I Accidentally Kissed My Bestfriends Brother

10. Pep Rally Pranks

It's Wednesday and as much as I hate to say this... I was wrong. I knew Stella never took drugs, but it took me by such a shock that I just believed that she actually took them. I should've listened to her. She's never gave me any reason not to trust her.

So here I am. Two hours before the pep rally, driving to Stella's house to apologize for my mistakes.

I pull up outside of her house and see her car in the driveway. I get out of my car and adjust my cheer uniform, so I look put together.

"Here goes nothing" I say as I walk onto her front porch and knock on the front door.

"Why are you here?" I hear Easton say as he opens the door, I take a deep breath and release it

"I came to apologize to you and Stella. I've been a bitch lately" I say as I laugh humorlessly "I honestly don't blame you for how you reacted when I told you about the drugs" I say as I give him a small smile.

He stares at me for a long couple of seconds before the corner of his lip turns upwards and he pulls me in for a hug, I hug him back and relax before I pull away.

"Aren't you supposed to be at the school warming up with the rest of the football players?" I ask him in confusion

"I was heading there before you came knocking at the door" he said matter of factly

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll just head up and talk to Stella" I say as I walk past him and up the stairs until I reach Stella's room.

I take a deep breath and knock on the door, but no one answers the door so I walk into her room and see her in the middle of her room rocking back and forth with her arms wrapped around her knees.

I immediately rush towards her and drop onto my knees so that I can pull her into my chest and hug her.

Her breathing was erratic and she had mascara streaks down her face. She had bags under her eyes that looked like she hasn't slept in days. She was in sweat pants and a sweatshirt. She smelt like she hadn't had a shower in a couple days either. I was worried.

I couldn't help but ask. Did I do this to her?

"Shh- it's going to be okay" I say as I rub her back soothingly

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen" I say as I start to get teary eyed

Please don't tell me I caused this to happen.

"Relax Amelia," Stella says sternly

"It's just a panic attack, I'll be fine" she says as she shakily breathes in and out

"I'm not leaving until you calm down" I say calmly as she pulls away from me and looks me in the eyes

"Why? You didn't seem to care when you were practically calling me a drug addict" she says with a hard expression but I understood why

"I know. I was wrong for what I did. I was just so shocked by what they told me, that I didn't want to hear anymore" I say as I look her in her bloodshot eyes

"I do trust you. But what if you were actually doing those drugs, I wouldn't have known what to do" I say as a single tear falls from my eye but I immediately wipe it away.

She suddenly pulls me into a hug as more tears start to fall down my face.

"I care so much about you Stella," I say as the tears start to flow freely now "I don't want to see you hurt yourself or your future" I say as she rubs my back and kisses the top of my head

"I understand" she says causing me to squeeze her waist in a hug of appreciation

"I forgive you, I can never stay mad at you" she says as she pulls away and wipes my tears
