"Do you remember a stripper, Alex?" Vanessa asked with roughness in her voice.
"Uh, yeah. I think I kissed her and she was all overme, but I don't remember anything else," AJ insisted. He was quiet, he hated himself for doing that!
"You didn't even have the decency to tell me what you did remember!? You told me you never slept with her!!" Vanessa yelled.
"I didn't!" AJ insisted.
"Yeah, well it sure looks like you did! You disgust me Alexander James McLean! I never wanna see you again!! How could you hurt me!!" Vanessa yelled before punching him and throwing her ring at him. She stormed out of the room and slammed the door. She looked at her friends with tears streaming down her face. They all went to comfort her, but she shrugged them off. She went right to Howie. He was AJ's best friend and would know what went on.
"Howie, did Alex kiss the stripper or go in a room with her? I have to know, Howie, please!" Vanessa said.
Howie looked at her sincerely and sighed, "Yeah, but he was so wasted, Vanessa! We told him to stop drinking, but he made us leave!! I'm so sorry." Vanessa looked at the other guys for assurance and the just nodded sadly and looked at the ground.
"I knew it!! I loved him!! He betrayed me!! No wedding!! I refuse to marry a jerk!!" she yelled before taking off down the hall to her room and slamming the door. Everyone then heard her fist connect with the wall and then they heard her cry. The girls rushed to comfort her, but she wouldn't let them in. Even Dee and Kris who'd been her best friends forever! (and always will be!!) She didn't want to see anyone!! The one true love of her life had just lied to her, how else was she supposed to act?

-----------AJ and Angel in the "lounge room"---------
"Well, I guess it's just me, you, and our baby," Angel said sidling up to AJ. He glared at her evily (Haha-that word pops up quiet frequently!) "Oh, Alex, itsn't it wonderful!! We're gonna have a baby!! This means we'll have to get married--a big church, a cream wedding since I can't truly wear white (LOL!! That's too funny!!), a big house!! It'll be great!!" she said before she planted her lips firmly on AJ's. He quickly shoved her away and wiped his hands over his lips.
"Get off me!!" he said while still wiping his lips, "There will be no wedding!! The only wedding there will be is mine and Vanessa's, but thanks to you that can no longer happen! You ruined that!! I want a paternity test!! You caused me to lose the best thing that ever happened to me!! I never told you that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, because you weren't!! In fact, you were the worst thing that ever happened to me!!" he said in disgust as she just looked at him. "You make me sick!!" he yelled before storming out of the room and slamming the door! (Lauren-I'm on the page you spilled yellow paint on!!hahaha!!)
Angel smiled wickedly. Oh, there would be a wedding!! AJ would have to marry her after he found out the baby was his!! It was the "right" thing, and he always did the "right". (haha-AJ the "badboy" doing the "right thing") Either a wedding or child support. Either way she was happy. She got a father for her child and more money!! She just had to figure out a way to make sure the results said AJ was the father, even though she knew AJ was definately not the father!

Vanessa walked into the club the night after that, with David. Kris and Dee quickly pulled her to the side.
"Vanessa, what's gotten into you!?" Dee said.
"Yeah!? David!?" Kris said.
"Guys, I'm not going back out with him. Last night, I was wandering the halls and I bumped into him. We talked and we're at least civil to each other. I just brought him to make AJ jealous," she smirked, "Oh, I see he's here with Angel!"
"Um, well, she kinda followed us here adn glued herself to him," Kris explained. Vanessa mumbled something unintelligebly (?) under her breath as she turned to lead David to the table her friends were at. Dee and Kris slowly followed behind her. This wasnt' unusual for Vanessa. She always had to get "revenge," but the girls knew she still loved Alex and that this hurt her just as badly as is hurt him. They slid in next to their men as Vanessa began introducing David to everyone.
"Who's this?" Nick whispered in Kris' ear.
"I'll explain later," she said through gritted teeth as she "smiled".
"This is Angel," Vanessa said as politely as possible Angel and David acted like they didn't know each other, but Angel winked at him knowinly.
"And this is AJ," Vanessa said quickly, "Okay, let's dance," she said as she quickly led David to the dancefloor. She didn't want anyone to notice the tears in her eyes, esp. not AJ. This was killing her!! "But I have to make AJ suffer his losses," she thought as she moved closer to David because she could feel AJ's eyes boring into her soul. It was killing her so badly! Both her and AJ died a little each time her and David moved to the beat!

"AJ, man, you need to slow down on the drinks," Kevin advised.
"I'm fine," AJ said gruffly.
"Um, 8 shots later, sure," Kevin said. (Okay, I'm not a drinker, so I guessed on the amount of drinks in this scene!)
"12," AJ corrected kinda slurry.
"12, whatever. Dude, you need to stop. Angel is all over you as it is. With you drunk, whether she's pregnant or not, you'll definately be making some mistakes tonight if you keep this up!!"
"Look, old man, leave me alone!! I'm fine!! Keep Angel off of me, but leave my drinking to me!!" AJ slurred.
"Fine," Kevin said getting irritated with the "old man" bit. (haha-I can just see the "Regis and Kathie Lee" show where Brian and AJ make fun of him!! Kris and Lauren remember that!! Remember you're confession about Nicky Kris!!)
"Fine," AJ said as he stumbled out of his seat and onto the dance floor. Dee, Brian, Shelly, and Howie were just walking off. AJ grabbed Shelly and Dee. "Dance with me, babes," he slurred as he tried to dance with both of them. They about passed out at the smell of alcohol on his breath.
"AJ, now don't go stealing our women," Howie joked as he and Brian gently took Dee and Shelly away from AJ. Howie didn't really want to make AJ mad in his state, so he "joked" about it.
"Sorry D and Bri," AJ slurred before he stumbled off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I love you," Kris whispered to Nick while they danced to "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing," by Aerosmith. ("Steven Tyler PJ's, Steven Tyler PJ's"-Pauly Shore-"Son-in-Law" Remember-Lauren!!)
"I love you too, baby!! You're so perfect. I never wanna loose you again!! Hehe, this song is fitting!!" Nick laughed.
"Aw, Nicky," Kris giggled.
"Kris, will...." Nick started before they were interrupted by a commotion going on next to the. They both turned around to see AJ in the middle of it. "AJ's drunk again," Nick said as he quickly escorted Kris off the dancefloor and away from the scuffle. Then he went to try and help get AJ under control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, missy," AJ slurred as he grabbed some unknown girl from a guys and began "trying" to dance with her.
"Hey, that's my girl!!" the guy yelled.
"Well, she's dancing with me!" AJ said as he tried to pull the girl closer before she pulled away from him.
"No, she's not!" her partner yelled before his fist connected with AJ's jaw, sending him sprawled on the floor. AJ recovered as quickly as possible, considering his state of being.
"Hey!! That was uncalled for," he slurred before trying to swing at the guy. Kevin jumped in and caught him as he passed out. Kevin threw AJ over his shoulder and nodded apologetically at the guy.
"Uh, we're really very sorry, sir. He's really drunk!" Nick tried to explain following behind Kevin. Brian and Howie searched for AJ's hat and sunglasses before gathering up the girls and ushering them quickly out the club.
"Man, I hope this doesn't ge out," Howie said.
"Yeah, or else AJ's butt is toasted by the press," Brian said.
"Our butts too," Howie said as they piled into Howie's Corvette and followed everyone in AJ's Expedition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You touch me or puke on me, and you're a dead man," Kevin warned AJ's passed out form as he crawled in bed. Kevin had to put AJ in his bed with him in order to make sure AJ didn't wake up and go galavanting off with Angel doing who knows what. Plus he had to make sure AJ didn't get alcohol posioning (?). Kevin really didn't like the idea of bunking with AJ, but there wasn't a couch for him to sleep on, and he hated sleeping on the floor. (Hurts his old bones!!Hah!! Sorry!!) Being the "older brother", he felt obligated to do it. So, Kevin slept uncomfortably on the edge of the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THUD!! "Ow!" Kevin said as he rolled of onto the floor after AJ pushed him off the bed. Kevin sighed, got up, grabbed a pillow and blanket, and resolved to finish his last 2 hours of sleep on the floor. They had to be out at the bus by 7:00 a.m. and it was 5:00, but he figured he'd sleep like everyone else on the bus, since they didn't get in until 1:30 a.m. Luckily, Angel wasn't following them, so, hopefully, there'd be no fights!
