Author's Note: For those of you who are wondering, this fanfiction does in no way follow the events in 21 Guns. Otherwise, most things are the same. The only changes I have made was that Ray got back into his band and after moving out of Ray's apartment, Neela moved back in with Abby. One more thing before you start the chapter. Just remember that Neela had been drinking. That will explain most of this chapter's events.

Who knows how long I've been standing out here? I do know however, that I'm not going back inside. Not as long as he's still there. It may be raining and I may be soaking wet from head to toe but I could care less right now. Look's like the band has finished their gig. People are filing out of the bar to their cars, driving away into the night. Maybe this is a sign, a sign telling me to leave while I still have a chance. I'll blend right in with the other people heading out. Perfect. He'll never notice I was here.

I guess I was too busy rambling aloud to myself to notice a figure approaching. I wandered around, searching in the dark for my car, when he put a hand on my shoulder. I jumped, and in doing so, brought myself back to reality. I whipped around to face him. "Just leave me be Ray! Point me in the direction of my car and I'll be on my merry way." It's as if he hadn't heard a word I'd just said. I turned on my heal and staggered away from him, but it wasn't long before he caught up to me. " Come on Neela, I'm taking you back to Abby's. Gimme your keys." I glared at him. " Don't you dare treat me like a child Ray! I am perfectly capable of taking myself home!" He grabbed the keys from my hands. " I'm not letting you drive when you are obviously drunk. Let's go." He picked me up and carried me to the car while I flailed my arms and cried, making a total fool of myself. He opened the passenger door and helped me in. He didn't even ask about all the luggage in the backseat, much to my relief.

We were silent the whole way to Abby's. I wasn't in the state of mind to tell him that I no longer lived there. She must've been keeping a watch out for me to return because I saw her peaking out from behind the curtains. I don't blame her. I too would have been worried if I came home from work to find that all of my roommate's stuff was gone. Ray got out of the car and went up to the door. I'm glad he didn't make me go with him because I don't think I could face Abby right now. She looks mad, and rightfully so.

Author's Note: So, what did you think? I'm sorry if it was short, I had writer's block. The next chapter looks promising. I think you'll enjoy it.
