�You�re such a fuckin� slut.  You couldn�t be happy being his friend.  I always knew you wanted him,� Shannon said.  �And you, you fucking asshole, we�re through,� Shannon said.  AJ grabbed her arm.
�Stop this shit, Shannon,� he yelled.  She tried hard to pull away but he wouldn�t let her go.
�Let me go you mother fucker.�  She realized that he wouldn�t let her go, so reached out and slapped him.  He let her go, shocked she did that.  She ran out of the room and into the bathroom.  AJ had no clue what happened, but he felt his heart break.  He leaned back against the wall.

�She�s right, you are a fucking slut,� Howie said, nodding his head in agreement with Shannon.  I stared at him, shocked.
�What�what do, I would never cheat on you.  How dare you even think I would.  You assume too much fuckin� shit Howard.  And if you can�t fuckin� trust me like I thought you did, than we are through,� I said.  I glared at him and he shrugged his shoulders.
�It�s better than being with a fuckin� slut.�  I glared at him and roughly shoved him aside.  I ran out in the hallway and cried.  I heard the door slam shut and quickly open again.  I turned around and looked at Nick.
�Theresa�.�
�Don�t fucking come near me,� I said.  �Just, please, leave me alone.�  I ran outside and into the limo. 

She glanced around and glared at me.  I glared back, and then moved into my spot.  I took a deep breath and the show started.  During the middle of the concert, I looked into the front row.  I saw Shannon and she just mouthed �fuck you�.  I shook my head and returned my attention back to dancing.  Not too much later, I felt my stomach turn and I ran off the stage.  I ran to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.  I heard the door open and I saw Shannon walk in.
�What the fuck do you want, Langley?� I asked, glaring at her in the mirror.
�Nothing.  Just making sure you�ll leaving,� she said. 
�Don�t worry.  I wouldn�t stay here.  Not with a bitch like you and a dickhead like Howie.�  I walked past her and through the door.  I walked to the dressing room and quickly changed.  I grabbed my stuff and than walked out to the limo.  I told him to drop me off ad the hotel and then to take me to the airport.  He agreed as I got in.  I shut my eyes and sighed.  �Why the fuck did you stay.  You knew, you fuckin� knew something was going to happen,� I thought to myself.

AJ, Howie, Brian and Shannon walked into the dressing room.  AJ went to quickly go change and Shannon plopped down on the couch.  �I fuckin� promised her I would trust her, yet she pulls this shit,� Shannon thought.
�Anyone seen Theresa?� Brian asked.  Everyone shook their heads no.  �You guys know we go to Italy, right?� he said.  He sat down and as he did, Kevin came in the room.
�Theresa left,� he said.  �She�s on the plane heading back to the States with Ramon.  And Fatima said that Shannon is to fill in for her.�  AJ walked out of the room, shocked. �Hell just froze over,� he thought.  He glanced at her and she glanced at him.  She shrugged her shoulders and got up and left the room.

I heard my cell phone ringing and looked to see who it was.  �What the hell do you want Brian?� I asked into the phone.
�Geez, sorry for caring.  Just wanted to make sure you were okay?�
�I am.  I�m on my way back to the States.  I�m going to go apply at the local newspaper, back in Kentucky.�
�I�ll tell my ��
�No, I�ll be fine.  Let everyone know I�m fine. And if you want to, you can let D know that the baby will be fine and I�m not excepting him to take care of it.�
�Okay.  Do you want them to know where you are?�
�Well, no.  I�ll keep in contact with you, Nick and Kev, but that�s it, please Bri Bear?�
�Okay, I promise.  I have to get going, the plane is about to land in Milan, Italy.  I�ll call you later.  Love ya.�
�Love ya too.�  I hung up my phone and looked out the window.  I wiped a tear away.

Brian hung up the phone and nearly jumped when someone touched his arm.  He looked up and saw Howie.
�Did you talk to her?� he asked.  Brian nodded to his seat beside him and Howie sat down.
�Yeah, I did D.  She wants you to know that she�s fine.  And she said she�s not excepting you to help with the baby, so you don�t have to.�  Howie put his head down and wiped a tear away.
�I fucked up Brian.  I forgot about the child.  Fuck, maybe it�s not even mine.�
�Damn it Howie.  When the fuck are you going to see, she didn�t cheat on you.  God, you can be so fuckin� stupid.  She loved, Hell loves, you, and you threw it all away.  Right now Howie, I think you need to think.  You made a grave mistake and I�m not surprised she did what she did.  And I hope you know that�s your kid and I�m sure she�ll never, EVER, let you go near I t.�  With that, Brian got out of his chair and sat down  next to Kevin.  Howie watched him and as he turned his head, he locked eyes with Shannon.  She just looked at him and then looked away.  �Could Brian be right?  No, I saw how close they were,� Howie thought.

The plane touched down and as I got off, I heard someone calling my name.  I looked around and saw my old friend, Rhoney.
�My God girl,� I said, giving her a hug.  �What are you doing here?�
�Actually, I was leaving.  I was here for the month, and I figured you were on tour.�
�What were you doing here?�  She looked down and wiped a tear away.  �What happened?�
�Sean and I broke up.  That�s why I�m leaving early,� she said, still looking down.
�I�m sorry.�  I gave her a hug and then I heard her flight being called.  �Look, I�ll hook you up with your man, okay?�  Rhoney looked at me and smiled.
�Mr. Littrell.  I like that idea.  I have to go but I�ll talk to you later.�
�Later.�  I watched her run off to the boarding gate and then get on the plane.  My phone started ringing and I saw the display.  It was Howie.  �Hello?� I asked in a quite voice.
�Theresea�� Howie started.
�Look, Howie, I�m sure Brian told you what I told him. Again, please don�t contact me.  Kev, Nick, and Brian will be informed about what�s going on.  Anyway, I have to get going.  Bye.�  I hung up my phone and sighed.
�Ready to go home?� Ramon asked from behind me.
�Yeah, let�s go.�  We grabbed our stuff and headed over to our car.

�What the fuck do you two think you�re doing?� Fatima asked, stalking into the dressing room.  Shannon stared Fatima down.
�What do you mean Fatima?� one of the dancers asked.  Fatima sighed and looked around the room.
�If you�re not Brian, Kevin, Nick, AJ, Howie or Shannon, get the fuck out of this room,� she said.  All the dancers left, except Cindy.
