I wake up. The warmth of Dans body next to mine comforting. The cover wrapped tightly around us in the heart shaped bed. Look at him. So beautiful. So perfect. He is everything compared to me. Me with my crimson hair that boringly brushes my shoulders as I move. My over blue eyes. My body shaped like a hourglass as it should and my breasts the average size. Thats the only thing I like about myself. My body. Its actually not half bad. I slowly get out of bed and look through the draws and wardrobes. The best thing about this hotel is it has clothes you can use so you don't need luggage. I pull on some under clothes and look in them all. I choose a top, that clings to my skin, the same colour but slightly darker than my hair and some very skinny jeans. I walk out of the room careful not to disturb Dan. I walk through the living room into the kitchen. Before I know it Dan is up and dressed, "Sit down, babe. You let me do you some pancakes. "his voice calls. I spin on my tip toes to face him. "Sure thing!" I say pressing my lips against his softly for a second or two. Dans a cook. Works at this big fancy gourmet restaurant as a head chef. I think about last night. I start crying but its silent. I can not stay. I must not stay. I need to get on with my life. The one I am meant to have. The one I need to have. I must not stay. I can not stay. I dry my tears and go the bathroom. I look fine. Just like I'm tired. I leave and go back to the living room the glass panel separating the kitchen and this room is very thin and has a large arch in the middle. I switch on the massive flat screen tv and turn on friends. I love friends. Dan is Monica and Im Chandler. Thats what I want to name my kids, Monica and Chandler and Phoebe and Joey. My mum and dads names are Pho-"Enjoy, babe!" he passes my pancakes covered in melted chocolate. I place them on the small table in front of the sofa. "Dan... Last night was great but I cant do this anymore. Im running from a life I left behind years ago and know I am needed in that life again. I need to go and this time you cant stop me. This time Im going to be gone for good!" I say. Hurt but strength to overcome that pain shows in my voice. "What?! Im confused. You ask my to be your boyfriend then you say we are over! We get back together and you agree to marry me! Then you say your vows but when the vicar asks you to take me as your husband you say no and run away! I catch you and then we have sex and then you say what you just said! I cant believe you are you determined to get my heart to break into a thousand pieces!" he bellows anger and despair full in his voice. A tear falls from my eye as I mutter"Xzarlian!" I watch as he slowly sits down, turns away from me and falls asleep "I would say don't forget me but just made you do that." I say. I kiss him softly on the cheek and run out to the lobby. I pay for Dan to have another week in there. Dan was a fisher when I first met him. He would go to clubs and take a girl and have meaningless sex with them. I took away the memories he has that have anything to do with me in them so he is pretty much the boy that I met two years ago. He will catch some good fish in this town. Ones that aren't magical and dangerous.
