Two Broken Hearts

(Ryan's P.O.V.)

I can't find her. Ever since my encounter with her for her as my assigned songwriter, she just left. I had no clue I'd break her that bad. Love destroys people. I find a girl who I suppose must work here and ask her if she seen Lillian.

She replies "She must've left. Don't know why." I find Adam and say "Since you are my new boss, is there anything I don't know about? Is there any rules you specifically have for me as your client?" He looks at me and says "No dating a co-worker, and no looking at Lil in a loving manner."

My jaw clenches at how her name rolls off his lips. I clench my fists and say "Why specifically her?" He says "I've liked her and grown close to her, the last thing that beautiful girl needs to worry about is another broken heart. Apparently her last one destroyed and broke her horribly. I can tell. I can't left her get hurt again. Break the girl I've grown close to."

I question "How close?" He says "Closer than I'll ever let you get to her." I ask "Is that a threat?" He answers "Not a threat, just a warning." I question "If she's been broken by a g-guy, then why in your right, overprotective mind would you hire a guy to work with her?"

He shrugs, clearly knowing his reasoning behind why he did hire me. I question him again, louder and anger in my voice, "Why would you hire a guy to work with her?" He comes in to my face and grips my chin hard. He says "Ryan, is it was your concern, I hire guys to work with her to make her break more, she leans to me when she breaks." I shake my head disgusted and say "You love her only when she's breaking, only when she's in her most vulnerable state. How truly disgusting."

He shrugs and calmly states "I love vulnerability, I can walk all over her and she just sees it as affection." I push him by his shoulders catching him off-guard causing him to fall to the ground. I stand above him and say "I'm not gonna let you do that to her, she has been through so much and I'm not letting you break her just to get your attention you want from her." He asks "How do you know how much she's been through?"

I scream "I caused it! I broke her."
