A.J. just looked at Stephanie. She could see something in his eyes, but was not sure what it was. Before she could say anything else A.J. turned and walked to his car, got in and drove off.
Megan put her hands on her hips, “Now, what am I suppose to do?”
Nick pushed the door open a little further, “Wanna come in?”
Megan walked in, glaring at Stephanie as she passed, “thanks.”

Kevin looked at his plat as Jessie flipped another pancake on to it, “Cheer up, life goes on,” she said trying to cheer him up.
Kevin looked up at her, “I cared about her Jess.”
“Well, obviously, she didn’t feel the same,” Jessie responded.
It was the worst thing she could have said. Kevin got up without another word and stormed out of the house. Jessie sighed as she sat down at the table and listened to his car back out of the driveway.
** 1 WEEK LATER **
Stephanie was about to kill Nick. He had annoyed her so much about “their destiny” that she had finally blown up at him and told him it would be a cold day in hell when they ended up together. Now, she sat on the phone and talked to his machine, apologizing over and over. She was still trying to patch things up with A.J., he was mad at her about something, he wouldn’t tell her what it was…but she figured it was Nick. No matter what life it was there was always problems. After apologizing to Nick’s machine for the billionth time she hung up and through the closest thing, she could reach into the wall, which happened to be a spatula…not a really big impact at all. She stomped upstairs, yelling, “YOU KNOW, YOU WOULDN’T THINK IF A PERSON DIED AND COME BACK TO HELP HER FRIENDS THEY WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE COOPERATIVE!!”
Howie and Brandi had stopped by A.J.’s house to see if he wanted to go out on the town with them. He had been really moody for a week and they both wanted to see if they could cheer him up. They had barely reached the front door when it swung open and A.J. grabbed Howie and jerked him into the house, “A.J., man, what’s going on?”
A.J. didn’t answer, but kept pulling Howie farther into the house. Brandi followed quietly, wondering what was going on. A.J. let go of Howie once they had reached his living room and began to pace in front of the fireplace, “Look at that,” he said pointing at a picture that was laying on the coffee table. Howie and Brandi looked at the picture curiously.
It was a picture of the guys and their crew on their last world tour. “What are we suppose to see?”
“Look at who is standing by us,” A.J. growled sitting down across from them.
Howie and Brandi looked back at the picture, “Well, Jessie, Brandi, Megan, and Stephanie are with us, so?”
A.J. nodded, “Stephanie’s with us…the picture is two years old.”
Howie and Brandi looked at A.J. astonished and then at the picture, “But we did know her then, didn’t we?” Brandi asked looking at the two guys.
