"Oh my gosh, I heard what he said.  He want's you so bad!"
    "No he doesn't.  He's just playing around, he only likes me as a...."  I say as Howie cuts me off.

    Howie gives me a brotherly look and says, "We all like you and Sarah. But I've been best friends with AJ a
        long time.  I heard what he said too, he seemed pretty serious."
 
    I look at Howie and Sarah, then at AJ who is standing by the door talking to Brian.
 
    "Howie, you just said you like me.  But you don't like me like that, not like she says AJ does.  You like me as
        a friend.  Just like AJ means that he likes me as a friend."
 
    Just now someone, very familiar, comes walking through the door.  I look at him in disbelief.
        I say in a soft voice, "It can't be, can it?"
        "Can't be who?" Howie asks.
        "Oh my gosh." Sarah says, in a slightly angry voice.

        Then the person walks up to me.

        "Well, look who it is," he says.
        "What are you doing here?" I ask.
        "I heard that you were in the area and I thought I'd drop by and see what you were up to." the guy
            replies nicely.
        "Who's that?" AJ asks Sarah.
        "His name is James Summers," Sarah quietly informs the guys."He has a bad background with Suzy and me."
        "Why?" Howie asks.
        "He used to beat Suzy up.  He always said that he cared about her, but he didn't." Sarah said. "She has
            some scars on her from him."

        I look at AJ, who is glaring at James.

        "You better go away." I command.
        "Don't you tell me what to do." James says.
        "Look, I'm going to tell you this one more time.  Leave!"  I yell as he slaps me across the face.
 
        That's when AJ takes charge. He grabs James by the shirt and shoves him against the wall.
 
        "Didn't your mother ever teach you not to hit women?" AJ angrily asks.
        "Let me go," James demands.
        "No," AJ yells and pushes James harder.
        I can see James getting angry and I yell, "AJ stop!  This isn't your problem, let me handle it, Please!"
        But it's too late and James throws a punch at AJ, but misses.
        AJ hits him in the mouth and it turns into a huge fight.  AJ throws James to the ground and keeps punching him in the face.  Then James punches AJ in the mouth and busts his lip.  I set there yelling and pleading for them to
stop.  Finally Howie, Nick, Kevin and Brian pull the two guys apart.  AJ's lip is bleeding. He shrugs Nick and Brian off of him and walks away.  I look at him and decide to follow.
