The room was silent.

Just me and my thoughts filled the room. Just me, picking my lip like I always do when I'm thinking.

Jack really does want me and only me. I can tell. He doesn't want any other girl other wise he wouldn't have reacted how he reacted today. I love him for that.

My life goal?

To settle down, in a nice home, with children and to be married to a man who will treat me right.

Does Jack want that too?

My career. I can tell it's going to take off from now. This little instagram job I've got just feels like a Saturday one. Maybe one day I will start a YouTube channel? Just not today.

As soon as we get home, I am going to contact my lawyer and tell her everything that's happened. She's basically my agent and we get along like we're best friends. Then, we'll take it from there.

I need to be stronger, I need to be more confident. I'm a weak woman that gets other people to fight her battles for her. I've can't live my life relying on Jack because he might not always be with me. I've done it before and I'll do it again.

I looked at the caller ID that appeared on my screen. It flashed up as Briy, also along with two missed phone calls.

"Hello?"

"Lauren what do I do? What do I do? Lauren!" She cried.

"What do you mean what do you do?" I got worried.

"M-Mikey! He came onto me and I pushed him off of me and he fell and he got up and he tried again but I ran! Lauren I ran! What the fuck do I do?!"

"What? How? I thought you were with all the other girls?"

"No! I came down to the main reception area and I heard screaming outside so I went to have a look and then he was there and he pulled me into a genal and now I'm lost down another genal. He said something about Arden." She rambled.

"Briyoni, deep breaths. Everything's going to be okay, yeah? Fine. Just fine."

"What if he finds me again? What if Joe doesn't believe me and ends things?"

"He won't Briy. I'm going to phone Joe now and tell him to get you."

"Okay Laur, don't let me down. I need you right now. I've never felt like I've needed my big sister so much." She cried harder.

"What are big sisters here for Briy? They're here to protect you. Just like you have done with me over the years."

My first instinct was to phone Jack. Why Jack? I don't know. Instead, I tried to ring Joe.

*Ring ring* *Ring ring* *Ring ring* *Ring ring*

Come on Joe.

*I'm sorry but the person you-*

No! No Joe! Pick up!

Jack. I'll phone Jack.

*Ring ring* *Ring-*

"Lauren what's the matter? Are you okay?" His voice came out concerned.

"I'm fine. Briy's not. Someone help her. Please Jack!" I started to cry too.

"What's the matter with Briy?! What's happened?!" Jack shouted.

I heard the faint 'whats?' in the background.

"Mikey came on to her and she pushed him and she thought she hurt him but then he tried again so she ran away and now she's lost down a genal!"

"Oh my god." Was all Jack said.
