I Need You To Love Me

Matthew took the slip of paper that led him here and re-read it. He looked down at the signature again that read 'Cupid' with a heart dotted above the 'i'. "Cupid." He muttered. "Some bull." He did get a vacation out of it though, so it wasn't all bad. He turned next to the guy next to him and started a conversation. It went something along the lines of "Hey how are you? What are your plans here? A vacation? That's cool. Me? I'm here because one of my friends wants to play match maker." The two shared a few laughs before the engine of the boat slowed itself to a stop. A voice echoed over the small tourism boat that called out "San Valentine awaits ladies and gentlemen, We hope you enjoy your stay." With that, Matthew stood and shook hands with the man, departing from the boat and leaving a life he once knew.

Nick yawned as the boat gently glided over the water. He had his white headphones on so he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. Today he wore a pair of True Religion jeans and a American Eagle blue and white striped polo with the collar popped up. Music slurred into his ears, but he paid no attention to it either. He was basically spacing out. Once the boat halted at the dock of San Valentine he stood up from his seat and filed out of the boat along with a couple of people. The little invitation letter was in his back pocket as he walked over to a small ice cream stand and asked for a bottle of water. He gave the guy there two dollars, got his fivty cent change, and wandered around the place for a while. Nick still wasn't sure where to go since the idea of Cupid was an insult to him. What, someone thought he couldn't get a girl?

Free vacation, though? Nick couldn't pass up the chance.

Water splattered hard with a great thud against the varnished metal painted a stale blue as it sliced through the ocean with a determined steady speed. The boat rocked from side to side as the waves hoisted it to their current not strong enough to drag the heavy transport away from its destination as the boat continued forward towards a sheer arisen telling faint of an Island ahead.

Jessica Eversteine tugged tighter at the opening of her warm leather jacket fighting the cold of the sea air that rushed through her light brown hair. Standing on the first level she watched with awe at the changing blues the sea reflected over the railings, resulting in the salty water splashing in her face making her wrinkle her nose in distrust before moving away.

It was only a mere two weeks previous that Jessica had been sat in her small apartment paint smudged on her cheek, it was then that she found a letter unlike her bills envelopes chucked through her door and it was strangely addressed to her. She never received letters. With a quick shrug of indifference she tore it open delicately to inspect the contents finding herself fairly surprised with delight. She had somehow won a free holiday to an island just off the coast called ‘San Valentine’, the name struck her as something odd, but she made no further interest in it but instead with a smile rebounded back to her room and began to plan what she would need to bring.

Holidays were a rare thing for Jessica, but the fact never changed that she loved to travel; she adored new excitement and experiencing new adventures, which was probably why she got into trouble a lot of the time. She had been reported missing twice in her life already just because she had gotten lost in some forest somewhere simply because she forgot the time. That wasn’t a healthy record for a 19 year old to have.

A sudden boom from a speaker drew Jessica’s head towards the helm of the boat as the captain announced their arrival. Jessica snuggled into her jacket grabbing the handle of her suitcase as she turned to face the opposite end of the boat to what she was currently; it was then that she saw the island and its wonder in detail for the first time. The quietening chill of excitement fluttered in her chest as she beamed at the sight before her clueless to the truth of what was to come.

Reiner

He walked along the bow of the boat, gazing into the water as it was sucked under. Cupid huh? No doubt some prank, pulled by one of his friends. Maybe his parents.. Though he doubted that highly. He wasn't exactly on the greatest terms with them. They wouldn't even send him christmas cards- much less a free vacation. Whatever. I doesn't matter.. Reiner raised his eyes to the approaching island. I'm going to enjoy myself.

They docked in a harbor, tourists pouring off the boat and off towards the white-sand beach. "San Valentine awaits ladies and gentlemen, We hope you enjoy your stay." He shouldered his bags and disembarked. The sun felt nice, and the air was fresh. He swore he could hear someone playing music. Reiner sighed, stretching, and eyed the town before him. Now what? He searched his bag for the letter. Is there a guide? Or am I just supposed to find my own place? ... No such luck. The envelope was blank, and held nothing except for his ticket and the invitation. He pulled out the letter, reading it again, and flipped it over in his hands. Who the fuck is this Cupid person? I thought I'd at least find them waiting when I arrived... He glanced around. Something caught his eye.

... A piece of stationary. Just like the one he held. No mistaking that ugly pink paper. "Hey..." Reiner made his way over to the guy (Matthew), waving his own letter casually. "You got one too huh?" His eyes roamed slowly over the guy's face. Not bad. "Know where I might go from here?"

Analise
She walks on to the boat among the other tourist wondering why she got chosen for these vaction. I don't get it. I didn't even sign up for this. She thinks as she walks to the bow of the boat and sheids her eyes from the sun. She holds her letter in her hand and can't think except about the art there must be there. Just a week ago she was looking at her bills looking for her heating bill and all of a sudden she sees this pink letter for a free 6 month trip to San Valentines. All she did was roll her eyes and toss it away until she got another one. Stupid letter. Fine, I'll go. She thought as she started to pack.


She taps her fingers on the rail trying to stay still. Never being on a boat except for the time she went to see the satute of liberty with an ex. Don't remind me. She thinks before started to speed up on drumming on the rail. She always hated being stuck in one place for too long like hm, an island maybe. She looks at the other passengers wondering if any of them got the same letter. She looks at this girl and sees the same pink letter. She walks over to her and smile. "So, you got the same letter?" She asked as she showed the girl her letter.

Jessica

Jessica stared up at the sky dotted with whispy thin clouds as the suns rays poked through the striking light blue lighting up the hot white sand that sparkled beneath its splender as the boat pulled into the docks at San Valentine Island. Jessica wondered if the sand was as hot as it looked, she wanted to kick off her flat ballet style shoes and let the sand run through her toes out of curiosity but a voice quite feminie distracted her at the boats plank as she made her way to get off.

A flash of pink caught her eyes as a girl with beautiful long red dyed hair approached her, Jessica was caught in her appearence the girls hair shining in the sun as she admired her daring style of clothing. She looked at her own brown loose girls and knew they were nothing compared to her striking red. "So, you got the same letter?" the girl said the pink letter grabbing Jessica's attention making her smile, so she wasnt the only person who won a free holiday, maybe there were others too? Maybe this girl would know why they were chosen in the first place, not that she would complain about having a free vacation.

"Looks like I did" she said her own letter clutched within her left hand crunched around the handle of her suitcase, she'd practically forgotton she was holding it and quickly tried to straighten it out with an awkard guilty laugh "I get forgetful sometimes" she explained as she did so. "Im Jessica, its nice to meet you" she held out her free right hand "its beautiful here isn't it? I feel so lucky to have won this vaction, no idea why I was chosen though i dont even remember signing up to anything. What about you? Did you enjoy the boat ride here, im glad i dont get sea sick, that poor old man who did, I would hate to have expierenced that" she talked comfortable to this girl. Jessica never had a problem with strangers, it was her tendancy to act like she had known people for years that made her so easy to tallk too.

People began to file off the boat, the workers wiping their brows preparing to leave again making Jessica grab her purple suitcase, "Looks like we best depart I think they are getting ready to leave again" she smiled moving onto the silver metal plank her shoes making it echo with every step as she arrived onto the white sandy beach.

Blair looked out at the water, mesmerised at the blue lapping against the hull of the boat, she couldn’t actually believe she had agreed to this, two weeks ago she had been in her dorm at NYU when she discovered the letter in a pile of post her roommate had brought up. At first she had quickly dismissed it as a prank but once her best friend Jenny had spotted it, she had been adamant that she went, if not to find love then at least to get the free holiday, the opportunity was too great to pass up really. So Blair had agreed and now here she was on the deck of a boat on her way to the island of San Valentine.

When the boat docked she walked down the gangway, her oversized suitcase in toe, smiling as the sun hit her skin, looking around she saw two girls with what looked like the same letter, walking over she offered them a small smile and wave “Hey, I see you got the letter to?”

As he left the docks, Matthew was approached by someone holding the same sort of note he was. His thought process started picking up speed. Someone else got a letter. So at least he wasn't being pranked alone if at all. It was another guy so chances are that the letter wasn't talking about him. He seemed friendly enough, just trying to find some common ground with a stranger, so Matthew decided there'd be no harm in talking to someone in the same situation as him. "Yeah." He replied. "Pretty kooky huh?" He studied the way the other guy talked as he listened. Didn't seem like he was from Texas. Or Dallas anyways. The phonetics were completely off for that. He could definitely hear German in there though. "Not a clue." He held out his hand. "I'm Matthew by the way. Know if anyone else got a letter?"

"I'm Analise. Nice to meet you, Jessica and now that you mention it, I live in a shoebox apartment in New york and i never remember signing up for anything." She saids as she smiles and looks at Blair. "Yea, we both got the sme exact leter except for where it saids your name it saids ours." She saids in a joking voice. She looks at the dock and sees the beautiful city of San Valentine right there in front of her. "Whoa, it's so beautiful here." She saids as she shelids her eyes from the sun with her paint stained hands. "Hey, we should all go look around after we drop our luggage off. Better than being alone and getting lost." She adds witha smile.

Jessica was soon distracted from the sands beauty the city of san valentine taking command, it struck her as exuberant and fasinating, she wondered what type of people lived here on the island, she wondered what she might find hidden within it forests or deserted beaches. Hopefully their was airconditioning in where they were staying, whereever that was, she actually wasn't quite sure maybe she should have read the fine print on the letter a bit more, she should probably do that, but the need to take a photograph of the city took first priority in her eyes.
Grabbing the camera that hung around her neck she altered the lens to fit the quality and snapped away at the veiw she saw. She must look like a pretty infatuated tourist with it but she didnt care because technically she was, not to mention she took pictures of everything she saw anyway.

"Maybe it was a random selection frrom the government using our adresses?" Jessica commented thinking about of who could have sent them here, thats when another girl showed up her suitcase rather large and her blonde hair sparkling in the sun like it was a miny sun itself.

Analise was quick to reply as Jess tugged her own suitcase through the sand which was proving to be a difficult task the heat sinking into her skin making her decide to take her leather jacket off to reveal the sleevless blue sundress she wore over black leggins and flats. She only wore it to cope with the cold on the boat, and was definitely donning the leggins when she got to the hotel.

"Thats a good idea, im always getting lost on my own" Jess gave a slight laugh though it was probably only something she understood at her own expense since she had been reported missing twice. "Do you know which hotel we're staying at? I'm a little unsure, there seems to be quite a few around here looking at the town" she decided that when spotting the many tall buildings that were newer to the rest, they screamed hotels. "I wonder what type of rooms we'll have, I hope the view is good, gosh i'd love an overlook of the oceon if anything. Maybe they will even have chocolates waiting on our pillows" she giggled a little excited, she never got treated like this and was going to enjoy it to the full.
"Im Jess by the way, and thats Analise its nice to meet you" she gave the blonde girl a smile after realising she hadn't introduced herself yet. She hoped she could remember both of their names though, she was never good with names.

Nick was feeling lost as he read over the letter. Why had he decided to haul his ass over here? Finishing his water bottle he tossed it into a garbage can and looked around for a bit. He saw various couples holding hands and a few small families, but what caught his eye was a couple of guys talking to each other and if he wasn't mistaken, they both had the exact same letter he had. Well, it was better then being lost and confused alone, right? He walked over to the two guys and kind of huffed a little as a greeted. He put on his unemotional stoic smile and stood in front of them hearing what Matthew had to say.

"Hey, I got the Cupid letter. I was beginning to think I was alone on this. I was just wondering if you know where the hotel is." He tried to be nice and all. He had one hand holding out the letter, showing it to the other two. "Name's Nicholas, by the way. Nick or Cole, it doesn't matter." They didn't seem horrible, he noted. If he was staying here for a little more than a while, then why not make a friend or two? He didn't like being a loner.

Matthew tunred to Nick. "Hey, I'm Matthew. Nice to see some people got it besides me." He smiled at Nick. "I think we're supposed to go to that hotel." He pointed to the hotel across the beach, then noticed the three girls out on the sand. He whistled quietly and turned to the others. "Maybe this won't be such a bad trip huh?" He chuckled.

She walks off the boat and looks around. She stops the second she sees a familar face. 'No way,that's not him. i'm just going to look away.' She thinks before turning around pretending not to see anything. She looks at the old looking hotel in front of them. "Um, this is me taking a guess but I think this is our hotel." She saids as she points at the hotel. She starts to walk towards the hotel as she rolls her sutcase and holds her carry-on on the cement sidewalk they have on the beach. 'I didn't see anything, my mind must be going crazy from the sea water.'She tells herself as she begins to walk with her sandals hitting the cement making a flopping sound.


((By the way does everyone know their ex?))

((Yeah had to edit Matthew a bit but it should be fine for me now. P.S. Sorry about my crappy post earlier, I was at school still working on an animation and didn't have much time to post.))

Matthew's expression dropped for a moment when he realized he knew one of the girls. "Strike that, I'm getting back on that boat." He turned just in time to see the ship pull away from the docks. "Dammit." He muttered under his breath. He turned back to the others and re-read his note. "Hey do you guys recognize either of the girls walking with that blonde one on the sand?" He was hoping they didn't, but if they did, he wouldn't be alone at least. He crumpled the piece of stationary and shoved it in his pocket.

((Ok just making sure. :) ))

Reiner

Damn. I guess I'll just have to find a place.. Can't be too hard on a little island.. "I'm Matthew by the way. Know if anyone else got a letter?" "Erfreut. Reiner." He shook the boy's hand. "No... I was traveling alone. Thought it was a prank at first.." "Hey, I got the Cupid letter. I was beginning to think I was alone on this. I was just wondering if you know where the hotel is." Reiner turned to look at the newcomer. Well. This gets stranger by the second. "Name's Nicholas, by the way. Nick or Cole, it doesn't matter." "Nick, I'm Reiner." He stuck his had out to the new guy as well. I suppose we're all in on this... whatever this is. "I think we're supposed to go to that hotel." His eyes followed the direction of Matthew's finger, up the beach to a white hotel a ways up from where they stood. He chuckled, "Ah.. I wouldn't mind staying there."

He had turned to head up the boardwalk, when Matthew spoke again. "Strike that, I'm getting back on that boat." Hm? Reiner turned, eyeing the boy as he fidgeted. Why would you leave paradise? ... Somethings wrong with yo- "Hey do you guys recognize either of the girls walking with that blonde one on the sand?" What? He glanced over the guy's shoulder back towards the boat. ... Fuck.

Jessica.

Jess.

Why... Why was she here? On vacation. At the same time he was. It didn't make sense. Shit. What the hell?... He tore his eyes off her. It.. It hurt to look at her. Why does it hurt?.. He was the one who tore her apart. Broke her trust in him. Left her. This isn't like me. Still, he found his eyes drifting back to the brunette.. her hair mussed by the warm breeze. She still smiled the same... The mirth lit up her face, danced in her eyes.. Like back then. Back then before he dimmed it. Those eyes... Again, the pang in his chest. The fuck's wrong with me? Get a hold of yourself Rain.

Grunting, he grabbed Matthew's wrist, tugging him towards the Hotel. "Scheiße. I don't know what's going on, but I'm not blowing a vacation just because of a girl." Just another girl. That's all she was. Just another.. He grinned over at Matthew and Nick. "What say we just go check in, and forget what I just saw over some waves and bikinis?" No way she was here because of this Cupid thing. Fucking cupid shit. What sort of sick game is this? There's no way. No way she was here because of the pink letters. Not possible. No.

"I'd like a room please." "I'm sorry sir.. We've filled up the last of the double rooms." Reiner glanced back at the men behind him. "Uh.. No. We're not.. together." He chuckled slightly, "I think we'd just like separate rooms.." He said, glancing back to confirm they wanted rooms as well. "Sure, let me see what is available.." Reiner waited, moving off to the side of the reception desk. "I suppose people made reservations in advance." The receptionist hadn't asked for their names yet, still dialing up. His eye's panned the room. It was a small hotel, cute, quaint... clean. For a moment he'd almost forgot who he'd seen standing on the white sand.. The memories of her came flooding back again. Reiner frowned. He turned to the others, making conversation for conversation's sake. Why can't I get my mind off of her? "Hopefully they have rooms left over. This seems like the perfect place..." He crossed his arms, staring out the window at the water. "I just want to swim.."

"Sir? I'm sorry, but all the rooms have been taken." "Taken?" Disbelief colored his tone. "How could they? The boat only just arrived!" She smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, but they've all been reserved." Scowling, Reiner searched for his wallet. I'll Just have to find another place.. As he did, the pink letter fell from his pocket. The receptionist's eyes widened slightly. "May I ask your name?" He bent to retrieve the paper, glancing up "Sure... It's Reiner Solan." "Solan... Let me see... ah here. Yes, I have a room booked for you. One bed, second floor to your right." Promptly handing him a key, she turned to the others. ... Weird. Everything was strange. What was going on here? Hell. He wasn't going to complain. A free ticket, and now a free room? All because of one letter. He wasn't going to look at ugly pink stationary the same way ever again. Maybe pink's my lucky color. Reiner made his way up the stairs, over to his room to unpack. At this rate, I'll be able to forget h- Goddamn it.

Ana lise walks into the hotel with one earbud in her ear blasting the 'Hey,Soul Sister'. She walks up to the front desk and sees Nicholas. She looks to the ceiling You just love to test me don't you? She tries swallow the lump in her throat and countinues to walk to the front desk. "Hi, me and my friends need rooms. I think we made reservations. "I don't know for sure but um we have a letter. It's some where in here....Oh! There it is."

She looks in her bag looking for the pink letter, trying not to look at Nich- NO! Not even going to say his name "Oh,here we go." She saids as she hands the receptionist the crummbled up pink paper. No way is he here for that letter too. No way in Hell!.....Right? "Oh, here you are. One bed second floor. All of you are on the same floor as each other as well. Here is your key, ma'am Saids the receptionist as she handed her the key. "Thank you." Analise saids with a smile and starts to walk towards the stairs. "I guess I'll see you guys in a little while." She saids as she smiles and waves good-bye.

She goes to her room and starts to unpack. She puts everything away very neatly before putting her black bowler hat on the wooden desk set to the side of the room. She heads to the restroom to re-do her hair and fix her make-up (Don't Judge.) before going to look around town with her new friends. Man, have I ever heard of STRANGER DANGER? Guess not

Matthew picked up his key after a short, hushed discussion of his last name. For some reason the receptionist kept saying it 'Scare-pa' and Matthew didn't want to raise his voice enough where Blair could hear it. After he got his key he was told that his room was "Number two-ninety, second floor and down at the tend of the hall." He handed the man a ten spot tip and hurried off to catch up with the others. "That did not just happen." He sighed and went to unlock his room. "Meet me back out here in five if you guys wanna go down to the beach. I'll buy lunch." He tossed his stuff in his room, pulled out a pair of board shorts and undressed, his back to the door. "Shit I just hope she doesn't see me. Or if she did she's not still pissed."

Blair smiled at the girls "It's really nice to meet you all, I'm Blair" she said in a friendly tone, casting a glance towards a group of three guys a smirk appeared on her face "Looks like this might not be so bad after all" she laughed lightly, she was suddenly distracted by one of them, narrowing her eyes, she tried to get a better look, Is that? No, it can't be. She quickly shook all thought of him from her mind and continued her conversation with the girls. When she glanced back she noticed that they had made their way back to the hotel and they soon did the same.

Walking into the lobby Blair was amazed "This place is amazing" she voiced her opinion with a smile, she hung back with Jess as Ana went to get their rooms "So this should be fun right?" she asked still not convinced that this was the best idea, Ana came back and handed their keys, they walked down the halls "So do you guys fancy meeting up in say half an hour and getting some lunch?" she asked.

Finding her room quickly she said goodbye to Jess and Ana, and opened her door, the smile instantly dropped from her lips at the sight of a half naked man in her room and not just any half naked man, non-other than Mathew-Fucking-Scarpa "You have got to be kidding me!" she exclaimed.

Matthew turned when he heard Blair. Unfortunately, he turned too quickly, fell and whacked his head on the coffee table. "Jesus!" He got up and rubbed the back of his head. "What are you doing here?" He tossed his clothes in his bag and pulled out a towel. "It's bad enough i've got this creepy letter, now my ex is following me around a resort, breaking into my room." He muttered. Turning back to her, he tied the drawstring on his suit. "How did you even get in here?"

Matthew turned when he heard Blair. Unfortunately, he turned too quickly, fell and whacked his head on the coffee table. "Jesus!" He got up and rubbed the back of his head. "What are you doing here?"

Turning back to her, he tied the drawstring on his suit. "How did you even get in here?"

Blair couldn't help but let a small laugh escape her lips as Mathew fell hitting his head "What are you doing here?" he snapped and Blair narrowed her eyes at him " I could ask you the same question!" she spat back.

"It's bad enough i've got this creepy letter, now my ex is following me around a resort, breaking into my room." Blair scoffed at his statement "Oh don't play the victim here, I got exactly the same letter as you and I think you'll find THIS is my ROOM!"

Jessica was admiring a broken shell on the shore as Analise lifted her hand to point out a white building. "Um, this is me taking a guess but I think this is our hotel" she said with a certainty that Jessica hoped meant she was correct. She wasnt in the mood to be wasting time finding out where they were staying. She assumed that winning this trip meant that rooms had been booked for them considered it was required they sign in at a particular hotel so having to find them instead of enjoying the sun would be a pain she could do without.

"It looks nice, a little old but I think I like that more than new hotels" she commented in thought, only to look to the others to find them already moviing towards the grand structure. Analise was walking with a pace her flip flops making a sound on the cement pavement which Jessica stumbled onto quickly trying to keep up, something was different with her, she seemed a little shocked for some reason making her wonder if something was wrong.
Analise was the first one to take control going straight to the counter, it seemed she knew what she was doing so she hung back happy to wait with Blair, the girl was much taller than her making her feel short which technically she was but she shrugged it off.

"This place is amazing" Blair voiced her opinion with a smile, "So this should be fun right?"

"I hope so I haven't noticed anything wro-" she stopped in her words as her eyes scanned the hotels interior, she swear she saw a flash of someone, no SOMETHING familiar, it was the ink on his arm that drew her attention. No, many people have tattoos, she's just deluding herself he's not here at all, that would be impossible. This would be hell instead of a heaven if that was true, no she was just imagining things, assuming the worse because of a common feature. She cant see that well from this distance, Reiner has no way of being on this Island. Suddenly she shivered, his name still brought back pain, her fist gripping on reflex as she fought the twist of anger and hurt mixed together burying them back down deep within her heart. She swore never to see him again and that was final.

Ana broke Jess's thoughts at that moment as she handed her and Blair their room keys, she was grateful to get them she wanted nothing better than to wash the sea water from her face which had splashed at her on the boat. "So do you guys fancy meeting up in say half an hour and getting some lunch?" Blair asked before heading to her own room.

"Sure that sounds like a great idea, I wonder what kind of local food they have I hope its not something strange like fried scorpian" she laughed in reply grabbing her suitcase to roll it towards her room. Thank god there was an elevator she didnt know how she would handle stairs, she didn't cope well with physical strength.
"96...97... ah 98!" Jess spoke toherself as she walked along the hall of the second floor, fumbling with her card key she managed to slot it into the lock failing at her first attempt to get it open. "Damn it" she cursed, technology was her worst enemy on most occasions. Third time lucky she managed to open the door, however when she did the excited smile to see if chocolates were on her bed fell within an instant as her worse imagination stood before her.

"Reiner" she said with no emotion shock, horror, pain then anger flashing through face.

His ears perked up. " You got one too? Know if anyone else did?" He headed for the door, then turned back. "Let's go get all this sorted out." He went out the door, down the hall and into the lobby. When he made it up to the front desk he put his key on the counter. "Excuse me, could you tell me who room Two Ninety is registered under?" The young man behind the desk typed a few things into the computer then turned back to Matthew. "It's registered under two names sir. A Mr. Scarpa and a Ms. Anderson." Matthew sighed and tossed his hands up in a shrug. "Gotta be kidding me."

Nick shook the other guys hand. "Hey, Reiner," he said trying to sound friendly. He wasn't paying too much attention to the group of girls and didn't recognize Analise despite the eye catching red hair she was sporting. Sometimes he missed important detials like that. He followed the other two towards the tall hotel building and looked around at everything, completely missing all of the details. He let is eyes wander to the counter where Reiner was trying to get a room. Stupidly, they were all booked. He was about to speak up, but Reiner seemed to already have reserved a room.

Matthew had the same deal and told them to meet up back at the lobby in five minutes. "See ya in five," he muttered waving him off as Matthew went to his room. Nick went up to the woman behind the desk and with a smile she asked him for his name. "Nicholas Choi," he said and was quickly given a room and key card. "Thanks, ma'am," he said to her and turned on his heel towards the elevator. He held it open for a pregnant woman and her husband. They slowly went up the floors. He got off at his level and whistled as he went down the hall with pastel wallpaper and beach paintings framed every dozen steps.

He started to open his door and stopped when he saw Analise's luggage. "Hell?" he asked and shut the door behind him with a loud thud. "Who's in here?" He walked over to the bathroom by the glass window, scowling. He didn't like sharing with strangers. There wasn't anybody in the room. There was make-up and luggage that obviously was not his. "Hell?" He tossed open the luggage and found female clothing. Reading the name tag, he cursed. "Analise?"

He found his luggage hidden beside the television set and quickly changed to swimming trunks and a loose white shirt. He left his percious headphones hidden in a drawer. Marching down towards the lobby, he spotted Matthew. "Hey, man," he said. "What happened?" he asked noticing his facial expression.

"Hey Nick." He said and took him aside. "I got roomed with my ex. She showed me a letter, just like ours." He hit his and Nick's chest gently with the slip of gaudy pink paper, gesturing. "What about you? The same situation?"He'd guessed they were in the same boat but wanted to be sure. (((sorry in school i'll edit to make it better when i'm home.)

After a few minutes she forgot her bag with her money and iphone in it. "Oh. I can't believe I forgot my-" is all she saids before seeing her luggage was open. She looks around in her room seeing if anyone was in here. She shakes her head thinking she has finally went crazy.What the hell is going on with me She raises her eyebrow and walks in the restroom seeing her her make up was still there. She looks back at her black bag "What the hell?" She saids as she walks to her bag and closes the bag. She rushes to the lobby wanting an explanation.

She walks to the lobby and sees Nick again. "Really?" She saids as she walks to the front desk. "Excuse me but someone was in my room and I'm not sharing a room with anyone as far as I know." She saids as she puts her hair behind peirced ear for the third time in a few seconds. "Can you tell me if i'm suppost to be sharing a room with anyone." She saids with a smile

Well, the room is for a Miss.Von De and a Mr. Choi. The receptionist saids as she looks at the rooms. "Oh my God." Analise saids in a hushed tone with a surprised looks on her face like she isn't breathing. "Thank you, ma'am." She smiled and walked away sitting on a couch in the lobby far away from Nick and who ever he was with. She looked over her shoulder,she exhales wishing she had the courage just to go over their and give him a piece of his mind.

[i]I'm gonna do,it's been three damn years,I need to do this for closure." She got up and walked over the Nicholas and Matthew. She looked at Mattew. "Excuse me for interrupting but I really need to talk to him." She told him,pointing to Nick before turning her attention to her ex-boyfriend. "Can I talk to you for a minute,Nicholas?" She honestly wasn't asking,she was telling him but when Ana needed something when she was with Nick she said it quietly not wanting to compain. But,that girl was long gone and she was happy about that. She crossed her arms tightly around her chest for the secong Nick would have something smart to say or just to shoo her off.

(( Be back in a couple hours.))

Matthew figured that with a girl his age who didn't just know him but was pissed at him, Nick was in the same boat. He figured He'd try and get him out of it since they were both going to get cornered in a second if he didn't. "Well he was going to run and grab lunch with me. We're just waiting for a friend." He smiled at Analise, trying to cut a good first impression. Maybe if he did, she'd calm down. "We'll be back soon though. I'll send him your way when we're back though. Just write down your room number and I'll be sure to drop him by." He lied through his teeth.

Nick wasn't surprised to see Analise come to the reception desk only to find out that she was rooming with him. What he was a bit taken a back by was her straightforward angry tone. She was never this way when he knew her. She was always the shy pretty girl when they dated. Now her face held little trace to the girl she once was. "Can I talk to you for a minute, Nicholas?"

Matthew tried to save him. "Well he was going to run and grab lunch with me. We're just waiting for a friend. We'll be back soon though. I'll send him your way when we're back though. Just write down your room number and I'll be sure to drop him by." Nick looked up at him surprised. He wasn't used to others helping him out with his girl, or in this case ex-girl. Most of his friends just threw their hands in the air, turned the other way, and let him deal with his pretty relationship issues.

"Thanks, man. But, this won't take very long," he told Matthew trying to make his voice reassuring. "I'll be right back." He took Analise by the hand and pulled her towards the wall corner far enough so Matthew couldn't hear them talking and they wouldn't draw too much attention to themselves if they got a little loud. Letting go of her hand, he looked down at her small face. "Never heard you say that before, babe," he smirked. "What happened to the shy girl? I mean the red suits you," he was grinning like a fox. He had never seem Analise sound so angry, pissing, and demanding. "I thought you never wanted to speak to me again. Or does that change too?" He lifted his eyebrow, waiting for a responce.

Reiner

Five minutes to get settled and change. He made his way up the stairs, deciding against taking the elevators. 68.. He chuckled, slipping the card into the door. Reiner whistled slowly as it swung open. …Not bad. Spacious room, queen sized bed, glass doors that led out onto a balcony. He glanced back down at the pink paper. Cupid. Huh. Well, whoever you are, I suppose I should be thanking you. Now, if he could only find this mysterious "Cupid" person...

Reiner dropped his bags at the foot of the bed, smiling. The view from the room was terrific- out over the beach and across the water, where the hot sun was slowly sinking. That must be west.. Great. He could watch the sun set from his room. Reiner glanced down at his watch, it was only three which meant he’d have about four hours of good daylight left before the sun went down. Perfect.

He yanked off his shirt and stripped, pulling on board shorts, and rummaged through his bag. Where did I put the sunscreen…? Something clicked in the door. Then it did it again. Strange. He glanced behind him, but shrugged it off. Someone’s got the wrong room. The door’s lock clicked once more, and this time he heard it swing open. What? Someone has my room’s key? Reiner straightened and turned to confront whoever it was… Only to halt stiffly in his spot.

"Reiner"

That was all she said. Standing there. Staring at him.
Her face flashed through a thousand emotions in a few seconds.. It felt like the longest seconds of his life. Finally, the blue orbs settled on anger. He didn’t move, gaze locked on her eyes. Why did his name sound so empty when it fell from her lips..? I.. remember when you used to sigh it…. Reiner didn’t say anything for a few moments- still trying to process what was happening. She has my key.. The receptionist said my room had been reserved. I didn’t reserve a room. ..She had my key. Why the fuck does she have my key!? He glanced down to her hand, catching sight of the pink letter. That… Fucking pink letter. Anger twisted in his gut. His fist’s clenched. Cupid.. You. Sick. Bastard. You had better run, bitch..‘cause when I find your sorry ass... -I’m going to rip you apart. He had known this was too good to be true. Someone set him up. Whoever they were- playing “Cupid”- He was going to find them. Find them and make their miserable life hell.

Rain raised his eyes back up to her’s. Instantly, his fist’s relaxed. It was strange… The feelings churning in him. Why was he.. happy to see her? Longing.. Regret.. Regret? Really? Common Rain, how many girls have you gone through in your time? None of them- none- ever touched your heart. His brows knotted. This was too much. He couldn’t deal with it right now. I don’t-.. I can’t-.. Fuck. Finally, Reiner shifted. “Jess…” It had been so long since he had last seen her. Even longer before that when she used to call him Rain. He coughed, glancing away from her. Glancing away from those spellbinding eyes. I don’t want to feel this. ..Whatever this is. His voice was low, gravelly, the words coming with difficulty; “You.. Got the same letter.” He turned, bending to retrieve his, and flicked it up for her to see. “It’s a prank.” He said curtly, still not looking at her. Has to be… “I don’t know why.” He made his way towards her, trying to move past her. I need to get out of here. Away from her.. Away from the strange feelings. Why her? Why now? He looked down at her, hoping she’d move aside. If I leave, maybe she’ll be gone when I get back.

As Nick took her hand,she could swear she fel a very faint,very small tingle go through her body. She honestly for the frist time in years was speechless. When he pulled to the wall corner,she backed up alittle so she could look at him in the eyes,seeing he was seven inches taller than her. "Never heard you say that before, babe," She watched him smirk as he spoke,adding to the already mountain high amount of anger she had. "What happened to the shy girl? I mean the red suits you,I thought you never wanted to speak to me again. Or does that change too?" As he raised an eyebrow,she let out a shallow laugh and rolled her eyes. She looked down at her shoes before shaking her head and chuckling a bit. Same old Nick,All I have to say is you really haven't changed since you ripped my heart out and feed it to the dogs,have you? She put a long strand of her ruby red hair behind her periced ear. "That shy and quiet girl you knew is long gone and she's not coming back." She felt so strange,she never was this angry at anyone not even her parents. "And that thought of yours,about me never wanting to speak to you again. Is surprisingly right,I didn't want to speak to you ever again and I still rather slam my hand in a car door than be stuck with you for the next six months. But....It'll be a cold day in Hell before I let you get your way anymore." She couldn't even believe herself as she kept speaking with every hateful word. And out of now where she poked him in the chesy before speaking again,"And one last thing,Never in your life call me babe. I am not your babe nor will i ever again. Hell,at this point I don't even know if I was your only babe before."

She rolled her eyes and exhaled before just walking away before it got too out of hand. It wasn't just his fault,it was her too than the realationship didn't work. She walked out the front door and just sat down on a bench a little far from the hotel. She exhaled deeply and just kept hearing exactly what she told him in her head. For some reason she felt her heart give a tight squeze and for no reason. He deserved it,didn't he? Why do I feel this way?! Everything I told him was right,wasn't it?! I mean yea,it was maybe a bit harsh but what he put me through he had it coming. Wait,why do I even care what he thinks about me,he's Nicholas Choi he doesn't need any other girls to be completely nice to him. And i'll be dead before I apoligize to him."

Matthew walked up to Nick and whistled. "Damn. You got off easy. When Blair blows her top, you're going to have to peel my face off the walls with a spatula." He laughed and put his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll come around. Well around enough to not hate you anyways." He started thinking about if Rain would have this problem. Then he suddenly realized that he wasn't down in the lobby yet. "Hey any idea where Rain is? Taking him a long enough time to get down here."

Nick looked down at Analise, his smirk slowly fading as he saw the flaming anger in her eyes and her tone. He was used to the quiet Ana who let him do whatever he wanted just cause he was hers. He couldn't see that girl anymore. He was watching her fume and almost smiled when he poked him in the chest. It took a lot of strength for him not to make a comment. He left his mouth shut and nearly lunged for her hand as she turned to leave. He caught himself midway and let his eyes linger on her exit. Nick didn't even remember exactly what she was saying. He focused on the curve of her lips and the sparkle of fire and anger that danced in her brown eyes. It was definately different, but he was starting to like the new Analise. She was fierce, he found himself thinking. Still cute... Ah what was he thinking?

Matthew came over after Analise left. "Yeah, she's usually not like that," he laughed along with matthew. "I have no idea where Rain is. I'm starving though. I don't think he would mind if he went down to the beach without him." He started off towards the doors that Analise had walked out of and didn't bother to watch if Matthew was following. He wanted to see her again. Nick wanted to meet the new Analise, his new challenge.

"I'll be with you in a bit. Meet me at the hot dog stand by the docks and we'll figure where we're going from there." He wanted to leave a note for Rain and see if he could get his room situation worked out so he walked back to the front desk. "Yes can I help you?" The attendant said. Matthew quickly replied with, "Yes I need two things from you and that's about it. First, I'd like to leave a note for the man in room two ninety eight. Please let him know that Matthew and Nick are down at the hot dog stand near the docks." He sighed and caught his breath. "And second, I would like to request that I get a new room, preferably one without Miss Anderson in it." The attendant wrote down the note and looked back up at Matthew. "I'm sorry sir but very other room is booked full. This time of year is a very popular holiday and a massive number of people have rooms booked, even from the start of the year. However, if there is a room that opens up, I'll be sure to let you know." Matthew sighed and turned back to Blair. "Well we're stuck together for now."

Getting tired of waiting for the others,Ana gets up and streches her back. She always hated sitting still for too long but,surprisingly Nick didn't come out yet which she was kind of happy about. She didn't want to feel weak in her knees like always,yea he had that affect on her. Even at this moment just remembering how he used to look at her made her just want to find him and apoligize,but her newly develpoed hard head wasn't about to let that happen,she started to have a battle between what her heart wanted her to do and what her head was telling her to do. So,she chose her head. Her heart gave her nothing but pain for the last few years so why would she trust it now? Exactly she wouldn't.

"I'll say i'm sorry later." She grabs her bag and starts to walk down to the beach watching all the couples pass her,she couldn't help but feel envious. As she started to walk down the beach she sees Nick walk out the doors not far behind her,she looked at the cement keeping her head down and picking up the pace a bit. She sees a small store and heads inside before Nick cold see. Needing to pass time,she looked at the swimsuits,seeing that of course she forgot to bring one. She grabs a blue two piece and slips int the dressing room before trying it on. As she looked in the mirror,she tlted her head to the side thinking. Nothing in particular justthinking mostly how she was going to last six months sharing a room with Nick without wanting him back or just to kiss him one more time before forgetting about each other forever. The thought broke her heart just thinking about it,they were together for two and a half years and he just threw that away without giving her a reason why. Honestly that's all she wanted,a reason,closure so that she could at least ry and find someone else. She slips her clothes on over her swimsuit and clears her throat,putting her nimble fingers through her long,wavy,scarlet hair. She walked out the dressing room to the cashier buying the swimsuit and giving them a two dollar tip. She waled out and looked both ways seeing if she saw Nick,thank good she didn't. She walks down the beach and grabs a spot near the back just in case Nick tried to flirt some girl or something she wouldn't see.

She rolled her eye at her own stupidity,"How do I forget a beach blanket!" She asks herself before sitting on the warm sand and exhales.

Blair turned sharply on her heel as she stalked towards the lobby, her heavy suitcase being dragged behind her with some force, as she reached the lobby she spotted Analise and some guy off in the corner in what looked like a very heated conversation, she continued to watch them out of the corner of her eye as to make it not obvious. It wasn't long until she saw Ana walk off, her heart went out to the girl as she could see her heart breaking all over again, like hers and what she suspected Jess's as well. Making a mental note to go and find her after she had sorted out this room situation, grabbed Jess and dumped this suitcase.

Letting Matt try and sort this out first, Blair stood behind him, arms folded tightly across her chest "I'm sorry sir but very other room is booked full. This time of year is a very popular holiday and a massive number of people have rooms booked, even from the start of the year. However, if there is a room that opens up, I'll be sure to let you know." The receptionist said apologetically "Well we're stuck together for now" Matt turned to her and said, pushing past her ex Blair shook her head "Like hell we are" she stated approaching the desk.

"Hi, look you have got to do something, I can not share a room with this man" she spoke trying to remain calm as her eyes pleaded with the woman to re-check her computer "again I'm very sorry Ms Anderson but we are fully booked but like I said before if something becomes available you shall be the first to know" Okay Blair, breathe, just breathe. She mentally told herself trying to calm her nearly boiling temper. "Not even a closet he could stay in?" she asked in all seriousness.

The woman tried to stifle a laugh "I'm sorry Ms but it's against our policy to lodge our guests in closets" she replied humorously.

Rubbing her suddenly aching temple, Blair nodded "yeah of course it is, worth a shot though, thanks" she smiled weakly before walking away, quickly from the desk back down the coridoor, refusing to him see her cry, you have cried too many times already over him, no more Blair. Once she reached her room she lugged her suitcase onto the bed and opened it pulling out a new outfit before walking into the bathroom to change and re-touch up her hair and make up. This was going to be such a joy.

Matthew watched as she walked away until she was out of sight. He could tell she was upset because he was too. Maybe I could find a way to cheer her up. Order some room service or.... Wait. Was this compassion? She hated him! Enough of a reason for him not to do anything for her. Just get it out of your head Scarpa. She hates you, you hate her, you're stuck together for six months or until they find another room. He walked outside into the clean, ocean air with a smile, the thought of Blair barely in his mind still. Why is it there at all? He wondered. He walked across the sand down towards the dock where he assumed Nick would be. He couldn't get his mind off Blair. He'd known her for long enough, chances are that she would be back up in the room, trying her hardest not to cry while she was doing something else. That's when Matthew melted. He'd only seen her cry once before and he couldn't do anything to upset her, especially when she cried. Dammit Scarpa, she's done. He thought slapping his forehead. No reason to dwell on the past.

Jess

What was happening, why was he standing there, that source of pain which twitched at her heart as she looked at Reiners face almost as dumbstruck to see her as she was him. This must be a delusion, a stupid figment of her imagination, had she still not gotten over him? No, that was wrong, there was nothing left in her heart for him other than anger she was sure of that pushing back anything else that may try to stir inside her. His skin stood out in the room as the dimming sun shone behind him through glass doors which impressed her but she quickly turned the thought away and focused on reality, this was real, it wasn't a dream or her imagination. She recognised that tattoo on his arm, the soft brown hair cut shortly, his eyes always a faint glimer of transfiixtant brown, she had lost herself in those eyes once a long time ago, but she had to pull herself away now, she had to protect herself from this man and she had to find out what was going on.

She watched Rain's fist clench together as his thoughts processed what was happening just as she was, he clearly felt the same as she did with the action, wait why did she think of him as Rain she swore never to call him that again. The last time they saw each other she had gone alittle crazy and she knew it but she couldnt have stopped herself, he had hurt her so much. Scrunching her nose she tried to prevent a flash back from forming in her mind but it was difficult to block out the memory of Emily's confession to sleeping with him, her best friend, and his obvious part in intiating it, she tried to fight the image of her throwing things at him during the confrontation, of pot smashhing on the wall behind him as he dodged. Then she remembered the heavy snow globe she had thrown and the results of that..... slight guilt bunched up within her before she told herself he deserved anger taking its place as the words he had spoken slipped through her mind. He had attacked her insecurites, insulted her and even said something she wished never to remember but she could never foget it.

His eyes lifted back up to hers, she stiffened as they met for a second before she felt herself slowly beginning to scowl. She had never wanted to see Reiner again.
“Jess…” finally a sound echoed around them as he opened his voice breaking the silence quickly shifting his eyes from hers “You.. Got the same letter.” he spoke but it was oddly strange. He coughed and seemed to have difficulty getting his words out, but why should he, he had no reason to feel awkard he had been the one to hurt her not the otherway round. Its not like he had ever cared for her. Thinking that made something inside her clench but Jess quickly ignored it as a pink letter was flicked in front of her making her eyes widen slightly. So there was a reason behind this, she knew it was much of coincidence to be accidental. What sick joke was someone playing with them. “It’s a prank.- don’t know why.” He said curtly moving towards her still wearing nothing but swim shorts, thats when Jess began to panic a little.

He was getting closer, she didnt want to be near him, what was going on!

"Hold it!" she said firmly trying to get a grasp on the situation, she had to remain calm, "What are we going to do about this, its obvious we've both been assigned this room and if I recall there are no more rooms available." she stood silent for a moment her hand gripping the handle of her suitcase tightly as though transfering her anger and confusion from her words, she had to remain calm. Looking around she saw only one queen sized bed, there was no way she was sharing that with him, there was no way she was sharing a room with him. Taking a silent deep breath she kept her voice steady though she could feel her hand begin to shake, she wasn't ready to face Reiner yet...

"Lets talk about this rationally so we can avoid each other without arguments" she spoke as though it was a normal conversation, as though she had no care for what he wanted like she used too. She used to want to make him happy, to take into consideration what he liked and prefered pushing her own wants behind his. Not any more, she wasn't going to let him walk over her, no one was ever going to do that too her again. "I think its only fair I get the room and you find another place to stay, I refuse to share this room with you and I think we can agree you feel the same way. By reasoning I believe you should agree" she spoke completely different than before not giving room for his opinion though she fully expected him to argue with her on the matter, it was worth a shot though.

After what feel like an thirty minutes or so of laying on the beach Ana decides to see what's taking Jess and Blair so long,then she started to wonder if the same thing happened to them. She prayed it did so that she wasn't alone on this and so if she needed to vent her feelings she had two friends who knew exactly how she felt. She slipped her skinny jeans and green flowy shirt back on over her swimsuit before walking to the hotel letting the sand go through her feet. She prays to God that Nick isn't in her-his-I mean,their room so that if she wanted to she could go relax in the room with the peace and quiet. Before entering she stops thinking that it might be good to put her sandels back on,you know just a thought. She sits on the banch sliding her shoes back on and fastening the back of them. "I just don't get why I feel like this. Why do so much about him,I man yea he still a person and when worse comes to worse i'll be there for him but I still don't know why I want him back." She walks to the front desk not seeing Nick anywhere in sight,she exhales in relief.

She rung the small bell for someone to help her,at the ding sound she chuckles. She is eighteen after all,she should be able to act like a child. After a minute the receptionist comes at and shaked her head at Analise,probably wishing these complaining young adults would just suck it up and deal with it. "What can I do for you miss? And before you ask there are no more rooms and we may not put them in a closet." the recptionist tells her. Analise rose an eyebrow and cleared her throat. "Um,no. I was going to ask if I could just get a few more pillow and blankets for my boyfri-I mean my friend." Ana could feel her face getting redder and redder as the seconds went by. The receptionist smiled and called for a bellboy,a few moments later a small blonde boy came out with a thick blanket and two large pillows before smiling at her and walking to the elevator. "Wait real quick." She called after the bellboy,she looked at the receptioist. "May I have a piece of paper and a pen please?" The olde lady smiled and handed her a white piece of paper and a purple pen.

Nick,
You're welcome for the blanket and pillows. Just because i'm pissed at you doesn't mean I still don't care.
,Ana

She wrote the letter in cursive and signing her name a little bigger than anything else. She folded it on top and put it on the sodt,white pillow. The bellyboy scirried off on to the elevator. "Thank you." She said before heading out of the hotel to the side leaning on one of it's white walls blasting her music in her ears with both ear buds in.

((Last post of the might from me. By the way the cute little flashback was for fun. You can do it if you want but it doesn;t interfere with the story what so ever. Sorry it's so long, I get alot of inspiration for Rping at night for some strange reason. Weird.))

As Ana stood looking at the beach it started to remeind her of when she live in California and was in the middle of her relationship with Nick.


Flashback
A 15 year old Analise and a 17 year old were laying on the beach,big surprise they always could be found on the beach on a Friday night. They were holding hands,not even noticing everything else going on around them. She was focused on him and only him,she made her feel like she wasn't just that little girl who couldn't get anyone because she did. She had the best possible person for her and she knew it. She was laying on his shoulder,just watching the sunset,if there was anything she loved more than Nick it would be watching the sun say it's final good byes before disapearing. Analise always loved just laying there with her head on his shoulder,it made her feel so comfortable and safe,he was protective of her and at times maybe he did go a little far but she didn't care,to her it showed that maybe he actually did love and care for her. She remembered as she said softly,"It's so beautiful,isn't it? refering to the sunset before looking back up at Nick. What he did was always different,sometimes he shrugged and sometime it was like he was completely distracted by something not even answering her quickly but when he did speak,he said something that made her cheeks turn the cute color of rosy pink they always did,"Yea,it's ok I guess but I honestly don't look at it because all I have to do to see something beautiful is look at you." Looking down,Ana would just think how much she wanted to say that she loved him,but she never knew if he felt the same way or not. So,like always she just kept her mouth shut and smiled before lightly kissing him on the lip.

Quietly she couldn't take it anymore,so she whispered something she doesn't know if he heard or not. She whispered,"I think I may love you." quietly to herself,it was always barely a whisper before he said it to her then she started to say it out loud,letting the world know how she felt about 'her other half'. The last thing she remembered was him leaning down to kiss her,as their lips were about to meet-
End of Flashback

She shook her head,reminding herself that Nick was the bastard that broke up with her a day after he told her she was beautiful almost like everyday and then the next day it was over like he planned it or something."Ugh,what did I ever see in him?! Other than his looks he's a complete jerk! She kept telling herself,knowing as much as she told herself that she wouldn't believe it completely. She had no idea why that memory even came to her. She decided not to think about it. She just got up and walked to her room forgetting all about the 'Nick and her sharing a room' thing,She needed to rest not having a full seven hours of sleep in almost three months because of all the school work and all the paintings she gets payed to do. She walked to the elevator holding it seeing a few small kids and their familes come out,she loved childern and how innocent they were when it came to "love".She walked to to her room,seeing the blanket and pillows on the ground. She grabbed them before sliding the room key in and hearing the little beep She set them all on the small coffee table in front of the black flat screen tv. She decided to change,heading to the drawners she opened the wring one and saw Nick's headphones. She smirked and also rolled her eyes. He would put his headphones somewhere stupid."

She closed the drawner and opened the one next to it grabbing out a outfit and walked to the restroom.She closed the door behind her and slipped on her new outfit,leaving her swimsuit on under. Walking to the bed she layed her head down on the white pillow and just listened to the things going on around her from the ocewan crashing on the beach to the childern giggling and their parents telling them to keep it down. She could feel herself start to drift off as her hat felling in front of her face and her mouth opened slightly letting her be able to breath through her mouth. After a few seconds she was put of it,completely asleep,breath softly and slowly.

Nick wandered around getting annoyed that he couldn't find Analise anywhere. He walked up and down the beach line on the other side where Analise laid. If she was avoiding him, she was doing a great job. He cursed as he felt annoyance creep up on him. He started to stomp back to the hotel with a pissed on look on his face. Nick didn't even bother to glance at Matthew, he honestly forgot about him. He was focused on Analise. No matter what she said or what he had done, whenever he thought of her everything disappeared. He would blank out completely when watching her enjoy sunsets and the beautiful shoreline that he let melt into the background. When he looked at Analise, she could be certain that it was her and only her Nick was looking at.

Nick needed music to calm his nerves. He decided to take the stairs since the elevator was crowded by children. Little ones with annoying high pitched voices and an endless amount of questions. He jogged up the stairs giving him time to relive the past. After daydreaming about the tid bits of actual possible love he had with Analise he shook his head and paused in front of his room door. "You're over her. You've been over her," he breathed. "Fuck it," he cursed and shoved open the door. His face softened instantly when he saw Analise sleeping on the bed. He gently shut the door behind him. He ignored the pillows staring at Analise's calm figure on the bed. He walked over to the chair and angled it so he could gaze at her face from a distance. He couldn't stifle a chuckle as she breathed lightly from a slighly open mouth and her hat hiding her eyes. Nick wanted to go over to her and close his mouth over hers, but that would be more of a bastard thing to do then breaking her heart once. He would be teasing her. Again. "Why did I let you go?" he asked, no longer angry but regretful. He groaned at the ceiling. "Did you really love me? Do you still?" he knew his questions would be left unanswered and the answer he wanted would be impossible. "I might have..." he whispered and mentally slapped himself. He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees gazing at Analise with the same longing look of hunger that he wore when she kissed him.

Ana turns to her side facing away from Nick as she flutters her eyes opens. Her pupils go really tiny as the sun shines in her wide hazel eye. She lets out a soft and small yawn as she streches her hands above her head. As she streches her small arms they hit the headboard with so much force, she lets out a little yelp. She covers her mouth as she sees Nick right there. She rolls her eyes and rolls out of the bed. She fixes the blanket before she walks to the window. She looks out the window and just watches all the comotion going on just below them. She exhales and sees it sunset.

"Wow,it's even prettier than it was in Cali-" she saids before hearing she said it out loud. She finally looks at Nick and messes with her nails. "So, did you see the blankets? Well probubly because they're right there but anyway you're welcome and I think i'm going to go down to the beach." She saids as she puts on her black boots and grabs her bag. She walks to the door kind of quickly and stops right as her small palm touches the knob. "I'll see you later, Nick." She saids as she opens the door, looks at him and shows a very small smile. She closes the door behind her and looks at the celing. "I hope that gets easier for now on." She comments as she walks down the stairs because there was a lovey dovey couple kissing in the elevator. Which made her feel awkward.

She walks down to the beach and sits on a stone bench. She just looks at the pink and orange sky as the sun saids it's finally good-byes. She looks at her phone and looks at her contacts. She chuckles as she looks that she never deleted Nick's number or ringtone. She goes to edit to change the ringtone from You and I by Park Bom" to one of the generic ringtone. She also changes the relationship from "Boyfriend" to nothing. She puts her phone away and wonders why she never even changed that. "Man,it took me years to do that. Wow." She saids as she brings her knees to her chest. She taps her fingers on the bench and just watches to sun go down.

((Hey guys if you don't know what to do because your "ex" isn't on here are a few ideas:
1.Join my other Rp called the summer Runaways
2.do a cute little flashback. So we call all know what your relationship was like.
3.Oh, "Cupid" left a little message for all our characters.
4.Go read a book! XD JK, no one reads anymore. :P))

((I don't have school tomorrow since it's president's day so. I'll probubly on all day or most of the day anyways. So yea, don't Let this Rp die so young! Love Ya, BleedingLover.))

((I'll be working on my animation after 1 tomorrow so posts from phone only then if at all.))

Flashback: 3 years. Two hours after Matthew's graduation.

Matthew takes Blair's hand after walking out of a movie. "Hey Delilah, there's something I need to talk to you about." He took her over to the side and sat with her on a bench. "I got an email from officer Bustos last week. He said I had the potential to become an officer in the Coast Guard and wants me to take that opportunity," He sighed and paused before he continued. "Boot camp starts in a week and it lasts for two months. After that, I'm getting deployed for another six months." He could tell she was upset because her grip tightened on his hand. She knew what was coming. "This isn't going to work. Boot camp is in New Jersey and they want to deploy me to Boston harbor. I'm sorry." He watched silently as she stood up, slapped him and stormed off. He realized then he'd messed up, but it was too late. A week later he left for boot camp. His friends wrote him letters about her but it wasn't enough.

Fast forward one year.

Matthew had sent her letters every week, trying to make her stop hating him but with no reply. A crewman who had taken liberty with some friends that day came aboard the ship and approached Matthew. "Sir, one of the men running letters wanted me to bring you this Petty Officer Scarpa sir!" The boatswain handed Matthew a letter from Blair. He dismissed the boatswain then read the letter. In it, she explained that she had gotten over him and quite blatantly told him to just leave her alone, or better yet, die at sea. With this letter his reason for going back was crushed. He crumpled the letter and tossed it over the side of the boat as they set sail.

End Flashback

Blair put on her sunglasses as she walked out of the hotel, she desperately needed a drink, walking alongside the beach for a little while, she came to a stop watching the sun set, it was beautiful, truly amazing, it brought tears to her eyes, she blamed them on the sunset however they were ultimately down to Matt, the moment she saw him memories of that night came crashing through the wall she had put up to forget him. The same heartbreaking pain ripped through her chest, she could hardly breath, she hated feeling this way, it wasn't fair, she was a good person, why did god have to put her through this!

Wiping the tears away quickly, she began to walk again until she came across a bar, walking inside she took a seat at the bar and ordered a shot of tequila, hoping it would ease the pain. She drank it quickly she asked for another, yet deciding it would be better if he just left the bottle. After five more shots, she started to feel the affect take hold of her, yet a floodgate seemingly opened up in her mind as she thought about the past. That letter, was the most vivid, after god knows how many letter of apology of Matt, she finally decided to write one back, she wanted him to feel an inch of what she did when he called things offs, he said it wouldn't work, but if loved her even a fraction of how much she loved him, they would have made it work.

After waiting what seemed like forever for Reiner, Matthew decided to get a beer and come back. Walking into a bar near by, he sat down and relaxed. The cool air inside was great after the heat of the sand under his feet and the blast-furnace air outside. It wasn't really that hot but he always preferred cold over hot. Without even realizing that Blair was two or three seats down getting hammered, he got a Dos Equis dark and a frosted glass, he took a look around. That's when he saw her down there, the bottle of Tequila in front of her and the shot glass in her hand. "Hoo boy." He muttered. He poured his beer, paid and went down to Blair. "I'm going to have to carry you back to the room aren't I?" He said sitting next to her, the frosted glass, slowly unfogging in his hand.

"I'm going to have to carry you back to the room aren't I?"

Blair's eyes narrowed as she downed another shot, leaning forward on her elbow resting it on the bar, she placed her head in her hand, through blurred eyes she poured herself another shot, spilling the majority all over the desk "woops" she chuckled lightly, again downing the liquid, she was definitely going to pay for this tomorrow. Turning her head towards Matt she studied him or rather judged him, through her blue eyes, he hadn't changed much, maybe gotten a bit more broad from training in the coast guard, but still an ass in her opinion "So, what new with you?" she asked turning her attention back to the bottle.

He sighed. Even though she hated him, he hated seeing her like this. "You've had enough." He stole the bottle from her and slid it down the bar where she couldn't get at it. "I'll tell you what's new once you've sobered up a little." He polished off his beer and paid for Blair's drinks. "But you need to get back to the room and sleep some more." He reached for her arm to try to drape it over his shoulders.

"You've had enough."

Those words infuriated Blair, she closed her eyes for a brief moment, trying to regain her composure, count to ten Blair, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...oh fuck this "Excuse me?" she said through clenched teeth and a firmly set jaw, she couldn't remember a time when she had been this angry "how dare you talk to me like I'm a child, Mathew, do you have any idea how that makes me feel! It isn't bad enough that I actually have to lay eyes on you again after all the time it took me to try and move on. Yet you have the audacity to tell me when I've had enough!" the voice coming out of her shocked even herself for a moment, she had let go of her composure and her fiery nature began to shine through.

Blair pushed his arm off her "I can manage" she shouted before storming off out of the bar.

He got up and ran after her. "Blair!" He called trying to catch her. "God dammit." He muttered and ran after her. "Blair just listen to me for for two damn minutes will you? We're stuck here together anyways. What's it going to hurt by us talking huh? You hate me so what've you got to lose?"

Blair stopped in her tracks and let him catch up, a tear escaped and ran down her cheek, today had been just tool emotional "What do we really have to say to each other Matt?" she asked in a calmer "getting over you was the hardest thing I've ever had to do"her voice became shaky, she looked down as more tears escaped "So yes, even talking to you right now is tearing me apart inside, everything that I felt that night is rushing back to me. You don't know how hard it is to love someone and for them not to feel the same way" she smiled weakly.

"And how do you know that? Yeah I made a stupid decision okay? I get that. But the way I was heading, I would've flunked out of college in two years." For once his heard didn't melt when tears streamed down her face. Maybe it was a heart made of stone or maybe it was that he had grown up some. "Would you really have wanted a guy who had no fucking clue what he wanted to do in life? Because I sure as hell didn't want to be that guy!" He glared at her, not willing to give her any ground here. "But I didn't. I got on the right track for the second time in my life. The drills were what kept me strong but you were what kept me going. The drive to get back to you got me into an officer's jacket. The week after I got that fucking letter from you and it all went to waste!"

"All I know is that I loved you enough to want to try and make it work" she stated turning on her heel to walk off, this guy was an ass and she was damned if she was gonna let him see her tears anymore. Blair didn't want to go back to the room, hell she didn't want to see him again for a while, stopping at one of the stairs down to the beach, Blair slipped off her heels and walked down, the sand felt great between her toes, sitting down she watched as the last reminence of the days sun vanished behind the horizon, she then lay back and closed her eyes as she listened to the sound of the waves crashing, she wanted to get him off her mind and sleep would certainly do that for a few hours.

"God damn. Stubborn as ever." He muttered. He stomped and then walked off in the other direction, towards the hotel. For the longest time he sat in the lobby, thinking only one thing. "I left so you would be proud. When I came back I was going to try and make it work. Hell by then I'd probably have proposed. But I couldn't be the guy who couldn't support his girlfriend because he had no clue what he was doing." For the longest time, he sat motionless. It started getting dark, so he headed back outside, onto the low concrete wall where the road met the sand. "Even when I'm an officer of a hundred men and one of the largest cutters we've got, I can't fix the problems I have with one fucking person."

Ana sees Blair walk down to the beach and decides to see if she's ok. She walks over as sits in the sand next to her. "Hi,Blair. Everything going ok for you so far? " She asks probubly already knowing that answer was going to the hell no but see asks anyways. "For me, I think it's safe to say Love and this so called Cupid suck. Same for you?" She saids as she pulls her knees to her chest. She moves her boots around in the sand happy that she didn;t wear her sandals. She looks at Blair and sighs "This trip sucks already and it hasn't even been a day." She comments as she cracks her neck and looks up at where she thinks her room is at hoping that she could go back soon without Nick being in there. I feel like I should be on Dr.Phil right now. But thats what friends are for venting you feelings.

As Analise waited for Blair to answer she looks at sky which made start thinking about why Nick ever broke up with her in the frist place.

Flashback about 2 years or 3 years ago
She couldn't hear anything,all she could see were the movements and emotions they made. As Nick sat her down,he grabbed her small hand and just smiled at her like nothing was wrong. Yet,he looked like something was wrong,like he felt sick to his stomach. She wasn't positive but there was something different about him. She smiled at him anyway before moving closer to him,to sit on his lap like she always did. But,he moved away and lost the faint smile he had on his face. Ana lost her smile now knowing something was wrong,he was never like this to her before. Most of the time he was the one who pulled her to his lap not her having to move herself but she didn't think muxh of it,at the end of the day she still was with him. She watched him exhale before speaking,she quickly lost her everlasting smile she had whenever she was with him. At frist she thought it was a joke,a sick sick joke but then again Nick didn't really joke about breaking up with her or anything. After he told her that she just tried to convince him to not leave her saying she would be a better girlfriend,that she always be there for him even through she was most of the time.
then he said the one thing she never thought she would hear,Look Analise,I just don't think we're good together anymore. I'm sorry.

At that point she was at the brink of tears but something in her changed and the new part of her wasn't going to let Nicholas Choi,the one guy she honestly was completely head over heels for see her crying again after what he just did. She just watched him walk away before grabbing his wrist and stopping him. She was going to speak but couldn't all she did was look at him and then her the ring she had on her finger. She slipped it off her left ring finger and into Nick's hand,it meant nothing to her anymore. She closed his hand and didn't even look at him as she talked,[i]"I-I,um,I wish you the best Nicholas. Um,here give this ring to the lucky girl who gets to love you. I......I wish you nothing but the best possible life. Bye. She saw him nod slightly and say something to her but at this point she wasn't listening to him,she let go of his hand and just watched as he walked away from her with her heart and trust for anyone else. Once she saw his motorcycle pull away she just pulled her legs to her chest and just started to balling her eyes out hoping that one day she would be perfect enough for Nick to want her back,he wanted nothing but the best and that's exactly what he deserved. And that wasn't what Ana could be. The last thing she said before changing herself was."Nick,please don't leave me. Please. But,she knew it was too late,she would be moving back soon anyways and long distance realtionships never work out,but she sure of hell was willing to try but now she didn't have to. As the weeks went on she began to change and fall for something else,Art.[/i]

She just exhaled and felt the urge just to go up to her room and ask him why. Why wasn't she perfect enough for him and why he left her after two years of being together,it couldn't be because of college because she already had a plan to graduate a year early and to go to the same college as Nick. And if it wasn't that what was it? "What could I have possible done? How can someone go from saying that you're beautiful and that they love you one night and then the next morning just leave you?" She needed to know this,she knew Nick would never want her back but as long as he was in her life and didn't absolutly hate her,that was completely fine with her.As she started to think she started to remember of the not so good memories of them,like when Nick was a bit over protective of her around his guy friends mainly. Then she started to wonder,was it really worth it having someone like that in her life? Now,she wasn't so sure.

"Hi,Blair. Everything going ok for you so far? " Blair's eyes opened to see Analise sat next to her, she let out a little groan and put her hand to her head "I think my hangovers starting" she moaned as a headache formed "For me, I think it's safe to say Love and this so called Cupid suck. Same for you?" To Blair that was a major understatement "More like Love and Cupid is a complete fucking bitch!" she retorted offering a Ana a small smirk "I'll be fine, I just think I'm still in shock, what about you? How are you dealing?" she asked sitting up.

"It's....... complicated..I guess. I mean I hate him for hurting me but I still care for him a little. Seeing him again just broke my heart." She saids as she scraches her head hoping that made at least a little sence. "Ugh why does this trip have to be so mind-boggling?" She slumped down hiding her face in her knees. This is insane. Maybe I should get on the next boat out of here.She thinks a she lifts her head up and looks at Blair. "By the which one of those other guys are your, you know ex? Because I saw two with Nick." She asked with a questioning look on her face. She started to think of ways to discribe Nick,she never could. It was too diffcult,h had so much anazing stuff about him that she just couldn't explain in words but she tried. Beautiful eyes,a face that looked like it was carved by the heavens,and a personality that may have scared a few people but I liked it. He made me feel safe,protective even if he was just a little oppersing at times. She knew it was true but everything else about him was just too much for words to explain,she started to wonder? Did she have the same affect on him? Probably not through,she wasn't the prettiest girl she knew or had the bes personality but Nick liked it so she didn't really care what anyone else thought.

"I know how you feel" Blair sighed "I blocked out everything that he did, put up a wall to stop myself from feeling that way again" she admitted. Looking out to the moonlit ocean she couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face, she had always loved the ocean, the beach was her favourite place to go with Matt, going skinny dipping in the moonlight, god, that seemed like a lifetime ago now. "By the which one of those other guys are your, you know ex? Because I saw to with Nick." Ana asked "Matthew Scarpa" she told her with a small smiled "Handsome guy, blue eyes, brown hair, around 5'11"

"Exactly, I try to hind myself from him and then all of a sudden bam after almost three years here he is again." She saids as she looks up to the sky. "Handsome guy, blue eyes, brown hair, around 5'11" Blair said with a smile "Aw he sounds adorable." She saids in a joking voice with a smile on her face knowing she should try to lighten the mood. "I can barely be in the same room for six minutes, how will we last six months?" She adds knowing Blair was probubly think the same thing in her mind. She looks at the ocean wondering if he should go for a night swim or if she should swim to the next cloeset island.

"Oh he's the greatest" Blair said sarcastically letting out a laugh, finally deciding that she would stop wallowing in her emotions, she jumped up "so what are we going to do? The night is young and I'm already a little bit drunk I say we go find ourselves a couple of good looking guys and have a good night!" she stated with a smile, to Blair that idea sounded amazing, she needed to get over seeing Matt and if that meant getting under someone else then so be it.

"Sure, I need just a few more hours away from any guy I,you,and jess know." She saids getting and grabbing her bag off the ground. "So, if you don't mind me asking how old are you?" She asks as gets the sand off the bottom of her shorts. She cracks her fingers and looks at Bair "Where do you wanna go and it can't be a bar. I'm only 18." She saids as she smiles.

She syarted to thin about moving on,she just couldn't do it. If she had to spend the next few months getting over Nick fine,but she wasn't about to flirt with another guy when the best person for her could be waiting right in front of her. She looked at Blair and cleared her throat. "On second though,I think i'm going to take a rain check. I mean Nick's probably going out to meet other girls and I don't want to bump into him. Besides I think I just need to take it easy and figure all this crap out." She messed with her fingers as she did so,she wasn't good at making excuses. She looked up at where she could swear her room was,just feeling like she could see Nick from all the ay up there. She looked at Blair and waved before heading back to the hotel. She was too young anyway,she had too much in her life for a guy. At least that's what she kept telling herself over and over again.

Walking in the elevator shes a few couples arguing and decides it's best.....for everyone for her to take to stairs. She quickly tip toed u the stairs to her floor. Getting to her room door,she got her room key out and just as sh was about to slide it she couldn't.She sighed and sat down on the floor,trying to think of what to do. There was no way she could last six months in the same room with Nick without feeling her heart being crushed every morning and every night. She messed with the ends of her red hair,a habit of her's and just started to think. She looked at phone seeing if she had enough bars to see when the next boat off the island was. Of course of all times,her phone just died."Great." She saids under her breath before hitting the wall. She felt a sharp pain in the back over her head and started to wimper a bit,but she held it in. She hated seeming weak especially if Nick could walk down that hall at any minute. She bit her tonuage and just held the pain in wishing she could just cry about it,but she hated to cry. It made her think of how much she cried over Nick,which was a lot.....a lot a lot.

Nick stayed in the room staring out the window, blocking his entire existence and thought about the last time he saw Analise. The day before that his cousin, Jonathan, had asked why he liked Ana. Why he smiled whenever she came into a conversation or why he didn't bother to explain to his parents where he had gone off to when he spent the night with Analise. Nick didn't have an answer. All he could muster up, with his extensive college vocabulary was, "Cause, Analise is..." he never finished the sentence. There were never words for what she made him feel. Jonathan's taunting voice crept into is head again, just like the day that he broke the news to Analise. "You're never going to be good enough to her. She will follow you like a dog, just like your pathetic mother."

Nick heard the loud whimper and jumped up to the door swinging it open. "Analise, what the hell are you doing?" Without thinking he slid his arms around her thin waist and lifted her up, carrying her to the bed. He dropped her gently with the same mind set he held when they were in the middle of their relationship. He shut the door and let his eyes follow around her body. "Are you alright? You sounded hurt," his eyes were piercing, yet kind. He had forgotten their current situation. Analise made him forget like that.

Analise held the backof her head as she started to feel a sharp pain. She bit her lip to stop from crying and making a scene. She had no idea where Nick was and honestly she didn't give a damn,but for all she knew he could walking down the hall any minute now. She was about to get up just as Nick swung open the door. She was about to just roll her eyes and think of na smart ass comment but before she had a chance,she was in his arms. She was so confused and infuriated. She hated being treated like a child,she was of legal age now meaning she could take perect care of herself."Nick put me down right now. But he didn't listen,it was like he was blocking her out,which just added on to her anger. He finally set her down softly on the plush bed. Once he closed the door and walked closer to her,she started getting a bit nervous about what he would say. She was afraid he would ask why she siting down in the hallway in the frist place but instead he said something that completely surprised her,Are you alright? You sounded hurt."

She kept her head down,looking at her black boots as she shrugged her shoulders. She knew he hated that,he was the type of person who like a straight answer not a shoulder shug or an 'I don't know'. She swallowed the lump in her throat before answering him. "Yea,i'm fine. I just wasn't expecting it,you know?" She kept her head down. A few seconds she couldn't do it anymore,he kept acting like he cared for her and it took her a while to find out,it was just a game. A game he played with millions of girls and will play it with a million more after and during this vacation. She looked in his pericing eyes,feeling her eyes get even wider.

"Look,why do you even care? I mean yea,i'm a person and we all known how much you like to help people but there's no need to baby me. I'm eighteen years old now,aka old enough to care for myself. But of course you never did care about me and that's the part that keeps thowing me off. So why do you care about me all of a sudden?" She couldn't be in the same room as him right now,she just needed to get away from him and everything that did with Nick.

She got up still a bit wozzy and walked to mirror. She couldn't look him directly in the eyes,she knew he would see something that she hated letting anyone see. And that was saddness,fear,and weakness,a few thing she knew Nick could use against her.

"Well damn" Blair stated as she watched Ana walk back towards the hotel, once she was out of sight, she picked up her belongings, and walked back up to the boardwalk, once off the sand she wiped the sand from her feet and put her heels back on. It looked great, the place was lit up and lively, deciding not to go back to a bar, she opted to get a cone of fries and a coke and sit down on a bench looking over the water.

Blair wasn't sat alone for long, when a man barely able to walk stumbled over and sat down next to her "Hey there darlin" he slurred instantly telling Blair that he was drunk, no, slaughtered, she raised an eyebrow and looked at her through the corner of her eye "Hello" she replied back cautiously "I think your friends are waiting over there for you" she pointed out trying to get him to leave.

He looked towards them quickly before turning back grinning at her "they'll be fine" he slurred "I'm Jared. And you are?" he asked moving closer towards her which caused her to slide further away from him "I'm afraid I don't give out my name to strangers" she replied sarcastically "Aw come on baby" he smirked wrapping his arm around her "please get your arm off me, now!"

Instead of doing so he lent in to kiss her "Get off me!" she shouted trying to push him away.

Matthew's ears perked up when he heard yelling down the beach. From his vantage point all he could see was two people, one of them obviously upset with the situation. When he heard "Get off me!" he jumped up and ran down the beach, recognizing Blair's voice. He came to the scene to see a wasted man trying to make a move on her. He grabbed the back of his shirt and tossed the man to the ground. "Keep your alcoholic hand off her you stupid steer." He said. He sounded calm but whenever he got mad, his Texan accent showed up and this time, even he could barely understand what he was saying through the southern drawl.

Nick was going to scoff and say something that would throw Ana into another fit about how much of a jerk he was, but he bit his tongue. He made a fist and let her wobbly stand up. He watched the back of her head and let out a loud sigh. "I'm asking myself the same question. Why do I still care about you? I can't find an answer." He walked back to the chair where he had sat and watched her taking her short nap. He leaned back and rubbed his wrist. "You know I hate seeing you hurt. And in my mind, I don't care if your fifty-three, I'm still going to worry about you. I'm still going to treat you like a baby. Cause, that's just me." He looked up at her face with her red hair covering her eyes.

"But you don't care about me, do you? I don't blame ya," he smiled drily, "I'm that bastard who ruined you. You don't want me. You don't deserved my ass. And I'd be dreaming the impossible if I deserved anything like you," he stood up and started to walk to the door. With his hand on the door knob, he whispered, "The crazy thing is, I still want you," he scoffed, "But maybe that's just Cupid talking," he twisted his hand on the knob and opened the door, shutting it behind him. He walked slowly down the hall wishing Analise would run after him like she should have the day he made the biggest mistake of his life. Well, he shouldn't blame her. It was his fault anyways.

"Fuck my love life," he whispered rounding a corner towards the elevator.

"Keep your hands off her you alcoholic hand off her you stupid steer."

Blair felt instant relief hearing Matt's voice and the guy quickly let go as Matt sent him flying to the floor, grabbing her bag she quickly got up of the bench, grabbing his arm and hid behind him. Resting her head on the back of Matt's shoulder she let out a shaky breath "Thank you" she whispered only loud enough for him to hear. Blair was quite shaken up right now, nothing had ever happened to her like that before, she was just glad that Matt had been there to stop him.

Once Nick started talking,Ana looked away from the mirror and looked him in the eyes. Both of theirs were the same,empty yet still filled with anger and frusteration."You know I hate seeing you hurt." She rolled her eyes quietly said under her breath."Oh here we go.". And in my mind, I don't care if your fifty-three, I'm still going to worry about you. I'm still going to treat you like a baby. Cause, that's just me.". She just kept looking at him and didn't believe a word that came out of his mouth. But,once he said that she didn't care for him,it all went downhill from there and it went down quickly,"I'm that bastard who ruined you. You don't want me. You don't deserved my ass. And I'd be dreaming the impossible if I deserved anything like you,"

Hearing this Ana could feel the tears wanting to burst out. Is this really what he thought or was he talking out of anger. As she thought about she started to think. It has to be the frist one,he has nothing to be angry about,he may say he still cares about me but if that was true why would he break my heart? Just as everything started to become blurry and she just wanted to burst out crying,Nick said something that took the breath out of her

"The crazy thing is, I still want you." After that she didn't want to hear anything else,she didn't need to. Nick may have been a lot of things but when he said something he meant it,at least to her. As he left very part of her just wanted to run after him,but for some reason her feet wouldn't move.

Letting a few tears go down her small face,she can't do it anymore. She needed to get Nick back in her life,that was all that was on her mind at the moment and she wasn't the type of girl to give something up without a fight. She rans out the door just as Nick was entering the elevator. She ran as fast as she could and just as the doors were about to close,she pushed the button and they reopened. Getting in she looked at Nick with her big eyes,even bigger than usual.She always hated her eyes but she couldn't do qanything about them.

She exhaled and pushed the emergancy stop button. "Look,Nick. We are not done talking about this and I'm not starting this elevator until we do." She went in front of the buttons just in case Nick tried to get pass her and start the elevtor.




"Wha-I. How,how could you think I don't care about you? Nick,you could be the biggest bastard in my life and I still care about you because you're someone in my life tha-that I do want to be in my life," She looks at her feet not wanting to see Nick's emotion on his face for all she knew he could be pissed,digusted,or not having any emotion at all like when he had his amazing smile on,she could never tell what he was thinking. She exhaleed trying to stop from daydreaming again. "And you didn't ruin me,I mean yea i'm different bu-but I um,I'm better than I was before. That girl you knew wasn't me,well it was but that's not the girl I wanted to be." She could feel her legs become like Jello,she had to hurry before they collapsed under her.

"Do,you really think I wanted to be like my mom? Being stay at home mom who never complained and always did what she was told. You should know because your mother is just like mine and we both know deep down we hated how our father treated our moms. So,when you said that you ruined me,no you didn't. If anything you saved me and I should be thanking you. S-so that's what i'm doing. Thank you Nicholas Choi for helping me find myself. And one more thing,you're right I don't deserve you,so i'm just going to get my stuff and go because I-I just can't do this for the next six months." She swallowed the lump in her throat as she let the elevator go to the next floor. She exhaled and made a run for it closing it behind her not wanting Nick to run after her.

She rans down the hall and just fell to the floor letting all her tears come out,she could feel herself shaking from fear,she never felt more terrified in her life of doing something that should have been happy. But as she cried she couldn't help but be happy and terrified at the exact same time just like the time Nick kissed her for the first time.She never seen herself angry and happy at the same time as well. She got up and breathed in and out before heads back to their room. She opened the door and just sats on the bed where she and Nick just were minutes before.

She imagined Nick right there looking at her with his beautiful caring eyes. She exhales and just smiles now knowing that she still wants to be with him but doesn't know if she just lost her chance of having him back,but hoped that he felt the same way,she now noticed that she never fell out of love with him. She just hid it up and lied to herself so she culd try and move on but that never happened and she was actually glad she didn't because Nick was the frist love of her life and always will be and that wouldn't change.

He took her hand, his expression harder than stone. "Are you all right?" He asked. He kept his eyes on the drunkard, waiting to see what he'd do. He really did care about Blair but he knew better than to let any hammered person out of his sight when they were fighting.

Blair nodded "y-yeah, can you just take me back?" she asked meekly, forgetting about their previous fight, completely, she felt relieved when he took her hand, but noticed that his eyes were still on the drunk man on the ground "sorry didn't know she was your bitch" he sneered and Blair tensed up at the insult, her eyes narrowing.

Matthew dug his heel into the man's arm, between the bones. "Take it back or I swear to god i'll crush your bones right here." He twisted his foot and felt a small pop. "If you don't think I will, try me. I've done worse."

Blair was stunned by Matt's reaction "Matt please just leave it, he's not worth it" she pleaded with him, trying to drag him away, she had never seen this side of him before and didn't quite know how to react, the man held his hands up in defeat "All right, i'm sorry!" he said quickly not wanting to lose mobility in his arm "Mathew, he's apologised, please just let it go!" She begged placing her hand onto his cheek and looked into his eyes whilst her blue ones pleaded with his.

"Fine." He lifted his heel off the man's shoulder and picked him up roughly. "But if I ever hear you saying anything but praise to this woman again, you'll be in a world of hurt." He pushed him back towards the bar then turned and started walking to the hotel. He stopped, waiting for Blair. "Coming or are you just going to stand in the sand all night?"

"Coming or are you just going to stand in the sand all night?"

Blair nodded and hurried over to him, they walked in silence for a little while until Blair was able to find her voice, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she turned her head to look at Matt "Thank you" she said simply "I really appreciate what you just did" she smiled.

"It's fine." His face was stern but not angry. His accent was gone and his shoulders weren't tensed up anymore either. "Just doing what should have been done." He fell behind a bit before stopping and looking up at the hotel. "But believe it or not, I really do still care about you, even if you still hate me."

"But believe it or not, I really do still care about you, even if you still hate me."

Blair stopped when she heard those words, turning to face him she let out a small sigh "I don't hate you, I could never hate you Matty" she spoke sincerely "God knows I wanted to" she let out a small chuckle followed by a smile "yet, no matter how hard I tried hate was never the emotion I felt when I thought about you. Truth be know I blamed myself repeatedly, I thought I could have been a better girlfriend. But when your letter came, the hurt made my pride and stubbornness came out and you know better than anybody how they have screwed me over in the past" she smirked trying to get even a little smile out of him.

"I wouldn't blame you." His expression softened to one tinted with sadness. " I was an ass that day. I just left you hanging even though I wanted it to work. I just didn't know if I could give you the time you needed from me. And it showed. I didn't see you for three years, stuck in Boston. All I could do was write to you and even that backfired on me." He wrapped his arms around her quickly. "They needed me, that much was sure. But for the longest time I thought that justified what I'd done. It didn't. I'm so sorry Blair. I don't expect you to forgive me right away if you do at all. I just wanted to let you know."

Nick froze as Ana started to rapidly fire explanations. He couldn't do anything except let her talk it out. Not that he could speak. Shock had overwhelmed him as he stood still as a statue, absorbing all of what Analise had to say. He couldn't believe what she was telling him, yet those were the exact words he wanted to hear. She understood his reasoning. He had helped her become a stronger person, yet she was crying as she ran out to leave him in the elevator. Before he could chase her, she closed the elevator on him. He could almost feel his heart being crushed at the door's ding as it closed. He wanted to beat himself over the head. By now, his breathing was heavy. As soon as the elevators stopped at the next floor, he bolted for the stairs and ran faster then he ever did at any of his track mets. He charged down the hall and opened the door to their shared bedroom.

Adrenaline was rushing through his veins and his pulse was running double time. He couldn't even get a word out as he faced Analise with one hand on the doorknob of the open door and the other on his heaving chest. The sudden speed and movement almost shocked his trained body. He managed to shut the door behind him and lean on the wall, trying to get his breathing under control. He tries to walk towards her, but instead wobbles. He stands tall and faces her with sad, pleading eyes. "I-," he couldn't speak. "I loved you. And I wanted you. No matter what you say, I'm horrible for saying that. I am not messing with your heart. And I didn't mean to rip it out of you or shatter it," he took a breath and steady his feet. "Let me fall in love with you again. Cause Analise back then, wasn't the Analise I wanted. I wanted you to be strong so I wouldn't have to worry all day about you. Every second I wasn't with you, I was crazy. I thought about you and the worse possible things that could happen. It drove me nuts," he put his hands around his face and let them drop to his sides. "I wanted a woman who wasn't my mother. I watched her cry herself to sleep. She had no freedom, Ana. None. That was exactly what I imagined you if you stayed the way you were with me. I couldn't bare to have that."

Nick closed his eyes and tried to bring reality back. San Valentine was making him dream again. "I-," he froze again. "Let me make it up to you. Let me fix it. Let me fall in love with you. I know I'm asking for the impossible, but this is Nick talking. I am asking you, for a second chance," he had his hand out to her slightly, pleading. Never in his entire life had he begged for and wanted something so bad. One day. Just one day and I'm bumbling like a fool. Either I am terrible at this or Analise is just that good.

Onve getting back to their room,Ana opened the door and grabbed her suitcase. She couldn't do it anymore,she couldn't take seeing the one guy who made her feel so.....different,but in a good way. He made her feel like she was walking on ari,like she didn't have a single imperfection about her. But,not being able to call him as hers,she couldn't be around him. He deserved happiness and as long as she was here that couldn't happen,she was in his way,like always. Maybe that's why he broke up with her,she was a distraction. She knew how much college meant to him and maybe she was just getting in the way of that. All these thoughts started to go through her head as she started to pack along with memories of them just being together,not doing a thing just being happy for being together. She smiled at the thought,she choked down the lump in her throat as she pulled a necklace out of her bag and looked at the picture inside. It was one of her kissing Nick with her hand placed softly on his cheek. One of her favorite,they both looked so happy but now looking back at it just brought pain od the realationship she would give anything to have back.

She heard the door open and before she couldn't speak. She watched him put his hand on his chest before leaning on the wall,she never saw him like this. She was about to help him but he was already walking towards her,she didn't know what to think. She looked at him and saw something in her eyes that she rarely ever saw,sadness,like he lost something he couldn't live without. Yet,he hasn't lost anything as much as she knew. As he started to talk and small smile appeared on her face as she gasve her something she has wanted for years,a explaination. I loved you. And I wanted you. No matter what you say, I'm horrible for saying that. I am not messing with your heart. And I didn't mean to rip it out of you or shatter it," She couldn't believe it he actually did love her,maybe not as much as she loved him but still he really loved her. "Let me fall in love with you again. Cause Analise back then, wasn't the Analise I wanted. I wanted you to be strong so I wouldn't have to worry all day about you. Every second I wasn't with you, I was crazy. I thought about you and the worse possible things that could happen. It drove me nuts," She couldn't breath after that,did he just say what she thought he said or was she finally going insane.

"Let me make it up to you. Let me fix it. Let me fall in love with you. I know I'm asking for the impossible, but this is Nick talking. I am asking you, for a second chance," She wasn't crazy,he said it again. She started to feel the tears come down her cheeks as she just stood there. She chuckled and looked at him praying that he wasn't messing with her. "You loved me? You really did love me?" Is all she could say before seeing him have his hand out to her slightly. She smiled and just ran up,hugging him. She smiled and grabbed on to his shirt before burying her head in his chest for a moment. She nodded and smiled up at him. "Ok,ok Nick,i'll give you a second chance. I don't know why in Hell you would want to be in love with me of all people but if you're willing to make that mistake then i'm up for it." She let go of him,not wanting to seem like a child she was at the second. She pulled away but their feet were still touching,she cleared her throat before speaking again. "Wh-What changed your mind about me or what changed your mind about wanting me back?

"Well I won't deny that you were an ass" Blair chuckled lightly, his words really did touch her, she had been angry for a long time, yet maybe if she had just read those letters, she could have forgiven him a long time ago, she had to admit, it felt good to be back in Matt's strong arms again, she remembered three years ago it had made her feel so safe and that feeling was beginning to come back, placing her arms on his biceps she gently broke the hug to look at him with a small smile "You know I've never admitted this to anyone but I am proud of you, what you've achieved is something to be mighty proud of" she spoke tenderly "And sometimes, people are just destined for greater things, like you. Hell, if you had of stayed we'd probably still be together yet you never would have gone to the coast guard and you would have probably ended up resenting me for keeping you in that dusty little town we grew up in." She paused for a moment "I guess what I'm trying to say is, your destined for greater things than me and Matty although I don't agree with how you did it, I'm somewhat happy that you broke things off so you could reach your goals."

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I don't know, and honestly, I don't care." He answered. Then he did something so unprecedented, even he didn't expect it. He kissed her. It was quick but painfully obvious. When he pulled back, he had a bashful smile on his face. "Just being able to talk to you, now I know. All I want is a second chance to make things right with you. Whatever it takes, I'm willing to do it." He sat there, the stupid grinning expression, waiting for the sting of her slapping his face.

The kiss was sweet to Blair, just liked she remembered yet it confused her "y-you want me back?" she asked unsure whether she was on the same page as him or not, he sure as hell sounded sincere but how could she be sure? She had spent an awful lot of time trying to get over him yet here he was saying he wanted a second chance with her "I don't understand why you want too?" she said honestly.

He nodded. "For the longest time, anything I did just seemed to have no real value. All I could think was that there was something missing. And every time I thought that, my thoughts always came back to you." He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Stupid I know. It's the truth though. I guess I just missing sharing the things I did with you." He shrugged. "The way I see it, life's not worth living to the fullest if you don't have someone special to share it with."

"Stupid I know. It's the truth though. I guess I just missing sharing the things I did with you." He shrugged. "The way I see it, life's not worth living to the fullest if you don't have someone special to share it with."

Blair searched his eyes for some truth to what he was saying, yet there was no need for she knew he was telling the truth, a smile graced her lips and she blushed slightly, looking to the ground, was she really gonna let him off this easy? "Well if you honestly and whole heartily mean that, maybe we can try us again" she said "All I ever wanted was for us to have a life together Matt but If we do decide to do this it's like we've just met, I will forget all that's in the past but we take things slow."

"If that's what it takes then that's what I'll do." He smiled and took her hand. "You know me though. I'm not one to give up easy." He spun her around. "If you think you can put up with me, then by all means, let's start right here, right now."

Nick held Analise tightly. He couldn't believe she was in his arms again. It was like the heavens opened up and said, "Nick, I forgive you of your sins. Welcome to paradise. Here is your angel."

Nick just smiled at Analise. "I never changed my mind. I was just confused. Everywhere I turned I saw you and yet you were never there to begin with. Every time I saw a little fire in your eyes and it vanished like nothing, I died a little inside," he touched her cheeks, damp with drying tears. "Nick was lost for three years. I'm back now. And we're back now," he chuckled a little letting himself bask in the moment. It felt like plates inside his body shifted and moved into the right places and what happened before didn't matter. What counted was the now.

"This relationship is not going to be easy. But I'm willing to work for it," he wiped her other cheek free of tears, "even if you're not."

She could understand his reasoning,why he did what he did. He didn't want to be the one that made her cry herself to sleep,he hated seeing her be the way she was. She hated it too,she always had a small spark in her eyes as she either sung,drew,or painted. But once,she was with someone,anyone she would let that fire just die down,knowing that it didn't make a difference,at the end of the day she till end up like her mother. A stay at home mom who just cooked,cleaned,and watched the kids. As he began to wipe away her tears,she smiled. He always knew just what to say to make her feel better,weather he meant to or not.

A lot of her,just wanted her to kiss him,right then and there. But,it was too soon,she may have said she would give him a second chance but that doesn't mean she would forget about the past. It happened and that wasn't going to change anytime soon. She honestly didn't know what to say,she was speechless. In just one day she got back Nick,the person she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. As she started to hink about that it made her chuckle and made her wonder. If we were together for the past three years that mean we be together five long years. I just wonder,if he would have proposed or not. Probably not,seeing that we're so young,but hell my parents got married right after high school but then again where that lead them? Her stomach start to growl,her face turned red before she walked to the small desk to look at the menu.

She looked of the choices but could still feel someone looking at her,she looked up and smiled at Nick,showing off her white teeth. She never did that often,only around close friends would she give a real smile. "Will you stop staring at me and come here?" She smirked,and laughed a little. "and about it being a challenge,since when I like something to come out on a silver platter? I mean I took a juinor class as a freshmen,remember?" She rasied an eyebrow,as she remembered that was the one class they had together. Yea,it was hard to balence it all seeing that they had school work,work work,and since they both were in a sport that took a lot of time but somehow they made it worked. It probably help that they were conjoined at the hip most of the time,well at least to her she hated being apart from him,when he was with her it felt like the more out going and out poken side of her was back.

Blair couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips when Matt spun her around, he had honestly never done that not even when you were dating the first time round, once he put her back down she swatted his chest playfully "Look at you going all soft and I thought the coast guard was supposed to toughen you!" she quipped with a smirk.

(Sorry Cal, been at school working all night.)

He smiled. "It just taught me to do what's right. I've always had a soft spot for you, you know that." He took her hand when she swatted him and gave her a smug grin. "So what do you say you and me go back to the room, order some room service and just relax with a good movie?"

Nick laughed. "Simple feats," he smiled and gazed at the menu behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and swayed a little, leaning his head on her shoulder. "Hmm, what do you want? For a change," he asked dreamily. Usually, he would call the shots for movies, food, and the like.

OOC: Sorry it's so short. Busy day. This was all I could get.

"It just taught me to do what's right. I've always had a soft spot for you, you know that." Blair couldn't help but smile at his words, she felt for the first time in a long time truly happy, she leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder "hmm sounds perfect, besides I'm starving. Do you think they'll do cheese burgers and fries at a nice place like this?" she asked hopefully.

As Nick wrapped his arms around her she chuckled a bit,she felt completely and utterly safe but still she felt afraid that if Nick would to feel how skinny she was he be absolutley disgused. She knew that even if he was,he would never tell her that,but even more of her thought maybe he didn't care. She sighed putting her hands on top of his,she looked at them and saw how much larger his were compared to her. She couldn't stifle a chuckle,but once Nick put his head on her shoulder she could feel her cheeks turning the cute color of rosy pink the always did when she felt embaressed or flattered. She looks at him and smile before kissing his cheek like she used to. "Hm,what do you want? For a change." She couldn't believe it,he actually was asking for her output and what she wanted for a change. she starting to like the new Nicholas that was in front of her,he was compassionate,thoughtful,and still had the same protectiveness that drove her insane but it also made her feel like he cared about her and her well being so she didn't mind. She looked at the menu,most of them sounded good except for the things that had strawberies in them.

She finally just looked back at Nick and shruged,atleast he knew how to make a discion,something she needed to work on. "I don't know,I am starving so everything sounds good." She put her hand under his,squezzing it tightly like the way you do when you're scared or just plain afraid. Why are you so damn nervous?! Calm down,he doesn't give a shit about what you look like or if you can't make a decion so calm the hell down! She mentally scowled herself. [b]We can try and compromise,seeing that we bith kind of hard headed and know what we want now. Just one thing,no strawberries no matter how much you like them."[b] She chuckled just thinking how much they have changed,not as people but as a couple. It's going to be more equal now,not one perrson leading the other and she was going to love everyday of it.

He laughed. "We're in a five star resort on a beautiful island and you're thinking about burgers? " He asked, joking. "Whatver you want. It's on my tab tonight." He brushed her hair behind her ear. He felt happier than he had in a long while. If he had t start over, he didn't mind. He had another shot

Blair laugh loudly "oh darlin I'm just not the type of girl to eat all that fancy crap" she grinned giving him a peck on his lips, grabbing his hand they walked back into the hotel "So what film do you want to watch?" she asked.

"I'm not feeling too picky." He shrugged and kissed her back quickly. "You choose. I'm just basically your teddy bear tonight." He grinned ear to ear as she pulled him into the hotel. For a second he stopped and looked around the lobby. "Remember a time when something like this seemed so far away?"

"Well in that case, I may make you sit through dirty dancing" she smirked playfully, she knew how much he hated watching that movie. They walked into the lobby when suddenly Matt came to as stop "What's the matter?" she asked softly "Remember a time when something like this seemed so far away?" Blair nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck "And look at us now, grown up, you, In the Coat Guard and me going into my final year of college next year and already getting auditions on Broadway, I feel lucky and being back in your arms is just the cherry on top" she smiled "We've done the impossible and matured" she smiled before laughing.

"Ah fuck. Oh well it's fine." He thought when he heard the movie's name. "Well I think it shows. After all you used to pick movies you know I don't like just to mess with me. Oh wait." He joked. He lifted her up in his arms. "But honestly you have. You're a beautiful young lady with a great talent for acting. And I'm your personal body guard." He said with a grin.

"Alright," Nick said and took Ana's hands kissing the back. "How about we order some pizza or hot dogs if you'd like? Maybe a box of popcorn and soda along with a horror movie. So when the monster comes out of the dark corner," he leaned forward and down to lightly kiss her lips. "I can make everything alright. How does that sound baby?" He chuckled playfully, kissing her lips gently making a soft sucking sound as he did. He raised his eyebrows as he pulled away waiting for her to reply.

He had her in his arms again. What more could he want? Maybe he should thank Cupid. The flying unpotty trained bastard made his dreams come true. He grinned at the idea.

OOC: I'll be gone for a day or two. Just to let you know. I haven't left xD

When Nick kissed her hand,she couldn't help but smile and chuckle a bit. she didn't really think much about it until Nick started to lean towards her,just like always she could feel herself start to freak out. It was kind of like them redoing their first kiss,which completely made her freak out. So many things went throught her mind,Oh my God,oh my God,oh my God.....Calm down you idiot,it's Nick! You have kissed him many times before.....yea but that was three years ago,what if he doesn't feel a spark and then he leaves me because- All those thoughts went away as he spoke to her making her feel safe and like he actually cared for her,"I can make everything alright.How does that sound baby?" She smiled and let her eyes look into his. "I'm not a child." She said right as he started to lean towards her,she let her eyes close slower and her smile start to fade a bit. Once their lips met,she instantly felt a tingle throught her body and once he pulled away,she had a stupid smile on her face. She turned so she was facing him and wrapped her arms around his neck,having to go on her tip toes to do so.

"That's sound absolutly amazing as long as you're right there to protect me." She kissed her softly on his lips placing one of her hands softly on his cheek. Pulling away she looked down and bit her lip before giggling a little. She pulled away from him and grabbed her room key and purse before walking back to his and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Remember,I only like cheese pizza/" She smirked before heading out the door. She walked into the elevator and started to slide down the wall alittle. Best day ever.

Blair laughed loudly "Or maybe it can be Titanic, I know you just love that one also" she teased with a grin she let out a squeal as Matt lifted her up in his arms "But honestly you have. You're a beautiful young lady with a great talent for acting. And I'm your personal body guard." A gentle smile appeared on her lip and placed her hands on his cheeks before kissing him once more. "That was really sweet baby, really it was but you sounded like a cheap 80's movie" she laughed with a smirk before kissing him again.

(OOC: I am so sorry about this post being so late! Had a busy weekend)

(It's all good Cal. No worries.)

"Well I always said I was stuck in the wrong time for me." He joked and kissed her back. "And you really are stunning and a great actress." He carried her to the elevator. "Now come on let's get upstairs and finish the day with a good evening huh? Just you, me, a comfortable place and a movie. That preferably isn't Titanic. That one always makes me cry." He joked.

Nick's eyes lingered to the door where Analise left him. He sighed and picked up the telephone to order their dinner for the night. After ordering a medium box of cheese pizza, soda, and popcorn, he asked who the bill would be going to. The lady on the other line reply by saying Mr. Choi's bill. Nick smirked and hung up. "Cupid," he laughed and walked over to the window, "you pay for this hotel room, but once I get my girl back, you slack on the money. Nicely done, my friend." Nicely done," he started to unpack his clothes since he didn't plan to leave anytime soon.

He changed from his beach shorts and shirt into comfortable sweats and a black wifebeater, showing off his toned biceps. A small wait later a short blonde man knocked on the door and delivered a box of pizza, a couple cans of soda, and two medium bags of buttered popcorn. Nick paid him and even added a respective tip while in his exceptionally great mood. He set the food down on the coffee table and sat on the couch waiting for Analise. Briefly, he changed his online status from single to in a relationship with Analise Von De. He grinned at the immediate comments and likes, but ignored them. He smiled and sat on the couch eyeing the food.

Blair smiled warmly at Matt's words "Do you really mean that?" she asked. He carried her to the elevator and let out a happy sigh "Sounds like heaven" she smiled "Besides I'm starving" she laughed resting her head onto his shoulder, she saw people watching them but she didn't care, they were happy that's all that matters. "You know I do recall you actually shedding a little tear the first time we watched Titanic" she joke with a smirk.

"Yup." He replied. "Every word." He hit the door close button with his elbow as they entered the elevator. "And hey I thought that was our secret." He said in a goofy voice. "It may be a sad movie but It's not that sad." The elevator stopped at their floor, only a few yards from their room. "Could you do me a favor hun? My wallet's in my back right pocket and it's got the key in it. I'd rather not drop you trying to get it either."

She gets to the front desk and smiles. "Um, Can I have the scariest movie you have please?" She asked with a smile. The young boy behind the desk raiseed an eyebrow and got the movie from behind the desk. He handed it to her and she put it in her left hand. "Thank you." she saids as she walked away. She took the elevator being too tired to walk up the stairs. She pressed the button for her floor and taps her foot not being able to wait those murderious seconds for it to get to her floor. The doors opened and she rolls her eyes. "Finally." She commented walking to her room. She feels her phone beep knowing it was her older very protective brother. She reads the text.

Um,Just when were going to tell me that you were back together with Nicholas Choi? Remember the guy who broke your heart when you were 15. I saw his status,tell me he's lying or just plain crazy.

She looks at the text not seeing anything but that he changed his status. She doesn't even respone not seeing or hearing her brother in month almost a year. She bits her lip and changes her status to in a relationship with Nick Choi. She sees all the comments that say why would she go back out with him,he's such a jerk,or are you drunk,Ana? All from her "Beloved" family and friends. She rolls her eyes and sees that she right at her door. She opened the wooden door,of cousre of all the times it wouldn;t work it was now. Once she got it open she saw the food on the small coffee table and Nick on the couch wearing sweats and a black top. She smiled and could feel her cheeks getting redder,she was going to have to get used to sharing a room with such a cute guy. "I got the movie and I saw that you changed your status. Might want to see mine." She saids as she puts the movie in and lands a spot on the couch next to Nick,but not too close.She still was going to keep her guard up,you never know what someone's thinking. She kicked off her black boots exposing her pearl white socks. Her not liking scary movies it was a habit for her to pull her small legs to her even smaller chest.

Blair laughed at Matt's goofy grin "your such a charmer" she smirked "And yeah I mean I'm kinda immune to it now, considering I've seen it like a hundred times!" the sad thing was the actually number was probably not that far off, she had seen that film so many times she could practically recite the lines. "Could you do me a favor hun? My wallet's in my back right pocket and it's got the key in it. I'd rather not drop you trying to get it either." Blair nodded reaching her arm around the back of him, reaching her hand into his back pocket "you know I don't usually grope a guy on the first date" she joked humorously, fumbling to pull out his wallet "you know this would be a lot easier if you just put me down" she laughed, finally pulling it out "ah ha! Got ya" she stated grabbing the key out of his pocket, when her eyes caught sight of a small photo of her "y-you kept this?" her voice trembled.

(OOC: I hope you don't mind that photo bit, I thought it would be cute!)

(I like it. I wish I thought of it!)

He laughed when she talked about "groping" him. "Well technically this is like our twentieth but I guess it all works. Besides, You know me. I never take the easy way." He said with a grin. When she saw the photo his face turned a bit red. "Well yeah, why wouldn't I? I mean, after all, you kept me going. It just seems right." He chuckled nervously and looked away, trying to calm down. "That's all right isn't it? I know I need another, more recent one though." He unlocked the door and carried her inside.

Blair swallowed hearing his words "That's all right isn't it? I know I need another, more recent one though." Blair nodded "it's more than all right" she smiled, placing a kiss on his lips "It's romantic" she stated more kissing him again more passionately this time "i know I said we were gonna take things slow but you wanna, well you know" she smirked biting in her lip.

He kissed her back. "You, miss, are quite the little devil aren't you?" He said,a grin crossing his face as well. "I'm perfectly fine with it but only if you're sure." He kissed her, first on the lips, then at the middle of the neck and then on the nape. He practically melted when she bit her lip, seeing as he always had a soft sport for that smile.

Nick smiled and made room for Ana on the couch. He laughed at the mention of online statuses. "I'll check that later." The movie started and he saw Ana pull her knees to her chest. "Scared already?" He leaned forward and tucked his arm around her shoulders. "Come on. Come closer. It's only going to get scarier," he lifted her small body so that she sat on his lap. At first the position was awkward, but he scooted side ways and let her move around. "You okay? Or is this weird?"

On the television screen, a short blonde girl ran into a large empty mansion. She screamed and twirled around happily. "This is my house?!" she asked her father who came in lugging three suitcases all marked "Ally" on them. The little girl pounded up the steps and stopped midway to looked back at her father who just laughed. "Yes, Ally. This is our new home," he pushed the suit cases closer inside the house.

OOC: Sorry I've been gone! My computer was acting up. But I'm back now! On and off probably, but I haven't left.

"Scared already?" Nick asked her as he out one of his strong arms around her thin shoulders. She could feel herself blushing again,everytime he did something sweet or romantic she could feel her face get red,always no matter how old she was,it always happened. She smiled and looked at him before answering his question,"Not cute,I don't get scaried that easy." She smirked,but as soon as Nick pulled her to his lap it quickly faded. As much as she wanted to be there,it just felt too soon to her. She wanted to take it slow this time around,they went so fast before and maybe that's why it was so hard for her to get over him. she looked at her fingers as Nick asked her,"Are you ok? Or is this weird?" She swallowed the lump in her throat before answering,she knew he was just trying to be sweet and romantic but for her it felt so strange sitting on a man's lap that you just got back together with. "Um,just a little I mean. I do want to,it's just.....I want to take things slower than last time, you know? She could feel her heart start to back as she moved herself off his lap,but she didn't move far. She sat right next to him and put one of his arms around her before she layed her head on her shoulder.

She exhaled knowing that maybe that was a bit bitchy,she just wasn't as comfortable as she was before. She moved her hair to the other side as she moved closer to Nick. She reached for that hand Nick had around her. She found it and started to hold it tightly,she would never admit it but ever since she saw nightmare on Elm street with her brother,she has always been terrifed of horror movies,and of course Nick knew that and chose one. He was a hell of a lot clever than people gave him credit for,most of her friends just saw him as another pretty boy,man were they wrong. She exhaled as she looked at the movie hoping it was long enough for her to stay in his arms forever. "Nick,I just want to tell you that I really am glad I have you back." She looked at him before reaching up and kissing his lips softly. She pulled away and bit her lip before looking back at the movie.

After a while the movie started to get a little boring to her so she decided to use that as an excuse so she could lay on Nick's shoulder. She looked up at him and smiled before yawning and streching her arms up. She moved closer to Nick and moved all her hair to one side to keep it out of her way. Once she started to fall asleep,one moment the one regert she had once she broke up with Nick started to come back to her which was hard for her to forget. She hated what she did and knew if Nick knew he would go absolutly insane because she knew how much he dislike his cousin.


Analise was at the last track meet before her and her family was moving,she didn't want to be there at all because it was just a week after her break up with Nick. But,she had to support her brother no matter what and of course he had to be good friends with Nick so he joined track of all sports. After watching her brother finish she quickly looked at Nick who was getting warmed up but looked away quickly not wanting to meet his eyes because she knew it would just cause her to start crying her eyes out. Her brother came up ti the stands and told her that after he changed that he would take her home,she nodded and walked out to her brother's car.

It was there where she made her mistake,it was there where she saw Johnathan. He asked her if she was ok,he must have knew about the break hell,everyone knew and everyone asked her if she was ok or told her that he was an idiot. She started to tear up and just nodded. "I'm fine,thanks for asking Johnathan. She smiled at him shyly,it was strange,Nick always told her when he spoke to her just to act like she didn't hear him but now she wasn't with Nick she could do what she please. After a second,she started to let the tears fall down as she sat on the curb and hid her face in her hands. "It's just so hard,I mean I was with him for two years and I thought that we were doing fine in out relationship but I guess it wasn't perfect enough for him because he just threw away that two year relationship like it was a piece of paper." Johnathan sat next to her and put his arm on her back trying to comfort her. "You don't deserve that Analise,you're a beautiful,inteligent girl and Nick's an utter idiot bastard for leaving you. She looked up at him and smiled before wipping her tears,no one was allowed to wipe her tears away other than herself and Nick no matter what. "Thanks,you really are making me feel better,but are you sure you want to say that about your own cousin? He just looked at her and chuckled before shrugging. In the heat of the moment,they started to lean into each other. Ana wanted to pull away but she was angry and confused about the whole break upbut why was she so surprised with the rumors she heard about him and why he broke up with her. One about him being with two others girls other than her and they were in college,another about him cheating on her with her best friend and one of his exes,......before you judge,she didn't know until she was way too head over heels for him,but the worst one she heard and the hardest to imagine was him gtting another girl pregnate just because Analise wouldn't give in. She didn't know what to beileve for the two years she lived in California she was known manly as one thing and that was "Nick's freshmen or sophomore girlfriend" and when he left her she didn't know who she was anymore except for "that damn idiot who thought Nicholas Choi actually loved her". Ok so,she was mostly angry until her lips met with Johnathan's that's when she started feeling confused and like a bitch. As they kissed her eyes weren't even close,after kissing Nick so many times no one else's was ever going to be so......intoxicating,it was like a drug to her and with him she felt like she was in the air,being so much shorter than him sometimes he would lift her up and she litterally was on air. But,with his cousin she didn't feel anything like that,hell she didn't feel anything at all. After a few seconds Ana pulled away and started to shake her head. "I-I can't....I can't do that to Nick. I mean yea,we're not together anymore but that doesn't give me an excuse to kiss her cousin. Johnathan just scoffed and got up before speaking the words she already knew. "Maybe if you were a little more mature and a little less needy,that son of a bitch wouldn't have left you because without him you're nothing. Right?" Analise just bit on her lip trying to stop from crying but then something in her snapped.Wait a minute,I don't need to take that from anyone,espcially him! But,before she could say anything he was already walking to his friends. Just then her brother walked up and drove her home,she couldn't help but think that she had to tell Nathan but Nat was already pissed off for hurting his sister and if something was to happen what if he just let that slip out? So,she always kept it to herself and hoped that if Johnathan told Nick at least let them be out of the state.


She opened her eyes and looked up at Nick,knowing if this relationship was going to work then they would have to be honest with each other from now on. And if she had to start,so be it. He mustn't know if he's axting so calm,lik i'm still that innocent angel. Please don't hate me or leave me,it was a mistake at least let me explain before breaking up with me.......again......No,i'm not going to tell him,it was in the past no need to tell him- "Nick......babe um,there's something I really need to tell you. It's kind of important and you deserve to know if his relationship is going to work. She exhaled and looked at him,bitting her lip and tighening her grip on his hand

Well there you have it young lovers. This was just the first of many days that ended up being the best mistake these young couples have ever made. They got the love of their lives back,the girls learned to just go with it and put the past behind them and let the future happen.

------3 months later-------
Matt proposed to Blair and surprisingly she said yes. They got married on the island with just them,a preacher,and Analise&Nick. Ask for Nicholas and Analise,well they loved each other just as much but Ana being two years younger she was only in her second year in college and wanted to wait. So they did,she made him a deal if they made it to three years togerher she would marrry him in a heartbeat. As the moths lingered on the couples became super close and almost like family,seeing that they couldn't tell their family about this it was their little secert.

-------Back Home----------
Matt and Blair moved in together just as they got home and are expecting their first kid of two. They both have really matured over the years which is a good sign. Another good thing,they're actually compromising with eah other. I mean,it's not that their both hard heaed it's just they're so different. Now,they're expecting their second and last child. Not even I know if it a girl or a boy yet,but I guess I need a mystery once and a while too. I do know that they named their oldest Carmine Frank Scarpa. Really cute.


Now ask for Nicholas and Analise,they couldn't bare being so far apart from each other,so Ana asked Nick to move in with her and three weeks later he did. He finshed his last year of college at Columbia with Ana. Of course they had a litttle trouble seeing that her dog,Pete was used to sleeping in the bad with her,but now he has his own little bed right next to theirs. Two and a half year past and they couldn't take it anymore. Ana caved in and married Nick not being able to wait another year. They got married,and even more surprising Ana made up with her parents and her father walked her down to her new life with her future husband. Now,Analise is expecting her first of six children,Isabelle Choi. and yes,that is how they are going to spell it.


As you can see these two couples end super well,I never have helped so much in my life that the couples come to San Valentine almost every year on their aniverseries,but i'm not complaining. Well,that's it for now. Hopefully,their kids don't end up here but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But I highly doubt that since their parents have warned them about the mistakes they made.

Matt & Nick-for leaving the person they loved but both for very good reasons. That just came to bite them in the ass,but hey if they didn't who knows how the girls migh be or eve if the couples be together.

Blair & Analise-for not running after the loves of their life,being to hard-headed to even try and change their minds.

With these mistakes fixed....maybe let's hope I never have to hear the last names Choi or Scarpa EVER again. But,if I do well,let us find out.

p.s:Hey who knows maybe just one day i'll help you get that one ex that you may have been madly in love with but until then i'll think I need a break.

Love, Cupid
