a/n here we go again! Sorry if it's kinda bad… I tried my best. Big thanks to HardyGurl21, BourneBetter67, KatieKazam, NellyLove, darkangelmel & gothicxxbitchxxfromxhell for reviewing! Six reviews, down from nine! :O lol, nah that's cool.

"Man, if you don't break up with Taryn, I am going to tell her what you are planning to do. It's driving me insane and she doesn't deserve this." Jake said to his friend who was concentrating on a piece of paper with everything Kylie had told them written on it.

"I'm going to man! I just have to make sure Madison still wants me."

"Are you insane? What would make her change her mind?"

"That I got engaged… That I haven't broken it off… She's changed her mind! She went to freaking California. She went home. She swore she'd never go back. She's changed her mind."

"If you hadn't been there to stop her marrying Matt… She'd be in North Carolina. Maddie wouldn't have gotten through most things if you hadn't been there! Stop making excuses, it's getting old. Just break off the engagement, then go get Madison. It'd make everyone's life easier." Jake said as he walked out of Evan's house, slamming the door behind him.

"You did what?!" Madison growled at her sister.

"I wanted to help!"

"So you called Evan and told him to come get me? How is that helping?!"

"I didn't plan on telling him to come and get you! You should have heard how excited he was when he answered the phone! He thought it was you!"

"How did you even know to call him?! We didn't talk about him til late last night!"

"I went through your calls and stuff…" she shrugged.

"Why? Why would you do that?" Madison asked, her voice softening, "He's not going to come, but I'm going to have high hopes that he does! And when he doesn't I'm going to be even more heartbroken!"

"I was just trying to help."

"You've tried helping before… And it hasn't worked." Madison sighed, standing up and walking to the door, "I'm totally going to a hotel… I knew it was a mistake coming here. I just set myself up for more disappointment even thinking about coming here." She said with a sad face.

-

Evan wasn't going to let Jake get to him, even if he knew it was the right thing to do. He wanted his best friend back, he really did. He just didn't want to hurt Taryn. She'd been so nice to him, and accepting of the fact that Madison did interrupt there wedding. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. But in the end it was something he knew he had to do.

"I gotta do it… I really do." He mumbled to himself, picking up his phone, dialling his fiancée's number.

"Evan! Where have you been? Why haven't you called me back?" she asked, absolutely delighted to hear from him again.

"Sorry. I've been really busy." He told her, not really lying.

"Of course… I've missed you." She said, and he knew it was the truth.

"I've missed you too. I want you to come to St Louis for a couple of days."

Maddie looked up at the flickering 'Motel' sign. She gritted her teeth. What the hell am I doing? She asked herself, I could be warm. In an actual house. With family. But no. I had to have a go at my sister for trying to help me. Fan-fucking-tastic Madison! She thought sarcastically. With a deep breathe she walked into the reception area of the motel. The man at the counter looked her up and down, and then licked his lips. Madison cringed and reluctantly stepped up to the desk.

It took her half an hour before the man actually gave her a room, after he had shamelessly flirted with her, made sexual innuendos and blatantly asked her if she wanted to share a bed with him. Maddie felt so dirty afterwards, she still felt like she was being undressed with his eyes, even after she was in the motel room. She felt uneasy being in the same area as the sleazy man. She was thinking about having a shower, but changed her mind after she thought about the possibilities of him having installed cameras to please his dirty mind. She got under the covers of the bed, and changed under there. She wasn't going to risk anything. After changing into a pair of shorts and a loose t-shirt, she tried to go to sleep. But her mind kept wandering off. Kylie was only trying to help… I really shouldn't have been so hard on her… Then she looked at her phone, she wanted to speak to him so badly. But at the same time, she knew it would only lead to more heartbreak.

-

Taryn stared at her now ex-fiancé in tears. He hadn't said it exactly, but she knew it was because of Madison. Evan looked undoubtedly sorry, Taryn knew he didn't want to do this, but she also knew that he was never going to stop loving Madison. Taryn said nothing the entire time she was there. She kept her eyes trained on the wall behind Evan, to make it look as though she was looking at him, even if she was staring at the bookcase. Once he was done, she nodded twice and turned to leave. She didn't want to make herself look like a fool and just stand there once he was finished, the blonde knew that if she opened her mouth nothing would come out, and she'd just be standing there with her mouth open. Once she was out the door she wiped away her tears. She had to remain strong, and she didn't want to be blinded when she drove to a hotel.

-

Evan rubbed the back of his neck as he watched Taryn walk out the door. He'd almost married that girl, and she didn't even put up a fight. There was no doubt that he still harboured feelings for the small brunette. He had everything planned now, everything was set. All Evan had to do now was go to California and get her back. But he knew that would be a struggle, Madison would put up a fight, even if she still loved him. It's how she was. Bourne wasn't going to give up though; he was going to fight for her, like he should have done 10 years ago.

a/n, also, if anyone has seen my best friend, XODaniOX, then please tell her to come back to earth and ask her to review. Where are you?!
