~Roxanne~

It was two in the afternoon and Erik was fast asleep, but something wasn't right. Roxanne just felt like something was wrong and she had no idea of what that was. Then there was a knock at her door. She slipped out of Erik's arms and answering the door. "What are you doing here?" I asked opening the door for Aurox.

"Your dad is coming back and your brothers said to find you," he said.

"If my dad was coming back he would have told me," I said grabbing my purse and taking Aurox back to my dad's.

"How are things with Heath?" I asked to see if Zoey talked to him like she promised she would.

"Better the farther away from Zoey I am the more control I have," he said making me feel sorry for him. It wasn't fair that Nyx put two souls in one body. Heath wanted to be with Zoey, and Aurox wanted to have true purpose. How was Aurox going to find his purpose if he's stuck as Heath pinning after Zoey?

"I'll find a way to get you guys separated. There has to be some way you can live and Heath can be with Zoey," I said.

"Heath said that's impossible," Aurox said laughing.

"Well no one asked Heath," I frowned. That kid got on my nerves.

"He said he doesn't need permission to share he's opinion," Aurox said annoyed.

"You know you don't have to listen to him."

"Trust me it's worst if I don't," he frowned.

"Why didn't you guys call and tell me they were coming back before today?" I asked my twin brothers. They were in the kitchen cleaning. Apparently someone made the maid quit.

"He wanted to surprise you," Davey shrugged.

"Yeah and he only wanted to get rid of your bastard," Danny added.

"Don't you dare talk about my daughter like that," I yelled at him. I knew he was only playing, but God why would you say something like that about your niece who you claim to love so much.

"Sorry, did you tell Erik he da baby daddy?" Danny asked.

"No I thought my dad was going to be away longer," I sighed sitting at the kitchen island.

"I think you should tell him before the wedding," Davey laughed.

"Heath said what wedding?" Aurox groaned.

"I'm getting married to Erik," I said showing off my super cool ring.

"He said Erik is a dickwad, what does that mean?" Aurox asked.

"It means he's a jerk and Erik's not really like that," I said.

"Whatever you say," Danny smiled at me.

"He's not," I sternly insisted.

"That's why he threw you into a row of lockers and never tried to contact you after knocking you up," Danny asked being all heroically angry.

"He doesn't know about Isis and that's my fault. Also he didn't mean to push me that hard, and the second it happened he was right by my side," I yelled.

"That's what all battered women say. Everything is their fault," Danny frowned.

"He doesn't beat on me, and if he did I'm sure I'd have some mark or scar," I yelled.

"You two fighting isn't going to get you anywhere," Davey said. "We need to find somewhere for Beautiful Mind to stay," they said referring to Aurox and Heath.

"Stop calling him that it's mean."

"Naming him Aurox was mean," Danny said making Davey laugh.

"Can he stay with you at Morgan's?" I asked Danny ignoring their laughter.

"Why can't he go to Miles's with Davey?" Danny asked.

"Miles is mad at me," I shrugged.

"Well the guy goes away for a month and you get engaged. If it were me I'd be mad too," Danny shrugged.

"I'm not into Miles. He's just a really good friend, and I swore he was into McKenzie," I said looking to Davey. "Was I crazy or did that look like something to you too?" I asked him.

"Miles can have a girl like McKenzie any time he wants to. He had one you and he wants that option back," Danny said like it was some football play.

"So I was the reserves," I asked.

"No you were his long term goal he didn't want to be in a long term relationship with yet," Aurox said scaring us.

"Was that Heath?" I asked him.

"No…" he said sounding freaked out.

"Wow he knows something useful," Davey smiled.

"They grow up so fast," Danny said wiping away fake tears.

"Can you call Morgan and make sure it's okay that Aurox stays with you guys," I rushed him.

"Fine," he said pulling out his phone and leaving Davey to clean the messy kitchen alone.

~Zoey~

Erik had been looking everywhere he could think of for Roxanne. She disappeared at some point while he was asleep. Beverly covered her classes, but he was getting worried by about four. Classes were over and we were running the play. Erik wasn't as focus as he usually was. He spent most of rehearsal looking through his phone and walking out to make calls.

"That was a good first run through," Damien said sounding a lot like Erik. "Todd you need to work on making me feel the pain from your dad kicking you out. Olivia your entrance was too soon. Aaron you did well with getting the emotion right in your first monologue but when you were talking to Olivia about your cousin not making it through the change, I didn't feel it. Everyone else good job, and let's run it from the top," Damien said.

When Erik came back we were finished rehearsal, and Damien, I, and the tech crew were the only ones left. "How did it go?" Erik asked looking in between the two of us.

"Good, Damien is spending way too much time with you," I said getting a smile out of Damien. "Is everything okay?" I asked after Erik didn't flinch at my joke.

"I don't know. I've called, texted, emailed, IMed-basically anything you can do to contact a person I've done. I even thought about using the on star to find out where her car is. She'd probably think I'm a crazy stalker," Erik groaned. "I really can't believe she'd just leave like this and not say a damn thing."

"Damien we need you," Cole the lighting director said taking Damien away.

"I'm sure she's okay. She might have just left her phone somewhere," I said trying to comfort him. It sucked seeing Erik worry about Roxanne liked this. I worried about Heath and Stark all the time I knew exactly how he felt.

"I should pay more attention to the play. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. Roxanne's going to show up okay, and then we're going to get in a fight about how irresponsible she is, and then we're going to laugh at some lame joke she comes up with and everything will be like it was," he said in a big tyrant.

"Sounds like me and Stark," I laughed.

"I guess," he shrugged. "I just never felt the way she makes me feel with anyone. Well there was you, but that wasn't exactly this," he said trying to say something meaningful, but not knowing the right words.

"I won't take that personally," I said knowing that's how Roxanne would have responded. That drew out a laugh from him. "She's about as big of a Harry Potter nerd as you are a Stark Wars freak," I laughed at him.

"She brought me the Star Wars game for the Kinect," he laughed with me. It was weird how easy it was to talk with Erik and comfort him. I kind of liked it.

"Do you think we're moving too fast with the engagement?" he asked me.

I didn't know what I thought of it. They really did seem to love and understand each other, and they really wanted to spend eternity together. Yet some evil part of me still couldn't bear to see Erik happy with someone else. "My eyes say yes, but my head says no," I said trying not to lie, or let the green eye monster out of its cage.

Erik's phone buzzed with a text from Roxanne. "Sorry about that we need to talk-Roxy," he read out loud.

"Ask her where she's at," I urged him.

"She's on her way here," he said slamming his phone down. I knew Erik was mad because he had no idea of what was going on with his fiancé. They'd known each other for most of their lives and he had no clue of what was going on in her head. I knew the look on his face. I felt like that with Stark when he gets into one of his moods.

"Just let her explain, I'm sure something major came up," I smiled at him.

"Thanks Zo," he smiled at me.

"For what?" I asked.

"Being a really good friend to both of us, especially after everything"- he started but I cut him off.

"You and Roxanne are the really great ones, and that's why I'm good to you guys, because you deserve it," I shrugged at him.

"I just want to let you know that it means so much to me that you're really accepting of her. She's not good in the friend department. Unless it a weird guy, or chicks trying to hook up with me."

"Girls really did that?" I asked remembering Roxanne told me something like that.

"Yeah," he shrugged. "She's never had a really good chick friend to hang out with, unless my little sister counts,"-

"You have a little sister?" I asked never realizing how little I knew about Erik.

"Yeah Clara," he smiled.

"That's a pretty name Clara Night," I smiled.

"I never thought about that," he smiled.

"Well your parents did a good job," I laughed.
