FFW TO HOTEL

I walked through the hotel doors with my sunnies on and a load of bags – full of clothes I had worn today. Daniel said that as a thanks for being nice and easy to work with I could take some things home with me. I made my way to the elevator to get to my room. As I set the bags down my phone rang,

"Hello?"

"Hey girl!"

"John..." I said, giggling – he always greeted me with that on the phone,

"Hey Syd!"Ashley said,

"Am I on loud speaker again?" I asked, knowing the answer,

"Girl... you're always on loud speaker!" John said, before giggling – I giggled with him,

"What's he on?" I asked,

"He's high on Coke" Ashley replied, "Again!"

"Seriously... tell him to quite the coke and move onto Sprite" I replied, as the lift dinged. "One sec"

"Kay" the said in unison, as I put my phone in my pocket and picked up the bags – exiting the lift. I walked out and grabbed my phone, putting it back to my ear,

"Sorry about that, my hands are a little full" I said, walking slowly to my room,

"We catch you at a bad time?"

"Yeah, kinda..." I replied, "Just got back from the photo-shoot, and I got a load of clothes with me"

"Ohh! How was it?" Ashley asked,

"It was alright" I replied, finally reaching my room, "I'm gunna have to phone you back – otherwise I'm gunna have to find a way to grab my key and open the door with my hands full"

"Yeah that's ok" Ashley replied, "Speak in a bit biatch"

"In a bit biatchh" I laughed, ending the call. I dropped my bags and placed my phone back in my pocket and grabbing my key instead. I opened the door and dragged the many bags through – sitting them next to the sofa. I closed the door and searched the room for Randy. He wasn't here. I'll go look for him once I've packed these. I said to myself, grabbing my phone and ringing Ashley – putting her on loud-speaker.

"Hey" I shouted, picking up some bags from the other side of the room,

"Hey again" she replied, "Why are you shouting?"

"Oh I was on the other side of the room" I replied, "Your on loud-speaker, so I can pack up the extra clothes"

"Ahh right" she said, "So anyway... Did you have a good time at the photo-shoot?"

"Yeah! It was awesome Ash!" I replied, in an enthusiastic tone, "I've got loads of clothes from them as well"

"That is the best part of the photo-shoots... the clothes they give you... and for FREE!" Ashley squealed, "I can't wait for my next photo-shoot"

"Trust you" I replied, laughing,

"So what'd you get?" she asked,

"Too many things to say" I replied, folding things from the bags and placing them in my suitcase,

"Randy get anything?"

"Nah... he didn't stay long enough... he was to tired" I replied, "So I picked some things up for him... like this suit that he looks majorly fit in! And some nice Ed Hardy jeans"

"I would never pick stuff up for John! If he weren't there to get... he wouldn't get. End off" Ashley replied, laughing – as the sound of John shouting 'I heard that' in the back ground made me laugh,

"So... any reason you rang in the first place?" I asked, raising my eye-brows, knowing it was just for a chat – she was getting bored, stuck with Cena and his cars.

"No... Just wanted to see how the photo-shoot went and when your back" She replied, I knew it,

"Urmm... we leave tomorrow morning, another early start." I began, "We're flying to Tampa then going to Dave's until Saturday, then we're flying over to Michigan"

"Ahh... well, I'll phone you tomorrow or summin... I'm guessing you got a lot of packing to do"

"Yeah... I have"

"Alright, see ya later hun"

"Later" I replied, as the call ended. I locked my phone and continued on my packing.

FFW 15 MINUTES

I'd finished packing up all the clothes and decided to go look for Randy. I grabbed my phone and key before leaving the room.

As I reached the lobby, I decided he'd either be in the gym, the swimming pool or the restaurant. I made my way over to the main desk,

"Hey" I said, grabbing the man's attention,

"Hey... how can I help?" he asked, smiling,

"I was just wondering where the gym was" I replied, smiling "Ohh... and the pool"

"Well the gym is near the pool..." he replied, "So if you walk down this hallway here" he continued, pointing to his left, "Then follow it, you'll come to cross roads – left is the gym and right is the indoor pool. If you go towards the indoor pool, just follow the doors outside for the outdoor pool" he finished, resting his hands back down on the desk, "Hope that helps"

"Yeah thanks" I replied, walking off down the hallway he'd pointed out...

FFW 10 MINUTES

So I'd tried the gym (which is huge) and both the indoor and outdoor pool (again, which were huge) and there was no Randy. I was making my way towards the restaurant when my phone beeped. I unlocked it to find someone had tweeted me. I ignored it and continued to look for Randy. I walked past the bar, glancing in, before continuing to walk. I stopped and turned around – walking back towards the bar. Randy was sat by the counter swirling his drink around in the cup, I approached him,

"Hey..."

"Hey" he replied, still focused on the glass,

"What's wrong?" I asked, looking at him – worried,

"I just need to sort my head out" he replied, still focusing on the drink in his hand,

"Randy..." I said, grabbing his chin – making him look at me, "You can tell me"

"It's nothing!" he said, pulling his head from my grip,

"Ok, ok..." I replied, "I'm going back up to the room to pack. You can talk to me when you're ready" I finished, before walking off.

Randy's P.O.V

"Another... and make it a double" I said, paying the bar tender. He made my drink and passed it to me, I took a sip before swirling it around, focusing on the cup,

"Hey..." I heard Syd say,

"Hey" I replied, still focusing on the glass,

"What's wrong?" she asked, sounding worried,

"I just need to sort my head out" I replied, my eyes still focused on my drink,

"Randy..." Syd said, grabbing my chin and pulling my head towards her, "You can tell me"

"It's nothing!" I replied, pulling my head from her hands,

"Ok, ok..." she replied – like she'd given up, "I'm going back up to the room to pack. You can talk to me when you're ready" – she was gone. I sipped some more of my drink, before placing it down on the counter. I stared down at the counter as a tear fell... why her? What did she do to deserve this? Why didn't I even know? They shouldn't have hid this from me! I said to myself, as I roughly wiped my eyes.

FFW TWO HOURS

Syd's P.O.V

I was placing the last of Randy's clothes in the suitcase when I heard the door handle click. I looked over to the door to see Randy walking through, I smiled. He walked straight to the bathroom... No hello, no nothing. Had I done something wrong? I zipped the suitcase shut and threw it on the floor next to mine. I kneeled down next to my suitcase and picked out my clothes to travel in tomorrow. I grabbed my dark denim hot-pants, my grey 'let's ride' low slung skull vest and my pair of black lace up plimsolls. I placed them on the table with my Black Ed Hardy "Dragon" Chinese Print Satchel Hand Bag and my black Ladder Stitch Boy Cardi.

I looked over to the bathroom door, Randy still hadn't come out. I grabbed the phone and walked over to the bathroom door, Randy loves his food... Maybe ordering dinner will get him out of there. I thought to myself as I knocked on the door. "Randy..." I shouted... there was silence, "Babe... I'm ordering tea... you want anything?" I finished... no answer. "Randy..." I said again, "Randy, please answer me!" "No I don't want anything!" he shouted back – his voice sounded choked up. Like he was crying, "Babe... are you okay?" I asked, "You sound upset" "I'm fine!" he shouted back, "Well, come out then" I shouted back, "No" he said, "Why not?" I asked, getting really worried. He didn't answer... I sighed, "Ok, ok... I'm phoning for tea, come out when you're ready"

He was really worrying me now. Something must have happened; otherwise he wouldn't be blocking me out.

"Hello... I would like to order room service please"

"Sure... what's the room number?"

"Room 390"

"Ok... and what would you like?"

"Could I get two burgers and chips, one with coke and one with water please"

"Sure, that'll be about 30 minutes"

"Ok... thank you"

"You're welcome" the man said, as I ended the call. I looked over to the bathroom door and sighed.

FFW AN HOUR

Room service had been delivered and I'd eaten my tea. Randy's was still sat on the room service table thing. I'd changed into my bikini – as it was still sunny outside, so I thought I'd go sunbathe for a bit – get out of the room and out of Randy's way. Give him some time to himself. I grabbed a piece of paper and began to write a letter to Randy...

Going to the poolside to catch some last minute sun. There's a burger and coke on the table with your name on it Please eat something... you're worrying me! I'm here to talk if you need to, but please, don't stay in there all night. I'll be back in an hour, hour and a half and I expect to see that food eaten ;) If not... there's gunna be trouble :L Love you, Syd xxx

I placed the pen on the side table and slid the note underneath the bathroom door before grabbing my towel, key and phone then leaving...

Randy's P.O.V

I could hear Sydney walking about outside. A noise of paper ruffling made my look towards the door. She'd slid a note to me. I crawled across the floor towards the note and heard the hotel room door slam. I sighed and sniffed. I picked the note up and read it...

Going to the poolside to catch some last minute sun. There's a burger and coke on the table with your name on it Please eat something... you're worrying me! I'm here to talk if you need to, but please, don't stay in there all night. I'll be back in an hour, hour and a half and I expect to see that food eaten ;) If not... there's gunna be trouble :L Love you, Syd 3 xxx

I laughed and smiled. Even though I hadn't asked her too, she'd still ordered me tea. She can't stand to see me hurt. She wanted me to talk to her, but I just couldn't speak about it. I was still upset myself. I stood up and opened the bathroom door to find the room empty. I walked over to the table and grabbed my tea...

FFW 15 MINUTES

I finished my tea and decided to go find Sydney. I grabbed my key and left the room, walking towards the elevator.

FFW 5 MINUTES

I walked towards the door of the outside pool. I opened the door slightly and I could hear Syd on the phone. I opened the door – quietly, so I could hear what she was saying, she sounded really upset,

"But dad! I feel like I've done something wrong!" I heard her say, sniffling, "I dunno what though!" she continued, I couldn't imagine what Dave was saying, "Well, do you know what might be wrong with him?" she asked, "Ok... will he know?" she asked, again. She thinks I'm pissed with her... when I'm not, "Ok... Love you too dad... See you tomorrow" she said, "Bye"
I heard her burst into tears, I couldn't take this anymore. I overheard her on the phone again, "Ash..." she said, I could hear her sniff, "is John there?" she replied, "No, I'm not ok" she continued, crying again, "John..." she said, "Do you know what's up with Randy?" she asked, "Coz he won't look at me, he won't talk to me! Have I done anything?" she asked, I couldn't stand anymore of this and walked back to the hotel room...
