Chapter Four: The Reactions To Stella's Disappearance
Stella's Mom's POV
I knock on Stella's door. Unlocked. Hmm. I open it and a note is in place of Stella.
Dear Anyone Who Wants To Know About Me,
I will be okay. I went to Wiz-Tech. A special private school in a special place. I did not go alone. I went with my best friend. He helped me out through thick and thin. I made a mistake. I stupid little mistake. One that cost me so much. So, So much. I will struggle, sure. But I will make it. I will write to each and everyone of you.
And if you don't see Ray…
You can kinda blame me…
JK. He is with me. I had to bring my bestie along. I know what you are thinking at this moment. Ray and Stella. BFFS? This is a cruel joke. But alas it is not. And I use alas much more as Stevie. Please replace me Lemonade Mouth. I will always be a fan, but I don't know when I will be returning so don't count on me being gone for a short time. I will be gone for at least a year if all turns out well. Please don't hate me. I would rather leave knowing I impacted a life in a great way and not in a terrible way.
Please believe me when I say I didn't want to leave, but I would be discriminated by you guys and our fan number would change drastically.
I only want what is best for you, so that is why I am running away. And only select people have access to where I am going. I am already enrolled and there is no turning back.
Love
Stella.
(Stevie)
She left. I knew something wasn't right with her. And now she is gone. Her friends should know about this.
Olivia's POV
We are practicing in detention. I guess old habits die hard you know? Stella's mom comes in and I ask, "Do you know why Stella isn't here?"
Stella's mom hands me the note and I read it out loud, "Dear Anyone Who Wants To Know About Me,

Scott says, "Is this a joke? This has to be a joke. Ray would never go for Stella."
"But he would go to his childhood friend Stevie." I say.
Mo says, "So who are we replacing Stella with?"
"Nobody." Wen says, "Scott could take over Stella's position."
Charlie says, "I guess your right. She got us here. We at least should leave her spot open if she returns."
"If." Scott says.
Olivia asks, "What are we going to do without her?"
