She sighed, listening to the other people around. Lots of yelling and... yeah. She didn't know. She turned when she heard Kenzie coming to the door. She knew it wasn't Lucy because the footsteps would have been lighter and Cody was at work. She gave Kenzie an awkward smile when the girl asked if she missed her already. [b]"All the time, Kenzie."[/b] Stella responded dryly shaking her head. 

She felt Kenzie's weight shift as if she was about to do something but then hesitated. 

[i]What?[/i]

[b]"I'm gonna grab your hands, okay?"[/b] Kenzie asked Stella. Stella tensed up, both from the thought of being touched and the thought that maybe Kenzie knew. 

[b]"N-no."[/b] Stella stammered through her nerves before being whisked away. Stella's eyes shot open as she was pulled through the flat. 

[i]N-Not okay! Not okay! SAY SOMETHING.[/i]

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Kenzie whispered something into her ear, [b]"I think Lucy's scared of you, and I want her to see you're not scary… well, most of the time."[/b] Again, Stella tensed up. 

[i]Scary? I'm not scary. Other people are scary.[/i]

She pulled away from Kenzie and began to walk where she thought the door was. In her nerves, she forgotten to keep track of what direction the door was in and so.. she fumbled around, trying her best not to cry. As she walked, try her best to convince them she wasn't blind and that she wasn't crying, she stumbled on something on the floor and fell onto the couch, her face planted into a pile of what she assumed to be pillows. Moving her feet around, she felt the culprit, a blanket piled up on the floor. 

[b]"I'm... o-okay."[/b] She stammered, her voice shaking quite a bit now but muffled in the pillows.

[i]Yeah, totally not obvious now, bimbo. If Kenzie didn't know, she did now and soon Lucy would. Great...[/i]

Stella turned around and planted her ass firmly on the couch, placing her hands in her lap in attempt to recover. [b]"I just... wanted to sit on the couch. Relax? You know?"[/b] She told them, laughing awkwardly. 

[i]Crisis averted? Maybe?[/i]
