‘Hold up this isn’t my room.’ Nick though to himself as he looked around the high class room with jeans, bra’s and skirts flung everywhere, then he noticed his boxers, and jeans lying on his side of the bed and his shirt by the door. ‘Oh God, don’t tell..’ He trailed off looking to his left to see a sleeping Lisa naked next to him. Her hair was strewn over her face and pillow as she lay on her stomach. ‘Fuck, fuck, fuck!’ He yelled in his mind as he slowly climbed out of bed, but then had to stop and held onto the bed so he wouldn’t fall over do to the dizziness of his hangover. Picking up his boxers and jeans he slid into them then heard Lisa start to stir.
“Nick.” She mumbled as she turned a bit to cause the white satin covers to fall off her back a bit to revile her lower back.
“Damn it what have I done?” Nick whispered to himself as he grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. Looking back at Lisa he sighed and opened the door where he ran into a short blond knocking her to the floor.
“There ya go again knocking people into the floor.” She smirked standing up and dusting off her tight straight-legged blue jeans and blue Kentucky sweater her southern drawl clearly noticeable.
“Sorry Theresa, I just…”
“Is Lisa up?” Theresa butted in working to her friend’s door.
“Um…n-no. No she isn’t she’s still asleep.” Nick stuttered blushing and looking away.
“Oh ok. Well if you see her when she gets up tell her I stopped by, please.” Theresa stated.
“Ok.” Nick replied forcing a smile on his lips as he watched her walk away.
-At the same time-
Zipping up her white bell-bottom jeans, Stephanie ran a comb through her thick black hair before slipping on her pink long sleeved stretch shirt.
“I want it that way.” Stephanie sang as she pulled on her white strappy sandals that reviled her shivery pink painted toenails. Standing up off her bed Stephanie headed across the room to spray some of her body spray on, she kept humming that familiar tune from ‘I Want it That Way’ by the Backstreet Boys. Looking herself over a couple of times in the body length mirror until she was pleased with what she saw, she headed out of her room and down the hall to Kevin’s room. Making it to his door she knocked twice and waited for someone to answer, then she heard shuffling on the other side of the door and whispering just then the door swung open to see Kevin intertwined in a white sheet with a unfamiliar blond that she didn’t know.
“Kev-in…” Stephanie trailed off looking at the sight in front of her.
“Steph…damn baby, this isn’t the way it looks.” Kevin tried to explain.
“But…but…oh God!” With that Stephanie backed away and headed down the hall with tears streaming down her face. Running down the hall Stephanie tried desperately to remember what Theresa’s room number was but couldn’t until she ran into someone knocking them to the floor.
“Damn what is this, knock down the midgets today?” Theresa joked standing up then noticed Stephanie’s tear stained face. “Oh sweetie what’s wrong?”
“Ke…Ke…Kevin slept with another woman!” Stephanie cried loudly falling into Theresa’s open arms.
“That bastard!” Theresa screamed moving Stephanie away then down the hall where she noticed Kevin step out of his room. “Who the fuck do you think you are?” She yelled getting in his face, her fingers curled tightly into a fist ready to punch Kevin right in the nose.
“Theresa…listen if Ste…” Kevin didn’t finish cause of the hard powerful punch from Theresa’s fist sending him to the ground with blood coming from the corner of his lower lip. “What the fuck Theresa!” Kevin protested wiping off the stream of blood coming from the small wound.
“THERESA!” Stephanie hollered running towards her. “What are you doing?” Stephanie asked not looking at Kevin while wiping the tears off her face.
“He doesn’t need to go sleeping with any hoe that comes his way.” Theresa frowned staring dead at Kristen directing her comment towards her.
“Listen you little shit…”
“What the hell is going on out here?” A.J groaned walking out into the hall in only a pair of backstreet boxers.
“Nothing A.J, just mind you’re…”
“Theresa, don’t tell me that. I can come out here and see what you got your bleached ass into.” A.J frowned crossing his arms over his chest, then noticed Kevin on the floor with a bloody lip, Kristen standing over him, and Stephanie’s tear-stained face next to an inflamed Theresa. “Kevin, why is Kristen here?”
“I’d rather not talk about it right now.” Kevin spat standing up then turning to look at Stephanie. “Please baby, let me just…”
“Save it Richardson, the only time you’ll ever talk to me is if its business related.” Stephanie choked out more tears falling from her eye, then turning on her heels Stephanie headed to her room and slammed the door shut.
Shaking her head sadly Theresa eyed Kevin once more then looked over at Kristen and evilly frowned at her and mouthed ‘Your dead’ before turning on her heel and walking towards A.J and grabbing him by the arm and began to pull him into his room. “Come on McLean, we have work to do.” She stated rudely slamming the door behind her.
“Kevin, look at your li…”
“Kristen, just get away from me. How could you do this? You got me drunk and fucked me when I kept telling you that I was dating someone. I suggested you leave before Theresa give you a good knocking out.” Kevin stated angrily pushing her away then heading into his room also slamming the door behind him.
-In Lisa’s room-
Sitting up in her bed Lisa yawned quietly then felt a cold breeze run across her causing her to shiver. Looking down she realized that she was completely naked and only covered by a thin silk sheet.
“Um…why am I naked?” She asked her self as she looked around the room for a trace of anybody. Just then she noticed her ripped underwear and skirt. “Oh God…” She began to shake while wrapping her sheet around body and climbing out of bed and heading to the bathroom. On the way there, she saw no trace of a condom or male underwear. ‘Could it have been Nick? Was I just being ridiculous?’ She questioned her mind dropping the sheet and turning the shower on steaming hot water then climbing in. Letting the heat flow over her and relax her sore muscles that she had guessed from last night’s go-around. As thoughts of what could have happened last night race through her head. She backed up against the shower wall shaking her head to rid herself of the terrible thoughts, until she had slid in the corner of the tub with her knees tucked under her chin crying totally terrified of what could have ever happened to her, Lisa!
-In A.J’s room-
“Go put on some clothes.” Theresa demanded looking A.J up and down then turning so he wouldn’t see her face redden.
“Ok, Queen Theresa.” A.J joked pulling on his baggy blue jeans then sitting onto his bed. “So what is that we have to work on?” He asked as he watched Theresa walk towards him and lye down on his bed.
“Listen, I really don’t want to do this, but we need a song. And you see there’s this song that me and Justin…”
“From N’SYNC right?” A.J butted in looking down at his hands. “Mmm…yeah, anyway it’s a really great song and I love it. We were suppose to sing it together but that was before me broke up.” Theresa explained flatly. “So we…”
“Um…we have a problem, Theresa.” A.J blurted out looking at Theresa.
“We?” Theresa asked holding her self up with only her elbows.
“Yeah, have you talked to Amanda?” A.J wondered.
“No, why?”
“Well cause last night…” Just then the door flew open and in came and angered Amanda.
“Theresa, you little bitch…”
“Excuse me?” Theresa said shocked sitting up on the bed.
“Who do you think you are sleeping with A.J?” Amanda asked placing one hand on her hip and the other pointing at A.J.
“Hey! I am not sleeping with him, why would you think that Amanda?” Theresa asked standing up in front of her.
“Oh yeah, what do you call this….’Oh yes Theresa!’…what’s that? You do realize Theresa, that’s what he said last night when he was fucking me!” Amanda yelled tears filling up in her eyes.
“Oh God!” Theresa gasped looking at A.J then back at Amanda. “Girl, I am not even sleeping with him, and I don’t want to. But please don’t take this out on me.” With that Theresa gave one last look at A.J who looked up at her, and all Theresa could do was roll her eyes then left the room.
“Amanda…” A.J whispered after Theresa left the room.
“Save it A.J. I think we should end this.” Amanda weeped playing with that small golden ring that A.J gave her last Christmas. Just as she looked down at the ring flashbacks of that night flashed through her like lighting.
-Flashback-
“Come on open it.” A.J pressed on as she looked down at the large box.
“Oh A.J, you didn’t need to get me anything this big.” Amanda smiled up at A.J whom was sitting Indian style right across from her on the floor, in front of the glowing Christmas tree.
“Baby, it’s for you. Trust me I know you’ll love it.” A.J smiled cupping her face in one hand. “Go on now, open it.”
“Ok, ok.” Amanda giggled as she opened the top of the box to see yet another box. “A.J…”
“Go on.” A.J smiled slyly placing his elbows on his knees his fingers intertwined together.
“Ok.” Amanda gave in as she took the other box out of the larger box and took the lid off of it, but there was yet ANOTHER box. Amanda sighed and looked back up at A.J as she continued to dig open the boxes. She had opened at least three more boxes until she came to a small ring box. “A.J…”
“Amanda just open it please.” A.J pleaded as he watched her slowly open it.
“Oh my…” She gasped at the golden ring with a small diamond on it that caught the light.
“Baby, this isn’t an engagement ring, it’s a promise ring.” A.J explained as he took the ring out of the box. “See look what it says.”
“ ‘I Promise You Panda, Always & Forever’ “ She read aloud with tears in her eyes.
“Panda, I promise to you tonight, that we’ll be married and have lots of kids together.” A.J smiled taking her hand and slipping the ring on her tiny finger.
“I love you.” Amanda whispered pulling his face to his and kissing his lips passionately.
-End of Flashback-
“Amanda.” A.J said snapping his fingers in front of her face.
“Huh what?” Amanda stuttered looking at A.J.
“I said that I was sorry and that me and Theresa…”
“A.J you have feelings for Theresa, and I can see it in your eyes every time she steps into the room. I-I don’t think I can do this anymore.” Amanda whispered.
“What? Why? Amanda please, no why?” A.J repeated his eyes beginning to blur from the tears.
“A.J were never together anymore, and with you doing your thing and becoming big, and last night I went downstairs and I had a message from Lou and he said that I had a record company interested in me. Were just growing apart.” Amanda exclaimed looking down at her hands.
“But…”
“Here.” Amanda sighed; grabbing his hand and placing her small ring into it then closing it shut. “I will always love you.” With that she left the room, away from him and out of his life forever.
“Amanda.” A.J whispered lightly as he sunk to the floor and began to cry with the ring still in his hands close to his heart.
“Lisa…” Theresa began as she walked into Lisa’s quiet room to only hear faint sniffling coming from the bathroom. ‘Oh God…’ Theresa thought while she raced to the bathroom to see a crying Lisa tucked up in the corner of the room in only her dark purple underwear set. “Oh baby, what happened?” She worried racing to her side and enveloping her into her arms.
“Theresa…I…” Lisa couldn’t finish do to her cries overtaking her body.
“Shh. Please, sweetie tell me what happened, was it Nick?” Theresa asked brushing her dark wet brown hair with her fingers trying to slightly relax her.
“No…I-I don’t know.” Lisa stuttered.
“What do you mean?” Theresa wondered her voice only above a whisper.
“See…I woke-up this morning…” She trailed off again letting her tears overpower her weak body.
“What…Lisa…what happened? Did Nick hurt you?” Theresa rambled on pulling her away so she could see her face. Lisa sat up with her legs crossed and using the back of her hand to wipe away the falling tears.
“No…I don’t know. But see this morning I woke up NAKED!” Lisa cried.
“Do you know what…”
“NO!” Lisa butted in standing up and grabbing a white robe from the bathroom self.
