[24] Growing

Raye Washington was seen arriving at LAX without her husband Corey. Is there trouble in paradise?

Is there a love triangle between Raye, Sebastian and Corey? It appears the young star doesn't know who to choose.

Sources close to the star state that Raye and Corey's quickie marriage is headed for a quickie divorce.

:

Corey starred at the divorce papers amazed by how right the tabloids were. Only after two weeks of leaving, she was already sending papers to end their marriage. He looked over the document and saw that the grounds for the divorce was listed as irreconcilable differences.

Irreconcilable differences.

What differences did they have? After thinking about it, he could name quite a few but he would never leave Raye because of them. He thought it was a bullshit reason for divorce. The real reason was because she didn't believe that he was faithful. In addition to that, she wanted Sebastian. He could understand Raye wanting her space and time to think but she could've ran anywhere. She had millions in the bank that could take her across the world but she went to Los Angeles. Where he was located. Corey felt like he had lost the battle so without even attempting to fight it, he signed the divorce papers and sent them back to LA.

Maybe it was time to give up.

:

Raye jogged on the treadmill until she couldn't run anymore. She hit the finish button and hopped off the machine. Grabbing a towel, she wiped the sweat dripping off of her face.

Running was her new therapy. For the past week she woke up and worked out until she was exhausted. She escaped to California to be alone. That first week she stayed in bed all day thinking about her past, present and future. She wanted and needed the space to think without people constantly asking if she was okay. Work was the last thing on her mind. She wasn't speaking to anyone. Not her management team, Autumn or her family. She sent them a message letting them know she was okay. She didn't want them to influence her choices. She wanted to handle things on her own.

She knew it was wrong to leave Corey by sneaking out early in the morning but he would have talked her into staying and she couldn't. She loved him. There was no doubt about it but she still felt like she was fighting old and new demons while she was with him. She didn't want any more uncertainty when it came to her and Corey's relationship. It wasn't fair to Corey or her.

Maybe it was because she was alone for the first time in her life but she felt like she was growing as an adult. She had a mental list and was knocking items off one by one. First thing was dealing with her career and Heather Croswell.

:

"Tonight on E News we have a special interview with Raye Washington," Giuliana Rancic, one of the host of E News stated to the camera. Sitting beside her on the couch was Raye. She looked and felt stunning after the E News crew completed her makeup and provided a designer dress for her to wear. It gave her the added confidence to complete the interview.

Raye waved to the camera. "Hello everyone."

"Raye contacted our studio for this last minute interview and we couldn't miss the opportunity for her to come on the show."

She smiled. "I've always respected you and the rest of the E News family so thank you for letting me come." Raye was tempted to go onto Heather's show and beat her ass but decided that wasn't the way she wanted the world to view her. Talking to Giuliana was the better option.

"Let the world know your shocking news."

Raye took a deep breath. There was no backing out now. "This will be last my last public interview. After a lot of thinking, I've decided to leave the entertainment business. The only projects I will be working on are ones that I've already committed to."

"And what brought on that decision," Giuliana probed.

"Life. I want my life to be my own. I didn't get into this business for fame. I want people to focus on my work not my love life or what I'm wearing or what I'm doing. The moment that someone decided to listen in on my private conversation with my sister and then share it with the world was my breaking point. For someone to dig up my husband's past to hurt me was the last straw."

"And who are you referring to?"

Raye smiled. "I'm not naming names but she knows who she is. I made the mistake a few months ago of throwing a dagger her way and since then she's been trying to ruin my life. Despite everything she's done my life is still amazing and always will be. There's nothing she can do to take that away. Misery loves company but I'm not joining her club of being a miserable person."

"Well Raye since this is you last interview do you mind clearing up some of the rumors?"

"I would love to." Raye told the truth, the complete truth. "Corey and I got married in Vegas after a drunken night. Because I care so much about my fans we came up with a plan to stay married and fake our relationship. The only issue is that we weren't really faking. The love we had as teenagers never went away despite past problems," she explained referring to Jayda.

"Where does Sebastian fit into this?" Giuliana asked.

"I love him too. Before my marriage to Corey I was with Sebastian but when the marriage happened in Vegas we decided to end things."

"And now?"

Raye laughed. "Now after some soul searching, I've decided that I can't string a long two men and I need to make a final decision based on my wants and needs despite what anyone thinks. I'm tired of lying to people. Since becoming an actress I've been lying. I know my image is probably trashed right now but at least I'm living proof that everyone makes mistakes."

"I couldn't agree more. So Raye who are you going to choose out of Sebastian and Corey?"

:

Raye drove to Sebastian's mansion after taping her episode of E News. Reagan, Reese and her parents were blowing her phone up after the interview but she decided to call them later. She needed to see Bas first.

He opened the door for her before she could knock and wrapped his strong arms around her pulling her into to foyer. Once upon a time, she would've molded her body against his but tonight it felt awkward to be in his arms. She carefully removed herself away. Sebastian didn't take the hint and attempted to kiss Raye. Unlike what happened at the charity event she moved her head and his lips landed on her cheek.

"Sebastian that's not why I came," she stated.

He was taken aback by her statement. "What do you mean? I saw the interview and now you're here. I knew that when you came back to LA it would be a matter of time before you showed up here. I was tempted to come to you but I wanted to give you space. I already took care of everything with your marr--."

"Sebastian!" she shouted to stop his rambling. "I came back to say goodbye. I'm selling my apartment and moving to Orlando.....I'm choosing him."

"What?"

"A part of me will always love you Sebastian but I love Corey more and I can't live without him."

"So with everything he put you through you choose him? You have it in your head that this marriage is real....it's not."

"At first it wasn't but it is now. I'm his wife Sebastian. I love him the way a wife should love a husband." She didn't want to hurt Sebastian but she needed him to understand. "When I'm not with him I think about him constantly. These past two weeks have been miserable without him. There were feelings there for him before Vegas, I was only fooling myself."

Sebastian moved away from Raye.

"I never meant to hurt you Bas. I'm sorry."

"I can't believe you're choosing him over me. What does he have that I don't?"

"My heart," she simply said. "I made a mistake leaving him. I'm going back home to Corey."
