Ascella's POV I woke up screaming. I don't know why, but it seemed pretty bad. My dad rushed into my room along with Opal and shushed me. "It's okay! It's okay, bebe. You're okay..." Dad rubbed my arms gently and held me as I calmed down. Opal gave me water to drink and dad removed my sweater, leaving me in my tank top. "It's okay, Ella Bella. You're okay. You're safe." He murmured, "No one is here to hurt you." I nodded and dig myself into him. He sighed and kissed my head. Luckily, dad got to stay home and take care of Zara. Whatever I dreamt about had me so spooked that I couldn't get out of bed. Opal sat with me, hummed gently and held me. My phone started to buzz on my side table, which Opal grabbed and looked. "It's him." I held out my hand and she placed it in my palm. I saw Rafael's Caller ID and answered. "Hello-" "Hi, baby!" His voice was slurred over the phone. I smiled sadly, "Hi, honey..." "I just wanted to say...i miss you...and you're probably the most gorgeous thing right now and I'm missing it!" There were laughs and yells in the background. I looked down and nodded, "I miss you too, hun..." "Ella? You okay?" From his voice, I could tell he was sobering up, "Baby? Talk to me." "I...I'm fine." The commotion in the background died down, signifying that he stepped out of the room. "Go back to the party, Rafi..." I whispered, watching as Opal walked out and shut the door quietly. "No, no, I wanna talk to you. I know you probably just woke up...but I know something happened. Tell me." He murmured. I ran a hand through my hair and bit my lip. A tear ran down my cheek and my throat tightened. "I'm okay." I whispered. "Cariño...do you need me to come back? I will, I'll take the next flight back." He sounded as serious as if i were dying. I shook my head a sniffled, "No. Don't." "Ella-" "Don't. Please, don't. Promise me. Promise me you won't." There was a small amount of silence before he sighed, "I won't. I promise." "Thank you..." "I love you." "I love you too." I hung up and tossed my phone to the end of my bed.
Rafael's POV I placed my phone down, sighed, and looked out to the moon. It was cold as shit but could care less, this balcony made me feel a bit closer to Ascella. "Hey, Barba!" My friend from Virginia walked out, "You good?" "Yeah." I smiled weakly. "Looks like you need another drink!" "Nah, I'm gonna go to bed. I think I've had enough." "Was that your girl?" I looked at him, "Huh?" "The person you were talking to. Was that your girl?" "Yeah. It was." "You must love her." "What makes you say that?" I chuckled. "I've never seen you so...calm. She must mean a lot." I nodded, "She does." I walked up to my room and sighed, pulled off my shirt, and started looking for my sweats. Once I was situated in bed, I pulled out my phone and looked through my pictures. Ascella was gorgeous and was the one who took up most of my photo albums.

I can't believe this woman is in a relationship with me. Rafael Barba of all people. I don't even know if I'm treating her right, or if I'm going to mess things up like I did with Yelina. Okay, I gotta calm down because I know Ascella would slap me upside the head if she heard what I was thinking. But...how long do we plan on making this last? I thought I was gonna be her fling, or her sugar daddy. But I'm her actual significant other. Do we plan on marrying? Having kids? Oh god, that would mean we have to tell Nick. Nick will kill me before I can ask Ascella to marry me. Maybe Liv will kill me before Nick does. Should I tell Liv? What would she say? What would she even think? I could lose my job. Ascella could get kicked out of Fordham. I don't know how that would happen but someone would find a way.
