Craig played his guitar weakly in the hotel room.

Leo shut off the T.V and walked over to him and sat down.

"Ok…" he began as he pulled the guitar away from Craig and set it down next to him.

"What's the matter? You haven't called Manny you haven't eaten anything since you've been here. Spill"

"Just friends" he muttered.

"What?" Leo asked confused.

Craig fell back on the bed and stuffed his face into a pillow.

"Ellie and I are only friends, she said so herself." He had finally cracked.

"So you do like her?" Leo smiled.

Craig lifted his face from the pillow.

"Yea Leo I do! And I wouldn't be miserable if it wasn't for you! You're the one who told Ellie how oh so horrible she was at drumming, that's the ONLY reason why the band and her aren't with me right now, because you only wanted me when I wanted them too! I could have-have practiced with her taught her how to be a better drummer you just wouldn't give me a chance! You wouldn't give the band a chance!"

"You're right, in my opinion they aren't any good and you are!" Leo screamed as he got into Craig's face.

"I'm NOTHING without my band! Don't you understand that? For my whole life it's been us, not Ellie…but Marco and Jimmy. They're rad I know they are and Ellie would've rocked if you just let me help her. If you wanted her."

"You mean…you're nothing without Ellie..." Leo said.

"What?" Craig asked confused as he started pacing back and fourth around the room.

"You said you're nothing without your band but did you really mean Ellie?"

"You know what Leo, you're right I'm in love with Ellie I love her ok, I love her I love her I love her. I love her so much it kills me each day to be here. I love her so much I don't even see Manny as my girlfriend. I love her so much that I want to be with her for a long time. Maybe not forever I don't know if I'm truly in love with her but I've never felt this way about a girl….everyday it hurts, you know how much I hurt when I talked to her on the phone that day…it was an indescribable pain and I don't know why it hurt so bad. It broke my heart when she didn't show up to say goodbye to me."

Leo sat back down. "Listen, you aren't going to be away from her forever, but if you didn't want to leave her in the first place then why did you?"

"She told me to do this." Craig sat down on the bed holding his head in his hands.

"Then Craig, make the best out of this, if Ellie wanted you to do this you should be happy you're doing it."

"I want her here with me."

"Well Craig," Leo said as he laid back on the bed.

"You're first task is to break up with Manny. Now how I don't know when it happens it happens but you never cheat."

"Yea I found that out."

"And the second step is; talk to Ellie."

Ring-Ring-Ring

"Awe and right in the middle of a good conversation" Leo said trying to be a smart ass.

"Hello?"

"Craig, it-its Marco."

"Hey buddy how is everything?"

"Craig...its Ellie..."

"What happened? What is it?"

"She sort of did something and…I can't tell you the rest you just need to get out here ASAP. Like fast."

"Ok, I'll be there soon."

Leo sat up, "What is it?"

"I have to go Leo, it's an emergency…something happened to Ellie…" Craig said starting to pack.
