It was exactly 5:30pm when me and Aubrey were headed towards our rooms. I gave him a big bear hug. 

"I missed your bossy, commanding voice." I muttered as I leaned back to look at him.

"I love you too. Now once you get to your room order some food and oh, take your pill. Remember you're not super woman and you still need strength." 

I pressed my lips together and smile at him, holding back a laugh. 

"What?" after a few seconds he smiled and said, "Oh. I'm doing it again aren't I?" 

"Yes Mr. Bossy Aubrey" and let out my laugh. He goes inside his room and I head towards mine. Just as Aubrey told me to, I ordered a bowl of fruit. I jump into the shower and then changed into white joggers and a orange shirt. Hair smelling like green apples I checked my phone. 3 new messages. One from Erick, one from my phone bill and the other from Ryan.  I opened Erick's first. 

Erick: babe, i need to see you asap

Me: I miss youu, tomorrow? or today?

Erick: hmm tomorrow? because John is non stop making me sing my lungs out.

Me: alrightt babe

I check Ryan's message.

Ryan: Hey Mariana, I'm sorry about the screaming the other day in the hospital... That so called Erick was getting on my nerves. Can I see you today at 7?

Me: sure at my hotel?

Ryan: sure. see you

It was 6:58pm when Ryan knocked the door. Opening it, he held a banquet of flowers. 

I leaned in for a hug, he smelled strongly of alcohol. "Thanks Ryan, you didn't have to."

"But I wanted to." 

I smirked  and placed them on the kitchen counter while he positioned himself on the corner of my bed. "So are the rumors true?" when I didn't answer he explained himself, "You and Erick?" 

I walked over and sat on the couch, thinking of Erick almost as in instinct. "Yup" changing the subject I added "So what have you done these past years?" 

He looked down, as if suddenly the weight of his head was unbearable. "Overall, nothing really. I tried tracking you down to be honest. Then I found out you were in Miami and well, yeah." 

"Tracking me down? I must be-"

"I can't keep it in anymore. Mariana I love every thing about you and I want you so b-"

I raised a hand to stop him, sympathy in my eyes. "Ryan, you know I love Erick? I don't like you like you like me." 

At the mention of Ericks name, his eyes blazed with anger. He stood up and hovered over me, making me nervous. He had definitely taken a few shots before coming here. 

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP! YOU'RE MINE MARIANA! YOU WANT ME!"

I scrambled on top of the couch, trying to get away from him. But he grabbed my waist and easily threw me on the bed. I tried running to the door but he covered my mouth and locked me on the bed. 

"Stop Ryan, please. You can't think right, here I'll get help-"

"NO! don't you dare! I can't wait to see Ericks face when he gets here."

"What are you talking about?! Erick's not coming!" 

He held my hands with his, pressing them into the bed and locked his legs with mine. I couldn't do anything as he kissed my neck, except let out a tear.
