•The Next Morning•

I wake up smelling bacon cooking downstairs. I get out of bed and head into the bathroom to brush my teeth. "Marilyn honey!! Marilyn are you awake?!" I hear mother yell from outside my room. "Yeah mom," I walk outside of my room to see my mother standing by the kitchen, "Please come downstairs we have guest."I go back into my room and continue to get ready. Once I finish brushing my teeth and showering I put on some jean shorts and a crop top. I head downstairs, deciding to not check my phone, and go into the kitchen. "It smells amazing Rosalyn," she hands me a plate with bacon and eggs. I sit at the island table and begin to eat. A few moments later, my brother and his guest walk into the kitchen. "Hey Marilyn I want you to meet one of my......" I hear him pause, but then the man speaks. "..... Colleagues." I turn in my chair to see my brother and Blake sitting at the chair. I am speechless. I hadn't heard from Blake in a week and the last I had heard from him he had a game in New York.

"Blake this is my sister Marilyn, Marilyn this is-" I cut him off in the middle of his sentence. "I know who this is, Blake why are you here?" Blake looks at me hurt. I guess he wouldn't imagine me reacting to him coming here like this. "You two know each other?" We both nod and stare at one another intently, but I break eye contact quickly receiving a few looks from everyone in the kitchen. "Is this him?" Rosalyn asks walking towards the both of us smiling along with Alex and Harry. "Yeah it is," I say simply. "Why is he here? I mean I was supposed to be seeing him in New York last week! He calls me up and doesn't even take the time to talk to me for two weeks!" I think to myself.

Before anyone can say anything, Cara, Gisele, and her husband Louis entered the house interrupting our conversation. "Hey everybody!!" Cara yelled loudly crashing into mom and dad, hugging them tightly. "Oh wow, so you brought him! Hi I'm Cara I've heard a lot about you!" Cara shakes Blake's hand followed by Gisele and Louis. "Blake can I talk to you outside for a minute?" I walk outside followed by Blake who still looks a bit confused. "So I'm just confused, you call me up and tell me how you want to see me, but then you don't call me for two weeks?! Listen I'm not some kind of girl that you can ju-," 'oh hell no he did not just cut me off!' I think to myself as Blake begins to apologize. "I don't care about any of that! You don't ask a girl out on a date and just ignore her! I'm not like them other girls that you've screwed around with! Why are you even here in the first place!" By now Blake seemed to be getting furious. "I know you're not like those other girls! I didn't mean to ignore you; things got hectic, my schedule got changed. I didn't do it intentionally," He makes his way towards me grabbing my forearm, but I yank myself away leaving him outside by himself as I storm through the kitchen and out the front door.

I grab Harry's keys, on my way out, and enter his black range rover. I speed out of the driveway and begin to drive along a back road that lead to a creek. Once I arrive I get out a walk down a path. This path lead to a little tree house that my siblings and I would often go to whenever we were in Florida. During my time there I begin to think about everything. From my life in New York to my family; even Blake. I don't understand why I seem to push him away. Ever since I was little I had always tried to find something to hold against someone. Growing up with parents that practically traveled the world 24/7 and left their own children to be taken care of by different nannies every week, I had built up a defense against people. I found myself to often let someone in, to a point, but then I would push them away accusing them of something. Why do I always have to mess things up?!

A few moments go by of me walking along the lake before I receive a frantic call from Alex. "Marilyn!! Marilyn meet us at the hospital!! Your dad passed out and he won't wake up! We can't find a pulse! Hurry," I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I soon began to rush towards my car, sprinting at this point. I sped down the back road, clearing my head of Blake and I, and started to focus on my dad.

I get the hospital parking directly next to George's blacked out Escalade and dart into the emergency room. Once I get to the front desk, I frantically ask for the room of Christopher Scott, my father. I am redirected to the elevators where I run into Blake once again. "Listen Marli-" Blake begins talking to me but my mind is too far off. My focus was no longer on me and him but it was on my father. "Blake I'm not worried about us right now ok! I just need to make sure that my dads ok," I look up at Blake and see his expression change. He seemed to be more sympathetic. We get to the 4 floor, Intensive Care Unit, also know as the ICU. We make our way into the waiting room, I see my mother in the corner, surrounded by my brothers. Alex makes her way to me hugging me, telling me how sorry she was. 'This can't be! Not now! I think to myself. "What are you talking about?!" I say, making my question seem more of like a command. Alex looks at Blake and back at me with the same sympathy that Blake had in the elevator. "No! Please no! No!" I crumble to the floor, receiving looks from the rest of my family. I had received the worst news of my life, my life had changed forever........
