Hey guys! If you liked Lemonade Mouth and if you like Wenlivia, Scohini and Starlie (I LOVE STARLIE!) you will enjoy this story. So sit back, relax and read. By the way, I don't own Lemonade Mouth (yet I wish I do.) and We Used to Wait by Arcade Fire. I own one of the songs in this chapter so if you'd like to use it, give me credit.
Third Person POV
The famous band, Lemonade Mouth, was at rehearsals, just like they ususally were every Thursday.
"So I've got a new song for you guys." Stella said.
"About what?" Charlie asked.
Stella blushed. WAIT. SHE DID WHAT? "About that good for nothing jerk I dated, Richard."
She sat down beside Olivia.
"Why are you blushing?" Olivia questioned her.
"Nothing." Stella quickly shook her head.
~Flashback~
"Richard, you're a two faced user. I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN!" Stella shouted at him and quickly turned on her heel, leaving him stunned and rooted to the spot.
Richard and her had been dating a month after Lemonade Mouth became famous. It was already 4 months after that. Richard used to have a spark with her but it quickly died away and he began taking her for granted.
In the inside, Stella was hurt. She knew Richard had been using her but she just fooled herself into thinking that he still liked her because she was, well, Stella.
She tried to call Mo, Olivia and Wen but they were all busy. She went to the house of the only person left that she could turn to: Charlie Delgado.
"Stella?" Tommy, Charlie's older brother, opened the door.
"Hey Tommy. Is Charlie home?" She asked him before wiping another tear off her face.
"Uh, yeah he's in the garage, playing around with his drums like always. Come on in!" Tommy said looking at how upset she was.
"You go ahead and go down there. I'll tell mom to make you guys something." Tommy said and went off to fetch his mother.
"Knock, knock?" Stella said as she went into the room where Charlie kept his drums.
Charlie dropped his drumsticks and Stella giggled.
He saw her tear-stained face and he suddenly became concerned. It was not like Stella to cry. In fact, Stella was strong, independent, determined and maybe a bit hard headed.
"What happened?" He asked her and stood up.
"I broke up with R-r-r-… I DON'T WANNA SAY HIS NAME!" Stella said.
"You've been wanting to do that for 2 months. Why do you look so hurt?" He asked her and she looked at him.
"Sometimes accepting the truth hurts more than you think." She said with a sad smile.
"Stella, there are so many guys out there that are better than Richard." When he mentioned his name, she covered her face with her hands. "Sometimes they're so close that you don't even know that they're the one for you."
Stella looked up at him and he was an inch away from her. He could smell her breath which smelled of lemonade (DUH!).
"Hey guys, I got you some-" Tommy said but his eyes widened when he saw how close they were.
Charlie coughed into his hand and backed away.
"I'll just put this here." Tommy put down a plate of cookies and two mugs of hot chocolate on an end table.
Tommy left the room and Charlie looked at her again.
"Thanks Charlie." Stella pulled him into a tight hug and he hugged back. "You're a good friend."
Maybe, that's all they'll ever be.
~End of Flashback~
"So let's hear it then!" Wen said and rubbed his hands together.
Stella grabbed her guitar and put the notebook down on a chair in front of her.
(A.N.: I wrote this song. It's called Make You Burn. Hope you guys like it!)
Your eyes used to sparkle like diamonds,
They've turned into bottomless pits of darkness.
You used to take my breath away.
Now all you take is me for granted.
So let me give something back to you!
Olivia was snapping her fingers and Mo was tapping her foot.
You used to love me,
Now you just use me.
I'm not blind,
We both know I can see.
Let me go!
I wanna be free!
When you do,
I'm gonna make you burn.
Charlie went to his drums and began to accompany my guitar. Scott stood up and started playing rhythm guitar.
You used to yearn for my love
Or at least that's what I thought.
Everytime you looked at me I'd melt and sometimes I'd sweat-drop.
People said we're not meant to be and I guess they told the truth.
You want me just like a thief wants his loot.
Wen was now on his keyboard and Mo was on her bass.
You used to love me,
Now you just use me.
I'm not blind,
We both know I can see.
Let me go!
I wanna be free!
When you do,
I'm gonna make you burn.
I did a little guitar solo and handed the paper to Olivia.
We both know I'm tough enough
But you really make me wanna fall.
You're causing me a ton of grief
So end this torture before I scream.
Olivia sang and the band was doing pretty good.
You used to love me,
Now you just use me.
I'm not blind,
We both know I can see.
Let me go!
I wanna be free!
You used to love me,
Now you just use me.
I'm not blind,
We both know I can see.
Let me go!
I wanna be free!
And you will,
Then I'll make you burn.
You're gonna burn in hell.
"YEAH!" Everyone high-fived each other, even Scott.
"I'm thirsty." Mo said as Scott put his arm around her.
"And what quenches a thirst better than…?" Stella said.
"LEMONADE!" Everyone shouted in unison and walked over to the vending machine.
Olivia's POV
I walked over to the Mel's Lemonade Machine at the back of the auditorium and Wen followed behind me.
"Great job with that new song Wen!" I said to him with a smile as I pressed the button.
"Says the girl who did better than me." He said and I giggled.
"Oh come on, don't be modest." I said and shoved him playfully.
He smiled. Goodness, I love his smile. I've been falling for him even before we got famous but all we were were extremely close best friends.
"What?" He asked and I realized I was staring at him.
"Nothing." I said and quickly handed him 3 cans of lemonade.
"Ooookay." He said and walked back to the stage with me.
"Gosh, I'm so tired." Stella said and yawned.
"Why is that?" I asked her as I handed her a can of lemonade.
"I'm not yet used to the rock stars not getting enough sleep thing." She said.
"You're not the only one." Mo said with a sip of her lemonade.
"It's already 5 PM guys. We should get going before our parents begin looking for us." I said and picked up my bag.
"Can I come with? I don't really feel like babysitting." Wen said and I remembered his little sister Georgie.
"If you wanna come then start walkng." I said since I was already walking and he ran after me.
Mo's POV
"Wanna come over?" Stella asked Charlie.
"Yup." Charlie said and got his bag.
"Let's go get pizza Scott!" I tugged on his sleeve.
"Sure!" He said with a grin.
We arrived at Dante's and I sat down. My eyes almost closed until Scott snapped his fingers in front of me.
"Really Mo, you look even more tired than Stell." He said.
"Can you blame me?" I said as we ordered a margharita pizza.
Me and Scott were practically the perfect couple. I'd learned how to trust him and he was now nice and wonderful.
"Hi Scott!" Jules greeted him. "Hello Mo."
"Hi Jules." I said with a scowl.
This was the girl Scott used to cheat on me. Her and Charlie used to date until Charlie broke up with her for being WAAAY too clingy.
"Can I guys join you?" She asked.
This was gonna be a LOOONG night.
Wen's POV
We were in Olivia's room taking care of her kitten, Daisy, that I gave to her.
Olivia plopped onto her bed. "Can you watch Daisy for a couple of minutes? Gonna take a cat nap."
"That was a wonderful joke!" I said sarcastically.
"Come on Wen, I'm tired." She begged.
"Okay but I'm waking you up in 10 minutes." I said and she went to sleep.
She lay there on her bed as I cradled Daisy in my arms.
Her figure just laying there was too much for me too bear. I was losing control.
Stella's POV
Me and Charlie went into my room and I was playing some Arcade Fire.
I used to write
I used to write letters, I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing light settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met, by the time we met
The times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown
I sat on the black leather couch in my room.
"This is such a slow day." I said with a sigh.
"No kidding." He said and sat beside me.
"Sometimes I enjoy days like this. Considering our lives are going full-on fast with us being famous now." I said with a small smile.
He looked at me. "I just enjoy moments like this when time seems to stop."
I blushed. I mentally slapped myself. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME? Stella Yamada NEVER blushes.
It may seem strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
"Everyone thinks being a rock star is a dream job. We both know how tiring it can be." He said and I giggled.
"You should do that more often." He said.
"Do what more often?" I questioned him.
"Giggling like that. It's rare to hear you laugh Stella." He told me.
I tightened my already crossed arms. "You can't exactly force it out of me."
He raised his eyebrow. "Is that so?"
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Sometimes it never came
Still moving through the pain
"I know how to get anything out of you." He said with a smirk.
"Don't you dare Delgado." I said through gritted teeth.
"Oh I dare." Charlie said and began tickling me.
I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again, gonna move through the pain
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
"CHARLIE, HAHA, STOP IT, HAHA, OR I WILL, HAHA, FREAKING, HAHA, KILL YOU!" I threatened as he continued to tickle me.
"Stella would never kill me!" He said and tickled some more.
"Oh she will now!" I said and strangled him.
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Sometimes it never came
Still moving through the pain
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
And now they're screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"
I rubbed my hands together after a while of strangling him.
"That's a lesson learned." He said and rubbed his chaffing neck.
"Just remember to keep it in mind and you won't die a painful death." I said with an evil laugh.
Charlie gulped.
We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
And now we're screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"
I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"
Wait for it!
Wait for it!
Wait for it!
Charlie's POV
I seriously DO NOT wanna die. She smiled at me and leaned on my shoulder. I felt the blood rise up to my cheeks.
"Wake me up later." I heard her say.
I looked at Stella fast asleep on my shoulder. She looked so beautiful. Oh crap, did I just say that?
I heard her snore. Yup, that's Stella alright.
