*Vic's P.O.V.*

"Riley...didn't you get the text I sent from Jaime's phone?" She looked at me confused and I continued to explain, "I lost my phone. I texted you from Jaime's phone telling you. Where did you find this?"

"Some...girl gave me it. And showed me a couple things," she sniffled.

"What did she show you? Wait, how the fuck did she even get into my phone, it's password protected!"

I typed in my passcode, which was 'love', and an error popped up on the screen.

"Why isn't my password working?" I screeched, steaming with anger.

"Let me try," Riley took the phone from me and punched in a code. Seconds later she handed me back an unlocked phone.

"What the fuck?" I asked her.

She shrugged her shoulders and replied, "The girl told me it was 'Jenni'."

"I don't even know a Jenni. What the hell?" I muttered.

I noticed all my apps have been played with, and my messages had a new notification. I clicked it and opened up a chat with some girl named 'Jenni'.

"Well," I sighed, "I know where Jenni came from." I motioned to my screen and showed her.

I scrolled through the messages in disgust, not bothering to read some.

"This is absolutely horrifying," I said as I read through a couple, "First of all, how the fuck does one have sex over texting. I mean I heard of phone sex, but texting sex? And second, all these messages were sent and received after I lost my phone."

I showed her and her face softened. "Oh, Vic..." she sighed, "I'm so sorry for actually believing this. It's just, this girl made it seem so REAL. I don't even know how to fix everything now."

She threw her face into her hands and I put my phone on the table next to the couch. I pulled her in for a hug, and gently rubbed her back.

"There's nothing to fix," I whispered, "It was all a big misunderstanding. Besides... I thought you were going to break up with me. I thought you found someone better."

She threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. I felt all of the previous month's agony and passion buried in that kiss and I smiled, knowing it was worth it. It made this moment special.

"I will never find someone new. You were made for me and I need you in my life," she murmured against my lips, "I missed you, Vic."

"I missed you too baby. So much."

She fell back on the couch and I fell on top of her. And I did what I could to prove it to her. I then proved my love and I knew she could feel it.

As our sweaty bodies curled up together on the couch, I realized I needed her. I will always need her.

"I need you Riley!" I said, "Damnit, why won't you wake up?"

I got up and faced the wall, propping my hands against it for support. Suddenly I heard a weak voice behind me.

"Vic?"

My blood ran cold and I looked back just as the monitors signaled the nurses to rush in.

Her voice had a musical tone to it, just like it always has. "I love you."

And she disappeared. Just like that.
