Drew eyed the camera in front of Seth as he walked towards the door to the arena. He knew Seth was filming a reality show and that the camera man and the sound guy would drive home with him and sleep in his guest room.
"Drew! My man!" Seth said loudly.
"I'm not interested in being on your show," Drew chuckled.
"He's kidding," Seth chuckled too.
Drew grinned at the camera and then hugged Seth goodbye.
"Give my love to Miley," Drew said.
"I would if she would answer my texts," Seth said.
Drew furrowed his eyebrows but Seth put on a smile and turned to the two men in front of him.
"Let's drive home. It's only an hour. I get to pick the music," Seth said.
The two men chuckled and followed him out to his car. They got in and drove the hour to his home while he answered questions and told stories they might be able to use as material for the reality show.
"Home sweet home," Seth said.
Seth parked the car and they all got out of it. The house was dark and he figured Miley was sleeping. They walked inside the house and the two men followed him to the bedroom with the camera filming. He turned on the light and found the bed empty. He crossed the hall to the guest room but it was the same deal.
"I wonder where she is," Seth said.
"Maybe she went out partying," the camera man suggested.
"On a Monday?" Seth asked.
Seth took out his phone and saw Miley still hadn't answered his texts.
"I'm gonna call her," Seth said.
"Put it on speaker," the sound guy said.
The camera guy had the camera focused on Seth. Seth called Miley and put the phone on speaker. She answered after two rings. She was clearly awake by the sound of her voice.
"Hello, Seth," she said.
"Hey, babe. Where are you?" He asked.
"I'm home," she said.
"Oh, you're outside. Let me unlock the door for you," he said.
He turned to walk back to the front door but she cut him off before he got to take a step.
"No, I'm already home, Seth. I moved out this weekend so I'm home where I live now," she said.
"You what? You moved out? Why?" He asked.
"You already know why. I don't want to be part of a reality show," she said.
"We signed a contract!" He hissed.
"No, you signed a contract. My signature is not on anything," she said calmly. "I'm done. It's over between us."
"Miley, they're filming right now," he said.
"How is that for a magical reality tv moment for you?" She asked.
She hung up before he could answer that question. He ran inside the bedroom and opened her wardrobe. It was empty. He felt his heart tighten in his chest and sat down on the bed. She had left him. He had pushed her one too many times and she was done.
"How are you feeling?" The sound guy asked.
"No!" Seth growled. "I'm not accepting this!"
He tried calling Miley again but his number was already blocked. He tried her sister Aspasia but he was also blocked on her phone. Miley was truly gone. She would never return no matter what he said or did.
"Get out," Seth said.
"But we're filming," the camera man protested.
"Give me a fucking moment alone! Get out of my bedroom!" Seth screamed.
The sound guy looked at the camera man and nodded. The two men left the bedroom and closed the door after them. Seth tried one more time to call Miley but he was of course still blocked. He let out a loud scream and threw his phone into the wall. His heart was hurting even worse now. He curled up on the bed and started sobbing.
Miley was also sharing tears in that moment. She had loved Seth but he had made it impossible to stay with him. He was not a good man when she looked at everything he had done to her. Her sister Aspasia pulled Miley into her arms.
"It's okay, sis. Let it all out," Aspasia said.
"It hurts," Miley cried.
"I know," Aspasia said. "It's gonna hurt for a while but you'll get through it. I promise. And you can stay here for as long as you need. It's gonna be fun having you around for a while."
Miley broke the hug and smiled at Aspasia.
"Thank you," Miley said.
"Don't mention it," Aspasia smiled back. "So we got some important decisions to make tonight. Hot chocolate or licorice chai latte?"
Miley snorted in laugher and that made Aspasia smile even more.
"I could go for a cup of chai," Miley said.
"Coming right up," Aspasia stood up. "I'll make it while you find the most gory horror movie to watch. I want nightmares tonight so work your magic."
"On it," Miley said.
Aspasia walked towards the door but stopped to look back at Miley.
"You were always too good for him," Aspasia said.
"I've come to realize that too," Miley said. "Thank you, sis. You're the best."
"I am the best," Aspasia grinned. "Licorice chai latte coming right up for my favorite sister."
"I'm your only sister," Miley laughed. "Thank you for making me laugh. I needed that. I love you, sis."
