Throwing Stones at Glass Houses
Chapter 4
Stella's POV:
I sat on the counter with my arms still dripping blood. Zack looked up at me, "You need to go to the doctor he said grabbing bandages from the cabinet. I hopped of the counter. "Sit back down," Zack said turning around. I at him. "If you're taking me to the doctor what's the point," I said feeling rage build up in me once again. "Stella, I don't want to fight with you," he said. I looked at him tears building in my eyes. "Don't cry baby," Zack said pulling me into a bear hug. I sniffled. I looked up into Zack's eyes. I stood up on my toes and kissed Zack. Without hesitating he kissed me back. He lifted me up onto the counter and pulled me closer to him. "I brought you a new sh-," Jack said walking into the kitchen. Zack pulled away from me. "Um, uh. Am I interrupting something," Jack said. Standing there awkwardly. I looked away embarrassed. "Jack, I'm sorry," Zack said. "Don't be," he said. I could still feel Jack's eyes on me. Rian came down the steps. "Zack, we gotta go. Rian said walking towards the door dragging Zack out. He looked at me and smiled as Rian pulled him out. "Jack? Stella? Oh hello boys" our mom called walking through the door with grocery bags in her hands. "Hello Mrs. Barakat," we heard them say. Jack quickly hid my arms. I looked at him and he put his fingers to his lips. "Hey guys," my mom said setting the bags down on the counter. "I'm gonna, um, take Stella to the store Mom," Jack said grabbing his keys. I walked out to the car quickly. We were off to the doctor.

So I originally found this on Mibba, but came over to this site once I saw it wasn't finished on there (and seeing you said you had a profile on here in an author's note), to see if you maybe finished it on here...
You didn't, which is a bummer. :( But you did get one more update up on here in comparison to Mibba, so that's something.
I really like what you have of this story, and bummed that you didn't continue/finish it. Especially after reading this last update; I had a feeling what all was between her and Vic was kind of rigged, but wasn't sure. Now... :O
I'm just wondering why Alex hates her so much. I mean, at first I thought it was because he liked her, so he teased her, but then he just started getting awfully harsh and then like almost took advantage of her... like WTF. I also can't believe Jack would be friends with him after seeing him hit his sister, just because he seemed "alright"... that was a bit weird.
But I think you're a really great writer, other than those missing factors. Some of those you were probably leading into explaining more and just didn't get to, which is really unfortunate.
If you ever find yourself wanting to write for this story again, I will be here to read. I also subscribed to it on Mibba too, although this seems to be the most up-to-date version. But regardless of which platform you post on, I will read. :) I think it's a really intriguing plot line and I would love to see how it all ends.
Hoping this comment will maybe inspire you to continue. If not, just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed this and just wanted to show you that people like me are still stumbling across your story. :)
