Sebastian's POV:

Seeing the sight of my girl cry hurt me so much. I never want to see her like this. Ever. Now it's my job to protect her and make her happy, but I feel like I've failed.

"Sweetheart, come here. Shhh" I pulled her into a warm hug and just let her cry on my chest. I didn't want to ask straight away as she may not want to talk about it.

"Talk to me when you're ready love. Take a deep breath. I hate seeing you cry." I said, giving her forehead a kiss and stroking her soft hair.

"I'm sorry" Ana said. That broke my heart.

"No darling. Don't apologise. You're my main priority. Never feel like you are any less."

"S-Sebastian I-" she broke down again. I wrapped my arms around her tighter, wiping the tears off of her beautiful face.

"Jeffrey Kingsley called, the owner of the club I worked at.... He fired Victoria and I." She said, sniffling.

"He what? I will never allow that. How dare he do that to you?" I said frustratedly.

"It's ok baby. I just need to talk with Victoria. Please?" She looked up at me with pleading eyes. How could I ever reject that look?

"Of course love. I'll lead you to her room." I kissed her cheek and lifted her up.

"Thank you" she said as she rested her head in the crook of my neck.

We walked down the stairs to the level below my bedroom and into the west wing, going to see Victoria.

Anastasia was still whimpering while holding my shirt in her little fist as I carried her.

I knocked on Sawyer's bedroom door and Victoria replied with a quick "come in!"

I opened the door and walked over to the bed, placing my girl down next to her, silently wiping her tears with my thumb and giving her kiss on her head. Giving them some 'girl time', I shut the door and heard Ana break down again. It broke my heart into a million pieces seeing her so upset.

I couldn't do it anymore.

Victoria's POV:

Sebastian carried Anastasia into my room- they were so cute together and certainly in love. Everyone could see it except them- but she was crying.

As he placed her on the bed, I pulled my body up and tucked the covers around my friend.

"Anastasia? Are you ok?" I asked concerned.

"Victoria- we- we- we" she choked out.

"It's ok, take deep breaths"

She took a deep breath in, "we lost our job! Our boss Jeffery from the club called and fired us! We're out of a job Victoria. How are we supposed to live?!" She cried and wiped her tears on her hoodie sleeve.

"Babe it's ok, there are other ways! Plus, we've saved up so much money, you can't forget about that" I reassured.

"You're right" she smiled slightly.

I opened my arms for my best friend and she moved over to rest on the pillow beside me.

We sat like that and talked for what felt like hours before we both fell into a deep slumber, Anastasia was exhausted and needed to rest.

We both stretched and yawned after waking up from our nap, drained from the past weeks. It was now 4pm and I think I remember Sawyer saying that they normally finished work at 5 or 6. That man is so freaking mysterious. I can't even deal with him sometimes. He's lucky he's sculpted like a Greek God and is the sweetest man on the planet.

I pushed the hair away from Anastasia's face, "Ana, it's 4pm, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?"

Sleepily and still teary-eyed she replied with "yeah kinda but I just want Sebastian" she sighed. "No offence of course, I love you."

"None taken, he's your man. And I love you too"

Giggling slightly, we made our way down the stairs and into the kitchen, grabbing some fruit as a snack.

"Sooooo," Anastasia smirked, "have you gotten any action??"

I felt my cheeks turn bright red as I remember Sawyer and I last night.

"Omggg girl I have so much to update you on!"

"Spill" Ana squealed.

And I did just that. Telling her all the juicy parts of Sawyer and I's relationship so far. And the great sex of course.
