Hello everyone! Posting this in the afternoon because I went to Sunday School. Tons of Starlie again because they're the only couple that have not yet gotten together in the story. Considering writing a sequel to this. Anyway, I don't own Lemonade Mouth and Stop This Song by Paramore.
Charlie's POV
Everyone left and me and Stella were left alone sitting on the couch.
She sighed and looked at me. "I'm bored." Her head fell back on the couch.
I chuckled. "Charlie's right here. Why are you bored?"
"Because you're Charlie." She said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I said and she stood up.
"Nothing Delgado." She said in a singsong voice.
"Tell me." I grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto the couch.
"Is there much to say about it?" She said.
"Now that I think about it, no." I told her and she laughed.
I just loved to make her laugh. Hearing it was the best. The only thing that was better was causing it.
"I'm so lucky you're around. Having everyone paired off pretty much makes us lonely." She said with a sigh.
"You got that right Stellbell." I said and she narrowed her eyes.
"What?" I said and she shook her head.
She stood up. "You can let go now Delgado."
I realized that I was still holding her hand.
"Oh sorry." I apologized and immediately let go.
She went up to her room and I suddenly realized something.
WHO WAS GONNA TAKE HER TO THE END OF FALL BALL?
I wanted to ask her of course. But how?
Stella and me were NOT dating. Not yet.
I sighed and knocked on Stella's door.
"Come in Delgado." She said and I found her playing her cherry red electric guitar plugged into a mini-amp.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"Just writing this new song." Stella said.
"What's it about?" I questioned as I sat beside her.
"Why the curiousity?" She asked me as she faced me.
"Nothing. It's part of human nature." I said.
"More like Charlie nature." She said.
"Can I hear it?" I asked her.
"Um, okay. I just have the chorus so maybe you can help out and we can show the band tomorrow." She said and I nodded.
Won't someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing!
It sounded like Stella was scared to love again. It was hard to imagine Stella scared though.
I looked into her eyes again and saw it. She was. I saw the fear to love someone. She didn't want another Richard. She wanted someone who would love her.
"Your scared aren't you?" I wasn't planning to say that out loud but I did.
"Scared of what?" She said and put down her guitar.
I wanted to say it. "Scared to love again."
She sighed. "Maybe I am Charlie."
"You shouldn't be." I took my hand in hers and she blushed.
"Not something we should talk about Charlie." She shook her head.
"I want to know Stella. I don't wanna see you hurt." I told her.
Her frown turned into a small smile. She suddenly hugged me.
"Thank you Charlie." She whispered.
In an hour, we'd finished the song.
You say the sweetest things
And I can't keep my heart from singing
Along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving.
In this 4/4 beat
I'm in time with you
In this 4/4 beat
I would die for you
(Die for you)
Someone stop this
She probably didn't know it but I thought her voice was beautiful. We sang together.
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
I never let love in
So I can keep my heart from hurting
But the longer that I live with this idea
The more I sink in
In this 4/4 beat
I'm in time with you
In this 4/4 beat
I would die for you
(Let's stop this song)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
I've gone too far to get over you
And you don't have a clue
You don't know what ou do to me
Her fingers were like butterflies playing the guitar for her. She was a master.
Won't someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
This lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
If I won't sing
As we continued to sing and she continued to play guitar, she didn't notice me staring at her.
It creeps in like a spider that can't be killed
Although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you but I do
I wanted to tell her that I would love her for who she was and I did. I couldn't tell her that time of course but I almost blurted it out.
(Lovesick melody)
Won't someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
(Lovesick melody)
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
No you won't get to me
'Cause I won't sing
She did a small guitar solo at the end and put down her guitar.
"Why are you staring at me?" She asked.
I shook my head. "Nothing Stellbell."
"You think they'll like the song?" She said.
"I'll know they'll like the song." I said.
It was already 5 PM.
She plopped onto her bed and sighed.
"I'm so very bored again." Stella said.
"Movie?" I said.
"Percy Jackson?" She said.
We nodded. "Oh yeah." We said in unison.
We went downstairs and popped up some microwave popcorn and watched Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
Once that was finished, we ate some microwave pizza and Stella plopped onto the couch.
"What time is it?" She asked me.
I looked at my watch. "8 PM. Don't tell me Stella Yamada is ready to turn in?"
"In your dreams Delgado." She said.
"So what do you wanna do?" I said and sat down beside her.
"Watch TV." She said.
"Go ahead. I'll go to my room. I'll be down in a while." I said.
I was sitting on my bed and playing around my drumsticks when Stella shouted, "GET DOWN HERE CHARLIE! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!"
I rushed down the staircase and almost fell. "What is it?" I asked her.
"Look!" She said and pointed at the TV.
They were talking about Lemonade Mouth on Channel 8.
"Whoa. That's so awesome!" I exclaimed.
They showed a video of us playing Determinate and Livin' On a High Wire.
The documentary went on for 2 hours.
"Okay, watching us on TV is awesome." Stella said.
"You got that right." I agreed.
She yawned. "Your already tired?" I asked her.
"Yup. You?" She said.
"Like hell." I answered.
"I'm going to my room." She said and left.
I sighed and went back to the guestroom.
I put on my brown pajama pants and gray shirt.
Stella knocked on my door and I opened it. She was wearing a pink tank top and black shorts.
"Stay with me." She said.
"What, why?" I asked.
"I can't sleep." She said and rubbed her eyes.
I smiled and she pulled me to her room.
She went into her bed and I went in beside her.
"Why can't I sleep Charlie?" She asked as we looked up at the ceiling.
"I don't know. Maybe you miss your parents and brothers." I said and looked at her in the dark.
She gave me a look and shook her head.
"You know me better than that." She said.
"Good point. Maybe because I'm at your house." I said.
To my surprise, she said, "Yeah, I guess it's that. Night Charlie."
She turned. "Night Stella." I said once I knew she was fast asleep.
I woke up at about 7 AM. I opened my eyes and saw Stella on my chest and her arm around my waist, still fast asleep.
Once again, blood rose up to my cheeks and I smiled. "Oh Stella."
Hope you guys liked this chapter! I think I'll make another Starlie after this and then some Scohini. I already know what they'll wear at the End of Fall ball so wait for that. Thank you to NewClassic-22 who is awesome for reviewing and Pming me. Also, thanks to Everybodyelse027 for also Pming me and helping me decide that I should write a sequel.
