| �That�s good. So, do you �� �No Howie, I don�t have anyone. I just don�t have the time for anyone.� �Oh� �And you? Going out with Cindy yet?� �Oh, so you think I would go out with her? Never mind. No, I�m not going with her and never will. We may have had a fight, but you still do have my heart.� �Don�t do this D. We know you don�t trust me.� �Theresa�� �No, forget it. Look, I have a doctor�s appointment to go to, I�ll talk to you later. Bye.� I quickly hung up the phone. I sighed, already wishing I hadn�t told Kim that I would go with her. �Oh, well, I have to go,� I thought. �Why the fuck is she coming to this concert?� Shannon asked, getting ready for their concert in Lexington. �Damn it, shut up. Resa has every right to be here,� AJ said. He glanced over at Shannon. �Why do you always complain about her? Our relationship is over, your friendship with her is over, so why care if she�s here?� �I just don�t want her to be here. And God, AJ, you don�t have to be a dick about it.� AJ glanced at Shannon and walked over to the door. �Fuck you Shannon Crystal.� AJ opened the door and slammed it behind him. Shannon sat down, stunned beyond belief. �He was so mad. He was right though. I should have no reason to care. She�s not my friend anymore and AJ can go fuck himself for all I care,� Shannon thought. She glanced at the time and stood up. She walked out with everyone else and took her place. She walked up through the trap door and out on stage. She saw the Boys coming to the stage on the air boards. She looked out into the crowd and I locked eyes with her. She quickly looked back at the Boys and I quickly looked down. An hour into the concert, I stood there, shocked. Shannon was truly keeping her distance and AJ was pissed off. Every once in a while, they would miss a few dance moves. I quickly glanced over at Kim and she was totally enjoying the show. I heard the opening words to my favorite song and my head snapped up and locked eyes with Howie. Through out all of �Spanish Eyes�, he stayed there, just watching me. I sighed and wondered why he did what he did. I stayed for about 15 minutes after the concert was over, waiting for security. A few girls were talking about us, but one actually came up and started talking to me. �Don�t you miss him?� the girl asked. I looked up at her and smiled. �What�s your name?� �Jessica.� �Well, Jessica, yes, I miss him a lot. But there�s nothing I can do to change the situation.� She just nodded her head. �What happened to you?� �Something, very, very stupid.� I froze, knowing that voice. �Yeah, something came up and they ended it,� a second voice said. I quickly stood up and stared at Shannon. You could tell she�s been crying and you could see how tiring the job was. �My word. Howie and Shannon, may I have your autograph?� Jessica asked. Shannon and Howie both signed the piece of paper. Jessica walked back to her mom with a big smile on her face. I turned back around and looked at Squeaky. �I think we have to talk,� I said. She quickly nodded her head. �Um, Kim, this is Howie and Shannon. D will you take her to go met the guys.� I looked at him and he nodded his head. I looked at him and he smiled. �We�ll talk later.� �Yeah.� I quickly leaned over and placed a quick kiss on his lips. He smiled wide and took Kim to meet the guys. �Okay Shannon Crystal, what the fuck was that?� �I can�t dance with him anymore. Sure, I still love to feel his arms around me, but, it�s just like I can�t stand to be around him anymore.� I looked at her and nodded my head. �Have a seat and don�t say a fuckin� word. I�m going to explain something. Well, explain that whole night, okay?� Shannon just nodded her head. �Good. Okay, you and D both jumped to conclusions. Me and AJ were talking, just talking. See, I wanted to leave, in fact, I already had my ticket on hold. But AJ convinced me not to leave. Everything you saw, was wrong. He gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. Nothing, and I swear, nothing happened. Me and AJ were good friends.� I took a deep breath and looked at her. �For sometime Squeaky, you always thought I was after him. When you first met the guys, you thought me and him were going out. Now, truly, I don�t know why you didn�t trust me, but we were just good friends. It didn�t even dawn on me how I was acting till Howie said something about it. I love AJ, he�s a good friend. BUT, there a few reasons why I wouldn�t do anything with him. 1.) He�s AJ. Wild, crazy, wacky, probably a good lover, but my good, good friend. 2.) You liked, no, loved him. Later on, when you were going out with him. I could never, EVER, betray your trust like that and 3.) I was oh so very happy with Howie. I love him. I was carrying his child. I truly don�t know why you or D didn�t trust us, but for whatever reason it was, I hope you�re over it and that we can become friends again.� I took another breath and looked at Shannon. �Nope. We can�t be friends,� I looked at her, �cause we�re best friends Resa.� She stood up and gave me a hug. �I�m sorry Resa for not trusting you.� �It�s okay Squeaky. I�m sorry that I didn�t talk to you about what I had on my mind.� �It�s cool. But, Resa, why were you planning on leaving?� �Well, that feeling came back again and I figured it was a sign saying for me to go. Plus, the baby couldn�t stand everything, so I just figured it would have been best if I left.� She looked at me and nodded. �Makes sense. You know, it feels good to have you back Resa.� �Thanks, look, McLean, it�s Mr. McLean.� �Yeah, yeah, and there�s D.� I walked up to AJ and smiled at him. �I missed ya Bone,� I whispered. He quickly gave me a hug. �I missed you too Esa.� He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and looked over at Shannon. �Go talk to Alexy, it�s okay.� He smiled at me and walked over to Shannon. She quickly pulled him towards her and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. After a few moments, they pulled away. �I�m sorry AJ, for everything. For not trusting you, and for yelling at you, and worst of all, for hitting you.� �Baby, it�s okay. It was something stupid, let�s just move on, okay?� �It feels good to hear you call me baby again. I love you Alex.� |
