She fought back tears as she raced over to his house in her new corvette. What the hell would she say to him when she got there? There was no way he would forgive her and really, she didn’t expect him to.
She squealed into the driveway and quickly punched in the security code that she had memorized. The gate opened and his car was there. She used her key to get in, knowing he wouldn’t have answered.
"Vin, it’s me. Where are you?" she called and he appeared suddenly.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked angrily.
"Can you please just let me talk for once?" she sounded shaky.
"Talk to you? You are still wet! You’re disgusting, don’t make me throw you out of here Trace!" he yelled. Funny, he still used her nickname.
"I made a mistake, baby. I - uh," she couldn’t speak all of a sudden.
"A mistake? Is that what you fucking call it? Fucking a gay ass backstreet guy or whatever the hell he is," he yelled some more, opening the door for her to go.
Her heart sank.
"Please don’t do this," she said.
"Where am I?" Traci asked, feeling someone next to her. Her vision was pretty blurry and her head felt like it had a ton of bricks on it.
"You’re in the hospital baby. I called Carla, she’s on her way," a familiar voice said. She didn’t know much but she knew that was AJ McLean’s voice. She felt him holding her hand.
"She’s my best friend," Traci smiled and AJ looked weird. "How do you know Carla?"
He gave her another strange look and then it all started to make sense.
"Oh my god, you are her secret," Traci said and started crying.
"Yah. She knows you were going to meet me but she doesn’t know about us Trace,"AJ said, looking sad.
"Hey!! You’re awake! Thank God!!"Carla said, going to her friend and hugging her, making sure not to hurt her.
"She just woke up babe," AJ said, kissing his girlfriend. Traci felt like throwing up. What had she done? Carla would never forgive her and then there was Vin, it was over and it had just hit her. How could
Vin walked in with roses and when he saw AJ, the rage he had felt kicked in. He had not been to see Traci yet and no one really knew why.
"Are you stupid or what?" Vin was seething as he spoke to AJ.
"What’s wrong?" Carla asked and Traci knew it was all going to explode.
"Your boyfriend has been fucking my girlfriend, or didn’t he tell you?" Vin turned to Carla.
"That’s crazy!" Carla said and she looked at everyone in the room. Before anything else happened, Vin walked calmly to AJ, looked at him and punched him so hard he flew across the room. Nurses rushed in and Vin looked at them all calmly and walked out of the room.
Carla looked at Traci and Aj and could tell by them not saying anything that it was true. AJ was bleeding but he was conscious. He could have denied it and he didn’t. Carla had to get out of the room - she had to get air. Her whole world felt like it had just crashed. The tears were out and she couldn’t stop them.
