Thank you to everyone to continues to take the time to leave feedback. It means more than you know. I appreciate all who review/follow/favorite. I am doing my best to update as often as I can, but with many stories in progress, it is difficult. I will NOT abandon or forget this story. It just may take time to update, so please don't abandon this story because I won't. To answer your questions (if I accidentally miss any, leave them in the next review, and I will make sure I answer them)...*Christian618: You asked me to not put the names of the characters. I didn't know what you meant. I PM'd you about it, but I didn't hear from you. If you could clarify, that'd be great. If it's to not put the characters name at the beginning (for example: Kate: "You would think..." like I have it at the beginning of this chapter), I'm sorry, I can't do that as we need to know who is speaking. If it's not that, please clarify. Thanks! *Northshorex02: I enjoyed the movie, but I agree the movie did leave out some parts from the book. Hopefully the sequel goes more by the book. I bought the movie and have watched it a few times. I'm guessing even though there was sex/nudity in it, the producers/screenwriters felt like it'd be too graphic to put the rest of the scenes from the book in the movie. But the movie is rated R so you'd think the scenes would've been put in. lol. *Nightingale: I'm sorry it's hard to read my story. As for your request for me to change the format, I'm sorry but I can't do that. I write this way for all my stories and it's all I know how to write. If it causes you to stop reading, I will understand, but I won't stop how I write. *Rustyarbor50: I will make Jose suffer. lol. It just may take time storyline wise to do it. Thanks for reading/reviewing. *Guest: No, in my story, Christian is not a dominant nor is Ana a submissive (like the book). In my story, he did have a relationship with Elena (in this story, her last name is Robinson) and it left him heartbroken. He is struggling to move on as in this story (and in the movie), he doesn't do relationships and his first attempt at one didn't end well, but so far in my story, that's as far as it goes. He is also a ruthless business man, so I guess that's another similarity between my story and the book. Hope that answered your questions. *amysuer: I loved the movie too. Thanks for leaving feedback.

Title: FSOG: From Heartbreak to Happiness?

Summary: Ana and Christian both suffered heartbreak from their last relationship with other people. Christian from his first attempt at one and Ana after getting cheated on. Once they meet, it's obvious there's a spark. But the question is, can they conquer their fears of getting hurt again?

Chapter 5

Kate: "You would think we would have heard on the applications we sent by now."

(Ana looks at her friend weirdly before laughing)

Ana: "Kate, we just mailed them yesterday. I would imagine that it takes longer than one day for all our applications to reach their destinations."

Kate: (shrugs) "Can I help it if I'm impatient?"

Ana: (laughs) "That you definitely are, Kavanagh."

Kate: (glares at Ana) "And what are you, if I may ask?"

(Ana smiles in hopefulness and shrugs at Kate)

Ana: "Determined?"

Kate: (scoffs a little) "You are, huh?"

Ana: "I would like to think I am."

Kate: "You are determined when you put your mind to something, I'll give you that, Steele."

(Ana rolls her eyes playfully as she shakes her head)

Ana: "Oh, you're too kind, my dear."

Kate: (shrugs) "I try." (sighs) "I need to clear my head. I'm going out for a jog."

Ana: (offers) "Need some company?"

Kate: "I'm good. Thanks, though."

(Kate goes to her bed and comes out minutes later in a jogging outfit. Her hair is up in a ponytail with her black tennis shoes on. Ana goes to her friend and smiles)

Ana: "Are you ready to sweat?"

Kate: (scoffs slightly) "Trust me, woman, I'll be doing a lot of that. I've had a lot of frustrations build up lately that needs to be ran off."

Ana: (nods & smiles) "Enjoy your run."

Kate: (nods) "I will."

(Kate grabs her mp3 player and headphones before leaving the apartment. Ana sighs deeply as she thinks aloud)

Ana: "What I wouldn't give to be an intern at Christian Grey's company." (tilts her head) "I know the Christian I met and the Christian Grey has the same first name, but I highly doubt they're the same person." (hopeful look) "Could it?"

(Ana shakes her head as she squashes such thoughts)

Ana: "No, that's ridiculous. There must be hundreds of men by the name Christian. No way they would be the same." (confused) "Could they?" (sighs) "Ana you need to stop thinking that." (scoffs) "Besides, that guy was an ass." (smiles briefly) "At first, but when he saw me in pain, he seemed to care. I'm kind of surprised by that considering he didn't know me and he was an arrogant jerk." (puzzled) "So, why do I feel somewhat of a soft spot for him? This man that I barely know and I don't even know his last name."

(Ana shakes her head and silently chuckles)

Ana: "I'm sure he has forgotten all about me anyway. So, I need to forget about him."

(Just as she is about to pull out a book to read from the bookshelf, one that she has been meaning to read for the last couple of weeks, her cell phone rings. She gets up and walks to her phone, which is on the kitchen table and answers it)

Ana: "Hello?"

Woman: "Hi. Is this Anastasia Steele?"

Ana: "This is she."

Woman: "Hi, Anastasia. My name is Courtney from Christian Grey Enterprises. Mr. Grey asked me to call you and respond to your application for internship he received today."

(Ana smiles in excitement but clears her throat to calm herself)

Ana: "Yes, Courtney, I sent him my application. Thank you for calling me to let me know."

Courtney: "Well, the reason I'm calling you is because Mr. Grey was impressed with your application and he was wondering if you would be willing to meet with him for an interview?"

Ana: "That would be great, Courtney. Thank you."

Courtney: "Do you have any prior commitments the day after tomorrow that you need to tend to?"

Ana: "No, ma'am. Whenever he is available to meet with me is fine."

Courtney: "Okay. How about 1pm? Christian usually goes on his lunch break at noon, so would one o'clock work?"

Ana: "That would be lovely, Courtney. Thank you."

Courtney: (cheerfully) "You're welcome, Miss Steele. Come to the first floor and I'll waiting at the front desk. If by any chance I am away at the moment, the guard by the desk always knows where I am."

Ana: "Sounds good."

Courtney: "I know he is eager to meet with you as he was impressed with your resume as well."

Ana: (chuckles slightly) "Thank you for saying that, Courtney. It means a lot. I look forward to meeting the infamous Christian Grey."

Courtney: (chuckles) "Sounds good. Take care, Miss Steele."

Ana: "Ana, please."

Courtney: "No problem, Ana."

(They say their goodbyes before hanging up. Ana smiles brightly as she puts her phone down and jumps up and down in excitement)

Ana: "Oh, my god! I can't believe I have an interview with Christian Grey the day after tomorrow! I just hope it goes well as he sounds very serious." (chuckles softly) "Bring it on, Mr. Grey."

(While Kate is jogging, she sees the person she now hated the most in this god forsaken city. The guy who hurt her best friend. The guy who claimed to love Ana. Rage overcame her and she narrowed her eyes as she came to a complete stop. Not once taking her eyes off her target. As they were getting closer to her, she looked around and sighed thankfully that there weren't too many joggers. She knew there would be witnesses for her outburst on the jackass, but it's not like fists would be flying. Just some very angry words that a child should definitely not overhear. As the person comes closer to her, they slow down before stopping completely a few feet in front of Kate. They fidget and try to avoid eye contact, but it's pointless as Kate makes it hard to do so. She breaks the silence and smiles politely, a little too politely, for their liking)

Kate: "Going for a jog, Jose?"

Jose: (nods nervously) "Yeah. I see you are, too."

Kate: (shrugs) "I needed to run off my frustrations." (narrows her eyes) "Frustrations that are pissing me off."

Jose: (gulps nervously) "Sounds like I'm part of those frustrations."

(Kate folds her arms and tilts her head as she raises her eyebrows)

Kate: "Oh, yeah? How do you figure that?"

(Jose turns away from her and rolls his eyes, clearing his throat, and looks back at her)

Jose: "Like I told her, I'm sorry for what I did. It was a mistake."

Kate: (raises her eyebrows) "A mistake, huh? You're only sorry you got caught?"

Jose: (defensively) "No! I'm truly sorry! I feel really bad!"

Kate: (shrugs) "I don't know, Jose. I think you're only sorry because you were still hoping to get Ana in the sack." (scoffs) "Trust me, man, THAT, will never happen."

Jose: (scoffs) "I already know that. I was with her a year and nothing happened so I came to the conclusion it never would."

Kate: (shakes her head) "You have no respect for women, do you?"

Jose: (puzzled) "What do you mean?"

Kate: (scoffs in disbelief) "Oh, please, Jose! You never had any respect for her otherwise you wouldn't have demanded sex. When she told you she wasn't ready, she meant it. You're just a fucking dog who looked elsewhere being you couldn't get any from her. Thank god she never slept with you because I highly doubt she would've enjoyed it."

(Jose looks at her angrily)

Jose: "Bitch."

(Kate raises her eyebrows and smiles slightly in amusement)

Kate: "Truth hurts, doesn't it? Face it, you were never good enough for her." (sighs) "I honestly thought you were a good guy who cared for Ana, but you showed your true colors when she needed to see you for who you really were...which is a low life, jackass who only wanted sex." (tilts her head) "Tell me something, Jose, was it worth it in the end? You know, the sex from a poor innocent woman just to satisfy your needs when you knew full well your girlfriend wasn't ready?"

(Jose takes a step closer to her with his hands balled up in a fist and looks at her with a pissed off face)

Jose: "You're a fucking bitch, you know that, Kavanagh? Maybe if Ana would've put herself out there more, we wouldn't be where we are now."

Kate: "Oh, where would that be, huh? With you dumped on your ass because you fucked up royally? Ana can make up her own mind, but for her sake, I hope she kicks your ass for what you did to her." (chuckles) "I would pay front row seats to see that." (raises her eyebrows) "You're nothing. A loser who will get nowhere in life because you fucking screwed up the one decent thing you had going for you. You have no one to blame but yourself."

(Jose stares at Kate for what felt like forever before he finally broke the silence)

Jose: "Ana may have ended our relationship because of my one mistake, but I highly doubt she will find someone who will treat her any better than I did. As a matter of fact, I pity the guy who puts up with her next."

Kate: "Whoever the next guy is will be a hell of a lot better than you...and you damn well know it. Face it, you're a lost cause. Good luck on trying to find someone you feel is better than Ana because there will never be another woman better than Anastasia Steele."

(Kate smirks in satisfaction before jogging past him. Jose turns around and shakes his head in anger)

Jose: "This ain't the last time you have seen me, Kavanagh, not by a long shot. Payback's a bitch and you and your 'perfect' friend will get what's coming to you when you least expect it. That's a promise."

(At Christian's condo, Gail is doing some cleaning when she hears a knock at the front door. She looks towards the direction of the door briefly before setting down her rag and walks to the door. She looks through the peephole to see who it is. Gail groans softly before there's another knock. She is about to walk away when the person on the other side of the door speaks)

Elena: "Gail, I know you're there. I know you're cleaning today and besides, I saw your shadowed feet on the floor. I'm not leaving so you might as well open the door."

Gail: "Christian's not here."

Elena: "I know that. I'm here to see Taylor. Before you say he's not there, I saw his vehicle outside so I know he is."

(Before Gail can say another word, she hears a familiar voice from a few feet away)

Taylor: "Let her in."

(Gail quickly turns her head to face Taylor and lowers her voice)

Gail: "Are you sure? I can call someone to make her leave."

Taylor: "No, I'm okay. You can let her in. I didn't have my say with her yet." (amused) "And I'm looking forward to it." (nods) "You're fine, Gail. I will tell Mr. Grey what happened when I see him so he is aware of it."

Gail: (nods) "As you wish."

(Taylor nods before Gail opens the door, letting Elena in. She gives Gail a dirty look, which Taylor notices)

Taylor: "You do that one more time, Elena, and I will physically remove you myself from Mr. Grey's place."

Elena: "I'm surprised he lets you invite people in when he's not here."

Taylor: "He trusts me a hell of a lot more than he does you and for the record, I do some work here as well. Now, what did you need?"

(Elena glances at Gail before facing Taylor again)

Elena: "Does she need to be in the same room?"

Taylor: (to Gail) "Thank you, Gail. I will let you know if I need you for anything else."

Gail: (nods) "Sounds good. I will continue my previous cleaning."

(Gail walks away, leaving Taylor to bring Elena into the living room. She takes a seat on the couch and Taylor continues to stand as he folds his arms a few feet in front of her)

Elena: "You can sit on the couch, too, you know. I don't bite."

Taylor: "I'm fine where I'm at. Say what you need to say."

(Elena looks down briefly and deeply sighs before facing him)

Elena: "I'm sure Christian told you about my decision to go back to Lincoln."

Taylor: (shrugs) "He mentioned it, yes."

Elena: "Did he also tell you I still love him and care for him deeply?"

Taylor: (shrugs) "What does it matter if you went back to your ex?"

Elena: "Well, I was hoping him and I could still be friends."

Taylor: (raises his eyebrows) "Was that before or after you broke his heart?"

(Elena closes her eyes and sighs sadly before looking at him again)

Elena: "I never meant to break his heart."

Taylor: "It doesn't matter whether or not you meant to. The point is, you did. If you think he'll forgive you, you're very much mistaken."

Elena: "That's where you come in, I'm hoping."

Taylor: (puzzled) "Excuse me?"

Elena: (hopeful look) "Would you be willing to talk to him? I know he listens to you, Taylor."

(Taylor looks at her with a surprised look. At 'Christian Grey Enterprises', Christian is looking out the window in his office)

Christian: "The view is outstanding."

(His thoughts are interrupted when there's a knock on his office door. He tells the person to come in, revealing Courtney. She walks towards him as she speaks)

Courtney: "I called Anastasia Steele earlier. She was available for the interview with you the day after tomorrow." (chuckles) "She sounded excited."

Christian: (chuckles) "I'm sure she is. Her application and resume were very impressive. I've looked at a lot of great applicants, but I enjoyed hers the most."

Courtney: "Well, I'm sure she'll do fine." (amused) "Just try not to intimidate her too much where you'll scare her away."

(Christian turns halfway around and smirks innocently)

Christian: "When do I do that to people?"

(Courtney tilts her head and smiles in amusement)

Courtney: "Do you really want me to answer that?"

(Christian playfully rolls his eyes at her smirks)

Christian: "Thank you, Courtney, for your endless sarcasm."

(Courtney tilts her head once again and shrugs, as she can't hide her smile)

Courtney: "I aim to please."

(Courtney turns around and leaves the office, shutting the door behind her, leaving Christian to admire the view yet again. He smiles a little as he speaks)

Christian: "We will meet soon enough, Miss Anastasia Steele. Will you blow me away with your endless knowledge? I look forward to it."

Chapter 5 Done
