[Sat.u.r.day, Afternoon]On a rather warm Sat.u.r.day afternoon, Ethan and Kaylee decided that they would spend the day together. The two of them had recently planned this event at work and today was the day of it. He was prepared for it and didn"t want anyone getting in his way, not because he was going to confess, but because he just wanted to spend time with Kaylee.
"What are they talking about?" From far away and dressed in very suspicious clothing, Bella watched her brother and casually followed them around. Having caught onto Ethan"s plan she wanted to find out more about Kaylee.
"What are you doing?" Sadly for her, Ethan knew this situation would happen, and called Owen beforehand to watch and stop Bella.
"Yuck, what are you doing here?" Bella said.
"I should be asking you that." Owen replied. "I"m sure Ethan doesn"t want you stalking him."
"I"m not stalking him. I"m just worried he"ll get injured or attacked by something."
"What a strange sister."
"Oh just shut up already and watch with me."
The two of them watched from afar and followed Ethan and Kaylee around. Waiting outside each shop that they went into and sitting several tables apart whenever they went to eat.
"So… What exactly are you doing?" Owen asked.
"I told you already. What if he gets attacked."
"I"m not an idiot. I"ve known since our first meeting you don"t have to hide anything from me."
"Tsk." Bella kissed her teeth. "I knew I should have killed you back then. I didn"t think you"d become this much of a nuisance."
For those of you that are interested, Bella is currently 14 and already wishes to murder Owen.
"I don"t have to be here you know. I can leave you on your own."
"Good." Bella replied. "I never asked you to be here. It"s only my stupid brother that forced you to come. Just go home already. No one wants you here."
Bella"s harsh tongue was something she developed a long time ago. She often upset many people and lost friends because of it. However, the person she was talking to this time, had already faced much worse insults and hated himself much more.
"Nah, I think I"ll stay. It can be quite lonely by yourself."
"Fine. Do whatever."
They continued to follow behind, nothing interesting ever happened. Kaylee and Ethan visited shops, they sat down and talked, and it repeated.
"What are they doing?" Bella pulled out a pair of binoculars to get a closer look at the situation.

"Hey, can I ask something?"
"What is it?"
"Why do you care for Ethan so much? Can I even call it caring? I feel like it is caring?" Owen asked.
"I have no reason to tell you."
"True. I was only asking."
The two stood in silence as Bella never moved from her spot, watching their movements.
"Can I ask you something else?" Owen said breaking the silence.
"What? What is it?"
"What are you going to do when Ethan moves out?"
"Errggg. Why do you keep asking me these questions."
"I"m just curious." Owen said.
"Fine! I"ll tell you! If it will make you happy. I"ll tell you."
Owen stood with a smug expression on his face, Bella kicked his shins before exclaiming her hatred towards Owen.
"This is why I hate you." She said.
"When I was in school, I was bullied. Ethan always stood up to those bullies. He was much older than me so he protected me. I always felt bad because as I grew up I built distance between us. He protected me but I acted as if I didn"t need his help and said some mean things to him. We haven"t been the same since. Eventually, the bullying stopped but I was never able to have the same relationship I had before with him."
"What a sad story." Owen replied with zero emotion.
"Well, that"s it. So please leave. I don"t want to hear any more from you."
"Why does it matter if your relationship hasn"t gone back to the way it was before." Owen said "Things change but Ethan still cares about you. I mean, I don"t have any siblings but it"s obvious that Ethan loves you. He probably just feels awkward around you. Sometimes he speaks about you at school, honestly, I don"t care about what he says. But when we speak badly about you, he gets annoyed and defends you."
"Hmmm… You guys say bad stuff about me?" Bella replied.
"Well, If that"s what you want to take from that then go ahead. I"m off home. Have a safe journey back and protect Ethan from getting attacked, I guess."
"W-wait." Bella ran after Owen. "You can walk me home."
"Excuse me? Why should I do that?"
"Because I want to tell you something. I don"t know if I should but I"m going to tell you because it"s you."
Owen didn"t know what to think. He hadn"t heard those words before and usually used experience to live his life. He had read books about this situation so he had a rough idea about what to say.
"Ah, Sorry, I don"t see you that way."
"Errgg. You idiot, that"s not what I meant."
"What did you mean then?" He replied.
"What do you think about Kaylee and Ethan as a couple?" Bella asked.
"As a couple? I mean, I"ve been trying to get them together for a while now. I"ve tried everything I can think of just for him to ask her out, but he won"t for some dumb reason. But, I do think they"ll probably make a good couple. I support them."
Bella stood facing Owen as he began to leave again.
"W-wait… One last thing."
Owen stopped and turned around to face her. He could see the battle happening in her mind, she was torn apart and didn"t know what to do.
"Will you get them to end up together?" She asked.
"Don"t know if I can get them to end up together, this isn"t a fairy tale."
"That"s not what I meant, Idiot. Can you get them to confess."
"I"m not G.o.d. It"s up to Ethan if he confesses or not."
"She likes him." Bella said. "She has feelings for Ethan."
Just like before Owen had no idea what to do. He thought back on all his knowledge of romance from all the books and TV but couldn"t find anything. His internal memory was overheating.
"Well, good for them." He said awkwardly, resulting back to his default state of awkwardness.
"I"m not lying." Bella said. Anyone could see she was having trouble expressing it. It hurt her to admit it but perhaps Owen already knew this.
"I believe you." Owen said. "I"ve had my suspicions for a while now. She seems to be more open to his invites and they seem to talk a lot more now. So, I believe you."
"Can you make sure he is happy?" Bella said.
"Ew, shouldn"t you be saying that to Kaylee and not me."
"You know what I meant. Just make sure Ethan confesses, Ok? And make sure that he doesn"t fail. If he ends up getting rejected you"ll be the one that dies, ok?"
"Yeah yeah. This family certainly does owe me a lot of favours." Owen said to himself as he walked back alone. "Now then, I should try and come up with a plan. Perhaps something to do with the end of year prom?"
