Chapter 7


Brian had his hands in his pocket, while Amy suddenly found her feet fascinating.

“Umm…how are you?” Brian asked, breaking the silence.

“I’m pretty good and yourself?”

“The cut’s still hurting but otherwise, I’m okay”

“Yeah, I am sorry about that” Amy began but Brian stopped her.

“I wasn’t about to let that guy hurt you, whoever he was”

“I admire your sense of heroism, but I’m no damsel in distress”

“Oh really? Not in any need of a prince?” Brian asked, flirting back.

“Not at the moment, but maybe you could change my mind” She said seductively, as their flirting grew with each statement.

“Could I at least take you out to dinner, just so we’re even?”

“I would like that a lot” She replied, linking arms with him. They walked down the hall, continuing to flirt along the way to the parking lot.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Cate, Kristen, Meg and Kat were watching Total Request Live when there was a knock on the door.

“Who could that be?” Meg asked, while Kat just shrugged, “I’ll answer it than”

Meg got up off the couch and opened the door. A girl about her height, maybe a few inches taller was standing there. She had hazel eyes and light brown hair.

“Can I help you?” Meg asked.

“I was just looking for Amy Evans. Does she live here?”

“She’s not here at the moment. Would you like to wait for her?”

“That would be great. My name’s Jackee” She replied, sticking out her hand.

“The name’s Meg” She said, shaking her hand, “C’mon in”

“Cool place. Where can I put my stuff?”

“Just leave it by the door for now. Kat, Cate, and Kris meet Jackee”

“Hello” They said, turning around to face them.

“So what are you watching?”

“TRL, the best show on the planet”

“Coolies” Jackee replied, joining the other two on the couch.

“I think I’m gonna see what Howie is doing,” Kristen replied while getting off the couch.

“Bye Kris” They all answered, not taking their eyes away from the TV.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kristen knocked on the door, hoping Howie would answer. No such luck.

“Kristen, what are you doing here?” AJ asked surprised.

“I wanted to see Howie”

“He’s kind of busy right now”

“Well, he’s not too busy to see me” She answered, pushing past him.

“Kris, I don’t think you wanna…”

“Where is his room?” She asked sternly.

“Down the hall, first door on your right”

“Thanks” She said, than went down the hall to his room.

She opened the door to find Howie in bed with another woman (*AN: it could be a guy, but who knows with Howie…Hehehe…sorry, it was just there*). She couldn’t believe it.

“Mind explaining yourself?” Kristen asked outraged.

“It’s not what it looks like”

“Yeah, you’re just screwing someone else in bed. Of course it isn’t what it looks like”

“Can’t we settle this the right way?”

“You’re right Howie,” Kristen said, than punched him right in the nose.

“Howie, like oh my gosh, are you like okay?” The one in bed asked.

“Bye now” Kris said, than ran out of his room and tried to leave but AJ stopped her.

“Kris, wait”

“Why AJ? He broke my heart. Just let me go”

“I tried…I tried to stop him but he wouldn’t listen”

“I don’t care. Why don’t you go screw Meg or something,” She said harshly.

“Fine, Kris. Just leave. I’m sorry this happened this way”

“Me too, AJ, me too” She answered, than left.

Kristen ran into the apartment and straight to the guestroom. The other four-exchanged weird looks but continued watching TV.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“That was a nice trip to McDonald’s”

“What can I say, I’m a cheap date”

“I never meant it that way. It was a sweet gesture”

Brian and Amy were walking along the streets after their lovely fast food date.

“You are a very sweet girl” He replied smiling, making Amy blush.

“No need to make me turn different shades of red now”

“Ever since I saw him in those dreams, I’ve just felt so different”

“Brian, I know. It’s all so new with you. I thought I was suppose to be grieving over Noah forever, and than I met you. It all changed”

“I know exactly what you mean. I feel I can be so happy when you’re around me” Brian said, gently stroking Amy’s cheek.

“We can’t do this, not now…”

“Sshh, we both know this is right. Don’t try to stop it,” He whispered softly.

He gently placed his lips on hers, caressing them ever so lovingly. She had her arms wrapped around his neck, while his rested at her waist. They parted only to look into each other’s eyes. Amy played with the little curls that surrounded his forehead, laughing at how cute they looked.

“Are you laughing at my wonderful hair?” He asked sarcastically.

“No, just the thought of how we first met”

“Yes, but can’t we think about that later?”

“Nope, we have to go back to my place” “Oh really? And do what my little lady?”

“First off, I’m far from little. Secondly, you’ll just have to wait and see” She said then made a dash towards their apartment building.

“Hey you little cheater, get back here” He called, running after her.

Amy had just gotten off the elevator when Brian caught her off guard and grabbed a hold of her.

“You must know that the stairs are a much quicker source to use”

“You must know that I don’t give a flying fuck,” She answered.

“Alright, then we’re both happy” He answered and gave her a quick kiss.

She opened the door to the apartment with Brian right behind her.

“Hi everyone. What’s up?” She asked.

“Well, well, well. It’s nice to see you too,” Jackee said standing up, confusing pretty much everyone.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Amy asked, suddenly angry.

“Amy, who is that?” Brian asked.

“That’s no way to treat little sister Jackee, is it?”

“WHAT??” Everyone asked at once. Suddenly, the room was deathly quiet.
