[Vanessa's POV]

It's been an hour since Timothée dropped Vanessa at her apartment and she was chilling on the couch when she heard a knock on the door. Opening the door to reveal her ex. Before he could say anything, she slammed the door in his face but his foot blocked it and he let himself in.

"What do you want?" A now angry Vanessa asks

"I need to talk to you"

"I'll give you a minute go."

"Lindsey is pregnant"

"Oh great, the girl you cheated on me with is carrying your offspring. Congrats!" She says extra sarcastically. "Now what does this have to do with me?"

"I didn't know who else to go to. I don't know what to do."

With that said Vanessa's phone starts ringing as her mom is calling, "Wait here, give me two seconds" she tells Gerald and goes to the other room. While on the phone she hears a bit of conversation going on from the living room. Assuming Becca came home and is confused she walked back to the living room to see that he was now holding two pizzas, her passport and journal.

"Where did you get that?"

"Someone came and dropped it off"

Vanessa goes to pick up her journal but as she opens it a sticky note is stuck on the first page
'if you ever need to escape reality I will happily be your your guide - T' the note also had Timothée's address on the back. Looking up at Gerald she asks

"Why are you still here?"

"Because I miss you and I want you back and I'm sorry"

"No nope get out" she says while pushing him out of her apartment and slamming the door in his face. She grabs her jacket and leaves her apartment with Gerald following behind her.

"Please can we just talk"

"No because you did, with other girls" she exclaims as she exits her building.

"Baby please" He begs, Vanessa stops walking and turns around looking him dead in the eye

"I am not your fucking baby" flipping him off and leaving him shocked outside the building.

Vanessa runs into a small liquor store next to her building, noticing that the paparazzi was camped outside her apartment, view the fight and was now looking for her. She grabbed a six pack and when she saw that they were gone started walking to her destination.

She knocks on the door and waits for it to open

"Hey"

"Hey, need a drink" holding up the six pack that she just bought

"Come on in"  Vanessa enters and places the six pack on the table by the door, turning around to face him

"Did you come by my apartment earlier T?"

"Yeah but you were busy. You left your stuff in my car so I thought I would drop it off and we could do something but your friend was there"

"He's my ex. A real douche bag if you ask me"

"I'm sorry what happened?"

"When we were dating he cheated on me with half of Manhattan and now he's knocked up one those girls and he was at my apartment today cause he claims he misses me but I know he just wants to fuck" Vanessa confesses getting emotion as she begins tearing up. Timothée notices this and puts her in his embrace. Now crying Vanessa carries on speaking
"He hurt me, he hurt me so badly and I used to blame myself for it"

Timothée let's go of Vanessa and looks her in her eyes
"I am always here for you, you're back into my life and I'm never going to let you go and if he ever tries to come near you ago I'll crush him" she starts laughing and gives him a hug

"Thank you, I'm sorry for throwing this on you I just haven't told anyone and seeing him today made me really angry and upset"

"It's okay really, you can tell me anything. You can trust me and I'm always here to listen okay?"

"Can we watch a movie or something"

"Yeah of course what do you wanna watch?"

"Anything but as long as you're not in it"

"Haha sure"

Timothée put on Coco and sat back on the couch next to Vanessa. Vanessa crawled into Timothée's embrace now cuddling him. They both fell asleep in each other's embrace not finishing the movie.
