| "Yeah I felt bad for you cause I figured Britney had dragged you around all night." "Oh, Angel." He walked over to her and put his arms around her. Atleast he tried to. She pushed him onto the bed in disgust. "Don't touch me, you disgust me." He got a hurt look in his eyes. "Sorry." He dropped his head down to look at his lap. "I'm sorry, you don't disgust me, but I don't want your hands on me. Not after you were with someone else." Her voice dropped at the end of her sentence and he looked up at her. He could see that she was holding back tears. "Angel, cry if you need to." She looked down at him. "You would love that, huh? So years from now you can talk about how you hurt me so much. Not happening, now will you please leave?" "I would never do that. I think this hurt me as much as it did you." He said ignoring her plea for him to leave. "Yeah I am sure it did. You got to sleep with a pop star. You know, get your dick wet?" She said spitefully. He had never heard her talk this way. She usually blushed when he made vauge references to sex. "Angel, I wouldn't say it that way." "Oh you would say play, huh? So you got to play with a pop star. Sorry to confuse you with new terms for it." "Will you please forgive me?" "Your forgiven, if that makes you feel better. You are just a guy what could you do? I mean who would have expected you to come home to your girlfriend when you were with *gasp* Britney Spears?" "Angel, I am serious, I want you to forgive me. I want to be able to wake up with you in my arms." "That sounded sincere. But I don't think it will happen. Why don't you try to get Britney back while you have a chance?" "Angel, that was mean." "Aaaw I'm sorry. No wait I'm not, you are a lying, cheating, no good boyfriend. I will be as mean as I want." She turned her head away so she wouldn't have to see that expresion on his face. "No correction, ex-boyfriend." "Ok, point taken." He stood up with tears in his eyes and walked to the door. He opened the door and turned around. "I love you." Then he was gone. She fell onto the bed crying. She felt bad for being mean. She was upset at what he had done. She was hit with a wave of emotion. Thirty minutes later she looked at the clock. It was seven thirty. How had so much happened in such little time? She rolled over onto her back and saw JC. He was staring at her. "How long have you been here?" "A couple of minutes." She wiped her eyes. She didn't want him to know she had been crying. "It's no use. I know you were crying. But we expected it." He handed her a tissue from a near by box. "We?" "Us guys." He explained. "You knew about this?" "We heard you fighting." "Great, now everybody knows. I'll put on a show later. Then you can all see why Justin was forced into another women's arms." She laughed half hearted. JC pulled her into his arms. "Hey, how about breakfast?" "Sure." "Let's go." He led her into his room to get the rest of the guys. She sighed with relief when she realized Justin was in the shower and would not be joining them. They were all sat at a table. She didn't pay attention to the conversation. She was too busy thinking about what Justin had done. She was pulled back to reality by Chris. "So what are you going to do?" He stared at her hopefully. "I am going home Saturday. I tried to get a flight for today but there were no seats available." "No, don't go home." Joey cried. "I am sure Justin wants to see me everyday. And frankly I don't care to see him." "Please don't leave us." Chris whined. She looked at all the guys pleading looks. "How about if I give it a week. Then I will decide." They all shook thier heads and smiled. She pulled out her cell phone and canceled her plane ticket. They all hugged her when she was done. She spotted Justin walking toward the table. She excused herself and went up to her room. All the guys watched as Justin sat down. "Hey." They all said. "Hi, how do I get some cereal around here?" He said trying to act cheerful. Joey called the waitress over and Justin ordered. While he waited for his food he noticed all eyes were on him. "I didn't get much sleep last night." He defended. He knew he looked horrible. "Why not?" Lance pressed. He knew but he wanted to hear him say it. "I cheated on Tiffany with Britney." He lowered his head. "I know." The others said simotaniously. "You did? Tiffany told you?" He had seen her leave when he had come in. He just hadn't figured she would tell. "No we heard you fighting." Chris answered. "Well don't worry about us fighting. She is leaving Saturday." "No we made her promise to stay for a week, then she can decide if she wants to leave." Joey said cheerfully. "Really? Thank you so much." He said to all of them. "What time is that radio show?" "Ten." JC answered. "Ok, that gives me uummm about an hour and a half to win her over. Come get me when you are ready." He ran out of the resturant, without touching his cereal, and to her room. She opened the door and got a surprised look on her face. She had expected someone else. She had thought she had made it perfectly clear she didn't want to see him. "Sit down please." He grabbed her hand to try to lead her to the bed. She took it from him and sat on the bed. He looked down at her. "You have every right to be mad." "Did you just figure that out?" He kneeled down to look into her eyes. "Angel, I was in the shower and I was thinking." "Really? Was it hard?" "No, Will you listen to me?" She shook her head and he continued. "I was thinking about my future. Angel I can't imagine you not being by my side. I want you there to share the good times and the bad. I need you there. I don't know what I would do without you there." He looked up into her eyes. He was almost in tears. She felt so bad for him. "Did you really cry when you umm....finished?" Why does it matter? You aren't getting back with him. "Yeah, angel I did. I knew I had just hurt you I felt so bad." He cried and her heart went out to him. "Ok, I forgive you, but we are starting completely over." What? Did I just say that? He hugged her and cried on her shoulder. She could feel his tears hitting her shoulder. She felt so bad that he was crying. She started crying with him. He took her in his arms and laid on the bed with her. They held eachother and cried. "I love you, angel." He didn't get a reply. He looked down to see if she was asleep. She was awake and looking up at him. |
