Amy’s POV
My stomach had dropped hearing Sara say those words about Brian, now I knew why he had behaved like he did on our goodbye.
Now I knew why he shook my hand instead of giving me a warm goodbye, why he didn’t ask me to meet up for the divorce that was why he could let me go just like that.

“Just two weeks of fun” I could hear Brian’s voice mocking me, probably talking with Matt about me right now, about the stupid and super naïve girl that had fallen for him in nothing less than two weeks.

Damn Amy, you knew better than that!
And then… it still happened!

He was a playboy a rockstar, he had women hanging all over him… god I really was stupid and naïve!
As soon as he would send me those papers I would sign them, fill out a check and be done with this whole charade.

Thank god no one beside us knew of all this, and thank god Phoenix was farther far away from Huntington so we wouldn’t be walking into each other ever again.
How awkward would that be?

‘Look that’s my stupid ex-wife’ I mentally mocked myself but hearing Brian’ voice instead while other women were hanging all over him.
I fiddled around with the ring on my finger, I should take it off, right? Now everything was really over…

I let the ring slip from my finger and had a look at it, Sara had closed her eyes for a moment so I took the chance, reading the words inside the ring… a warm and fuzzy feeling wanted to spread in my stomach but I refused to let it happen.

I put the ring back on and would get rid of it as soon as I was home, I could probably send it back together with the check and the signed divorce papers, then he could sell it or give it to the next women waiting on his doorstep.

Wow Amy, really? Are we a little bitter, huh?!
It’s not really his fault, he just acted like we both planned, you were the one to think too much into it, you were the one falling for the man that name you had drunkenly agreed to take as yours!

I let my head fall back and sighed heavily, how long would Brian take to talk to his lawyer and get everything done?
He would probably pay him a fortune to get it done as quickly as possible, would be the best for all of us.

I looked to Sara at my side, her eyes were open and she stared at her phone. I tried to lift myself up to see what she was doing. She stared at her wallpaper a small and sad smile on her face, while her finger brushed over the screen of her phone, when she noticed me looking at her she quickly put it away.

She gave me a fake smile and I lifted my brow at her, really? You try that with me?! I thought but she seemed to get my meaning without putting words to it.
“What? I’m fine… Just wanted to check my-” She stumbled upon her own words and I just waited for her to spill the truth, because we both know she was trying to sell me some bullshit!
“Fine… whatever” Sara rolled her eyes and I waited for more but she acted like she was having a huge interest in the movie from now on.

“Sara! I had to spill now you will” I said and she sighed like she had the weighed of the world on her shoulders.
“What is there to spill, I told you already… I’m fine. We are going back to real life… that’s it. We agreed to it, we both came out of relationships; we needed some fun time to get over it. I am over it, couldn’t be better, right?” Sara said and I would have nearly believed her, if I wouldn’t know her so good and if she wouldn’t have told me before that she did have some feelings for him, even though now she tried to deny them.

“Sara…” I sighed and she let her shoulders slump down “You know better than to fuck with me… come on, tell me the truth, what did that big hunk of a man do to you” I asked and she closed her eyes for a moment.

“I have no idea Ames… When I was with him… I never even thought about Marc or the break up, he made me feel good… We fitted, Amy. But… it was a vacation fling, that’s what it was. We probably would never fit in real life…” She trailed off and I took her hand in mine, patting it lightly “Sara, you know it’s not-”

“I know! And he never even asked if we should maybe meet again, or if I wanted to see him again… I know it would probably be even worse if we planned something like that, or if he would be all nice asking me to see him again, and then him being a no-show… but you know what! Fuck them! Let’s keep this as a nice memory, but that’s it. Now, we go back to business… I take my work back to my own hands so do you, we gonna be successful and then we gonna find some nice guys to hang out with, not some rock stars that just mean to harm our hearts, what do you say?” Sara sat up straight and looked full of energy now, and I couldn’t help but nod.

“You are right! Let’s quickly check in to work, then meet back at my place tomorrow right away! The weekend is coming anyway… we could hang out and… well if nothing helps drink our sorrow away” I grinned and Sara’s eyes lit up.

“That my friend, is a perfect idea!” She grinned and hugged me halfway in the seat.
“We will be fine.” I said and Sara nodded, but as soon as we settled back in out seat we both went silent, we could pretend all we wanted, we would both need some time to forget the trip and go back to how we were before.

When we arrived at the airport I saw some people with camera’s around, would someone famous land in Phoenix? Something we hadn’t got any information on?
But how could we, we have been living on a freaking tropical island for two weeks without any real connection to the outta world, so even if Madonna would be walking in here any second, we wouldn’t know about it.

“What is going on here?” Sara looked around while grabbing her suitcase and I lifted mine off as well.
“No idea” I shook my head glancing around.
We walked past the people standing around and neared the exit when I heard a yelling behind me.
“That must be her” I turned around to see if really a celebrity was here but instead some cameras were flashing in my and Sara’s direction.

“What the fuck” Sara hissed turning away and dragging me along. “Shit shit shit, let’s get out of here” She dragged me out of the exit and I kept a firm hold on my suitcase afraid with the way she hurried I would lose it.

“What is going on?!” I hissed out but Sara just kept on moving.
“Where is your husband?” A voice said but before I knew it I sat in a cab and the door closed right in front of my face.

Sara was already giving directions towards cab driver and I frowned, were they really making pictures of me?
That couldn’t be true? Could it?
“What the hell happened there? How did they know all that? And what the hell did they want?” Sara looked at me from the side.

“Are you okay?” She asked after a moment and I frowned, “You don’t think they were there because of me, right? That’s just ridiculous. There must have been someone they wanted to see…” I shook my head and Sara lifted her eyebrow.

“Ames, they were there because of you. Or why would you think that two guys with camera’s were running after you, questioning where your husband was?” She asked and I shook my head again not believing, that was a misunderstanding, nothing else.

“Maybe you should head back to your home, and call in for work that you won’t show up, cause of-” Sara began and I shook my head “No way, did you not listen to what I said earlier, I may have my first case… I won’t let that chance slip through my fingers because of some guys with camera’s… This will be all solved in no time… I don’t think that this was really what you think it was.” I said while the cab driver stopped at my apartment.

“18 Dollars” The driver said and I handed him twenty while getting out. “You want to come in with me, or going straight home?” I asked and Sara seemed uncertain “You want me to come in?” She asked and I stood up straight “No… maybe it’s best we both settle a few things first and then meet back tomorrow?” I asked and she nodded finally.

“Okay, I’ll call you later Ames… and don’t answer any phone calls beside numbers you know” She said and I closed the car door rolling my eyes. What was she thinking… she was making such a big deal out of this, when we both knew that this probably was just a misunderstanding… I did marry Brian but he wasn’t that famous that anyone would now wait for me at the airport or stalk me, I think Sara watched too many movies lately.

Matt’s POV
Okay, something had happened between Amy and Gates but I had no idea what. Brian was behaving like a giant ass and I had no hint about the reason.

He could deny as much as he wanted that he has no feelings for Amy, but I could see past his Gates charade. He was my best friends since years, did he really think he could fool me?!
But then why was he reacting the way he did?

And then it came to me… Amy must have hurt him with something.. probably without even knowing and that was why Gates was playing the diva here.
I knew I shouldn’t have told him about Amy falling for him, I even promised Sara that, but then again… I wouldn’t be seeing Sara again, so I wasn’t obliged to hold on to that promise or? Not like she could make me pay for it anyway…

And if she could… I could think of some ways I would enjoy a little punishment… I grinned to myself but my heart painfully squeezed when I realized that none of that would be happening.

“Well I guess that ‘someone’ couldn’t have been more wrong. Because believe me , she wanted to get rid of me that fast… The divorce papers are probably already in the mail” Brian hissed and then turned away, looking out of the small window.
And now I knew why, he didn’t want me to see that he got hurt, he wanted to take his time masking it away.

But not with me buddy, I just puked my heart out for him, about not wanting me and Sara to end and now it was his turn to come clean.

“Stop the fucking bullshit, Haner. I saw you and Amy, I know you feel more… so what did she do to make you think that?” I asked straight and Brian’s head snapped to me, his mouth hanging open disbelief on his face.
“Sanders, don’t get on my nerves. I told you everything” He said his eyes narrowed.

“So if she was just a good lay… you wouldn’t mind for example for Zack getting her number… calling her up or something… I think I saw a connection between those two, I mean have you seen how long he hugged her and how they whispered… They probably already exchanged numbers… but you wouldn’t mind, right?” I so pushed his buttons, the vein in his neck was pulsating, he swallowed thickly.

“She can do whatever she wants as soon as the divorce is through” He gritted out “And if one of my best friends wants to fuck my ex- wife… To hell with them” He turned away, pulling his mp3 player out and tugging the earplugs in, shutting me out and the rest of the world.

“Fucking liar” I hissed at him and he narrowed his eyes, ups… his music didn’t seem to be on already.
“Listen Sanders, I’m gonna tell you this now a final time. I heard her say to her fucked up boss that he should treat the divorce like any other case and not make a big deal out of it just because of her… So I think that is a clear sign that she wants to get this done as soon as possible. And she also added to me that we don’t even need to see us for the signing of the papers. Is that enough for you? She wants this to end, I want this to end… Yes, it was fun… for two weeks! That’s it… now I go back to my California girls, there are enough of them!” Brian ended his monologue and then the music from his earpieces began screaming and he turned away.

I gaped at him and couldn’t believe what he just said, Amy already arranged their divorce? But what with the things Sara said? And why would have Sara been so mad at Brian and bitchy to him if she knew Amy was already over it? Something was wrong on this story but I had no idea what…

I pulled my phone out without thinking, writing a message:
Hey babe, if you find some time you should call me, something weird is happening and I could need your help to-

I stopped myself, deleting every single word again, what the hell was I thinking… did I really just plan on writing Sara a message, when not even 2 hours ago we said goodbye and have a good life, never to see each other again?!
But then again I looked at Brian, he was miserable, if he wanted to admit it or not… and what if Sara and I were the only ones to know what was going on with our best friends?

Maybe it was our mission to figure this out and help them… would it be so bad to help our best friends and that Sara and I would see us again… for a good chores, of course!

Still I would wait a little, wait and see if Gates would spill some more Info before I would involve myself even more into something. Before I would make the wrong move and maybe ruin everything for Sara and me… and Amy and Brian.
Damn, I wished it was Sara and me… that sounded good to me, would she feel the same?

“Will you move or you wanna stay in the plane?” Brian tried to get me to stand up and I looked around, I hadn’t even noticed that everyone was leaving already.
We entered the airport and I quickly disguised myself, pulling my base cap deeper into my face, while Brian pulled his beanie on.

But that wouldn’t help us because people were swarming the area, some taking pictures, fans wanting us to sign stuff and again I wondered how they would know we would be here at this time, how did they always get this information.

And as if that wasn’t enough, some people were walking up straight to Brian asking him about his wife, he looked shocked and then shook his head, saying he wouldn’t give a comment to his private life.

Shit, how did the press and fans got wind of Brian’s marriage!
“Brian, come on… Why is your wife not with you? Where is she? How long did you know her before the wedding? Will you release wedding pics?” More and more voices were heard and I shook my head, what the fuck?!

I quickly pushed my way through the airport, trying to get rid of the followers, while I knew Brian was hot on my heels. He didn’t say anything, just followed me until we entered a cab and I threw our suitcases in the trunk.

We directed the cab to my home, Brian could then decide if he would stay or if he would make his way home, he could also borrow my car, if he wanted.

“What the fuck was that?” I hissed out and Brian put his head in his hands.
“I should have fucking knew it after the picture Zack told me about… but I had no idea it was spreading this wide already… Fucking world wide web” He mumbled and then his phone started ringing, he had a hopeful expression on his face, but when he saw the caller his expression dropped.

“Shit, that’s Larry. I can’t talk to him now, man… What should I tell him?!” Brian stared at his phone until it went silent without picking up.
Of course next my phone started to go off “And there he is again” I said and picked up, we would have to talk to him anyway.

“Where is Haner?” Larry’s voice booming in my ear, I cringed a little holding the speaker a little away.
“Right now?” I asked to buy some time and Brian closed his eyes in frustration.
“Sanders, don’t play dumb. I want both of you in my office tomorrow morning first thing!” And with that Larry hung up on me without saying anything else.

“And?” Brian asked just as the cab stopped at my house.
“Larry’s office tomorrow morning, I think he got wind of everything and we will have some explaining to do…” I said and Brian looked up in the sky as if waiting for someone or something to tell him what to do next and I wished I could help him somehow, but I had no idea.

Notes

Uh Oh, the press knows.... but Amy? Full on denial....
And Matt is calling bullshit on Brian...

What do you guys think?
Is a solution possible for all this mess?
