*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sitting in a taxi from the train station silent tears streamed down Stella's face. She couldn't believe she'd done what she had, she went over the scene in her mind.
*Flashback*
"George if you say you love me I'll find another record company in town or something, but otherwise I'll have to go." Stella said as tears sprung to her eyes.
"I-I can't, I'm sorry" said George as he touched his pocket where a small velvet box was
"Then I should be sorry, goodbye" she said letting go of his hand
She started walking and looked back only once then boarded the train and watched him until he was out of sight.


*Fastforward*
The taxi driver looked at her with sympathetic eyes but said nothing until she stopped at Stella's new condo. Stella went to pay but she held up her hand.
"Don't worry about it, and whatever's bad enough for you to cry for two hours straight I hope gets better" she said kindly
"Thanks" she managed to get out
Then got her things and ran to the house where she collapsed in a heap on the couch.
(That was the prolouge here's the story)
*~*
It had been one year since Stella and George had parted and yet they were both still in pain, and within four months Stella had become a singing superstar with her hit single 'Wouldn't Cry For You'. George sighed and got up, hoping a short walk would help calm him. So he walked outside and after a block or two he looked up and saw something that DIDN'T help: a large billboard advertising Stella's CD. It had a picture of Stella sitting on a couch and above it said "Stella" in large letters and on the bottom was the album title "Shards of My Heart". Next to the picture were the words: Album out Dec. 18, features the hit single 'Wouldn't Cry For You'. George, getting tired of seeing her every way except in person turned and headed for the Ministry of Magic for some BIG help from someone who would.
Meanwhile Stella was on MTV's Making the Video for 'Wouldn't Cry For You' she was sitting in a chair talking into the camera.
"This is probably the most personal song on my album, I mean all of them are pretty personal, but this song tells a story that hurts." she was explaining

Then it showed her sitting on a bed crying looking at a soggy framed photo with her singing.
Then it showed the director talking and he was saying "Either Stella is a very good actress or this really hurt because she refused to have us MAKE her look like she was crying and did the real thing instead" Finally, after a day of photo shoots, the video shoot, and interviews she flopped onto her bed and pulled a picture of George from under her pillow, it was actually both of them together at her graduation from Hogwarts. She sat in front of her laptop and got on AOL Instant Messenger, though Keri agreed her choices were wrong neither knew George's whereabouts.
Starcrossed Singer:Hey, how's the book coming along?
Wolf-Angel-Keri:Pretty well, I know you didn't IM me to ask how my book was going so spill
Starcrossed Singer:Well, I need emotional support AGAIN, you have no idea how hard it is to be smiling so hard for most of the day and then have to come home with all those tears
Wolf-Angel-Keri:Aw, don't worry about it, ok that sounded stupid but you have to get over it or find him yourself, somehow. Look I have to go but if you need me, you know you can always cry on my shoulder instead of your pillow. Hang in there Stell
Starcrossed Singer:Thanks, c ya
Wolf-Angel-Keri signed off at 10:36:44 PM.
Stella turned off her laptop, changed, climbed into bed, and cried herself to sleep.
