The next morning, Stella woke up seeing Flora in the kitchen making a smoothie.

"Hey" Flora greeted with a smile.

"Hey" Stella said wearing a dressing gown.

"How was the big anniversary dinner?" Flora asked.

"Well, we never actually got to dinner. We kind of broke up instead" Stella explained.

"What!" Flora said and she accidently started the blender without the lid on it and the fruit blew up.

"Jeez, Flora, it's on the ceiling" Stella said looking up.

"It's okay, this is more important than fruit. You broke up?"

"Yes, but I stayed up all last night, and realised just how much I love Brandon. Yes, we've got our problems, and yes, finding time for each other is difficult, but I really want to make it work."

"Hey, we should start getting up soon. We've got to see Ellie this morning about the album re-recording this morning.

"Are you sure you're up to it, I am, after all that has been happening?" Stella asked concerned.

"It will be good for me" Flora said spelling the fruit off the ceiling. "I need something to take my mind off of Helia. He wants space, so I'm giving it to him."

Stella sipped her coffee. "Alright, let's go wake up the girls."

At the same time, Brandon woke up find that he was still at Ellie's house. Brandon slowly walked into the lounge and checked his messages on his mobile.

"Hi, it's me" a voice Stella left on Brandon's mobile said. "I've been trying to reach you all night. I feel awful. Please, Brandon, you've got to know that there is nothing that will stop me from being with you. This whole taking a break thing is just stupid. I was just so stressed and tired last night that I wasn't thinking straight."

"Yeah!" Brandon yelled causing Ellie to wake up.

"I'm just so sorry I put you through it. And, you know, I don't want to get apologise over a machine. So, I love you."

"I love you too" Brandon said.

"And you know, I'm going to go to bed now, but, I will stop by after I visit Ellie tomorrow morning at 8.30."

"Okay" Brandon said realising that he was in Ellie's house and he frantically stared looking for a clock.

Brandon found a clock and it said almost 8.30 and he silently swore.

"Morning Brandon" Ellie said flirtatiously.

"Ellie, Ellie, the girls are going to be here in 5 minutes, at 8.30."

"Oh no! I completely forgot!" Ellie said and she ran into her room and chucked on an outfit.

"Ellie, Ellie, how's it coming?"

"I'm coming" Ellie called. "Why are you rushing me? Stella won't care that you're here."

"Yes she will. She wants to apologise about the fight we had last night."

"You must be so happy" Ellie said rolling her eyes, not even caring.

"Yes, yes I am, one of the many things I'm feeling."

"Let's go before Stella and the girls arrive" Ellie said opening the door to find the girls standing there.

"Girls!" Ellie said loud as she quickly pushed Brandon behind the door. "Good morning."

"Hey, so what are the arrangements with today's performance?" Musa asked getting down to business.

"Wow, all work and no play, Riven must be getting anxious" Ellie joked.

Musa looked and Ellie with a glare and Ellie stopped laughing.

"What's wrong with Stella?' Ellie asked seeing that Stella was observing her phone nonstop.

"I want to be free of a guilty conscience. I want to apologise to Brandon for what I said last night" Stella said not giving her eye contact.

"Well, I know for a fact that Brandon would want that more than anything in the world" Ellie said subtly looking at Brandon behind the door.

"How?" Tecna asked.

"He came to the party last night with the boys. Brandon seemed really bummed" Ellie explained.

"How was your birthday party anyway?" Layla asked.

"It was fantastic" Ellie replied. "Shame you guys couldn't go"

"Yeah, we're sorry about that" Flora said sadly.

"Doesn't matter, the important thing is that we must know if Brandon danced with stupid bimbos, because if he did, he is so going down" Stella said angrily to Ellie.

Ellie's eyes went wide and Brandon froze from behind the door.

"He didn't!" Ellie quickly added. "In fact, he didn't even go near a single girl the whole night."

"Really?" Stella asked raising her eyebrow. "That is so sweet" she added softly.

"So, anyway, what are the plans for today, Ellie?" Musa asked skipping the subject.

"Oh right" Ellie said remembering the plans. "Okay, the limo is arriving a little after 5pm and will take you to the studio. You will perform Musa's song, Tecna's songs, and Flora's new song that she sung on the morning show" she informed.

Flora looked down remembering her song, but the only thing that was on her mind was Helia.

"I can't be with someone who doesn't trust me."

"I hate what you're becoming"

Those were the only things that were on Flora's mind. She was having second thoughts about choosing her music career over Helia.

"Great, sounds like a lot of fun" Tecna said with a smile.

"Anyway" Musa continued letting herself in and sitting on the couch. "How is our publicity going?"

"Ellie" Layla began. "The door, is it broken or something?" she asked seeing Ellie standing by the door still open, hiding Brandon.

"Oh, no, it's just, ah, it's a little stuffy in here" Ellie said seeing Brandon still behind it.

"Yeah, it is isn't it?" Stella said walking around near the door.

Brandon peeped through the peephole in the door to get a look at Stella. Stella saw something and peeped back through it. Brandon immediately ducked.

"Stella?" Flora called seeing Stella look through the peephole.

Stella turned her head back and placed her bag on the couch.

"Sorry, I thought I saw something" Stella said.

"Ooh...Ellie" Bloom began. "Is there a guy in your apartment?"

The girls all looked at Ellie.

"No! Why would there be?" Ellie answered starting to get nervous.

"There is, that's why she won't close the door, because the guy is-" Stella began.

"Not hiding behind the door!" Ellie yelled interrupting Stella.

"Of course not. I wasn't going to say that" Stella said.

Ellie and Brandon silently sighed in relief.

"I was going to say that he is in the shower" Stella continued. "Well, we will get out of your way then" she added leaving her bag on the couch and walking out of the apartment with the girls behind her.

"We'll see you at the recording studio tonight" Bloom said and she closed the door and they left.

The girls walked outside and were standing at the front of the apartment building.

"Girls, you go on ahead, I am going to Red Fountain to talk to Brandon" Stella said as she turned the opposite direction to the girls and walked off.

Flora looked at the girls then at Stella who was walking away and something clicked in her head.

"Girls, Stella left her bag back in Ellie's apartment. I'm just going to run in and get it for her" Flora said and she headed back inside the lobby and waited for the elevator.

The others looked at each other than shrugged. They walked into a white rental car that Tony gave them and drove off.

Back in Ellie's apartment Ellie looked at Brandon who was red in the face.

"I don't know how they knew that" Ellie said as she turned and headed to her bedroom.

Brandon stood there for a second watching Ellie leave. He noticed Stella's bag on the couch and went over and picked it up. All of a sudden, Flora barged back into the apartment.

"I'm sorry Ellie, but Stella left her..." Flora said and stopped when she saw Brandon standing in Ellie's apartment holding Stella's bag.

"Brandon?" Flora said confused and shocked.

"Oh, this couldn't get any worse" Brandon thought as he stood still in shock.

"Brandon!" Ellie called. "I found your wallet in my bed...room" Ellie slowly added seeing Flora standing in the lounge.

Flora looked at Brandon then at Ellie. Flora had discovered their dirty little secret. Flora had discovered that Brandon had cheated on Stella.
