*** "Chris that was the sweetest letter I've ever read." Kaylee said folding the love letter Chris wrote to her back into the envelope. "I'm glad you like it Kaylee because I want to give you this." Chris pulled out a clear box that had a ring in it, "It's a promise ring, one day I'll turn that into an engagement ring." "What?" Kaylee said opening the box, "Chris we just met about 5 months ago." "I don't care." Chris said sincerely, "Kaylee, when I wake up in the morning the first thing I think about is you, do you understand that? I love you more that words can express." "Chris, I love you too." Kaylee smiled throwing her arms around Chirs's body. "So you'll take my ring?" Chris asked finally pulling away from Katie. "Of course I will Christopher." Kaylee said then planted a kiss on Chris's lips. *** "Tiffany can I talk to you?" JC said to Tiffany as she stretched out. "Yeah what's up?" Tiffany said getting up. "I need some advice, and I don't know who else to go to." JC said looking at her. "Sure," Tiffany said. "Look I saw Christine last night." JC said as the walked to the other side of the stage. "Really?!" Tiffany said widening her eyes. "Yeah, and all my old feelings came back, I mean even though she and I have had major drama together I still love her." JC explained. "Well what are you going to do about Ally?" Tiffany stopped the two by grabbing JC's arm and tugging on it to make him stop. "See that's the problem." JC said. "Jase, I'd love to help you but I'm going through a similar situation and I don't know how to get myself out of my situation." Tiffany said honestly. "Oh, with Lance and Justin?" JC asked. "Yeah, I mean I care about Lance and he's so perfect in everyway, but Justin is so amazingly hot, and that sensitive Justin is the most amazing person." Tiffany said watching Justin holding his stomach from laughing at a joke Lance told him. "Damn gurl, you sound just like me." JC said looking at her green eyes. "Yeah, well maybe us lost in love losers should stick together." Tiffany laughed finally taking her eyes off of Justin and Lance. "Yeah really." JC laughed. "Let's get started guys, this rehearsal is going to be short today, I have plans." Wade said into the mic. Everyone walked to their spots to start dancing. *** "Who's this?" Angela asked. "Tell her is Aaron." The deep voice on the phone said. "Tiff, it's Aaron." Angela sounded confused. Tiffany made a face and grabbed the phone from Angela, "Hello...." There was total silence on the other end then finally the breathing of the other person stopped and they spoke, "Tiffany?" "Yes, who is this?" Tiffany said playing with her belly button ring. "This is your worst nightmare." His voice suddenly got harsh and pericing. "Who is this." Tiffany's hand left her belly button and the butterflies in her stomach grew. "Arian." He said. Tiffany stopped and took in a deep gulp. Her hand started shaking wildly. "What do you want?" She asked. "you." He said. "Don't call again!" Tiffany demanded trying to sound like she wasn't scared of her former abuser. "I'll see you tonight Tiff." He said then hung up the phone. Tiffany hung up the phone and sat in down next her. Her eyes were wide and glossy-they filled up with tears and she looked up at Angela. Angela looked at her for a minute and realized what had just happened. She flung her arms around Tiffany and held her tightly as Tiffany's tears slithered down her face into Angela's shirt. "I need to go somewhere, I'll be back." Tiffany said finally pulling herself away form Angela and getting up. "Where?" Angela asked. "I need to talk to Justin." Tiffany said looking at the door. "Why?" Angela asked sounding a little confused. "uh..." she didn't want to tell Angela that he was the only one she had because Angela was trying so hard to be there for Tiffany, "I remembered I have to give him something." Without more conversation Tiffany walked out the door and shut it behind her. She walked to the end of the hall where Justin and JC were sharing a room. She knocked quietly hoping no one was asleep. After about 10 minutes Justin finally yelled that he would be right there. Tiffany tapped her foot and tried profusely to hold back the tears that continued to consume her eyes. Finally Justin opened the door to the puffy red-eyed girl. "Tiff, what's wrong?" Justin asked grabbing her hand and pulling her into his room slowly. "Arian called my cell phone." Tiffany said. "What? How did he get the number? Why? I don't understand." Justin said looking at Tiffany who's chin continued to tremble. "I dont know Justin, but he told me he'd see me tonight." Tiffany cried planting herself onto Justin's bed. "No he won't, we'll make sure your okay." Justin said. "Justin...you can't protect me from him." Tiffany said looking up at him. "Yes, I can Tiffany and I will." Justin said getting up from the bed and walking to the closet. *** "Let's pray." JC said looking at his friends. "What?" Terin said throwing her head back in confusion. "I feel the need to pray." JC said. Tiff shot a look at Justin and Justin shrugged honestly not sure why JC wanted to pray. Everyone joined hands and bowed their heads, "lord, I ask you to watch over us as we go out there and impress our fans once again. I love each and every one of these people and thank you for bring them to me. Protect us, and keep us safe- amen" "Amen." The rest of the group said squeezing each others hands. Everyone broke apart and spread out their separate ways. Tiffany began to walk back to her dressing room when she felt a strong grip wrap around her arm. Her heart stopped and then raced uncontrollably. She had a hard time breathing. Her head turned around exposing a tall dark figure behind her. "Baby, I missed you." Arian said to her. "Leave me alone now!" Tiffany said trying not to show her fear to Arian. He was like a wolf, he could sense fear from a mile away. "But I didn't get a kiss." Arian tilted his head then pulled Tiffany close to him, "Let's go." "Arian, don't make me scream." Tiffany said. "Scream and you die." Arian threatened. Tiffany's eyes became teary again. She looked around in hopes ANYONE would walk by. Just then she caught sight of Justin. "Arian, leave me alone." She said louder. "Bitch, don't get loud." Arain said, but Tiffany said it loud enough that Justin could hear her. He turned around and saw Arian holding Tiffany close to her. His eyes got big and he walked towards Arian with a harsh and stern look on his face. He came right behind Arian and tapped his shoulder. Arian turned to get Justin's fist right in the face, leading Arian to let go of Tiffany. Arian threw a punch back at him as Tiffany ran to get help. The two men continued to throw punches until Justin shoved Arian on the floor and shot his hand to Arian's throat. "You don't deserve to live." Justin said harshly to Arian. "Fuck you little boy, what do you love her?" Arian asked. "I do love her." Justin said shoving his fist into Arian's face again. "She's BITCH!"Arian yelled spitting the blood that was pouring from his mouth into Justin's face sending Justin's fist back into Arian's head. "You're a bitch!" Justin yelled. Tiffany ran in with Lonnie and a couple of police officers. And Lonnie pulled Justin up as the cops tried to grab Arian but Arian was too fast. He ran and grabbed Tiffany. He pulled the gun he had in his pants and put it to her head send Justin flying over to the two but he was stopped by Lonnie. "Get ANY closer and the little bitch dies!" Arian yelled spitting more blood from his mouth. "If you hurt her I swear it to God..." Justin said. "Oh shut the fuck up you dumb ass little boy, if you love her the way you say you do you'll shut the fuck up." Arian yelled. Tiffany's eyes grew, she never knew Justin loved her, she thought it was just a physical attraction. Her eyes narrowed and she looked at Justin's tear surfaced eyes. She flung her arms around slamming her elbow into Arian's face and grabbing the gun from him finally turning it on him, "You gonna shoot me Tiffany?" "Fuck you Arian!" She shouted. "Shoot me." Arian said. Tiffany gripped the already cocked hand gun, "Don't tempt me Arian!" "SHOOT ME BITCH!!" Arian yelled causing Tiffany to pulled the trigger sending a bullet right into Arian's leg, "FUCK!!!" The cops ran for Tiffany and pulled the gun from her hand and took hold of Arian who was crying and holding his leg tightly. Tiffany fell back and began to cry. Justin ran up behind her and kissed her head softly. "It's all over Tiffany." Justin cooed her softly. "I know." Tiffany said lifting her head from her hands, "Thank you." "Don't worry about it." Justin said running his fingers through her hair. "Justin, was Arian telling the truth?" Tiffany asked. "About?" Justin said. "Do you love me?" Tiffany asked. Justin looked at the floor then his eyes climbed back up to hers, "Yes." Tiffany put her hands around Justin's neck and pressed her lips against his. Then she finally pressed her tongue against his. The two kissed but got interrupted by the eight people that ran into the room. Tiffany flung around to see Lance standing there looking at Justin and Tiffany. His eyes were glossy and angry. "Lance...I..." Tiffany tried to explain, but Lance walked out. Tiffany turned back to Justin.
