Our Secret Dream 2

Past Secret's Found

I wonder what could be in the envelope, I'm not sure why but my breath catches in the back of my throat and my heart starts to race. I'm not sure why Zack decided to leave LA, the boys have never really talked about it. All I know is one second he was here and the next he wasn't. It was never really my place to ask anyway. I don't like to think bad of people but I just get the vibe that the boys didn't like him and something terrible must have happened. Either way I hope he's happy wherever he might be.

I flip the envelop over and undo the tie, I look inside and it appears to be a contract or something. I take out the documents and read as much as I can.

Ten minutes later I have finished reading the document and I am fucking fuming. I cant even begin to imagine how Bryan is going to be when I tell him. I don't want to believe that this was intentional....but that's what it looks like.

The document was an offer for a Netflix movie, one that has already been released. Why would he not show this to anyone. This could have jump started his career into acting. Did he not know? Surely Bryan would have said something if he had known about an offer like this? Why am I always the one to find crap like this and have to tell him. Watch the pain in his eyes. I pick up my phone and call B, he was out with the boys shopping, trying to spend a much needed boys day with them and here I am bothering him when he deserved time away with his friends.

Bryan: Hi baby, how come you didn't facetime?

Skylar: Hi Bubs, No reason. I can call you back on facetime if you want?

Bryan: It's okay, how's the sorting going.

Skylar: It's going well. That's actually why I called, I found something that I think I should show you. What time do you think you'll be back?

Bryan: Um maybe an hour, we are going to get some food on the way.

Skylar: Okay, come find me when your back.

Bryan: Is everything okay?

Skylar: I'm fine love. I-uh have fun with the boys we can talk whenever your back.

Bryan: You sure, you sound annoyed and upset? Like you want to punch someone.

Skylar: I am babe, I'm still processing. See you soon okay. I love you.

Bryan: Did you want me to come back now? I could be with you in like 20 minutes.

Skylar: No baby, it can wait. Enjoy the time with the boys.

Bryan: I love you

Skylar: Love you.

We hang up and I take a minute to process what I've found, I tilt my head back against the cold metal of the cabinets trying to put everything together. Bryan couldn't have known about this, he would have said something and he would have jumped at the opportunity to get into acting. I guess their is only one other person who might know something. Mel. Pushing up from the floor I gather the envelop and head out of the office in search of her, I find her with Leaha at the dinning room table deep in conversation. I clear my throat and they both look up at me. They both smile and I attempt a warm smile before I ask Leaha to give us a minute in private.

Mel looks at me confused while I sit in the seat Leaha just vacated. The poor girl couldn't rush out of the room any faster.

Skylar: So, I found something of Zach's well Bryan's in the office and I need to know if you knew anything about it.

I slide over the documents. Mel looks at the envelope and then back at me. Still confused at my change in attitude and seriousness.

Skylar: Open it, read it and then tell me the truth.
