I awoke to find everybody gone. I was able to stand up. I guess sleeping helped a little bit. I just felt drained. Every bit of energy I had in me was gone.

There was a note on the table saying:

Hey sweety! Hope your feeling better. Ali gave you the day off and we'll be at rehearsal all day but we'll call and check in but we'll be home for dinner. If you feel up to it you can come on down but . . . yeah.

Sara and Ashley

I went into the bathroom and took a shower. It was refreshing. I put on my baby blue and white sundress, spaghetti straps and to the knee. And took my hair off my neck since it was such a nice day outside.

I knew there was know way I would be going to rehearsal.

Walking into the kitchen I looked in the refrigerator for something to eat. I really wasn't hungry but what else was there to do. It was already 3:00p.m. but I didn't really feel hungry.

::::They will be calling soon anywayz. I might as well stay here and wait.::::

Sitting down on the couch I flipped the TV on. I wasn't used to watching TV during the day. I was alwayz at rehearsal or somewhere. I just surfed through the channels. Landing on the " God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You " video. I didn't think I would break down crying. I didn't know I had anything left in me. But as I watched Justin's lips move and his face I couldn't help but let the tears flow.

The phone began to ring.

" Hello?"

" Hey. Are you okay? You don't sound to well?"

" No I'll be fine I just can't watch TV without seeing his face."

" Oh. I'm sorry. Your my best friend and I don't like to see you like this so if there is anything I can do just name it."

" Thanks Sara. But I'm fine."

" Are you sure?"

" Sara I'm positive. I'll be fine. Really. So what time do you think you'll be here?"

" Well, we're on a five minute break and then about another three hours or so of rehearsing. We'll pick up dinner on the way. "

" Okay. See ya." I hung up the phone and turned the telly off. I walked out on to the balcony and laid down in one of the lounge chairs. The view was beautiful. The ocean. The sun. The breeze. Hardly any one was on the beach. " I'll go for a walk later." I said out loud. I closed my eyes and just breathed in the smell of the salt water air. It was wonderful. Soon I drifted off to sleep.

I awoke to find everybody eating and watching the telly.

" Hey. I didn't want to wake you." Sara said when I came in through the balcony.

" When did you guys get here?" I followed her into the kitchen.

" Oh. About ten minutes ago."

" How are you feeling?" she said much quieter so the others couldn't here her. " Physically- better. Emotionally- I don't know. I never had anyone like Justin and then somebody went and screwed it up.Was Amy there today?"

" Yeah."

" I can't believe she had the nerve to show up after what she did to me."

" Don't worry about it. I asked Ali to fire her. So that's means we need to find a new costume designer fast."

" Thanks Sara." I said hugging her.

" Hey what are friends for?"

We both went back into the front room. Everybody was chillin' and watching the telly. I watched Justin. He was laughing. He looked so good. The way his nose scrunches up and his face looks so adorable. But his gaze caught mine and I looked away. Tears started to form in my eyes. I couldn't stand this fighting but he doesn't know how much he hurt me. I stole another glance at him. His eyes were still fixed on me.

" Sara, I'm going for a walk on the beach."

" Are you okay?" noticing my tears.

I nodded. " I'll be fine. I'll be back later."

Walking along the beach was peaceful. The sun was setting. And the sky was getting darker. Nobody to bother me. I had to control my thoughts. All I wanted to do was to run into Justin's arm. Have him hold me forever like he promised. But promises are made to be broken aren't they? At least I won't ever have to see Amy's face again.

" Who ya thinking about?" someone whispered in my ear.

I jumped a million miles when I heard Amy's ice cold voice. " What do you want?" I quickly headed back to the hotel. I hadn't walked far so it didn't take me that long. But she followed me. " Only to share with you all the details about what Justin and I did." She said with a giggle. " Leave me alone."

" Look. just because I got fired doesn't mean we can't still hang out."

I didn't want to be stuck in an elevator with her so I ran up the four flights of stairs. Trying to get away from her. She kept on following me. I walked as fast as I could down the hall and to my room. My fingers fumbled with the room key. That gave her seconds to keep berating(if thats even a word) me.

" His hands. His adorable face." I got the door open. I walked inside but she kept following me. Everybody looked up. She kept right on. " And his lips."

" Jen, how come you never told me that Justin is such a good kisser?"

That pushed me over the line. I didn't have to take this. I turned and punched her. At first she was surprised that I even had the guts to so something like that. But not for long because she drew her fist back and took a try at me. Her fist landed in my eye but I wasn't about to give up. I looked up at her. She laughed. Uhhhhh! She made me mad!!! I lunged towards her and tackled her to the ground. I punched her again.

But before I could do anything else someone pulled me off of her. " Let me go!" I yelled. Joey held Amy back. I glared at her.

" Jenny. Control yourself." Amy sneered. I lunged towards her but strong arms held me back. " Why Amy?" I cried (literally). " I thought we were best friends. What? Did you plan out to destroy my life from the beginning?" Her expression didn't soften at all. Before she had a chance to answer me, Joey carried her out the door. I looked up and JC loosened his grip on me. " Are you all right?"

" No" I whispered. I collapsed into him crying. He put his arms around me in a hug.
