Aimee POV

Waiting at our spot leaning against the hood of my car I felt sick, not from nerves but because of what I was about to do. He would be here soon and I was going to break his heart completely, I didn't want to do this, I had to, I should never have let things get this far.

"Don't get involved with the talent" that was the one condition that came with Uncle Vince giving me this job, it seemed a strange request since his only daughter had not only got involved with the talent but had married it, don't get me wrong I love my cousin and Paul was one of the sweetest guys I knew it just didn't seem fair.

I take a few steps away from my car as I take in the view around me, the breeze sweeps my hair over my face as I take a few deep breaths. I hear a car pull up, a door close and footsteps behind me telling me he is here, familiar arms wrap around me from behind and soft lips gently kiss my neck and I stiffen as my heart clenches in my chest.

"What's wrong babygirl?" he asks tightening his arms around me "I thought you wanted to see me?"

"I did" I say turning to face him and the sight of my tear brimmed eyes turns his expression from happy to worried in seconds "Joe I'm so sorry but I can't see you anymore"

"No" he shakes his head, letting go of me he rakes his hands through his hair "No this is not happening, what changed?" he asks

"He found out" I sigh "We both knew this would happen sooner or later, and if I don't do this he'll send me back to Connecticut and we'll never see each other again"

"So either way we lose" he says "well then we have a problem babygirl because I refuse to let you go, being without you is not an option"

"Joe I don't want this anymore than you do" I say cupping his cheek and he leans into my touch "But we have no choice, you have to let me go"

Joe pulls me to him burying his face in the crook of my neck and I feel him begin to sob gently, I say nothing just hold him and gently rub his back, I had hoped he would hold it together until we were apart, the last thing I wanted was to see or hear him cry especially when I am fighting my own tears.

Moving back from me he gently presses his lips against mine, both of us clinging to each other wanting to make this last for as long as possible, he breaks the kiss and gently runs his thumb along my cheek "Goodbye babygirl" he says giving me a sad smile

"Goodbye Joe" I sigh and with that he walks back to his car and drives away, it's only then that I allow myself to break, this was the hardest thing I had ever had to do, letting the man I loved with all my heart walk away and out of my life. He didn't know how I truly felt because I knew I'd have to do this one day and saying those words would only have made this harder.

Joe POV

Pulling away I take one last look at the love of my life in the rear view mirror before driving away. Driving wasn't easy since my vision was blurred but he tears that refused to subside as my heart continued to break.

I had lost the best thing to ever happen to me and whoever was responsible had better hope I never find out becuase when I do I'm going to make them feel something close to the pain I'm feeling right now.

I couldn't help but wonder what if, what if I had had the chance to talk to Vince, would things be different now? Would we still be together instead of apart? Who knows and I may never know now.

The thing that made this harder was knowing I would still have to see her whenever I went to the wardrobe department, how was I supposed to be around her knowing that I couldn't hold her, touch her, kiss her. It was going to be torture of the worst kind and I wasn't sure if my heart could take it.

When I get to the hotel I head straight for Dean's room I needed someone to talk to and I didn't want to be alone right now.

"Hey man......woah what's wrong? What's happened?" He asks taking in my tear stained face before stepping aside to let me in the room.

"Vince....he found out......I've lost her" I sob as I take a seat on the bed

"Man I'm sorry, I wish I could make this better for you I really do" he sighs "you two were good together and I know she made you happy"

"I love her, I don't know what to do" I sigh "I don't know how to be without her, I need her"

"I had a feeling you did" he says chuckling softly "how did he find out?"

"I went to see Stephanie today, told her I wanted to talk to Vince about Aimee and me, some one was listening to our conversation" I say "I don't know who but I swear when I find out....." I growl balling my fists as my tears turn to anger

"Woah woah woah calm down" he says siting next to me "what they've done is shit but you kicking there ass is only going to earn you a one way to ticket to jail or the unemployment line, it's not worth it"

"Then you tell me what to do becuase right now I don't know" I sigh "right know I'm completely fucking lost"
