Macy walked around and stopped in front of the stage as JONAS was about to perform. Nadia was sitting in a chair on the stage. Nick was looking out into the crowd as they started to play and Macy noticed he was staring at her singing one of their ballads. Macy tried to fight the urge to faint, because she swore the wouldn't be that annoying fan girl anymore. But when he winked at her she smiled and beamed with delight. Even allowing herself to squeal with delight as they played her favorite song. She was the crazed fan girl after all.

But, suddenly, she felt Sergey's eyes on her and she turned and looked up at him. He was staring, intently at her while holding a glass of vodka. He licked his lips as he stared at her with open lust. She felt her heart beat faster, but she didn't know why. He wasn't Nick, of JONAS, and he kind of made her uncomfortable. Still, she couldn't deny a certain allure about him.

"This one is for the birthday girl." Nick said as he sat down at the piano and played the song he'd written for her. Macy knew she couldn't bare to watch Nick basically profess his love for Nadia through song, so she went back to the VIP lounge.

"Ah, Macy…" Sergey said with a smiled as she entered the VIP lounge. "I thought you'd like to watch more of the show. They are surprisingly good."

"Yeah…they are." she said as she looked sadly at Nick singing the song to Nadia.

"Would you like another drink, Macy?" Sergey said as he gestured for a waitress to come over to them. She waited patiently for their order.

"I don't know…I guess. I want to try a Cosmopolitan. My cousin said it was sort of sweet."

"Okay." he said with a chuckle and spoke in Russian to the waitress. She nodded and left to fix Macy's drink and another shot of vodka he ordered for himself. "He doesn't deserve you."

"What?" Macy said feeling confused at the sudden statement.

"He doesn't deserve you. You're more than beautiful and he wants Nadia. She's a very pretty girl. I must confess that I can not stand her. She's my niece, but she is a spoiled brat. She takes everything for granted. Just like Nick takes you for granted, I imagine. Our drinks are here."

"Oh…" was all Macy could say as their drinks arrived. For the first time she didn't feel like hesitating and she sipped from the martini glass. It was sweet and she could barely taste the vodka. They sat there in silence for a moment as JONAS finished playing and the chill out music returned.

"Macy…I would like to propose an offer to you. I want you to come with me tonight."

"What?!" Macy said almost choking when she took another sip.

"I want you to come with me tonight. I want to give you everything Nick hasn't given you. You're too beautiful to be alone and I think it would be difficult to watch the boy you love commit himself to a girl he barely knows."

"You're making me feel really uncomfortable right now…" Macy said wanting to laugh because he had been making her feel uncomfortable ever since she saw him.

"Macy…" he cooed trying to relax her. "I just want to give you what Nick can not. Just come with me tonight." he said as he caressed her face, but she slapped his hand away.

"No! I'm not going anywhere with you! And stop touching me! I'm leaving!" she said as she tried to get up, but Sergey grabbed her wrist and held it tight. "Let go of me!"

"Macy…" he said through clenched teeth. She stared at him with fear as he stood up still holding onto her wrist. His eyes were blazing with a subtlety that chilled her. She struggled to rip herself way from his grasp, and she was about to give up. "Macy, you will not protest this. You are coming with me tonight."

"The hell she is!" Nick yelled and Macy turned around to see him at the entrance of the VIP lounge. Kevin, Tom, Joe, and Stella were behind him. He was angry as he saw Sergey manhandle Macy. Tom stepped forward and pulled Nick behind him.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

"I want Macy to come with me tonight." Sergey said it as if he was saying that it was raining. "I offered a night with me. It would make sense since I bought her this outfit and shoes. I had her hair and makeup done, professionally."

"We never asked you to do that, and I'm sure Macy didn't ask you to do that, either. Now, I'm sure there is some misunderstanding going on here and…I'll get in contact with Vladimir."

"Oh, save your pathetic American reasoning. Do you not realize that I am not my brother? He is an aging fool willing to let a bunch of spoiled American brats take advantage of his money by paying an unworthy price for their horrible playing."

"Look…" Tom said trying to sound calm, but Macy knew he was losing his temper. "We will pay you back for the dress…the makeup and hair and anything else you spent on Macy and Stella, but the boys earned the money for playing Nadia's birthday party."

"I already told you how I wanted my payment. I will not repeat myself. If you do not comply…well, it will be just a tragic story in America of the beloved JONAS."

"Are you threatening my family?" Tom said getting angry. "You won't get away with this."

"I will, actually. We are a very powerful family with lots of influence." Sergey said and Macy just closed her eyes and made a decision they wouldn't like. She was going to be a sacrifice for the sake of keeping Nick and everyone she loved safe.

"I'll go…" Macy said and they all looked at her in shock.

"Macy, no!" Nick yelled and there was a wicked grin that spread across Sergey's face. "You son of a bitch!" Nick yelled as he tried to launch at Sergey, but his father stopped him.

"It's okay, Nick…I want to go…" she lied as she stood beside Sergey and wrapped her arm around him as he did the same. There was a smug smile that developed onto Sergey's face and Macy felt her stomach turn.

"What?!" Nick said in complete confusion. "I thought you didn't want to go."

"I don't have a choice, and besides…I can't stand watching you get cozy with Nadia."

"Macy, please don't do this." Nick pleaded and it broke her heart that she was hurting him this way, but she knew she had to do it to protect him. "He's going to hurt you."

"I would never hurt Macy, Nick. I could never hurt someone so beautiful."

"Shut up! Just shut the hell up! Macy…don't do this. Dad, talk some sense into her. What are you going to tell her parents?"

"Macy?" Tom said as he looked at her hoping that mentioning her parents would help change her mind. "Nick is right. What will I say to your parents? They would hate me if something happened to you. Please…"

"I'll deal with them Mr. Lucas. This is my decision, and I want to go." she said as she stared down at the floor because she didn't want to look them in the eyes. "I'm sorry…" she mumbled as she was walking out of the lounge with Sergey brushing past Joe and Stella. Just then, Stella grabbed Macy and held her by the shoulders.

"Macy…" she said in a stern voice. "You don't have to do this."

"Yes, I do…" Macy said as she looked at all of them knowing they wouldn't understand. "I'll be back tomorrow." she said hoping that was true. She knew Sergey could get angry, but she believed him when he said he wouldn't hurt her. She didn't know the reason herself why, though.
