Chapter 21
LESLIE'S AT HOME…
After talking to Brian, I laid on the couch thinking
about
what happened for at least 3 hours. I still didn't understand,
and
I kept trying, it hurt when I did.
I got up and went to the kitchen getting
another cup of
coffee when Wendy comes bursting through the door crying
her
eyes out.
"Wendy?" I asked as she wiped her eyes. She dropped her
bag on the floor and put on a fake smile.
"Hey Les, can I have some
coffee too?" She asked
walking over to the coffee. She looked pitiful trying
to smile.
"Wendy? Come on what's wrong? You can tell me," I said
as she poured
herself a cup.
"I came onto A.J., and he turned me
down."
"At least you didn't do what I did," I said popping
2 pills in
my mouth.
"Tell me so I'll feel better," she said
sitting on the kitchen table.
"Brian and I slept together, and he left
me saying it was a
mistake and shit like that!" I said as I sat next to
Wendy.
"Typical. He's not going to admit he loves you until he admits
it
to himself. I've gone through that before," she said as she took
a
sip of her coffee.
Wendy has had so many relationships I can't keep count.
She played Jon a lot, but wouldn't tell him and wouldn't
admit it to herself.
Now it's kinda weird that A.J. turned her
down, not many people have turned her
down before.
"What do you think I should do?" I asked thinking of
his beautiful
face and they way he touched me…
"Just let him do whatever
he wants, he will find out if he loves you
or not. If he doesn't, then forget
him. If he does, then never
let him go."
"I hope you're giving
me the good advice,
cause I'm going to take it."
"You should."
"What
about you and A.J.?" She sighed and rubbed her
temples.
"I don't
know, I really don't know." Just then Ashley
came home with tears in her
eyes too.
"Ashley?" I asked as all of us cried.
"I couldn't
stay at that house, I told Nick I loved him you guys
and he hates me now!"
We gave each other a huge group hug
as the phone rang. At 6 in the morning?
"Hello?"
Ashley answered wiping her tears.
"Hey Ash, it's Brian," he said
sighing.
"Leslie, it's Brian," I said as Leslie looked at Wendy.
"Advice
Wendy," she said.
"She doesn't want to talk to him Ash," Wendy
said.
"Brian she doesn't want to talk to you okay? I know
what
happened too," I said waiting for his response.
"Whatever Ashley,
I just wanted to tell her we were leavin'
right now back on tour and I wanted
to tell her bye."
"Les he wanted to say goodbye," I said holding
out the phone for her to
grab.
"Bye Brian," she said loud enough
for him to hear. I rolled me eyes
and put my ear back to the phone.
"How's
Nick Brian?" I asked thinking about him.
"He's still pissed. And
I have no clue what Wendy did to
A.J. but he hasn't said a word since we got
on the bus." I was
kind of wondering myself, I had no idea what was
going
on between Wendy and A.J.
"You guys ever going to call us again?"
I asked looking at my best
friends.
"I don't know about Nick or A.J.
but I will if Leslie will talk to me."
"I can be the messenger!"
I said laughing a little.
"What is she doing right now?"
"Crying
and taking more pills…Leslie that's enough no
more than 3," I said smacking
the extra pills out of her
hand.
"Oh…does she hate me yet?"
He asked.
"Leslie do you hate Brian yet?" I asked looking at her.
She
looked at Wendy and back at me and shook her head.
"No she doesn't,"
I said sighing.
"Okay. You know it would be easier with her
if she
hated me," he said as his voice trailed off.
"I guess Brian, I don't
think it was fair to her anyways, since
you know, she loved you and cared for
you and you dumped
her like that after getting what you wanted…" I said
as Leslie
hung up the phone. Wendy and Leslie looked at me funny.
"What
is wrong with you Ash?" Wendy asked as
I ran to my room. Nick was controlling
my life…
