~~~If You Knew What I Knew~~~
~~~~~~CHAPTER 19~~~~~~
Karen sat in the hotel's inside jacuzzi with her eyes closed. "Do you mind if I join ya?" Karen opened her eyes and saw Drew. She smiled. "Not at all. I was starting to get lonely." Drew stepped in. "Oh thats hot." Karen laughed. "You'll get used to it." Drew sat down and got comfortable. "So, Jeff flys in today, huh?" Karen smiled and nodded her head. "Yup. I can't wait to see him." "Yeah." Karen lowered eyes and looked down at the water. "So..uh..did you talk to Laura yet?" Drew shook his head. "No. She's always with Pat. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't meant to be." They were silent for a few moments. Karen decided to change the subject. "Las Vegas is awesome." Drew smiled. "I know. You ever been here before." "Nope. My first time here. It's so cool being on this tour. I get to go places I never thought I'd be." "Yeah, it is cool." Drew said with a smile. He moved closer to her and splashed her. Karen opened her mouth. "I can't believe you just did that." She said laughing. "Aww, the baby gonna cry." Drew mocked. "Thats it." Karen said and stood up and got out. She then jumped into the pool, which was next to the jacuzzi. "C'mon. You want a real water fight. Bring it on." Drew smiled and jumped in. Karen swam over to where he was and dunked his head under the water. He swam up and then started splashing her. He then grabbed her and held her. Karen closed her eyes thinking thay he was going to splash her. She opened them up when he did nothing. "Want me to dunk you?" Drew asked. "No, but your going to anyway." They both laughed. Then they were silent. They both moved closer and soon the were kissing. When Karen realized what they were doing she pulled away. "Oh God." She got out of the pool. "Karen, I'm sorry..I didn't mean t..." "It's okay..um I gotta go. Jeff will be here soon. Bye." She then left. Karen ran up to her room to get changed. Laura knocked on the door. "Karen? Is my purse in there?" Karen opened the door and pulled her in and closed it. "Well, hello to you too. Anyway, I think I left my purse in here last night. I have no..." Karen interupted Laura. "Me and Drew kissed." "...idea where it...what?" "We were down in the pull having a water fight and we kissed. I mean Drew of all people. He is one of Jeff's best friends." "Not anymore, he isn't." Karen and Laura both turned and saw Jeff standing at the door.

A remixed version of Britney Spear's "Crazy" played loudly through out the club. Brian, Elena, Danielle, Kevin, Gina and AJ all danced around the dance floor. They all decided to go out and AJ had suggested on going to a popular club in Vegas he heard about. And so they were all having fun. Brian leaned over and yelled over the music to Elena. "I'm going to get a drink. Do you want to come?" Elena nodded and took his hand as he lead them off the dance floor to the bar. "Well look who is here?" A female voice said behind Brian and Elena. They both turned after ordering their drinks. There stood a very tipsy Alison and Bill. Brian and Elena said nothing. "No hello?" Bill asked. "What are you guys doing in Vegas?" Brian asked ignoring Bill. "We are here to get married. We are actually leaving her in a few moments. I need another drink." Alison said as she started to laugh histerically. Bill thought it was funny and laughed as well. "Married?" Elena asked. "Yeah. Jealous?" Bill asked. "Why would she be?" Alison asked. "She has Brian. The God loving mamma's boy. He is the perfect male." Alison said. Brian couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or serious. "Well whatever. I don't need you anymore." Bill said to Elena. "Good. I never needed you." Alison pulled Bill's arm. "Are we going?" Bill nodded. "You're taking a cab right?" Brian asked. "No." Bill said. "What you think I can't drive?" "No you can't." Brian said. "Your to drunk. I'll take you guys back to your hotel or wherever." He said grabbing on to Alison's arm. "Hey get you arm off her." Bill yelled. He suddenly became very angry. "Look man, it's cool. I'll drive you guys." "Shut the hell up. You're not driving me no where." And before Brian could argue Bill had punched him hard in the face. He fell to the ground and was knocked out. Bill and Alison ran out of the club. Elena fell to her knees and stayed next to Brian as a crowd formed around them.

Laura and Pat decided to go get something to eat then come back to the hotel and watch a movie. Pat put in the movie then joined Laura on the bed. "So what did you get?" "Sixth Sense." Pat said smiling. "Cool." The movie started and they became silent. For some reason Laura felt angry. She couldn't figure it out. Ever since Karen had told her she kissed Drew. Laura didn't have time to ask her about it because Karen had chased Jeff down the hallyway to talk to him. Why did she care so much that they kissed? She doens't like Drew anymore. Does she? Pat nudged her her with his elbow. "You okay. You look like you're thinking about something." Laura shook her head. "Just watching the movie." Pat nodded and returned his attention back to the TV. Laura sighed. She was jealous and she knew it. The question was why?

Karen sat in silence in her room. She didn't know what to do. She tried to talk to Jeff but he slammed the door in her face and locked himself in his room all day. She felt horrable. He comes back from seeing his sick cousin and finds out about this. There was a knock on the door. She jumped up and opened it, hoping it was Jeff. "Oh Drew, hey. Look I don't think I should be seeing you now." He nodded. "I know. I just wanted to know if you guys talked yet." Karen shook her head. "I'm sorry." He said. "It's not your fault. Well not completely." "It was a mistake." "Yeah." Karen aggreed. Just then Jeff's door opened. Drew and Karen froze. Karen pulled Drew in her room and closed the door. "What are you doing?" Drew asked. "If he see's you with me he'll be even more pissed." Just then there was a knock on her door. "Karen? It's Jeff. I wanna talk." A tear fell from Karen's eye. "Oh God. What am we going to do?"
