     " Unbelievable! How could you do that to me!? "

Standing inside the room, Stella's tears fall after a long time of holding it.

" Why are you defending her instead of me…. "

" I don't know Chris… I don't know."

" I shouldn't have given you a second chance before. "

A man who's in the conversation with her standing and scratching his head in front of her.

" What do you want me to do!? She's my sister! "

" Do you want me to argue with her just because of a simple opinion!? "

" Opinion!? That's just how you call that? A fucking opinion? "

Chris holds both of her shoulders and tries to calm her furious emotions by talking to her calmly.

" Look, Stella I know she said that you're a burden and worthless to me, but you are not. "

" Trust me, I don't see you that way. "

Stella's voice tries to growl in anger, she can't help but have enough of her feelings. Her tones dropped out of disappointment.

" Don't need your sympathy now Chris. You heard her. Aside from telling everyone that I'm worthless, she said I'm being a bitch to you by going with another man. But Instead of making her stop you just grab my hand and take me away without saying anything!.. "

Thoughts of her 'why's' kept messing inside her head.

Why can't you defend me just for once?.. Why is it always me who has to understand and endure you and your family? Another pair of tears falls through her cheeks. Other thoughts were complaining again and again inside her head.

Can this be still called love?.. Is love really this scornful?.. her thoughts are urging her to throw a hand in his boyfriend's face but she just tilts her head instead and turns away.

" I know I'm wrong for dragging you out there but- "

Chris was surprised after Stella gave him a hard shove off of his hands.

" Enough now Chris. I don't want to hear anything from you again. "

" Stop calling me, texting me, or even further ask me questions. We're done here. "

Chris eyes widened. After seeing Stella stepping further away from him.

" Stella what do you mean!? Don't play that stupid prank on me now. "

Stella stared one last time at him.

" Yeah, thanks for everything Chris. And by everything I mean nothing. "

She keeps her posture for as long as she can, holding another pair of tears until she hits the front of her scooter.

...Fuck you Chris. Despicably muttering to her self.

This is going to be my last thought of you. You don't even deserve to be remembered. Your whole family was against me from the start, without knowing that you achieve those things out of using me as a tool to your success!. They really want me out of your life for good?. I don't greed for any credit, I just want you to stand up for me and defend me. Guess I'll never be able to experience that. After all, I'm just your pretty little decoy as a girlfriend.

" ... I'm so fucking fed up with this..." Saying while hitting the throttle to high speed.

Meanwhile, Chris left there hanging thinking that Stella was just driven by all of her anger. A sigh just came out of him thinking it was another usual fight with her.

One of these days she will talk to me again. I'm so exhausted and annoyed by this over and over again. But I love her. I even left her untouched for four years because of that. She can't even think about that as a kindness from me? I know she loves me too, and she might be saying those shits, but I know she really can't leave me. After all these years... I know you can't leave me behind Stella...

TWO YEARS AGO. " Stella what took you so long! Where are the documents I need to report!? " A deep frown given at Stella while she barely holds into papers and file folders in her arms.

" I'm sorry, I slept late last night preparing this and the traffic jam sucks. "

" Give me that! You know that it's Monday today and rush hour is coming around by this hour. I really thought you would adjust your time. "

" If I knew you would be late I should have gone to your house last night and got it myself. "

Stella didn't blink an eye while staring at the ground on the street making sure she wasn't dropping some papers behind.

" I'll make it out next time, I promise. " handing the pile of papers to her boyfriend.

" Right, I should go now Stell, I appreciate you coming all the way here anyway. I'll be taking you out next time for dinner. Love ya. "

Saying while hurrying his way to a tall building in front of them. Stella is waving her hand slowly with a mild smile while he's entering the front door. Then he is making a call sign with his fingers towards her. Trying to tell her he's going to call her next time.

An immense sigh came out from her mouth after seeing the slow disappearance of her boyfriend. She then starts to walk along the street restlessly.

Come to think of it... Was it even worth all the effort, Stell?... Asking her self inside her thoughts while walking subconsciously on the sidewalk.

Suddenly, she remembers the day when her parents both died in a car accident. Dumbfounded, she stops at the middle of the pedestrian, people keep passing by. She suddenly felt everyone was moving faster and quicker in her surroundings. And an intense whistle from a traffic enforcer wakes her up from being subconscious. She's walking faster as the enforcer's shouting at her looked pissed as her pausing.
