(Krystal's POV)
Well, two days passed rather quickly. I was getting a bit nervous about the whole meeting again thing. What was I to say to her to soften the blow? I had cheated on her, and with her favorite BSB too. That was not going to sit well at all. Mook kept his distance from me, too. That made me down right ashamed. I had let him down and I knew there was no way for me to make up for that. I was in Phoenix and the Ritz Carlton when I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in," I yelled.
The door opened and AJ came inside.
"What do want, AJ?"
"Nothin' much. Seeing what you were going to do today. We don't have to be at the arena for a few hours and I thought maybe we can fool around," he said with a smirk.
"No thank you. Hills is coming to see me tonight. Besides, I told you what we did was a mistake."
"Mistake, huh? Well, I don't think so. Have you told Hills what happened between us?"
"No, I'm telling her tonight. I have to be honest with her in order to try to work things out."
"Work things out? You amaze me. You want her over me. Some chick who won't even let you in. That's stupid," he said. I can tell he was getting a bit angry.
"It's not stupid. I love her. She loves me and we can work things out," I said defiantly.
"Ha! When she hears about what happened, she won't give you a second glance. Give it up, Krys. Let the girl be. You can have me instead. We fit well together, or have you forgotten." AJ walked over to me, grabbed my head and pulled me into a kiss. I was in a daze. The boy can kiss but I didn't want him. I pushed at him and finally he let go.
"AJ, I think you need to leave."
"Fine, but this is far from over, girlie. Far from over."
He left my room and slammed the door. What he said scared me. What did he mean by "far from over" anyways? I sat down on my bed and picked up the phone to call Hills to schedule our meeting.

(My POV)
Krystal called me and we planned to see each other at the arena around 4 pm. That would give us enough time to talk and for her to do her warm ups. I called Kathy and she picked me up around 3pm. We made our way to the arena avoiding heavy traffic. I picked up the backstage passes from the will call box and we went in the arena to find Krystal. AJ greeting us at her dressing room.
"Hey Hills. What are you doing here?"
"Here to see Krys. Have you seen her? I was supposed to meet her here at 4."
"Nah, haven't seen her around. Can I talk to you for a minute though?"
"Yeah, sure. What's up?"
"Let's go some where private."
"Ok. Kathy, you mind staying here while I talk to AJ?" She gave me this weird look and pulled aside.
"I don't know if I trust him. Something is wrong here."
"It's just AJ. I'll be back ina few, ok?"
"Ok. I'll tell Krystal that you are here," she said glancing warily at AJ.
"Ok. Be right back. Come on, AJ."
He took me by the hand and led me to his dressing room. I sat down on a couch and he sat directly in front of me on a chair.
"Listen. I know what happened between you and Krys. She told me everything."
I was a little shocked but I could tell he wanted to say something else.
"I don't know how to tell you this but she and I are dating now and I think it would be best if you would not call her."
I blinked my eyes a few times. I knew I didn't hear what I thought I heard. AJ and Krystal dating? Never. Not in a million years.
"Can you run that by me again, please? I'm not sure I heard you correctly," I said bewildered.
"It's simple. You're not her woman. She wants a man. You know, someone with a dick," he laughed. It wasn't a funny, ha ha, laugh. It was an evil type laugh. Like he knew something I didn't. It angered me.
"What are you talking about, AJ?"
"Let me break it down for you. We are fucking. Get it? She needs someone to be with her all the time and you can't give her that. I can. You do remember how you totally told her no about going on tour with her, right?"
I was speechless. He was being dead serious. I could read it in his eyes. He fucked my girl and my girl fucked him. I couldn't believe it. I just could not believe it. Tears rushed to my eyes at the speed of light and I couldn't hold them back. This was all my fault.
"Hey, don't cry. She has me now. You can go back to your peon little life and not worry about her. She said she didn't like you anyway and she just wanted to try something new. Sorry," he said.
I couldn't talk. I couldn't move. I sat there and cried. AJ got up and opened the door.
"I guess you should leave now. Krystal isn't going to be here for about another hour or so. She sent me here to talk to you in her place."
I got up and walked out the door. Time seemed to stand still as I slowly walked to Kathy. She saw the tears on my face and ran to me.
"What's wrong, girl?"
"We need to leave. Just get me out of here before I vomit." Kathy grabbed my hand and tried to rush me out of the arena as fast as she could. I looked over at AJ standing in front of his dressing room door. He waved good-bye and smiled at me. I was so busy looking at him that I didn't notice anyone around me and bumped into someone. It was Krystal.
"Hill where are you going? I thought we were going to talk."
I let go of Kathy's hand and slapped Krystal hard across the face.
"How could you? Why did you?!" I was hurt. I wanted her to feel the same pain I felt.
"What are you talking about?"
"Talk to your new boyfriend. You know, the one with the dick?! I think his name is AJ. He told me enough to know that you used me. So I guess you feel good now that you have had both sexes. Fuck you, Krystal Harris!" I took off running then. The bile in my stomach was making it's way up and I had to get out soon. I left Kathy behind and made it out the arena just in time before my lunch came up.
