Chapter Eleven

Brian immediately followed Nick and got him to stop running. "Nick, man what happened?" asked Brian a little confused.

"Let’s… just say I don’t .. have a girlfriend anymore.." he said in between sobs.

"Harsh" was all that Brian was able to spit out at that moment.

"I really like her Bri, if I had known you know I never would of done that I would of been there to help her. Right by her side." Replied Nick.

"Nick, I’ll help you get her back. We will don’t worry. First off we should find out who that guy was that did that to her. Come on let’s go ask AJ, he always has good advice on girls." Said Brian trying to cheer Nick up.

"Okay" he said and they headed to the car. The car ride to AJ’s was dead silence.

"Hey" said AJ who greeted the guys at the door.

"Hi, we need help." Said Brian as he entered AJ’s home.

"I’m glad you two finally came to your senses" said AJ laughing at his own joke. He stopped when he saw the look on Nick’s face. Now, AJ was having second thoughts on Nick and Jenn maybe he shouldn’t of done that. Brian and Nick sat down on the couch. Brian started to tell AJ what had happened earlier on and was interrupted. AJ told Nick and Brian the whole story about him and Justin being jealous because of Nick. When he was done AJ asked if Nick was mad.

"AJ I’m not mad at you" said Nick Brian was shocked to hear this and knew something was up.

"You mean you ain’t mad at all?"

"Nope" said Nick.

"Wow that’s great" said AJ

"No, AJ I’m furious." Said Nick as he punched AJ in the face sending him hard to the ground. Then Nick kicked him and ran out of the room.

"Who was that guy anyway?" asked Brian totally ignoring the fact that AJ was hurt.

"Justin’s friend… Alex" he stuttered.

"Oh" said Brian as he left the house.

Nick was sitting in the car. "I think it is time that we pay a visit to Justin" said Nick evilly.

"No, first I think we should go see Jenn and call up AJ and have him explain to her." Said Brian trying to keep Nick calm so he wouldn’t do anything he would regret later.

"Yeah, come on!" said Nick a little too energetically.

Brian and Nick pulled in Nick’s driveway five minutes later. They got out of the car and headed towards Jennifer’s front door. Brian knocked on the door so that she wouldn’t slam the door in their faces because of Nick. Nick was there but he was off to the side, so he wasn’t seen from the door step. "Hey Bri what’s up?" said Jenn as she greeted him at the door.

"Not much how are you doing? Do you mind if I come in?" he asked as not to let on that Nick was there.

"Sure. I’m doing okay. I could be better if you know what I am saying." She told him.

"Yeah I know but I wanted to know if you would call up AJ and ask him what he is supposed to tell you. Tell him that I told you to ask and he will know what I mean." Brian said sort of chuckling because he knew AJ was in for it when Jenn found out.

"Okay I guess" she said unsure of what she might be getting herself into.

"Hello?’ said AJ as he picked up the telephone.

"Hi, AJ this is Jenn. Brian said you had to tell me something." She replied.

"Oh…yeah…that’s right" said AJ "ummm first let me say that I am truly sorry for what I did. Well you know that guy who kissed you in the restaurant? Well, me and Justin paid him to do that and just when Nick was walking in." said AJ afraid of what the reply might be from Jenn.

"What you son of a bitch? I can’t believe you! You fucking bastard! Don’t ever show your face around me again." She screamed and then hung up the phone. She started to cry softly but tried not to let Brian notice. He got up and opened the door without letting her notice who had come back inside with him. Nick went over and put her arms around her to get her to calm down. Jenn didn’t know who it was until she saw his face. "Oh, Nick I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to do this to you." She said as she sobbed into his shoulder.

"Hush baby. I’m with you know nothing is going to happen. I have one question though, Will you go back out with me?" he asked.

"Of course I would have never dumped you if I knew what…." Her words were cut off by a soft kiss.
