THE NEXT WEEK
THE NEXT WEEK
I paced back and forth and I didn't know what to do. Alyse hadn't returned any of my calls, and Chris decided he didn't want to get involved in my personal affairs anymore. He was too into his girlfriend Andrea. I tried to ask Lance but all he could figure was asking who I loved most. Then I went to go see what Joey said but he was out on a date with this girl Leah. Justin offered his opinion, but I shrugged it off. He said just to pick Alyse because she looked sincere.....plus she was hot. God! Just when I thought Justin was starting to make sense. I left the hotel and was escorted to my car. I told my bodyguard that I needed to be alone so I drove and drove. To no particular place and suddenly I found myself at Alyse's place. She was staying here in Germany with a friend....Bethan I think her name was. I knocked on the door almost in a daze. I didn't know what my instinct was to come here, yet I found myself waiting nervously for an answer to my knock. Alyse opened the door, saw me, and shut the door in my face. I tried the door again and she made me wait 20 minutes before letting me in. " What do you want?" she said. " I wanted to say something to you at the club but you left me high and dry," I said moving closer to her. " Listen JC I made a mistake okay? Can't you just leave it at that? I said something you weren't ready for....something I went into too soon," Alyse said avoiding eye contact. " Alyse.....I'm glad you said that to me. It made me realize things...better now than I did yesterday. Listen I have to run but I will call you," I replied giving her a hug. She didn't resist me, she allowed me to wrap my arms around her even though I was being the worst to her. I left and got back in my car. Now all I had to do was wait until Thursday came to see Liza..... I felt a chill run up my spine as Liza talked. She was sitting next to me in my car, yapping away about her friends and who they were hooked up with. I only half listened. I needed to think fast about how I was going to talk to Liza....about us and Alyse. I thought of how she had cheated on me, how I cried, how I was willing to forgive her for her love. I looked at my watch. I only had an hour to spend with Liza, and it was slowly slipping away. How was I going to break the news to her? I didn't want to hurt anyone here. "Liza? I think we need to talk," I said. It was unexpected even to myself. " Well alright. I needed to say something to you too," she replied. An awkward silence envoloped us for 5 whole minutes. I blurted "I think we should see other people,". Liza said " I'm glad you felt that way JC, because I was seeing someone else while with you,". I was shocked but relieved. So she hadn't given up her cheating ways. Why hadn't that become a surprise to me? I dropped her off at her house and drove back to the hotel. It was finally over and now I could be with Alyse forever. A tear slid down my cheek as I joined the guys in the tour bus. I was going to miss Liza, but I was glad I gave her the final goodbye.
