'Im sorry we just can't do this anymore.'
'Are things really that bad?'
Well, yes.. No, Zac I just don't know. I don't know what you want, what I want, if we want each other. I'm sorry.'
It had been 18 months since that day and as Zac ran ideas over in his head for his latest script his mind couldn't help but flit back and forth to that conversation, Could he have done something different? He had a feeling he'll never know, he hadn't even seen her, he'd read about her of course, she'd been in the press and her life seemed to be going okay which he was glad about, he didn't wish her any ill will; he just wanted things to be different.
He lay there for minutes and was only distracted by the sound of his buzzing iphone strewn along with his keys and wallet on his bedside table.
'Zac, listen I got your itinerary for tonight. Don't forget you have to be there at 7, no later.'
'Dude, I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about?'
'The dinner, you're scheduled to be there!'
Shit! The actors association dinner, the one he'd said yes to at the last minute, the one he didn't really want to go too; that dinner!
'And, I will. I'll be there, 7pm.' he sighed as he hung up the phone and went about finding a suit.
The day went quickly but simply, nothing much went, one meeting with management and a run with a few bits in between; a perfect but very rare day off; A perfect day to live in California.
6:30pm: A car horn beeped, and that was his cue, he caught a final look in the mirror, yeah he looked good, grabbed his ray bans, ensured he had a jacket and flew down the stairs into the cab.
'Chateau Marmont?' The cab driver asked carefully studying Zac.
'Yes, you gotta step on it though, i'm supposed to be there by 7pm.'
'Yeah sure, no problem.'
The 10 minute drive to West Hollywood, went quickly and fan presence outside was minimal, the one thing that Chateau Marmont was good at, ensuring that these events weren't too crowded.
'Thanks man.' Zac said rushing out the cab,as he rushed inside.
This event was going to be fun, not as boring as he'd first hoped as he arrived to the main functiion room, a rich decor of red and golds with a tables hidden behind a massive dancefloor.
'Drink?' A girl asked, holding a tray adorned with an array of beverages.
'Umm, yeah thanks.' Zac replied, distracted as he drank in the view, he;d been to events like this before, yet he still couldn't believe it, the grandeur and the splendour was something to be desired, wanted.
'Zac,' he heard someone shout his name and he spun round.
'Elisha, how it's going, girl?' he smiled, embracing her into a quick hug.
'Umm, yeah it's good.. How are you?'
'Can't complain. What's wrong?' He quizzed, she seemed distracted.
'Nothing, listen what do you know about this event?'
'Not much, it's kinda a last minute thing for me. I don't even know what i'm meant to do.' He chuckled.
'Ahh right, So you don't know anyone else, here?'
'No! Why?'
She took a deep breath and sighed, 'Nessa's here.'
