Chapter 21

For the first two weeks, things went well. The filming was going along great. Gerry’s costar was a new actress, and according to him, one of the nicest people he knew in Hollywood. “It sounds like you are spending a lot of time together,” Ann said one night.

“No more than I would normally.”

Just before responding, Ann got Lynn and Brendan’s attention and put the phone on the speeker setting. “Oh so you are sleeping with her now?” The problem was that she was joking and Gerry didn’t know it.

“What? No I'm not sleeping with her. Where would you get that crazy idea?”

“So now I am crazy?” Ann asked as she began to cry.

“No I didn’t mean that.”

“Well you used to be a ladies man and now you are spending all you time out there with some anorexic perfectly toned blond.” Her tears were getting bigger. Mostly because Gerry was actually beliving her and she was laughing so hard. “Now you are going to leave me for some blond beach bimbo.” It was all Lynn and Brendan could do not the burst out laughing.

“I am not going to leave you. I love you.” For the next few seconds, all he could hear was crying. Finally the crying stopped and there was silence. “Ann, are you there? Come on sweetie answer back. Ann what is going on? Where did you go?”

Ann could hold it in no longer and burst out laughing. As soon as she let go, so did Lynn and Brendan. It was all they could do not to pee their pants, especially when Gerry began to curse up a storm and being messed with. “How long have they been on the listening?” he asked.

“Long enough,” Lynn said in between fits of laughter.

“All kidding aside, I am glad that this girl is a nice one.

“I told you she was the nicest and I mean it.”

Brendan heard Gerry’s comment and told him to wait a while. “I guarantee you that with in the next few months, she will either be having Tom Cruise’s baby or she will have broken up Brad and Angelina. She will turn. I know; I’ve seen it happen.”

* * * * * * * * * *

Despite the fact that she really missed him, Ann thought her time away from Gerry was going to be better for them. As she told him one night on the phone, “We have been together non stop for our entire relationship, granted that consists of going on four months, but still.”

“What is wrong with that?”

“Nothing is wrong, I just feel like I am becoming dependent on you and your feelings for me, and that scares me.”

“Love is scary. Do you think that I’m not scared? You are the first girlfriend that I have had longer than a month since I was 17. You are the first person that I have truly loved, other than my mother. That scares the shit out of me.”

“Do you mind if we try something?”

“I guess not, but it depends on what it is.”

“Do you mind if we didn’t talk to each other for a few days?”

“But I will miss you.”

“Well I will miss you too. But you know what they always say?”

“What?” he said with a sarcasm laden tone.

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

“I knew you were going to say that.”

“It is kinda cheesy isn’t it?”

“Yes, but that is why I love you.”

“That isn’t the only reason is it?” she asked trying to sound serious but not getting it across very well.

“Yes it is actually,” Gerry stated in a joking manner.

“That hurt Mr. Butler. Now you have mad me cry.” Ann began to fake cry.

“Well on that note, I better be going. I have an early shoot and I need to get my beauty rest.”

“I don’t think any amount of beauty rest can help that mug of yours,” Ann said as she began to laugh.

“That is it! When I get home to you, you will be punished most severely. And I am serious!”

“I love you.”

“Ditto.”

“No quoting movie lines this late at night.”

“I love you too. Night, night.”

“I will talk to you in a few days.” As Ann hung up the phone, she was glad part of her mini tour was in New York. It was nice to be able to sleep in her bed. She did miss Gerry but there were reminders of him everywhere. The rug was still in front of the fireplace and she was surprised when she went to change the sheets on her bed and found that he had sprayed his cologne on them. All she was missing was his warm body next to hers. He may snore and he may have the world’s worst morning breathe, but she didn’t care.

Just before she decided to head to bed, she stood by the window, just looking out at the world. As she turned her eyes to the sky, she noticed there was a full moon. Then she saw it. What she saw was a red ring around the moon, “blood on the moon.” She knew it was a sign of bad things to come. As she fell asleep, she tried to forget about the moon, but there was something that was concerning her. All she wanted to do was to have Gerry there to tell her it was going to be alright.

* * * * * * * * * *

Ann woke up the next morning to the sound of Lynn and Brendan fighting over who got the last slice of bacon. Before they knew what hit them, Ann swooped in and snatched it up. “I was going to eat that,” Brendan protested.

“You were not,” Lynn yelled back. “You already had four pieces. That one was mine.” She began to chase him around the kitchen when he mad a face at her.

“Children, children, stop fighting,” Ann said while trying not to laugh too hard. When it looked like they weren’t paying attention after Lynn slapped Brendan so hard people in Jersey could have heard it, Ann switched into her fake mom mode. “Alright I have had enough!” she yelled. Both of them stopped in their tracks. “Both of you go to you just stop it. Don’t make stop this car. I will and we will turn around and we will not go to Disney World!” When Ann got the last word out, there was silence for a few seconds and then the room erupted in laughter.

“But mom,” Brendan whined, “she started it.”

“Shut it! I really hope I don’t have kids like you two.”

“That’s not very nice,” Lynn said.

“I know. So, are you two coming to my show?” Ann asked.

“I guess so,” Brendan said with a pout.

“Of course we are,” Lynn chimed in. “I mean I have only seen you perform hundreds of times, and you have never once seen me in a show.”

“Well I can't help it if they coincided with my tours and random shows.”

“Okay, I was just joking.”

“Well I have to hop in the shower and get ready to go do some radio shows.”

“If you are going to be on radio,” Brendan asked, “then why do you have to look good?”

“Because they take pictures and I don’t wana look a hot mess with cameras near by.”

“Good point.”

As the afternoon wore on, Ann began to get tired of the same questions. Everyone seemed to be asking how she was going to follow up the success of her debut album. She kept answering that she was working on the new album, and that it was coming along nicely. That was only the half truth. She was working on a new album, but progress was slow. She just hadn’t written anything of note lately. He plan for the next few weeks was to do nothing but write. Her thoughts were interrupted when her tour manager came back and told her that she had only a few minuets before she went on.

* * * * * * * * * *

When the show was over, Lynn and Brendan decided to head home. They had apparently worn themselves out during the day while Ann was out. “Hey thanks for waiting until I left for the day.”

“Oh no problem,” Lynn said with a smile. “It gave us the opportunity to have sex in every room.”

“You didn’t, did you?”

“Do you really think I am that mean?”

“Well…” Ann was promptly hit on the arm. “Sorry and thanks again for coming. It is nice to have family in the crowd. At least I know you like my songs.”

As soon as she was out of arms reach, Lynn said, “Who said we liked your stuff.”

Ann began to chase her down the hall way that lead to the back door. When she caught up with Lynn, she was already out the door. “I will get you when I get home.”

“See ya.”

As Ann began to walk inside, a group of fans rounded the corner. Ann decided to be nice and wait for them. They were obviously glad she did that. As she began to sign their CD booklets and t-shirts and get pictures with them, she noticed there was a man in the back of the group. He was mostly in the dark so she couldn’t see him very well. He did not come out of the light when he handed her his booklet, but when her hand touched his, she had the familiar feeling she always got when something was wrong. She had the same feeling the night before when she looked at the moon.

When all the other fans were going to leave, he stayed in the back of the group. Just as Ann was about to open the door, after the fans had left, the man turned around and said her name. “Ann.” As soon as she heard his voice, she knew who it was. When he came into the light, she froze. Adam stood there, staring her in the face. “What are you doing here?”

“I wanted to talk to you.”

“Why did you ever think that I would talk to you again?” Ann said as she began to walk back inside.

Before she could get the door to shut, Adam grabbed her arm. “Please just let me explain.”

“What is there to explain? You cheated on me, got some girl pregnant and then found out that she had faked it. I think you pretty much got what you deserved.”

“Please, Ann just hear me out.”

When she turned to look at him, he looked so pitiful that it was hard to deny him. “Okay, you can take me to dinner. Meet me here at 8:00. This is your on and only chance to say anything about what you did. And I swear to God, if you are even a minuet late I will leave and you will never see me again.”

“I will be here at 7:45 then.”

“I guess I will see you then.” As Adam went in to get a hug, Ann turned and went back into the building , leaving him like he did her. ‘Ann, why are you doing this?’ she asked herself. ‘You know this will end badly.’
