So everyone who reviews this; you are awesome and thank you so so much! As promised part of the next chapter will be done in Roman's pov and you'll see more about Roman and Brittney's relationship. This chapter is smaller than others but it was just to set some things up. Let me know what you think about this chapter.

We got the the hotel and I followed Dean inside.

"Dean wait up." I called after him. He turned around and looked at me with an expressionless face.

"I'm sorry." I said

"I'm done hearing I'm sorry. I try to look out for you and you bitch at me and you think I'm sorry just fixes everything."

"I know, I'll try to stop. I'm sorry."

"Stop saying sorry when you do the same shit over and over again."

"Dean, "

"At this point find someone else to room with. I'm done with this shit." and with that he walked away to the counter to check in.

I turned around and Roman was standing there with a sympathetic look. I looked up at him and felt tears in my eyes.

"Come here" he said as he pulled me into a hug and rubbed his hand down my back. "It's okay, you two will be fine."

"He has never told me he was done before." I pushed my face into his chest and breathed deeply.

"He's just mad, you know that. He just needs some space."

"I guess so... I was supposed to room with him"

"Room with me" Roman said. I pulled back and looked up at him.

"Roman. We already said we weren't going to do that."

"Same room not the same bed. But if you don't want to that's fine you can always room with Eva or something." I rolled my eyes and hit him on the chest.

"I'll take you over Eva."

"Oh geesh thanks so much" he joked. "Come on" I followed him to the counter and we checked in and headed to the elevator to our room.

When we got to the room I walked to the bed by the window and collapsed on it. Roman walked to the other bed and put his stuff on it, then sat on the edge and faced me.

"What?"

"What was your fight about?"

I sat up and ran my hand through my hair. "Jason."

"Well what about him?"

"He was thinking about being a chef but he needs a GED and college . Well he can't afford it, or he is not sure he can so I said I'd loan him the money and he can pay me back whenever he can."

Roman took a deep breath and put his head down while shaking it. "Rox.. Why would you do that?"

"Because I care about him and it's his passion."

"If it's his passion why didn't he go after it? Why would he let something like a GED stand in his way? Why did you not hear about it at all before hand?" he took out his phone and did some typing before putting his phone away "the GED test is $23.75 per module in Vegas. If he can't afford that himself then he needs to fix his budget and start saving on his own. He can do scholarships and he can do loans from a bank"

"If he did it from the bank what if he can't pay it back right away? They go after him for collections when I'd be more understanding"

"Yeah so understanding you'd probably just find yourself out thousands of dollars and he wouldn't pay you back"

"He wouldn't do that okay?! You guys dont' know him!"

"Do you? Honestly."

I laid back down on the bed staring up at the ceiling not saying anything.

"Rox, I'm not telling you what to do, if you feel you can trust him and want to hand him all this money with no guarantee that he'll pay it back then go ahead but do me a favor?"

"What?"

"Tell him the GED test is cheap enough for him to pay for himself and tell him to look into scholarships and college loans from the bank, see how he reacts okay? I don't trust him and I'd feel better if you would do that."

I sat there quietly. "For me?" He asked.

"Fine. I'll bring it up tonight when I face time him."

"Good, i'm going to go shower."

Later that night Roman ordered us some room service while I went to facetime Jason.

He answered and he was wearing no shirt and his hair was a mess.

"Hey babe!" I smiled

"Hey Rox." he smiled back and ran a hand through his hair.

"How are you?"

"I'm good sweetie, I miss you though."

"I miss you too. So I did some research"

"Oh yeah about what?"

Just then someone knocked on the door and Roman went to get it.

"Shouldn't you get the door?" Jason asked when I didn't get up.

"Roman's getting it, anyway-"

"Wait..Roman? You're rooming with Roman?"

"Yeah.. Dean and I were going to but he got mad at me and told me he was done..."

"Oh baby girl I'm sorry what was it about?"

"It doesn't matter right now I don't want to talk about it."

Roman walked back in the bed room and handed me my food.

"Hey Roman" Jason said. Roman rolled his eyes but put on a fake smile and moved in front of the camera "Hey Jason, what's up?"

"Same old same old, watch out for MY girl over there alright?" He put emphasis on my and Roman backed away from the camera and went to his bed "Yup" he said and started eating.

"So what did you research Rox?"

"Oh yeah, I researched the GED and found out it's pretty affordable, pretty cheap actually so I figured you'd be able to afford that."

"How much is it?"

"A little less than 25 per module."

"Oh yeah I can get that."

"Good! And when it comes to college you can look up schloarships and maybe loans from the bank"

"So wait, you don't want to help me anymore?"

"No babe, I didn't say that I'm just saying like you have all these other options you can check into besides me lending you money ya know?"

"Uh I guess I could but why would I go through a bank if I could just get it from you?" I saw Roman glare at the phone.

"I was giving you options Jay, I mean a lot of people don't like money to get into their relationships and everything"

"Then why did you even offer it? I'm not going through a damn bank and risking being put on a payment plan I can't keep up with, when with you I wouldn't have a time limit or anything like that."

"No I get that I'm just sayi-"

"Where did this come from? You were so excited to help me now it seems you don't want to?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't help you babe.. I will if you need it okay? I just talked to Dean an-"

"Of course Dean! Why can't he just mind his own fucking business for once."

"This is the first time he ever got in your business Jay." I said while wiping a hand over my face.

"No actually if I remember right he was right there the first night we ever hung out."

"If you want to get technical he was the one who invited you inside so he was the reason we talked all night ya know?"

"He still doesn't need to be in my business. Why is your head so far up his ass? Are you kidding me right now?"

I just stayed quiet and looked down. I felt Roman staring at me and heard Jason mumble something.

"What?"

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Who were you talking to?"

"It doesn't matter I'm going out I'll talk to you later." with that he hung up face time and i let out a big breath of air and covered my face with my hands while laying back on my bed. I felt the bed weight shift and a hand on my forearm.

"Look at me." I kept my hands covering my face and felt Roman grab both my arms and pull them away from my face. I turned my face to the window and wouldn't make eye contact.

"Rox..look at me." I groaned and looked at him expecting to see him with a knowing face but instead he looked concerned.

"He was so mad." he just kept looking at me and I sat up. "Over money.. he didn't need to talk about Dean like that." Roman was running a hand up and down my arm. "Are you going to say anything?"

"I don't know what to say honestly Rox."

"You want to say I told you so or something"

"I just want you to really reconsider giving him money..or anything including a relationship. I just don't have a good vibe from him."

"He's just mad about Dean getting involved."

"He's mad Dean told you not to give him money. Do you not see what's wrong here really?" I just sat there quietly "He shouldn't be that mad that someone's friend told them not to give a guy they've known a couple months money. And someone else was there and he wouldn't tell you who. It's fishy."

"It was probably just a friend or something."

"Then why wouldn't he tell you?"

"Cause he was too mad..."

"You said you would still help him and he went off about having other options. Rox..you're not this naive what is going on?"

"I don't want to lose him. He makes me feel important and special...and first" I whispered the last part.

"So none of us make you feel important or special?"

"You do just not first. It's nice to feel first to someone and that's how he makes me feel."

"First to get money out of."

"He doesn't like me for my money!"

"No it just helps right?"

"Roman..stop."

"No. I'm not going to stop. I'm not going to sit here and watch you get taken advantage of. You're being naive."

"You know all about being naive Roman."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Just..you've been naive or blind to some things too."

"Like what?"

"Like... one of your friends had strong feelings for you and you didn't even notice."

"Who?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm just saying stop acting like you've never been 'naive' even though I'm not being naive okay?"

"Yeah you are."

"Whatever Roman." I laid back on my bed and he got up and went to his and started doing something on his phone. After a few minutes he cleared his throat. "Hey Rox?"

"What Roman?"

"You were the friend weren't you?"
