TIME WARNER CENTER, STUDIO THE REBELLION, MANHATTAN.
Ben stepped out of the main door of the skyscraper. Wearing his sunglasses and stepping towards his car parked in the courtyard of the building. The man was surprised by some of the reporters who were chasing him.
Shit, reporter infotainment.
"Ben, you can stop for a second." A woman with a lanyard necklace that says E!News on his neck stood up.
Ben breathed deeply - deeply. "What do you want?"
"Can you tell me who the girl you were with was at Linden Center in Brooklyn. Is he your new boyfriend, Ben?"
Ben squinted his forehead. "What?"
The woman showed photos of herself and Mia in the courtyard of the nursing home and rehabilitation center.
"Is he Linden's officer?" that woman's scatter. "Is she Cinderella the next modern century?"
Ben chuckled at the woman's words. The word Cinderella reminded him at the beginning he knew Laras.
"If you say so." Ben.
"Come, Ben. Who's this girl?"
"I really don't know what to say. Sorry." which." Ben opened his car door and sat behind the wheel. Prepare to leave the reporters.
"Ben, Ben .. wait a minute, okay?"
"What do you want to know?" ask Ben.
"Who is that girl, is she your lover?"
Ben hissing. "You know, I'd rather you ask me about the next Rebellion album." Ben waved his hand. "Bye!"
Ben closes the windshield of his car and leaves reporters still trying to catch up.

BELLY BAR, BROOKLYN.
Mia entered the room behind the small stage where had been waiting there William, Bryan, Brandon and also .. Sarah. As soon as she saw the woman, Mia sighed softly. He leaned his violin bag against the wall and sat down next to William.
"Congratulations, Lamia." Sarah interrupts. It made everyone in the room look at him in wonder.
"yeah? For?" mia asked not to understand.
"I saw the news on E! News. You're officially dating Ben Chevalier, how cool is that?" sarah said with excitement. Then embrace Brandon's shoulder with affection.
"Wow, wow.is that true, Lammy?" ask William.
"Enmmm ...." Mia looked towards Brandon. The man threw his face away. And welcome the embrace of Sarah no less mesraanya.
Mia's chest felt pain watching the scene in front of her. The breath in - deep. "Yeah, I'm dating Benjamin Chevalier from The Rebellion, how cool is that?" said it.
"Practice us a drink tonight" Bryan said.
"Oh, sure!" exclaim Mia. "Let's drink ton."
"O yeah!"
William and Bryan glanced with excitement. While Mia was still watching Brandon who did not take her eyes off Sarah.
.
.
"Cheers!" William and Bryan cried in unison while raising their respective glasses. Followed by Mia, Brandon and Sarah. I don't know how many glasses of whiskey they've spent.
"Tell me, Lamia." Sarah says. "How can you date a rockstar?" tanyanya then while wriggling on Brandon's shoulders.
"Owh, do you really wanna know?" Mia asked back. Glanced at Brandon who was looking at him with a glaring look. Her semi-bonded brown hair looks messy. His cheeks are also red.
"Yeah, tell me." Sarah sipped her glass.
"Because I look like his dead wife." Mia.
"Yeah, yeah, I feel sorry for you" said Mia. "Forwardly, what else do you want to know?" challenge Mia.
"Uuufh, how about this." Sarah poked her cigarette into an ashtray that had been filled with cigarette butts. "Did you already have s*x with him?"
Mia could not believe that she was asking such a personal question in front of her friends. But his emotions have been stirred. His lips smiled slanted.
"Not yet, but I will, Sarah, I will!" yells. Then he downed his glass violently. Then intend to pour the whiskey back into it.
"Slow down, Lamia." Brandon grabbed the glass Mia was holding, preventing the girl from refilling her glass.
Of course, that made Sarah angry. "Just leave him alone, Brand."
"Lamia doesn't drink normally. I don't want him to get too drunk" Brandon said, pushing the glass he was holding away from Mia.
Sarah hissing. "Then what's your problem if he's too drunk?"
William and Bryan who had been silent now looked at Brandon, Sarah and Mia alternately. I don't understand what's the problem between the three.
"Because I care about her!" brandon exclaimed as he grabbed Lamia's hand which looked confused due to the influence of alcohol that had spread throughout her body. "Come on, Lammy, I'll take you home."
"Brand!!" snapped Sarah who was unable to stem her anger. "You take her, we're done here."
Brandon shakes. He didn't care about Sarah's threat. "I'll talk to you later." he said, holding Mia and taking her out of the bar that was getting crowded by the visitor.
Brandon took off his jacket and put it on Mia so that the girl would not feel cold with a body wrapped only in a thin knit sweater.
"Brand ..." he said. "I'm dizzy."
"Yes, I'll take you home."
Brandon embraces Mia's shoulder and guides her to her car parked on the sidewalk.
His steps came to a halt when he saw someone standing right in front of them. Mia who was leaning her head on Brandon's upper arm was surprised to find that someone was Ben.
"How did you get here?" ask Mia. His head is a little throbbing.
"I tried to call you vertical times, you didn't answer." Ben answers. "I went to your apartment, Ashley said you were at Belly's Bar."
"Owh, yeah, sorry."
Ben walked closer towards the two. Then smiled kindly at Brandon.
"Dee, Brandon. Can I take Lamia now?" tanyakanya.
"I'll take Lamia home." Brandon pulled Mia's arm and carried the girl behind his back.
Ben shook his head while smiling sideways. Then looked at Brandon sharply.
"I don't think so, Dude. You know she's my girlfriend, right?" Ben grabs Mia's hand and pulls the girl's tiny body towards her.
"Brand ..." call Mia slowly.
Brandon was about to grab Mia's hand back but Ben immediately held her chest.
"Back off, Dude!" yells. "She's my girlfriend." Ben repeated the words - he said plainly. Then knock on Brandon's chest with his index finger.
"Owh, your jacket!" exclaiming Ben while removing the jacket worn by Mia and throwing it at Brandon. Then took the girl to her parked car not far from there.
Brandon stepped towards his car and kicked his wheel hard. Then walked back and forth while scrambling his coarse hair.
"F!!" he maketh with rage.
