She took one last look at the apartment, herself and Randy had made. She'd sold it quickly, it was probably Randy buying it back. She didn't care all she cared about was that she was out of there away from them all. She was gonna miss Candice sure, and the most amazing cappucino's in America. But was she gonna stay there doing the same thing every day? Telling Randy to get the hell away? No. She wasn't prepared to do that any longer. She didn't want anyone but her friends to know where she was. She was heading back to LA. Somewhere she'd pratically died to move out of. But it was her home, this felt like home. She was back where her best friend lived and she was a hundred percent certain she would not miss Kelly's babys birth now. She shut the door and walked down the stairs, there was a furniture delivery van outside they loaded the last of her furniture and left. Mickie followed behind them in her car. She had her favorite song on replay in her car all the way there it made her cry always, she didn't know why. It was by Madonna, her alltime favorite songs. It was her and Kelly's favorite song. When she stopped crying she smiled and took a deep breath - finally she was able to relax. Randy wasn't there, Cody wasn't there. But Maria was. As she arrived to an apartment round the corner to Kelly's she sighed and looked up. Maria was there smiling and waving with a bottle of champagne and freshly made cookies.

'Honey,' Maria said rushing up to her 'I'm so pleased your back I've missed you.'

Mickie got out of the car and hugged her tightly.

'Is everything OK?' Mickie asked.

'Hm,' Maria looked down at the floor 'look lets just enjoy you being back... I want to see the new apartment.'

Mickie hadn't even seen it properly she'd found it on the internet and called up for her to rent, it seemed pretty nice. She walked up the stairs and into the hallway. There was a lift and there where these long winding stairs. Mickie nodded, she loved hallways like this and lifts like those. The old type with the sort of gate onto it. She'd always dreamt of living in a place with a lift like that, and hell yes was she gonna use it. She got into the lift her arms where filled with bags and books. She pressed the level 3 button and got there. The number was, oh god, she thought. She couldn't remember the number. Then she remembered, just like that bitch's number. 192. She looked down at the floor and Maria looked at her. She realised, and stopped she put her arm around Mickie's shoulders and took her to it. She took the keys from Mickie's hand bag and opened the door. Maria shoved Mickie into the apartment. Mickie looked up. It was a beautiful apartment it had these big massive windows looking onto the sea and beach. She seemed to remember it had said on the details "Sea View" but she had never taken any of it seriously, since her first apartment that had said "Sea View" yet it was a little tiny bit of the sea you could see past thousands of buildings. She gasped as she took it in. She couldn't wait till sunset, it was gonna be great. She put her bags onto the floor and finally by the end of the day the house was nearly how she'd wanted it. Maria had good taste as to where to put furniture. She smiled and flopped onto her new sofa. Maria fell onto it too wiping her brow.

'Ah, we done good,' She smiled sipping her champagne.

Mickie sighed and watched the sunset with Maria, she'd never done this with a friend before and it was awesome. All she needed know was a new beau and to see Kelly, she hadn't in a while and was starting to miss her. Her phone beeped. Maria picked it up and saw it was from Cody.

'You two still in contact then?' Maria asked a little dissapointed.

Mickie searched in her head for an excuse.

'Yeah, I promise I didn't know about you and him breaking up though,' She said holding her hands up and snatching the phone from Maria.

Hoping he would confess his undying love for her and wanting to get married, but this wasn't the case. It was just a chain mail message telling everyone there was a party in Vibe in NYC. If Mickie had still been living in NYC she would've been onto that like a mouse to cheese. But she wasn't she was back in LA. The city of the riches, yes? or no. Probably not. Maria smiled, she peeked over to see the text. She read it and shook her head.

'That man is always partying,' She shook her head.

Mickie laughed 'Tell me what happened, honey?' Mickie asked putting her hand on Maria's.

She shook her head. 'I dunno he just got up and left one morning, I was lying in bed after a day with Kellz and he just got up and left,' She remembered 'I don't even like to think why.'

Maybe he had left Maria for her, but then again that just wouldn't have been right? He wouldn't have done that to Maria. He may have done this but why?

'Tell me the real reason!' Mickie asked her knowing she did know all along.

Maria bit her bottom lip and looked down at the floor a tear falling down.

'We'd had this massive argument the night before because he'd called me you, Mickie, instead of Maria and I got into this massive huff,' She cried.

Mickie gulped he really did love HER! He wouldn't have called Maria, Mickie. Even if he didn't LOVE her she was in his head while they where making love right? What was going on. Really?

'Then we stopped and we argued loads until about 5 AM I wanted him to admit he still had feeling for you cos I know he does!' Maria sighed 'Then he addmited it and moved to NY for you.'
