| �Oh, fuck you. All that�s important in your life is Shannon.� With that, I turned on my heel and left the room. I walked over to the bathroom and ran into someone. �Theresa, you okay?� Shannon asked me. I just looked at her, deciding if it was AJ�s fault or Shannon�s fault that drove us apart. �Yeah Shannon, I�m fine.� I walked into my room and changed. 10 minutes later I walked out and saw the gang waiting for me. �Look, the bitch finally decides to show,� AJ mumbled. �Excuse me Alexander, call me Queen Bitch, thank you.� �Actually, no, that�s my tittle,� Shannon said, trying to get me to laugh. I just looked at her and rolled my eyes. I grabbed Howie�s hand and we started following the guys. �Why are you being so bitchy?� Howie asked me. I stopped walking and quickly felt someone run into me. �Thank you Alex,� I mumbled. �It wasn�t my fault.� �Whatever. Stop starring at Squeaky�s ass and maybe you�ll learn how to walk.� I quickly turned around, trying hard not to laugh. I quickly stopped walking, checking something out. I stumbled down the step and fell on my butt. I looked up and saw Shannon trying very hard not to laugh. �Geez, you too Squeaky. We all know you love AJ�s ass, but come on.� I got up, threw one look at her and started laughing. �What�s so fuckin� funny?� Shannon asked. �Orlando concert, and all the times�.� �AJ shook his ass,� she finished my thought. We finally reached the car and went back to the bus. I climbed up behind AJ and put my hand on his shoulder and reached my other hand out. He took it and quickly twirled me around. He�s hand found my waist and we danced stiffly. I trued to smile, but couldn�t. I quickly looked out into the crowd and saw Shannon looking at us very funny. I missed a step and accidentally stepped on AJ�s foot. He flinched but continued singing. 20 minutes later, after �Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely� dance, the dancers we ready for the Boys to introduce us. I hear AJ call out one dancer and then called me. I stepped out and waved, not excepting to do the usual dance we did. We left through the trap door and I quickly went for the changing room. A few moments later I heard a knock at my door. �Come in,� I mumbled. I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes. �Theresa, what the fuck happened out there?� I heard Fatima asking. �Why not ask the jack ass?� �I will later. I told you to take care of this shit. You guys looked horrible out there. Now, take care of this, or leave.� I heard the door close and I opened my eyes. I let a tear fall. I got up and quickly started to change. �I think we need to talk,� a voice said from behind me. I finished putting my hair up and started cleaning my face. �So, talk Alexander.� I glanced at him in the mirror and saw him flinch. �Please don�t call me that.� I sighed and nodded my head. �Look Resa.� �Resa? Who said you could us my name?� I asked, a smile playing on my lips. �I did. Anyway, I�m sorry for the way I�ve been acting.� �It�s okay. But Alex, why did you?� �Cause I wanted time alone with Shannon. So, I pushed you away. I figured if I did, maybe she would too.� �I see. Well, there�s one thing you have to understand Mr. McLean�� �And that�s that Mrs. Dorough and I will always be together. She�s my best friend!� �That�s right Mrs. McLean. �Excuse me, Mrs. Dorough? And Mrs. McLean? Since when did we get married?� Howie asked, stepping into the room. �Who got married?� Kevin said, following Howie. �What are we going to tell the press?� Brian asked, walking into my room. Nick just looked shocked as he followed Brian. �You know Squeaky, we could never play telephone.� She just looked at me and nodded her head. �Why do you guys keep calling each other McLean and Dorough anyways?� Nick asked as he sat down on the couch. �It�s just something that we used to do as a joke and now it�s just stayed,� I answered. �So I see,� Howie said. �So, what are the plans for tonight?� Shannon asked, sitting on AJ�s lap. �I�m hyper, and I wanna go to a club. How much longer are we here anyways?� I asked. �I believe another day or two,� Kevin answered. �You know, I just want to go to bed,� Brian said. �Yeah, sounds like a plan,� Kevin said. I glanced at Nick, who just nodded his head in agreement. �Okay, okay, fine, you guys go to bed,� I said. �How about you AJ? You guys going to bed too?� �No, I�m far from tired. How about we go see a movie?� �Any ideas?� Howie asked. �Yeah, Stigmata,� Shannon said. �Yeah, I wanted to see that for a while now,� I said, agreeing with her. �Come on, let�s get going.� With that, I grabbed my purse and headed over to the door. I watched as everyone got up and followed me. �God, you guys look tried,� Shannon commented. �Yeah, yeah,� they mumbled. We all left and headed over to the limo. �Hey Howie,� someone called out from behind us. We all turned around and saw Cindy coming in our direction. I rolled my eyes and turned around to follow the other guys. Howie grabbed my waist. �Please don�t leave,� he whispered. I nodded my head and he pulled me closer as Cindy finally reached us. �Um, Theresa, I have to�� �Sorry Cindy, but whatever you say in front of me, you can say in front of my lady.� She just glared at me and nodded her head. �Well, tomorrow�s my birthday, and I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me and celebrate?� �What did you have in mind?� �Nothing much. Maybe the club?� �Okay, mind if I bring the other guys?� �Oh, well, um�.� �Great,� he said, cutting her off. �Okay thanks.� With that, she gave him a hug. He removed his arm from my waist and gave her a small hug back. As she let go, she turned to me and gave me a smug look. I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arm around his waist. He put his arms around my shoulder and we walked back to the limo. As we got in, all the guys looked at us. �Looks like we have a birthday party to go to tomorrow night,� I said. |
