Hey everyone.

I hope you like this chapter.

Enjoy!


Chris's POV

Me and Tori are going out on a date in a couple of hours.

I am so nervous, I still have no idea where I am taking her.

Come on, think Chris, think!

Oh! I know, I just remembered there is a new sushi place near here.

Suddenly I hear my ringtone go off.

I've got a message from Tori.


To- me

'Hey, so, where are we going? : )'

From- Tori


To- Tori

'Its a surprise'

From- me


To- me

'Come on! Tell me! Please...'

From- Tori


To- Tori

'No can do Tori, gonna have to wait'

From- me


I check my watch after quickly getting dressed in a pair of grey jeans, a black t-shirt and a dark blue blazer.

I look in the mirror and put some gel in my hair, smoothing it out, before walking out the door to my dad's car.

As soon as Tori sits down in the car she starts asking where we are going.

"Still a surprise Tori" I tell her, smiling, I find myself doing that a lot more around her.

"Awww, you know I hate surprises!" Tori complains, making me laugh a little.

"Calm down, we're almost there" I say, we're only a couple minutes away.

Tori loves sushi so I know she is going to love this place.

She's told me about how the woman in charge of Nozu really hates her and Jade because of something they did over two years ago, man that woman can hold a grudge.

At least at this place she won't have to worry about her food being poisoned or something, although I am sure that Tori was exaggerating when she told me that the woman might try to kill her or harm her in some way, but I dont know the woman and I trust Tori, so if she says the woman's a psycho, then I believe her.


"We are here" I announce when I see the big sign written in luminous letters.

"What is this place?" Tori asks, not familiar with her surroundings.

"This is a cool new sushi place that just opened up a couple of days ago" I tell her, watching the excited expression on her face, although she gets easily excited about a lot of things.

"Awesome, I love sushi!" Tori exclaims, smiling brightly.

"I know" I say.

We walk in through the bright blue doors and are taken in by the other bright colours inside.

"Oh my god, Jade and Stella would have a heart attack if they saw this place" Tori says, reminding me of what's happened with Stella.

What Tori said gets me thinking and I wonder if Beck has spoken to Stella's mum yet.

"So, what do you want to order?" I ask Tori once we are sitting at a booth near a window.

"I'll have the dancing shrimp roll and a soda" Tori says looking at the menu.

I look at the menu until I see something that I like.

A waiter with black hair and tan skin walks over with a cocky smile on his face, his eyes mainly directed at Tori.

"Are you two ready to order?" a waiter says with a pad of paper in one hand and a pen in the other.

"Yes, we would like a dancing shrimp roll, a rising sun roll and two sodas" I reply politely.

I can't help but feel a little jealous when I see the waiter checking Tori out, I dont think she notices because she just smiles and drinks the water we got given when we sat down.


Not long after taking our order and walking to the kitchen he walks back holding our meals and sodas.

The man hands Tori a piece of paper with his phone number on it.

This makes me feel really angry and annoyed, I am just about to give this guy a piece of my mind when the funniest thing happens.

Tori takes one look at the paper and screws it up, crushing both the paper and the boys ego when she throws it in the bin nearby.

"never gonna happen, so why dont you leave me and my DATE alone" Tori says, putting emphasis on the word 'date', and I love how she says all of this in such a sweet voice.

The waiter runs back to where he came from with his tail between his legs, so to speak.

"Oh my god, did you see his face?" Tori exclaims laughing, her eyes lighting up in amusement.

"Yeah, it was hilarious, you are amazing" I say, noticing how much bigger her smile gets once I've finished my sentence.

"This is already the best date I have ever been on" Tori tells me.

"Really?" I ask surprised.

"Yeah, all the guys I've been out with before you have all been self centered and inconsiderate, but you, you're different" she says.

"Different in a good way I hope" I say smiling a little.

"Of course, you are sweet and you dont just talk about yourself all the time, it's a refreshing change" Tori admits before taking a sip of her soda.


Beck's POV

I get lost a couple of times driving to Stella's house because I haven't actually driven there myself before.

When I get there I knock on the door four times and wait.

When the door is opened I am met with a dishevelled and rather tired looking woman.

"Er, hi Mrs. Song, has Stella came home at all?" I ask, hoping she says yes, but guessing from her appearance that I'm not going to like what I hear.

"No I haven't, I haven't seen her since she ran off, I've tried calling her, she won't answer and my brother is searching for her right now, but he's had no luck so far" she says, biting her lip and tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Song, do you have any idea where she might have ran off to" I ask her.

"I guess there is one place she might have gone" she says, she then starts to tell me about a park near the school.

I immediately say goodbye and run to my car.

I break the speed limit driving to the park, but I am not stopped luckily.


As soon as I get to the park I run out my car and sprint through the gates.

I see a dark figure leaning against a thick tree and I run towards it, hoping its Stella.

"Stel!" I call, running towards her once I get closer and recognise her face.

When she doesn't respond I break into a sprint and kneel besides her.

She's lying down and her sleeves are rolled up, when I look at her arms what I see makes me feel sick and dizzy.

She has scars and cuts covering her arm, some of them are new, there is dry blood covering most of her arm.

I quickly feel for a pulse, I breathe a sigh of relief when I feel a steady pulse, but that relief goes away when I realise how icy cold her skin is and how deathly pale she is.

"Stel, Stella, wake up, please wake up" I beg, shaking her gently, avoiding touching her cuts in fear that I will hurt her.

She starts to squirm and cry, pushing me off of her while curling up around herself.

She opens up her eyes and when she looks at me she puts her head in her hands and starts to pull at her hair and talk to herself.

"No, no, this can't be happening, no, he knows, no, no, no" Stella says crying, and hyperventilating, I think she's having a panic attack.

At first I'm not sure what to do, but I decide to first try to stop her from clawing at her hair so I she won't hurt herself even more.

I pull her hands away from her hair and make her look me in the eye.

"Stella, everything's going to be fine, I'm going to help you, please, try to calm down, take deep breathes" I say, taking deep breathes myself and trying to get her to do the same thing.

It takes a while but when she calms down she collapses in my arms, clawing at my top and crying loudly, making my heart break as I hug her and stroke her hair.


When Stella pulls away she looks absolutely terrified.

"Please, dont tell anyone" she says, still crying.

"I'm sorry Stel, I have to, they're your friends and so am I, I want to help you and they're going to want to help you to" I tell her, my heart breaking even more when she hugs her knees to her chest and starts shaking.

"I'm going to go get a blanket from my car, dont go anywhere, ok?" I say, remembering that I have a blanket lying on the passenger seat of my car.

She nods a little while sniffing and whipping her eyes.

"I'll be right back" I tell her.


No one's POV

As soon as Beck turns his back on Stella, she stands up on shaking legs and runs out of the park, trying not to slip over and she runs down the alley, not taking notice of the street sign saying 'spates' and another one near it saying 'eighty third' (the same street from victorious 'terror on cupcake street').

Stella collapses next to a bin that is being used as a bonfire, immediately falling unconscious again.

Just before she falls into unconsciousness, she hears Beck calling her name, but he'll never find her, she'll make sure of that.


Ok, that is it for now.

I hope you liked this chapter and enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I have tried to make this chapter longer than the others, what do you think?

So, who likes where I am going with this Stella storyline?

I've tried to get some Stella and Beck friendship in this chapter because they've never really talked much before in this fanfic.

Also, how is everyone liking the Tris (Chris/Tori)?

Bye everyone.
