Hellooo everyone

Wow what a response the last chapter got, lots of anger towards little miss Ana hehe

Which I have to admit I wanted so even though it got you guys a bit peeved I want you to be a little annoyed with Ana , mainly because throughout the books I was constantly getting peeved off with her and her decisions so I wanted to bring that into my story as well.

I've also had a lot of comments about who people want to see play the villain and would like to announce that the final villain and their motives will be revealed very very soon. Thank you so much to everyone who has voted and I hope you agree with my choice.

Anyway on with the chapter, expect a big twist at the end hehe

Somewhere someone has turned on the music system and everyone is swaying slightly as they walk around the blown up shots of Seattle as Owl City plays in the background causing a laid back slightly clubish atmosphere, it fits Jose's work perfectly. But I can't appreciate the music because my eyes are locked on the fake invite in my left hand , my brain frantically trying to work out how Christian could have got this , because I know one hundred per cent that it wasn't through me.

"Ana say something" his voice is his usual commanding tone but there's a hesitation hidden beneath his calm exterior and I just know he's frantically trying to work this out as well.

"I need to use the bathroom" he seems taken aback before recovering and nodding quickly. I check that Jose is out of sight , now is not the time for him and Christian to have a testosterone filled battle , spotting him at the back talking to a leggy blonde , who looks weirdly familiar but I can't place her , I dart out from our little hiding spot and make my way to the bathrooms upstairs , Christian is hot on my heels and I spin around at the top of the stairs and face him "I don't need your help peeing Christian" he just groans and ignores me as he walks towards the ladies door "you are not coming in with me!"

"I'm going to wait here for you Anastasia, now hurry up and pee we have to talk to Taylor about all this" What why? And since when have we been a 'we' in this , it was only this afternoon I was telling him to leave me alone and now he's waiting outside the bathroom for me. Uhh this man is going to age me with the stress he causes.

"Fine, but only because I want to know who's pretending to be me, no other reason Mr Grey" I shoot him a pointed look before darting into the bathroom, just catching his smirk as he leans against the wall.

Once I'm inside the safety of the bathroom I finally let myself breathe deeply, feeling a mix of emotions rush over me as I lean against the sink. Who sent him that invite? Was it Jose? No he'd have told me, and anyway Jose can't stand Christian so for him to invite him to the biggest show of his career is a little farfetched. What I can't work out is why someone would want Christian to attend, yes he brings a lot of press with him but still they could have just invited him through his company, why go to the trouble of pretending to be me? Not just that but it must have been sent by someone who knows Christian and I are apart at the moment, and thankfully that is a very small list. A hard knock on the bathroom door startles me and I yelp a little, God you'd think I'd seen a ghost.

"Anastasia are you okay in there? You've been a while" there's no hiding his concern in his voice and weirdly it makes me smile that he's worrying about me. Maybe I have been too harsh, God knows he wants me back but when will I be ready? Only time will tell I guess.

"I'm fine. I'll be out in a moment" I take a deep breath and stare at my reflection , how strange that I've experienced so much since I met Christian yet my appearance shows none of my scars. They are all below the skin, messing up my emotions and reactions. No amount of make up or however beautiful the dress I will always be tainted by the events I've experienced. And it's all down to the beautiful man stood outside this very bathroom. A man who after all the shit I've put him through this past week still wants to be with me. Still loves me.

Suddenly my eyes are full of tears and I hold my head in my hands as my body wracks with sorrow. I've messed up so much by being a ridiculous drama queen! I just want to slap myself for the way I've acted. Yes he deserves my anger but not my attitude; this is after not his fault. Esmee came out of nowhere for god sake, he knew nothing about Tori, and yet I abandon him when he needs me the most!

But he needs to sort this stuff out and I just can't be there to watch it. I'm too weak, I try to be strong but it's hopeless. I will always be hopeless when it comes to Christian because I'm hopelessly in love with him. There's another hard knock at the door but I ignore it, instead focuses on trying to breathe through my tears. So much has happened that I'm not thinking rationally, if I was a bystander watching another person I would be so angry with them for being such a pathetic person. I have acted atrociously to Jose all in an attempt to piss Christian off! I've sent him signals that have given him hope only to reject him when he's poured his heart out to be numerous of times.

"Ana, are you sure you're ok?" hearing his concerned voice hits me like a ton of bricks and instantly more tears rush to my eyes. I don't deserve his concern. I don't deserve anything right now.

"Ana answer me!" I can't find my voice; tears are filling my eyes and falling down my cheeks in huge waterfalls. Suddenly the bathroom door opens and Christian bursts in , his eyes searching the room before they lock on me and his jaw falls to the floor "Jesus Ana!" he's by my side in seconds , holding me against his chest as his arm wraps around my waist , letting me cry into his shoulder, my tears staining his expensive tux.

"Christian what's happening to us?" he looks down and his beautiful grey eyes meet mine and he shakes his head softly.

"We just lost each other baby, but I meant what I said in my email Ana, I will never ever stop fighting to keep you with me" I break my eyes from his and stare at the floor. Gently he takes my chin in his hand and tilts it up to stare at him once again "what are you thinking?" I bite my lip and he takes a sharp intake of breath but I ignore it.

"I'm still mad at you. I don't know if I can completely forgive you just yet." His grip on me loosens and he steps back a little, searching my face as if he can't believe what I've just said.

"Ana what do you want me to do? Please tell me and I'll do it" I shake my head and he sighs exasperatedly.

"You're like a Yoyo! One minute you're telling me you love me and that you'll never leave and then you're leaving me standing alone in a hospital car park! Then I have to endure 8 days without you , feeling my heart break more and more as every second passes and I'm alone ,not to mention your inability to talk to me. Which frankly I think is just rude Anastasia. And then I get that invite and I'm overtaken by my joy thinking you've finally decided you want to work this out only to find out it's some sick persons joke! And now you cry in my arms and act all helpless and the victim when in reality Anastasia you are being spiteful and it frankly doesn't suit you. And don't say you haven't because I know why you're really staying with your slimy little friend downstairs. That's low Ana, bringing his hopes up only to crush them. And don't think I don't know you did it to piss me off. So well done Ana you did piss me off, hope you feel better now" I try to make my voice work but it's useless , his eyes are so cold and it kills me that his rage is directed at me , but what hurts the most is the fact that he's right. I have hurt people, especially him and Jose.

"Take my advice Ana. Move out of Jose's and get your own place if you can't face coming home. But don't pretend you're doing this for anyone but yourself. I love you Anastasia but right now you're not the women who fell into my office and stole my heart, she would never have done that to her friend and you know it" all I can do is nod and another sob hits me full on and I look up to see Christian physically battling with himself to not come and help me, I know how much it hurts him to see me so upset. He helps me to my feet and gently leads me out the bathroom, ignoring the weird glances we get from two women in charcoal black suits heading in the opposite direction, and down the stairs back to the main floor. We stand in the middle of the dance floor and suddenly his lips are on mine, his hand on my cheek as his fingers brush against the tear stains from my eyes. His kiss is needy and passionate as well as tainted with deep sorrow at our current situation. This is how he communicates, and right now he's hurting. We break apart, his hand still resting against my cheek.

"Think about what I said Anastasia and remember your home will always be with me and if I have to wait for that clumsy girl with the smart mouth to return then I will learn to be a patient man. Because she's worth the wait" my heart is in my mouth as he leans down to kiss me again before turning on his heal and leaving me standing in the middle of the dance floor.

"Oh good there you are. Home time I think? Think you'll let me share your bed tonight Miss Steel" I'm pulled from my silence as I feel Jose's arm wrap around my waist and pull me tightly against him, his left hand resting over my bump. Something I don't let anyone except Christian do, blip is after all his child.

"Jose stop" I pull away quickly and turn to face him, stopping him from coming any closer with a raised hand "you know I'm married"

"Yes Ana I do but I'm kinda hoping you'll leave that arsehole once and for all and be with me. It's only a matter of time before I win you over; I'm the one you are supposed to be with. Not him" he steps forward again and reaches for my hand. I step back once more and he narrows his eyes at me, it's the same look he gave me that night at the bar when Christian had to intervene.

"Jose please we're friends. Just friends" he shakes his head and steps towards me again, the room is less busy now and the few people remaining are so drunk they can barely stand let alone notice the scene occurring right in front of them. Suddenly I'm scared.

"Stop fighting what's meant to be Ana! You are meant to be with me! What has Christian ever given you but heartache and pain! I'd never hurt you and yet you hurt me constantly by rejecting me what is rightly mine!" Its then that I smell the alcohol on him, just like the bar, he's wasted and angry. A seriously dangerous combination, how I wish Christian had stayed with me. He'd protect me.

"Jose please just stop. I'm sorry, I should never have come to stay with you, I realise that now. If I ever gave you the wrong idea then I am truly sorry. Please stop this" his eyes are alive and he leaps forward and grasps my arm, pulling me hard against him and I trip into his arms. I try to pull back but his hold on me is too tight and I'm trapped by his strong arms.

"You are not thinking of leaving are you Ana? Because it was really kind of me to let you into my apartment like that, you're not going to be rude and throw it all back in my face now are you? I thought Ray and Carla taught you better. Maybe that's what Christian fucking Grey has made you! A selfish, money grabbing little whore! Well I can make you better Ana, you just have to let me" his breath is a mix of strong alcohol and cigarettes and I wonder when he started smoking, something we both hate, or at least he use too hate. The smell makes me gag and I have to take deep breaths through my mouth to stop him seeing.

"Jose please I'm begging you. Please let go of me , you're hurting me" he doesn't and instead he tightens his hold so my bump crushes against him , its sore and I yelp out a little "Jose please , please don't do this, It's not like you" wrong thing to say as his eyes change dramatically as he smirks wickedly.

"Your right Ana it's not me, it's who you've made me" I gasp and shake my head, does he really think I did this to him. Have I? I didn't mean too. Just because you didn't mean to doesn't stop you doing something my subconscious mutters silently as she watches silently petrified by Jose.

"Jose please I'm truly sorry, I never meant to hurt you or lead you on or anything like that. Please let go of me" he shakes his head and I fear that he's going to try and kiss me but suddenly a voice stops him.

"Yes let go of her Jose" he rolls his eyes and let's go of me suddenly, catching me by surprise so I slam to the floor after losing my balance. I look up and gasp, my head hurts and my eyes are bloodshot from the tears but I can still see her clearly.

Elena Lincon. Elena Lincon has come to my rescue. But why?
