A/N: Hey sorry for such a delayed update, I've been extremely busy this past week! But today I finally got time to sit down and just, write! I really wanted to make this chapter twice as long as my usual updates but unfortunately I wanted to get something for you all to read! So I hope you enjoy this chapter, it's definitely something different! But do expect regular updates now because I ACTUALLY GOT MY LIFE TOGETHER!

Chapter 5 - Stella's POV

Before I knew it, everything was black.

While my body lay flat on the cold surface of the school's gym, I could faintly hear voices as I slowly came to. Blinking my eyes I saw some girls circled around me, their faces were full of fear.

"Oh no," screeched Flora as she looked at the damage done, but for the life of me I can not remember what happened. I tried to stay conscious with all my strength, but I couldn't, so I fell back unconscious.

Slowly, I started to come to as I was lying in a hospital bed. Blinking my eyes open, I saw Sky and Bloom sitting in the chairs at the end of the bed.

"Oh my gosh," I groaned as I lifted myself up on the bed, both Bloom and Sky shot up with relieved looks on their faces. I held my head which was throbbing in pain.

"Stella thank heavens you're awake," bellowed Sky as he hopped out of his seat and gave me a big hug

"Oww," I whined, Sky immediately released me from his grip. Along with the throbbing pain on my head, I had horrible stomach pains and an immense headache.

"What happened," I asked, Sky and Bloom gave me confused looks.

"You don't remember?" asked Bloom as she placed her hand in mine, I shook my head.

"Nope," I responded, they looked at each other worriedly.

"Well we were in the gym playing dodgeball for class," began Sky

"Then Mitzi had one of her guy friends hit you with the ball knocking you unconscious! Now you have a severe concussion" exclaimed Bloom.

"Really?" I asked. Honestly why am I even surprised? Mitzi has been jealous of me since I started school and that was barely a week ago! She's mostly jealous of how much time I've been spending with Brandon too, even though there is nothing there. I guess her last straw was seeing me actually reciprocating the feelings Brandon had towards me, towards him!

I positioned myself on the uncomfortable hospital bed, I lifted up the thin blanket that was placed on top of me to see an ugly blue hospital gown and tan socks. I've never looked so horrible in my life. I looked at the clock which was on the wall above the door to my room, it had said it was about ten at night.

"When do I get to go home?" I asked

"Not until tomorrow, so no school for you," stated Sky. Great I'm not even going to be able to give Mitzi a piece of my mind, even with this horrible headache.

"Well you two better get going because you do have school," I scolded them because they knew I wasn't going to be okay with them hanging around when they have homework to do tonight and have school early tomorrow morning.

"Alright Stella, but if you need anything you better call me!" stated bloom as she gave me her death stare, I shook my head

"I will, now Sky make sure Bloom gets home!" I stated as I grabbed the remote of the table stand next to the bed, Bloom and Sky waved to me as they left the room.

I scanned the room to find the television which was hung on the corner of the wall, I switched it on to Teen News. Surprisingly they were replaying my interview from the previous day, they were talking about the competition.

"I completely forgot about the competition!" I exclaimed, there is literally two days before I need to let Lilly know who the winner is and I've barely gone through any of the videos! Of course, the only person that I have seen so far with some actual talent was Musa and she really deserves to win. As I sat there thinking about how many videos I was going to have to go through, the nurse walked into my room with clipboard in hand, most likely it had all my medical records on it.

"Oh Miss Solaria, you're not suppose to be watching television, you have a severe concussion!" exclaimed the nurse as she walked below the television which was hung on the wall, she shut it off. Darn.

"Sorry I didn't know," I replied. So what am I supposed to do until tomorrow?

"It's fine, I'm here to check in on you! You were unconscious for a while, how are you feeling now?" asked the nurse as she pulled the pen from her scrub top pocket, she started sketching down some words.

"Oh well I've got a killer headache and some really bad stomach pains," I explained, she wrote down everything I had just said.

"Okay so just to let you know, while you're recovering you can't do anything that is considered 'exercising' your brain," the nurse started, "this includes things like watching television, going on your phone, listening to music and reading books, so that means no school for a while."

Wait no school?! And no music..

"What do you mean when you say 'awhile'?" I asked, I can't miss too much school. I'm already dreading missing tomorrow.

"As of right now, at least the rest of the week." the nurse stated, I buried my face into my hands. First I'm going to be missing so much school and what am I going to do about my concert this weekend? Especially with the contest, the one I wanted to host!

Oh no and Lilly! She's actually going to kill me this time..

"Don't worry sweetie you're going to be better soon, and you get a short break from school!" the nurse said cheerfully as she exited the room. Oh she doesn't know how wrong she is! There was a plastic bag on the table where I had found the remote, it had all of my belongings. My phone, clothes, school bag and all of that. I reached inside of it to grab my phone, despite what the nurse had said about me not going on my phone. Of course I had a ton of notifications, most of them came from the Winx and I's group chat, then the rest of them came from, of course, Brandon. I heard the nurse coming back in, so I threw my phone back into the bag.

"Alright sweetie I've got some pain killers for you," stated the nurse as she grabbed some gloves from the glove box on the sink in my room, "now they are going to make you a bit sleepy but they will really help the headache and stomach pains!" she finished, she took a needle filled with some medication and injected it into the IV that was in my arm. Within a few minutes I could feel the pain starting to slowly go away, but also feel myself trying not to fall asleep. But because there was nothing for me to distract myself with to not fall asleep, I started to become very drowsy eventually falling back into my coma-like sleep.

Continuously through the night I was woken up by the nurses to make sure I was doing fine, usually it would be hard for me to fall back asleep but the amount of drugs they were pumping into my body it wasn't hard at all.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the sound of doctor rusling through the halls on their way for their rounds. I adjustment myself up, rubbing my eyes in the process. I looked around my empty room, it was oddly quiet for me since I'm used to hearing Sky talk or music playing, even some television noise in the background! But there was nothing, absolutely nothing. I swung my legs over the side of the bed to get up and use the restroom, my feet hit something at the side of my bed. I looked down to see one of my travel bags that I use for the occasional out of state concerts.

I picked it up and placed it on the bed in front of me, I grasped the zipper and opened it slowly. Inside were some clean clothes and even my bathroom stuff, I'm gonna assume both Sky and Bloom are behind this.

"I love them," I stated to myself as I placed the bag back down onto the floor, I got off the bed and headed straight for the bathroom. It felt as if my bladder was going to explode, but I guess that's what happens when you're asleep for practically a whole day!

Nevertheless, once I finally used the restroom, the nurse came back in as soon as I was lying back down in the uncomfortable hospital bed. She pulled the clipboard from the slot located on the door, she flipped through the pages before walking into my room to greet me.

"Good Morning Miss Solaria, how are you feeling today?" the nurse asked as she wrote something down onto the clipboard

"Much better, those painkillers really helped the pain!" I exclaimed, she let out a laugh

"Well luckily for you, you're going to be released today! Do you have someone that is able to pick you up?" she asked, I thought about it for a second. I checked the clock and it was about nine so everyone is in school already.

"Uhh yes I do," I replied, I can just call Sky he'll be angry if I don't.

"Great, I'll be back soon with your discharge papers and we can get you home!" the nurse stated with peppy attitude, at least one of us is in a good mood!

Once the nurse had gotten all of the information she needed from me, she exited the room. I darted my hand into the plastic bag where my phone was being kept. I pulled it out and immediately dialed Sky's number, with the phone up to my ear I listened to the ringer that was coming from the other end. After only two rings, Sky picked up the phone.

"Hello," greeted Sky on the other end of the phone

"Hey Sky it's me," I replied, I heard voices come from Sky's end of the phone but I just ignored them.

"Stella, hey, how is everything!" asked Sky, he shushed the voices that I kept hearing.

"Great, so I'm getting discharged very soon and I was wondering if you could come get me?" I asked

"How is she-" I heard what sounded like Flora's voice on the other end of the phone

"Hold on- Yea Stella I can come get you, no problem" replied Sky. The voices on the other end were definitely the girls, I could tell by their resilience to know how I was doing.

I laughed, "Tell those poor girls that I am fine and that I'll talk to them later!" I hung up the phone so that Sky could deal with the girls on his end. I grabbed the bag that had all of my clean clothes in them and took it into the bathroom. I was still somewhat weak from yesterday but I needed to get dressed so I could leave, so I slowly but surely put the clean clothes on.

Sky had packed me my grey two piece hoodie set, which was basically a grey tracksuit but comfier, along with my brown uggs. After putting those on I managed to clean my face and put my hair into a messy bun. Probably the best I was going to get in my condition. I headed back out to the room, just as I threw my bag onto the bed the nurse was back with the discharge papers!

"All you need to do is sign these and then you will be on your way," stated the nurse as she placed the papers and a pen onto the table at the end of the bed. I quickly headed over to sign those papers, because all I wanted to do was get the hell out of that hospital.

"Perfect! Now make sure if any of your symptoms worsen or don't improve please don't hesitate to come back, head injuries are very serious!" stated the nurse, I shook my head letting her know that I understood the risks I would be taking if I didn't come back. As she left the room, I grabbed the clear bag of belongings and shoved it into my travel bag, I zipped it on up and headed out of the room.

As I walked down the hallway of the hospital, I passed a handful of doctors and nurses as they rushed back and forth through their patients. I never fancied hospitals, but I mean, who does? So I wanted to get out of their as quickly as possible. Eventually I found the front of the hospital where discharged patients are supposed to be picked up at. It hadn't been long since I called Sky, so I knew that I was going to be waiting a few minutes before he arrived. I looked to both my sides to see if there were any benches I could take a seat at as i waited for him, and too my luck there was!

I sat down the firm bench which had some graffiti markings on it, along with some mysterious goop. I avoided that at all costs. As I sat there, I truly was wondering how all of this was going to affect my life for the next week. It happened at literally the worst moment possible! I seriously hope I can figure all of this out, mostly the Starr situation because one screw up and it can mess with my future.

Lost in a daze thinking about this, I didn't realize that Sky had arrived a few seconds ago. He was honking viciously at me to my attention and well, it worked. I grabbed my belongings and opened the passenger side door, Sky looked extremely happy to see me only though it's been about twelve hours since we saw each other.

"So how are you feeling today?" he asked as I shut the door, he pulled away and began driving towards our house.

"Definitely better, they gave me some strong medication which helped with all the pain," I explained, "but unfortunately for me no school for at least the rest of the week."

"Oh well that's not too bd, at least you're use to that by now," Sky tried to make me feel better, but somehow he wasn't.

"I guess but I also can't watch television, be on my phone or listen to music! I literally need to do all of that to be Starr," I exclaimed, Sky kept his eyes locked on the road but I knew he was feeling the same way I was.

"I don't know how to be anything but Starr, and I don't know why I thought I could go to regular school and be a 'regular' teen it's just not in the cards for me," I stated, I leaned my head against my arm that was resting on the door.

"Oh come on Stella, you know you're more than just Starr! None of the girls know about your secret but do you see the way they treat you? They love you like a sister! And the guys, don't even get me started on them, they think you're awesome and absolutely hilarious," stated Sky, I could tell he meant what he was saying. But I couldn't help think that what if they found out my secret? Would they like Stella or Starr better? "Plus Starr isn't the one who brought all of these amazing people together, Stella did!"

"Sky you always know the right things to say," I laughed, but still there's always that chance of them wanting Starr. The rest of the ride home was quiet, I didn't want to give myself a headache so it was silent. Sky pulled into the driveway of our house, he stopped the car and got out. He opened the door for me and even grabbed my bag, I followed him into the house, where again, it was silent.

"I'm starting to really like the quiet," I laughed, Sky headed to the kitchen where he set my bag down in. I followed closely behind, once in the kitchen I noticed dozens of bouquets of flowers.

"Who are these from?" I asked I went to check the cards

"Well-" started Sky, "Most of them are from the girls." I should have figured that..

"And the some of them are from the guys," said Sky, "but the big bouquets I have no idea who they're from," Sky finished, I immediately went to check what the card on the big bouquets said.

What I read was;

Dear Princess,

Oh great. I already know who these are from..

I hope from the bottom of my heart that you get better soon, I couldn't stand seeing you like that. I want to make it up to you any way possible!

Love yours truly

I actually can't believe this. I honestly don't know what to feel. It was partially my fault for instigating all of this by flirting with Brandon. But it's also Mitzi's fault for being well, her, a disgusting excuse for a person. Then again, it's partially Brandon's fault for even remotely thinking Mitzi was a decent enough person to date! That basically cancels out what I did.

"So who do you think it's from?" asked Sky as he headed to the refrigerator to grab a snack before heading back to school

"I have no idea," I played off the question by shrugging my shoulders, I took a seat on a bar stool as Sky placed some bread into the toaster and pushed the button down.

"Well everyone will be glad to know that you're home and somewhat healthy," stated Sky, I laughed

"Yea I heard them on the other end of the phone call earlier, it sounded like they were surely hassling you for some answers!" He looked at me as I continued to laugh.

"Haha very funny, maybe you should keep them updated yourself," insisted Sky as his bread popped out of the toaster now crispy.

"You and I both know I'm not allowed to be on my phone," I waved my finger at him

"Exactly so let me handle it how I want to," Sky continued to make his toast, he spread some butter on each piece and squished them together like a sandwich

"Fine, you do you," I stated but then I thought about something, "What am I going to do all day? You're going to be gone and I can't do anything interesting.."

"I have an idea, why don't you sleep? So like you can get better," I could tell he was mocking me, he even used the lingo I use. But he wasn't wrong, sleep is probably the best thing for me right now.

"Fine," I caved in giving him the benefit of the doubt, "but you're going to hang out with me once you get home from school. Just the two of us!" I demanded, he shoved the pieces of toast into his mouth causing crumbs to fall to the floor

"Deal" he stated.

Sky gathered his food together and headed back to his car so that he can make his way back to school. Once he left the kitchen, I heard the slamming of the door echo through the house. I sat there in the silence for a moment, but then I decided to head upstairs to my room so that I could get some sleep. As soon as walked up the stairs and opened my bedroom door, I scanned the room to reveal a complete disaster area. There was garbage and dirty clothes all over my bed and floor, along with complete disorganization of everything in my room.

Now Stella, would you rather be good for Sky by getting some sleep or would you rather clean and organize your room?

I can always sleep later!

Rhetorically speaking, I dove into my room and began picking up things here and there. I started with all the trash which consisted of things like food wrappers and tags from new clothes, I threw them into the trash bin which was almost filled to the top. Even from just picking up that my room looked so much better. But it wasn't good enough.

I filled tons of baskets with the dirty clothes that laid across my bedroom, some of these garments I haven't seen in years! One by one, I carried the heavy bins to the end of the hallway which was where our laundry room was, I tossed all the clothes in to clean them. I headed back to my room. From the doorway to my room, I examined how much better it looked from just doing those two simple things.

After making my bed, and organizing everything on my nightstand it looked as if my room was never dirty. Lastly I swept and mopped the hardwood floor.

"I'm so proud of myself," I stood there completely astonished of how well I cleaned up my room. I immediately headed over to my neatly made bed and there myself into it.

Before I knew it, I was fast asleep!

I began to wake up due the extreme heat, I had tons of heavy blankets piled on top of me which wasn't very comfortable, to say the least. As I laid on my comfortable bed, way better than the hospital one, I threw my comforter off of me, but not too much to where it fell on the floor. It merely hung off my bed. I felt immediate relief from the heat, but I still had sweat on me from when I was napping. I turned my head to the side to check the time, I focused my eyes onto the clock which was on my nightstand.

3:34 pm

I immediately shot myself up, still sitting on my bed. The house was still silent, but Sky should have been home by now. I threw my legs onto the side of my bed, I felt so gross from sweating. But I'm going to see where Sky is first, I left my room and went downstairs to the kitchen where I had left my phone before I fell asleep. I turned into the kitchen and there my phone was sitting on the counter. I grabbed it to see a few messages from Sky, great.

Sky - Hey Stella, sorry this is so last minute but the others decided to hang out so I'll see you later tonight!

Wow okay. I guess everyone wants to hang out without me? I put my phone back where I found it, it's not like I need it because everyone is hanging out. I exited the kitchen and headed back upstairs, I need to shower ASAP because I feel sticky and gross from my nap. Also I didn't get to shower after class yesterday, ew. I immediately headed for my bathroom, I narrowed my eyes as I looked into the mirror. I had severely dark circles under my eyes, and some bruising along my entire face. And just as my black eye is fading! Whatever.

I opened the shower door, I placed my hand onto the faucet and turned the shower water on hot! I wanted to wash all my problems away, metaphorically of course. I quickly got out of my sweats, that's probably another reason why I was so hot and sweaty, then headed straight into the shower which was already fogging up my mirror. The moment the water touched my skin, I flinched, it was too hot. I turned the faucet handle so that it would cool down. I stood there under the flowing water, really contemplating everything!

Why would Sky change plans after he explicitly said the two of us would hang out?

You know what, I don't even care. I'm honestly over ALL OF THIS.

Just like I don't care about any of the childish things Mitzi has done to me, and no matter how much this hurts to say this, I don't care about Brandon. Everything has been changing and I don't like it.

I continued to stand under the water, but now I'm washing my hair and cleaning myself off while doing some serious thinking.

After some serious self care, I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body after drying off the immediate dripping water. Then I wrapped a second one around my head to keep my hair from dripping all over the place. Through the silence I could hear some cars skid into the driveway. Must be everyone coming over..

I decided to go check things out. I descended down the stairs and glided across the marble floor which covered almost the entire first floor. I peeked outside the window, where I could see two jeeps but they weren't any that I recognised? I continued to look out the window that's when I saw Mitzi climb out of one of the cars.

"Oh hell no," I screamed, my voice echoed through the empty house. I stomped to the front door and immediately unlocked it, then threw it open.

"I don't know what the hell you think you're doing here, you've caused enough damage," I yelled at Mitzi who leaned against the sparkling jeep. Mind you, I'm still wrapped in a towel from showering.

"Well don't you look, wide awake," laughed Mitzi. There is a fine line between getting revenge and actually trying to murder someone.

"How do you even know where I live?" I asked truly confused, if this girl were ever here before I certainly would have known.

"Doesn't matter. All that matters is that you've learned your lesson and you're going to stay away from Brandon." stated Mitzi, she didn't look like she was into negotiating the situation.

"Look Mitzi, Brandon is a grown boy and can decide whom he wants to hang out with. And if that isn't you well, grow up," I stated. I'm really starting to push her buttons because her face is actually turning cherry red!

"Well you can change that-" stated Mitzi she gestured to her girls, "and if you don't well you've already got a taste of what I'm capable of. But if you don't remember well here's another bite," Mitzi grinned evilily as her posse took out some egg cartons from their cars.

No they can't be?

In hand fulls her group of friends proceeded to throw eggs at not only my house but at me too. I felt eggs pelt my body, I tried my best to cover my head because well I've had enough damage for a lifetime! The insides of the eggs ran down my body, covering my freshly clean body. The towel that kept my hair wrapped up fell of my head, I grab it in an attempt to block some of the damage. Finally the throwing of eggs came to a stop.

I slowly lifted my head up to see Mitzi head in my direction, she stood not even a foot away from me. She looked me dead in the eyes.

"Stay away from Brandon," she continued to glare me down. I watched as she lifted her arm up, in her hand she had an unbroken eggs. She put it above my head, I closed my eyes and felt the insides trickle down my face. As I squeezed my eyes shut I heard Mitzi get back into her car all while they were laughing at me. The drove away quickly and again I was left alone, but now I was in the worst condition I had ever been in.

I ran back inside with tears running down my face, I immediately grabbed my phone to call Sky.

How did you like this chapter? Should I do more like this, with all the drama? Or is it piling it up too much? Let me know in the reviews :)
