Marco's POV
Lily... I am afraid to ask her out because I don't want to have to break up and ruin our friendship. I know that she has feelings for me. But, I don't know if I do. I still feel in my heart that I should be with Nessa, but I feel bad for Lily. I really need some advice from someone besides Lily. I'm afraid that if I ask Nessa she will figure it out. But, she always has the best advice. So I call her up.

*ring ring ring ring*
"Hello, Marco?" Nessa says on the other side
"Hi Nessa! How are you?"
"I'm good. You?"
"I'm ok. I need some advice."
"I can help anytime!"
"So, there is that girl that I like still. She is in Cali and I talk to her sometimes but, not too much. She is kinda busy, but I miss her a TON. Then there is this girl I met here in New York. That I think I might kinda like but, I'm not sure. I am almost sure she likes me. We have a really strong friendship that I don't want to break. I can't decide whether I should get together with her, but maybe end up breaking and hurting our friendship in the end. Or staying friends and friend zoning her, but probably hurting her." I say quickly, barely breathing.
"Hmmmm...you should never date someone out of pity. And, you should move back out here so we can hang out while Roni is with Aaron." Nessa says jokingly "And so you can talk to the girl you like. Friend zoning will probably be pretty hard, but the sooner the better."
"Thank you! You are the best friend ever!"
"Anytime!"
"Well, I'm gonna go now. Talk to you soon!"
"Ok! We really need to talk more!"
"Yeah! Bye"
"Bye!"
*end of call*

I lay back on my bed. Then I pick up my phone and dial Lily...

Nessas pov
I am laying on the couch and thinking scrolling through Instagram on my phone. All of a sudden Daddy comes into the room grabs my crutches and runs out the door.
"What's happening Daddy?" I yell at him.
"Aaron's apartment building is on fire! And Roni's there. They are out safe. I will be back in a little bit. Text your mom if you need anything."

I really hope Roni and Aaron are ok! I start to get anxious and imagine Roni not being able to get out of the building. I finally clam myself down and realize there's nothing I can do and Daddy will save her.
I lay here for a little longer and think and think about my call with Marco. Who the hell would be on vacation for 5 months?!? And at the same time that I was at the hospital. No, it couldn't be me...well I don't like him anyways...right? I then grab my phone again to distract me.

Aaron's POV
We finally get to the Wendy and Paul's house. I help Roni our of the car and we hobble to the door. I open the door and it all starts to come to reality. I just lost EVERYTHING I own. Thank goodness Alex had brought Guppy to Lauren's. I realize that I am still standing there in the door way. We sit down on the couch and I excuse myself and go the bathroom. I sit on the floor and try to just process it all, but the only way I can is by crying. I start to bawl. No matter how had I try I can't stop myself. Finally it subdues to a sniffle. I wash my face in the sink and try to calm myself. Until there is a knock on the door.
"Aaron?" I soft voice calls, and I immediately recognize it as Roni's.
"Aaron are you ok?" She asks knocking again.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I say trying to sound like I wasn't just crying.
"Are you using the bathroom?" She asks
"N-" I start but I am interrupted by Roni opening the door and crutching in.
"Aaaaron, your not fine." she says in a worried but joking manner. She sits down next to me. We both stare at the closed door for a minute before anyone says anything. She scoots a little closer to me and we just sit there in silence. A few moments later I hear Nessa hobble over.
"Are both of you in there?" Nessa asks despite being upset we both giggle.
"Oh boy" nessa says and hobbles away. I just imagine Nessa rolling her eyes on the other side of the door.
"Hey Roni, how come you came in here?" I ask starting to feel awkward.
"Well, you looked like you were on the verge of tears and you have been in here for about 10 minutes." She said
"Well, thanks." I said and look over at her smiling. Some thing about her never failed to make me happy.
"Anytime" She said and then patted my leg.
