*Carry On*

**Kaylyn's POV**

I bury my face in my tear stained pillow...what in the world is wrong with me?! Why did my last relationship fail....why do they all seem to?! I must have some huge flaw that everyone must see but me.

I really thought this last one would be it for me....Alex and I were perfect together but he ended it with no warning, so now I'm left confused and heartbroken, sobbing face down on my bed.

I know what your thinking...just get over it...but it's not that simple. I gave my heart and soul to Alex and he ripped it from my chest and crushed it right in front if me. I know I shouldn't let it get me down, after all, I still have a hugely successful career which I love. I was stupid to get involved with a client...I should have known that it wasn't a smart decision...both emotionally and professionally but I won't make that mistake again.

My cell phone starts ringing and it's my assistant, "Hey, what's up?" I say as I sniffle back the tears.

She sighs loudly on the other end of the line, "Look Kaylyn...you need to pull yourself together. He's just another jerk in the long list of assholes on this planet...don't let him win by falling apart at the seams" she states firmly then continues in a softer tone, "I have Zacky Vengeance from Avenged Sevenfold on the other line who is requesting your help with a 'sensitive situation' they would resolved ASAP, can I put him through?"

I tell her that's ok and get my PR game face on....I'm the best in the business and I'm not ashamed to brag about it. The call connects and I greet my new client, "Hello Mr. Vengeance, I'm Kaylyn Rizzo...how can I help you?" I say in a fake chipper tone so he doesn't know what an emotional mess I am.

"Hi Kaylyn, it's nice to meet you but I'm not the one who needs the help....my bandmate Brian Haner Jr. aka Synyster Gates, does" he states in a concerned tone and I make my way over to my laptop and type in 'Synyster Gates' on Google and my jaw hits the floor...holy shit, he is FLAWLESS!!! No...stop drooling over his looks...didn't you learn your lesson with mixing business and pleasure?! I realize that I haven't said anything for a few minutes so Zacky clears his throat and continues, "He's completely out of control and just got thrown in jail last night...we could really use your help" he finishes and I notice that they are in California and I'm in NYC.

"That's fine but I'm in New York City and you guys are in Cali, is it ok if I crash at one of your places until I find a rental?" I ask and he chuckles.

"You can stay at Brian's house in the guest room...I think it would be better if you were around him all the time anyhow.. so don't worry about the rental" he says cheerfully and my stomach churns.

How am I supposed to be constantly around someone who is that handsome, and according to the internet, is a known ladies man, this soon after my last breakup without being a snarky bitch to him?!? I bite the inside of my cheek, "Ok Zacky, I'll be there tomorrow, and don't worry....I'm the best at what I do" I convince him.

Now all I have to do is convince myself that I can handle this.

Notes

Hope you enjoyed this intro into Kaylyn's current emotional state and her hesitations with meeting the oh so perfect, Synyster Gates ;D

I'll try and make the next chapter longer, I swear!


How do you all think the meeting will go?
Will sparks fly or will they be at each other's throats?

oh FYI, I'm picturing her ex at the handsome Alexander Skarsgård (actor)...that's why his name is Alex ;)
