"There needs to be balance." Jonah pauses.

"Regardless, I'm still team Nate, sorry James." Jonah says. Team Nate? What the fuck does that mean? "Paul is second guessing mixing work with play. She's too much of a distraction even though she's also his job to protect."

I don't get a chance to ask about "teams" because all three of us hear Julia wail. Both Jonah and Nate head to the bedroom while I drop my head in my hands. 

Julia is shutting down.

*******

*Trisha*

"Why even have a phone if you're not going to answer it!!" I shove my phone back in my purse, now getting frustrated with Nate. I'm out here running all his shit errands and he's not giving me the time of day. That or, Julia is causing trouble or something stupid that is taking up Nate's time.

"So what are you going to do?" Evan asks me while leisurely sitting back on the couch while I'm pacing Nate's studio room. Iheart Radio agreed to push Nate's interview a few days, but I can't give them an answer until I know that is fine with Nate. I really don't think he is going to need two full weeks to detox.  Maybe tack on a few more days but after that he should be good to go.

"Nothing, I guess. I'm a sitting duck until he responds." I close my laptop in frustration.

"You really do everything for him, don't you?"

"He'd have me wiping his ass if he could." I joke and get a hearty laugh out of the bodyguard.

"Maybe we should go to the Avalon to see if everything is ok?"

I glance over at Evan then sit down on the couch next to him and drop my head back to lean against the couch.

"No. I hate it there."

"Why is that? That lady's apartment is really nice. It doesn't feel like part of the facility at all."

"It's still a hospital. And God, it's still Julia. I can only handle so much of her." I admit.

I know it sounds bad but it's true. I can handle Moretti in small increments but that's it. When we both lived in Nate's apartment together, we were at each other constantly. We are just two very different people with very different lifestyles and goals. The only thing we have in common is our love for Nate. If she even has that still now that she's with Paul. God, we've even slept with the same men. 

I close my eyes and try not to think about that fun fact.

"You REALLY don't like her, do you?" Evan asks seriously.

"It's not that I don't like her. She's just... a lot. She's not self-sufficient in any way shape or form. She's not a go-getter, sets no goals for herself, just lives moment to moment."

"Kinda sounds like you just described Nate." He laughs. 

Did I? Is Julia more compatible with Nate than I originally thought? Because after Evan pointed that out, it's true. God, she is JUST like Nate. Though, I consider Nate a go-getter when it comes to his career. You get that man up on stage and he is the happiest man in the world. He loves the interviews, the studio sessions, traveling on tour, the fans, the Meet & Greets, the spotlight. All of it.
