*O(+>'s POV*

Three weeks later...

It's been three whole weeks since Katherine has left, I'm going out of my mind here. I get that I stuffed up, I really do, I do know that I could lose her forever and that honestly scares me. I've tried all I could but nothing is working, I've tried calling her but she isn't even staying at her office, I tried going to Billie's but Billie said she hasn't seen her...so I don't know where she even is. Amy or Billie won't tell me where she's gone, they were sworn to secrecy to not say anything.

I haven't worked in those three weeks when I usually work everyday, Katherine would have been happy about that considering we don't get to spend much time together as of late. I've just been locked in this house trying so desperately to get her back while sleep deprivation is kicking me in the ass...I hear a knock on the door and jump up, practically running towards it. My heart racing, but goes back to normal once I see who it is.

"Well...don't you just look like doo doo on a stick?" Jerome sighs.

"Rome? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"We were talking often then you started to ignore me. Then I knew something was up." He states, walking inside.

I close the door and follow him.

"What are you talking about man?" I ask.

"You're always out playing somewhere...every week. The media follow you around, the fact that you haven't been spotted anywhere or Katherine for that matter in nearly a month says something." He says.

I cross my arms.

"Yeah? And that says what?" I ask with a little attitude.

"Trouble in paradise." He responds in the same tone I used.

I scoff, walking over to sit down in the living room. Jerome takes off his coat and sits beside me.

"You look like shit, she isn't even here and the place is a mess...you're a mess." He says giving me a serious look.

I don't say anything I just stare in a space. I don't feel like arguing.

"Do you even know where she is?" He asks.

I furrow my brows, looking at him.

"You ask that like I don't but you do..." I say.

He looks away and sits back, I on the other hand sit up. Oh he got my full attention now.

"Yo, don't drop that then go mute. If you know where she is then tell me." I demand.

He gives me an unamused look, shaking his head.

"Not until you clean yourself up. You need to think this through before you go barging in over there." He sighs.

I squint my eyes at him, leaning in closer to him.

"At least tell me who she's staying with. Is she staying with one of her friends?" I ask.

Jerome just shrugs his shoulders.

"That's one way to put it." He blurts out.

His eyes widen at what he just said, mine do the same. I grab him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him to me.

"I beg your pardon, Rome?" I seethe.

He begins to squirm under my hold, holding up his hands in surrender.

"Alright! Fine. She's staying with a guy, but he's her guy best friend. I've been talking to her for the last three weeks, she asks me how you are." He confesses.

I let go of him, taking in what he's just admitted. So she's with a guy...but they're friends, so I hear. I turn to Jerome, he jumps.

"Tell me where they are." I demand.

"I told her I wouldn't, she said she'd come see you in her own time." He says.

I slam my fist on the table in front of me.

"Dammit, Jerome! Tell me!" I yell.

"I can't tell you where they are...but I can give you their number?" He offers.

I think for a moment, I guess a number will do for now. How dumb does Jerome think I am? The area code from it is all I need to find her if I really wanted to.

"Fine..." I sigh.

*Katherine's POV*

I was sitting at the table in my best friends apartment, reading a magazine. It's been a fun three weeks, really what I needed. A distraction really, I don't know what I'm gonna do about my relationship though...I'm still stuck on that. I just couldn't put up with the hurt and betrayal like that. If he has 'business' to take care of with his Exes I don't wanna be near it.

I hear my best friend, Will, come in the room with a smile on his face.

"What do you wanna do today? I have the day off but if you wanna go out and do something we need to stop by my office first though. I have something to send off." He asks.

"I don't know. Whatever you want." I smile up at him.

"Come on, Kat. Where's my adventurous Katherine?" He asks.

I chuckle, looking up from my magazine. He gives me a mischievous smile, I roll my eyes and groan.

"Ugh fine!" I put down the magazine and give him my full attention, "Lets go to the movies then."

Will claps his hands together and grins.

"There's my girl! I'll get changed." He runs off to his room to get changed.

I laugh as I get my purse, I look down as my engagement ring let's off a bright shine from the light above me. I sigh, I'm still at a loss at what I'm meant to do about him...

"Okay. So, are we gonna have a action day? Drama day full of gossip and gasps or comedy full of laughs where we get to pick out our favourite parts of the movie to pick on the characters and the actors?" He asks.

I chuckle while putting my finger on my chin, thinking about this.

"Hmm I'm gonna go with the comedy." I smile. 

"Brilliant choice, M'lady." He says in an English accent.

I laugh as I walk to the door, we grab our coats when the phone begins to ring. I look at Will who's ignoring it.

"Will? Aren't you going to get that?" I ask.

"The machine will get it." He says, taking my hand and leading me out the door.

I shrug my shoulders and follow him.

We make it to the movie theatre, we grab our usual snacks and go and sit down. We were watching 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'.

"Oh my god, I love Jim Carrey." I giggle.

"Me too!" Will exclaims.

We watch the whole movie, then a message displays on the screen saying...

Releasing today, by O(+>. A very special song, written for a special someone...

I furrow my brows, what's going on? Alright who told him I was here? The clip begins to play, he shows up on the screen, beginning to sing.

"Could U be The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.
It's plain 2 See, U're the Reason That God Made A Girl..."

Clips of me start to play which make me gasp, I put my hand over my mouth with one hand and the other on my chest as I listen and watch.

"When the day turns into the last day of all time Eye can say.
Eye hope U are in these arms of mine,
And when the night falls before that day Eye will cry..."

Tears begin to form in my own eyes listening to the beautiful song, I can't believe he did all this...for me.

I pay close attention to watching him on the screen...it's been such a long time since I've actually seen him face to face let alone on a screen.

The song comes to a euphoric end, with him looking directly into the camera, whispering.

"Katherine, I love you."

Oh my god...

The lights come on into the theatre and everyone casually gets up and leaves like nothing happened, thank God. I don't want anyone noticing I was there and annoying me with questions. Once Will and I return to the apartment, Will gets dressed into his suit to go to his office for a quick meeting.

But he first goes over to his answering machine seeing there's a new message on there, he presses play. My eyes widen once I know who's voice it is.

"Katherine? I don't know if you're there or not. Don't be mad at him but Jerome gave me this number, he hasn't told me where you are or...anyone for that matter. I know you're still hurt and mad, I hate myself for what I've done to you. It's been three weeks without you and I feel like I've already lost you, I honestly can't work or even function without you. You're my heart and soul, please...just come home? I'm willing to do absolutely anything to make this work, just...please, Katherine. I love you, so so much. Words cannot even describe."

My heart breaks listening to that message, tears roll down my cheeks at hearing how broken he was on the phone. A part of me feels terrible for his current state but the majority of me doesn't...because now he understands how I feel.

Will sighs and turns to look at me.

"When are you actually going to talk to him, sweetie?" He asks.

"When I'm ready." I whisper.

"You've been saying that since you got here...it's been three weeks, coming close to nearly a month now. You can't ignore him forever." He says.

I hate admitting Will is right, because the bastard actually has a "I Told You So" dance and I'm not in the mood for it. So I just look away and stare in a space.

"Look, you're gonna have to talk to him eventually. Yes he hurt you by keeping this business with Mayte a secret...but what do you think you being here away from him is doing to him right now?" He asks.

I look up at Will.

"Space." I answer.

"Wrong. He thinks you're leaving him, at first he might have thought it was space maybe in the first week of of being gone, second week okay maybe he thought you were punishing him. But nearly a month he's probably losing the plot, he's probably in the mindset that you're going to end things. Is that what you want?" Will asks.

"No..." I say.

"Then do something about it. Giving him the silent treatment and being away from him is going to do jack! You dragging this out is making you worse than the actual situation." He admits.

My jaw drops.

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"You heard me. The longer you stay away, the more convinced he's gonna be that you don't want this anymore. And who do you think is gonna be there when he realises that? Because who wanted this to happen in the first place?" Will raises an eyebrow.

I furrow my brows, then my eyes widen. Oh hell naw.

"Get my coat." I demand.

Will smirks and grabs my coat, putting it on me. He kisses my cheek, opening the door for me.

"Go get him, Tiger." He says.

I get in the car and make my way over to Paisley Park. Once I arrived I practically leap out of the car, I walk up to the front door and unlock it with my set of keys. I walk inside and practically feel the dark energy bouncing off the walls. I walk around until I find him, since he doesn't have a name anymore I can't just call out to him. I find him sitting in a dark room, he doesn't even look up at me.

"Hey..." I say, looking at his tired broken state.

He finally looks up at me, his face relaxing and tears welling up in his eyes.

"Katherine?" He whispers.

A/N: Yes I know what you're thinking...I did intend the best friend Will as in from 'Will & Grace' 😂 I was watching it the other day and couldn't come up with a good guy best friend character and then an episode from that show popped up on screen and I was like "Yes! Will is the perfect guy best friend!" So yes I used him in there. I'd love to have Will Truman as my best friend.
