Comment, fan ?? I wanted to get a look at David's point of view so anda can see his bond with Stella.
PART 11: DAVID'S POV
I waved as Macy drove away, quicker than she should. Then I went to take a mandi, shower and clear my head. Idly, I wondered about Stella and Claire. How could it be possible for them to be mermaids? Just thinking it made me feel crazy. I was half expecting to wake up from this whole nightmare...or maybe I didn't want to. In truth, I was now in on there secret. Will, was not. So did that mean I had a better chance with Stella? Probably not. I sighed when the hot water ran out and changed in a rush. Why did I care anyway? She was a beautiful girl that any guy would want. She was also part of the magic in being a mermaid, While I was just a boy. A social outcast with a guitar. We were two leauges that did not touch. But at the same time, when I was with her I felt whole. As if she were teh half of me that went missing the hari my brother died. I shook that thought off. I had promised myself that I wouldn't think of him as dead when he went, just on a vacation that he would never come back from. I sighed. If only Mathew were here now. He would know exactly what to do in this situation with Stella and Will. I liked Stella, a lot, but she was happy with Will. When she was with him, her happiness was almost as radiant as the sun. But she could be happy with me , too. I'd seen it. She smiled when we were together. I was able to speak my true thoughts and feelings with her. Something I could not do with Macy. She would only laugh at me. My phone buzzed making me jump. NEW TEXT MESSAGE! NEW TEXT MESSAGE! it beeped. It was from John. 'Band practice, 6:00 tonight. meeting at the Cafe' Damn! I thought it was canceled tonight. Way to warn me 30 menit ahead of time. I thought sourly at John. 'i'll be there' I txted back, kicking on my shoes. I grabbed my bas, bass and keys then headed outside. I put the keys in the egnition and through my gitar in the passenger seat. I drove slowly, not wanting to be early. I lived close enough to walk but I was far too lazy for that. I kept my eyes carefully on the road as I passed Stella's house. I didn't need that distraction right now. Of course! There would be traffic right in front of her house, wouldn't there? My luck, of course. I took an unessesary glance to the left. I could see Stella on the phone through her open living room window. In fact, I could almost make out what she was saying exactly. "No! anda have to keep looking! She's out there, I know it!" I realized the reason I could hear her is because she was shouting. She turned to face me full on, but she couldn't see me. She was looking down, and I could see that see that she was crying. "NO! SHE'S ALIVE, I JUST KNOW IT!" She screamed. That did it. I pulled into her driveway, slowly. "I refuse to believe that!" She yelled, slamming the phone down. I waited a menit before knocking on the door. "Claire?" She asked, sobs in her voice. Man, why couldn't I be Claire right now?! I didn't want to disapoint her with my pressence. "Um, no it's David!" I berkata through the closed door. "David, I'm busy right now. Go away!" She yelled back. I hesitated. "Won't anda open the door, Stella?" There was a pause. The door creaked open slowly, halfway. "Is everything ok?" I asked her. She opened the door a little bit so i could see her tear stained face. I expected her to scream at me and tell me to go away agin, but she suprised me, as usual. "No." She said. And then she stepped out the door and through her arms around me. She sobbed into my shirt. I never notced how much shorter than me she was, and she was even tall for a girl. I akwardly hugged her. 'Stella, it's ok." I tried to calm her down. I could see people in cars staring at us, so I led her into the house and sat down on the dipan, sofa with her. "Stella, shh it's ok. Your fine. What happened?" After another 10 menit of crying she was finally able to talk. The redness in her eyes was fading slowly. "Did anda know my mom went missing last summer?" She asked me, hoarsly. Now that I remembered, someone had told me that.
A kid who's known her a couple years sat oleh me in Science and told me one hari out of teh blue. He must've seen me looking at her. "Yeah." I answered. "The police are giving up. There pronouncing her dead unless she turns up in the selanjutnya month." A tear rolled down her eye. I wiped it away, quickly. The lesser concerned part of my mind noted that tears didn't trigger the tail. "And anda believe she's still out there?" I whispered. She looked positive. "I know she is. I can't explain it." I looked her in the eyes. "Try." She sighed and wiped at her face. "Two years yang lalu when my gramma died, I just knew. I knew before they told me. anda see, to me everyone is a different colored light in my mind. Different personalities to match there color. One morning I woke up and it was hard to think about her. I realized that her light had disappeared. My mom's light isn't gone yet. I know it sounds razy, but it's the best i can explain it." I thought about it for a second. "I believe you. My brother died in a car accident last Spring. In that car, actually." I berkata pointing to my red convertible. "They fixed most of it, but theres still a dent in the fender." We talked for another menit atau so, until my phone buzzed. 'where are you!?' it was from John. Damnit! I forgot all about band practice. "Stella, I gotta go. I have band practice at the cafe. I can come back after it's over if anda want.." Her eyes widened. "Don't leave me!" She said, grabbing my arm. I looked down at her iron grip. "You could come with me, i guess..?" I mumbled. She went upstairs to find her shoes and then we left. Riding with Stella was easier than riding with Macy. She listened to our band's CD the whole way, commenting often. Macy found it difficult to listen to herself on CD and turned off the radio a lot. I pulled in teh lot at the cafe and opened the door for Stella. There was a bright jeruk, orange coloured neon sign on the window that berkata "Don's Café" I walked in and told Stella to sit at one of the chairs up front. I bought her a lemon fizzy drink to occupy her and went around backstage. "Look who decided to tampil up!" Macy said, clapping her hand down on my shoulder. "Bout time." John agreed. "Sorry, I had to run a few errands." I berkata leaving out the part about Stella. Macy looked at me questioningly. I winked and she understood. "I don't see teh point in playing if theres hardly anyone here tonight." Greg mumbled, twirling his drum sticks. "There are plenty of people." John argued, grabbing his guitar. I pulled my strap around my shoulders and secured my bass. We went out to set up things on stage. I could feel Stella's eyes watching us but I looked down, embarassed. Macy took her place at the mic and waved at Stella. She waved back. I rolled my eyes to myself. "Who's ready to rock?" Macy berkata into the microphone. It was a familiar routine. People clapped and cheered in the back. "Alright!" She berkata loudly. Greg started pounding the drum beat and then I strummed my bas, bass just in time. I would have missed mt cue in another second. Greg's gitar wailed from besie me. Through all this noise, Macy's powerful voice was still louder. "Never Hide" Greg and I sang background at the exact same moment. I never knew how we did that. We played two other songs and an encour and it was over. I winked at Stella before we went back stage. I siddenly realized it was a good thing I brought her. I had been in such a daze I forgot Glass Grenades were on after us. they were professional and gonna make us sound crappy, but they were Stella's favorit band. "Good job, cuz." Abby said, walking out on stage. It was weird being related to a famous singer. I watched from backstage as Stella's eyes widened. She looked at me and mouthed "bigail Fawcett!" I laughed quietly and was interrupted oleh John. "David! Are anda lisetening to me?" I turned quickly almost falling over. "Huh?" He glared at me. "I was just saying how much better our band would be with some female background vocalists." I thought acout it for a membagi, split second. "Yeah, that would be sweet." I said. Then I went to sit oleh Stella. I watched in shock as girls from the back inched closer and closer, smiling and pointing at me. Fans? I didn's know we even had fans! "You guys were great!" Stella said, her eyes on teh Glass Grenades. "Yeah, but there way better." I berkata pointing to my couisin. She noticed and winked at me. Stella's eyes widened. "You wanna meet her?" I asked, hoping to plaease her. She grabbed my arm in shock. "Could I?" I laughed. "Yeah, sure." Every touch sent an electeric jolt through my body. I'd had girlfriend's before. And my best friend Macy was a girl, but it didn't feel the same when they touched me. I'd never really liked anyone as much as Stella. After the tampil Abby came around and sat selanjutnya to me. Stella looked like she wasn't breathing. "You guys were good. Your getting there, I might have to get my agent to sign anda soon." She said, to me. Stella looked at her and then back at me. I laughed. "Abz, this is Stella. She's quite a big fan of yours." Abby smiled at Stella and grabbed her hand. "Always pleased to meet a fan. How are you, doll?" She berkata in her quirky voice. "F-fine." She choked out. We all laughed. "I wonder, can anda sing?" I asked Stella. She looked at me, distracted for the moment. "I dunno, what kind of pertanyaan is that?" I smiled. "Just, can you?" She thought it over for a second. "I guess? I dunno! Claire's always been the singer of the group." An idea sparked in my mind. There was no stopping it now. Two girls. Two female backup vocalists? It was possible.
