Stark, Zoey, Stevie Rae, Rephaim, Erik, Damien and Roxanne cleaned up the theatre and discussed their creative plans for the play. They all thought everything was coming together nicely, but something was missing. "Nyx," Damien said.

"What about her?" Stevie Rae asked.

"That's what we're missing in the play. We talk about her and everything, but there are no tangible aspects of her," he said smiling at Erik.

"You want to write Nyx into the play?" Erik asked.

"Yeah we can do it fairly easy and it would give the play the effect you were looking for."

"Damien, we're already tight casting who do you think will play Nyx?" Erik asked. Damien looked over at Zoey who was on the stage running a lighting check with Stark. "I don't think we should do that it's too big of a risk," he said.

"She'd be great and you know it," Damien protested.

"That's not what he means," Roxanne said knowing where Erik was coming from. "If you guys write in this part and just had it over to Zoey someone is bound to be unhappy," she said as nicely as she could.

"Someone," Erik laughed. "Basically every girl in the class would be," he said being blunt.

"How about a last minute school wide audition?" Damien asked.

"Zoey wouldn't try out for this part, she refused to do anything non-tech," Erik said.

"She'd do a run throw first and we could ambush her with the part if we don't find anyone better," Damien aid coming up with a brilliant plan.

"Fine," Erik said. "Who's rewriting the script?" he asked.

"I'll have it to you in the morning," Damien said. Erik knew this was going to go bad.

*********************************Roxanne**************************************************

When Erik asked me to marry him I assumed he meant sometime in the far away future. "I can't believe you did this," I yelled at him. We were having a normal dinner. Well he insisted on cooking it and having candles and stuff. Then he pulls out this huge rock. I mean it was beautiful. The blue heart shape gem was set in a rose gold band with diamond trimming.

"You don't like it," he asked shocked.

The jerk knew I'd love it, and his conceited self, made sure the gems were the same color as his eyes. "It's beautiful, but we can't do this now. Aphrodite would die if she knew we were going this far."

"You said you wanted to be my wife," he said reminding me that I conspired in this madness.

"I know what I said, and I didn't mean it quite this literally," he stood up and grabbed me by the hand.

"If you're not willing to do it now than when will you? I love you and we deserve this," he smiled and eased the ring on my finger making the no on my lips dissolve.

"Prince Charming why are you so amazing?" I asked and he let out an embarrassed chuckle.

"Because there's a certain maiden I'm trying to impress," he said brushing my hair behind my ear and kissing me. "I'll never love anyone the way I love you."

"My dad is going to kill me," I said as I looked down at my ring. There was a knock on the door that interrupted Erik's response. "I guess Stark finally learned how to properly use a door," I said going to answer it.

"Miss me?" Miles asked standing in the door way of my crazy vampire school.

"What are you doing here?" I yelled at him.

"It's movie night remember, A Sandl-athon," he said reminding me.

"I'm sorry I totally forgot," I said holding the door open for him. I knew Erik wasn't going to like this, but we were in my loft so there was no way he could kick Miles out.

"Hey Erik's here," he smiled at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Miles," Erik smiled at him then looked at me. Miles was putting in the first movie. "Why is he here we're on a date. Like a very private pivotal date," he said.

"I promised we'd watch old Adam Sandler movies together. He's my best friend and we don't do fun things together anymore," I smiled and kissed Erik. "We'll just watch a few movies and then he'll be gone, and I'll thank you for the amazing gift," I said against his lips before biting his bottom lip.

"You're not fighting fair," he said squeezing me tighter.

"It wouldn't be this much fun if I did," I said sitting next to Miles on my sofa. Miles wrapped his arm around my shoulder and start the movie.

"It's weird how she ends up with the best friend hun?" Miles asked me at the end of The Wedding Singer.

"He knows her the best, and he's not an ass-in-the-box," I said making him laugh.

"Nice," Erik smiled at Miles from my left.

"Is there a problem?" Miles asked leaning over me.

"No there's no problem other than you hitting on my fiancé," he yelled.

"Fiancé?" he yelled and looked between the two of us.

"Tada," I said showing him my ring and watching him get pissed. Erik loved his reaction.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked me.

"I would've later," I reassured him.

"You guys can't do this," He yelled at me.

"Why can't we?" Erik asked.

"She knows," he said putting me on the stop.

"What is he talking about?" Erik asked looking between us.

"Tell him. And if you can't do it maybe you shouldn't marry him," Miles said. I knew he was talking about Isis, but he was also insinuated a lot of crap.

"Miles I think you should go," I said taking the glasses of wine from the table to the kitchen.

"What aren't you telling me?" Erik asked noting my unwillingness to deal with Miles.

"Nothing," I said clearing the table, and blowing out the candles.

"Tell me," he whispered so softly I knew only a vampire could've heard the desperation in his voice.

"I love you," I said kissing him.

"What did you do?" he asked knowing something big was wrong.

"Nothing, not what you're thinking," I said holding his gaze.

"Get him out of here," he said taking the plates from me and doing the dishes.

"Okay," I said going to help Miles get his things.

"Thanks a lot for ruining the story of my engagement," I said giving him his messenger bag.

"You can cut me out of it like you do any other time," he yelled at me.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I yelled following him to the door.

"Ever since Erik wormed his way back into your life I've been completely cut out of it," he yelled at me. That was totally untrue.

"I'm sorry if you feel that way, but you'll always be my best friend. I care a lot about you Miles, and just because I love Erik, it doesn't make me care about you any less."

"I hope he doesn't break your heart again," he said then kissed my cheek. "I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too Miles." I said then closed the door. I looked over at Erik who was giving me the death glare. "What?" I asked.

"Why does he think I broke your heart? You weren't the one that got hit in the head with a textbook, and you weren't the one that got punched in the face," he yelled.

"Erik stop letting him get to you. We'll never be more than friends," I smiled at Erik. Miles was just a friend and Erik was the love of my life. They both occupied to different realms of my heart.

"What was he talking about earlier?" he asked me.

"Nothing he was just trying to get to you," I smiled and kissed him. "We're forever," I said leading him to my bedroom.

"You do realize we never finished our fight," Erik smiled at me from the other side of his desk. We were having Chinese food for lunch and doing music sound over in some scenes of the play.

"There's nothing to finish I said all I had too," I said eating my fried rice.

"Well I think you should make sure Miles knows the boundaries of your relationship with him," Erik said looking me dead in the eye.

"Are you serious?" I asked him. "Miles is just me friend. He was my only friend for a while after you got mark," I yelled at him.

"Is that why he slept with you and made you think he was interested in you all to turn around and have sex with Morgan," he yelled back at me. I wanted to be honest with Erik when I told him I slept with Miles. Never in a million years would I have guessed he'd use it against me like that.

"You want to know why Miles said you'd break my heart again. He said it because all the years you supposedly had feelings for me you kept sleeping with girl after girl, and telling me about how your so in love with this one, and how you couldn't live without that one. Never once did you stop and think about how much that hurt me. Then you want me to smile and pretend everything was great as you slowly broke my heart every day," I yelled back at him. We both stared at each other for a while not wanting to be the first to give up.

"I don't want to get hurt again," Erik said looking into my eyes like a wounded deer.

"I'm not Zoey I'm not going to hurt you," I yelled and his eyes widened. I turned to look behind me and there was Zoey…

Does this mean war between Zoey and Roxanne? Was Roxanne wrong for saying what she did? Please review.
