Jayden pulled away and looked at Nicole in the eye. "I love you Nicole and I just can't keep it to myself anymore..." He said then he sighed and stood up and started to walk back into the hotel when she ran after him and hugged him from behind.

"I'm sorry Jayden... But I'm already with Trent." She said. He just sighed and released himself from her hug and he walked back in, not even bothering to look back at her.

Tomorrow morning, Nicole woke up to the sound of her phone ringing by her side. She picked it up and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Rise and shine my beautiful sweetheart." Trent said on the other line. She smiled to herself but then she remembered what happened yesterday and she felt doubt inside of her again.

"Um... Hey, I have a surprise for you." He added.

"Really?" She said.

"Yeah. Open your door."

She stood up and opened her door and saw petals of roses laid on the floor. She chuckled, "So... Is this it?" she asked.

"Follow the trail of the petals." He ordered.

Nicole followed the trail of the petals until a maniquine wearing a white lace dress stood in her way.

"Have you seen it?" Trent spoke up on the other line.

"Yeah... Thanks Trent. It's beautiful." Nicole replied.

"Don't thank me yet. There's still more to come." He said. "Wear the dress now. I believe that there's a nearby toilet there and you go there to get changed."

She looked around and saw a nearby toilet, "Yep. There is. Hold on, I'll change." she said then she started stripping the dress off of the maniquine and then took the dress with her in the toilet. After a few minutes, she came back wearing the white lace dress already.

"Now what?" She asked him on the other line.

"Continue following the trail." He said.

And so she did and then she stopped for she saw a pair of black high heels with diamonds placed all over it.

"Oh my god..." She said in awe.

"Wear it. I knew it would suit you." He said.

She wore the pair of shoes and it fitted her perfectly. A smile grew on her face. "What's next?" She asked.

"Follow the trail." He replied.

Nicole followed the trail until it lead her in front of the elevator. She pressed the button and it opened. She went in and the doors closed. "Go to the ground level." Trent said and she pressed the G button and the elevator started to go down. After a few minutes, the doors opened, and she stepped out of the elevator.

"Now what?" She asked.

"Go to the garden." He replied and so she went to the garden and was surprised to see Trent standing in front of her, dressed in a gray polo with his sleeves rolled up, and black pants and black converse, while holding a bunch of roses.

He walked towards her and gave the bunch of roses to her. Then he walked up to the little stage and got the guitar on his left side.

"This one's for you." He said then he winked at her. He started strumming a few chords then eventually started to sing:

I'm gonna pick up the pieces, 

And build a Lego house
