Beautiful Crazy

She's Unpredictable

One Year Ago

Maren looked at him with confusion in her eyes. Out of the 4 of them, Brian never visited her room. Seeing as how they weren't exactly fond of each other, whatever they said usually was conveyed while everyone was together or via a text or email. They didn't really have a reason to WANT to see each other more than they had too. Things only gotten worse between the two even though it's been a year since Marens been their manager. Everyone was hoping the two of them would get over themselves by now, but they still had daily snippy exchanges.

It was 8am and the knock on the door woke her up. It took her a few minutes to even open the door and invite him in, nervous that this couldn't possibly be anything good since it was so early.

"What's up Brian?" she managed to ask through a yawn as she tugged tighter on her bathrobe.

"Woke you up. Sorry. Didn't think about that." Brian apologetically glanced down at his coffee cup and held it up towards her. "Want my coffee?"

Maren smiled at his generous offer hopeful that he wasn't about to turn into an asshole, "I'm good, thank you though."

Brian nodded, "I just got a call from my agent. I was offered a small part in Twelve Monkeys, the Sci-Fi network show," he paused, turning his head slightly waiting for Maren to say something.

Maren furrowed her eyebrows at him, "Ok... congrats? What does this have to do with why you're standing in my room at 8am in the morning?"

Brian's ego was slightly hurt that she didn't share in his excitement, "I was getting to that," he pointed as he turned on that Q charm of his, "Turns out the days they need me to film overlap with some of the proposed tour dates you've given us."

Before Maren could control it, she let out a groan of frustration before she clapped her hands together, " I KNEW it. I KNEW it wasn't good news when YOU show up at my door at 8am." Maren shouldn't be talking to her boss this way but she was over Brian's bullshit and this was just icing on the cake. Coming up with a tour date schedule was no easy feat considering she handled all four of the guys schedules and calendars and all were extremely busy outside of The Tenderloin and Impractical Jokers. They were very close to finalizing the dates after several revisions already. Now this.

Already hurt because Maren didn't respond to his latest rise to fame the way one of his groupies would, her hissy fit just now didn't exactly sit well with him. "Hey at least I told you at all right?! I mean, I'm such an asshole I could have just let you find out from one of the other guys, or twitter or something right?! Here I thought I was doing the right thing, going to the person who handles our scheduling with, hmm a SCHEDULING ISSUE," his voice clearly conveyed his displeasure at how she was acting. "Sorry you have to do your JOB Maren," he barked glaring at her disapprovingly when he walked past her and out the door.

Maren shook her head in disgust. Grabbing a pillow off the bed, she screamed into it, "FUCK!"

"I heard. I just got off the phone with Maren also. I knew nothing about this." Kelsey's voice assured Sal and Joe who had her on speakerphone in Joe's room.

"I mean we've had four shows already Kel and everything's been fine.. why are they concerned all of a sudden?" Joe questioned. He didn't see the look on Sal's face but he heard him let out a slight moan.

"I'm looking into it Joe. I want to confirm he is with the network. I will get back to you as soon as I get some more info. Hang tight." Kelsey assured him, however Joes eyes were now fixated on Sal.

"Thanks Kel." Joe's eyes still hadn't left Sal as he hung up his phone.

Sal by this time was now pacing the room, overcome with nerves. "Fuck this man. This is so fucked."
