Everyone at the party left. Lisa had to take them out. It was just Flash, Lisa, Trey and Angela. Plus Marcus who was sitting by he door. He wasn't planning on moving. Charlotte was sitting by the door too. She hasn't said a word to him. But she soon will.

"Marcus, ain't you hungry?" Lisa asked walking up to him with a plate off food. Marcus looked at her than nodded. She placed the plate to him than sighed. She knocked at the door.

"Charlotte it's Lisa. C'mon open the door. Please." Lisa asked.

"I ain't opening shit! Till he stays away from me. At least 10 feet" Charlotte said. Marcus smirked. He missed her tone off voice. She still sounded beautiful. Lisa looked down at Marcus.

"Marcus please just 5 feet at least. I'm tired and pregnant. Think about your nephew." Lisa said. Marcus bite his chicken.

"Alright but I ain't letting her go home." Marcus said standing up.

"Thank you Jesus." Angela said making Trey laugh a bit. Marcus walked to the side off the room. Just 6 feet away.

"Okay Charlotte. His away." Lisa said. The door opened and Charlotte walked out slowly. Their eyes met, she saw sorrow and pain. He saw pain, confusion, hurt and scariness. He looked down at his shoes and put his hands in his pocket. He felt ashamed off himself.

"I'm sorry Charlotte." He said. Charlotte walked to her purse and phone.

"I'm sure you are." She turned to Lisa. "I have to go home. You know my hotel room number. Bye everyone." Charlotte said. Marcus looked up at her. He didn't want her to leave. Not yet.

"Charlotte can ya' at least hear meh?" He asked her. She walked out the room. Marcus shook his head. Lisa looked at him than pat his shoulder secretly. He looked at her. She took out a paper and pen. Than wrote down something. She hand it to him.

Miami's Hottest hotel. Near the beach.
Room 56.

Marcus looked at Lisa and hugged her. Lisa smiled, she knows Charlotte will hate her but Shell thank her later. As they hugged. She whispered.

"Get some rest first. Let her cool down for a while. Than see her." They pulled apart. Marcus nodded.

"Urgh Lisa, I love Miami and the beach. Plus you and everyone but I can't stay any longer. Marcus knows I'm here. Plus I've got work." Charlotte said to the phone as she packed her clothes. She was heading back to New York. She got a ticket and she's leaving at night.

"I know Charlotte but....I need you" Lisa tried to convince her.

"No. That's not gonna work." Charlotte said

"Urgh okay. I understand. Bye" Lisa said.

"Don't be like that-" there was a knock on the door. "Okay, I have to go. Can we meet for lunch?"

"Sure."

"Okay bye. Love you."

"Love you more Char." Lisa hung up. Charlotte walked to the door. She tied her hair as she walked there. She had on track booty shorts with a sweater to match. She opened the door and her heart beat faster. Marcus was standing there with roses.

"Marcus what you doing here?" She asked him.

"I-i-i came to see you." He looked at her up and down than looked his lips. Charlotte felt uncomfortable for a moment. "Can I come in?" He asked her.

"N-" he walked in. Charlotte was scared.  She was shaking a lil bit. Or a lot. "Please, stay away from me." Charlotte whispered.

"Charlotte, I can't. I'm sorry about what happened." He stepped close that's when Charlotte lost it. She ran to the bathroom and shut the door. Marcus sighed. "Not this again." He mumbled irritated. He took out his leather jacket than shut the front door. He looked around the room. He can see she was packing. "Hell nah. She ain't leaving. She staying for good. Fuck New York." He throw out her clothes from her bag. He placed them back in the closest neatly. He looked at the plane ticket than tore it in half.

"Marcus, get out! What you doing?!" Charlotte asked from the bathroom.

"You would see if you stepped out the bathroom." He said. Charlotte sighed. She has to face her love- her fear. She stepped out the bathroom and saw all her clothes back in the closest And the plane ticket in half.

"Da' fuck Marcus!" She walked up to him and pushed him. "What is wrong with you?! That was my ticket back home!" She yelled.

"You are home! Well not in this hotel room but Miami is home. Charlotte I've been searching high and low for you. I'm sorry! I am sorry!" Marcus said.

"I don't fucking care. Fuck your sorry And shove it up your ass! You ain't shit Marcus! You hurt me! Destroyed me! I was hurting when we lost our baby b-" Marcus cut her.

"I know baybeh."

"No you don't! You blamed me than put your hands on me! You yelled at me! You cursed me out! Called me a bitch! A bitch Marcus! Fuck out off here! I ain't going back to no relationship where I know my man can hit me!" Charlotte yelled.

"I'm sorry. Charlotte you know I would never hurt you. I was mad, drunk and high."

"Oh sure. Blame it on the liquor! Blame it on the weed!"

"No for real. I ain't mean to hurt you! I love you Charlotte. I know you still do too. You still love me"

"No I don't. I have a boyfriend who treats me better." Charlotte said

"Oh really! I heard. Does he love you like I did? You knew I would jump the cliff for your love! Remember when you agreed to be my girl." Charlotte looked away. "We jumped the cliff. Showing that we were ride or dies. We were meant to be together. I didn't stop loving you than and I ain't stop now. When we broke up and it was hell. Tell you hurting without me? Tell me you were hurting?"  Marcus cried. Charlotte shook her head as tears fall down her eyes.

"I was just fine."
