Say you're okay
I'm afraid that tomorrow is just too far away
Fight the pain
It just feels like forever is crashing down on me
Don't let go, time will heal
Just don't let go
One day we can learn to start again
Feels Like Forever ~ Of Mice & Men
Blake was late and when he finally arrived he walked straight into his office and slammed the door hard enough that Elliot stopped Brian and Zack in the middle of recording.
"What's his problem?" Matt asked, falling into the seat next to me.
It had been a week since dinner at my place and Matt and I had hung out pretty much everyday. We got on so well, he was like my new best friend. I was amazed at how much we had in common.
"No idea." I told him, although I had an idea, my guess was that Rosie had finally told him she was pregnant.
"He seems a little pissed."
"A little?" I snorted.
"He completely fucked that up." Elliot called. "From the top guys."
"Peyton, go sort him out." Sam told me.
"No way." I wasn't going in there. "You."
"Fuck, fine." He muttered walking to the door.
He knocked lightly.
"WHAT?" Blake screamed.
Sam opened the door and went in and I mentally wished him luck.
"Yeah let's break guy's." Elliot told everyone.
"Good idea." I agreed.
"Damn, we're so close." Brian said.
It was true, maybe one more week and the recording would be done. That thought depressed me a little, I'd gotten so used to them all.
"What are you doing this weekend?" Matt asked me quietly.
"My brother and his kids are coming down, you should come over."
He smiled. "Sure."
My brother was coming down from San Francisco with my two nephews, as much as I disliked children, those two I adored.
"WHERE'S THAT PRICK?" Rosie screamed, walking in the door.
I got up, going to her, she'd been crying and she was in a state.
"You okay?" I asked softly.
"No, I'm going to kill him." She said barging into the office. "You. Fuck off." She yelled at Sam.
I'd never seen someone exit a room so quickly.
"Let's go outside." Matt said to me, and I followed him out.
We sat on the chairs out there.
"Do you know what that's all about?" He asked me.
"Yes, but you can't say a word."
"I won't." He agreed.
"Rosie is pregnant, Blake hates kids."
"Ahhhhh." He said. "I see."
I nodded, it was a messy situation.
"Tiff wanted kids." He suddenly said.
"You didn't?" I asked, feeling a little uncomfortable. Matt didn't talk about his wife very often and when he did I tried to be understanding.
"It was complicated." He muttered.
He opened his mouth to say something else when the door flew open and Rosie came out.
"DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME." Blake screamed.
"FUCK OFF."
Poor Rosie, she had tears running down her cheeks.
I stood up just as Blake came out the door.
"How Rosie?" He asked exasperated.
"How do you think you dumb prick." She screeched. "You couldn't keep your dick in your pants."
Blake rolled his eyes and I had to cover my smirk with my hand.
"Peyton, come." She snapped at me.
"Now wait just a sec...."
"Fuck off." She screamed.
I quickly followed her and jumped in the car.
"Sorry." She said as we pulled away.
"I guess it didn't go so well."
"What, no, it went well." She said. "We're having a baby."
Wait, I was confused.
"He's being grumpy but he's secretly happy Peyton." She told me. "You forget I know that man better than anybody else."
I let out my breath. "Thank god."
"You're going to be a godmother."
Great.
"And anyway Peyton, I thought I told you to stay away from Matt?"
"We're friends Rosie." I told her. "That's all."
"Look Peyton, it's not that I don't like him, I do, alot, honestly he'd be a great guy for you, he's just not ready."
"Rosie I'm not ready and trust me, I have no romantic interest in Matt whatsoever."
"Good I'm glad because my cousin is coming down next week and you have a date with him."
Just great!
