¤ Chapter 1 ¤

“JC, what’s wrong with you?” Renae, JC’s girlfriend of almost 6 months yelled to him as he stormed out of her house after yet another senseless argument. Renae was 20 years old and had gorgeous red hair that brought out the beauty in her sparkling green eyes. JC and her had a great relationship but off and on they would have lover’s spats over absolutely nothing. This time Renae had no idea why he had left so she raced out the door after him as he was about to get in his Jeep.

“JC, don’t run away from me, how can we settle problems if you have to always run away. Stop please.” She yelled as she ran up to him and grabbed his arm. She looked deeply into his ocean blue eyes and knew something was wrong. “JC talk to me.” she pleaded more calmly.

“Renae, things between us just aren’t working, I can’t go through this one more time, you’ve pushed the limits, it’s over.”

“What? JC you can’t leave me I love you baby, what did I do this time?”

“Don’t play stupid, I saw you last night when I was coming back from the bathroom at the club. You kissed that guy and not only that you were all over him Renae, I saw it with my own two eyes.”

“Oh my god” she thought to herself. She remembered back to last night and regretted every moment. She thought of how to get herself out of this one.

“He was drunk, he just kissed me I tried to pull away but I couldn’t. JC I love you I wouldn’t cheat on you I swear I wouldn’t.”

“I’ve had it with the lies you kissed him, you can’t break yourself out of this mistake. I’ll see you around.” He said as he got in his Jeep and drove away.

She began crying when she realized he was really gone. Instead of standing alone in her driveway where the nosy neighbors could watch her she went in the house and sat on the couch and picked up the phone and dialed JC’s phone number.

After 3 rings the answering machine clicked on so Renae left him a message.

“JC this Renae, I never meant any of this, please just call me back and we can talk about it, please JC, I love you, Bye.” her tears continued to poor as she spoke. She couldn’t just sit and think about him, she needed advice so she picked up the phone once again.

“Hello?” her best friend Sammi answered.

“Sammi, it’s Renae.”

“Hey girl, I was just about to call you, what’s up?”

“JC just broke up with me.”

“Oh my god, why?”

“Well last night you know how we went to the club like always, well he went to the bathroom and this guy, Scott, well he asked me to dance so I danced for awhile and then we kissed and Scott left a few seconds before JC came back. And I found out JC saw me kiss him.”

“Renae, why did you do that. You’re my best friend and you’re like a sister to me but you’re so stupid sometimes.”

“I know, I realize what a goof I was now that I’ve lost him.”

“Ok well listen I’ll swing by your house in half an hour and we’ll go to dinner and we’ll go see a movie maybe that’ll get your mind off of JC for awhile.”

“You always can turn my frowns upside down Sammi, I’ll be waiting for ya.”

“Ok see ya soon, Bye.”

“Bye.” Renae hung up the phone and ran to her room to get a shower and quickly change. Renae got dressed and waited out front for Sammi.

Minutes later Sammi pulled up and Renae ran to the car.

“Hey girl. Ready for a night out?” Sammi asked.

“You better believe I am.”

“Good, hey get that paper and see what time the movie is starting.” She said as they drove off.

“Which movie are we going to see?”

“I was thinking about that new Blair Witch Project, it’s suppose to scare the crap out of you, so I figured what the hell.”

“Ok cool, it start’s at 7:15 and 9:00 p.m.”

“Let’s get something to eat and walk around the mall then we’ll catch the 9 o’clock one I’m in no hurry to get home, how about you?”

“Nope, let’s just go.” Renae said as she put the paper back down and noticed another section of the paper.

“Sammi? What’s this?”
