Love Never Dies (Book 2)

Chapter 2

"Hello Kennedy." I greet.

"Hey there Bryn. We have that special meeting today in the Meeting room." She states.

"Ok, sounds good. When?"

"Couple minutes."

"Ok let me set these down and get my Mac and we can go."

I set down my bags and grab my case with my Apple Macbook Air computer in it. I also grab the set of keys for most of the offices and head out the door, with Kennedy right behind.

Kennedy keeps a conversation going as we walk through the shop and to the room where we have meetings, also called the Meeting Room.

All the racers and the crews should be working with the cars except Dale and Kasey.

I had asked Mr. Hendrick to make a meeting with them so they could know I was still here. I know Kasey already did but I felt he should also be there.

I had finally decided pushing myself away wasn't the best thing for anyone. And I wasn't going to tell everyone, just some of the guys here at the shop. And maybe some day I could tell others, but for now, I didn't want everyone knowing.

As we passed by the garages, where the cars were, I couldn't help myself but look in. I saw them all circled by their cars talking over strategies.

I had started remembering all the memories of the times where I would join in and talk over strategies with them, that I hadn't realized I stopped in front of the window to the garage until Kennedy yelled to me.

"Hey! Come on, you're going to get seen doing that."

*Chase's POV*

"So this weekends race strategies, anyone have anything?" Alan announces.

Some of my crew start in on a conversation of a strategy, while I zone out.

"I will love you, I will hold you, I will take care of you at all times. I will watch over you as you will still amaze me, because there is going to be many times you will still amaze me. I promise I will always love you." I smile at Bryn, who was crying happy tears.

"Hey Chase!"

"Huh?"

"Are you even paying attention?"

"Sorry, just one of those days. I just can't seem to focus on anything."

"Chase I need you to stop. You need to focus. We want to win this weekend, but we can't if the driver won't pay attention to what we need to go over with the car and everything else."

"I'm sorry."

"Well go do something to clear your head!" Alan yells.

I look over at the door and through the window, I see what seems to be a girl quickly turning away from the door and towards the end of the hall where Mr. Hendrick's office is.

"I think I'll take a walk around the shop." I state quickly, then fast walking towards the exiting doors.

Every time I see a female that I don't recognize, or see daily, I follow them until I can clerify if they are Bryn.

But I know it's not Bryn, because everyone says she either moved to Virginia or New Hampshire to be with family.

But it kills me to think I'm the one that pushed her away from something she loves, and has grown into. She became a part of the Nascar family the first day she went to one of Denny's races.

But know she can't. And it's because of me. I pushed away the love of my life, because I was having my own issues. And I could have talked to her about them and we could have worked something out.

I make it to the door and pull it open and walk into the hallway. As I look down the hall I see Kennedy walk into the Meeting room and then hear the door lock.

I guess it was just a sponsorship or some sort. That's the only reason we ever lock the door is because of some special meeting with a sponsor or partnership.

*Bryn' POV*

Kennedy holds the door open for me and I walk in. I see Kasey and Dale sitting with their backs to the door and Mr. Hendrick facing the door.

"Ah there you two are." Mr. Hendrick states.

Both Dale and Kasey turn to face me.

"Bryn?" Dale asks.

"Hey Dale." I wave.

"Wait what is going on?"

"Dale, Kasey, this is what the meeting is for." Mr. Hendrick addressed.

Kennedy sits next to Mr. Hendrick and I sit in the chair at the end of the table.

"I thought you left Charlotte?" Dale continues.

"I saw Kasey last week before the race weekend. I didn't explain what really happened or wants going on, but I thought I should at least let you two know what's going on with me."

"Why us?" Kasey questions.

"Will, JH, Erik, and Reed are the only drivers that know. While Mr. Hendrick is the only other person that knows. And I can't hide forever."

They nod, which tells me to continue.

"So after the divorce I did lay low. I moved in with Will and tried to figure out what I wanted to do. My original plan was to move up to Virginia and live around my family. But I kept thinking that I couldn't leave this family, the family I've grown into. So I talked to Mr. Hendrick he told me I could keep my job and still lay low from everyone. I do the interviews and meetings with sponsorships and office work, while Kennedy goes to the track to keeping Will in place. But I ran into Chase for the first time last week and it reminded me that I need to hide. But I talked to Will and JH and they've talked me into a better path. And thanks to them I'm still sane. I decided I wanted you guys to know in case I ran into you."

"What about Chase?"

"I.."

I don't know.
