*Zac*
Hearing Nina and Pilar yell at each in spanish makes me hurry out there, even though I am not getting much of what they are saying.. I get that Pilar is not happy about Nina and Nick and she mentioned something ten years ago.. Nina apparently called Pilar something that made her feel like.. a whore I am pretty sure I got that right.

I arrive just to see Pilar run of and Nina desperately call after her. "What happened Nina ? Are you okay ?"

"Yeah.. I messed up.. I shouldn't have lost it.. I mean I know she is hurt". She looks like she isn't sure what to do with herself.

I pull her into a hug. "Seems like you both.. Got to emotional.. go inside to Nick.. I'll go talk with Pilar.. okay ?"

"Okay.. and thanks Zac". She presses a soft kiss to my cheek. "Just watch out, she can get.. feisty when she is upset".

"I think I can handle her". I give her an optimistic smile, but she doesn't look convinced as she walk inside to find Nick, who is no doubt ready to comfort her.

I make my way in the direction that Pilar ran, hoping I can really get through to her.. I am sad to see someone harbour the amount of pain that she clearly does.

Even at a distance I can hear her curse to herself in the tent, so I walk over there and call out softly. "Can I come in darling ?"

"No piss off.. I don't want to talk.. least at all to you". She halfway yell, but I can hear that her voice is choked up.

"Sorry sweetie.. no can't do.. so I hope you are decent". I step in, seeing her angrily throw stuff into her suitcase. "Hi.. what is happening ?"

She looks up, tears streaking her cheeks. "I am packing.. is that really hard to see".

"Why are you packing ? Come on Pilar.. talk to me.. what is happening ?" I hold myself back, every fiber of my body wanting to hug her, hoping to glue those broken pieces back together.

"I can't stay here.. it's too.. you are too.. I can't stay here for god knows how long". She looks halfway panicked.

I try to breathe slowly.. like kinda hoping the more calm I am it might rub of on her. "I am too.. what ? Have I in any way offended you ?"

"No.. I just.. I am not good with strangers.. like people I don't know well.. especially men.. I.. she is gonna end up pregnant and hurt". She is shaking her head, slightly rambling.

"Okay.. don't panic on me.. but I am going to hug you now.. cause you need a hug badly". I say softly.. hoping it is not overstepping her boundaries.

She looks about to run when I pull her into my arms and I feel her stiffen up for,a moment, before she relax into my embrace, mumbling. "Damn you Zac".

"Sorry.. I can't help it". I chuckle softly as I hold her even closer .. for some reason it feels really good to hold her. "Now tell me.. why do you really want to run ?"

"I can't stand to see Nina get hurt again.. I am scared I will get hurt again". She mumbles, kinda hiding her face in my chest.

*Pilar*
Dammit.. why is he so perceptive.. why can't he just be like most men and not get it. He is gently rubbing circles on my back. "I know you worry.. and that you don't really trust men.. but Nick is a good guy.. and what's with the getting pregnant.. oh she was.. does she..?"

"Please don't ask Zac". I kinda whisper. "I already said way to much".

"Okay.. I can respect that". I feel something.. did he just press a kiss into my hair. "Well.. why are you scared of getting hurt.. no one here will hurt you.. or Nina".

I breathe in.. I can't say it out loud.. it would make it real.. and also.. I can't tell HIM. "It's just me being silly Zac.. Being .. scared".

"It's fine.. if it to personal". He has softly. "But Pilar I can't let you leave on your own.. please stay here with the others.. in safety.. you are free to.. keep a distance if you want.. just spend time with.. your friends".

"Zac ! I would never act like that.. ignore the rest of you I mean". I say softly. "Give me a little time to.. think about it".

Yup this time he definitely kissed my hair. "Okay darling.. take your time.. but at least if you insist on going let me make sure you get there safely.. no running off.. deal ?"

"Deal". I sigh and kind of worm out of his arms. "Go on then.. give me my time to think".

"Okay okay.. little miss bossy pants". He holds up his hands grinning. "See you later alligator".

I stick out my tongue shooing him out. "Get lost crocodile".

"Ouch.. I will go cry crocodile tears then.. hurt by your rejection". He blows me a kiss and disappear.

I move my suitcase down on the floor and throw myself on the bed. Should I stay ? What will happen if I stay ? Will I regret if I go ? Damn why can't it just be easy ?

I roll my eyes and let out a pend up breath.. so why am I scared ? Let me be honest with you.. I am starting to get fucking scared that I could fall for him.. Zac I mean.. like let down the walls and let him into my heart.. and then what ? He is a movie star.. I am.. nothing special.. a second.. or third level model who.. well.. let's just say his fans would not approve.. and well a man like him.. getting offers probably daily.. he might be into me for a while if at all.. and then someone prettier or younger comes along and I am left broken.

No.. I have to keep a distance .. to keep him out.. even if I stay.
