'You look great' Ritch whispered in my ear. I smiled at him greatfuly before laying a kiss on his cheek.
'Where is everybody else?' Becky asked impetiantly. She grabbed a magazine off the rack and began flipping through the pages.
'Here come Abs, Mel and Sean' I said, seeing the 3 figures coming out the elevator.
Becky dropped the magazine and turned to their direction. I peered closely at Abs, he looked different for some reason.
'Hey mate' Sean ran over to Ritch 'Let piss the night away!'
'I will not let you get Ritchie drunk!' I warned Sean, he shot Ritchie a sympathetic look.
'Abs, what happened to your hair?' Ritch asked amused.
'I shaved it off for him' Melanie replied proudly, patting Abs's head 'You like it'
'He's bold!' I burst out laughing, Abs didn't seem to share my amusment.
'I like it' Becky spoke up 'He looks older'
'Thats what we need' Ritch mumbled 'An aged bold pop star'
'Hey!' Abs exclaimed defensively 'I was behind you when you cut of your hair'
'I didn't shave it off!'
'Same difference' Abs grumped 'Are the rest coming?'
'They should be down in a moment' I told everyone.
'You look good tonight' Sean whispered to me. I looked up at him with an warning look yet he continued smiling.
'What have you been sniffing?'
'Nothing, I just think you look dashing'
'And I think you look like shit' I told him 'I guess we don't share the same taste'
'You'll never forgive me will you?' He asked with a frown as if that would work on me.
'Nope'
'Why can't be just be friends?' He asked hopelessly 'Nothing romantic'
'Cause you're not worth my time' I replied with a mild shrug 'Who knows what other girl you may shag in the bathroom?'
'Will you just drop it?!' He exclaimed frustrated. Ritch and Abs turned to look our way.
'You'll stay out of my life and I'll think about forgiving you' I hissed.
'Its kind of hard to stay out of each other's ways'
'3 more days Sean...' I patted him on the shoulder 'After that you won't hear from me ever again'
'The feeling is mutual' He mumbled.
'I see everyone is here' Liz announced as she arrived with J, she stopped short staring at Abs. Sean walked over to his side, Liz glanced at him then back at Abs.
'Oh my God!' She exclaimed 'Its the planet of the apes!!'
'Not funny!' Abs cried out offended.
'Autumn and Scott are not here yet' Amanda spoke up.
'We all don't have to wait for them do we?' I asked. It was already 9 and I wanted to get drunk FAST.
'I'll wait for them' Amanda offered. Ritch turned to her with a hopeless look 'But I want to go out already'
'Then go' She shrugged 'I dont mind'
'You dont?'
'Then its settled' Mel clasped her hands 'Lets go!'
'Autumn wait!' Scott yelled after me. He grabbed a hold of my arm and jerked me towards him 'Please understand me!'
'Let me go!' I cried 'Just leave me alone!'
'Autumn please' He whispered, trying to soothe me.
'Leave!' I yelled louder, releasing myself from his grip 'I can't look at you!'
'You knew I loved her!' He exclaimed 'You always knew that...why is it so hard to understand?'
I turned around vigorously to face him, fat tears streaming down my cheeks.
'What I can't understand is that you kept denying it everytime I asked you. And now out of all the times you picked this one to tell me! I can't believe what a bastard you are! She doesn't even want you! Don't you see how Abs looks at her!'
'She loves me too!' Scott yelled out 'She said it last night'
'I'm sure' I hissed 'I hope she rips our heart out and steps on it like you did with mine!'
'Autumn' Scott called out, now calmer 'Please...'
'Just go!' I yelled walking into my room, slamming the door behind me before he could reply. I slid down to the floor, bringing my feet close to my chest. I put my head down and sobbed quietly.
Abs turned up the volume of the car stereo to the full blast. I sighed loudly, putting my head back. I felt a slight kick on my seat. I knew Becky wanted to get my attention. I turned back to her with a questionable look.
'Can you tell him to turn it down?' She asked.
I turned to Abs who was bopping his head to the rap song. 'Becky wants you to turn it down'
'Why?' He frowned 'This is how its going to be in the club, she has to get used to it'
'She doesn't like rap' I explained. Abs looked in the rear view mirror at Becky.
'You don't like rap?' He asked amazed.
'Not a big fan'
'Oh man!' He turned the volume down and sighed. 'You like rap right?'
I nodded silently. His hand wondered to mine, he gripped it and held on to it. I could feel Becky's eyes on us, burning through my flesh.
'See, why can't you be more like Mel?' He asked Becky.
'I don't know' I heard her reply 'Maybe cause I'm true to myself'
I knew what she meant, she couldn't put it better. Abs glanced at me confused before shrugging it off. We stopped at the red light, the silence in the car made it unbareable. I felt Abs's body shift weight, suddenly he leaned in and kissed me passionetly. I heard Becky clear her throat in the back. The light switched and we continued driving. My mind began drifting off, the conversation I had with Becky kept coming to my mind. Was it really possible to fall out of love after making love?
