"Guess who?" she heard a voice say. She turned around to see her band mate Julia standing there.

"Oh My Gosh! Julia?" Natasha exclaimed surprised to see her there because they were supposed to meet up the next day.

"That's my name. Don't wear it out," Julia replied with a smile.

"oh my gosh you scared me. I thought you were someone else," Natasha said her voice starting to trail off.

"Oh and who might that be?" Julia said quiet amused.

"oh uh never mind," Natasha said zapping back to reality.

"OK whatever," Julia replied pulling a strand of her black hair behind her ear. "But anyway. . .Guess who I ran into."

"What?" Natasha said startled by her comment. "Who?"

"I ran into Kevin," Julia said with a smile. "He said him and the guys were staying here for a few days too. So I figured I'd find you and tell you just in case Howie would find you before I did."

"Yeah thanks. But its too late for that now," Natasha sighed taking a sip of her iced tea.

"Oh my god really?" Julia exclaimed not realizing the tone of her voice. The room suddenly grew silent and all eyes were on Natasha and Julia.

The girls cheeks turned red with embarrassment. "Um. . .how about we go talk about this somewhere else," Natasha said paying for her drink.

Julia nodded in reply. Julia and Natasha headed out of the bar area and back towards the elevators near the indoor pool.

Natasha then saw someone out of the corner of her eye. Howie was sitting in one of the lounge chairs his head buried in his hands.

Natasha paused, looking over at him. "Natasha, no." Julia said grabbing her arm. "He deserves it. He's caused you a lot more pain. Just let it be."

"Julia," Natasha said looking into her friends hazel eyes. "Its not that easy. Its not as easy as you and Marissa think for me to just move on. He was the first person I had ever loved and probably the only person I ever will love. No matter the pain he's caused me. I just think me and him need to talk."

And with that Julia just stood there in shock as Natasha walked off.
