We all finish getting ready and put the television on.
I still have not heard anything from Tana.
"Guys I'm going to head down to the lobby bar. When you're ready to go just come down and get me. I'll be ready." I explain as I walk to the door.

"What time do you think we should head out?" He asks. "I'm not sure. I want to spend time with you for a little bit and then we can go." I answer.
He acknowledges, "Well it's not like we're not going to be together there." I nod, "I know, but it's not going to be the same. I wanna kiss you and stuff and have a little fun between the two of us, and then we can go out. You know, it's not like I can start kissing you once we get out." He questions, "Well why not? I like you, you like me. Why does it have to be so complicated?" I shrug, "I don't know. I just, I don't think I'm ready yet."
He sighs, "Okay. Can you do me a favor?" I smile. "Anything." "Sing." He suggests. I joke, "Ricky, no why. I suck." He denies, "You're amazing. Sing, please. For me."
I knew my voice was fine, I just hated singing for people.
Ricky has always been the first one to tell me he liked my voice.
I take a deep breath and start singing the chorus of Breakeven by The Script.

I've always known Kian had a beautiful voice. I remember walking into his house one day, before o2l even started, and I caught him singing. He thought he was home alone and didn't hear the door open. It was coming from his room and every step I took closer was more and more amazing. Once he realized he wasn't alone he quickly stopped.
He always denies the talent he has, and right now I finally got him to really sing.
With every word he sung, it sounded angelic. I never understood why he didn't flaunt his amazing talent more often. He gave me goosebumps. It was nearly breathtaking.
Once he finished I applauded, "Amazing, Kian. So perfect." He blushes, "Thank you, Ricky. That means a lot."
I couldn't help but get so many butterflies in my stomach whenever he'd show me a true, genuine, big smile. It was so cute and pure.
He asks, "Is it fine if we just act chill tonight? You know, like nothing is going on between us? I just don't want everyone knowing and I don't want people to make a big deal tonight" I nod in agreement, "Yeah, sure. Of course. I'll just keep to myself a little."
I don't know why I said yes. Why would I agree to that? I know this kind of stuff is hard for him, but if he's really happy why wouldn't he be open? I want to show him off and hold his hand and go on rides with him, but he wants us to act "chill."

"Tana I'm not sure if you're phone's not with you or on silent or something, but if you listen to this can you please call or text me back? I just want to know that everything's fine and you're safe. Okay?" I leave a message after the one hundredth beep. I still have no idea what is going on at all. 
I start making semi-drunk conversation with the lady, around thirty, who's sitting next to me.
"This is probably very typical of her, to just screw people over and mess with their feelings. And you know, I kind of knew that since the beginning, it's just, I don't know, I thought this could be different. I'm older and more mature that most of her hookup buddies so I thought she'd take what I was offering more seriously. Plus, we never even hooked up. She didn't even get anything really, so why is she all of a sudden ditching at such a random time and not after that. There's just so many questions that aren't answered and it's driving me crazy." I vent.
She jokes, "Well, seems like you're just spilling your guts." I laugh, "Yeah, yeah. I'm usually just chill with everything. Super laid back. This is something out of the ordinary for me. Also, I'm a little bit drunk. And also it's her."
She informs, "Girls, especially at...how old did you say she was, nineteen?"
I nod.
She continues, "Oh honey, she's still just a baby! And if she's known for games and such, she not going to just stop them all. It's a thing that those kind of girls do. And it hurts, but I was one of those girls ten years ago so I understand why she's doing it." "Why's she doing it?" I ask. She explains, "It makes a girl feel good sometimes. It builds there ego. It makes her feel like she's in command, and she's got everyone under her control. Normally, though, is all just coming from a state of fear of falling in love or deep down issues. There's always a reason a girl does these types of things, unless she's just completely evil. But I'd say this one isn't, because you're a smart guy with smart judgment."
I smile, "Thank you, um, what's you're name?" "Adriana." She answers.
I properly thank, "Thank you Adriana. Oh, my friends are here I got to go."
She says as I walk away, "Have fun tonight. And if you really do love this girl, don't give up."
I smile and nod.

9:30 pm. Universal has been opened up for an hour and a half now, and will be opened for another hour and a half. And here I am, missing out on all of the fun.
Tana's my friend, and if something's wrong I'm glad to stay, but she's not telling me anything and it's almost like I'm just waisting my time.
We're laying down watching How I Met Your Mother, an iconic show.
"Tana, what the hell happened to you today? Why aren't you being you? What the hell is going on?" I ask.
She freezes and then rambles, "Nothing, I mean, nothing." I shake my head, "No, sister, you are telling me what the fuck happened and we are going to have fun and get out of our little slump."
She takes a deep breath and says, "Lia told me something about Jc, that I didn't want to find out. She told me he doesn't actually like me and he's just trying to get sex out of me. And she said that he's told her friends that he's using me. She said he does this a lot and that he only wants to have fun then fuck me over because I'm easy. And he think I'm worth nothing more than an easy get to him. And she was such a bitch and she was so evil but at the same time everything she was telling me made sense. I mean she dated him, she knows what he's capable of and she knows the games he plays. Repeatedly she called me a slut. She's disgusting but I think she was right."
What she's saying can't be true. Lia is one of the kindest people I know, and I would know if she was really rude, we've been friends for years.
I snap, "Tana are you for real? Lia is an angel, she'd never say shit like that. I don't have time for your exaggerations and your fake stories."
Tears start to fill her eyes, "Trevor, it's not like that at all I swear." I raise my voice a little, "Oh you swear! Tana you're my friend and I love you but I can't stand shit like this! I waisted my time tonight. I wanted to have fun and go on rides and do fun shit but I was stuck here with you, and over what? Nothing but stupid lies so you can cause drama!"
I walk towards the door and continue, "I'm leaving and I'm enjoying the rest of my night. Stay here or don't, I don't care but you seriously need to think about what the hell you're saying. I'm not a dumb twelve year old girl who falls for your lies."
"Trevor-"
"I'm sorry Tana, but I'm leaving and I'm having fun."
I slam the door behind me. I sort of wish I hadn't got so worked up on her. Even if she was lying, which I know she was, she is my friend and I should have talked to her about it. Maybe she wasn't completely lying or maybe she misunderstood Lia. I'm not sure, but all I know is I wanted to have fun and clear my head.
