Ryan turned around and started to walk away. I got up and started to run after him.

"Ryan, stop."

He stopped and turned around so fast that I almost ran into him.

"What?"

"What do you think I am Donna? I'm not a toy; I can't be used and thrown away when you're done with me."

"I know but what do you expect from me? Do you seriously expect a real relationship from me?"

"Actually, yes I did."

"Well, you were mistaken. I'm not your girlfriend, I will never be your girlfriend, do you understand?"

"Then what was this then?"

"Fun, Trey, its just fun…"

"Donna…?"

I look up and see Ryan staring at me. I look around and see that I'm sitting on the beach alone.

"Where's Alex?"

"She's still at the Bait Shop, why?"

"But she was just here…"

"No, no one was here; we are the only ones here."

"No, she was right here, sitting next to me. I remember, I ran out of the Bait Shop and ended up here. I sat down right here and took off my boots. Then Alex came and started talking to me and then she kissed me. Then you saw us and ran off."

"I think your drunk…"

He bent down, grabbed my arm by I shook him off.

"No I'm not. Fuck, I am not going crazy Ryan! She was right here"

"I never said you were crazy…"

"Ryan please, she was right here."

She falls over into the sand and starts crying. I sit next to her and hold her in my arms.

"Does it really matter if she was here?"

She jumps up and starts to become frantic.

"Yes it does, people just don't disappear Ryan! I know she was here and now you think I'm crazy! I'm not crazy Ryan, I'm not!"

I try to walk closer to her to calm her down but every step closer she takes a step back.

"No! This isn't happening…its all a dream, I'm going to wake up any second now and I'm going to be back home in Jersey. You're not real and Trey isn't real and Scarlett isn't…"

She stumbles and I catch her right before she falls. She looks straight into my eyes and says,

"Ryan, please help me…please…"
