Anna's POV:
Zac and I had just arrived in New York when Brittany called me.
"Kendrick! How've you been?! We missed you at the party the other day."
"Aw. It's cute that you guys missed me." I said cockily. "I actually have a press conference soon so I have to go."
"Oh. Ok. I'll call you later then." Brittany said with what I thought sounded like disappointment in her voice.
"Ok bye." I said before hanging up.
I stood there lost in thought. I really did miss the Bellas. Especially Brittany. Not many people know this but I'm bisexual. It's not that I'm ashamed of it but I just like to keep my personal things private. As I stood there lost in thought Zac pulled me by the arm.
"What?" I snapped slightly annoyed that he had grabbed me so roughly.
"Come on, Tiny Banana. Let's go do our interview."
I sighed, annoyed at the nick name he had given me and got out of the car. They asked us the same boring questions every interviewer had been asking me for the past month. It was different this time with Zac though. I had been doing all my interviews with Aubrey up until today and it was nice to have someone else for a change. Not that I didn't love having Aubrey around. Zac was so thoughtful about every answer he gave and made sure to include me. As he talked about what the movie was about I got hooked into his beautiful face. His piercing blue eyes had me in a kind of trance. Everything about him seemed so perfect. When he turned to look at me and we made eye contact was when I got sucked into reality. 'What are you doing Kendrick?! You don't like Zac like that! You like Brittany!' At the end of the interview Zac and I went out to eat and then headed back to the hotel. When we got there, there seemed to be some trouble.
"We only have one room available." I heard the woman behind the counter with a name tag that read Ali say.
"Are you sure? We reserved 2. Can you check again?" Zac said.
"I'm sorry but it looks like you're going to have to share a room."
"It's fine. It's not a big deal." I said hating myself for actually being glad about the situation.
When we got to the room Zac decided to take a shower so I took the opportunity to call Brittany.
"Hey Britt! Sorry I couldn't call earlier."
"Hey I need to tell you some things." She said sort of anxiously.
"What is it?" I said now worried.
"I'll start with the bad news first. I may not be doing Pitch Perfect 3."
"WHAT?! Why?!" I shouted
"I've signed onto another big movie and the filming schedules might interfere."
"But you can't bail on us. You're a crucial part to the film. What about the fans? What about the rest of the girls...and me?"
"I'm sorry Kendrick. I didn't think you would be this upset. Anyways, the good news now. I'm seeing someone!"
It felt as if the weight of the world had dropped on my head and cracked my skull open and was slowly bleeding out. No words could come out of my mouth.
"Kendrick??"
"Oh." I finally managed to say. "That's great, Snow. Really great.... Listen, I've gotta go. Bye."
"Oh... Ok then bye."
After I hung up I layed down on my bed and cried for what seemed like a century. Suddenly I heard a door open. Fuck. I had forgotten about Zac. There he stood in the doorway. Shirtless and glowing like a Greek God.
"Anna! Are you ok? What happened??" he said rushing to my side.
"I'm- I'm fine." I said wiping tears off my face and embarrassed of how terrible I probably looked.
He held my face in his hands, looked me in my puffy red eyes, and said "No, You're not."
He quickly put on some clothes and pulled me into a tight embrace. Curling myself into a ball in his warm muscular arms was when I really cried. Cried because Brittany was with someone who wasn't me. Cried because she was really happy with whoever this was. Cried because I wouldn't even get to see her anymore since she is no longer doing PP3. And cried because I couldn't even have Zac who was the only person who was trying to make me feel better.
After I had practically bathed him again in a shower of my tears, Zac let me go and asked me if I wanted to talk about what had happened. When I slowly shook my head he grabbed my hands cupped them into his own and said "Anna, if this is about some guy you have to know that you deserve much better than a scum like that. You are so beautiful and smart and just amazing ok? So don't let a douche like that bring someone like you down. I'm gonna go get you some water." Little did he know that this "guy" was him and a woman named Brittany Snow.
