A couple of days later, I was at a shooting on a park close to the hotel, when I focused a distant spot I saw on the camera something that couldn't be there. I thought I was going crazy. I focused again. It wasn't an alucination. It really was David coming towards me.
My legs trembled, my mouth was dry, the image on the camera was blurred because of my trembling hands, what the fuck he was doing in São Paulo?
I guess he had a lot of things to explain, but I wasn't expecting he had found out where I was and had just showed up there. My stomach was roiling, he held my camera and asked if we could talk in private.
I had no doubts about being rude with him, my voice was still trembling when I spoke...
"Can't you see that I'm working here?"
I hadn't been able to face him yet, his voice was low, he seemed nervous, embarrassed...
"Anne, I came all this way to tell you exactly everything that happened, you have to listen to me!"
He touched my arm, I moved away, my eyes filled with tears, I was very unstable...
"David, leave me alone please, this is a working enviroment, can you respect that?"
"Anne, I'm gonna beg for your attention, even if I have to scream here, s everybody can hear…"
Nobody had noticed him, there were a lot of extras there, but it was impossible for me to continue, I was sweating and trembling…
"Let's get out of here."
While I was getting my stuff, he was walking behind me…
"Where are we going?"
"We? WE are not going anywhere David, you made all of this and you think you can just show up here, make me lose focus, apologize and I'm gonna accept as usual, do you think it's easy for me to see my brother in that jail? Matt is a kid, he doesn't know anything, and I'm sure that as myself, he always trusted you…
"Anne, listen to me..."
"No David, you listen. Drugs? Do you have any Idea how serious this is? We grew up together, and I had never seen you with these things… after this damn show you turned into somebody else… and I just won't accept that you take my brother with you in this…."
He grabbed my arm...
"Listen to me..."
I lost control, I pushed him away and yelled, already crying...
"Let go of me! What do you want, David? You already hurt me enough, I made mistakes with you too, but Matt was always your loyal friend, he was always by your side, I won't admit that you do any harm to him…. How could you let your label bail you out of jail and leave Matt there? Did your producers grow up with you? Did your producers support you when you were nobody?"
His eyes were filled with tears too…
"Well Anne, I can see you're more disappointed with me than I imagined, I actually hoped you would believe me, but I came here to tell you two things, one of them is that I'm innocent, and I'm gonna prove this to you somehow, I just don't know how… not yet…"
He wiped the tears away, but they kept coming, he looked away, took a deep breath…
"And the last thing, I got rid of that clause... actually I don't even have the contract anymore, and I got rid of Kim too... she also didn't trust me…"
"While you don't confess, nobody will trust you..."
He hugged me, I was paralyzed, didn't hug him back, and before leaving, he said...
"You'll understand someday..."
