chapter 22: 10,000 Promises

Chapter 22: 10,000 Promises “Once we were lovers, Just lovers we were oh what a lie, Once we were dreamers, Just dreamers we were oh you and I, Now I see you're just somebody, Who wastes all my time and money, What a lie, You and I, What about your, Your 10,000 promises, That you gave to me, Your 10,000 promises, That you promised me”

Amy and Brian drove home from the pizza place in silence except for the constant hum of the radio. Suddenly Amy turned to Brian.

“You do know I’m not mad right?” She asked concerned. Brian smiled and quickly glanced at her from the driver’s seat.

“Yeah Amy, I know you’re not mad. I can tell you’re kind of disappointed though.” he told her. Amy hung her head a little, feeling caught in an act.

“Yeah… I’m sorry for feeling disappointed Brian but now that we’re dating, I want you to be mine. Does that sound too selfish?” She questioned.

“No, not at all. I know exactly what you mean.” Brian explained while putting an arm around her and pulling her to him closer. “We’re going to be happy Amy, I promise. Everything is going to go just perfect.” Brian comforted her. Amy had her doubts though. How did she know that Brian wouldn’t turn out like Josh and ran back to Em? She didn’t and that’s what scared her as she faked a smile at Brian.


Once AJ and Megs were done their dinner they paid the bill and climbed back into the car. Almost instantly Meg fell asleep. She hadn’t realized just how tired she’d been but it’d all been worth it.

“So what do we wanna do when we get home?” AJ questioned. “Meg?” “Megs?” AJ then looked over at Meg and smiled at the sight of his girl sleeping peacefully. “Oh Meg do you realize just how happy I am with you?” He questioned his sleeping beauty. (MN: hehe) “When I’m with you everything just seems so right and I’m just so happy. I live for holding you in my arms. I really don’t think I’ve ever felt this way before and truthfully? It scares the shit out of me. I want to be with you constantly and when I’m not, I don’t know what to do with myself. I don’t know what I’m going to do when we go back on tour.” AJ sighed as he poured his feelings out to Meg, thinking she was asleep. Little did he know, she’d awaken seconds after he’d started talking.


Howie quietly slipped in the door of the home that he shared with Courtney. Finding a note on the table he quickly read it, recognizing Courtney’s handwriting.

Dearest Howie,

Hey baby. I know you’ll be reading this when you get home from being with Stephania. I just want to tell you that I love you so much baby. I don’t want to see other people. I just want you. I’ll be upstairs waiting for you…follow the rose petals.

I love you,

Courtney

Howie smiled at the thought of how Courtney and him completely clicked. Looking down he found, as she’d said, rose petals on the ground and followed them. He followed them all the way to the guest bedroom where he heard soft music and saw the soft glow of candles. Opening the door, and letting his eyes adjust to the dark atmosphere. Quickly he found Courtney lying on a bed of rose petals. He slowly walked over to her, knowing that it would be a long night. (MN:*wink wink* hahaha)


“I just didn’t know what to do or who to go to so I went to you. God Kevin I just can’t believe he left me and went with my Holly, my best friend!” Kristen cried as Kevin held and comforted her.

“Shhh, Kristen baby, it’s ok. Really it’s fine I’m here.” Kevin comforted her as Lea straightened at the sound of the name ‘baby’. She suddenly felt very left out and uncomfortable. He still loves her… she worriedly thought to herself while watching her boyfriend with Kristen.

“Umm Kev?” Lea questioned while tapping Kevin on the shoulder.

“Hold on Lea.” he told her while listening to Kristen cry. Lea instantly felt hurt and walked into Kevin’s kitchen to find paper and a pen. Finally she found some and scribbled down a quick note.

Kevin,

I thought you and Kristen probably wanted to be alone so I left. Call me later.

Love you,

Lea

Lea placed the note on the kitchen table, picked up her purse, and quietly slipped out the back door.


“Wow” Em said after hanging up her cell phone. Nick just smiled and wrapped his arms around her as Em giggled. “That was…great” She commented again.

“I know. It was amazing.” he agreed while smiling at her. “I don’t think I’ve felt this way for a long time…” he confided in her. Em turned her head to look at him.

“Me either…” she whispered to him as they kissed yet again with a new found passion.
