Chapter 13"Toni and Nick have lost their minds, that's all."
"Obviously. I've never heard anyone laugh so hard before. What did you say to them anyways?"
"Nothing, Toni saw the bruise on my back and her and Nick thought you hit me. I had no choice but to tell them the truth and they found it to be hilarious," Kristen said and AJ started to hide his laughter. "You are the one who gave me the bruise and yet you still find it funny?" Kristen asked sarcastically.
"Well think about it. If it was switched around and it was Nick and Toni you would be laughing your ass off at them."
"You are impossible," Kristen said as they turned the corner onto the block that they lived on. They saw that AJ's house was blocked off and their were a few cop cars around.
"What the hell?" AJ asked himself. As they got closer they saw that there were a few cops standing around and there were painters painting the side of the house. "What is going on?" AJ asked one of the cops when he got out of the car.
"There was just an act of vandalism done to your house by some teenage girls sir that were caught and arrested," the cop said. AJ walked to the side of his house with Kristen right behind him and they saw the painters painting over red grafitti that said 'AJ's wife is a whore'. Kristen took off running into the house and slammed the front door shut behind her.
"Were you trying to cover this up or something before I got up so I wouldn't know about it?" AJ asked pissed off.
"We thought that it would be best if you and your wife didn't know plus it wasn't an appropriate thing for the neighborhood to see on the side of your house."
"Did you ask those girls why they did this?"
"Yes we did."
"Good now you better tell me why," AJ said getting an attitude.
"They said because Kristen was working her way through the Backstreet Boys. Something about Nick not giving her what she wanted so she moved to you knowing that you would. Sorry if I offend you by saying that but that is what they said sir."
"Get the side of the house fixed and don't ever think that something is the best for me and my wife. I want to know what the hell is going on at all times if it involves me or her," AJ said storming into the house. He went into his and Kristen's room and saw Kristen crawled up in a ball laying on the bed. AJ sat down on the bed next to her.
"I hate that fucking bitch," Kristen said.
"Come on Kristen you don't know for a fact that Cassie had anything to do with that."
"I know she was the one who said all that stuff to the magazine publisher. Your fans are obviously going to buy the magazine and read it because they want to know more about their favorite Backstreet Boy's wife. Cassie did make me sound like a whore."
"You're not though. All that matters is if you know that and all your friends know that."
"Well that bitch is going down," Kristen said getting up off the bed. She ran out of the house and jumped in her car and sped away down the driveway.
"Shit," AJ said as he searched for his car keys to go after Kristen. Kristen got to Angela's apartment and knocked on the door. A couple seconds later the door opened and there stood Cassie on the other side.
"Angela isn't here. She went out with Brian," Cassie said.
"That's nice," Kristen said sarcastically then punched Cassie dead in the face as hard as she could knocking her over onto the floor.
"Bitch what was the for!" Cassie yelled as she felt her nose bleeding. Kristen ignored Cassie and jumped on her and began hitting her over and over again. Brian and Angela walked into the door way and saw Kristen hitting Cassie. Brian grabbed Kristen around the waist and pulled her off of Cassie.
"What is wrong with you two?" Angela asked getting angry with the two of them. "Kristen you don't come and here and just start beating the crap out of people. And Cassie if you don't stop your immaturity then you can find yourself some place else to live because I will kick you out of my apartment," Angela finished saying as she went to her room and slammed the door shut. AJ was now standing in the door way and had seen Angela yelling at them.
"Let her go," AJ said to Brian.
"And you find that a good idea why?" Brian asked sarcastically.
"Because they are going to figure out their problems. You two are going to talk it out and Kristen don't touch her."
"Fine," Kristen said with an attitude as Brian let go of her. Brian and AJ then went into the other bedroom so Kristen and Cassie could talk in private.
"If Kristen was my wife I would be scared to death," Brian said sarcastically.
"Why?"
"You see what she did to Cassie's face? Just think what she could to you if you made her mad enough."
"There's a difference between me and Cassie. She's hated by Kristen and I'm loved by her. Besides I'm a lot stronger than her. I don't know where she is getting the strength to beat the shit out of Cassie but she did a pretty good job of it."
"Just encourage her on," Brian said once again sarcastically. In the kitchen Cassie was getting a wet cloth to wipe the blood off her face.
"You know between you and Toni I'm getting sick and tired of being hit all the time. Take an anger control class or something."
"I'm not taking shit. Why the hell are you trying to ruin my life?" Kristen demanded to know.
"I thought you would have figured that out a long time ago. But then again the only person you think about is yourself not the person who is supposed to be your best friend."
"Oh don't even tell me that I don't think about my best friend. You don't see me trying to ruin your life now do you? No. Now why are you so out to get me?"
"You really want to know why?" Cassie asked.
"Yes, I really want to know why."
"Think about it Kristen. When we first became friends we were like the best of friends. We did that talent show together when you were Britney Spears and I was one of the back up dancers. You got so much attention from all these guys, it was unbelievable. Did I get any attention? I don't think so, I got shit."
"Cassie I..."
"Shut up Kristen. You wanted an explanation and you're getting it so you might as well listen."
"Fine, I'll listen."
"All these guys were asking you out and you would turn them all down. It was making me sick. You were so picky about who you dated. Then Jesse came along and you were two were so in love. He was a typical male and I knew he would cheat on you. He seemed to be remaining loyal to you so I had to prove he was just like every guy and would cheat on you. So I slept with him and proved my theory right. Then there was Nick. The most popular Backstreet Boy who could have anyone he wanted and he chose you. He would definately cheat on you. I could tell you really loved him and I didn't want to see your relationship go any further because then he would decide to hurt you. So I slept with him and did you another favor. Now there's AJ. You were stupid enough to marry him."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Kristen asked.
"It means he's AJ. He likes anything that walks on two legs and has a chest."
"That's not true."
"Yes it is and you know it. You're just afraid to admit it. It's only a matter of time before he finds a better lay than you and cheats on you."
"Don't even give me that line of shit. All through high school you never had a boyfriend so you decided to take it out on me over pure jealousy. So don't think for one second I will buy that bull shit you just told me and sympathize for you," Kristen said leaving towards the room Brian and AJ went in. "AJ I'm leaving, I'll see you at home in a few minutes," Kristen said opening the door then walking away to leave.
"She's pissed," Brian said. "You better watch out she doesn't turn on you next." AJ gave Brian a weird look that shook his head at him.
"I'd like to know where you come up with this stuff."
"I'm just telling you how it is. She could do some damage to you too."
"Brian, let's put it this way. She's what, five foot two inches and barely weighs a hundred pounds. Now do you actually think she could hurt me even if she wanted to?"
"Hey it's usually the smallest people who have the most power."
"Forget it. I'll see you later," AJ said getting up leaving. When AJ got to the house he went into his and Kristen's room and saw her already in bed and fast asleep. AJ got undressed and climbed into bed next to Kristen. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek. "Goodnight," he said as he closed his eyes.
