“Dallas what a city to be stuck in when you feel like crap” she said to no one in specific. She was a mess and had requested to be left alone, even AJ was not welcome. He had been a great friend but right at this moment she wanted to be alone. Just her and the bottle of vodka, she had learned from Gilbert that sometimes to forget you just needed a little liquor. She swallowed the liquid and just listened to her ipod tears just falling down her face. How could Marco hurt her like that? She was glad she had found out now than later though, because the truth was she was really starting to feel very deep feelings toward that man. She played with the promise ring he had given her, such a beautiful ring but with such shallow meanings from him. “'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all,” she sang as she poured more vodka into her glass. She heard the knock finally since the song had just finished in her ipod. She tried to stand and then realized she was a tad bit tipsy, she couldn’t help but laugh. Finally after several attempts she was able to make to the door. “I said I wanted to be alone, I will be ok for tomorrow’s event,” she became quiet when she saw him standing there with a worried look.

“Yeah, I know what you said but I just don’t think it’s healthy,” he said as he went into her room not caring what she said. “I see that you’ve been drinking,” he said as he looked at the empty bottle of hypnotic and the almost empty bottle of vodka. “Why?” he asked as he threw both into the waste basket.

“Because I want to forget,” she said in a slur, “I want to forget about love and how painful it is,” she said as she began to sob.

“oh, come on my Mona Lisa I told you already he is not worth all this your doing,” he went to hug her only to have her push him away.

“NO! You’re a liar, you lied to me,” she said in anger. “you told me that I was not meant for you cause I was going to find someone better and look what I got!” she threw her hands up in the air letting the ring fall to the floor. “you didn’t want me because I am ugly and you put my hopes up about finding Mr. right and yeah he sure was Mr. right up the –“ she stopped herself from saying something she would regret and sighed instead. She turned away and walked to her bed plopping to it, “I deserve this AJ, I am not worthy of ever finding love.”

“I did not lie to you my Mona Lisa, you will find Mr. Right. I do have to apologize though for making you think I did not like you, the truth is I am super attracted to you. You are super talented and I feel so comfortable around you, at that moment when you know, I really did not know what I was thinking, I thought I loved Sarah,” he told her and smiled as he realized she had fallen asleep. He leaned in and whispered into her ear, “the truth my Mona Lisa is I think I am in love with you and it makes me so happy to know that you and Marco are no more.” He knew she was not listening and that made it ok to confess his new found emotions. He was too much of a wimp to tell her that, well just yet anyway. Besides she was super wasted and most likely not remember this conversation tomorrow.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

She awoke to the horrible pain inside her head. She suddenly panicked as she felt an arm around her but then she recognized the soft breathing and light snore, it was AJ. She didn’t remember much except the drinking, because now she had the side affects. She ran to the bathroom and without too much effort began to empty her stomach contents. She was there just spilling out whatever she had for lunch the day before, she was panting for air when she felt someone rubbing her back for comfort.

“That’s it just let it out,” he told her as she continued to hurl. It reminded him so much of his days when all he did was get wasted. “Here let me put hair in a bun so it won’t bother you,” he grabbed her hair and loosely tied it. After a few more hurls he heard her flush and stand up he helped her to the sink, “get cleaned up I will go get you the best hangover remedy available.”

She couldn’t help but smile; lately he had come to be very attentive of her. It was like he was her boyfriend more than Marco himself. Well either way Marco was no more, she splashed the cold water on her face when she heard the knocking at her door. “That was quick,” she said as she walked to the door. Only then did she see who was at the door, “what are you doing here?” she asked as she saw his green eyes.

“We need to talk baby, you can’t judge without hearing the whole story.” He said as he walked in without her permission. “I didn’t do it on purpose she came on to me; I was only her cab driver. She asked me to show her around New York and I did. She told me that it was her first time in New York and that she wanted to see everything that made that city special. I just showed her around and that’s when she offered me some drinks, I may have had a few and got a little drunk. Ok well a lot drunk and I don’t remember the rest all I remember is waking up beside her. I know I am so stupid for even accepting a drink from her, I am so sorry baby please you have to forgive me I can’t live without you.” He said as he cried and went to hug her.

She pushed him away and spoke, “I don’t care if she was not familiar with New York or not. I thought we were made for each other I trusted you, only then did you break my heart. I can’t forgive you Marco, because I won’t be happy. Because every time I kiss you I will think of you with her, every time you hug me I will think of you with her, and every time you tell me that you love me I will think of you also telling her. I can’t do that to you nor me, so it’s better if we just don’t ever see each other again.”

“No Lisa you can’t do this to me, I love you. I am deeply madly in love with you, I know I screwed up but I love you,” he said as he begged for forgiveness.

She was about to answer when AJ came in with a can of red bull in hand. She looked at him with pleading eyes, “help,” she mouth to him.

He cleared his throat as he saw who was in the room. “I think she already said its final dude, just go.” He said as he approached him and Mona.

He turned to the voice that spoke and recognized the man, “You don’t have any say in this, it’s between Lisa and me,” he told him as he got defensive.

“No, I do have a say in this if she wants me to,” he told the man that now looked like he was ready to fight whoever. “Look you screwed up ok, she needs space if she really loves you she will forgive you just give her the opportunity to clear her head.”

“I need her and you’re not anyone to tell me what to do,” he said back to him. Who the hell did he think he was this conversation was between him and Lisa.

“But, I don’t want to be with you anymore,” she said as she saw the anger in Marco’s eyes. “I want you to leave me alone, go back to Jenny,” she said with disdain.

“You heard it from her own mouth, now just leave,” he said as he opened the door for him. “She will call you if she’s interested,” he said in anger now. How stupid could he be, he got what he deserved.

She watched him leave without another world just hurt in his eyes. She for a second felt bad for him but he deserved it, she got really hurt by him. “Thank you” she told him as she took a seat on a chair.
