Mari woke up feeling the sun shine into her and the cold wind flow around her. She didnt know why but she felt a little better than the day before. Shes heard about the 'bipoloar' part of heartbreaks before but she didnt know itd happen quite fast. Not that she was complaining, she hated being sad.

"Morning guys" She greets the girls. They looked to eachother shockingly.

"Did Marianaly Patrone just greet us guys?" Zylie looks around.

"i think she smiled too..." Tesa adds.

"Jesus what did you do to my sister" Lexi grabs Maris face.

Mari rolls her eyes jokingly. "Okay shut up before i spiral again."

"You feeling better?" Lexi asks.

"Way better" Mari breathes grabbing a glass of orange juice and a muffin to munch on.

"Ready for today? Got rehearsals" Tesa speaks.
Mari slightly nods. She was never worried about rehearsals or practice because she knew shed always do good. It wasnt because of cockiness but rather confidence.

"give me 20 and we can go" She smiled. She made her way upstairs to get herself together. As she was doing so she glanced at her song book that laid on her bed. She didnt tell the girls yet but she finally wrote a new song for their upcoming album. It wasnt just any song, it was a song about him. It was about her first felt love with him, the song was a bit harsh and aggressive but she didnt really care. It spoke what she couldnt say and thats all she needed. She didnt need anything else.

Right?...

"Tom grab the bag" Bill yells out as Tom does so. They had just landed in Vegas and were burnt out. Well atleast the boys were. Tom was squealing excitedly the whole time just waiting to see Mari.

"Its too damn early for this shit" Georg complained.

"Oh pucker up buttercup youll be fine" Tom smiled. He was literally the only one who smiled brightly out of the 4.

"motherfucker its 7am" Gustav cursed making the others chuckle.

"Well get some rest at the hotel before meeting with the girls" Bill says.

Tom quickly turns to him. "Why cant we go now?"

"Tom we've been sitting on our asses for hours, were too tired to go right now...just wait a few" Bill explains.

"you guys are tired. Im fine, you guys can sleep but i wanna see her now" He exclaims.

"You cant okay" Bill says. He told Tom about the trip but he failed to mention the fact that Mari had no clue he was coming.

"Why not-"

"Because she doesnt even know your here Tom!" Bill yells. Tom stares at him blankly. "What?"

"Tom...Mari doesnt even know your in Vegas- she doesnt know any of us in Vegas right now" He says.

"Then why the fuck are we here?" Tom huffs.

"Because Zylie said it could help...she told me Mari was a wreck the night you called her" He says.

"She was calling for you Tom" Bill finishes. Tom's eyes softened at his words. He was saddened but in awe at the fact that she called for him...all the names she knew yet she called for him despite the fact that they were miles away from eachother.

"So what now" He asks softly.

"Well wait it out alright? Ill call Zylie to see what we can do" Bill pats his shoulder with reassurance. Tom nods in agreement.

"Fuck!" Mari cursed under her breath as she messed up on the cord again.

"Mar what's up?" Lexi pulled back from the mic.

"n-nothing lets do it again" She says positioning her guitar again.

Lexi begins to sing. 'insecure on her skin-'

Mari cursed with annoyance again as she realized she messed once again. She places her head in her hands frustratedly as the music cuts off.

"Hey hey hey, whats going? Mar you never mess up" Lexi walks up to her.

Mari breathes out. "I— i dont even know"

"Its okay, just take a breath" Lexi grabs Maris shoulder and sits her down. "Talk to me" She says.

"Im so lost Lex...im so lost an- and stressed" Mari shook her head. Lexi instantly knew this was no new emotion or feeling of the sort, she knew her sister therefore she knew what this was about.

"Is this about Tom?" Mari looks up from the ground and into Lexis eyes, that was all Lexi needed to understand.

"Oh niña" She grabs her head softly and into her chest.

"I tried to forget him Lex...i thought i was getting better" Mari teared up as Lexi continued patting her back.

"jesus i dont even know why im like this we never even got together" She cried out. That was what she was most confused about, she didnt know why she felt this way when they never got beyond the kiss.

"Its because this is your first Mar" Lexi says.

"you've always been so protective of your heart for years, this the first time you've actually let go. love can be a pain in the ass but thats normal...it isnt you" She looks at Mari wiping the tears that were pouring down her face. Lexi was the only person who's ever seen Mari cry over certain situations, she never gave anyone else the satisfaction of doing so.

"Thank you Lex" She sighs. Lexi opens her arms as Mari gives in and hugs her.

"Now lets finish this practice before Zylie gets on her mom side and yells at us" Lexi says making Mari chuckle.

-

"I told you , you can do it" Lexi yells out to Mari as they walked into the house. They had just finished yet another successful rehearsal.
Mari shakes her head with a chuckle.

"Jesus im worn out" Mari yawns.

"How are you tired its only 10pm" Tesa furrows her brows.

"Only???" Mari scoffs.

"We were gonna watch a movie! You know, girls night or whatever these americans call it" Zylie says.

Mari rolls her eyes playfully. "Okay fine, i'm gonna hit the shower and i'll come back" She ran upstairs hearing the other girls cheer. As she waltzed through her room she couldnt help but think about Lexis words earlier.

'this is the first time you've actually let go'

She wasnt wrong and Mari knew that as well. Tom was the first person who's actually made her feel such things, she felt it on the first night but was too stubborn to admit it. She was losing her mind just thinking about his name. The more she thought about it the more questions she had, what if hes the one?

As she was about to make her way downstairs she overhead lots of giggling and commotion going on. She furrowed her brows as she realized the other few voices were deep. Her heart froze as she reached the last step and came face to face with those familiar eyes.

"Tom?"
