Kevin and Paul finished their breakfast and decided to head to the arena early so that Paul could talk to Stephanie before any of the meetings started and before a lot of people arrived so they both headed to their rooms and grabbed their kit and jumped into Kevin's rental car. Normally Paul would travel in the limo with Stephanie to the arena but as she wasn't around he had to find himself another way to get to the arena.
Once Paul arrived to the arena he checked with security to see if Stephanie had arrived yet but they said they could not tell him so Paul headed inside to check out the arena but before he headed off Kevin called him back, "Paul, be careful and don't do anything stupid with her. Don't push her just let her talk to you if she wants."
Paul looked at Kevin like he was crazy, "do I look stupid to you?"
Kevin shook his head, "Paul, I know how much you adore her and want her back but let her do things in her own time, don't push her."
Paul nodded his head in acknowledgement of what Kevin said, "thanks man, I'll try my best. I'll catch you later as I want to catch her before the meeting."
Kevin just watch his friend rush off hoping he didn't do anything stupid.
Paul had been wandering around backstage for about half an hour unable to locate Stephanie so he headed to the Production meeting in the hope of seeing her there, as Paul walked in Vince said, "ah just in time we are about to start, Paul please take a seat."
As Paul sat down he looked around and saw all the normal people but no Stephanie and as the meeting went on there was still no sign of her and no visible agitation on Vince's part to her missing it either which was unusual. Normally he would be frothing at the mouth if somebody as important as Stephanie missed the meeting.
Once Vince called the meeting to an end and everybody started leaving Paul decided to wait behind and talk to Vince because he was sure to have answers.
Once everyone left Paul shut the door to which Vince looked up, "what can I do for you Paul?"
Paul walked over to Vince determined to get answers, "where's Stephanie?"
Vince stopped what he was doing and stared at the younger man, "what?"
Paul tried again, "where is Stephanie?"
Confused as he thought she had told him Vince frowned, "Stephanie has taken some time off."
There was only one question Paul wanted answering, "why?"
Vince shrugged, "she just said she needed to get away, she said she was run down and needed a break. I assumed she'd talked to you about it and you'd know exactly where she was."
Paul shook his head and pulled the letter out of his pocket, "I found this this morning when I woke up, that is why I wanted to see her so bad."
Vince read the letter and said, "I didn't realise things were so bad between you, last night you both seemed so much in love and together."
Laughing wryly Paul felt the same way as Vince did, "we were, that's the problem. I thought everything was fine when we went to bed last night but I woke up to find this, I guess I'll have to keep looking for her."
Vince was quiet for a moment contemplating what he was about to say but ultimately deciding it needed to be said, "do you think you should give her some space? Maybe that is why she's upped and left she wants space from it all, space from you, from the guys, from the fans?"
Paul was angry at the insinuation, "Vince I love her, we're supposed to get married, which incidentally she's kept the ring, I'm not going to stop looking until I find her and I get answers."
Turning around Paul stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him.
