Terri lay in bed, sleeping, still feeling sick. Chris silently entered the room after Julie forbid him to go before. He had on the same cologne Erik wore when he took me on dates. Lord knows why he did, but he did. He leaned down and brushed my hair back. He gave me a kiss on the lips. I smiled and shifted a bit. He then kissed me again, thinking it was Erik.
Chris was enjoying this until Robyn came int the door. She pulled Chris away from me and told him to get the hell out of the room. 8 days later, he did it again this time not getting caught until he stopped for air and went to get a drink. 10 min. later, ( Robyn never said what happened the 1st time so I didn't know ) we ( rather he ) were at it again, then 3 times later ( not se* kissing ) I woke up in a cold sweat , barely able to breath, covering my face with my hands. Chris asked what was wrong, thinking he was Erik, I told him I felt worse. He kissed me then by the 8 time he spoke ( lengthy conservation ), I realized who it was and screamed
" CHRIS HOW COULD YOU ?!?!?!?!?!." ( I tried to call for help, but he had disconnected the phone , he got on the top of the bed and pinned me down by the arms, when i screamed he hit me in the face. I couldn't kick him cause of my condition and started crying so he hit me again ).
He was going to rape me when I heard knocking at the door ( it was locked ) I made some noise ( my mouth was covered in ducktape ) and It was Julie, the A*Teens, Britney, Mana. JC, Lance, Joey, and Justin. They pounded on the door. Chris went through with what he had planned, turning on music loud so they couldn't hear what was going on. He left me on the bed broken ( spirit ) and put his clothes back on. He opened the window as the door was trying to be knocked down. Chris got the window stuck halfway up and couldn't get out through the fire escape ( he heard 2 more tires by the group to knock the door and knew they were close so he frantically tried to force the window up ). Finally the door was barged down ( i was wrapped in covers ) as Chris turned around his hands on the sill.
Mana and Marie ( A*Teen ) along with JC and Dhani ran over to me. Lance and Justin along with Joey and Robyn grabbed and pinned him on the ground by his chest with his arms behind his back. Mana got the tape off my mouth after a second try ( trying not to cause m anymore pain then I was already in ). She demanded Chris to tell her what he did to me, but got no answer. She asked me gently and I managed to get out that he raped me.
Everyone in the room was very angry with Chris, knowing that he was going to jail for this, band mate or not.
Mana was hugging Terri while Marie massaged her back ( she was sitting up ) and said " It's gonna be alright, we're gonna get that bastard for what he did to you." Terri cried harder as she struggled to breathe. Julie knew what was going on and the gang took me straight to the hospital while Chris was handcuffed and tied down and knocked and left locked in his room until we got back.
( from Terri's POV ).
I woke up 4 diff. times as the others sat around me waiting for news. The doctor ( Dr. Michel Stanford ) called the doctor from the clinic I was at 6 months and 29 days earlier. I drifted in out of consciousness tow more times before the doctor came in and said that I was alright. Sighs of relief went around the room accompanied by Thank Gods. I rolled my eyes as everyone cried and hugged each other. I said I love Chris. When people looked me I blurted out " JUST KIDDING !!!!!!."
The doctor asked to speak with me alone. He had to do it 3 times cause no-one heard him. Everyone was ushered out of the room as the doctor turned to face me and said that my baby was gonna be okay. I sighed relief and cried happily as the doctor ( 28 yrs. old, brown hair, brown eyes, brown beard and mustache, 6'2" tall ) hugged me and said Congradulations as he left everybody to let them visit me.
Mana - How are you feeling ?.
Terri - I'm okay. I'm still shook up though. How could he do this to me ?. He knew I was seeing Erik.
Julie - I dunno T. He was out of control and we didn't realize it.
Terri - I'm gonna kill that bastard I swear I will. ( cries as Marie hugs her ).
Marie - We'll make sure this doesn't happen again right guys ?.
All - Right.
Terri - Thanx Guys. This means alot to me.
Robyn - No problem T. We're just sorry that one of us wasn't there to protect you.
Terri - He was wearing Erik's cologne and I didn't know it was him until it was too late. I couldn't stop him he was too powerful. ( cries more ).
Dhani - Don't blame yourself okay ?. You didn't do anything to deserve this.
Terri - Why couldn't I see that he was insane ?. I could have gotten a restraining order ( keeps crying, getting a hug from Dawn ).
Dawn - It might not have worked. He still could have violated it. Don't blame yourself. But that Asshole is going to jail for what he did to you.
All you have to do is press charges and he'll be put away for good. You'll get revenge k ?. Justice will be served here.
Terri - I...I...I...I... can't press charges. It's too hard and he'll come after me again anyway.
Lori - Terri, are you insane ?!?!?!?!?!. You gotta press charges !!!!. You can't let him get away with this.
Terri - Please trust me on this okay ?. I just can't do it.*****

Everyone knew they couldn't convince Terri since she was so stubborn. The media tried to pry but maximum security around the building and threats of the lawsuits kept them away. Curse were thrown at the group from the media. Mana just shouted back that this was none of their business and to butt out 'cause no questions would be answered..

2 weeks later Chris raped Terri again. Then he did it 2 more times 4 days later.He was knocked out again as the gang got Terri to the ER once again.
Erik was notified this time and he raced to the hospital in his jeep getting two speeding tickets along the way. The first time they hadn't called him and Erik was angry about that b/c he wanted to there for Terri and he hadn't been told until 2 days after his girlfriend was resting in the hotel. When he got up to the floor where she was at, he saw everyone standing outside, with concerned looks on their faces. The doctor came out, saying that she was fine once again. ( He told Terri that her baby was still fine ) Everyone hugged and exchanged Thank Gods as they all started crying. The Doc said was starting to say she was pregnant when Terri stopped him by yelling " SEND THEM INTO SEE ME !!!!!."
After awhile he hurried the group out of the room while he talked with his patient.
Dr. - You have to tell them. They deserve to know.
Terri - Yes I know Dr. Send them in.
Dr. - Okay. You're doing the right thing here.
Terri - I hope so. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen though.
( the group comes into the room , with confused looks on their faces ).
Mana - What's up Doc ?.
Dr. - Your friend wants to tell you something very important but I want NO violence.
Julie - Why would we do that ?.
Erik - Is she okay ?.
Dr. ( Terri begs him to say it instead ) - Your friend here is going to have a baby.
----
Shocked faces were plastered across every face in the room except two. Terri was afraid of what Mana and Erik would do. A dead silence overcame the room as it finally hit the group.Terri looked to each face , hoping to read emotions, but saw nothing cept pure shock. She gulped. Erik had his hands in his pockets while the A*Teens put their hand in their also staring at the floor , trying to piece everything together. Dr. Michel Stanford didn't know what was going to happen. Mana tried to attack Erik, but thankfully, Nsync restrained her. Everyone barely managed to hold her back ad she decked him once, got free, then as they restrained her, kicked him in the stomach.
Erik regained his composure and pulled out a small velvet box. Taking a deep breath he looked up at everybody. He smiled as he opened the box.
******
Erik - Terri will you marry me ?.
Terri - No.
Erik - Huh ?.
Terri - Just kidding of course I will.

They hug as everyone around them celebrates. Almost everyone. Both were grinning from ear to ear as they hugged each other tight. Mana screamed and knocked Erik over after he placed the ring on Terri's finger.
He got Mana off him and hugged his fiancee.
The wedding date was set for July 28th.
Justin proposed to Tiff. and she accepted. A 4 couple wedding was going to happen. The date was kept a secret from the press for the time being. Hopefully, they could keep a secret till a couple days after the wedding until they were on their honeymoons. Justin wanted to take Tiff. to Greece, JC - Spain, Lance - Australia, Erik - Tokyo and Hawaii. Each honeymoon was going to be 2 months long. The bridesmaids for Terri and Erik's wedding were :. Mana, Britney, Jen, Many, Marie, Sara ( A*Teen ), Robyn, Julie, and Mikka. Her Maids of Honor were :. Cara, Dawn, and Amanda ( friend from Ohio ).
Erik's :.
Best Man - Patrick Levis.
Ring Bearer - His 6 yr. old cousin Darwin ( I made this up ).
Flower Girls ( both chose ) - Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
Pastor - ( first one they picked was fake so they had to hire another, both picked this one after they found out he was the real thing ) - Pastor John Richmond ( made this name up too ) ( the press didn't pick up on any of this yet, thank god ).
----
Mana was happy for everyone but was uneasy about Erik still.
Tiffany was so happy ( she picked out the bridesmaids, maids of honor and flower girls right away, as did Justin with the man stuff ).
Lori felt like she was dreaming and pinched herself. She realized that this was happening for real and got all tingly inside.
Dawn was jealous of Tiffany but was happy for Justin anyway. She didn't wanna pull a Sammie and try to break them up b/c they looked so happy and cute together.
There was 3000 guest invited to the wedding. It was going to be outdoors ( the receptions were going to be held in 4 separate halls ).
