Loner's Friend's RV:

"Where's Anna?" James asked.

"I don't know," Marta replied.

"She's been gone for like 3 hours! (Let's say it's like 3 AM)" James freaked.

"She probably just went for a walk, like I do when I get upset," Marta reasoned.

"I don't know about you, but something doesn't feel just right to me. I'm going to find her," James said confidently.

"Whatever, Ari likes to disappear on us sometimes; I'm not worried," Marta replied not looking up from her magazine.

"Fine, but I'm going to look for her!" James said as he walked out of the RV.

James wandered the area for an hour; there was still no sign of Anna- Rita. Then, he saw a star. It was a really foggy night, so he didn't expect to see one. He still had no signs of Anna- Rita, and he didn't want to go back to the RV, so he decided to follow the star to see where it went.

James followed the star to a Motel 6. He saw a swimming pool, and the star glistened on the swimming pool in the moonlight. The night was freakishly quiet, so when he heard a bubbling noise, he wanted to try and figure out what it was.

He then followed the noise to a hallway on the second floor. He then saw a figure in the shadows, and the only thought that came to his mind was "Anna- Rita"!

"Anna- Rita!" he called, as he ran towards the body. When the body turned to face him, he knew that it was Anna- Rita. The bubbling noise that came from her was in fact not crying, but Anna- Rita hyperventilating.

"Are you okay?" James asked with concern. There was still blood coming from her mouth, and she was just about to faint. James caught Anna- Rita in his arms.

She had just passed out, and he couldn't feel her pulse anywhere. James also knew that her inhalers weren't around anywhere. Without even thinking about it James put his mouth to hers, and began to do CPR.

No luck. Anna- Rita still wasn't breathing. So, James did the first thing that came to mind. He carefully swung Anna- Rita over his shoulder, and headed back towards the RV.

Once arriving, he burst through the door, and everyone looked up from what they were doing. Marta and Penny looked up from their magazine test, and Rocky looked up from his bass.

"Oh my gosh James what did you do?" Marta yelled.

"I didn't do anything!" James yelled back defensively.

"I swear I wouldn't do anything to harm Anna!"

Marta called down. "You really love her don't you?"

James was backed. "Huh?"

"I said 'you love her'?" Marta repeated herself.

"I'm with Laur-----"

"I don't care about her! Do you love Ari?"

"Yes…" James admitted, just as Anna- Rita started coughing hard.

James had successfully given Anna- Rita he inhaler, regardless of her un- conscious state. He was the only one in the RV, beside Anna- RIta who knew how any of her medical things worked. He was the only one who ever payed enough attention to these things outside of her family.

"Mmmmmmmm…." Anna- Rita moaned.

"Anna!" James yelled as he kissed Anna- Rita passionately on the lips.

"Kill her why don't ya!" Marta yelled sarcastically. "You don't want her to get hurt again!"

Anna- Rita didn't really take much into the kiss. She was still over- confused by where she was. "Where am I?" she asked.

"The RV hun. You must have had quite a night," Marta said.

"What? What happened? Did something happen? The last thing I remember was getting kicked in the stomach!" Anna- Rita said frantically.

"We should probably take her to a doctor," Rocky advised.

"No. The press. Not pretty," Anna- Rita mumbled.

"Ari, what just happened? If anything happened?"

"He used protection," Anna- Rita said sheepishly.

At that, James stormed out of the girl's room, and into the living area.

"James!" Anna- Rita said.

"So, you guys did it?" Marta questioned. "What was it like?"

"We didn't do it Marta," Anna- Rita said in pain.

"Oh,"

"But, we did come close. He touched my ears, and I started to freak…"

"It's good that you remember these things, and are able to talk about them," Marta pointed out.

"But still it doesn't help… I mean James is still mad at me. I mean, before I passed out, I remember him doing mouth-to-mouth to me…." Anna- Rita said very confusedly.

"He obviously loves you," Marta said matter- of- factly.

"What have I done?" Anna- Rita asked, burying her face in her hands.

"You two seriously need to talk Ar. You both obviously love each other. Now you just need to decide what to do about it,"

"I guess you're right," Anna- Rita agreed as she stood up and made her way to the living room.

"Hey," Anna- Rita said quietly.

James didn't look up, or even acknowledge Anna- Rita.

"James! Please just listen to me! We need tot talk,"

"Fine,"

"I messed up. I almost slept with a guy who I didn't want to sleep with tonight. He was a whore. I thought that he left me to die; I was that scared. I didn't love him,"

"Then what?"

"You did mouth-to-mouth to me. No one has ever done that before. Why did you do that?"

"Anna, I'm mad at you. Scratch that; I'm furious with you… why can't we do this?"

"I don't know…" Anna- Rita admitted.

"Maybe we should talk about it in the morning," James suggested.

"Yea," Anna- Rita agreed.

James started to get up and head towards the boys room, when Anna- Rita stopped him.

"Wait!" she shouted.

"What?" James asked.

"I'm scared… what if 'he' comes?"

"I guess that I could stay with you…" James said sheepishly.

"Really?"

"Yeah,"

Anna- Rita and James fell asleep in each-others arms. There they knew that they were safe. What they did not know of was the drama that would happen in the days to follow.
