Chapter 2

3 hours later

"Did you hear who is coming to Vancouver to meet us?" Telly asked Naya. The pair had decided to grab lunch at a restaurant downtown.

"No, who?" Naya replied as she sipped her water. She decided to stop drinking after the third mimosa because Telly's plan had worked and she was starting to get over emotional.

"I surprised you didn't get a text! I'm just going to let you see." he responded.

"I don't know what that's supposed to mean… but okay…" Naya said back with her eyebrow raised.

" You'll see. We are gonna have fun!" he said with a smirk.

She raised her eyebrow at him then continued to eat. They talked and finished their lunches then headed back to hotel. It was an absolutely beautiful day in the city and they decided that later they were going to go out to a club.

Once they arrived at the hotel they didn't even get through the lobby before Naya realized who Telly was talking about earlier.

"Naya!" Mark yelled out.

"Mark what are you doing here?" she said as she ran over to him and gave him a hug.

"Well Telly told me you guys were out here and I decided I needed to get away. Cory is coming into town tomorrow so I figured I'd come hang out!" he said as he smiled. He kept his arm wrapped around her waist and they both faced towards Telly.

" That's awesome! We are going to go downtown to a club a little later if you want to come with." Naya said as she looked up at him. She gestured towards her friend to make sure he was okay with Mark coming with them.

"Ya, it's going to be a ton of fun, you should come with!" Telly said enthusiastically.

"Alright, sounds perfect." Mark said with a smile. He then continued, "I'm going to go throw my stuff in the room and then get a beer. You guys want to come hang out?"

"Ya for sure. I'll be outside by the pool. They have a great bar here next to the pool and it has an amazing view." Naya said.

"I actually have some stuff I need to go take care of but I'll meet up with you guys a little later." Telly said.

At that point Naya became a little hesitant of being alone with Mark. She loved the boy and they were great friends now but they did have a history. She hadn't been alone with him since they decided to just be friends.

"Oh please, we're on vacation. Just come have a drink." Naya said back to Telly.

"I'm a very important man. I have urgent issues that need my attention!" he playfully said back. "You guys go have fun and I'll meet up with you before we go to the club."

Naya decided to make the best of the situation and decided to join Mark for a coupe of drinks. Mark and Telly both headed to their rooms and Naya headed to the small deck by the bar on the balcony of the hotel. She grabbed a drink and sat down at a table. Her phone was the only thing to keep her entertained until Mark got there, so she just decided to scroll through her twitter feed and see what her cast-mates were up to.

She could't help but take those few minutes and think about Heather. The whole situation made her sick to her stomach. Heather and Naya were very close but she doubted that Heather knew about her feelings towards her. Was it really worth risking their friendship to tell the blond her true feelings? She knew that she couldn't because of Heather's boyfriend. They had been together for about 5 years now and Naya knew Heather cared about him deeply. Who was she to think she could even interfere with a relationship like that?

"Hey." Mark said as she sat down across the table from her. She was so deep in thought that she didn't even realize he was already at the bar and got a beer.

"Oh hey." she replied.

"So how are things? I haven't even seen you in a whole 5 days!" he laughed.

"Couldn't be better. The tour was amazing and now I'm on vacation."

"Ya, the tour was so awesome this year!"

XXXXXXX

"Can you even believe it's over? Wow, tonight was amazing!" Naya said to Heather. The girls had just got back to their hotel room in Dublin.

"I still can't believe that you came on stage and kissed me!" Heather said back as she laughed.

"You know that I had to. It was so sad to see you get rejected every time you wanted to kiss Darren! Plus the fans went crazy. It was so worth it."

" Ya, it was priceless that's for sure." Heather said as she sat down on the couch.

"I hope I didn't freak you out. Was it too much? You're acting kind of weird." Naya said. It was easy to be direct with her best friend because she knew that Heather would answer truthfully.

"No, of course not Nay… That's not it." Heather said back. Her tone was quiet and it slightly worried Naya.

"Whats wrong then?" Naya said as she sat next to the girl.

"I just have a lot going on right now and I need to get back to LA. I'm just stressed." the blond put her head down and avoided eye contact with the other girl.

"Are you sure? Do you want to talk about it?" Naya responded.

"No, I'm fine." Heather said.

"Okay then." Naya said as she got up and walked towards the door.

"Wait, where are you going? Why are you mad?" Heather said to the girl.

"I'm not mad. I know that when you shut down like this you need a little space. I'm going to go get us coffee." Naya as she turned around.

Heather put her head down again and took a second to respond. As soon as Naya turned around and her hand grabbed the door knob Heather spoke, "It's Taylor. I feel like things are slipping away." The blond started to cry.

Naya walked back over and sat down next to her. She put her arms around her best friend and whispered, "It'll all work out."

"I don't know if it will this time, and I don't know if I want it to anymore." the blond said back. She got her tears under control and reached down and grabbed Naya's hand. She intertwined their fingers and squeezed tight.

In that moment Naya felt it. She understood what the little moments of flirting and joking around really were. It was that moment Naya realized that she wanted Heather. The real question was did Heather want her just as much? Naya was too scared to make a move so she let the moment slip away.

XXXXXXXXX

The flight from LA to Vancouver is about two and a half hours. Considering she didn't have a ticket and had to wait till the next open flight, it actually took her about 8 hours to get there. Heather spent the entire time thinking about what she was going to do. Things weren't great with Taylor and she didn't know if she had enough fight in her left to fix things. She tried to concentrate and think about Taylor but her mind kept drifting back to Naya. Things hadn't been normal since the tour ended but she didn't know exactly why. There was no big moment that she could recall that Naya could be mad about, so why was she so distant?

Before she knew it the plane had landed and she made her way through customs. She grabbed her bags and got in a taxi. Telly had mentioned the name of the hotel they were staying at earlier when they were texting so she told the cabbie to take her there.

When she pulled up to the hotel she grabbed her things again and headed inside. She decided to call Telly before she checked in.

"Hello?" he said.

"Hey! Guess what?"

"You flew out to Canada to come see me."

"Can you see me or something? Or was that just a really good guess?"

"Wait what? Are you joking? You're seriously here?"

"Yes I am here. Get your ass down here to the lobby and come see me!"

"Uh… okay! Im on my way! Bye!"

"Bye!"

About a minute later she saw the guy running down the stairs and flying into her arms. She hugged him back tightly then said, " Surprise!"

"Heather what the hell are you doing here?" Telly said.

" I decided I needed a vacation. Actually, I was kind of forced in to coming. Ashley literally made me get on a plane." she said as she laughed.

"Well I'm glad! You are just in time! Everyone is getting ready to go out the club here in a little bit! You should come with."

"Oh boy, I still have to check in. Not to mention, I don't even know if I have club appropriate clothes. Ashley packed my suitcase so god knows whats in there."

"Ashley packed your suitcase?"

"Like I said, she ambushed me and literally forced me to come out here." Heather said as she laughed. Telly nodded in approval and then Heather said, " So is Naya up in her room?"

"She should be! Her room number is 312. You should go see her after you check in. She is going to die." he said back. He tried to contain his laughter because he knew Naya was going to freak out. He couldn't help find it comical that she had shown up hours after the other surprise guest.

"I know she is going freak." Heather laughed back.

"Okay I am going to leave you to it but I'll call you or Naya when everyone's ready." the man said back to her.

"See you later." Heather said as she gave him another hug. Telly headed back to his room and Heather checked in at the front desk. After getting everything worked out she went up to her room and set her things down. She was conveniently on the same floor as Naya. After throwing her things in her room she went to room 312 and knocked on the door. She was so excited to see the look on her best friends face when she realized Heather had flown all the way out to come see her.

A few seconds later the door opened and Heather was surprised to see it wasn't Naya, but Mark instead. He was shirtless and just in a pair of basketball shorts.

"Oh my god! Mark? What are you doing here?" Heather said. She was genuinely confused and it didn't even cross her mind that Naya was in the room with him.

"I'm on vacation! What are youuuuu doing here HeMo?" he replied.

"Same! I came out to see Naya, but I think Telly told me the wrong room number." She said as she laughed.

Mark put his head down and blushed then yelled back into the room, " Naya, someone's here for you!"

Heather raised her eyebrow in confusion as she saw the girl appear behind Mark. She was wearing a short black silk robe and clearly had nothing on underneath. She was just tying it as she was walking, so Heather knew that they had just slept together.

Naya felt her heart drop as soon as she saw the blond. She started to panic but managed to get a few words out, "Heather, what the.."

"WOW! Okay… Hi Naya." the blond said as she hid her face with her hand and turned just enough so she couldn't see them. " I am just going to go now. I'm sorry to interrupt. I am in room 334 if you want to come see me later. Bye!" she said as she walked away quickly.

"Bye!" Mark yelled down the hall then closed the door.

"Shit!" Naya said loudly as she ran to get her clothes. She was getting dressed as fast as she could.

"What is it?" Mark asked.

"Nothing, just get your clothes and go please. This shouldn't have happened again. I've had way too much to drink and I-"

Mark cut her off and said, "Naya, it's fine. Calm down. I'm going to get my clothes and we can pretend like this never happened."

Naya took a deep breath then said, "Thank you…"

XXXXXXX

Heather sat down on the bed in her room and tried to comprehend what she had just seen. She could feel her blood boiling and she didn't understand why.

Am I seriously mad about Mark and Naya sleeping together? What's wrong with me?
