A/N: Hey everyone! So I threw this chapter together today just because I hadn't posted in such a long period of time plus the last chapter seemed to not be up to people standards because of all the drama! So after much request here is chapter of mostly Brandon and Stella, other than some other parts here and there! I hope you enjoy! :)

Chapter 6 - Sky's POV

I stared into my glass which contained the strawberry-kiwi smoothie I had ordered. I could hear the others conversing, but I was too lost in my daydreams that I was not really listening to them. I felt bad for leaving Stella at home alone, especially after such a horrific accident, but the others convinced me that maybe it was best for her to get some peace and quiet so that she can rest up. As much as I hate myself for doing this, I totally agree. I saw how beat up Stella looked after that dude hit her with the dodgeball, and I would not want to prevent her from getting better as soon as she could. Clearing myself from a daydream, I saw Brandon across the table who was too, daydreaming. I could tell that there is something between Brandon and Stella, the way Brandon reacted after Stella was knocked unconscious really led me to think that they are more than just friends.

Flashback -

I watched from the sidelines as Stella and another kid in our class were the last two left on the dodgeball court. Stella attempted to throw dodgeballs at him, but she is just not built for this kind of thing. What caught my eye was Mitzi whisper into this kid's ear, and that sets of alarm bells in my mind. To my side I watched as this caught Brandon's eye too, we know this girl's antics all too well.

The kid proceeded to pick up a ball that was rolling towards his feet, he walked towards the center line which indicates the center of the court. He actually passed the line, both Brandon and I jumped up. But before we could do or say anything the ball was flying towards Stella at an incredible speed and hit her right in the head. She fell to the floor and she wasn't moving. Both Brandon and I ran to her aide, along with the girls.

Stella was coming in and out of consciousness, but Brandon was furious. He got up and headed straight over to the boy, who was next to Mitzi in a pit of laughter. Brandon proceeded to beat the living hell out of that kid. I was too busy trying to deal with Stella that Riven and Helia had to get him off the kid before he actually ended up doing some permanent damage.

I picked Stella off the floor and immediately carried her to my car, that's when Bloom and I brought her to the emergency room.

Back to Story

Brandon and I haven't said a word to each other since then, but it's not because we are mad at each other. We're furious to what has been happening to Stella, she doesn't deserve any of it and I think we're both pissed at the one person behind it all; Mitzi.

As we sat there I felt phone buzz in my back pocket, the rest of the group went silent as I pulled it out in front of me.

"Who is it?" asked Bloom as she peered over my shoulder to see who was calling me. On my screen showed Stella's name, she must have just woken up.

"Who do you think," I laughed, I pressed accept call and put the phone to my ear, before I said anything I could hear crying from the other end of the call.

"Stella, what's wrong?" I asked, I'm hoping it's nothing too serious but the way her crying sounds I could tell, it was.

"Mitzi-" started Stella but was interrupted by her crying, "I can't do this anymore, she came to our house-"

"What!" I yelled as I slammed my empty hand onto the table, I immediately got out of my seat.

"I just- can't Sky" every bit of life Stella had left sounded like it had gotten sucked out of her, and I couldn't help but want to kill someone. No one hurts my sister. No one.

"Just come home, you need to see for yourself." stated Stella, she immediately ended the call. I pulled my phone away from my face and I just had a look of disbelief.

"What's wrong?" asked Brandon, he too got out of his seat, he genuinely looked worried.

"I don't know, but you need to come with me. I'll see the rest of you guys later." both Brandon and I left the Frutti Music Bar, immediately getting into my car.

Stella's POV

After calling Sky I just sat on the stairs really contemplating what I had done to deserve, well, all of this. The black eye, slushie to the face, literally given brain damage and being egged. Still wrapped in the towel from my shower I was covered in the remeninse of egg shells and their insides. Just thinking about all of this was giving me a severe headache .

Again outside my house I heard the screeching of tires come to a halt, the door knob began to jiggle until the door swung open. On the other side of door stood Sky and Brandon.

"Stella what happened," Sky asked as he entered the house, he saw the eggs that covered my body

"Mitzi," I replied, Brandon looked astonished to what had happened he couldn't take his eyes off of me. But I couldn't tell if that was because of the eggs or because I was damn near naked. Sky immediately turned to Brandon, he was furious.

"She's gone too far Brandon," stated Sky, I peeled an egg shell from off my face, they were starting to dry onto my face which wasn't too comfortable. I couldn't help but start to burst out into tears again, a week ago everything was perfect! I didn't have to worry about any of this.

"Stella," exhaled Brandon, for as long as I've known him he's never called me by my actual name, just princess.

"I'm so sorry," he apologized as he wrapped me into his arms. Some of the eggs transferred onto his shirt, as I pulled myself from his grasp I wiped them off.

"I'm sorry you ever had to deal with that- that, girl!" I exclaimed

"Someone needs to do something about her," stated Sky as he started to calm down

"Well why you figure that out, I'm going to go shower. Again." I stated, some of the eggs fell off me as I headed back up the stairs to clean myself off.

I threw egg covered towel onto the bathroom floor, I was still furious about what happened, so I slammed the door shut. I could hear it echo throughout the house, even from behind shut doors. I headed to the shower and turned the water on, I stepped inside and soaked my long blonde hair under the water. As I ran my hands through my hair, I felt sharp shells getting tangled even further into my hair. I poured some apple scented shampoo into my hand and scrubbed all of the shells, plus the insides, out of my hair. I already felt better. But before I got out of the shower I conditioned my hair with the matching apple conditioner! I shut the water off, I dried myself completely off with a new and dry towel. I wrapped the towel around my dripping hair, I headed to my mirror to finish off my shower routine.

This just consisted of putting some moisturizer on and combing out my hair, because it was so wet though, I decided to throw it into a messy bun. With the new towel wrapped around my body, I opened the door to the hallway. I checked the hallway to see no one there, I headed out and across the hall where my wardrobe room was I opened the door, I slid my hand along the wall until I felt the light switch. I flicked it upwards turning the lights on, I headed straight the the corner of the room where I kept my comfy clothes. I grabbed a loose white long sleeve shirt and slipped it over my head, as for my pants, I grabbed some plaid pajama bottoms. Once putting both of those on, I headed back downstairs to see what Sky was up to.

I held the rail as I walked down the stairs, "Sky," I yelled. My voice echoed through the empty house. I listened for a response but there was none, so I went to the kitchen where Brandon was waiting on one of the bar stools.

"Where's Sky?" I asked, Brandon got out of his seat and walked towards me, something inside me told me to step back so I did.

"He went to go get the others, we are suppose to hang out tonight remember?" replied Brandon,

"Oh yea," I sighed, I was so emotionally and physically drained I headed over to the couch in the living room to lie down. I threw myself onto the couch, Brandon came over and sat on the others side.

"Look Stella-" he started, his brown hair fell in front of his face covering his eyes. As I laid on the couch, my eyes began to form some tears because I knew he was going to apologize again, but i'm tired of hearing him apologize! I want him to do something about Mitzi, get her off my back and out of my life forever.

"I know I keep apologizing for everything, that's because I am sorry. It's just I care for you, so much," explained Brandon, I could feel my insides getting warm from how sentimental he was being, even though this was kind of all his fault. Oh well. I sat up on the edge of the couch, I placed my hand on Brandon's leg.

"I know you're sorry-" I started, "but don't blame yourself for what Mitzi has done."

"Well Mitzi wouldn't be doing these things if she didn't know that I'm completely and utterly in love with you-" confessed Brandon, I heard the front door open and because of the shock I was in, I quickly pulled my hand away from Brandon.

Did he just say he's in love with me?

"Stella, Brandon. Where are you guys?" Sky voice echoed through the house, with an astonished look on my face I got up off the couch and headed back into the kitchen. Sky entered with everyone in shuffling behind him.

"Stella!" the girls said in unison as they practically sprinted to give me some hugs, I made sure to give each of them one. While I was saying hello to the girls, Brandon entered the kitchen from the living room. I turned to see his face, he had a blank expression.

Not the look you expect to see when you just confessed your love towards someone, but then again, I didn't say anything. Literally nothing. As the girls were all talking to me, I couldn't think of anything accept for Brandon.

"Stella?" interrupted Tecna, all the girls were looking at me snapping me out of my thoughts. Luckily for me I have an excuse.

"Sorry it's hard to focus on everything," I laughed though I still had a nervous look on my face.

"It's fine," Flora placed her hand on my shoulder, letting me know everything was going to be fine. The house went silent for a moment, that was until our house phone rang. Sky walked over to the phone which hung before the entrance of the kitchen he answered the phone,

"Hello," answer Sky, he immediately looked to me I could tell that it was something regarding Starr. I made my way through the crowded kitchen, which still was silent. It was almost eerie. Sky handed me the phone, and I immediately put it to my ear.

"Hello," I answered on the other end was a very frustrated person

"Well look who decides to pick up the phone," it was Lilly, very pissed. I turned around so that I wouldn't have the others staring at me. I still was surrounded by the silence, except for what was coming from Lilly's end.

"Look I'm sorry Lilly, I have an explanation," I pleaded with her, from behind me I could hear the others question who I was talking to.

"Who's Lilly?" whispered Layla, I turned to see him shrug his shoulders

"As much as I'd like to hear that right now, it's the day before your concert so that means I need the winner of your contest so that we can contact them," explained Lilly, I went silent. Sky was suppose to help me watch all the videos the other day but I had my accident. I turned to Sky and I gestured outside, hoping he would catch on and take the others out there so I could openly talk to Lilly.

"Come on everyone, I'll show you guys outside!" stated Sky as he led them outside through the back sliding door, I turned back towards the wall where the phone was. I was finally alone.

"Sure I have the name around here," I responded, I look around aimlessly as to what I was going to tell Lilly, that was until I saw the others.

"Musa Melody!" I answered

"Alright I'll have our representatives contact her now!" explained Lilly.

"Sounds great Lilly, I'll see you tomorrow!" I hung up the phone before she could say anything else, I looked at the others who were laughing and having such a great time. Well except Brandon, I could see through that fake smile, he wasn't having the best time. I walked over to the sliding door and opened it, after stepping outside I closed it.

"Stella, what was that about?" asked Musa, the group was sitting around the pool and the lounge chairs.

"Mom and Dad checking in," I smiled, little does she know she is about to get the opportunity of a lifetime. Just as I was going to sit in the empty seat between Helia and Riven, Musa's phone began to ring. This was it, Musa looked at her phone confused. She didn't recognize the number, thankfully she answered anyways.

"Hello?" Musa answered still wondering who could be on the other end, within seconds she jumped out of her seat with joy. Sky immediately looked over to me, I couldn't help but let off a cheeky smile.

"Yes, of course!" Musa replied into the phone, she was practically jumping around.

"Really-" Musa looked shocked to what the person was saying, she looked around at everyone, "is eleven do-able?" she answered.

Eleven what?

"Yes thank you, I'll see you all tomorrow!" responded Musa as she hung up the phone, she started screaming, she immediately came over and gave me the biggest hug.

"Stella they chose our song! We won!" shouted Musa, the others were still kind of confused

"That's great Musa!" I responded, she let go of me and turned around

"I get to perform with the one and only Starr tomorrow at her concert!" Musa screeched the others filled with glee for her.

"Musa that's amazing!" Bloom was filled with joy for her friend, so were the others

"Girl I knew you were going to win!" stated Layla as she gave her best friend a hug, I sat there lost in thought as the others celebrated Musa's opportunity.

"Great thing you all are going to get to watch, because I got you all tickets for her sold out show!" smiled Musa, everyone was extremely happy especially the girls who were Starr's biggest fans! But even the guys were excited, how ironic.

"Musa you're the best!" the girls said all giving her hugs, that is accept for me. How the hell am I going to tell them I can't go?

"How about we celebrate with a little swim?" suggested Sky as he gestured to the large pool that was located in our backyard. The only thing better than my own recording studio and my wardrobe closet is our backyard, it's absolutely awesome! Along with the pool we have a fire pit that is surrounded by some patio chairs, but to finish off the yard my mom insisted we install a stage on the grass where she makes me perform when she has business officials over for parties.

"I couldn't agree with you more," stated Riven ripping his shirt off, as for the girls, they needed to change into their bathing suits still.

"Here girls follow me," as I walked the back to the sliding door which led into the house, the guys were all eagerly taking their shirts off to get into the pool. Once inside, and the girls were following, I headed upstairs where they could change their clothes.

"Stella your house is amazing," Flora said in astonishment, the others shook their heads in agreement

"Seriously, I've never seen anything so- so- I don't even have a word for it!" said Layla as she reached the top of the stairs, I turned back to them

"Thanks girls, my mom designed the whole thing!" I stated, just past the stairs was my bathroom. One by one the girls went into change, first was Tecna, the others wanted to see my room while they waited. So just down the hall, I opened the door revealing my room. Luckily for me I had cleaned my room earlier so it was actually looking good!

"Stella, your room is probably the coolest room in this house!" Musa said as she spun in a circle taking in the beauty of my room, I couldn't help but laugh

"Oh how you are wrong, there is maybe two rooms that are cooler than this," I stated, the others looked at me, Tecna walked into our room she took all of it in quickly.

"Really?" asked Bloom

"You wanna see?" I asked with a cheeky grin, of course the girls shook their heads in agreement. So I exited my room and headed down the hallway some, once in front of the door to my wardrobe room I opened the door. It was still dark when the girls walked in, but I placed my hand on the light switch and turned it on. Immediately all of their jaws dropped, I knew they would think it was cooler.

Musa gilded her hands across the racks and racks of clothing that were hanging in the wardrobe room, she turned towards me, "Well Stella, you proved me wrong," Musa laughed.

"I'll know who to come to when I need something to wear!" stated Bloom as she took out one of my long elegant dresses that hung near the back of the room.

"Seriously, you girls can borrow my clothes whenever you want!" I responded, they all looked at me with excited looks

"But for now get ready to go swimming!" I exclaimed

After about ten minutes, all the girls had gotten their bathing suits on and we were making our way downstairs where we could hear the guys fooling around outside.

"Stella are you not going to go swimming?" Flor asked so sweetly, but I shook my head. I'm thinking in my condition it probably won't be the best idea.

"No, I don't think it's the best idea right now," I explained, the girls understood totally I mean they were there when I was hit! We made out way through the kitchen and to the door that led outside, once outside I could see all the boys' eyes shoot to their respective partners.

I did good getting these groups together.

As the girls set their stuff down to go swimming I headed to the patio chairs that circled the fire pit, I sat on one of my legs as I watch the girls get in. I could tell they were having tons of fun with the guys, even Brandon had a smile on his face. In my mind, I could hear what Brandon had told me replaying.

Completely and utterly in love with you.

I've known this boy for what? A week? He can't be in love with me, can he?

I watched as the both the girls and guys splashed around in the pool, Layla and Musa were having fun racing Riven and Nabu, even beating them but what's new? Bloom was on Sky's shoulders attempting to stay up, but inevitably she fell in along with Sky. Brandon and Helia threw the football around, and Flora watched in astonishment. As for Tecna and Timmy well they stayed on the pools steps while they played games on their phones, they are literally made for each other. I can't believe after this short week of knowing these people, it's as if we've been best friends our entire lives!

"Stella why don't you come in?" shouted Sky as Bloom jumped onto his back unknowingly, he smiled

"I'm fine, how about I get you guys some snacks?" I replied as I got out of my seat, Musa and Layla's heads immediately shot up

"Stella that sounds amazing!" said Musa as she splashed Riven in the face, he didn't look too happy but he splashed her back, I laughed.

I opened the sliding door, I closed it while I went to get some snacks for the rest of the group. Looking around the kitchen I tried to figure out something that would feed eleven hungry teenagers, but nothing. I opened the pantry door and scanned the food that we had.

Spices, pasta shells, packaged foods my mom gets from clients but never eats, literally nothing! Looks like I'm going to have to call in some pizzas. I headed back outside, the others started to get tired so they were getting out and drying off.

"So it looks like we're going to be ordering pizza tonight," I stated as I shut the door, the others looked like they didn't have an issue with it.

"As long as there is some combo pizza somewhere in there I'm fine," stated Nabu as he dried the ends of his hair, Layla's shook her head in agreement.

"Alright-" I laughed, "and I know Sky likes his pineapple pizza" I had a look of disgust when I said that, Sky didn't look to happy that I was bashing his pizza choices.

"You know what Stella at least I have some flavor on my pizza, who even eats cheese pizza?" Sky said mocking me, the others laughed. I gave him the death stare as I pulled my phone out of my pajama pocket.

"Sorry Bloom I guess Sky thinks we're uncultured because we like cheese pizza," I laughed as I turned around, I called Pizza Palace which was right down the street

"Hi, I'd like to order one combo pizza, one cheese, one pepperoni and one meat lovers," I stated into the phone, luckily for me my parents order pizza from here so often that all I need to do is state my order and bam, its taken care of. After ending the call, I placed my phone back into my pocket.

The sun was just starting to set over the trees, so it's starting to get late and I've still yet to figure out what to do with my concert situation. Before I could even get a thought in, the others wanted to figure out something to do.

"Come on guys, I'm getting bored here!" stated Musa, she had her towel wrapped around her still

"I have an idea," Timmy stated, the others looked at him shocked

"This better not be one of your lame ideas," cursed Riven, sometimes I wonder how he can be so nice and such an asshole at the same time?
"Well Riven I've learned from you!" smirked Timmy, everyone else laughed Riven gave a snarky look

"Anyways, why don't we play a little game called Truth or Dare?" Timmy suggested, the other looks completely down for the game.

"Well you guys can play, I need to go get the pizza," I stated.

Over the time that I have been Starr, the one thing I've told myself to never ever wear shoulder pads and never play Truth or Dare. Playing that you are bound to get asked 'What is your biggest secret' or 'Do you have any secrets'. Now I'm not one to lie, how ironic, not like that at least so I don't endure myself in situations that would lead me to revealing my secret, no matter who it is playing.

"I'll come with you," stated Brandon as I went upstairs to go change into some more suitable clothes to go out in. So I put on some leggings, grey zip up hoodie and some white slides. Well it's not the most suitable outfit, but hey, it definitely in comfortable. I headed back downstairs to see Brandon waiting by the front door for me, I gulped as I walked down the stairs because I didn't know what he was going to say, or even what I was going to say! This boy just told me his true, and honest feelings about me. At least I think they are?

"Ready?" I asked grabbing my keys off the table near the door, just where I had left them before school the other day, I also grabbed my side bag because who wants to carry things?

"Definitely," he responded

"We'll be back!" I yelled through the house

"Be safe!" Sky responded as I heard laughter fill the house, it feels good that these people are happy to be around me, as in Stella not Starr. I opened the front door and walked out, Brandon followed behind me and shut the door. It didn't take long for something to come up, but I still didn't know what I was going to say.

"Look Stella I didn't mean to bombard you with my feelings like that, it just, felt like I needed to say what I felt in my heart," Brandon pleaded, I grabbed his arm and stopped him.

What did I just do? I have no idea what to say. So I'll just say what comes to mind.

"Honestly-" I started, "what you said did kind of catch me off guard, like, this has been one of the most mentally and physically draining weeks of my life! And that's saying lots, trust me,"

"It's kind of hard to realise you have feelings for someone when you have one of their psycho exes trying to make your life living hell!" I explained, Brandon started to look helpless, I grabbed his hands and held onto them.

"But for some reason you never left my mind since the day I've met you! Even after enduring all of those horrible things from Mitzi, I only wanted to see you. Even if I was enduring them because I wanted to see you.." I revealed to Brandon

"I know and I'm sorry," Brandon apologized

"No don't apologize! It may have crossed my mind at some point that you were the reason that all of this was happening to me but in reality it wasn't and I realize that now," I explained to Brandon but I feel like I am losing him in all of this heart to heart talk.

"All I'm trying to say is it isn't your fault what so ever," I finished my speech that I thought of on the spot, I have to give myself some credit I think I portrayed my feelings pretty damn good. Before he said anything Brandon grabbed me and brought me in for a hug, my face was squished against his chest because there was a relatively big height difference between us two.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you ever again, I promise you that," promised Brandon after realizing what he said I quickly hugged him back, I didn't want to let go but I forced myself to.

"Now how about we go get those pizzas? I am absolutely starving," I suggested with the biggest smile on my face, Brandon too looked extremely happy.

"Anything for you Princess."
