Chapter 19

Steph
“Hey Steph, could we talk for a sec?" Scott asked. “Sure what's up?” She asked. “Remember when on Friday when we kissed.” He said. "Actually you kissed me or don't you remember?" Steph corrected him. "Whatever. Anyway, I thought about what you said, ya know choosing between you and Mel and I made up my mind." He told her. "Well what did you decide?” She asked nervously, she was almost 100% sure she knew what he'd decided. “I have to stay with Mel, we've been together too long to just throw away our relationship." She'd known all along he'd choose her. Why was she always so stupid and why did she kiss him? She shrugged as if she didn't mind. "Ok if that's what you want, stay with Mel, but could you promise me one thing?” “What?” Scott asked. "Don't ever cheat on her. If you decide to be with her, you gotta be with her 100 percent, you can't just go around kissing girls. This might sound weird coming from me but Mel's a special girl, and she loves you Scott. I can tell. so please just be faithful to her." And with that she walked away from him. She couldn't let him see he'd almost made her cry. But she had to face the facts that it just wasn't meant to be between them. Sure it hurt to be rejected but all she wanted was for Scott to be happy, and if that meant being with Mel she was gonna have to deal with with it.

Ritchie
Ritchie knew he had to talk to Adrienne. He had to find out the whole story of what had happened. So he decided to go to see her. She was staying with Katie so it was a lot easier then driving back to the old neighborhood. He drove over to Katie’s hoping Adrienne was home. He'd loved her back then, he'd kissed that other girl on an impulse and he couldn’t believe she'd gotten an abortion cuz of it. He rang the doorbell and Adrienne answered. “I knew you’d come. You just had to know what happened didn't you?" Ritchie stepped inside. “Yeah and I also got some explaining to do." He heard a baby crying. "Just a minute I'll go get Angel." She said. She returned holding a baby who looked a lot like her. He didn’t remember her having a sister. Then it dawned on him. "That isn't….” “It is." Adrienne replied. “Who’s she from?" Ritchie asked. "Zach, my husband." Adrienne replied. "I don't get it, you killed our baby, but you didn’t kill Zach's whoever he is." Ritchie said. Adrienne's eyes flashed angrily. "I did NOT kill our baby, it waasn't even a baby, I was just 3 months pregnant and how dare you call me a murderer, if you hadn't cheated on me maybe Angel would be your baby instead of Zach's and maybe you'd be my husband instead of Zach, but no. you had to go cheat on me with some bitch, what was I supposed to think? I was 15 I couldn't raise a baby alone, I didn't have a job or money and I was sure mom and dad would kick me out the house. And then what I'd be living on the streets but at least your stupid baby would be alive! Is that the only thing that’s important to you?!? Having a Richard Neville Jr. so he could also fuck girls, and cheat on them? Is that what you want?" Ritchie touched her arm. "Shhh, Adrienne calm down." Adrienne looked at him with tears in her eyes, but she was still furious at him. "You took advantage of me, and now what you want me to forgive you cuz your jealous that I found someone who loves and cares about me? Is that it?" “No you totally misunderstand, you shouldn't have had the abortion without talking to me, I would’ve supported you." He said. “Yeah right, why don't you go back to your little girlfriends you're obviously too immature to even talk!" She said. “OK I'll leave if you want me too, at least you heard my side.” He said leaving.

Amber
She stared at Jacqui and Abs, why had they invited her with them to Kellie's? She knew perfectly well why, they were two of her best friends and they had no idea that sweet Amber could actually be insanely jealous of their relationship. She had an idea but she didn't know if she could carry it out.

Jacqui
“What’s wrong with her?" She asked Abs as Amber left Kellie’s. "I have no idea." Abs said. Amber had been acting weird lately, everytime she and Abs asked her to hang out with them she was either not coming or doing the weird act. Maybe she thought that she wasn't wanted or something when she was with them. No, that was silly she was their best friend. Maybe it wasn’t her but Abs, maybe… no that wasn't possible. Maybe it was, after all Amber didn't have a boyfriend maybe it wasn't her or Abs, but Amber was sad she didn't have a boyfriend for herself. That was probably it. Well if that was the case then she could find Amber a boyfriend. That would be so great, they could double-date with Her and Abs all the time. "Abs I just had a great idea." "What?" He asked. "Let's find Amber a boyfriend, I figured the reason she's always running away is cuz she doesn't have a boyfriend and she wishes she had one so I'm gonna set her up with someone." Jacqui explained. "Great idea baby. You’re a genius." He said. "I know." Jacqui smiled and kissed him. Now all their peoblems would be solved.

Amber
Dear Abs, I gotta confesss I never forgot the night we spent together. No that wasn't good. Abs, I've always loved you and I always will. Nope too nerdy. Abs, you can't keep on lying to Jacqui, I want you, we have to be together Perfect. She went on to describe some more stuff, signed it and sprayed some of the perfume she never wore on the letter and went to Abs house. Good, he wasn't home, she climbed through his bedroom window. Was this breaking and entering? Nah. She decided. She put on some red lipstick, the kind she never wore and kissed the page. She left it on the corner of his desk where he’d probably never look, but Jacqui was sure to see it. Now all she had to do was wait for Jacqui's blowup. Then of course she’d be there to comfort Abs when Jacqui dummped him. She smiled to herself, the regular Amber would never do something like this.

Lacey
“So then he said he had to be with Mel and I told him not to cheat on her." Steph finished. "That’s nice of ya, I'd never be able to do anything like that, I'm too much of a bitch." Lacey said. “No you're not. Besides I'm not really that nice. Mel totally pissed me off, it is so unfair she gets Scott, I mean what does she have that I don't?” She said. "Hey why don't you try on this dress, it’s really sexy." They were at the mall just looking around for some clothes to buy. "No I'm pretty hungry why don't we go grab a burger or something." Lacey suggested. “Sure.” Steph said. They went over to the food section oof the mall. “So where do you wanna go?" Steph asked. Just then Lacey spotted someone. “You know what Steph, I'm actually not that hungry." "Why not? You were just hungry about a minute ago.” Steph said. "You see that guy over there with his back turned to us?" Lacey asked. "Yeah, look he's turning around. Ooh he’s hot." Steph said. "Shit, he saw me." Lacey said. "Why who is that anyway?" Steph asked. "Remember that guy I told you I went on a blind date with way back. Ya know with Sean and Jacqui.” Lacey said. “Oh yeah his name was Justin or something right? Look he's coming over." Steph said. “Oh no." Lacey said. "Didn't he dump you or something?” Steph asked. "No we didn't even go out again after the blind date." Lacey said. “Hey! Lacey, right?” J said as he came over. "Remember we went out?" "Yeah. Sorta.” Lacey said. “I think I’ll go get something to eat.” Steph said and walked away. "So you wanna get together sometime?" J asked. "Ok, how about tomorrow? Is that ok?” Lacey asked. “I think so I'll call you, just give me your number. Oh and by the way sorry I didn't call you back then but you never gave me your number." J replied. "So that’s why you never called?" Lacey said. “Yeah, why did ya think I wasn't interested or something." J asked. "Actually yeah." She admitted. "Great so I'll see ya around, I think Steph wants me to go eat with her now. See ya Jason." "See ya, and by the way call me J." He said.
