A/N: WELCOME TO DEAR CHARLIE! if you are in anyway confused please refer to Stella's Story on my sister's account Madison706. I don't own One Day by Charice.

Prologue

I couldn't get that image out of my head. The way those lyrics described my life pretty much to a tee. I just…couldn't believe it. I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter turning off the radio in the process. No that would never happen. Could it? I jumped when I heard a honk. I looked and realized I was at a stop sign. I stuck my handout giving the driver behind me a thumbs up as I began to drive again. But even then I was still so into that song. Why the hell was I listening to a country song? It was just a coincidence.

You know that saying 'My life flash before my eyes.', that's exactly what happened next. It's weird how just a matter of seconds can seem so slow and fast at the same time. When the car collided with mine that song was long gone from my head. I could see my family. Then the band. Then him. Us. When he saved me. Then he left. Then our first rehearsal as a girl group. It's weird that I didn't hear glass shatter or metal being torn. It was weird that I didn't feel a thing on my left side. It was weird that even though I was hit on the left side my head was pounding on the right. It was weird that I couldn't feel or hear any of that. All I saw and heard were memories. Especially the latest one. And I am a little scared that it's my last one.

"No! It's shoulder right, shoulder left, ball change into a turn over right shoulder THEN punch left!" I shouted at the 5 girls in front of me. It was literally three days after since the boys left and we were getting ready for a show.

Emzy was kneeling with her hands in her face, Jo was turned around not wanting to look at me, Maddy was glaring at me, Olivia was leaning down next to Emzy rubbing her back and Mo sat on her bum trying to process all that was happening.

"look maybe if we take it from the top one more time we can get this." Olivia tried reasoning as she stood up. But it kind of felt that she had said this before. I glanced at Mo, she felt it too. I sighed knowing Liv was right.

"Please. Just once more. Full out." i pleaded to them. They all glanced towards Olivia as they grunted to get back in position. I nervously nodded at Ray to press play.

All: (one day, one day, one day)
Jo: they're not gonna keep me down they're not gonna shut me out they're gonna do what they do, i do me
Maddy: i'm moving against the crowd i'm drowning out, way down they're gonna do what they do i do something original be unforgettable they're gonna know my name

Stella: i will fly high and free it's my fate wait and see one day
Emzy: i've been afraid before, to reach for something more but now i see that it's mine, i'll take it
Mo: just go ahead and try, you're not gonna change my mind there's no such thing as too late yeaaaaaahhhh!
All: (chorus)
Olivia: i'm on a mission, no longer listenin to anyone that says don't try sometimes you feel it, deep in your spirit it's like a fire that won't die Stella: (one day) wait and see (one day) oooh (one day) just wait and see
All: (one day) i'll make you a believer (one day) i got this all i need is (one day) don't try to tell me i can't (ooooh) (and now) i'm a light in the future (watch out) wont stop i'm a mover (one day) you're gonna know who i am (know who i am)
Emzy: i will fly high and free it's my fate wait and see, one day
All: one day, one day one day, one day, one day

"ok stells you were right. That dance combo felt better than the one i was doing." Jo said before drinking some water.

"yes but the lyrics to this song...ahhh the fans will love this song." i boasted in reply. This single is what i have been looking forward to since my husband got deployed back April.

Who is my husband you ask? Charlie Delgado, drum God. These five girls in front of still havent figured it out. It's quite funny actually. I would catch them stare at my hand then quickly whisper. They havent even asked about it until now right as was handed from my brother, the newest letter from Charlie.

"Ok I will ask her." i overheard Maddy say to the others. My left hand was in mid opening the envelope when i felt all eyes on me.

"What? It's just a letter." i told them.

"it's not the letter we are looking at." Mo said shakin her head with a smirk. I shrugged as i continued opening the envelope. I heard a few more murmors before i felt a tap on the shoulder. I sat the letter and envelope on the table before me my phone on top of it. I chuckled to myself as i folded my hands into my lap and gave my attention to my shoulder tapper.

"Yes. Maddy. You have my undivided attention." she slightly giggled before clearing her throat.

"How long have you had that?" Maddy tilted her head a little bit. I looked over my left shoulder.

"No no. This." Emzy,who was on my other side, said grabbing my left hand and pushing my ring in front of me.

"Are you?" Jo asked

"yeah we've been meaning to ask you about that." Mo said about herself and Olivia. I pulled my hand away and smiled.

"if i tell you, i want you guys to know that my mom and i are planning a bigger setting." i said to them hoping they understood.

"you mean Charlie finally popped the question?" Olivia squealed with a little hand clap. I laughed at sillyness.

"Not only that but eloped too." Ray said coming from around the side of the house. Gasps all around.

"thanks for letting THEM figure it out on their own." i told him with a playful glare.

"you're welcome." he said with a wink.

Ray and the rest of the Mudslide Crush decided to take a break. Some actually pursuing college. Some just other projects. But the tabloids and others would say it was because he was just trying to get closer to me, by managing the girls and I. So far that's partially true. He really was managing our group.

"How long did you know?" I heard Maddy ask Ray and her usual smack against his arm. He chuckled as he looked at me and then to the others.

"Since grad night. Don't know how any of you guys couldn't catch stella's glow that day." He said his face showing he was thinking back on that night. "she was beautiful." he whispered before walking away from us and to the stereo, though I was the only one who heard it.

"so you know we have to have a party tomorrow." Emzy said scooting closer to me, shaking me from my thoughts.

"yes a party." jo agreed pulling out a some paper and a pen.

"I don't know guys. I'd rather not. Since Charlie isn't here, you know. But thanks." I said hoping they understood.

But they didn't. Because the next day was full of surprises that I wasn't ready for.

a/n: long time no see, eh? I'm sorry! Really. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to chapters and since I have random chapters already written for this story it was hard to put it all in order. On top of life. And then a job, and then last night when I went to edit some more my computer just went black. Luckily it's okay now. Anyways. I'm still not fond of this chapter but I needed to be out. comments please! -vico
