I felt sick. Absolutely sick.

Not because I was engaged to a modern day wicked bitch of the West, but the tabloids that came out that day.

Tabloids about that bastard Aiden and Rachel, stating she was a mystery woman.

Bullshit.

And even worse, tabloids about me and Amanda Gold. Engaged. Disgusting.

For the first time in my life, it felt like everything was in a spiral and I was losing control. The thought of marrying that woman nauseated me.

And the thought of Aiden and Rachel being romantic pissed me off to my core.

I gripped the bottle of alcohol and poured myself a shot. It's been years since I've had alcohol, but I needed a distraction.

I usually slept with women when I wanted to take my mind off things, but that thought disgusted me.

All I could think of was Rachel.

But she wasn't answering my calls once again. That woman was taking years off my life, one by one. I called her multiple times with no answer. Goes straight to voicemail.

Was she Okay? Or was she ignoring me?

I poured myself another shot and downed the brown liquid. The burn felt good and I felt fuzzy. My thoughts began to blur, and I was thankful.

If Rachel wasnt going to answer me, I'd find her!

______________

I berated my driver to take me there faster. She wants answering me, and the only place I could think she would be at this time of night is her damn brother.

I refused to believe she was with that bastard Aiden Gold at this time of night.

The city nights whirled past, everything felt like a blur. I needed her, and I needed her now. I didn't know for what reason, I mean, I can think of plenty of reasons, dirty reasons... But most of all I just wanted to know she was okay.

I felt my heart beat at the base of my throat. If she wasn't here, I was going to tear this city apart to find her.

I blamed the alcohol. But I was pissed off.

I got to the front door.

This sick bastard. He better-

"what is it!?" A strange and vile woman answered. I guess he finally got a girlfriend, good.

"Where is she!?" I growled.

She barely could blink her eyes, it looks like she has just gotten up.

The rational part of me was saying to come at a better time. But the drunk part of me wanted to push this annoying woman out of the way.

"what the hell are you talking about? Who are you?... STEVENNN " She said in a raspy voice. This woman needed to shut up, and she needed to shut up now.

I shoved past her.

"Rachel! Where are you damn it!" I shouted. Yeah this was an apartment building.

Yeah I was probably disrupting their neighbors.

And I didn't give a fuck.

I started to storm through their rooms, which was only two.

I saw Steven barely getting up from his bed.

I grabbed him and brought him close, "where is she!" I demanded.

He rubbed his eyes, and squinted at me.

"Rachel?.... She lives with you, you idiot. What the hell are you doing here?" he complained as he shoved me off of him.

"you idiot," I slurred, "if she was with me, I wouldn't be here!"

He started to look worried. Which made me worry.

I started to storm through his apartment in anger.

I could hear that annoying woman on the phone.

"Rachel? Rachel!! Hello!!" She screamed over the phone. "She what? Fainted? The hell? Who are you?.... Um, fine whatever... I'll tell Steven... Steven is her brother. Yeah, got it."

I stormed towards the annoying woman.

"what happened to Rachel?" I demanded.

She crossed her arms and sighed, "She fainted . Her boyfriend is going to take her to Presbyterian hospital on fourth street."

Steven stormed out in his pajamas. I followed suit. He started running downstairs to the front of his apartment. Suddenly my drunken stupor started to dissipate. Rachel fainted and I needed to get to her ASAP.

_______________

I reluctantly allowed Steven in my car as I headed towards the hospital. I rushed out once we got there.

I rushed the nurse at the ER and asked for Rachel.

She gave me a tired look and pointed at her bed.

My heart sank.

Rachel.

She was awake but connected to an IV.

And aiden was by her side.
