Erika's pov
*Knock Knock*
I shut my computer and walk to the door.

Erika: Who is it?

Rocky: Rocky

I open the door. Rocky walks in.

Rocky: Hi

She sits on the couch. I sit next to her.

Erika: So did you ask him?

Rocky: Yes

Erika: Sooo...?

Rocky: Everyone in that house is going.

Erika: I expected that.

Stephanie walks out of her room.

Steph: Hey Rocky

Rocky: Hi Steph

Erika: I guess I'm not going...

Rocky: Stephanie Tell Erika she Has to go to Amanda's birthday party.

Steph: Why wouldn't she?

Erika: Team 10 is going.

Steph: I thought you and Anthony are all good now.

Erika: That's just one person Steph.

Steph: Erika you should go. This is gonna happen a lot. You and Team 10 will be invited to the same parties. You have the same friends. You probably won't even see him.

Rocky: Come on Rik. I'm going as Anthonys plus one.

Erika: I didn't get a plus one.

Rocky: Only people with gf/bf did So Jakes not bringing anyone.

Erika: Why would I care?

I stand up.

Rocky: Erika don't get defensive.

Erika: I don't want to walk in by myself.

Rocky: I'll come with you then!

I think for a minute.

Erika: Fine.. *sighs*

Stephanie and Rocky high five. I chuckle to myself.

*Knock Knock*

Steph: I'll get it.

She walks back a few seconds later with Cortney behind her. Cortney passes me my Starbucks.

Erika: Thank you

Cortney nods. She walks to the table and sets her stuff up.

Erika: Oh Cortney I'm going to Amanda's party tonight, could you tell Kara.

Cortney: Oh yeah.

Rocky: I've gotta go to the bathroom.

She walks to the bathroom. Stephanie walks upstairs.

Cortney walks over to me.

Cortney: I know me and you are supposed to be testing this strictly business thing but are you sure that you should be going to this party.

I sigh.

Erika: Why Do you keep doing this Cortney?

Cortney: doing what?! I'm trying to help you get over him!

Erika: WHAT IF I DONT WANT TO GET OVER HIM!

Cortney:What...?

Erika: IVE LOVED HIM FOR OVER THREE YEARS CORTNEY!

Cortney: You only were together for over a year...

Erika: Yes but at one point he was like a brother to me!!

Cortney: ... I have to tell you something.

Erika: What now?!

Cortney: a few weeks ago... after you released Dynamite...

Erika: Yes?

Cortney: Jake sent you an email.

Erika: *sigh* Why did I never get that email Cortney?

Cortney: I deleted it.

Erika: What gave you the right to think you can delete any of my emails without me seeing them...?!

Cortney: I'm sorry. He just went on to say how much he liked the song and how good your voice was in it and how it was hard to watch the video.

Erika: Maybe you should go.

Cortney: Are you firing me?

Erika: No Cortney, but I will if you don't leave now.

Cortney: Fine.

She walks back over to the table.

Erika: I'll call Kara myself.

I walk into my room. I sit on my bed. Did I overreact? I was just sad that Jake never reached out to me after Dynamite came out. Steph and Rocky walk into my room. They sit on the end of my bed.

Erika: Did I overreact?

Rocky: No Erika.

Steph: She went too far. She's your assistant so she deals with the business side. That was your personal side.

Erika: Maybe I shouldn't of yelled.

Rocky: No Erika! You did the right thing.

Erika: But she knows a lot of personal things about me... she could easily tell people.

Steph: Oh like what happened a few months ago?

Erika: Stephanie!

Rocky: What? What happened?!

Steph: She doesn't know..?

Erika: No.. we weren't really talking when it happened.

Rocky: Tell me!
