�Yes,� Aaron said. �That�s what I�m telling ya. She came by the house crying and shit. Then Nick came by and it was just awful.�
�I thought she was in New York?�
�I guess she just got back.�
�I can�t believe this.�
�Neither can I. I have no idea what�s going on in his head, but he�s just being a complete ass anymore.�
�Yeah.�
�It makes me wonder if this wasn�t the first time, ya know.� MyKenna didn�t say anything. �He kisses DJ�s best friend, who is you, and now he sleeps with some chick. I wonder what else he has done to hurt her that no one knows about.�
�I�m sure it was just a moment of weakness just like that kiss was.�
�Even I can stop myself from sleeping with someone that ain�t my girlfriend, Kenna. The whole kissing someone else thing is normal; if it ain�t your girlfriend or boyfriend�s best friend ya know.�
�Right.�
�You know I am.�
�So who was this girl?�
�I don�t know. DJ didn�t stick around to find out her name and Nick didn�t say.�
�It could be nothing.�
�Maybe it would be nothing if she didn�t hear them confess their love for each other.�
�What?�
�That�s what DJ said.�
�I can�t believe it.�
�In any other circumstances I wouldn�t either, but for some reason I believe it now ya know.�
�Yeah.�
�He did cheat on her so why not tell the girl he loves her in the process.�
�I guess so.�
�It ain�t fair to DJ. She�s done nothing, but love Nick and this is the way he treats her; he cheats on her after everyone tells her he wouldn�t do that to her. I wouldn�t be surprised if she hates us all.�
�I don�t think she will.�
�Well I do. We all assured her it wouldn�t happen.�
�It was just a mistake he made.�
�Are you taking his side?�
�I ain�t taking sides.�
�But he just hurt her in the worse way and you call it a mistake. The kiss you and Nick shared was a mistake, but what he just did to her was not a mistake.�
�Then what was it, Aaron?�
�Betrayal; he betrayed her and he had the nerve to tell her he wouldn�t hurt her when he just did.�
�It was a mistake that can be worked out between them.�
�DJ�s supposed to be your best friend and you�re taking my bastard of a brother�s side. Is this what you're going to say to her when she talks to you? That it was all a mistake and they can work it out?�
�If their love for each other is strong like they keep claiming it is then they can work it out no matter what.�
�Even if they can it probably won�t be for a very long time to come. She hates him.�
�Maybe it�s her fault.�
�How so?�
�She didn�t want him to go to New York with her.�
�That doesn�t give him the right to bang some strange chick when he gets horny. He didn�t go to L.A. with her or over to Europe and he didn�t seem to have a problem with her not being around. It did hurt him though that she didn�t want him to go with, but he didn�t cheat on her those few times. It might�ve been a mistake, but it was more betrayal than anything.�
�If ya want to believe that.�
�I can�t believe you.�
�Maybe this is her way of breaking up with him. She�ll make up some story so not to be with him.�
�I don�t think it was a story, MyKenna. It seemed pretty real and Nick didn�t deny anything.�
�Maybe he�s playing along.�
�Why would he do such a stupid thing? Why would they do such a stupid thing? It�s pointless. If she really wanted to break up with him all she had to do was tell him that she wanted some time to herself and shit.�
�You don�t know DJ like I do.�
�Well you don�t seem to know her any better than what ya did two years ago. The last time you talked to her was when we caught you and Nick kissing.�
�We explained that. It ain�t my fault she�s still holding a grudge towards me. It�s not like I planned on kissing him.�
�Didn�t you?�
�God, you�re such a bastard anymore.�
�Well I wasn�t the one kissing your sister while we were still together, was I?�
�Because I don�t have a sister.�
�That�s not the point.�
�Then what is the point, Aaron? I apologized a million times for that and you don�t care.�
�Well maybe if it wasn�t my brother everything would be cool between us. Not only did you ruin it between us, but there is so much hate between me and my brother that it ain�t funny.�
�Nick helped ruin it between us so don�t forget that and don�t go putting all the blame on me.�
�I wasn�t putting all the blame on you.�
�Why the hell did you call me? DJ can�t stand me so why would she even bother telling me what happened?�
�You�re nothing but a bitch.�
�Thank you. I got to go.� Aaron heard a click and turned his phone off. He shook his head, as his bedroom door flew open.
�Where the hell is she?� Nickolas demanded looking at his brother.
�Who? DJ?�
�Yes DJ.�
�How the hell should I know? The last time I saw her was when she stopped by after seeing you with that other girl.� Nickolas sighed walking in and closing the door. �Did I say you could come in?�
�I know we�re not really getting along right now, but I need your help.�
�For what?�
�To find DJ; what else would I need it for?� Aaron just looked at him. �Please, AC, I can�t do this by myself.�
�Well ya wouldn�t be in this mess if ya didn�t hurt her.�
�I know.�
�What were you thinking?�
�I don�t know.�
�Who was she?� Nickolas just looked at him. �What? Don�t ya know her name? Was she just a random girl you picked up to fuck?�
�Her name�s Tiffany.� Aaron looked at him. �I met her a couple months ago.�
�So you just thought it was time you two banged forgetting all about your girlfriend�your pregnant girlfriend, who is heartbroken right now?�
�It wasn�t like that.�
�Then how was it.�
�Why should I explain this to you? You�re not my girlfriend.�
�And neither is DJ anymore, not after tonight.�
�Are you going to help me find her or not?� Aaron didn�t say anything. �Fine. I�ll do this on my own.� He opened the door and went to walk out.
�She�s back at the house getting her stuff together.�
�Thank you.� Nickolas walked out and Aaron just stood there.
