We didn't do much the rest of the day, and we didn't do much the next morning either, but Candice did decide she wanted to go hang with her other friends, so I let her go. I'm not really one who likes to talk and gossip, which is what they do mostly. I only know this because Candi insisted I go with her atleast once. I mean yea they were pretty cool… but all they did was talk and talk about stuff I don't even know about. Like they would talk about some weird soap opera and I'm just sitting there like how about them Eagles? Then somebody said that was their favorite soccer team... And since that day I haven't went with her since. So now when she does that I just go hang with the guys or sometimes I go to the gym. I like working out I take great pride of my body that I worked so hard to get, and I will be damned if being in here makes me lose it. The gym here is a pretty good one enough to get the job done atleast. Sometimes the guys would work out with me not today though. I don't mind being alone because I like to gather my thoughts and release any pent up aggression insted of taking it out on a person. Shelby says its a good thing to do instead of beating people up.

When I got there I decided to start on the treadmill for about ten minutes. Then after that I began to stretch, you can't stretch before you warm up your body first or else it does nothing. After that I hopped on the elliptical until I didn't feel like it anymore which was maybe twenty minutes give or take a few. Then from there I did the leg press, then I did some leg curls. I then decided to take a water break before I saw the Hawaiian guard dude or as I learnt last time, via Aksana, Joe walking over to me. I don't know what he wants and I don't really want to find out, so I began to walk away from the cooler but I wasn't fast enough. I'm hot and sweaty and not really in the socializing mood none to mention I only have on a sports bra and some workout pants.

"Victoria come here girl!" He yelled. Do you ever see somebody you don't like but they think you like them, and you try to run or hide so you don't have to see them. But then they spot you and you're just like Fuck and put on a fake smile and say hi back? Well thats what is happening right now minus the fake smile and the hi. So I turned back around to face him and put my hands on my hips.

"What? I'm busy what do you want!" I spoke very impatiently

"Calm down I come in peace. I just want to know is your cousin really actually married to a chick?" I couldn't help but stare at him like he was crazy.

"No you know sometimes she just likes to go and buy herself a wedding ring and wear it and tell people she is married to one of Florida's top ten female lawyers. And then she purposefuly attracts a bunch of guys only to in the end rub it in their faces that she is happily married to her beautiful wife." I said sarcastically.

"Yea she wanted me I could tell… but then again you don't look so bad yourself." He smirked as he inched closer to me. Is this guy serious right now? I swear to cod and all fish kind I will break his nose if he touches me. "You know when you get out of here maybe we-"

"Hey babe I've been looking for you!" Candice said as she began to walk towards me. How long has she been standing there? But boy I've never been so happy to see her. "You weren't with the guys and they told me to check the gym." She spoke as she gave me a light hug, I am still sweaty.

"Yea well you found me! Why whats up beautiful?" She loves it when I call her that, I can tell by the way her eyes twinkle a little bit when I look in her eyes when I say that. Also because her cheeks turn a light shade of pink when I say it.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to get dinner now?"

"Ummm well I'm almost done here maybe like half an hour from now?" I asked

"Ok. But only if I get to watch!" She purred.

"Ok deal!" And with that I gave her a quick kiss and then turned back to Joe. "What were you saying again? I got distracted." I smirked at him only for it to turn into a glare because he was looking at Candice the same way every guy on the damn boardwalk was staring at her. Candice was wearing her Daisy Dukes and a cute floral pattern tanktop. It showed off all of her curves and damn she looks good, but only I should be looking at her like that. "Hey! Eyes up here!" I snapped as I gently pushed Candi behind me blocking his view of her. "I suggest you keep your eyes off my girl or we're going to have problems. I will personally make your life hell if you keep it up. You should probably get out of my sight before I actually break your nose this time!" I growled nobody can gawk at my girlfriend in front of me and get away with it. He then put his hands up in surrender and backed away.

"I'm sorry Toots I couldn't help it she is beautiful. She is quite the piece of eye candy you have there, now I see why Stephen always talks about her she's hott! Oh man the things I'd do to you!" He smirked. He is lucky I'm in this damn rehab center for my anger management because if we weren't I would knock that stupid grin right off his face. "Bye Candice I will see you later baby girl!" He smiled as he waved at her.

"You aren't going to see her later as long as I'm here!" I growled. He just chuckled as he left the gym.

"Victoria?" I heard Candice say softly as she gently grabed my arm but I am extremely pissed off, and I need to go before I do something crazy. And I don't want her to see me like this, so I pull away from her and storm out the doors that lead outside to the patio. I don't know why or how but he managed to get under my skin. I need to take out my anger on something, the closest thing to me is this plastic lawn chair. I don't even care right now, so I begin my brutal assult on the poor chair. I'm just pulling and stomping on it until I hear a familiar voice ring in my ears through my rage.

"Victoria stop!" Candice yells I can hear her getting closer to me and it sound like she might start crying a little bit. But I don't care I'm just blowing off steam, I can't control what I'm doing right now. Suddenly I feel someone grab me and I just violently shove them off me and they fall to the ground pretty hard. When I stop to look at who it was, all my anger turns to regret. This is when reality set in. Candice was staring up at me with a look she has never looked at me with before. She looks at me like she didn't know who I was anymore like I was some sort of monster. And there were tears in her eyes. She looks so scared and vulnerable right now and its my fault.

"God I hate you Ryan!" She sobbed

"Candi I'm so-" was all I could get out before she started to cry and then got up and ran back inside. As I watched her run I got this weird feeling in my chest. My heart feels so heavy and I... Wait a second why is there water coming from my eyes? This hasn't ever happend to me before... Whatever this feeling is I don't like it. I would chase after her but I've watched enough chick flicks to know when a girl runs off like that just give her time to cool off, hell I need time to cool off myself. So I just took a seat on one of the other chairs and just sat there before they came and got me.

I was only sitting there for five minutes before the guards came for me and put me in solitary. I didn't bother fighting them when they cuffed my left hand to the bed. All I care about is Candice and what she is doing right now, I hope she is ok. All I can do is just sit here and let the water fall from my eyes. At the same time I can't help but wonder why did she call me Ryan?

"So do you want to go ahead and explain what happened before you brutally murdered the poor chair?" Asked Dr. Shelby.

"What happened is that jackass guard of yours caused me to make my beautiful cry!" I stated

"What do you mean?"

"That fucker provoked me. He was checking out my girl and that type of nonsence doesn't settle to well with me. I'm letting you know this now if he slight as looks at me or Candice funny I might accidentally break his nose." I state blankly. "So maybe you should move him to the far side of the building or fire him. I really don't care but if you don't mind I kind of want to be alone right now."

"Ok well I will go talk to him." And with that he left closing the door behind him. I honestly don't like this feeling I feel not knowing if she is ok or not, and the worst part is I probably won't know until tomorrow morning. Is this what it feels like to be heartbroken? Because damn this sucks, and it makes it hurt even worse to realize that I broke my promise to never hurt her. And I hurt her and the best part is tomorrow is her birthday and I fucked it up. The tought of her possibly hating me makes my heart hurt even more and my eyes rain even more than before. I can't sleep not knowing if she is ok or not, looks like it is going to be a sleepless night for me.

XXXXXXXXXX

The next morning was a very dull one not having Candice wake up next to me on her special day. I just want to see her, but I'm chained to this stupid bed and starving. It is breakfast time around here and usually by this time they would have sent someone to bring me breakfast. I hope its Candice because I need to talk to her. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Hey are you up?" Asked Jamie as she came through the door with food on it.

"Its not like I was ever sleep." I stated as she put the tray on the table and pushed it towards me. She then began to put the cream cheese on my bagel. After a minute or two of sitting in silence I had to ask. "Is she ok?" She let out a sigh and looked at me.

"You know she has been crying nonstop since yesterday. I'm pretty sure she cried every tear she could Randy just got her to stop a few hours ago. She is really beat up about this Vic." She said lightly.

"I know but you gotta believe me I didn't mean to knock her down I though it was somebody else. I would never intentionaly hurt her I love her too much to do that." I said as I shed a tear I really don't care if Jamie sees me crying she doesn't understand what I'm going through right now.

"Well I can tell because you are susposed to be Mrs. Rough-and-tough who doesn't cry but yet a little 125lb. brunette girl managed to make you cry without even saying or touching you. But you shouldn't be trying to explain yourself to me. The one you should be explaining to is Candice." She reasoned.

"You know for someone who acts like a total bitch you aren't that bad of a person." I chuckled.

"Thanks anyways what happened before you murdered the chair?" She asked. I have nothing else to do right now so I explained to her what happened.

...

"And then when I looked at her she stared back at me like she didn't know who I was anymore and like I was some kind of monster. And she has never looked at me like that. She looked so scared, I think I might have sparked something in her that made her look at me like that but the part I don't get is she says I hate you Ryan. Who is Ryan?" I spoke honestly. "And the best part is today is her birthday."

"Yea well its only eight so you have about sixteen hours left to make it right and give her a great birthday. Because I have the key that you need to be free." She smiled as she pulled a set of keys out of her pocket and dangled them in my face.

"WTF! No you decide to tell me that! What are you waiting for unlock me!" I demanded.

"On one condition."

"Ok ok what is it?"

"You have to put in a good word for me to Randy."

"Ok fine whatever. Now give me the key."

"And!"

"Annd?!"

"And no more rude comments towards me." She smiled

"Ok I promise. Now can you please unlock me?" I begged.

"Kay!" She smiled and then unlocked the cuff. "Now go get your girl!" And with that I took off to the elevator in search of my Angel Bunny. When I got there I automatically decided to check her room, but she wasn't in there so I check just about every other room on our floor. I geuss she must have went to breakfast so I just decided to head back to my room.

When I walked in there I saw Randy sitting on my bed looking at the floor, but Candice was nowhere in sight. And he is covered in what looks to be blood but I'm hoping it's cranberry juice. Please let it be cranberry juice.

"Where is she?" I question and he looks up at me but doesn't say anything he just looks back down. Something is wrong I can feel it. So I ask him again. "This isn't funny Randall where is Candice I need to talk to her it is very important."

"I'm sorry Vic it was all my fault." He murmered

"No what are you talking about?"

"I shouldn't have left her alone. She said she was ok." He said weakly

"No no where is she?"

"I was only gone for less then ten minutes. And I don't even know where she got it from." My heart is beating really fast at this point I don't think I could sleep at night knowing she did something drastic.

"She's ok right? Please tell me she is ok." I beg and he just shrugged his shoulders.

"When I found her blood was everywhere and I've never seen her look so pale. I picked her up and she wasn't moving she was still alive but barely breathing." He murmered I can tell he is trying not to cry because Candi is his friend too.

"Randy look at me please!" I demanded and he looked up. "Did she try to..." I spoke not really being able to stomach the fact that she would do something like that. He just shrugged his shoulders.

"We don't know for sure. Doctor said that might have been the case." It was at this moment that I realized that I caused her to do this. This is my fault if I wouldn't have gotten so mad and knocked her over she would probably be here with me celebrating her birthday. I have to see her I have to make sure she is ok.

"Where did they take her?"

"To the hospital part in the west wing. But it doesn't matter we can't go over there-"

"Like hell I can't that is my girlfriend over there for Christ sake! I fucking love her and she could be dead for all I know! I'm going over there are you coming with me or no?"

"Yea she is like my little sister." He said as he stood up and walked towards me.

"Ok but you need to change I'm not going to walk around with you covered in my girlfriend's blood." I spoke honestly.

"Ok let me change first and then we can go." He said as he headed to his room and then changed his clothes. Then after that we left to go find my Beautiful.


Oh no! Candi why would she do that?! OMG Vic might be heartbroken. Most importantly who the hell is Ryan?! 626=Stitch -Joz
