STELLAS POV

"Stella? Hello Stella are you here?"

"Oh CRAP! Get up get up get up!" I shoved Cassie hard "You need to go now!"

"Stella?" I heard Mo's voice from just outside the door, I panicked.

"Okay I'm up" Cassie said whilst stretching.

"My friend is here, you need to leave." She paused to stare at me. I could see the confusion clouding her face.

"You didn't tell them about me, did you?" She asked, avoiding eye contact with me.

I took in a breath. It's funny I know I lied to her but I didn't expect to be caught out this quickly. It was only last night that it happened.

….

FLASHBACK

"Sorry I'm late, I had to sneak out." Cassie smiled at me.

"You're lucky you're cute." She replied kissing me on the lips. I tensed a bit hoping she wouldn't notice, but she did. "Is everything okay?"

I bit my lip, wondering if I should tell her about all the drama that's been going on since I last saw her this morning. "Yeah, everything's fine." I said with as much confidence as I could master up.

Her reaction made me breathe in relief; "Great, then we can go have some fun." She said.

"Sounds great, just somewhere exclusive please." She faltered at my words. A hurt expression crossed her face. "What's wrong?" I asked confused.

"You haven't told anyone about us, have you?" She looked so fragile in this moment. I had the instant need to protect her.

"I told the band." She looked at me carefully "They are happy for me, but they want me to wait to tell everyone until all the panic of the tour is over." The lie flew effortlessly from my mouth that I even believed it myself. I looked at Cassie wondering if she caught on to my fib. She smiled, her smile made me breathless so I mirrored it.

She came towards me and kissed me sweetly. She began to pull away but I wasn't having it. I grabbed a hold of her and brought her lips back to mine, reconnecting the kiss. I didn't give her a sweet one though; I kissed her passionately trying to diminish the guilt I was feeling. She responded by putting her tongue in my mouth, I moaned.

When she pulled away I almost whimpered. "How about we just go back to yours instead?" she kinked her eyebrow. Even though I knew it was a risk I nodded my head anyway not being able to resist.

"Mine it is."

END OF FLASHBACK

…..

"I can explain." I said as she got up and immediately began looking her things. I almost forgot that Mo was right outside.

"Explain what? That you lied to my face?" I sucked in a breath as I took in her harsh words.

"Cassie, I'm sorry, it's just I'm not ready to tell everyone and I didn't want to disappoint you so I guess I figured it would be better to lie about it all." Everything came rushing out of my mouth that I was sure she didn't understand any of it. Her next words though told me otherwise.

"Well it all turned out great for you didn't it? You lie to me, use me and now feed me some shit excuse." My eyes began to water. Cassie didn't notice though, she just continued to put on her clothes in a rush.

"I'm not using you I swear." I told her carefully, hoping she could hear the sincerity in my voice.

She looked at me in what looked like cold hatred; "I wish I could believe you Stella I really do. But until you tell everyone about us then I'm going to feel used every single day."

"Cassie…" I started

"No Stella." She said interrupting me "Do you know that I felt inferior to you. But now, now I just feel disappointed." She grabbed her purse and turned her back on me. "Don't worry; I'll go out the balcony."

I didn't know what to say so I didn't say anything at all. Watching her leave, I instantly regretted it.

"Stella?" Oh crap. I got up and quickly put some shorts and a tank top on. I went to open the door and frowned at what I saw.

Instead of a normally well pampered Mohini, a distressed one was looking back at me.

"Jesus Christ I have been banging on your door for the last five minutes Stella." I frowned. Was it pile on Stella day or something?

"Sorry." I replied "Late night." I went to sit on the couch, Mo following me close behind. Mo didn't say anything and I looked at her to see what was wrong. She had the oddest expression on her face.

"Oh" she finally said "Charlie." I frowned again staring at her. Could this whole jealous thing really be getting to her? I wanted to tell her that I wasn't with Charlie (the devil spawn) but instead Cassie; 'Girl that I met at the club, girl that I like, girl that I really care about and girl that pretty much just broke up with me…oh and she's a girl.' But of course I being the coward that I am didn't say that. Its sucks that I can't even open up to my best friend.

"Yeah…Charlie."

"Oh so you guys are doing well?" Mo asked.

"Yeap, goody good good." I started to move my hands in a weird hand jive thing. Mo just stared at me awkwardly. "So anyway, why is it that you came by?" I asked changing the subject.

"Oh yeah, sorry, Um we're having an urgent band meeting in Scott and I's room."

"Scott and I? Are you two love birds sharing a room?" I asked with a smirk.

Mo smiled and it seemed like all her thoughts were off of Charlie; "Yes we are."

"Well that's great Mo. I'm happy for you; Scott's a really great guy. I hope you know how lucky you are to have him." I said carefully, trying to find any evidence in her expression telling me that she thinks otherwise.

"Yeah." She said "I know I am." She looked like she wanted to say more, but I interrupted her.

"So next thing you know you two will be living in a house together, getting married and having kids. Make sure you name one after me." We both laughed and for a moment it felt like old times.

"Whatever" she said getting up "Just be in me and Scott's room in five."

"Okay." I called after her. When she left I huffed in aggravation. Band meeting, just what I need.

….

WENS POV

"So Wen what do you think? Wen?" I blinked and looked up at Scott.

"Oh sorry, um what was the question?" I heard Olivia scoff. I looked towards her but she was refusing to make eye contact with me, just like she had been doing since the band meeting started. I couldn't help but stare at her though. She was wearing a low cut top and tight jeans that fit her perfectly. I shook my head. Why am I thinking about Olivia, I'm with Sydney again? The girl I love and who is sleeping soundly in my bed. I smile.

"The question is; should we perform at the rock n roll benefit at Madison square garden or open for Linkin Park outside time square?

"Oh um the one at Linkin Park." I said distractedly.

I heard everyone huff.

"What?" I asked.

"Okay." Mo said standing up "Why don't we just take a vote?" Everyone nodded and Mo proceeded on. Madison square garden won, it was unanimous, though I didn't bother to put my hand up, still lost in my own thoughts about Sydney.

"Great, so tomorrow night six o clock." Mo said and we all, minus Scott and Mo, got up to leave.

I saw Olivia rush off in a huff so I followed her quickly.

"Olivia, wait up!" I yelled and she stopped instantly. She didn't turn around though so I walked around her so we were face to face. She looked at me head on and I faltered a bit when I saw the expression in her face. "Is everything okay?" I asked worried.

I waited for what felt like a while for her to answer getting lost in her blue eyes and wondering if me being with Sydney was the right thing.

"No" she said harshly. "Everything is not okay." She stared at me a little while longer. I didn't know how to respond with her looking at me like this, like she hated me.

"Olivia…" I whispered as I touched her shoulder. Her reaction was not what I was expecting. She flinched, moved away, and then slapped me. This has been happening too much lately.

"Do. Not. Touch. Me. Ever. Again." I just stared at her in shock, rubbing my cheek as she walked away.

What is going on?

….

OLIVIAS POV

Every part of me was boiling, raging as I stormed through my room. I stomped and picked up the nearest thing I could reach, a candle, I threw it at the wall, feeling a little bit of satisfaction as I watched the sparkling shards fall to the ground.

How dare he. How dare he ask me if everything is okay. How dare he touch me or look at me like he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He shouldn't be surprised; this is how a heart broken person is supposed to act. They're supposed to cry hysterically which I did for several hours last night. They're then supposed to neglect everyone and eat a lot of ice cream while watching sappy movies which I did early this morning. Finally they're supposed to be insanely angry and want to rip the guy's head off, which I was doing right now. Of course these phases are supposed to extend to a longer period of time but what can I say; actually seeing someone who you wanted to spend the rest of your life with having sex with their stepmom really makes the third phase not too hard to come by.

I couldn't believe Wen. What kind of sick bastard sleeps with his father's wife? Of course I have to admit it all makes sense. The way Wen is around Sydney. The way she obviously flirts with him, wearing skimpy clothing as she does so. And of course the way she acts towards me, like I'm nothing but a little girl…a pest.

But I know the real reason. She's intimidated and I am going to do everything I can to use this knowledge against her. But first I need to find a way to get back at Wen.

And that's why in all my anger and frustration I didn't blurt out to Wen that I knew about him and Sydney. I keep telling myself that's it's not because of the way his eyes bawled into mine, or the fact that his presence still gives me tingles. It's because I am going to hurt him so bad that he isn't going to suspect a thing.

I laugh to myself. Hysterical.

Feeling better about the whole situation already I sit on the couch and put e news on. However my mood instantly shifts.

Breaking news, we have reason to believe that a member of world famous band Lemonade Mouth is in fact engaged, and no, it is not the infamous Mo and Scott or even Mo and Charlie for that matter but a red headed keyboarder/songwriter and a significant other. You heard it here first, Wen Gifford is getting married! But wait a minute, who is he getting married to? Because Wen is the only band mate engaged if you know what I mean. That's right Olivia White is unfortunately not the lucky lady but in fact another red hot lady or so we've been told.

"She was very beautiful, and looked older than Wen Gifford"

A receptionist at the hotel Lemonade Mouth is staying at brought the news to us saying that surprisingly Wens fiancé was not at all quiet about where she stands in Wens life. Well it is about time Wen found someone whom can 'Be Heard'. Let's just hope this marriage lasts unlike other numerous Hollywood power couples that have fallen down the hill such as-"

Engaged. He was engaged to her. Is that even legal?

I picked up another candle; "AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!" I screamed as this candle joined its friend in the form of a million pieces.

I stormed out of the hotel room, letting my anger control me. When I reached my destination I banged on the door hard. He opened up instantly. I didn't give him time to react; I kissed him passionately while using one of my hands to slam the door behind me.

"Olivia…" he pulled away whilst breathing heavily "What are you doing?"

"I know this is sudden" I said breathing hard as well "But I could really use the release."

He just continued to look at me as if wondering what I was up to.

"Please" I whispered "Please Charlie."

He thought for a second but of course him being the guy; "Okay"

I smile and bring my lips back to his, kissing him in a hungry manner. We ended up in his bedroom and I began to take my clothes off, Charlie following in example.

Once we were both completely naked I lay on his bed, him on top of me. It's funny I didn't feel a single insecurity as I did with Wen, maybe it's because I simply did not care anymore.

I took a deep breath when Charlie put his manhood inside of me, still not been used to the pain. Charlie began pumping inside of me hard…a little too hard.

"Ow Charlie your hurting me" I said praying that he'd go slow, just like Wen did. Charlie just ignored me and continued to moan. "Charlie" I said again.

"Shhhh" he said putting his hand over my mouth. I panicked as I remembered. It felt so familiar I didn't know what to do. So I just continued to lie there as I let tears fall down my eyes.

When Charlie was done he got up off me. "I gotta go. Let yourself out when you ready." I nodded in reply and continued to lie there, even when he left.

This was not the satisfying sex I had craved for, had come to Charlie for.

I felt used.

…..

MOS POV

"Ugh, what are you doing?"

"Getting my daily dose of The Music Scene." Scott replied whilst smirking.

"Didn't you get a forever dose when Moxie practically embarrassed us in front of the whole world?" I asked as I sat down next to him.

He thought for a second; "I thought it was actually quite funny." I laughed and smacked him on the back of his head.

"Yeah it was even funnier when I had to explain it all to my father." I said jokingly but Scott's expression got serious.

"You miss him don't you?" I looked away.

"Is it that obvious?" Scott chuckled slightly and began rubbing my leg.

"Yes it is." He said giving me a sweet kiss. I pulled away and looked at him carefully.

"Scott, there's something I have to tell you…" Scott raised an eyebrow. I took a deep breath and was about to say more when Moxie's big mouth interrupted me.

"Welcome to the music scene joining us today is the rival band to Lemonade Mouth, Mudslide Crush."

You have got to be kidding me.

"Mudslide Crush?" Scott turned his attention from me and towards the TV. Sure enough there sitting where we were only a few days ago was new guitarist Dean, drummer Rick, back up guitarist Mitchell and lead single…Ray.

"Welcome to the music Scene." Moxie said.

"Thanks it's great to be here" Ray replied with his signature smirk, causing many of the audience to swoon. I shook my head in anger.

"It's great to have you here. So before we get into how everything is going with your band, we'd like to know how you guys became enemies with Lemonade Mouth."

"Well we never really got along in school because the band was doing all they could to stay on top. This includes ruining out sets, tormenting us; Stella Yamada even spit lemonade on me. It got to the point where we couldn't take it anymore so we let them steal our sets and any gigs we had." I couldn't believe what I was hearing; neither could Scott by the looks of it. I wanted to punch the TV in. That little scum!

"That is terrible" Moxie said "Please tell more" I growled. I knew Moxie was out to get us.

"Well I'm sure you all know that Scott used to be in our band, well unfortunately he left because of some drama going on between Mo, him and me." Oh no.

"What is Ray even talking about" Scott asked confused. I didn't answer instead I was paralyzed, frozen to watch.

"Really? What kind of drama?" Moxie asked.

"Well Scott was jealous of Mo and me. It's silly really; you see Mo and I were lovers." The audience gasped, even Moxie and Ray's band mates looked surprised. I couldn't move.

"Lovers?" Moxie asked.

"Yes, in sophomore year Mo and I were sleeping with each other-" Scott paused the TV.

"What is he talking about?" he asked. I took in a deep breath, not knowing how to answer.

"I"

"Please tell me he is lying." I looked at Scott who was staring at the frozen screen which happened to be paused on a smirking Ray. I whimpered. Scott immediately got up, putting as much distance as he could between the two of us. "Oh my god" he said.

"Scott listen to me it was one time okay, Ray is lying about the rest it only happened once"

"That's not the point Mo! I can't believe this, when did it happen?" I faltered hearing the coldness in Scott's voice.

"After summer vacation, it was at one of Ray's parties, you were helping Jules with some school work." I let out looking at Scott carefully. He shook his head.

"I can't believe this" he said simply.

"Scott-" I began

"I can't believe you would do that to me. I was fifteen Mo and I was crazy about you." I didn't say anything and instead let a few tears fall. "I remember that day. You were so angry about me for helping Jules because you thought I was cheating on you with her, when you were fucking Ray!"

"Scott I told you it was only that one time;"

"No Mo! I felt bad just for helping her, that whole night I was thinking about you, feeling guilty over not being with you! God dammit Mo you go and have sex with my best friend and you don't even tell me!" I had never seen him so angry; my tears were now falling out of my eyes completely.

"Scott I was going to tell you;"

"You should have told me when it happened. You should have told me that night that we had sex, when I said I was happy that we were each other's firsts. Cause I was Mo, I was so happy that night."

"I know and I didn't want to ruin that for you okay, it just never seemed like the right time and I would take it back if I could okay, I would take everything back but I can't and I am so so sorry Scott." I was full on crying at this point, I waited for Scott to comfort me. But it never happened.

"I don't even know you anymore." He said simply. I looked at up him.

"Of course you do, you know me more than anybody else." I said quietly, trying to control my whimpering.

"I thought I did, but I don't." Scott began to walk away but I grabbed him.

"Please Scott don't go, don't leave me." I pleaded crying my eyes out.

"Mo" something in his voice forced me to take a step back. Scott didn't turn around as he said his next words. "I can't even look at you right now. I don't think I'll ever be able to again."

"But I love you Scott. I love you so much. Tell me that you still love me, please Scott. Just tell me that you love me." I hoped he could hear the desperation in my voice; hear how much I needed him.

"I can't do that. Because right now I don't know if I do."

I stood there frozen, watching as he walked away. Once he was out the door I fell to the ground and cried more, feeling like I want to die.

…

OLIVIAS POV

Ten minutes after Charlie left i finally found the courage and the energy to get up. I shakily looked around for all my clothes, worried that Charlie was going to come home and want to have sex again. The thought made me hurry up more. It's funny, once the shock of everything wears off all you feel is fear.

I almost cried when I struggled to find my bra, I looked around the other side of the bed and saw it half way in, half way out of one of Charlie's draws. I yanked the draw open and pulled out my bra. What I saw under it made me scrunch my nose.

A picture. Of a girl. A girl that looked a lot like Mo.

I turned the photo around, wondering if there was a name on the back. Bingo. Victoria Vega.

I shook my head, wondering who this girl was. I thought for a second, even though it creped me out, it wasn't any of my business. I put it back but once again my curiosity got the better of me when I saw a bottle of pills. I picked them up and read the description.

Addressed to Charlie Delgado.

I continued reading and frowned when I saw that it was addressed to him no more than a week ago. What are these for? I looked to the other side of the bottle and what I read nearly made me drop it.

For the mentally unstable.

What scared me the most was that the bottle was full.

"What are you doing?"

I froze.

I turned around slowly.
