Chapter Eight

Vanessa's Point of View

I woke up slowly, sun seeping warmly through my expensive-looking window curtains. I lied there for a minute, thinking about where I was and wondering if yesterday's events were just a wishful dream of mine.

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud ringing from the telephone. "Hello?" I yawned sleepily.

"What's up?" A familiar voice asked. My heart jumped. It was Justin.

Not wanting to let on how thrilled I was that he had called me, I sounded nonchalant as I answered, "Nothing much. I just got up."

"I figured that. You sound sexy-I mean sleepy!" I grinned. "Smooth move, Justin!" I heard him mutter.

"So... didn't you have a concert tonight?" I asked.

"Nope. I checked our schedule. It's actually tomorrow night."

"So what do you wanna do today?"

"Let's go screwing. I mean shopping!!!!" He said. I heard a loud slap, followed by a, "Damnit Justin shut up!" I laughed to myself.

"Justin?"

"Sorry. I, uh..."

"Slapped yourself?"

"Kinda. Anyway still up for shopping? I just got my pay check."

"Sure! I'll use my credit card I guess."

"No, I insist. I'll pay."

"If you're sure..." I said reluctantly.

"Positive." I heard.

"Justin?

"Yup."

"What happened between us yesterday? You know, the whole, um, kiss thing."

"I don't know but I- I kinda liked it... A lot." He replied, suddenly sounding a bit shy.

"Me too," I agreed.

"Oh no, not again! Justin exclaimed, exasperated.

"What's wrong?" I asked, worried.

"Nothing. I just have to take a cold- I mean hot- shower before we leave."

"Okay. Pick me up in an hour?" I asked.

"I'll be there."

"Ok, bye!" I hung up the phone, a little confused. Justin had something wrong with his voice I guess...

Rubbing sleep out of my eyes, I jumped into the shower, knowing that Justin was taking one also, and shamefully wishing that it were with me...

Josh's Point of View

I woke up in my car, in the middle of a deserted parking lot. The night before, I had gone to a bar after meeting Precious, and I had drunk eight shots of tequila. I normally never drank, but I needed something to stop thinking about the intense subject on my mind.

I needed to go somewhere to think now. Getting out of the car, I began walking, and soon found myself outside an old, empty warehouse. Entering, I sat against the wall and began to sob.

I leaned back and forth slowly, my muscular body shaking with wrenching sobs. Why? Why me? Why? Why? WHY!?

"WHY!!?????" WHY THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!?" I screamed out at no one in particular. My whole life was at stake-my career, my image, and the person and I had once loved more than life itself. And one thing was causing it all.

A baby.
