Beau

My eyes drifted back and forth between my phone and the liquor on the shelf in the corner, tempted to reach for one or the other — anything that would stop the endless loop of thoughts that plagued me. If I started drinking, I could numb myself for a few hours, but I always felt worse the next day. If I called Dave, I could be back in Hollywood by tomorrow night.

Here, there was nothing but the four walls that felt like they were closing in on me. The only thing that brought me any joy lately was Cara, but I’d scared her off, so my hotel room felt cold and empty, just like my life. I wished I’d asked for her phone number so I could call her, try to make amends. I’d just have to wait till the morning when she came back to clean my room.

Why were evenings always so long? Late at night, it was easy to find a party or a club where I could distract myself, and after a long night partying, I’d sleep half the day away. But that time when normal people were home, enjoying their family, always dragged for me when I wasn’t busy working.

I reached for my phone, but instead of calling Dave, I opened the TMZ app to see what they were saying about me. There was a story about a rap star making a scene at a bar and another about an actor having a fight with someone, but other than a small mention in a story about Tamara breaking up with AJ that hinted she was interested in me, my name was nowhere to be found. Was it possible that the people of Sweet Bay would keep my secret? It encouraged me enough to keep me from doing anything stupid.

I managed to make it through the evening without giving into the mind-numbing temptation of the minibar, if only to avoid the look of disapproval I knew would flash across Cara’s face if she saw a bunch of empty bottles. I went to bed hours before I usually did and woke up early, then showered, dressed, and ate breakfast so I’d be ready for the day as soon as Cara arrived.

I planned to convince her to give me another chance, if only as friends. I needed company, and I wanted it to be her, even if she wasn’t interested in anything more than that. Plus, she was a challenge I couldn’t resist. No one had ever turned me down before. I had to win her over. My ego couldn’t stand the rejection.

When the knock sounded on the door, I jumped up to open it, an irrepressible smile splitting my face. It fell when I pulled the door open and saw a stranger standing there behind Cara’s cleaning cart. The young girl’s eyes bulged when she recognized me.

“You’re Beau Bennett! I heard a rumor that you were in town, but I can’t believe it’s true! What are you doing here? I’m Emma; I’m a really big fan.
