| Cassie woke Missy up early the next (sunday) morning. "Missy! Miss wake up! Aubree's not here. She never came back." Missy turned to face Cassie not believing what she's hearing. She threw off her blankets, jumped out of bed, and knocked on the boy's door. Terrance answered the door. Cassie laughed at his major case of bed head as Missy was not pleased. "Is Ryan here?" "Yea." Terrance left the door open for the girls to enter behind him. "Ry. Cass and Miss are here." Terrance plopped back down on his bed face first. Ryan turned onto his back and starred up at the girls. "Where's Bree," Missy asked as she crossed her arms. "I don't know," Ryan responded as he yawned. "She talked to you last night, right?" "Yea, so?" Missy slapped him awake. "What happened?!" "Its none of your business!" She raised her hand again and he gave in. "Alright. Geez. We broke up. I told her that I wanted her to be with AJ." Dave and Terrance sat straight up in their beds, and Missy and Cassie joined into the astonishing news. "WHAT?!" "She's not happy with me. Its not that hard to believe," Ryan said as he headed for the bathroom. Cassie bumped Missy to say something before he closed the door. "So....you're going to be okay with seeing them together next week for the video?" He stopped in the doorway. "Its going to be hard but I'll do it. I'm only going to be here for the filming of the video and then I'm going back to Cali." "You're not going on tour with us," Cassie asked with tears in her eyes. "Nope," he said as he shut the door. ~*~*~*~ Aubree awoke and looked around the room, not knowing where she was. She wasn't in her hotel bed, and wasn't in her hotel room. She started down the hallway, following her feet wherever they led. She glanced into AJ's room but only saw his dogs on his bed asleep. Panda lifted her head and as she saw Aubree head down the stairs, she followed her. A noise from the kitchen prompted Aubree's ear as she stepped foot on the landing. A bark from Panda made AJ chuckle as he saw Aubree peek past the fridge. Her hair was quite a sight. "Eggs?" "Excuse me?" She headed for the table but stopped mid-way just to answer him. "You want some eggs? Its the only breakfast thing I know how to cook. Well, that and Pop-Tarts." She smiled as she sat down slowly. "No thanks. I don't have an appetite right now." Aubree starred at the fruit bowl in the center of the table. She reached for the apple and gripped it in her hands. AJ sat down across from her. "I'm sorry about last night," she said not taking her eyes off her apple. "I don't know what was going through my mind." "Ryan." "What?!" "Ryan was going through your head." He stole her attention away with that one. She put the apple back in the bowl and placed her hands in her lap, looking back up into his eyes. "I don't want him to change us." "He's not going to," AJ answered without hesitation. "Good, because if we're going to change, I want us to do it, not him." "I agree." "Are we going to change?" "When you're ready we will." "We will," Aubree asked shocked at the thought that he knows they'll change. "We will." Aubree sighed, not knowing what to think. "I better call my girls and tell them where I am." "Yea," AJ agreed as he stood up from the table. "You sure you don't want any eggs?" He took the pan and scraped the burnt eggs into the trash. She giggled. "Alex, get your keys. I'll take you to my kitchen...McDonald's." AJ laughed along with her as they headed out the door. Chapter 10 Featured Stories Main Page |
