“I think we need to break up.”
“You do?” Nick questioned looking at her.
“Yeah.” Lisa nodded.
“Thank God you brought it up first.” Nick chuckled a bit sitting down next to her on the bed.
“What do you mean?” She asked with a questioning look on her face.
“I’ve been wanting to break up for a while because we haven’t been well…acting as the perfect couple…” Nick trailed off looking down at his fingers.
“And we haven’t made love, and haven’t been able to spark up a conversation.” Lisa finished. Nick just nodded in agreement.
“So I guess this is it?” Nick wondered looking up to meet her chocolate brown eyes.
“Yeah.” Lisa sighed looking back into his. Nick nodded quietly standing from the bed.
“Um…well I guess I’ll see ya around Lisa.” Nick commented.
“Yeah, guess so. Bye Nick.” Lisa waved watching Nick leave the room closing the door quietly behind him.
-At the bar-
“Hey J, wanna play me in a game of pool, I bet I’ll kick you ass.” Theresa smirked wrapping her arms around his neck.
“Oh right shorty, like your gonna win against me. HA! I live for billiard.” A.J chuckled standing from bar stool.
“Yeah, right.” Theresa laughed walking away from him, swinging her hips from left to right.
“I think Theresa will beat ya to.” Stephanie chimed standing up from Kevin’s lap and walking towards the pool table.
“Nah, A.J will beat her ass.” Kevin stated following A.J. "He's never beat me."
“I doubt it.” Stephanie shrugged standing next to her short friend.
“Ok, let’s make a bet.” Kevin challenged.
“Ok.” Theresa agreed rubbing the blue chalk cube onto the top of her pool stick.
“Then, what is it?” A.J questioned grabbing a pool stick.
“If Theresa wins then…she gets whatever she wants from A.J for a whole week.” Stephanie suggested.
“And if A.J wins he gets whatever he wants from Theresa for a whole week.” Kevin smirked his arms folded over his chest.
“Hmm…sounds pretty good to me.” Theresa nodded looking at A.J. “Hun?”
“Oh, sounds terrific. This should be an interesting game.” A.J said eyeing Theresa mischievously.
“Prepare to lose.” Theresa laughed evilly.
-At the same time-
“Hailey?” Nick asked.
“Hey Nick, been a while since I talked to you.” Her innocent voice played through the ear piece of the phone.
“Yeah it has huh?” Nick chuckled lightly collapsing onto his back. “Me and Lisa broke up.” He blurted out all of a sudden.
“Oh…I’m sorry Nickers.” Hailey apologized, her voice soft.
“Don’t worry about it. Its what we both wanted. I wanted to break up with her a while back, but I didn’t get the nerve to do so. And she’s the one that blurted it out first.” Nick explained.
“Really? Well it’s coming to the millennium, I guess it is time for girls to take control.” Hailey giggled lightly. Nick laughed a bit to.
“Hey you wanna come over for a while?” Nick wondered aloud. “I could use someone to talk to, since Brian’s at the bar with the others.”
“Sure I’ll be right over.” Hailey commented. “See ya in a bit.” With that Hailey hung up the phone. Nick grinned lightly and placed the phone back on the receiver, then stood and headed into the small makeshift kitchen to fix him something to drink.
-At the bar-
“Go Theresa, go Theresa!” Stephanie cheered as she watched her best friend knock the last four balls including the number 8 ball, into all four pockets at the same time.
“You cheated!” A.J wined staring at the table in awe.
“No I didn’t babe, you just suck!” Theresa giggled kissing his nose lightly. She then whispered in his ear, “So I guess you get to do whatever I want for a WHOLE week.”
“Oh boy ain’t I lucky!” A.J chuckled, sarcastically pulling her lips to his and kissing them passionately.
“Ok you guys, cut it out.” Stephanie laughed from Kevin’s embrace.
“Yeah, PDA, PDA!” Brian yelled pointing at the two.
“Shut up Brian.” Theresa grinned arching an eyebrow at him.
“Well guys, it’s getting kinda late.” Stephanie sighed looking down at her watch. “And me and Theresa have to go get Lisa, so we can get our asses to sound check.” With that Stephanie grabbed Theresa’s hand and pulled her away from A.J.
“Bye baby!” Theresa waved to A.J as she was dragged out of the small bar.
“Bye sexy, see ya later.” A.J waved back.
-Meanwhile-
“Hey Hay.” Nick smiled as he pulled the door open. ‘Nick, stop it!’ He cursed at himself as his eyes roamed up and down her thin figure clad in blue jean flares and a bright blue knitted top.
“Hey Nick.” Hailey smiled politely walking in. Pulling her curly red hair behind her ears.
“So what have you been up to?” Nick questioned siting on his bed.
“Oh nothing, just dancing around a stage here and there.” Hailey joked sitting next to him crossing her long legs.
“Really?” Nick laughed looking at her, meeting her hazel eyes.
“Nick, why did you and Lisa break up?” Hailey questioned out of the blue.
“We wasn’t really being, I dunno, the type of couple I wish we were. You know, like you and I were.” Nick explained grabbing her hand and squeezing it lightly.
“Please Nick, don’t go into this again.” Hailey pleaded looking down at their hands.
“I cant help it Hay, I’m still in love with you, and its hard not to be.” Nick complained dropping her hand and standing in front of her.
“Nick, stop it!” Hailey snapped standing up.
“What Ha…”
“No Nick, were over. Get over it!” She stated strongly. “Yes, I did have more feeling for you. But now Nick, I just want to be your friend. Because well…I found someone else. And I don’t need this pressure.”
“I’m sorry Hailey. It’s just that I have never been able to stop loving you.” Nick sighed sitting back onto the bed placing his head into his hands.
“Oh Nick, I’m sorry. But with me being your first love, I know it will be hard for you to move on…but your gonna have to try and move on. Find some one else…”
“But it’s so hard. I had someone new!” Nick cut in as Hailey sat next to him.
“Then you two weren’t meant to be, I was talking to Theresa the other day and she was telling about one of her friends named Jennifer, that’s suppose to come from California to visit for a while.” Hailey inquired.
“I dunno.” Nick shook his head. “I think I’m gonna go on a break from dating for a while.” Nick said.
“I’d advise you do that too.” Hailey giggled making Nick chuckle a bit to.
“Thanks Hay!”
“Anytime.” Hailey said hugging Nick lightly then standing from the bed. “Well hey, I’ve gots to go. Talk with ya later.”
“Ok bye.”
“Bye.” With that Hailey left the room shutting the door behind her.
-At the same time-
“Hey Lisa! Where ya at?” Theresa yelled as she walked into Lisa’s room.
“In here, hold on! I just got out of the shower!” Her voice was muffled from the bathroom.
“Ok.” Theresa said as her and Stephanie sat on the bed. Turning on the TV Theresa flipped through the channels on the TV, stopping on channel 60, Theresa to watch one of her favorite cartoons, The Power Puff Girls. “Oh my God! I haven’t seen this cartoon since we left Orlando.”
“Oh come on Theresa. Your 18 now, you still watch this?” Stephanie asked.
“Hell ya. Look that’s us. I’m Bubbles your Buttercup and Lisa would be Blossom.” Theresa snickered.
“You have got to be kidding me.” Stephanie rolled her eyes, looking at her friend like she was some 5-year-old kindergartner when they talked about Pokemon. “Please don’t tell me you have the toys to?”
“Actually I do. I brought them on tour with me.” Theresa giggled standing from the bed.
“Are you serious?” Stephanie questioned.
“Yeppers hold on, I’ll go get them.” With that Theresa was out of the room.
“Oh Lord.” Stephanie shook her head.
“Where’d Theresa go?” Lisa asked as she came out of the bathroom dressed in a pair of gray windbreakers, and a white tank top.
“She went to her room to get her collection of Power Puff dolls.” Stephanie sighed looking at Lisa, who was now running a brush through her wet hair.
“Are you…”
“Serious? Yes.” Stephanie finished.
“Me and Nick broke up.” Lisa blurted out turning to look at Stephanie.
“You what?”
“We broke up. I told him first that I need a break from him because our relationship just wasn’t going anywhere, and come to find out he felt the same way to.” Lisa exclaimed pulling her hair into a tight ponytail.
“Oh wow.” Was all Stephanie said before Theresa bursted into the room her arms full of Power Puff dolls, color books and shirts.
“See lookie!” Theresa said dumping it onto Lisa’s newly made bed.
“Oh God Theresa, I swear your 5.” Stephanie stated looking through her things along with Lisa.
“A coloring book?” Lisa asked picking it up and looking at it.
“Yeah, when I’m bored on the bus, I go to my bunk and start coloring in it.” Theresa stated proudly as she took off her bright pink tight shirt and covered herself with a pale pink Power Puff T-shirt.
“Your crazy.” Lisa rolled her eyes.
“I’d shut up if I were you. I heard what you told Stephanie about breaking up with Nick. Your crazy.” Theresa giggled as she picked up her Bubbles stuffed doll and started dancing with it while singing ‘Crazy’ by Brittany Spears.
“Ok Theresa, you can stop now.” Stephanie laughed along with Lisa.
