Today's one of those days where I'm just depressed, and dead to the world. I sighed as I opened my eyes, the light streaming in from the curtains stained with mystery spots. I expected to wake up next to my boyfriend, but he wasn't there. It made the bed cold, and he's not here so what the hell? Waking up without your boyfriend is just fucking horrible. Now it's really gonna be a bad day. A knock came on the door, so I grabbed my jeans and slipped them on. I walked to the door, and answered it. It was a girl with blonde hair, holding her stomach. She looked about 3 months pregnant.

"Are you gonna say something or sit there and look stupid?" I snapped at her. I heard the shower stop, and someone was toweling off. Ryder for sure. My brain wasn't clear enough for me to ask why the hell a pregnant woman was here. She frowned.

"Where's Ryder?"

"In hell. Just kidding, I think in the shower why?"

"I came to tell him that I'm pregnant. And it's his." My heart stopped, and I was fully awoken then. Ryder stepped out fully dressed then, and walked to the door in confusion. How? How did Ryder get someone else pregnant? He was with me the entire time.

"Oh hey Miranda. What's up?"

"I'm pregnant. And it's yours." Immediately, Ryder looked at me. Tears welled in my eyes, and clouded my vision. Do you know what it feels like, to have your heart broken? It's like drowning in water chained in metals. It was suffocating, and made me sick to my stomach. Ryder grabbed my hands, but I felt numb. I felt lightheaded too, I felt fucking dead. I took big, deep breaths.

"Audrey, I swear on my life it isn't mines. I slept with her before I left a long time ago." Ryder grabbed my chin, and made me look him in the eye. I didn't see anything but honesty. It was still too suffocating, to know that there was a possibility he could be a father. A father of someone else's child. I felt dizzy, and weak. My eyes rolled to the back of my head. I lost consciousness after that.

I don't know how long I was out cold. I came back into consciousness, and apparently, I was laying on a bed. Everyone was freaking out, and that Miranda girl was clutching a pillow tightly. I noticed that her stomach was flat now. I sat up, a bit drowsy and grouchy. Ryder rushed over to me, and made sure I was okay.

"Are you okay?" Everyone asked me in unison.

"Yeah. My head hurts a little though."

"Look," the Miranda girl said to me. "It was a prank. I just wanted to see your reaction." My fist flew and connected with her jaw before I thought about it. Right now, I had no control over my body. Like I was an outsider, and I was watching what was happening. Ryder winced. Miranda held her jaw unbelievably. Everyone scooted back some inches.

"You made me pass out all over a prank, you dumb bitch?" I said, I think. Miranda grabbed my hair and pulled, to which I reflexively kicked her leg then slapped her. She released my hair quickly. I punched her again and again, well my body did I think. Ryder squeezed between us, preventing me from punching her again. Miranda ran out of the room, crying. Yeah well bitch, I passed out and considered for a second my boyfriend was cheating on me.

"The boss is at home now!" I told them before they'd go farther into this saving him mission. They froze.

"What?"

"How?"

"Are you sure?" I gave them flat looks.

"Bitch does it look like I'm lying?" I rolled my eyes, and Blake suggested we go home immediately. We agreed, and grabbed everything we had. Our clothes burnt in that hotel fire. We made our way downstairs in the lobby, covering our noses, still waiting on Wyatt & Ash. We waited for like, 3 hours, but Wyatt & Ash never came down. I went upstairs to tell those fuckers come on, but I heard moaning sounds. I bursted through the door, seeing Wyatt & Ash make out. They were having sex too.

"HEY!" I yelled, and they snapped their heads towards me. "We've been waiting downstairs in this stinky ass hotel for 3 hours! Bring your asses so we can leave this damn place already." I didn't even care that they were sleeping together. I just wanted to be in the comfort of my own home. I walked out, closing the door, and went downstairs again. I didn't dare tell everyone else what they were doing. It seemed very private and special to them. They scrambled downstairs, with red faces and tousled hair. No one suspected what try were doing, we were all very tired.

"Airport is a 10 minute walk from here, let's go." Erwin lead us outside, and down the street. We walked on the empty sidewalk, heads down, and silent. Ryder held onto my hand, which was warm and shot electricity into me. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the streets were crowded. But I guess everyone thought walking on the sidewalks is a bit much, since all the little shops were crowded as well. I looked at Tristan, he was walking way in the back of us, with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He looked sad. Maybe I should let him down easy.

"I'm gonna go talk to Tristan," I said, releasing Ryder's hand. He looked at me for a while, but then sighed.

"Don't be long."

"I promise I won't be." I kiss his cheek, and walk back to Tristan. I appear at his side, him smiling a bit at me. I know deep down inside, he's a mess. Being in love with someone that doesn't love you can hurt, like a bitch. It's like putting alcohol on a bullet wound.
