“Um, I came by to…um…bring back your CD’s that you left in my car.” Theresa stuttered handing A.J 3 CD cases.
“Theresa, these are not my CD’s.” A.J stated as he shuffled through the CD’s then handing them back to her.
“Oh, ok. Sorry that I had bothered you.” Theresa blushed taking the CD’s from A.J and walked off the porch and towards her car.
“Theresa, wait, don’t be sorry. I’m really glad to have heard from you, cause I was hoping to talk to you.” A.J said chasing after her and placing his hand on her shoulder.
“We cant right now, I’m kind of…um…in a little situation and I still have to think a lot about what we had.” Theresa confessed turning back around and walked next to the driver’s side and opening the door. “I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be able to love again after what Justin did, A.J. You did what he did to me. I just need time.” With that Theresa got in her car started the engine and drove away.
“I’m not like him. And I didn’t do that with Amanda.” A.J murmured throwing his arms up in the air as he walked back into his house and slammed the door.
-Wednesday morning-
Theresa woke up extra early to wake up the rest of the house and rush to the airport. Stumbling through the halls in her boxers and tank top, reaching Stephanie’s door she banged on it loudly causing someone to fall to the floor.
“What?” Stephanie asked opening the door while pulling her long black hair into a messy ponytail.
“Get up. Remember we leave at 9:00am.” Theresa smirked as she turned and banged on Lisa’s door.
“I’m not getting up.” Lisa yelled as Theresa walked into her very colorful room.
“Fine with me, but Nick might be disappointed.” Theresa scoffed walking back out of her room and back into hers. She climbed in the shower then soon jumped out and got dressed in a pair of blue jean shorts and white skin tight T-shirt that ended right above her belly button. Walking out of the bathroom and into the hall where she ran into Stephanie, who gave her a disgusted look. “What?”
“You’re saying that you and Freddie are just friends, but look what you’re wearing.” Stephanie stated.
“What about you? You’re wearing a purple tube top and blue jean shorts.” Theresa sighed placing her hands firmly on her hips.
“I’m going out with Kevin, and maybe I’m wearing this for him.” Stephanie argued walking down the stairs.
“Stephanie, listen I am a single women.” Theresa sighed chasing after her. “I can wear whatever I wanted to.”
“Ok, Theresa. But how do you think A.J’s gonna feel, when he sees you at the airport wearing that?” Stephanie asked as she walked fastly into the kitchen.
“He doesn’t even know that I’m going…”
“Theresa, he’s riding the same airplane!” Stephanie butted in turning around looking at Theresa.
“Well, guess what, where not going to bump into each other. Please Steph, don’t worry about A.J nor me, ok. I’m fine right now.” Theresa yelled back walking back out of the kitchen.
“What’s all the yelling about?” Lisa asked walking down the stairs in a pair of black pedal pusher pants and a tight soft pink elbow length shirt.
“Stephanie…” Theresa yelled again, “is telling me about how I shouldn’t be wearing this outfit.”
“What’s wrong with it? I like it.” Lisa wondered walking down the stairs.
“Who knows, but every since she found out that I was going to the VMA’s with Freddie she’s been such a, a...BITCH!” Theresa screamed throwing her arms into the air and ran up to her room to grab her stuff.
“I am not a…”
“Come on guys, just SHUT UP!” Lisa sighed falling onto the couch.
-At Kevin’s house-
“Come on guys.” Kevin hollered threw his house.
“What time is it?” Brian asked wrapping his arm around Leighanne’s small waist and pulling her close for a small kiss.
“8:30am.” A.J answered looking at his watch.
“Come on, Nick. Get your bags picked up we have to go pick up Lisa, Stephanie, and…um…their stuff.” Kevin stuttered.
“Ok, I’m ready lets go.” Nick smiled stupidly as he walked towards the door.
“Let’s go.” Howie grinned as him and Jessica walked out the door and towards the shuttle van to the airport. As they all walked out of Kevin’s house, he locked it up and headed to the van and climbed in. The drive to Lisa, and Stephanie’s house was loud. Pulling in front of the house A.J noticed a yellow taxi pull away with a familiar blond in the backseat. Kevin climbed out of the van and went to grab Stephanie and Lisa. Reaching the door he knocked twice before Lisa finally answered.
“Hey Kev.” Lisa waved as she walked out with her bags in her hands and towards the van, where she seen Nick. She wanted to tell Nick about what happen to her along time ago, but she couldn’t. And she was wondering why he hasn’t talked to her for at least two days.
“There’s my babe.” Stephanie grinned up at Kevin giving him a quick smooth on the lips.
“Where’s Theresa?” Kevin whispered into her ear as she shutted the door and locked it.
“Oh yeah, she left earlier.” Stephanie frowned still furious with her. As they walked to the van Stephanie was greeted with a chorus of ‘hello’s’ then climbed into the van, then of course A.J spoke up to Stephanie.
“Where’s Theresa?” He questioned.
“Oh, Theresa…she…um…she…”
“She was still asleep when we left.” Lisa said finishing Stephanie’s sentence, as she gave her, a ‘thank you’ look across to her.
“Oh.” A.J sighed. The ride to the airport was mostly silent, except for that sometimes A.J would mumble something then write it on paper. They made it to the airport on time and rushed in to find their seats. Lisa climbed on to a crowded plane, she scanned through first class and noticed that Theresa was nowhere in sight, so she scrolled to the back and looked into the lower class seats, she finally noticed a blond, listening to her disc man and she knew it was Theresa. She headed back to her seat, but when she pasted Stephanie she just gave her, a small nod then sat in her seat in between A.J and Nick. The flight to New York was slow, the whole time Stephanie and Kevin were asleep on each other’s shoulders, A.J was still writing in his journal. Howie was listening to his disc man as Jessica caught up on her sleep; Brian and Leighanne yacked to each other the whole time.
“Here.” Nick whispered to Lisa handing her a sheet of paper. Lisa, who was surfing the net on A.J’s laptop, she looked up at him with an eyebrow raised then took the note. She slowly opened it and it said:
Lisa,
Baby, I’m so glad that you could come with me. Nothing makes me happier than me being with you. But can I ask you a question?
Nick
Lisa stared at it for a second then asked A.J if she could use his pen, he nodded then handed it to her. Lisa quickly scribbled something down and handed the note back to Nick, and A.J his pen. Nick opened the note to see her reply, which said:
Nick,
Babe, I’m glad I came to. Do you think I’d actually miss out on you shaking that nice butt of yours? Anyway, what’s the question you want to ask me?
Lisa
Nick blushed at her compliment then quickly wrote her back. Handing her the note she opened it to see his question:
Lisa,
Hun, I talked to your sister the other day, and she kind of told me something that you didn’t. I don’t want to really talk about you and that dude Tony, I just want to know why you didn’t tell me the truth.
Nick
Lisa’s eyes shot up and felt them start to get watery at the mention of that name, she turned her head to Nick who was staring at Stephanie and Kevin. She quickly snatched the pen Nick had out of his hands and wrote back. Handing Nick the note he quickly opened it and seen in big letters:
DON’T TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW! CAN YOU WAIT UNTIL WE GET BACK TO THE HOTEL! PLEASE!!!!
After reading that Nick started to feel bad for what he said, so he turned to look at Lisa, whose nose was stuck in the computer, he placed his hand on her chin then turned her head. Leaning in to her ear he whispered, “Baby, you can tell me whenever you want, but please don’t lie to me.”
“I wont.” Lisa promised as she met Nick’s lips and kissed then passionately. A.J noticed the scene of Nick and Lisa and only wished that it was him and Theresa, but he knew that all he can do now is write things in his journal that could hopefully change her mind, and bring her back to him. An hour passed and the plane finally landed. Theresa was the first off the plane, to prevent her of the sight of A.J. As she walked out of the gate, she noticed Freddie standing there waiting for her.
“Hi.” Theresa waved as she gave him a small hug.
“Hi, how are you?” He asked looking down at.
“Good, but lets go get my bags, cause A.J doesn’t know about me coming and he might be getting off the plane soon.” Theresa grinned, as she grabbed Freddie’s hand and pulling him to the convater belt. Grabbing her bags and the suit bag, which carried her dress in. “Let’s go.” She laughed as they left the building and towards his green Jaguar.
