Hey, back, and ready to go! Haha anyway, I'd like to thank the two people who gave me the ideas used in this chapter and the previous chapter again: anonymous123 and Angel of Randomosity, THANK YOU! I would be lost and out of chapters without your ideas. Enjoy this chapter and please review, for me.

Charlie POV

I texted the band the next morning to meet over at Stella's house for a band meeting, I wanted them to know that she was on meds, so that they could help her with me. A couple minutes after I texted them, I texted Stella, telling her that the band and I were coming over. I knew that she wouldn't be able to say no, because, 1. We were already on our way and 2. I'm me. A few minutes after I sent the text, I rang the doorbell to her house.

Right after I rang the bell, the rest of the band came up behind me. Then, Stella opened the door and said, "Hey guys, it's so nice to see you," she was giggling.

I walked in and the rest of the band followed me. I put my arm around her shoulders and said to her, "Stella, are you alright?"

"She grabbed the hand that was hanging loosely over her shoulder and nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine, why would you ask?"

I leaned down next to her ear and whispered, "Is it the meds, Stella?"

"What are you talking about, Charlie? You should know that it is the meds by now, I've been on them for, what, three days?" She yelled. I winced and the band looked at her weirdly, we hadn't told them about the problems.

"Stella, hun, you're on medication? Why didn't you tell us?" Mo asked, concerned. The other three agreed with her.

"Yeah," she giggled, "When I wasn't at school for those couple days, I was in the hospital," The whole time she explained, she was laughing, I was getting really annoyed at it, but at the same time, I had the biggest urge to help her.

"Stells, why don't we go to the living room and sit down?" I asked, knowing that it was exactly what she needed at the moment. Stella and I sat on the love seat, Wen, Mo, and Scott were on the couch, and Olivia was on the recliner. I still had my arm wrapped around her. "Now, Stell, is this a side effect?"

She giggled, again, and said, "Yeah, I think so,"

"Okay, why is she so giggly, I don't understand," Olivia asked, looking confused.

"It's her meds, the side effects, one of them is overhappiness," I explained to all of them.

"Why do you know about the side effects?" Scott asked me, the way he said it was kinda rude.

"Stella probably told him, right?" Mo asked, trying to clarify.

"Um, no, not really, he was in the hospital with me after I passed out," In my opinion, Stella is dropping a lot of bombs about the last few days in a very short amount of time. They all looked at her weirdly again.

"Passed out, why?" Wen asked her, I was so glad that he would be there for her when I couldn't be. Once he told me that if I ever broke Stella's heart, he would break my face and/or body.

"The first time it was dehydration and malnourishment. The second time it was an emotion thing," I nodded the whole time she was talking, to show that I knew exactly what had happened.

"Okay, Stella, why didn't you tell us earlier?" She looked at her hands.

"I figured, maybe, that I should only tell it once, and Charlie just happened to always be with me," I could tell she was embarrassed that she told me instead of one of the girls, but I also realize that I have always been there for her and I always try to understand what she is going through, and if not, I pretend I do.

"Fine, it's okay. The one thing I want to ask though is, Stella, are you okay? You have been through a lot in the last week and you haven't said a thing about it," I stated, looking at her.

"Yeah, I think I am, side effects are really no big deal,"

"Wait, Stell, we forgot about the school thing," I pointed out, smacking myself in the forehead.

"What school thing?" Scott asked.

"My doctor said that I might have to skip school sometimes to keep my emotions intact, even though I have the medication,"

Olivia noticed something really important, "Stella! You're not giggling anymore!"

"Hell yeah, I'm not!" She exclaimed, we all laughed.

Her phone started singing this weird song from what sounded like a Disney movie. We all laughed, except Stella. She blushed, which was adorable.

She answered the phone, "Hello?"

I heard a little squibble on the other end, I thought that only happened in cartoons.

She gasped and asked, "Ok, what do you want?" I assumed by her tone that it was someone she didn't like.

More squibble.

"What the hell does that have to do with me?" At that moment I knew it was someone she hated, she only ever cussed like that when she didn't like someone.

Even more of the squibbly squibble.

"Why is that?" I really wanted to know who she was talking to, so I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, then she looked at the rest of the band, who were also looking at her weirdly. She dismissed it and went back to the phone call.

Squibble, squibble, squibbly, squibble.

"I make fun of you, dude, I don't talk to you," Okay, now I know it's a guy, Stella never calls girls 'dude'.

Blah, blah, blah, squibbly.

"Right for what?" This caught my full attention and I turned toward her.

"Who is it, Stella?" I whispered. She shook her head, telling me that she couldn't talk to me at that moment.

I was really concerned, her face was getting red and she seemed really irritated with the person on the other end, I was inclined to tell her to hang up.

"Don't call me that! Only my friends can call me that. And are you fucking kidding me! You hate me and I hate you, there is no changing that," She exploded, we all jumped at her outburst, but at the same time, I wanted to laugh, because the person on the opposite end just got to feel Stella's awesome wrath. She hung up the phone and ran to her room. I looked at my bandmates and we used our silent communication to say that we should go and comfort Stella.

We walked in and she was writing lyrics in her notebook, even though the song was bound to be great, we needed to know what had happened.

"Nothing, I'm fine, everything is fine," She said, obviously lying.

"Who was on the phone, Stella?" I could tell she didn't want to answer, but we needed to know, as her friends.

"Stell? Who was it?" Mo tried to pull it out of her.

She handed Olivia her phone.

"Oh my God, Stella! This is Ray's number!" Olivia shouted. It all made sense now, a guy that she hated.

"I know, he called saying that he was dumped. I honestly couldn't care less,"

"What was the last thing you said about?" Wen asked her.

"What thing?" She asked, looking confused.

"The thing about not calling you that and you 'fucking' hating him," I assumed, trying not to laugh at the memory.

"He called me 'Stells' and told me that he liked me," She said, acting as if it didn't matter.

"What the hell? Ray likes you?" Scott asked.

"I guess, that's what he told me, at least,"

"I can't believe it!" Mo yelled, or squealed, in my ear.

"What? What are you talking about?" Olivia asked her.

"What are you talking about, woman?" I asked her.

"I'm talking about, we might have a guy fight for Stella," Stella looked at her and raised her eyebrow.

"No way in hell am I letting that happen, Mo," Scott said to his girlfriend.

"Yeah, me either," Wen agreed. I love how they are there for Stella; I didn't even have to speak during that conversation.

"I love you, guys," She said, giving them hugs.

"We know," All of us laughed.

Her phone chimed; she scoffed.

"What, Stella? Who is it?" I asked.

"My, uh, mom," I didn't believe her for a second.

We all talked for a while, except Stella, she was totally immersed in her phone. The whole band had left and I grabbed Stella's phone.

Ray: I have liked you since the Halloween Bash

I scoffed and texted back, Ooh, then you lose, I liked her when she walked into detention her first day, see ya loser

I turned off her phone and threw it across the room. She lay down on her bed and gestured that I should do the same. So, I did.

"Why did you even pick up the phone anyway?" I asked her.

"Have you heard the phrase 'unknown number'?" She smirked and I laughed.

"Sure, whatever, Stella," I rolled on top of her and started kissing her. All I could think at that moment was, "I'm the luckiest guy in the world,"

Tell me how you liked this chapter. I'm soooo sorry it took me so long to update, I just started school again and I have football and volleyball games all the time. Cheerleading is a very demanding sport and I will try to update every other weekend. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! Thank you!
