�I sat down on the couch and grabbed the nearest pillow.  I sighed and thought back on my last relationship.  Oh, my man, he was truly wonderful!  And boy did I love him. He�s name was Jeff.  Tall guy, and damn, he was good looking.  So, why did we split up?  Funny question actually.  We were ready to get married, that�s how close we were.  And told each other everything, nothing was kept between us.  We had a perfect relationship.  Maybe too perfect.  Of course we had the usual problems.  The fights did happen, but not often and not bad.  Though, there was one subject he was totally touchy on. My best friend and my brother.  Okay, maybe I should explain who I am.  Mine name is Theresa, but I�m known as Resa.  Yeah, Resa McLean.  Funny, I know.  Ever heard of the Backstreet Boys?  Duh, of course you have.  Okay, than you should know AJ.  Yeah, yeah AJ, the freak, and my brother. We�re freaks together, or so everyone seems to tell us.  Okay, my best friend, is Howie.  I met him a few years ago, and we just clicked.  Jeff was always mad whenever I talked to Howie, why, I�m not sure.  Howie was just a friend.  Hell, he was dating a mutual friend.  Her name was Cindy.  So, why he got jealous all the time is just beyond me.  But he did.  And just a few nights ago he told me I had to choose between my best friend and my boyfriend.  Now, I�m sorry, but ain�t no guy worth your best friend.  Howie and I had been through so much.  He knew me better than my own mom knew me.  I had told Howie every little thing about my life, and something�s that Jeff just didn�t understand.  SO, when Jeff told me to choose, I straight up told Jeff, �bye�.  Man, he was furious.  He threatened to hurt me for this.  I didn�t believe him, he wouldn�t do that.  So, now, five days later, I�m sulking over him and our lost love.  He messed up and I�m not going to forgive him.  Though, he won�t beg for forgiveness either.  No, he�s gone and out of my life for good.  Who knows, maybe it was for the better that he left!� 
I laughed and turned off my computer.  �Damn, my head can come up with some weird shit,� I thought to myself.  I smiled to myself and turned the light off.
�RESA!� I heard a voice yell.  I frowned and looked at the time.  �Shit, he wasn�t supposed to be home until tomorrow.�  �RESA!  Get your ass in here now!�
�Fuck you AJ.  I�m coming,� I yelled back.  I waddled out of the computer room and out into the front living room.
�What the hell is that?� he asked as he pointed to my stomach.  I looked down at it and smiled.
�Would you believe me if I said it�s a baby?�
�No.�
�Would you believe me if I said I gained a lot of weight?�
�Yeah.�
�You�re such a trip bro.  How was the tour?�
�Good, what the hell is that?�
�Dude, AJ, I think she�s pregnant,� Howie said from behind AJ.
�Thank you Howie.  How are you doing?�
�I�m great!�
�Than what are you doing over here when you should be at Christina�s house?�
�Oh, well, good question.  We broke up.  She said she couldn�t trust me and all that so she called me up like right before a concert about a month ago and said bye.�
�Oh D, I�m so sorry to hear that.  I know Christina made you happy.�
�Oh well.  I�m slowly getting over it.�
�So, you�re pregnant?  Where�s Dan?  I need to kill that mother fucker.�
�AJ, chill.  He�s out right now.  In fact, he might be out for quite a while.�
�What do you mean by that?�
�Uh, well AJ, my dear brother, ya see, he found out that I was pregnant, actually, right now I�m going on four months, but before like my third month, he didn�t know I was.  So, I slowly started gaining weight and he noticed.  He asked me about it, and I told him and he got his happy little ass out of here.  It�s been a month since I lost saw him.�
�So, you�re alone?� AJ asked.  I just nodded my head.  �Okay, I can handle this.  Hmm, Howie come with me.  I know I have my gun somewhere in this house.�
�AJ, no, he�ll be sorry.  Just let it be.�
�No, that fucker fucked with the wrong family girl!  He doesn�t screw my sister over like that and think he�ll get away with it.  He left you alone when you needed him the most.  That�s highly fucked up!�
�I agree with AJ,� Howie chimed in.
�Yeah, I figured you would.  Listen, just let it go.  It�s not like I need him, cause I don�t.  You�ll be there, right?�
�You know I will shorty,� AJ said, giving me a hug. 
�Than that�s all that matters.�
�You know I�ll be there,� Howie said.  I turned to him and gave him a hug.
�I�m sure all the BSB family will be there to help me.�
�That they will,� Howie said.  I smiled and walked into the kitchen.
�Do you guys want anything to eat or drink?�
�No, I�m fine sis,� AJ said.  �Where�s Megan, usually she�s here?�
�She�s working late. She should be home around 12:00.�
�But I miss my baby,� AJ whined.
�Oh shut up already AJ,� I said, sitting down on the couch. 
�But I want her, here, now,� he said, sitting down on the chair. 
�AJ, I don�t want to hear this.  I�m your sister for crying out loud.  Don�t go tellin� me about you�re sex life!�
�Oh, sorry,� he said, laughing.  I threw a pillow at him and rolled my eyes. 
�Ya know, that�s why you have Howie bro.  To tell all you�re life too.�
�Yeah, like how I have an annoying sister?�
�Oh whatever!  I�m nothing compared to you, huh Howie?�
�Well, now I�m not going there.  This is between you two,� Howie said.
�Oh fuck you D,� AJ and I said at the same time.
�Hey, leave D alone,� Megan said, stepping into the house. 
�BABY!� AJ said as he jumped off the chair and ran to give Megan a huge hug.  �I missed you so much sweetie,� AJ said, giving her a deep kiss.
�Ugh, go get a room you two,� I said.  �Wanna watch TV?� I asked Howie, completely ignoring AJ and Megan.
�Anything is better than watching and hearing those two.�  I laughed and flicked on the TV.  I tuned it out as I thought back on my past.  I was with Dan for about two years.  It was hard watching him up and leave.  But I knew once he found out, he was going to.  That�s the kind of guy he was.  �Man, I�m always getting into the bad guys.  I need a guy who is sweet, caring, charming, a guy a lot like Howie,� I thought to myself.  I felt someone shove me and I and I looked up and saw AJ lookin� down at me.
