I woke up in my bedroom, and looked around. I was expecting Mai to be here, since she had been here last night.. maybe she had gone earlier and just not wanted to wake me up. I stumbled out of my room, still a little sleepy, and saw Shy and Emerson asleep on the couch.

"Aww.." I said as I walked into the kitchen and got myself a drink. Emerson walked in too and looked at me questioningly.

"Where's Mai?" he asked.

"I don't know, I think she must've left last night before I woke up or something." I said. "She was in my bed when I fell asleep.." I said thinking.

"I don't remember her leaving.." said Emerson thinking. "Shy, Seb, Larissa, and I were having a movie night last night so we would have seen." he said.

"I'm gonna call her." I said. Mai was definitely not one to do something like this, she'd leave while I was asleep, but at least leave me a text.

"Please leave your message for Sumaiya Hasania..."

"Fuck, Em she's not answering!" I said, starting to panic. She ALWAYS answered me...

"Shit I think I know what this is about.." said Emerson running to his room.

*EMERSON'S POV*

"Mai, hey!" I said, relieved that she was talking.

"Hey Em!" she said.

"Why didn't you answer Rem's call?" I asked.

"I- uhh.. you know.." she said, she almost sounded ashamed.

"I do know.. scared to confess?" I wondered aloud.

"Yeah.. I mean he just went out with Kaylen the other night.. she's got it all Em.. she's everything I'm not." I said.

"Mai, don't say that. Look, she's slutty I can't lie. I mean she comes back home smelling like other men's cologne.. we've all been trying to tell him but he refuses to listen." I said sighing.

"It's alright, I'll come over and apologize but  I'm just worried.." she said, I could hear the sadness in her voice.

"How come?" I asked.

"I'm worried I won't be able to hide my feelings much longer." I said. "I have no chance, lets be real. He's Remington Leith! He's the lead singer of a famous punk band!   And Kaylen.. she's so pretty. She's skinnier, prettier, she's got it all. I've got nothing on her, I mean I'm a trucker for fucks sake!" she said.

I sighed into the phone.

"Come over Mai, and tell him. You never know what will come of it." I said.

About a half hour later I pulled into the PR house and braced myself for what I would have to do.

"Mai!" said Remington as he opened the door and his arms for a hug.

"Hey Rem.." I said hugging him back.

Emerson gave me a look from behind Remington and I knew what I had to do.

"Oh Mai's here? Hey Mai!" said Larissa.

"Hey." I said as Remington lead me to his room.

"REMINGTON WANT SOME FRENCH TOAST?" screamed Sebastian.

"YES PLEASE SOME FOR MAI TOO!" he said smiling at me.

"GOTCHA!" said Sebastian.

I locked Remington's door and sat down on a bean bag.

"Rem.." I began.

"Mai, you're not doing well." he said looking at me. "Need anything? Water?" he asked.

"I'm fine but I've got to explain something.." I said.

"Anything, you know I'm always here for you." he said taking my hand.

I sighed and looked at the floor. "I'm not sure how much you can help me on this one.." I said. "Remington, we've been best friends for years. I mean I've been here for you through it all. From Palaye Royale's first song to The Relentless." I said.

"I know and I'm thankful for that." he said looking at me, his eyes giving a confused look.

"I've been with you since Monica, and now Kaylen.." I said, tears threatning to fall. "But little do you know how much pain it caused me.. to see the man I fell in love with go out with other girls, and still treat me as his best friend. How much pain it's caused me to see you go out with girls who are just so much prettier than I am.. so much skinnier..so popular.. so much better." I said.

Tears were now falling freely and I couldn't take it. I was so ashamed. I muttered a quick goodbye before I grabbed my bag and  ran out the door. I took one last glance at him and saw that he was looking at me in shock.

2 weeks and 1000 missed calls from Remington later, and I was still as upset as I was before. Emerson tried his best to help me but he couldn't and I knew that. I decided to make myself some tea and sit on my porch for a little.

"Why the fuck would you tell him Sumaiya?! You're such a fucking idiot!" I said cursing myself.

"No you're not.." said Remington's voice.

I jumped, not expecting to hear anyone reply.

"R-remington?! What are you doing here?" I asked seein him.

"I wanted to tell you something." he said sitting next to me.

"Remington, you don't feel the same, and I knew that. Emerson gave me false hope and I should never have listened. I mean you're amazing, Remington Leith for fucks sake! You don't want me! I don't know why you hang around me anyways.." I said, muttering the last sentence.

"Mai, it's because I love you! I love you and the only reason I got with Kaylen was to try and get over you." he said taking my hand. "I thought you were out of my league." he said.

"R-really?" I asked, a small smile flashing across my face.

"Of course. I wouldn't lie to you..be mine?" he asked.

"Yes!" I said smiling wide.

The man of my dreams was finally mine
