The day was calm and going great in Los Angeles Centre Studio. The cast, with the crew also there, were rehearsing for the live taping they would be doing the next Tuesday as usual. Everybody's mine was at peace, except for one.

A few weeks earlier, Ben was at lunch with his girl friend. They were talking until she brought the new guy she had been seeing for the past 2 months. He asked her who it was since he was curious. He was overwhelmed with surprise when she heard the name "Tim Belusko", the name of his best friend's husband. How could he ever tell one of best person he knows that her husband is cheating on her? What if she's completely broken after, which she might be? All these questions roamed his mind. He decided that for now, he would keep it to himself.

Now, here he was, a few weeks later, practically lying to her. Maybe he should've told her right away. The one thing he knew is that he couldn't keep it in any longer. He had to tell her. He made his way to her dressing room and knocked on the door.

"Um, Danielle, can I come in?" he asked.

"Yeah, come in." she said before he opened the door, and entered the room. "What's up?" she asked, smiling with her casual warm smile. Ben returned the warm smile as his heart melted just a little more at her sight. He knows he has strong feelings for her but he has trouble admitting it.

"I was wondering if I could maybe go to your house after rehearsal? I have something important to talk to you about." he said while scratching the back of his head with one hand, and his other hand in his pocket.

"Uh... Yeah, sure." she said with concern. She wondered what was going on with him. He wasn't acting lie his usual self; being loud, and goofy all the time. Lately he had been more quiet and to himself which was very unlike him.

Danielle had just arrived in her house. She was currently waiting for Ben to arrive when her husband came through the door.

"Hey," he greeted.

"Hi," she said back. "Um, Ben is coming over in a bit. Is that ok?" she asked. She her husband felt a bit threatened by Ben even though she keeps reassuring him that he has nothing to worry about. She did feel that he was getting further away from her but she didn't know why.

"I would've like you to tell me sooner but he's already on his way so sure, whatever." he said careless. She sighed at his response. Tim made his way upstairs when the doorbell rang. She opened it only to reveal her co-star and best friend.

"Hey, Ben. Come in." she said as he walked into the house.

"Hey..." he greeted back.

"So... What was it that you wanted to talk to me about that was so important?" she said while he was hanging his coat on a hook. They made their way to the kitchen. Danielle sat behind the counter while Ben was on the other side of it.

"Ok, what I'm about to tell you won't please you... at all. It's really—" he stated before she interrupted him.

"Ben, please, just go straight to it." she said. He sighed heavily and proceeded.

"It's about your husband. He's—" he stopped when they both turned their heads to see Tim coming down the stairs.

"Hey..." he said making his way to the kitchen where they were. He made his way to Danielle and wrapped his arm around her. As soon as Ben saw it, he felt uncomfortable and jealous. Knowing that Tim was cheating made him boil so much inside.

"Um, Tim, could you please come back later. I was just talking to Ben about something important." she told her husband as she was trying to get out of his embrace. He just wouldn't let her go.

"Come on, I'm your husband. Shouldn't I be aloud to know?" Tim asked in a low voice in her ear so Ben wouldn't hear, tightening his grip around her as she was still trying to get away.

"Please, I want to talk to Ben. Stop." she said lowly. He wouldn't let her go even after she told him to stop times after times. Ben was getting more and more angry by it.

"She told you to stop!" Ben yelled. It caught the two others by surprise. They just all sat there for a moment in silence.

"You know what, Danielle, I'll tell you tomorrow. It's better if I go." He said basically running out of the house.

Plus, people aren't really updating their stories right now so if I can't read I can at least write. Hope you'll enjoy my story:)
