It read: 

Unknown number: Hey Mariana, it's Ryan, you're old friend ... I was wondering if you'd like to hang out later today if you're not doing anything important and you know catch up on each other's lives since you're back here in Florida and don't say you're not because I dead ass saw you walk in your hotel. 

I remembered Ryan , he was one of my best friends in 6th grade, but we stopped talking because I was becoming famous so I had to be home schooled. I type my answer. 

Me: sure ((: but not today, I'm busy. 

Ryan: Okay how about tomorrow in the afternoon? at Clear Water Park? 

Me: sounds dope, see you then. 

When I'm about to knock on Aubrey's door it swings open, with Aubrey all dressed in a suit. (a/n the one above)

"Damnn daddy who you looking good for?" I say giving him a smile and looking him up and down. 

"For youu, duhhh." 

Smiling to myself, I follow Aubrey down the stairs to a matte black Jeep outside.  I receive a message from Erick

Erick: wasssssupppp, we're at your studio and you're not here yet :/ 

Me: i'm on my wayy

As I open the door to the Jeep a few paparazzi are outside snapping pictures. Erick greets me at the entrance, this time I wrap my hands around his waist and he wraps his hands around my shoulders. What cologne did he even use?! It always had me dead! I could stay like this forever... Out of nowhere Aubrey shoves us roughly inside and closes the door. Before I can shout at him, he beats me to it,

"ABOUT A DOZEN PAPARAZZI JUST SNAPPED A PICTURE OF YOU TWO!" 

I recap, me and Erick had hugged too comfortably in front of public, ashamed I study my shoes. 

"Sorry Aubrey." 

I glance at Erick when he doesn't apologize with me, he doesn't look sorry at all as he glares at Aubrey. 

"It doesn't matter, Mariana's great, we don't have to hide our feelings." 

Aubrey glares back, "Yeah whatever just be more careful, you guys can lose fans!" 

That seems to hit Erick, he mumbles his 'sorry' and we walk to the other guys. Just a press of a button and the song would be out, we were so close! 

"Can you all post a picture on your social medias letting your fans know it's going to be out in 3 minutes?" asks John, we nod in response. I hand Aubrey my phone and we all pose for the picture, I stand in the middle with Richard. Erick and Joel on our sides, and Zabdi and Chris on their sides. I send the picture to all of the guys and we all post it at the same time. Captioning it 'On Apple Music, Mariana - Feeling Your Dreams Ft. CNCO. Go download right now!!'

"3 ... 2 ... 1!!!" We all press the button and one of the staff lets down the confetti, out of our hugging ceremony I see John come in with beers and cake, while a staff blasts our new song on the speakers. We all sit at a table and someone comes in with hella balloons. I love balloons and all my fans new that, some of them have my name on them. 

I walk over to Aubrey, "Aww thanks Aubs!!" and give him a big hug. 

He looks at me confused, "Thanks for what?" 

"The balloons with my name!" 

"Mariana I never ordered those for you..." 

I look around at the guys seated at the table, "Then... who?" 

"It was me, I knew you liked balloons because you always post pictures of them on your uh Instagram." said Erick. 

I rounded the table and ran into his arms, not even acknowledging the fact he stalked me. "Thanks lokoo!!" 

We have a blast, everyone captured the moment on snapchat. One of the staff members brings in water guns and we all get wet and before I know it, it's 4AM and I'm headed to my hotel, my feet dragging with tiredness. Once we get inside I say a goodbye to Aubrey and I land in my bed not bothering to change into my PJ's and drift into sleep. 

***

The next day I wake up around 1pm, I take a quick shower an walk towards Aubrey's room, phone in my hands. I hear fighting, and faint screams, stopping dead in my tracks I try pinpointing where the sound is. For a heart-stopping moment I notice the sounds are coming from Aubrey's room. Without thinking I run through the already open door. Inside I see 5 tall, muscular men fighting with Alex and three other body guards. My mouth open I see Alex's panic stricken face as he spots me in the doorway. I knew I had to do something, but I couldn't think. 

"Mariana! Over here!!! Quickkk!!!" I tear my gave from the fighting and see Aubrey in a closet. As quick as I could, I tried running to him, but halfway one of the guys in a mask drags me away and without warning the guy wraps his hands on my eyes, and mouth. Pressing a wet towel over my nose, so I'm forced to breath in a foul smelling liquid. I kick and punch but it's no use, I feel myself slip into a deep, threatening slumber as the guy carries me and throws me inside a car ...
