BANKS
I watch as Mia circles around the counter to stand in front of me."Why are you asking me that?Who would I leave you for?".

I narrow my eyes and say "Diego".

She looks at me confused before she pieces it together."He's your new roommate?"."Yes".

She makes a small noise before turning back around to grab plates.

"How could I leave you if we aren't anything"."You know we are something"I hiss out.

She turns around and slams the plates on the counter."Yes Banks.We are something!We are.But you are so fucking scared that you won't move forward.You think I like being your fucking buddy?".

"We can end that right now and be something if you want".

She does a humorless laugh and say"You get on my fucking nerves.You have since high school.And I've always hated you.I hate your sex.i hate how you make me feel".

"Mia-".

"-You told me you loved me Banks! Do you understand what that means!"she yells.

I stand there frozen as her eyes start to water."I'm fucking sick of this.You love me,Banks?You love me?Fucking show me! Show me how much you love me!Because right now it only feels as though those are just words to you".

She wipes her eyes before looking at me coldly."You said it, but I saw those cold eyes staring at me.So emotionless.So empty.You didn't mean it,Banks.You and I both know it".

"Mia I don't know how to show you!I don't know how, okay!".She looks at me taken back.

I feel the chain break from my lock I put on my vulnerable side."What's love Mia?What is it?How do you feel it? Can it be seen!".

"My whole life everyone sees me as Banks Carrington's copy.I am no one but someone's copy! I was molded to be just like her!Think like her!Act like her!Talk like her! Who am I without her?".

Mia walks over and cups my face softly."Show me Banks.Let me see every part of you So you can see every part of me".

She presses her forehead again mine as I sigh softly."Let me in Banks.Please".

Don't let her in Banks.
You need to ruthless.Cold
That way no one will break you.
You were born to break everyone else
Break everything in your path.
And let it consume you.

But Mia is different.
Is she?She will drop you once she sees
She will love me.
Will she?
She will see me for who I am
A monster?A sociopath?A Apathetic?

I shake my head as she forces me to look at her."If you don't let me,I'll break in.Ill break every barrier you put in my path.I'll break every fucking thing until I see the real you.You should be scared,Banks.Because once I see the real you,I'll make love to him.I'll make him mine".

I whimper softly as she pushes me away."You won't show me,so I'll force my fucking way in".

"little monster-"."-Get out.This isn't over Banks.We aren't over".

I frown before walking toward the door."And if I see you even look at another fucking girl,I'll fuck Diego in your apartment so you can hear".I glare at her coldly before I walk out of the apartment.

MIA
The next morning

"I heard yelling from your apartment"Jasmine says.

I glance at her as I look down at my chips."I had an argument with Preppy"."What?What happening".

"I'm just tired of the mask he wears.So I told him that I would break it"I say.

I got a glimpse of his vulnerable side with his tears.I kissed every single tear that slide down his face.I wanted to kiss his eyes so he never cried again.

Banks has locked away his real side deep,deep in his heart.

"Has Banks ever been abused?"I ask.

Jasmine freezes and looks at me."Why?".

"Studies show that people lock away their true selves before they are forced to are because they were scared".

Jasmine tilts her head and says "I've never seen the true Banks.But I think Vaughn could be of help"."You think so?".

She nods her head and says "Banks used to be cheerful and loving but one day,it just stopped.He hasn't had a genuine loving smile on his face since he was 10 years old".

"Interesting.Ill have to talk to Vaughn".

She smiles and says "Thank you for not giving up on Banks"."I care about him too much to give up on him".
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Later that day I found Vaughn in his studio painting.He looks up and smiles.

"Mia Campbell in my studio???What do I owe the pleasure"."It's about Banks".

He looks at me seriously and puts his paintbrush down."Is he okay?Is something wrong with him?".

I shake my head and walk over to his couch.He rolls his chair in front of me."Was he abused?".

His eyes widen before they slowly darken."Why are you asking that".

"Banks has a lock on his heart.One I'm trying to break.But I still don't understand were it came from".

He sits back and says "I think I know where it came from"."You do?".

"When Banks was 10 years old my father hired his old business partner tutor Banks in the ways of business".

"Because Banks is the heir of Carrington Labs right?".

"Yes well Dad has finally understand that Banks is going pro in futbol and will want no parts of it.So he will probably be giving the company to me and I will have a half ownership of it".

"Does Banks know that?".

He shakes his head and continues."I don't know what his tutor did to Banks but little by little his smile disappeared.And little by little it was replaced with a stoic expression.When our maternal grandfather died ,Banks didn't cry.He just stood there with no emotion.It creeped our parents out and they sent him to therapy".

"I'm guessing that didn't work?".
"He threaten to be an empty shell if he continued therapy".

I frown as Vaughn sets his head back."My brother turned to chaos and mayhem to satisfy his needs.But what he really needs is you,Mia".

He looks back up at me and says "He needs his order.I was his order long ago but he pushed me away when we started high school.Part of me thinks it's because he wanted me to be happy".

I frown and say "I see.I think I understand now.Thank you Vaughn".

He smirks and says "It's no problem.Are you busy right now.I kinda need some help on my art project".

"Not at all.Im glad to help you out V".
