As I got back to where everyone was, I notice everyone started packing up.
"Hey Madelyn." I exclaimed as she turned around shocked not knowing I was there.

"Hey" she replied.

"Am I still going back with you or are you taking Chase?" I wondered. Needing to know whether I should find a way back or not.

"Oh yeah I was gonna ask if that would be alright because me and chase were gonna go out. I completely forgot. So are you alright to get a way home?"

"Yeah! Of course go have fun with Chase. I'll just call an Ube-" I started but was interrupted by none other. Rudy Pankow.

"I'll drive you" he put out as an offer. I just looked at him in pure shock on why he was being nice to me.

"Perfect!" Madelyn said, her voice filled with joy.

As soon as Madelyn walked away I turned all my attention to Rudy. "Don't worry I'll call an Uber." I said thinking he was just saying that so Madelyn wouldn't feel bad.

"What? No I mean it I'll drop you off. I mean we are going to the same place anyway." Rudy said as I kept a confused expression on my face.

"Why?" I asked out of disbelief.

"Why not" he shrugged.

"Here's a reason" I said pointing to my hand as if it was a notepad. "You don't like me" I turned my head back to him.

"That's not true Vanessa, I never said that." He said with an innocent look.

"Well you sure act like it. Why?" I asked kept my stare at him.

"Why what?" He asked confused.

"Why do you act like you hate me. As far as I'm aware I haven't done shit to you. So why from the minute you walked in those two glass doors did you start acting like a dick?" I asked.

"Okay yes I'll admit it I was a dick. Honestly I don't really know why, I was kinda intimidated by you and how you and Drew looked at each other pissed me off. But I'm sorry I really am sorry, it was dumb I don't know why I did it but it wasn't worth it." He said frustratedly then with a sorry tone.

"Okay... but your not gonna try and drive me off a cliff right?" I asked with a slight smile on my face.

"I can't make any promises." We both let out a giggle. "Plus it would be great to get to know each other better, you know, with the whole 'love interests' shit we have todo on the show" he said with a smile.

"Right" I said as he started getting his stuff and we walked to his car.

After we talked for a bit in the car and then got to the hotel I grabbed my phone and purse. We started walking in, and to the elevators. As soon as Rudy pressed our floor number I started looking for my room key.

"Shit" I mumbled looking down ruffling through my purse.

"What" Rudy said. He must've heard me.

"Oh it's just I gave Madelyn my room key yesterday when she went to get food and I never grabbed it back off her, and I only had one. Shit" I replied starting to get my phone out to text her.

Rudy put his hand over my phone and I looked at him. "It's fine just chill at mine until they get back and you can have your key back" He said sending a reassuring smile.

"Really? Thanks." I said as the elevator doors opened and we walked to his apartment.
