�Hey Nick, check out those girls,� Brian said.  He quickly got up and left the table, followed by Nick.  I quickly glanced at D, who was talking with Claudia.
�So, are you gonna tell me why you don�t like the clubs?� Kevin asked me.

AJ started laughing at the song that started playing.  He pulled Shannon close and whispered in her ear, �play that funky music white boy.�  She started laughing as she wrapped her arms around his neck.  She lightly kissed him and as she pulled back, she saw the desire written in his eyes.
�Later,� she whispered, pressing her body close to his.

I watched AJ and Shannon for a few moments before turning my attention to Kevin�s question.
�You know, no one knows what happened. Not even my mom nor my best friend.  Why should I tell you?�
�Cause I want a relationship with you and to start that off right, I need to know.�
�You don�t need to know Kevin, you wish to know.  But, I can�t tell you what happened or even who it was with.�
�It�s not good to keep stuff, you know that?�  With that, Kevin left the table.  I looked down at my hands and felt a tear fall.  I wiped it away and looked out at the dancing people.  I saw Brian and Nick with those chicks they saw.  I saw AJ and Shannon getting a little freaky.  I saw Kevin standing at the bar, talking to some girl.  And then I saw Claudia dancing with D.  I rolled my eyes and looked at the entrance, hearing a voice I knew all to well.  �What the hell,� I thought.  �It can�t be, they�.had made plans�.no, they�� I laughed to myself.  I watched the group of five boys.  And as they hit the bar, I noticed the Mexican.  �Albert?� I whispered.  As if he heard it, he turned around, surveying the crowd.  My eyes opened as his eyes landed on me.  Within a few moments, his eyes changed, letting me know that he knew who I was.  He quickly turned around and I looked down, every thought entering my mind.  �Why was here?  Why did he stare at me, even knowing who I was?  And why is he standing at my table?� I asked myself, looking at him.
�Hello Theresa.�
�H..hi Albert.�
�The crowd is strong, the music upbeat, care to dance?� he asked, totally out of the blue.  Hatred filled my eyes as I looked at him.
�No thank you.  The last time that happened, you raped me!� I shouted.

AJ and Shannon decided they needed a drink and turned to the table.  They were laughing at something when Shannon stopped dead in her tracks.  She couldn�t believe who was standing in front of her.  It was one her favorite actors, Albert Jose.  And not only did he have talent, but he was surely fine.  She looked at him and she was about to move when she heard the shout that came from my mouth.  She blinked once and looked at him then back to me.
�R�Resa?� she asked.  My eyes flicked over to her once.  She looked at me.
�Squeaky, met your favorite actor, the jackass of all jackasses, wait, I mean Albert,� I said.  I stood up ant walked out the door.

Shannon glanced at her watch, 4:45.  �Where the fuck is Theresa at?� she thought.  She felt AJ�s arms encircle her waist and he lightly kissed her shoulder.
�Come back to bed baby,� he whispered against her neck.
�I�m worried AJ.  She�s never out this late.�
�Baby, Theresa is a big girl.  I�m sure she can take care of herself.�
�She had hate in her eyes when she left, I�m going to worry.�  She laid down, her back against AJ�s chest.  She stared at the wall and let a tear fall from her eyes.  �Please be okay,� she thought.

I stared at the blank TV screen, thinking and drinking. I glanced at the time; it read 5:15 am.  �Great, another sleepless night,� I told myself.  I sighed and went into the bedroom and froze as I saw someone asleep there.  I gazed at his chest, a small smile playing on my lips.  I moved to his side of the bed and lightly leaned down and kissed his chest.  He stirred a little, but didn�t wake up.  I started kissing his stomach when his hand flew to my hair.  I stopped and looked into his beautiful eyes.
�What a nice wake up call,� he said.
�No, go back to sleep.  It�s too early to get up.  It�s barely 5:30.�
�Only if you go to bed also,� he said, pulling me up and kissing me.  I pulled back and looked at him.
�Come, close your eyes Kevy,� I said, getting off of him and pulling him close to me.  He rested his head on my chest and within a few minutes, I heard his set breathing.  I closed my eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep.

�Wake up Bitch!� Shannon said, coming into my bedroom.  I opened my eyes and looked at the time.  �Shit, 8:30, three hours of sleep.�
�Go away Shannon,� Kevin mumbled, his head still resting on my chest.
�Oops, I didn�t know you were here Kevin.  Sorry.�  With that, she walked out the door.
�Mean�.can�p..le,� Kevin mumbled.  I laughed softly, hearing his mumble.
�Mean they might be, but none the less, I do have to get up.�
�Baby, this is an insane time to get up,� he said, giving me a kiss.
�Insane to you maybe.  You�re not going to get off of me, are you?� I asked, running my fingers threw his hair.
�No.  Baby, I have a question.  You should know that Shannon told us what happened after the club.  But, why didn�t you tell me?  Fuck, why didn�t you tell anyone?�
�I knew the law.  I had no proof, fuck, I was totally wasted, so, who was going to believe me.  Especially when it was him?�
�Okay, good enough reasons.�
�Go back to sleep baby, I�ll wake you when I have to.�  He just nodded his head and removed himself from my chest.  I quickly got out of bed and walked into Squeaky�s room.
�Geez, no knocking?�
�Please, I know damn well you didn�t knock this morning.  But, that�s not why I came here.  What happened?�
�What do you mean?�
�Please Shannon.  You don�t normally come into my room the way you did.�
�Well, I figured out how Claudia get her note.�
