*Carry On*

**Kaylyn's POV**

I lean against the wall in the empty hallway and sigh as Matt starts rambling about the terms and conditions of this contract. I can already tell that leaving is a better option because there is no way that I'm always going to be able to stay 2 feet away from Brian...I mean, this hallway is only maybe 4 feet wide...are we supposed to skim the walls so we both keep our forced personal space?!

I walk back into my room and stuff everything back in my suitcase before zippering it up and making my way out to say goodbye.

I approach the living room and hear Matt say, "Look, I know break ups hurt, Haner, but they happen. It's no big deal..." before Brian goes off on him.

"It's no big deal?!" he interjects with a slightly sarcastic tone. "It's no big deal?! You've got a lot of fucking nerve, Sanders! So apparently my life is a big freaking joke with no meaning....So having the woman I gave my heart and soul to just up and fucking leave me sta--you know what, fuck you Matt!" he screams and walks out of the house.

Oh shit! I think I know what Aubrey did that was so painful...I need to talk to Brian!

I drop my suitcase in the entrance way and Matt and Jimmy both look up at me, "Are you leaving??" Jimmy asks and I shrug.

"Honestly I was, but I think I know what Aubrey did to him and I understand the pain he's going through...trust me, I can help him but I can't do it with some stupid contract hanging over our heads" I state and Matt lets out a huff while Jimmy looks at me in disbelief. I know that he knows the truth about what went down but swore to keep it a secret to protect Brian.

"I'll put the contract off for a few days to see if you can get him to open up...fuck knows I can't" Matt says and I rush out the patio door but Brian is gone.

Jimmy steps out on the patio and tells me that he probably went to the beach and I turn and give him a grateful hug...as I pull away and he turns to head back inside, I blurt out, "She was supposed to marry him but didn't show up, right??" but he walks back inside and never responds.

I start walking towards the beach and keep wondering if my assumptions about this heartless woman are correct. I mean, Brian is charming, sexy, funny, an incredible lover and a musical genius...how could anyone willfully give that up?!

I spot a man sitting out in the sand and softly singing to himself and recognize his flawless profile as I get closer, "Brian?" I say softly and he flicks his cigarette into the sand and slowly turns to face me.

I take a seat in the sand next to him and rest my head against his shoulder. He shoots me a sideways glance and let's out a half-hearted chuckle, "You're going to get us both fired, you know that right?"

I turn my head to face him, "Relax, I've soothed the savage beast know as Matt for a few days, so I think we will be fine" I say with a smirk and he full on laughs out loud.

"Wow, you definitely need to teach me your tricks of the trade, because I haven't been able to get him off my ass since-" he laughs but stops abruptly.

I turn slightly and sit on his legs so he can't run, "Since Aubrey left you at the alter?" I question and brace myself for the possible backlash of my inquisition.

Brian's expression changes from sad to mad and he attempts to run but I pin him down. "Get off of me!! What did you do...suck or fuck that information out of Jimmy?!?" he screams and pushes me off his legs.

I'm a little hurt by his words but I shake it off and grab ahold of him before he can run away again. "No! You started to say that she left you standing somewhere, during your argument with Matt and I put two and two together!" I say and he relaxes slightly. "I could tell that what happened went beyond a normal breakup so please forgive me for my brash but I'm guessing, correct assumption"

He groans and falls back against the sand, "Can we please talk about something else? I'm trying not to be an asshole, and the subject of her always turns me into one" he says and I nod my head and lay down across his chest.

"I'm sorry if I took things too far before, but I just got out of a complicated relationship as well and for some reason...you make the pain of it go away" I admit and he wraps his arms around me.

"Please don't apologize for before because that was amazing" he whispers and I can't help but blush and bury my face against his chest. "I had a great time and I know what you mean about-" he states, but tense up before he finishes his sentence.

I glance up at him and notice he's watching as a crowd of people start moving towards us. His breathing becomes panicked and part of me wonders..

is Aubrey one of them?!
