But yeah, I've decided I won't delete it, however, I'm not going to be posting anything anytime soon so don't get your hopes up please. No disappointment please.

CHAPTER 2

"STELLA LOPEZ MAXWELL AND MYLA ROSE MAXWELL! WHY DID I GET STOPPED ON THE STREET AND ASKED IF THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE, THAT MY SISTER IS IN GARDENIA?! WHERE EVEN ARE YOU?" Brandon's deep voice echoed throughout the house.

"And then they say I'm the loud one." Stella huffed frowning. Flora giggled before standing up and helping the blonde to her feet too. "I'M COMING DEAR, ONE SEC!"
"Jesus Stella!" Flora winced jumping up in fright. Stella smiled sheepishly before walking towards Flora's bedroom door.

"Wait!?" Flora hissed grabbing the blonde's arm and pulling her backwards, "Rumours? I've literally only been here for like, 2 hours!?"

Stella frowned and tilted her head slightly to the right into her 'thinking face'. "You know, I have no–"

"That's because I may or may not have posted a tweet saying that she was?" Myla called sheepishly, loud enough to be heard from behind her closed bedroom door.

"MYLA?!" Stella and Flora shrieked simultaneously sprinting out the bedroom and towards Myla's. The door swung open and the devil herself stood there grinning sheepishly.

"On the bright side, I got over 10,000 retweets. That's the most I've ever gotten!"
"Myla nooooo. You can't just go and advertise my arrival in the one town I practically ran away from." Flora cried running her fingers through her long mane in frustration.

"Chill sis. It's not like I've summoned an angry pitchfork, fire torch - carrying mob or anything." Myla rolled her eyes.

"But you could be summoning an entire army of paparazzi, Myles!"

"Shizzzz!" Myla's eyes widened in shock as realization struck her.

The 3 women went running down the stairs and stopped abruptly as the front door flew open startling them.

"Stella honey, are you staying over for din-FLORA!?" A tall, brunette woman shrieked as she walked in followed by a brunette male.

Flora smiled shyly, unable to move from the stairs.

The woman dropped the grocery bags in her hands and instead placed them over her mouth. With tears forming in her eyes, Flora's smile widened as she walked towards her.

"Hey mum," Flora croaked, not wanting to cry again.

Her mum shook her head and pulled her into a hug, her dad joining in. Myla and Stella grinned at each other before leaving to the sitting room to give them some privacy.

"I, Flora, you, when?" Her dad stuttered causing Flora to laugh softly.

"About an hour ago I think?"

"I didn't know you were coming back," Her mum hiccupped placing her palms on her cheeks.

"IT'S TRUE?! SHE'S HERE?!" Brandon shrieked, joining the group in the living room.

"Yep! Here I am!" Flora spoke sarcastically, gesturing to herself in a 'duh' kind of way.

"I wasn't talking to you." Brandon snapped crossing his arms across his chest and frowning deeply.

"I never said you were," Flora mimicked, narrowing her eyes into a scowl.

"Cut it out you two." Their father sighed, removing his coat and hanging it on the coat hanger. "I'm just glad you're here, and even though he's acting otherwise, Brandon is too." He said kissing his daughter on the head before walking into the kitchen.

"Whatever," Brandon grumbled, forming a pout on his face.

"Babe be nice." Stella whispered as she hugged his waist and kissed his cheek before walking to his mother and helping her pick up the scattered grocery items.

Myla, with her face all red and happy, walked to her two older siblings and pulled them into her arms into a big group hug. This took both Flora and Brandon by surprise which lead them to bursting into a fit of laughter when Myla pushed them away from her.

"I'm sorry about that Flo, I just – "

"Yeah whatever B," Flora interrupted him before pulling him into another hug. Brandon happily accepted it and wrapped his arms around her and began swinging her around.

Flora laughed and began thwacking his back, demanding he put her down. Which he eventually did when the hits became harder.

"So Flora, what brings you back to Gardenia? Now of all times," Brandon asked as the four of them sat down on the beige couches in the sitting room.

Stella elbowed her husband in the rib cage and gave him a tiny glare. Brandon frowned and rubbed the spot she attacked before turning back to look to at his sister.

"Since when did I need a reason to come see my family?" Flora asked raising her perfectly shaped eyebrow.

"Well, you don't. But it's kind of an unexpected and coincidental visit – OW!" Brandon continued before Stella elbowed him again. "Stella!"

"Oh sorry about that honey, just shivers." Stella smiled sweetly but her eyes narrowed down into a threatening glare. Brandon frowned once again before he understood she was telling him to shut up. He gave her a confused yet sheepish smile before looking at Myla for help. Myla, having understood the silent conversation between the couple, rolled her eyes and turned to face Flora.

"What our idiot brother means is, why didn't you come earlier?" She said glancing at Brandon and Stella for approval to which they nodded.

"Well, I don't know. I guess I was just scared honestly. You saw how everyone was acting towards me before I left. I didn't think I'd be able to live with those disappointed looks people kept throwing me." Flora sighed running her fingers through her thick hair.

"Ugh, who cares about those assholes man. They don't even know what happened. And if you ask me, they made a big deal out of nothing." Myla groaned shaking her head.

"Yeah I know, but then also seeing him or Krystal again? That would have practically killed me." Flora explained, "Anyway, now that I have Mason that's not going to happen. Especially with Helia being in New York or wherever."

"About that Flo – "
"Whatever, I'm going to go help mum in the kitchen. I've missed doing that." Flora grinned getting up and walking to the kitchen.

"Wait Flo, um –"But the blonde couldn't finish her sentence because Flora had already exited the room, dismissing the conversation as she did so.

Stella let out a frustrated sigh as she leaned back into the sofa.

"Maybe we're fretting over nothing? She says she's moved on with Mason, which is practically why she decided to come back, "Myla whispered looking at her sister-in-law with sympathy.

"Flora has been my best friend since we were 5, Myles. She may say she's over Helia and whatever, but when she finds out, she's still going to be broken to the bone,"
"Stella's right. We need to tell her before she finds out herself. Just in case at least. It will hurt her too much whether she denies it or not. Especially since I don't think she has the slightest clue, you know?"

"But that's the thing. She keeps changing the topic and you know how she is, she'll avoid the conversation completely and once she does it's going to take a lot of effort bringing it up again." Myla exhaled standing up and stuffing her hands in her pocket.

"What about Helia? Are you going to tell him she's here?" Stella asked her husband.

Brandon looked up at the ceiling with his eyebrows crinkling together. After a moment he finally spoke; "I don't know. I don't know how he'll react Stell,"
"Honestly? I don't think we should tell them. Gardenia is a really small town, they're bound to bump into each other someday, and it's not like by us telling them in advance it will make things less painful for the both of them. I think we should leave their meeting to them and not interfere." Myla muttered shrugging. A messaged flashed across her phone and she unlocked it to read it, she bit her lip before stuffing it in back pocket. "Well anyway, it's up to you two now, just let me know if you need my help. I have to take Iker's sister to Joe's, I'll be back by dinner."

"What's up?" Stella asked nodding her head to the brunette's phone.

"Josie's just had her first teenage heartbreak, and what better way to get over it than a nice, cold milkshake at Joe's diner am I right?" Myla grinned, picking her coat off the hanger and walking out the front door, letting it slam shut behind her.

"Did Myles just go out?" Their mum called from the kitchen.

"Yeah, she said she'll be back by dinner though." Brandon replied, slumping in his seat.

"I think Myles is right, maybe we should just leave those two to be?" Stella whispered leaning her head on his shoulder.

"I know, I just don't want Flora getting hurt," Brandon sighed quietly putting his arm around her.

"I know, but right now there really isn't anything we can do to determine how hurt she'll be." Stella murmured.
"Him too, Stell, him too."
Stella sighed and nodded.

Flora's arrival in Gardenia was definitely going to revive some chaos.

Heyy okay so I know this chapter was short and well overdue but my internet was snaking me so I can't say I could really be put to blame here.

Anyway, school's starting soon and now I'll be in Year 11 (pray for me) so the chapters may take a while to come, please bear with me.

Anyway, I hope you still enjoyed this chapter, please review!
