�I�m so sorry baby, I know how much you loved her.�
�Love her.  Love her damn it.�  I bite my lip and nodded my head.  �I�m sorry, I know you�re trying to help��
�It�s hard, I know honey.�  He walked into my arms and we held each other.

�Do you like him?�
�He�s a friend.�
�That�s not the fuckin� point.�
�What are you trying to get at than?�
�Are you in love with him?�  She bite her lip and looked at him.  �You damn bitch, you are.�
�God, no, why can�t you see that?�
�Because I know you Shannon.�
�And just like I know you Brian.  Do you love Megan?�
�She�s a friend.�
�Just like AJ is with me.�
�Why is that whenever we fight, he�s always here?�
�Because he cares, unlike some people I care not to mention.�
�I care, but I know when to mind my own fuckin� business.�
�You know, those are my friends, when they hurt, I hurt.  And I will help them.�
�They don�t ask for your help.  You just help on your own.�
�Now I know why no one asks you, you can�t help people Brian, not at all.�
�I do help.�
�No, you make things worse, cause no matter the damn problem, you side with your home boys, no matter if the girl truly hurts them or if it was the other way around.  You accuse me of never hearing both sides, but I think you�re wrong.�
�That�s not true.�
�Name me one time when you have not pointed a finger at one of my girl friends?�
�I can�t think��
�Exactly.  Just go Brian.  Get the hell out of here.  I�m so damn pissed at you.�
�Have you slept with him yet?�  Shannon stepped back and a look of pure hatred and pure annoyance crossed her eyes.
�Brian Thomas Littrell, how dare you stand there and ask me if I ever slept with him.�
�Don�t play high and mighty with me Shannon.�
�Just go Brian, and don�t bother coming back.  I want nothing to do with you anymore.�
�You�re breaking us up?�
�You�re damn right I am.  I will not have this.  I refuse to.  Just, ugh, just GET OUT!� 
�We�re through!�  Brian turned on his heel and walked out the door, slamming it behind him.  Shannon laid down on her bed, her tears coming hot and fast.  She picked up the phone next to the bed and dialed the room number.

�Hello?�
�Resa?�
�Shannon, what happened?�  She sniffled.
�Brian and I broke up.�
�Oh girl, I�m so damn sorry.�
�It was so bad.  He accused me of sleeping with AJ.�
�That�s so wrong.�
�Can you come over, please?�  I glanced at Howie and sighed.
�Girl, D�s grandmama just passed away, I have to be here for him.�
�Oh, of course, he�s your husband.�
�I�m sorry girl.  I know someone else though, and he�ll be over shortly.�
�Thanks Resa.�
�I�m sorry I can�t do more Shannon.�
�You�ve done plenty.�
�And you�ll be fine.  Don�t cry to much.�
�I won�t.�  She hung up the phone and I quickly hung my up, picking it right back up again. 
�Hello?�
�AJ, go see Shannon, her and Brian just broke up.�
�Thanks girl, I�ll go see her.  You okay?�
�D�s grandmother passed away.�
�Oh, damn, tell him I�m sorry and I�ll call you later.�
�Of course.  Bye.�  I hung up my phone and talked to Howie.

Jennifer just slumped back in her chair and looked at Terri. 
�What was that all about?�
�I have no clue Jennifer.�
�I�m gonna go find Brian.�
�I�ll go with you.�  Jennifer watched Kevin walk out of the room, followed by Brian.
�Should we go talk to Shannon?�  Terri just sighed and shook her head.
�No, AJ is probably on his way over there.�
�Right.  That was bad.  They broke up.�
�And I think for good.  That�s not good Jennifer.  I know Shannon and she said something to me, but you have got to promise that you can not tell anyone else.�
�Of course.�
�She�s in love with AJ.�  Jennifer�s eyes opened wide and shook her head.  Terri just sadly nodded her head.  �Something inside tells me something is not right.�
�I agree totally with you.�  Jennifer sighed and returned her attention back to the TV.

�I just don�t get it Alex.  It wasn�t my fault and everything was so right between us and than it all��  She dried her cheeks but kept her head on AJ�s chest.  He stroked her back, just trying to soothe her.
�He doesn�t know anything girl.�
�But I loved him.�  She sniffled and just shook her head.  �And we ended it.  Right now.  I told him to get out, wanted nothing more to do with him.�
