The next morning, Stella woke up and noticed that she was in her room. She rolled over only to find that she wasn't alone, Shane was lying next to her. With that she looked under the covers and seen they were fully dressed so she was relieved.

She got out of bed carefully, making sure not to wake up Shane. When she went downstairs, she noticed Aiden sitting on the couch. She rubbed her fingers on her temples and walked over to the couch.

"Hey bub." She said softly as she held her hands to her head.

"Hey sis." He looked over and seen her, "What's wrong?"

"Just have a headache, that's all." She answered and sat down beside him.

"Well, you did drink a lot along with Tony." 

"Really now?"

"Yeah, but for your headache we have pain killers in the bathroom if you need them."

"Cool, are they in the upstairs or the downstairs bathroom?"

"In the downstairs one, but you stay sitting, I'll go get them." He stood up and walked away before she could object.

A few minutes later he returned with a small tray that had a cup of coffee, a little bowl of sugar and a small bowl of creamer along with two pills. He then set the tray on the table in front of her.

"Here you go."

"Thank you." She smiled as she put the cream and sugar in her coffee then took the pills, washing them down with the coffee.

"Anything for my sis." He smiled back at her, "So, do you remember anything from last night?"

"Only us hanging out, listening to music, dancing and me playing guitar while singing."

"Well, then be glad that's all you remember."

"Why, what happened?"

"You and Tony got into a argument last night." He sighed.

"What?!"

"It all started with him telling you to slow down on your drinking but you objected. Then you started dancing, you lost your balance and fell over." He explained.

"Oh damn, so we only got into an argument just cause I wouldn't slow down on my drinking?"

"Well, there's more. When you fell, you fell into his guitar. It fell on you some so you got mad and kicked it."

"Oh no!" She put a hand to her face, "Is it broke?"

"Only a little bit."

"Now I feel bad. When I see him, I am going to apologize as much as I can."

"Yeah and maybe when he's sober he will understand that you didn't mean to."

"This might be a poor excuse but I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing at the time. Hell I was so drunk last night that I don't remember hardly anything that happened last night."

"I figured you didn't remember so that's why I told you. So, when you see him and he gives you dirty looks or is snotty to you then you know why."

"Thanks bub, maybe I will get lucky and won't remember what happened. Is he even still here?"

"Yeah, him and Jayme are downstairs. When I looked, they were still asleep."

"Oh okay, well I'm going to wait till he wakes up and if he remembers then I'm going to tell him that I'm sorry."

"What do you mean if he remembers?"

"Exactly what I said."

"You need to say sorry even if he doesn't remember because someone will remind him or he will remember when he sees his guitar."

"Yeah so? Then when he does, I will say sorry but I'm not bringing it up first."

"He might get mad at you even more if he finds out you knew before him and didn't confront him." Aiden stated as Stella stood up.

"Oh well, Aiden, I don't care. Let Tony get mad, he'll get over it. I'm not staying here much longer, I'm going back to New York whether anyone likes it or not!" She turned around and seen Shane at the bottom of the stairs.

"So, you don't care how I feel?" Shane asked with hurtful eyes.

"I didn't say that." 

"You might as well have said it. God Stella, I'm breaking up with Kelly for you. So that we can be together but you're just going back to New York."

"Don't break up with her for me, do it for yourself Shane. Plus, I can't stay here any longer, all my stuff is in mine and Mackenzie's apartment."

"Buy new stuff."

"Oh my God! I can't leave my stuff in my apartment. Damn, how conceited are you?!" She yelled then stormed up to her room.

"Didn't mean to piss her off. Sorry for thinking about my feelings." He said out loud more to himself than anyone else.

"If you care about my sister the way you say you do then you would be thinking about her feelings too. She doesn't have the money to stay here and buy all new stuff." 

"She has a rich family. I figured our guy's mom gave her an inheritance."

"Just because we're rich doesn't mean anything! Is that why you want to be with her? Because her family is rich? Well, if it is then you can think twice about being with her! Hell, growing up she hardly ever got new stuff, all those clothes she had and always wore, wasn't new, they were hand me downs from our sister. Growing up me and Abigail got treated way better than she did!" Aiden went off on Shane.

"Damn dude, I was just saying. Don't go off on me."

"I can go off on you if I want! Especially when it comes to my sister!" Aiden stepped up to Shane closely.

"What's with all the yelling?" Mackenzie asked as she walked down the stairs.

Aiden shook his head as he stepped away from Shane, "Nothing, nothing at all." He then stormed up to his room.

"Okay then?" Mackenzie asked clueless once Aiden was gone.

"I messed up really bad." Shane frowned.

"What happened?"

"I said stupid things."

"Is that why Aiden was yelling?"

"You can say that, yes."

"What did you say?" She sighed.

"Stupid shit, how Stella must not care how I feel because she's going back to New York. I told her to forget about her stuff, stay here and buy all new stuff. Then when she walked off Aiden told me that she doesn't have the money to buy all new stuff. That's when I said she has a rich family and that I thought she got an inheritance from her mom. So he went off on me thinking I only wanted to be with Stella because I thought she was rich along with her family being rich."

"Oh no."

"I messed up, didn't I?"

"Well duh, you shouldn't have said those things."

"I figured, well if anyone asks I walked home." He told her as he walked to the door.

"Wait." She quickly put her shoes on and wrote down saying where she went, "I'll take you home." She walked to him and grabbed the keys to Stella's car.

"You sure? I mean I can walk."

"Yes, I'm sure."

They then got into the car and went to Shane's house.
