(Kelly)

I paid Holly a lot of money so I could post the most! *Gloat* Just Kidding! Ok, so wanna hear if I am actually pregnant or not? Me too! Actually I don’t know how I feel about that…..Well, this is what happened……

I laid in bed with Angie in awe how a beautiful person she was in and outside. I had to admit I was kind of jealous her and Mel’s relationship and I also was selfish because at the time I wanted Angie all to myself. I still loved my Joseph very much and between him and Angie they were very important to me. I was dying to know if I was pregnant or not. One side of me said that I wasn’t and not to worry about while, the other side wanted to know if I was, so I could know the truth and get it over and done with. I sat up in bed and wrapped one of the blankets around my naked body. I made sure I didn’t disturb my beautiful angel Angie and I wandered in the bathroom. I remembered I had left the test in the kitchen so I went and got it.

It was time to know if I was or not. I wanted to do it by myself and not have anyone around when the results were in. I mean I wasn’t sure if I would cry in regret if it turned out to be positive or be excited about. I was hoping I wasn’t. Yes, there was a chance it could be Steve’s, but I was in complete denial about that. He used a condom when we slept together, sigh….so did Joey when I slept with him too. So, I mean there was no way I could be pregnant, I had them use protection. I wasn’t on the pill because it made me feel bloated and well, sick to my stomach.

I did the test and all I had to do was wait for five minutes to see if two lines meant I was pregnant and one line meant I wasn’t. I paced back and forth in the bathroom with the door closed. I once and awhile stopped and looked at myself in the mirror, wondering how all the times I had slept with both Fatones and never had to worry I was possibly being pregnant. No matter if It was positive or not……..It was Joey’s! I don’t care what any of you think…. So what I slept with Steve! It was Joey’s baby! I mean I slept with him first, even though he could have been shooting blinds at the time or the condom was a good one. I remember Steve having problems with the condom he was putting on before we had sex. He struggled with it and thought for a moment that there might have been a hole in it. He teased saying his dick was so big he had busted right through it. He then said he didn’t break the condom and he was only joking.

Funny how that joke kept bothering me through this waiting. It doesn’t matter because if I am pregnant, it’s automatically Joey’s. I can’t care! Gasped! I sat on the toilet looking at the results. I started to panic and making sure I had read the directions right. It had…..TWO LINES!!! Two……two lines meant what? I said what? I nervously read the directions. I started to cry when I realized I was ……..Pregnant. I didn’t know what I was going to do…….sniff……sniff…..Sigh. It could be Joey’s or Steve’s. I didn’t know…..No, no, no Kelly you said! You said it was Joey’s! It couldn’t be Steve! I mean look at him; he’s a fucking poser! It’s Joey! I’m pregnant! I can’t believe this! What was I going to do? What was I going tell people? Joey was going to be a daddy! I have to tell him; no I have to think about this! I have to get my mind straight and I have to make sure if I really am. I had to make an appointment with Planned Parenthood.

I walked out of the bathroom and over to the phone, making sure Angie still didn’t wake. I wiped my tears away and calm down. The phone rang and someone at Planned Parenthood answered.

"Planned Parenthood, how can I help?"

She asked

I paused for a moment as though I had no idea what to say or how to word my request.

"I need…….I need to find out if, I’m…..Pregnant. I took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive, but I don’t know if I took it right,"
I said

"We can have you come in today, let’s say 1130am?"

"Yeah, I think I can fit that in my schedule,"

I nodded

I slowly hung up and I looked over and Angie was standing there dumbfound. Unannounced to be she had over heard me as she said, "You’re pregnant?"

I stood there speechless.

======================

Hugh, the playboy owner, mansion was so huge and cool looking. Tara hit Jeremy on his arm all excited.

"Isn’t this cool?"

She asked

"I still don’t know why I am here. I mean you told me to get lost and then you make me come with you,"

"Stop your fucking bitching, this could be the break I am looking for,"
said Tara

"Well, it’s not the break I am looking for,"
said Jeremy

"Jeremy, this is the same guy that owns ‘Playgirl’ ok?"

"So, what? I mean why would I want to do a cover shot NAKED……when I am NAKED all day,"

"Well, would it matter? I mean being NAKED is a way of life for us PORN people. Besides they asked me to pose not you,"

The chaffer opened the limo door and they hopped out. They walked up to the huge red wood door.

"This is so cool,"

Said Tara in awe

"Why are we here again?"

"Gees, Fred you are still dingy after all these years, huh? Guess that’s why you didn’t pass the sixth grade,"

"I passed!"
He snapped

"Sure,’
she chuckled

"By the way, It’s Jeremy now, Frederick is my past,"

"Shut up,"

She grumbled

"What?"

Just then the butler opened the door and let them in. He didn’t say a word but just led them to den area. The house was made up with antique furniture and chandeliers.

"Don’t touch anything, Fred! If we break it we can’t afford it,"

Said Tara

"It’s Jeremy! I told you Frederick is my past, damn it!"

"Ok, calm down don’t get your small dick in a bundle,"

"It’s not small,"
he gasped

"Ok, unless you are at knee level you would have no idea. Remember I had to stare at your croaked cock for six hours on the movie set. Don’t worry, Lance’s dick is croaked too. You are not alone,"

"Shut up,"
he grumbled

Soon, Hugh walked in his signature bathrobe and a cigar in hand. He was late fifties, graying hair, pervert, and strung out on virgara. He eyed Tara up as she had to a strange feeling he was going to ask her to be his next nineteen-year-old girlfriend.

"Tara Smith?"

He asked

"Hugh Hupner,"

She said

"Sorry, I didn’t meet you at the Viper Room, but I was busy working,"

"Gosh, I wish I would work in my bathrobe all day like you,"

Said Jeremy

"Fred, you do work in your bathrobe all day, when you arent naked!"

said Tara

Hugh gave him a look, "Who this guy? Is this some side kick convention?"

"Oh, not he’s the little dick man that followed me in,"
joked Tara

"It’s not small!"

Snapped Jeremy

"It’s croaked though,"

Snickered Tara

"No, it isn’t, it only looked that way because it was laying against my thigh,"

"Excuses,"
laughed Tara

"Well, is he your friend or not?"
Asked Hugh

Tara thought about it for a few moments.

"We have business to discuss and well, if he’s an intruder, we can have him escorted out,"

Said Hugh

"Tara?"
Scolded Jeremy

"Ok, yeah I know Fred here,"
said Tara

"It’s Jeremy! Just Jeremy"

Snapped Jeremy

"Well, Just Jeremy would you excuse us? You can wait in the lobby, there is red wine out there for your waiting amusement,"
said Hugh

The butler showed him out, so there stood Tara with Hugh. He took a puff of his cigar and pulled out the paper work. He handed them to Tara as they sat at his desk.

"So you want me to pose for you for real?"

Asked Tara

"Yeah, read the contract over,"

Tara read the contract and nearly fell over when she saw the money she was going to make.

"250,000.00?"
She gasped

"Yeah,"

He nodded

"Oh my gosh! Just to bare it all? Shit, want me to get naked now?"

She smiled

He smiled and said, "Maybe we will talk later about that, Tara,"

"So, I want to be an famous actress,"

He nodded and poured her a glass of white wine.

"Famous actress, huh? You have three movies under you belt,"

He said

"Yeah, but there are just porn flicks. I want more. I want to star in a movie with Nicholas Cage or someone else,"

"More? Hmmm, in this business of movies you must know someone to do that,"

"Well, I need to know all the right people, I know you,"

He snickered at her comment, "Try to butter me up after the cover is published ok?"

She suddenly, got up and walked over to him. She sat on his lap and rubbed his private area.

"I can make it worth your wild,"

She said in a sexy voice

"Oh, really?"

"Yes,"

She slipped down in between his legs and lifted up his bathrobe and proceeded to give him a blowjob. He sat back and enjoyed the blow as Tara pretended she was giving Lance a blow instead. She was willing to do whatever she could to make it big, even if she had to sleep with certain people to get it.

====================

Richard drove Josh, Justin, and Joey to the dance studio. Richard was thinking about telling Josh about truth about Neva and Adrea. Josh of course was still thinking about the night before events with Sierra. He was still regretting hurting her the way he did, but he knew by going to Europe it would hurt her more, if he stayed with her. They to him, were still together no matter what, it was only ‘A Break’ they were on, so they could move on with their lives as is and rethink everything. Joey looked over at Josh, as he knew ever since they got in the car he was very quiet, his dad noticed that too.

"What’s up Josh?"
Asked Joey

Josh slowly looked back at his friend sadly and sighed, "Nothing much,"

"You sure?"

Josh looked over at his dad as he listened. He didn’t want his dad to know about his problems yet, have Justin, his revival knew about the relationship problem.

"Yea, everything is fine,"

Said Josh

Joey nodded as he knew things weren’t right and he would soon know what the problem was when they were alone.

"So, what’s on today’s list?"

Asked Richard

"Interview with the local news station,"

Said Justin

"Really?"

"Yeah, so we are back in make up again,"

Josh knew he would be seeing Sable again and he wanted to tell her what he did to his love. He knew he could talk to her and not get any grief about it, compared to Joey reading him the riot it act. They pulled in the parking lot of the studio and got out. Josh looked over at his dad before closing the passenger side door.

"So, what were out so late for last night?"
Asked Josh

His dad looked at him all surprised as Richard flashed back to going to the Cruzs to try to plead one last time to tell his lost daughter and granddaughter the truth.

"I stopped for a quick drink at the bar,"
lied Rich

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? Isn’t your old man entitled to a drink here and there?"

"I guess so,"

Shrugged Josh

"You ok?"

"Yea, why you ask?"

"You seem down, like there is something wrong. You mom said you weren’t on the phone with Sierra too late, last night like you always are,"

"She had lot of studying to do, and of course I have my career,"
he said sadly

"You say that so sad, J,"

"I’m fine, just remember to pick us up from the news station at 3pm,"

"Yes, Son,"

Josh closed the door and started his way into the studio. He walked with his head down still sadness by saying what he did to Sierra.He wasn’t paying attention to where he was going and boomed head first into Lance. He looked up and was surprised to see Mo had dropped Lance off. I guess this relationship was getting pretty serious as they were in arm and arm outside the car.

"Hey, J,"

Smiled Mo

"Monique,"

Josh gave her a fake smile

"Ready for the big news interview"
asked Lance

"Yeah, so ready,"

He sighed

Josh nodded at Mo once again and walked into the studio where the rest of the guys were. He sat down next to Joey and started to do his stretches.

"So, what is really wrong?"

Asked Joey

"Nothing Jo,"

"You sure?"

"Yes, Jo,"

Said Josh kind of snappish

"Ok, no need to get stankin’ about it,"

"I wasn’t trying to be ok? I’m just not a morning person,"

Justin looked over and asked, "So, how’s Sierra?"

Josh glared at him and asked, "Why?"

"Gees, I was just asking. I guess you’re not a morning person after all,"

Said Justin

Justin got up and walked out to get something to drink from the vending machine. Chris walked in and happily said, "I know what I want to do with our first million,"

"What’s that, Chris?"

Asked Joey

"Start my own clothing line,’

Josh and Joey looked at each other assuming Chris was telling one of his jokes and burst out laughing. Chris stood there dumbfounded.

"What’s so funny?"

Asked Chris

Joey and Josh saw he was serious.

"Oh, you’re for real. My fault,"

Joey cleared his throat.

"Yeah, I want to start my own shit,"
sad Chris

"Why?"

Asked Josh

"That’s like asking why do I get up in the morning,"
said Chris

"No, for real why?"

"Because I want to that’s why,"

Snapped Chris

"Gees, another morning person! Are you guys going to be like this when we are on tour?"

Asked Joey

"I’m going to call my clothing line Fuman Skeeto as in hair weave,"

Said Chris

Josh and Joey looked at each other again thinking Chris was telling a joke and started to laugh. Chris sat next to them and gave them a look.

"Oh, you’re for real again, sorry,"
said Joey clearing his throat

"Never laugh at people’s dreams, especially people like me that are on Prozac,"

Said Chris

Lance walked in and Chris started in right away.

"Hey, Cowboy! Did you park the horse in front of the building this time,’

Joked Chris

"No, I parked yo momma there instead,"

Said Lance

"ooooooooooooooooh!"

Said Joey and Josh

"Good come back,"

Nodded Chris

"That’s from hanging out with Monique,"

Joked Joey

"Turning black on us already? Gees, if I didn’t know any better, you might just be,"
started Chris

"No, Chris don’t say it,"
gasped Joey

"No, Jo I have to!"

"No, don’t I beg of you! For the children’s sake,"

Teased Joey

"He might just be cool after all,"

Said Chris

"Bad, Chris, bad,"

Gasped Joey

Justin walked in with the dance instructor. Chris yelled loudly, "Choreographer’s pet!"

The guys snickered and it was soon time to get ready to dance. Josh took a deep breath and got into position still thinking deeply about Sierra. It was true; he couldn’t live without her.

"1,2,3,4,"

Started the instructor.

====================

Sierra slowly got ready for school. She noticed I didn’t come last night and wondered if I was ok. She still couldn’t believe it was over between her and Joshua, even if he said it was only a break. She walked to her Black History class and remembered they had a pop quiz and well, she didn’t have a chance to study because she was too upset about Josh.

She knew if, she took the quiz she would flunk it. She slipped down to the floor in the hallway next to the class and waited for the professor to show up. Other peers of hers sat and stood as they waited too. Sierra opened up her wallet and stared at Josh’s senior picture. At that point she didn’t care if she passed or fail the test. She just wanted Josh back. Jessica sat next to her all of sudden. She quickly put the picture away but Jessi had already seen it.

"So, did he call you?"

Asked Jessica

"No,"

She sighed sadly

It was true the answer machine had accidentally erased Josh’s message from the night before.

"Well, he might call you today,"
she said

"He promise he would,"
said sierra

"Well, then he will,"

Jessica hoped Josh wouldn’t so she could get her away from him and shove her into Wade’s face. Wade came down the hallway and immediately Jessica winked at him that everything was going as planned. He shied away as he never asked her to set him up. He saw how sad Sierra was. Mr. Chuku came down the hall way with revenges with his mean walking stick. All students that were sitting on the floor stood up quickly to avoid being hit with the stick or walked on. Kai and Adrea came down the hallway walking very close together. Sierra looked over at them and couldn’t believe her friend was messing around behind Justin’s back. They walked in class and sat. Sierra sighed as she stared down at her textbooks. Kai tapped her on her shoulder.

"Ready for the quiz?"

He asked

"You know she has a man right? I mean you saw him last week with her,"
said Sierra

Kai grew silent for a moment and then changed the subject back.

"Are you ready?"

He asked

"They have a baby together,"

He was disappointed how she turned the subject around on him. He nodded, "I know that,"

"Then what are you doing?"

"MS. GONZALEZ, IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE REST OF US!"

Snapped Chuku

Sierra jumped in her chair as she turned back around quickly. Besides screaming at her he had slammed his walking stick down on his desk violently. Everyone jumped when he did that.

"I’m waiting for your answer, Ms. Gonzalez,"

He demanded

She looked around at everyone in class and they all shied away from her. She wasn’t going to get any help out of her peers.

"Ah-ah,"

She started

"Ah-Ah? What does that mean? Is that a Black History term?"

"No, I guess not,"

She said nervously

"So, is there?"

She looked at him confused, "Is there what?"

"Anything you and Malakai would like to share with the rest of us?"

She looked back at Kai and he looked down at his textbooks, he wasn’t going to get involved.

"MS. GONZALEZ! HEY! I’M UP HERE! I’M NOT IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM!"

Snapped Chuku

Sierra turned to the front and said quietly, "No, Sir,"

"Then I suggest you keep your chit-chat after class,"

She sunk in her chair all embarrassed ready to cry. She was all-emotional as it was and now Chuku embarrassing her had topped it. She held in her tears tightly as she stared down at her textbook. Chuku paced back and forth with walking stick in hand trying to think of something evil he could say to the class.

"Today is a pop QUIZ!"

He announced

Everyone sighed in class. He stopped pacing and said smartly, "Don’t be so happy,"

Some of the students snickered including Jessi and Wade. He pointed to his class with the stick causing the students sitting in front to duck.

"But! BUT!"

He started

"But what?"
Mumbled Kai

"But, to my disappointMENT!"

He started

"What is he screaming about?"

Mumbled Jessica

"He’s trying to get his point across, I guess,"

Shrugged Wade

"Well, he’s doing a great job with the stick, don’t you think?"
She snickered

"I left it……….at my home,"

Said Chuku

Several students in class talked among themselves with snickers of joy. He glared at his class like he was hoping to ruin their day by issuing the hardest and unpassable quiz ever. He gave them an evil smile and swung his stick side to side, causing students to duck again.

"The…….QUIZ……..is to be taking……..TOMORROW!"

He snapped

He slowly walked back to his desk and started to discuss today’s topic in Black History, by calling on his favorite target.

"MS. GONZALEZ!"

He announced

"What’s with the yelling, gees,"

Mumbled Kai

Sierra snickered and stopped when Chuku glared at her. He was ready to toss her into the fire with the ultimate question.

"Who is………….Marcus……..Garvey?"

He asked

He said it with such a smirk, as he knew she would never get the answer right and give him a reason to embarrass her again. Sierra quickly looked over at Wade. Wade looked over at her because they had discussed this Marcus guy in tutoring. She knew this answer, man! It was at the tip of her tongue, so was uttering ‘I miss Josh!’ she didn’t say the Josh thing as it wasn’t the answer! Think Sierra! Wade nodded at her and it was the first time he didn’t ‘Pssh’ her or give her a look. He waited for her to show Chuku she knew who Marcus was. Sierra cleared her throat and looked at the teacher.

"We are waiting Ms. Gonzalez,"

Said Chuku

"Marcus Garvey was a black leader who started a "Back-to-Africa" movement in the United States,"

Said Sierra

Chuku was so surprised she even knew that. He took a few moments to get his thoughts together, he thought he was going to throw a couple insults her way. She blew him out of the water with that one. He decided tried to stab her in the back farther. Everyone knew who Marcus Garvey was, but did she know……..

"What did he stand for?"

he asked

Sierra sat up straight and cleared her throat. The class waited.

"Ms. Gonzalez,"

He smirked

Sierra thought about what Wade schooled her about and then said, "Garvey believed that blacks would never receive justice in countries where most of the people were white. He preached that blacks should consider Africa their homeland and that they should settle there,"

Chuku nodded because he was impressed. Wade snickered as finally Chuku had met his match.

"Ms. Cruz, where was Marcus born?"

Asked Chuku

Adrea wasn’t expecting to be called on so she raced her textbooks.

"YOU DIDN’T STUDY!"

He snapped

She put her finger up and said, "Wait a minute, I know this one,"

"Too LATE! The bridge just fell down! Ms. Fatone, where was Marcus born?"

He asked

Jessica looked back at Wade and he shrugged.

"Lair, you know,"

She whispered

Wade snickered, "Where was he born, kid?"

"Ms. FATONE!!!"

Scolded Chuku

"Gees, someone’s a little hyper this morning huh?"

She mumbled

"Wrong answer! Let’s see if Ms. GONZALEZ……..Knows this one! Well, where was he born as long as you know so MUCH!"

Sierra remembered the penny and what Wade said. She looked up and cleared her throat.

"Garvey was born in Jamaica. He began his movement there in 1914 and brought it to the United States in 1916, when he moved to New York City,"

Chuku rubbed the top of his walking stick on his chin as he had been out smarted by his worst student, Ms. Gonzalez.

"Correct, how many followers did he have?"

Sierra was stumped on that one. She had no idea, she knew but forgot. Kai whispered the answer behind her.

"Two Million,"

He muttered

"Ms. Gonzalez, how many followers?"
Paced Chuku

"Two Million,"

She announced

He nodded, as once again he was impressed.

"That is ……….correct,"

He pointed his walking stick at her.

Sierra felt pretty good about herself, she had won her battle with the anti-Christ. She looked over at Wade and with a plain look he did a simple nod her way.

"Good going, kid,"

Whispered Kai behind her.

He patted her on her back and she smiled. At least one thing was going good that day.

======================

2of10

(Josh)

Kelly walked in Planned Parenthood with Angie. Kelly was so nervous and prayed that she had taken the test wrong and she wasn’t pregnant after all. Angie rubbed Kelly on her back to comfort her. She walked up to the receptionist desk.

"May I help you?"

Asked the receptionist

"I have an appointment,"

Said Kelly

The receptionist handed her a clipboard and said, "Fill out the paper work and bring it back up to me. The nurse will call you when it’s turn,"

Kelly nodded and sat with Angie as she filled out the paperwork.

"Well, at least you will know the truth,"

Said Angie

"I hope it’s not true,"

"Can I ask if something?"

Asked Angie

"Yeah,"

"Did you sleep with Steve for real?"

"Yeah, but I know he didn’t get me pregnant. I made him use protection,"

"Did Joey?"

"Use protection?"

"Yeah,"

Angie put her arm around her as other people there looked on and realized they were a couple.

"Yes,"

Mumbled Kelly

"So, what Joey and Steve both used a condom?"

"Yeah,"

"Then it has to be mine,"

Joked Angie

"Very funny,"

"I mean we don’t use protection,"

Smiled Angie

"Can we get serious for a moment, please?"

"Sorry, but I couldn’t help myself,"

"Well, is it possible I could have still gotten pregnant, you know by Joey,"

"It could be Steve’s too,"

"No, no it’s not his,"

Chuckled Kelly

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because it’s not Steve’s,"

"Yeah, but it could be,"

"It’s not his,"

Scolded Kelly

Angie pulled away and got all defensive, "Sorry,"

"It’s not his Angie,"

"Ok, fine. Look I’m going to the restroom I will be right back,"

Said Angie

Kelly nodded as she continued with her paperwork. Angie walked into the hallway and bumped into Heidi, Wade’s ex-girlfriend of two seconds. They were both surprised to see if other there.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Asked Heidi

"Oh, I’m here because I think Melissa got me pregnant,"

Joked Angie

"Hah-ha! Very funny, seriously why are you here?"

"Gosh, Heidi dearest you’re nosy today,"

"Well?"

Asked Heidi

"I’m here to support a friend,"

"Who?"

Asked Heidi

"Damn, you are nosy,"

Heidi nodded quickly, "Yeah, yeah so who is it?"

"You don’t know her ok,"

"Give me a name, toss me a bone here,"

"Gees, it’s no one you know,"

"Fine,"

Sighed Heidi

"So, what are you here for?"

"Well, it’s my six month check up, if you know what I mean,"

"Oh, I know it’s the time of year you hate the most,"

"Yeah, time to feel validated,"

"I know, get naked and put your feet in the stirrups,"

Mocked Angie

"Well, I better get it over and done with,"

Sighed Heidi

"Yeah, so can I ask yah something,"

Asked Angie

"Yeah, what?"

"So, there is a rumor going around that Tawanna and Wade are together,’

"Tawanna and Wade? Pluh – lease! She wishes she was with him. You know how she is all on his jock and shit,"

"Yeah, but is it true?"

"No, girl of course not and when that rumor gets back to ole’ Wade, he’s going to kick her ass for spreading it around,"

Said Heidi

"She likes him a lot and he never gave her any play,’

"That’s what happens when there is a night one stand and a several beers are involved,’
snickered Heidi

"Dang that was last year at the frat party and she still be all over him and he’s just being nice to her because he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings,"

"Yeah, that’s Wade for yah, don’t wanna a relationship but wants to be nice to chicks that actually like him, like him,"

Angie excused herself to go the bathroom and Heidi walked into the office. Heidi looked over and saw Kelly sitting there. She gasped as the site of Kelly. She remembered how Jessica wanted to kick Kelly’s ass. She wondered if Angie was there with her. Heidi had to find out why Kelly was there.

Kelly saw her and knew Heidi was friends of Jessica and she might be there just to fuck with her. Kelly grew uncomfortable.

"Hey, Kelly,"

Heidi had a fake smile

"Hi,"

Said Kelly all shaky

"So, how’s life?"

Kelly knew Heidi didn’t like her because of all the shit that Jessica told her. Kelly shied away as she looked down at her clipboard and covered it with her hand so she couldn’t see what her profile was all about.

"So, what are you here for?"

Asked Heidi all nosy

"Six month….thing,"

Lied Kelly

"Oh, me too,"

Heidi sat next to her on persist just to make Kelly nervous. It was working as Kelly stood up and walked back to the nurse’s station to hand in her paper work. Kelly turned back to see if Heidi had moved to another seat, but didn’t. In fact she was on her cell phone calling someone, probably Jessica to get her ass down there to kick Kelly’s ass. Kelly went back to her seat all-nervous as she tried to listen to what Heidi was talking about. Angie walked back in and Kelly was in delighted because at least she had a supporter. Angie sat between and Heidi and Kelly. Heidi gave her the eye as she heard by Jessica that Kelly and Angie had fooled around. She hung up her cell and turned to them.

"So, how’s it going?"

Winked Heidi

"You know I have a friend back home you remind me of. Her name is Ruthy,"

Said Kelly

"Does she had blonde hair like me?"

"No, you guys just act a lot,"

Kelly meant that Heidi was just as nosy as Ruthy.

"Ruthy married my friend Todd and they are in Japan,"

Said Kelly

"Oh, that’s cool, so he’s chinaman?"

"No, he’s in the military,’

Said Kelly

There was a long silent until the nurse came out of and announced the first patient. She looked down at the paperwork and gave the patients a look.

"Um, Jackie……..Kennedy?"

Asked the nurse

It was obviously someone gave a fake name because they were a shame to be there. All the patients in the waiting room looked around. Angie looked over at Kelly as she sat there with head down.

"Tell me you didn’t?"

Asked Angie

Kelly cracked a smile and slowly stood up.

"That’s…..um…….I’m Mrs. Kennedy,"

Chuckled Kelly

"Well, Jackie you’re up first,"

Snickered the nurse

Kelly walked in the doctor’s room for her appointment. Heidi looked over at Angie, "Jackie Kennedy?"

"Don’t ask me, I didn’t tell her to use a fake name,"

Said Angie

"So, what is she here for?"

Beamed Heidi

"Heidi isn’t being nosy the reason why Wade dumped you in the first place?"

"No,"

Snapped Heidi

Heidi stopped asking as she sat there insulted by Angie’s comment.

================

We got a break in between the dance practice. I stood out in the hallway and I smoked a cigarette. Yeah, I stressed over the Sierra thing and I needed to smoke it out. I only smoked when I was nervous. I paced the hallway as I could hear Chris joking about Lance and his Clinton Cow stories. I didn’t have the patiences to deal with Chris’ humor. Joey walked out in the hallway to see where I was. He saw me pacing and walked over. I sighed, as I knew he wanted to be the best friend he was and get what was bothering me out.

"So, what is really going on?"

He asked

"Nothing,"
I lied

"So, I have to kick your ass to get it out of you?"

He teased

"Jo, I’m not in the mood,"

"Well, ok let’s see you’re smoking and thinking really hard about something…..So it’s about Sierra isn’t it? Are you missing her, is your dick getting hard every once and awhile calling her pussy’s name?"

"Jo, please,"
I grumbled

"Gees, don’t get mad at me because you miss her. I miss Kell too,"

"Yeah, but at least I know she loves me back,"

"What does that mean? Kelly loves me,"
said Joey

"Nothing, Jo,"
I sighed

I continued to pace back and forth smoking my cigarette like there was no tomorrow.

"So, how did she take it when you said you couldn’t go see her before we leave for Europe?"

He asked

I stopped pacing and took a deep puff of my cigarette. I held it in and soon exhaled.

"She snapped,"
I nodded

"So, you smooth it over with a nice poem, J?"

"No,"

I started to pace again.

"Keep walking and you are going to burn a hole in the carpet,"

He teased

I stopped pacing and sighed, "Oh, Jo! What am I doing? I’m such a dumbass,"

"No, Ju is the dumbass……remember there’s no relation,"

Teased Joey

"Ok, are you going to get serious or you going to crack jokes the rest of the evening,"

"Gees, J calm down,"

"Well, you wanna know what my problem is and you are cracking fuckng jokes,"

I snapped

"Ok, what’s going on J?"

"Me! That’s what’s going on,"

"Explain,"

"I told her……..After she …..Well, she down my career and well, that pissed me off. So I hung up on her,"

"And then what happened?"

"Because I’m love sick when it comes to her,"

I started

"Pussy whipped, so you are you called her back?"

"I’m not pussy whipped,"
I grumbled

"Keep going, J,"

"Well, …..I was pissed ok? I wasn’t thinking right, plus I was watching David Letterman and well, I wasn’t listening to what I was saying,"

"Was it when Halle Berry was on?"

"Yeah, her beautiful ass, made me say something stupid to Sierra,"

"Halle Berry does that to me too,"

"I told her I needed……we ……needed ‘A Break’,"

I sighed

Joey gave me a confused look, "A Break? What’s a break? Like call me back because I’m hungry……that kind of break?"

"No,"

"Call me back…….after Halle Berry is done with her interview …..That kind of break?"

"No, see Jo I was thinking……….Sierra was right. I shouldn’t be saying I am coming to see her and I cant, because of the stupid schedules,"

"So, um,"

"I shouldn’t be hurting her and well, she was really crying and it broke my heart and ……….I don’t wanna be a burden to her when we are on tour in Europe…..So I said we should take ‘A Break’,"

"So, you dumped her?"

Asked Joey

"No, no I didn’t dump her. We are still together, it’s just ‘A Break’,"

I explained

"I don’t get it,"

" ‘A Break’ so we can get our thoughts together,"

"Josh, it makes no sense,"

"Yes it does!"
I snapped

Joey gave me a look and walked away like I was crazy, "O-kay,"

"Jo, it’s just ‘ A Break’, we are still together,"

"O-kay,"

He snickered

I sighed and walked out to get some fresh air. Little to my knowledge Justin, the sneak, had overheard Jo’s conversation and me. The little hamsters in his pea brain head were running around coming up with a plan to get Sierra at this point of emotion. It was a prefect to swoop down and grab Sierra away from me. He nodded and evil grin, ‘Thank you, Josh," he said to himself.

==============

‘I’m like a Bird’ by Nelly Furtado

You’re beautiful, that’s for sure
You’ll never ever fade
You’re lovely, but it’s not for sure
That I won’t ever change

Sierra walked into the tutoring department looked to see who was in. She saw Kai and Wade were, but it was fade before the only one she could see at that point was Wade. He didn’t even have a person he was tutoring. Sierra slowly walked over to his cubical and at first he didn’t see her as he had his head in one of textbooks studying. He often went to the tutoring department even if he had no clients just so he had peace and quiet and every now and then if he had a tutor he would help out. She knocked on the opening of the cubical and he looked up. He nearly fell over when he saw her. He shoved his paperwork around nervously trying to make room for her to sit.

SONG:

And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

"Wassup?"

He asked nervously

"I just……I just came by to say (paused – swallowed hard) thank you,"

She said

He gave her a look and asked, "What do you mean?"

"About Marcus Garvey?"

Wade blushed and smiled, "You answered the question correctly not me,"

"Yeah, but you helped, just wanted to say thanks,"

She was ready to walk out when he nervously said, "You’re……um…..Welcome,"

SONG:

I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is
I don’t know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away

He sat back in his chair and took a sigh of relief. Because everytime she entered a room where he was he clamed up and felt like he couldn’t breath. He then smiled as himself that he felt like he was making a break through with her. He leaned his chair back on the heels of it and nodded. Suddenly she walked back in to ask himself something. He lost his balance on the chair and fell on his ass. She snickered as he jumped up quickly all embarrassed.

"Hey…..Kid,"

He said all nervous

"You ok?"

‘Yeah, I meant to do that,"

He blushed

She nodded and bit her lip trying not to laugh. His face grew red, as he couldn’t even make eye contact with her.

"So, um wassup girl?’

He asked

"I was wondering if you could help me with something,"

She said

He looked at her body and wanted to help her take her clothes off so he could climb on top of her .He caught himself drooling as his ruff neck image had crippled right in front of her. He put his hands in his jean pockets and smiled.

"Sure, what do you need?"

He asked

"I have a question about Rosa Parks,"

"Ok,"

He giggled

He nodded and walked back to the chair he fell out of and pulled it back to its’ feet. Kai walked over as he heard all the commotion from his cubical next to him. He saw Sierra had entered Wade’s life and turned it upside down literally.

"You ok, Wade?"

Asked Kai

Wade looked over and put his gangster image back on, so he didn’t wanna look like a punk in front of his friend.

"Yeah, everything coo, cous,"

Said Wade

"I heard a big boom,"

"Ah….um…..The chair fell over,"

Blushed Wade

Sierra bit her lip trying not to laugh again, as she knew the truth about what happened.

"How did it fall over?"

Asked Kai

"Um…..um…….(shrugged)…..So what do you want?"

Asked Wade

"You got class in five minutes,"

SONG:

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years………

And it pains me so much to tell
That you don’t know me that well

Wade placed his hand on his head in confusion and ran around getting his things together.

"Shit, man I almost forgot about dance class,"

Said Wade

"Dance class?"

Asked Sierra

"Yeah, Wade’s a ballerina during his off days,"

Teased Kai

Wade gave Kai a look for embarrassing him forth with Sierra. He was trying to be cool damn it! Even if he fell off his chair in front of her.

"His major is choreography,"

Smiled Kai

"Yeah, Jess told me,"

Smiled Sierra

Her smile melted Wade’s heart as he blushed and looked away trying not to smile. Wade grabbed his backpack and ran out. He then ran back over and snapped his fingers trying to remember what he was going to say.

"Um…..I’m sorry, I can’t tutor you, Sierra, but Kai? Could you tell Sierra about Rosa Parks for me? I mean I would but,"

Said Wade

"Yeah, sure go get into your tights. I will school Si,"

Smiled Kai

"I don’t wear tights, kid,"
snapped Wade

Sierra and Kai snickered as Wade ignored them as he ran out to his dance class. Kai escorted Sierra into his cubical.

SONG:

And though my love is rare
Though my love is true…….

It’s not that I wanna say goodbye
It’s just that every time you try
To tell me, me that you love me

"So, Ms. Gonzalez……who’s MARCUS…..Garvey?"

Kai mocked Mr. Chuku

"Don’t start,"

Giggled Sierra

"You told him huh? He was salty,"

"Yeah, but now the quiz is tomorrow,’

"Yeah, you ready?"

"No,"

She sighed

"Yeah, um sorry about you and your man. Adrea told me what happened,"

Said Kai

Sierra smiled trying to hold in her tears.

"Well, I …….um……everything is ok,"

She said unsure

"Well, I’m sure y’all get back together. I mean you have been together for over a year, and you love each other so,"

Sierra’s eyes started to water as she looked away all uncomfortable.

SONG:

Each and every single day I know
I’m going to have to eventually give you away

And though my love is rare……..

"Look can we just do the studying?"

She asked

"Yeah, sure Cous,"

He flipped his book open.

"So, Rosa Parks,"

He muttered

She nodded, as all she could think about was Josh. She been running around trying to bring her grades up so she didn’t flunk out and it kept her mind off of him, but when Kai brought it up to her, she all she could worry about was her relationship problems.

SONG FADES:

And though my love is true, yeah
Hey I’m just scared
That we may fall through
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is
I don’t know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is…………….

I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away

==================

Jessica sat in the library trying to study, but was fallen asleep instead. Bilal was also in there studying about the human heart for his biology class. He hadn’t had a chance to tell Jessica about he had fallen for her. He slowly approached the sleeping Mafia princess. He slipped into the seat next to her causing her to wake.

"Hey, Kid,"

She sighed

"Man, up late last night?"

"Yeah, had a nice dream that I killed Kelly. When I realized that didn’t happen for real, well, I was up all night depressed about it,"

Bilal smiled and nodded, "So, I was up last night too,"

She looked at him and saw the book in his hand he was planning on checking out.

"Human heart, huh?"

She asked

"Yeah, for my class. It’s very interesting how the body actually works, wanna see what the inside of your heart looks like?"

"Yew! No!"
She squealed

"Sorry,"

He sighed

"You’re all coo, believe me Bilal, but when it comes to your major….you know being obsessed on cutting dead people up…..It’s gets kind of freaky,"

"I got the internship at the county morgue,"

He smiled

"Lovely,"

She said giving him a look

"So, um I was meaning to talk to her about something,"

Just then Tawanna, the Wade Robson fan walked over. She slipped into a chair across from them at the same table. Bilal gave Tawanna a look as he had been waiting to tell Jessica how he felt for a very long time, but something or someone always interrupted him.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Asked Tawanna

"No!"

Snapped Bilal

Jessica and Tawanna gave him a look.

"Calm down, Bilal,"

Giggled Jessica

"But, anyway pssh!"

Said Tawanna

"My gosh you’re even talking like him now,"
said Jessica

"Like who?’

She asked

"Wade,"

Said Jessica

"That’s what I wanted to talk to you about,"

She smiled

"What’s the question?"

"So, I called him last night, girl,"

"This must have been after he left my place last night,"

Said Jessica

Tawanna found Jessica as not a threat against her goal of getting Wade. She knew they were just best friends.

"Anyway, I talked to him and well, I am pretty sure we going to hook up,"

Explained Tawanna

Jessica and Bilal’s eyes widen, as they knew Wade didn’t like her that way. Remember he was only being nice to her.

"Really?"

Asked Jessica

"Yeah, girl he couldn’t talk long because he needed to study,"

Jessica smirked, as he knew Wade had lied to get off the phone with her. Wade had studied at Jessi’s place before watching the movie ‘Good Well Hunting’.

"Uh-huh, girl,"

Smirked Jessica

"Well, that bitch, the light skinned girl,"

Said Tawanna

"Who? Sierra?"

Asked Bilal

"Yeah, she’s stuck up, anyway, I know she is trying to take my man away, but I ain’t having that see. So, I thought before I smack that bitch down, that you could tell her Wade’s taken,"

Said Tawanna

Jessica bit her lip not to laugh. Bilal put his book to the side, as it was time to school Tawanna about her so called fantasy of Wade.

"Tawanna, baby listen girl,"

Started Bilal

"Yeah?"

Asked Tawanna

"I know you got the feeling the favor of a Waders, but he ain’t….well, Jessica maybe you can explain,"

Said Bilal

Jessica took a deep breath and didn’t want to break the girl’s heart, but she was getting tired of her claiming Wade as her man and spreading rumors just so girls would not to talk him. Tawanna was even jealous of his friends that were girls.

"Tawanna, look um…….Wade isn’t……interested,"

Said Jessica

Tawanna nodded and thought for a moment.

"Then I don’t have to worry about it. That’s what you are saying?"

Asked Tawanna

Bilal and Jessica gave her a look.

"Huh?"

Asked Jessica

"He’s not interested in that light skinned girl, that’s what you are saying,"

Said Tawanna

"No, actually he’s not interest in you. I know it’s hard to take in, but he sees you as a friend,"

Tawanna took another few moments to think but this time was insulted.

"You don’t know what is going on with me and him that’s all. We talk on the phone every night, he talks to me when he sees me,"

She explained

"Honey, he talks to everyone. That’s how Wade is,"

Said Jessica

Tawanna didn’t want to believe it as she stood up. She didn’t want to hear anymore about it. She gathered her things and walked away.

"Tawanna, he likes you only as a friend,"

Yelled Jessica

Tawanna didn’t listen as she walked out of the library. Jessica looked over at Bilal and snickered.

"Looks like Wade has a Glenn Close on his hands, huh?"

Asked Jessica

"Yeah, anyway look. I needed to tell you something,"
said Bilal

Jessica suddenly looked at her watched and started to put her stuff in her backpack to go.

"Oh, Bilal I’m late for my Design Class,"

She said

"Can I just tell yah something?"

"Call me later and tell me ok?"

He suddenly kissed her passionately. When he was done he pulled away and waited for her reaction.

"Wow, Tiger you kinda caught me off guard,"

She winked

He blushed, "I wanted to talk to you about us,"

"Well, someone is feeling naughty, huh?"
She pointed

"Um, well see,"

"Look, come over later we will play then. I have to go, and you bring over the ribbons you have later too. I can tie up you like you like and spank you ok?"

He laughed at her and tried to kiss her again, but she rushed of the library leaving him hanging. He sighed and sunk in his chair.

"I will never get a chance to tell her how I feel,"

He mumbled to himself.

3of10

(WADE)

*Wassup, Yo? Yeah, it’s time for Wade to bust this out for yah! I haven’t told a story….not sure how to even do it, but you know…….let me tell you it my way…

(Patting hand on chest and giving quick wink)……ok, so let’s get my favorite song to do the intro…….

‘What’s Luv’ by Fat Joe

What's love? (Got to do, got to do with it babe) {Yeah, Yeah, Uh}
What's love?
It should be about us {It should be about us}
It should be about trust babe {Be about trust}
What's love?

I walked in the Student Union to meet up with my friends, Yo. I sat with my frat brothers and it was true I couldn’t get that cute little honey out of my mine. Now, that she was so called single and dropped me a line at the tutoring department, I couldn’t think about nothing else except her. Kai walked over to our brotha clink. I was quiet, as I still couldn’t believe she came to me to school her, no body else. Too bad I had dance class so; I couldn’t spend more time, with Sierra.

"Yo, I was fucking chillin’ in Mr. C’s class and shit,"

Said my frat brother Big Mike

His nickname was Big Mike, because ole’ boy was fat Yo. We once weight his fat ass and he clocked in at 350 and shit. Don’t wanna be caught in a dark alley with him. Kai sat next to me knocking me out of my fantasy. I got up to get me some tacos and shit. Nigga be hungry especially after fucking dancing.

I walked over to ‘Jo’s Tacos Stand’ and waited in line that’s when I saw her again. I couldn’t help but to stare at her. Sierra was so into her studying at one of the table she didn’t even see me looking. I licked my lips and surveyed her beautiful body and wished I could run my fingers through her hair, Yo. Then a sight that I would like to call ‘Stalking’ interrupted my thoughts. Tawanna tapped me on my shoulder. Gees what does she want *sigh*……..

[Verse 1: Fat Joe]
Yeah, yeah, uh, uh, woo, yeah, slow down baby
Let you know from the gate I don't go down lady
I wanna chick with thick hips
That licks her lips
She can be the office type or like to strip
Girl you get me aroused how you look in my eye
But you talk to much man your ruinin' my high

"Hey, Tawanna wassup girl?"
I asked

Like my friends said I am a nice guy and yeah maybe it seemed like I was stringing Tawanna along, but I didn’t have the heart to hurt her. The worst thing I could have ever done was sleep with her. But, I was drunk that night, Yo! I had just joined the frat and well, I was out to celebrate. I mean I saw her sweating shit, and me but I was fucked up. I get clingy and instead of sleeping with Jessica, I ended up fucking Tawanna I thought it was a simple thing with us. I thought we could mess around and not take it serious. I had just broken up with Heidi and well, ever since Tawanna been on my jock. I told her we should only be friends, but the girl doesn’t listen. She be sweating me and calling me.

SONG:

What's love? (Got to do, got to do with it babe) {Yeah, Yeah, Uh}
What's love?
It should be about us {It should be about us}
It should be about trust babe {Be about trust}
What's love?

"Wade, I thought we could study together,"

Smiled Tawanna

I didn’t wanna study with her! I just wanted to be coo with her instead, see what happens when you are nice to folks? She takes shit the wrong way, Yo.

"I dunno, I got things to do and shit,"
I said

"Like what?"

"Things, look I will hit yah back later, aiight?"

I smiled and which maybe I should be more firm but, I don’t know if I want to. Because then she be all crying and then I will feel bad. Some of her friends would come up to me saying she like me a lot and I should be nice. Bilal, Kai, and Jessi said I should tell the bitch to step off, but I dunno. I looked over by Sierra as she got up to go to another class. She saw me and didn’t nod or say hi. Which is ok, cuz we aren’t really friends, but damn that girl is fine! Whoa!

I watched as she walked down the hall way and out of sight. Her booty was so round and something kept making me see her in my sleep. Something I wanted to touch and wax one day, Yo! A certain sigh interrupted my perverted thoughts and that was Tawanna. She was looking at me all crazy.

"Why you gotta be dissing me like that!"
She snapped

I looked around me, as I knew damn well, this girl ain’t yelling at me like I be her man! What the hell!

"What?"
I asked

"You heard me! See, Wade I be all good to you and see how you treat me?"

"Ah, what?"

I asked all confused

"You heard me!"
She snapped

"We ain’t together, Tawanna,"

She did my ‘Pssh’ at me! How the hell you are going to use my ‘Pssh’ and then use it on me. I was insulted, Playa!

"Tawanna, you need to chill with all this shit you keep pushing my way,"
explained

She put her hand in my face and I was ready to slap the shit of her! I’m for real! Before I could say anything her crazy ass walked away. Thank god! I turned around and couldn’t wait to get my tacos. See what I have to go through with these crazy ass girls?

SONG:

Don't wanna lose the feelin'
Cause the roof is chillin'
It's on fire & you lookin'
Good for the gettin'
I'm rida

I got my tacos and sat down at the frat table. Yeap, we got our own table. Well, we don’t officially have one, we just staked out territory and all non-Geek people just stay away. Expect Jessica! She walked over and sat in my seat before I could. I sighed; I just sat in the seat next to her.

"I thought you were going to your design class,"

I asked

"I just got out of it, dipshit,"

She said

"Fuck you!"

"Naw, fuck you,"
she said

Woo! I just wanna kick her fucking ass when she gets smart with me. In front of my guys too! Always gotta open her big ass mouth up and say some shit.

"By the way, tell your insane friend Tawanna to step off,"

I said

"She ain’t my friend……she claims to be your girlfriend,"

She snickered

All the guys started to tell me this rumor that Tawanna had been spreading. I sat there, as I couldn’t believe she was telling lies just so I couldn’t get a girlfriend. See what I mean about these crazy girls? I was mad, man so I had to let that girl know next time I see her. That explained why she was in line snapping because I looking at Sierra.

"You claiming, Wade,"

Nodded Kai

"We ain’t together, man,"
I snapped

"According to Tawanna you are,"
smiled Jessica

"Man, fuck that bitch,"

I said

SONG:

Other in a hoodie or a linner I'ma provider
You should see the jewelery on my women
& I'm livin' it up

The squad stay feelin' the truck
With Chicks that's willin' to triz with us uh
You say you gotta man & your in love
But what's love

=====================

The guys arrived at the makeup trailer outside the news station. Justin kept trying to come up with a plan to get with Sierra. He kept asking Josh about the break up, which of course didn’t make sense.

"I mean are you broken up?"

Asked Justin

Josh who had enough with the questions turned to Justin. Chris laughed, "He’s going to kick your ass!"

"Ju, why do you care so much if I and Si are still together,"
snapped Josh

"Told you Ju, keep fucking with J and he’s going to make your curls into chopped liver,"

Said Chris

"I was just asking,"

Said Justin

"Well, shut the fuck up,"

Snapped Josh

Justin pouted as he walked next Joey. Joey put him in a headlock and gave him a nudging on top.

"Let go!"
Squealed Justin

"What are you up to Ju? I see the broken light bulb over your head trying to come on,"
said Joey

"I have no plans! I just don’t want him to hurt Sierra,"

Said Justin

Joey let Justin go as Josh lunged at Ju. He shoved Ju up against the side of the trailer. J was like a tickling time bomb and he was ready to explode. Talking about Sierra is like threatening to kill J’s family and shit. He was very territorial and he knew if Justin had so many questions he was up to no good. Justin struggled to get loose.

"Let go of me!"

Snapped Justin

"Don’t you ever……ever talk about Sierra! Don’t even utter her fucking name!"
Warned Josh

They had never seen Josh snap like that before. Lance patted Josh on his shoulder.

"J, chill Justin was just asking,"
said Lance

"No, this fucker is always been gunning for Sierra! I am going to say this once, Stay the fuck! Out of my business! Sierra is no certain for to you! You have Adrea and Neva! Worry about them!"

Snapped J

"Ok, J you harassed him enough. Ju learned his lesson,"

Said Joey

Joey who was strong enough to pull Josh off of Justin did it. Justin straight up his clothes that Josh wrinkled and gave him a look.

"I can do what I want and say what I want,"

Snapped Justin

They had to hold J back as he was ready to kick Justin’s ass.

"Ju, shut up ok? Gees!"
Snapped Chris

"Tell J to step off!"
Snapped Justin

Soon, Johnny came walking down seeing the guys in a tizzy.

"What’s going on? You guys need to be in make up right now! No time for games!"

Said Johnny

Joey whispered in Josh’s ear to chill. Justin gave J a smirk and walked inside the make up trailer untouched. Johnny saw Josh all upset.

"What’s wrong?"

Asked Johnny

Joey still whispered things in Josh’s ear to calm him down. Lance and Chris walked in the trailer.

"Nothing,"
sighed Josh

Josh calm down and him and Jo walked inside. Justin was sitting in the makeup chair still with a smirk as his plan was working.

SONG:

What's love? (Got to do, got to do with it babe) {Yeah, Yeah, Uh}
What's love?
It should be about us {It should be about us}
It should be about trust babe {Be about trust}
What's love?

"Ignore him, J,"

Encouraged Joey

Josh got into the makeup chair next to Lance.

"He’s an idiot, J…..Don’t let him get to you,"
said Lance

"He’s a fucking prick,"

Grumbled Josh

"Justin knows he’s a prick J, that’s why he does it,"

Said Chris

Joey snickered at Chris’s comment.

"I don’t know what we ever did without you, Chris,"

Giggled Joey

"It was really boring, huh?"

Asked Chris

"Yeap,"

Nodded Joey

Just then Sable and another make up artist walked in. Of course Sable had to do Josh’s make up first. Justin looked over and saw the connection. He was sitting next to Chris.

"Ju, will you grow up,"

Muttered Chris

"He’s too busy messing with her anyway. Why does it matter if I get back with Sierra,"

Smiled Justin

"You’re not getting back with her,"
said Joey over hearing.

Josh pointed at Justin in anger; "You ain’t getting back with her! Second of all, why you dogging Adrea like that! You have a daughter! You need to think about her! Keep talking shit and I’m going to kick your ass!"

"J, chill,"

Said Joey

"He’s an idiot"

Said Lance

"You’re a fucking idiot! Who the hell keeps pictures of livestock in their wallet!"

Snapped Justin

Chris fell out laughing, ‘Yeah that is stupid, Lance!"

"Leave my farm animals alone, Ju!"
Snapped Lance

"Let it go, lance! Their livestock!"

Snapped Justin

"Ok, if you guys are done fighting now, we can put your make up on,"

Said Connie one of the make up artists.

Sable smiled real nice as Josh in the mirror. She batted her eyes and whispered in his ear, "You’re sexy when you’re mad,"

He blushed and looked away. She whispered again, "Let’s see if we can make you even more sexier," as he patted foundation on his face.

[Verse 2: Fat Joe]
Yeah, uh, yeah, yo, mommy, I know you got issues
You gotta man
But you need to understand
That you got something with you
Ass is fat, frame is little
Tattoo in your chest with his name in the middle
Uh, I'm not a hater I just crush a lot
& the way you shake your booty I don't want you to stop

"Why do you say stuff like that to me?"
He asked

"Because, Baby I can,"

She whispered

She licked her lips and started to apply other make up on. They kept giving each other goo-goo eyes. Justin of course saw the whole thing. He nudged Joey who sat on the other side of him.

"Well, if he so-called loved Sierra why is he flirting with Sable? Are you sure he didn’t dump Sierra so he could talk to her?"
Asked Justin

Joey looked over and frowned and then said, "Shut up, Justin,"

Justin snickered, "Ok, sure make me out to be the bad guy,"

SONG:

What's love? (Got to do, got to do with it babe) {Yeah, Yeah, Uh}
What's love?
It should be about us {It should be about us}
It should be about trust babe {Be about trust}
What's love?

==================

Tara and Hugh had been in his closed office for awhile as Jeremy waited patiently in the lobby. He suddenly heard giggling coming from the kitchen. He at first ignored the giggling until he heard it again. He looked around to see where the butler was and he was no where in sight. Something in the back of his mind told him to go find out what the giggling was all about. He was sure it wasn’t Tara but it was a female giggle. He heard it again and he slowly approached the huge kitchen that was the size of a small restaurant kitchen.

He saw three playboy bunnies in there scooping ice cream in some bowels. He knew he had heard rumors that the bunnies stayed in the mansion during the photo shoots, but wasn’t sure it was true. Now, he knew it was it was like a naughty fantasy that came true as he watched them eat ice cream from the crack door of the kitchen. He didn’t want them to know he was there watching or scare them off. They were in plain clothes as they carried on a conversation about today’s events.

He hoped they would do the porn thing and wipe Rocky Road, Blue Moon, and Vanilla ice cream favors all over each other. He had been in the porn business too long, as he knew any situation could cause a person to have sex. He accidentally leaned too hard up against the door and it swung open. The girls gasped when they saw him. He stood up all embarrassed and waved, "Hi, ladies,"

"What are you doing here?"

Asked the blonde one

"Did you break in? This is private property,"

Said the red head

"I was actually waiting for my friend…..um…..Associate really, Tara is in with Hugh taking about some contract. They have been in close quarters for at least thirty minutes,"

Explained Jeremy

"Well, what are you doing walking the hallways?"

Asked the brunette.

"I heard you guys giggling. I’m sorry call me nosy or something,"
he chuckled

The girls didn’t find it very funny and this isn’t how a porn was supposed to go. They were suppose to rub ice cream all over their bodies as seeing him peaking at them was suppose to turn them on. They were suppose to invite him in and want to pour the rest of the ice cream on him as they licked it off.

"I think you should leave,"

Said the blonde

Jeremy couldn’t help to stare at the blonde as her breasts were the size of the whole state of California. She was so big, she was California!

"I’m Jeremy Jordan,"

He intro

"Well, Jeremy go wait in the lobby for your friend and stop roaming,"

Said the red head

"So, um you were on the cover of the magazine last month right?"
Jeremy asked the red head

She smiled and nodded; "Oh you saw it?"

"Mindy!"

Scolded the other bunnies

"Sorry, but that cover was the best picture ever,"

Explained the red head

"Well, Jeremy you have to leave! If you don’t we will tell Hugh you are snooping,"
explained the blonde

"Oh, no need to do that. I’m sure Tara is almost done with the interview, no news is good news right? She’s been in there along time so it has to be a good thing right?"

Asked Jeremy

The girls shoved him out of the kitchen and slammed the door in his face. He stood there for a moment.

"Well, I guess you’re not going to pour ice cream all over me then?"

He teased

They didn’t answer as he slowly walked back in the lobby area. Suddenly the office door of the Hugh opened. Tara walked out with her hair all messed up and Jeremy got a gust of warm wind that came out of the room with her. Tara looked edgy and upset of what had just went on in the meeting.

"Did you get the job? Did he mess up your hair in the mutts of it all?"
Asked Jeremy

"Shut up, Fred!"

Snapped Tara

"So, is that a no? I was sure you hanging with Hugh that long would mean good news. You didn’t sleep with him did you?"

He asked

Jeremy noticed that her blouse was opened slightly at the top as though she had taken off all her clothing. She buttoned the top of her shirt nervously. Jeremy placed his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"You ok?"

He asked

She shoved his hand away pissed, "Don’t fucking touch me,"

"Sorry,"

Hugh walked out fixing his bathrobe with a huge smile on his face, that’s when Jeremy knew Tara had slept with him to get the cover of playboy and to get word out in Hollywood of her so-called talent.

"Remember Tara meet my friend Mark James at 1030am tomorrow, to finalize the contract,"

Winked Hugh

Tara cracked an edgy smiled as though she didn’t want to do it. She nodded giving Jeremy the idea that she had to sleep with Mark too tomorrow to just get to do the shoot for playboy. Tara grabbed Jeremy by his hand and walked out of the mansion quickly.

They jumped in the limo and soon left the mansion. Tara didn’t say a word as she cried quietly in her sweater she had put over her blouse. She felt so valiant of what she had to do to get notice.

"You ok?"

He asked

She looked over at Jeremy with her red nose from crying and wiped her tears.

"I’m fucking fine,"
she grumbled

"Why are you snapping at me? What happened in there?"

Asked Jeremy

"You know Fred? You have a lot of questions for having a small dick,"

"I will ignore that comment as you are just lashing out at my penis, innocent by standers by the way, because what ever he said to you hurt you a lot,"

"Look, Freddy I don’t want to discuss shit with you ok?"

"Stop calling me Fred! It’s fucking Jeremy!"

Snapped Jeremy

"Don’t yell at me, Fucking Jeremy!"

Screamed Tara

The limo driver looked through his rearview at them listening to their conversation.

"I do what I have to do,"
muttered Tara

"What does that mean?

Asked Jeremy

She looked over him with a plain look, "Like I said……I will do what I have to do to make it in this business. Now, do me a favor and shut the fuck up,"

He gave her a look and stopped talking. She couldn’t believe she was stooping to the gutter of things to do to make it in the business. She was losing her pride; she rubbed her fingers softly on the locket around her neck that once accompanied precious Jasmine’s neck.

‘Do What I have to Do’ by Sarah Mclachlan

I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize

that I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how………to let you go…………

=================

Kelly waited in the room for the nurse to come back with her test results. Her hands grew clammy as was hoping she wasn’t pregnant. She thought back at the night when she had sex with Steve. With the non-amusing joke was ‘I think the condom broke! Just kidding!’. The nurse walked back in with her paperwork.

"We would like to do an ultra sound to determine if you’re truly pregnant,"

Said the nurse

"Well, I peed in a cup, isn’t that enough proof,"

Said Kelly

Kelly was all-uptight. She put the paperwork in front of her.

"The results are inconclusive,"
said Nurse

"Meaning what?"

"We can’t tell which, leaves us with plan B,"

"There isn’t a plan B because it just proofs I’m not pregnant,"

Kelly started to put her coat on to walk out.

"Kelly,"

Said the nurse

"It’s Jackie,……remember,(paused - blushed)…… Jackie Kennedy,"

Said Kelly

"Was it a date rape?"

Kelly’s face dropped and she chuckled at her question; "I would never put myself in a situation so I could be raped. No, it’s was this one guy,"

"You know him, then?"

‘Yeah, look so I take it as it is, the tests say I’m not,"

"The test doesn’t know. We don’t know unless we do the ultra sound,"

"Why is the test screwed up and it couldn’t give me a straight answer? I’m on pins and needles here…..I need to know, I can’t sleep at night unless I have answer,"

"Then stay and we will do the ultrasound,"

"Will it hurt?"

Asked Kelly

"No, Jackie,"

"It’s actually Kelly Prescott, I just didn’t want to use my real name,"

"Well, there is only one way to find out if you are pregnant,"

"Is to take the ultrasound,"

Muttered Kelly

"Correct, now do you wanna stay?"

Asked the nurse

Kelly slowly took her coat off and plopped on the chair.

"Yeah, let’s get it over and done with,"

Sighed Kelly

Kelly lay on a table as the nurse conducted the ultrasound. Kelly didn’t want to see the fetus on the screen.

"Ok, there will be a little pressure on your abdomen area"

Said the nurse

The camera instrument was cold as she ran it around her abdomen. The nurse looked at the screen as Kelly forced on the ceiling trying to remain calm. The nurse looked at Kelly.

"You’re pregnant,"

She announced

Kelly’s eyes watered up as she was overcome with emotion.

"Do you wanna see the fetus?"

Asked the nurse

Kelly shook her head no quickly.

"Do you wanna know how far a long you are?"

Asked the nurse

"Yeah,"

"Well, you are only a couple days, it won’t be able to determine exact date until it’s a month along,"

"A couple of days?"

Asked Kelly

Kelly’s worst fear had come true, if it was only a couple days along then it was Steve’s. She lay there sobbing.

"Do you need a moment before go back out in the waiting room?"

Asked the nurse

"Yes, please,"

Sighed Kelly

The nurse left her alone as she slowly got dressed. She couldn’t believe she was pregnant.

"I don’t care what the ultrasound says……..It’s still Joey’s,"

Kelly muttered to herself

(Rome)

The interview went well for the guys and it was soon quitting time. Joey, Justin, and Josh waited outside for Mr. chasez to come to get them. Josh was still not talking to Justin; well he wasn’t talking to Josh.

"So, when are guys going to drop this fighting shit?"

Asked Joey

"Tell your FRIEND, if he would stop frontin’ I would talk to him,"

Said Justin

Josh glared at Justin and said, "Jo, tell your FRIEND he needs to stay the fuck out my video,"

"Sorry, but I’m the one filming it,"

Joked Justin

"Look, guys don’t let a girl come between you,"

Said Joey

Lance walked over with a coke in hand.

"They still mad at each other?"

Asked Lance

"Yeah, very mad,"

Said Joey

"Well, you could do what my grandpappy use to do back on the farm when the chickens use to have a dispute,"

Said Lance

They looked at them strangely.

"Please spare us a Clinton farm story. This isn’t the time for it, Lancsten,"

Said Justin

"No, now hear me out, it worked everytime,"

Explained Lance

"Gosh, Lance how redneck can one weirdo be?"

Snickered Josh

"So, one chicken stood in one corner as the other stood in another corner of the barn,"

Started Lance

"Oh, this story is going to be one of the best, I can tell,"

Nodded Joey

"And well, I held one down and grandpappy held down the other,"

"Chicken sex! Lance, you’re one sick guy!"
Gasped Justin

"If, you would let me finish you fucking pervert!"
Snapped Lance

"Tell him, Cowboy!"

Cheered Joey

Chris was walking to his car when Joey flagged him down.

"Chris, Lance is telling one of his Clinton tales, come quick!"

Cheered Joey

Chris ran over right when Lance started to explain the rest.

"So, they would cluck at each other like crazy lunatics,"

Said Lance

"Gosh, this is a stupid story,"

Sighed Justin

"So, at the moment they couldn’t take it anymore, and believe me you don’t wanna get a chicken pissed off,"
said Lance

"Lance, you really need to lay off on the Tylenol PM at night,"

Teased Joey

"Or take Prozac, one of the two,"

Said Chris

"Well, the chickens ran at each other and basically tore each other apart!"

Cheered Lance

"Oh, wait it’s like chicken wrestling! I heard of this,"

Nodded Chris

"Chicken wrestling? Now, let’s rethink who needs to lay off the Prozac,"

Chuckled Joey

"Shut up,"

Muttered Chris

"Yeah, they have chicken fighting all over the south but, more in Spanish speaking countries. One time my older brother Luke, before he got strung out on drugs,"

Started Lance

"Great, now he will never shut the fuck up,"
sighed Josh

"Your brother was on drugs? Wow, we have a lot in common after all,"

Said Chris

"Well, he use to travel to Peru a lot in 1985,"

Explained Lance

"Will he ever shut up?"

Sighed Justin

"Well, he hooked up, what you hip hoppers call ‘A Honey’ and saw a poultry fight,"

Said lance

"If you don’t shut up, Lance I’m going to fight you,"

Snapped Josh

"Gosh, Lance your family is really white trash huh?"

Asked Joey

"His family is the poster children of www.whitetrash4ever.com,"

Joked Chris

"Well, then there was this one time when Lucy the pet pig got loose, gosh that was so sad when Norm the cat got standpeed by her,"

Lance thought out loud

"Gosh, we have to get drunk one night and Lance you could entertain us with your farm stories,"

Smiled Chris

"Ok, ok, enough with the Clinton stories! I can’t take it anymore!"

Said Josh with his hands over his ears.

"Yeah, we’ll be good……please just shut up,"

Pleaded Justin

"Did I tell you when I tried to teach Bessie, my cow how to ride the tractor? Well, I got grounded and my dad took all my allowance that year to buy a new tractor,"

Said Lance

"Make him stop!"
Whined Josh

"Ok, Lance chill or you will ruin Nsync,"

Laughed Chris

Lance nodded soon, Mo pulled up in HIS car to pick him up.

"Damn, she’s driving your car now?"

Asked Joey

"What happened to the tractor?"

Asked Chris

"Had to sell it, can’t have a tractor in the city limits nowadays,"

Said Lance

"Ain’t that a pitty,"
joked Chris

"Big nightmare, look see yah tomorrow yah hear?"

"See yah later space cowboy,"

Waved Chris

They waved at Mo as Justin ran over to the other side to whisper in her ear.

"Be afraid……. Very afraid,"

He whispered

"Meaning what?"

Asked Mo

Mo gasped and turned to Lance as he turned the hip-hop radio station she was listening to Country Hits 95.5. She slapped Lance’s hands.

"Don’t touch!"

She ordered

"Wow, J and we thought you were pussy whipped huh?"

Joked Joey

"Fuck off, Jo,"

Grumbled Josh

Josh sat on the curb of the sidewalk they were on.

"What do I have to be afraid of?"

Mo asked Justin

"He’s on one of his farm story kicks,"

Said Justin

Mo sighed and rolled her eyes, "Not again,"

"Yeap, good luck,"

Just patted her hand.

"Gee, thanks,"

She sighed

"Let’s listen to Martina McBride,"

Smiled Lance

"Who?"

Asked Mo and Justin

"Oh, Martina isn’t that bad,"

Said Chris walking over.

Mo rolled her eyes and they left. Soon, Mr. Chasez pulled up and they left. Josh and Justin still not on speaking terms.

=========================

Sierra lay on her bed after all her classes were over. She was had finally had time to think about her sadness. She cried in pillow hysterically, she realized he never called like he promised. It was obvious he didn’t want to be with her anymore. She didn’t understand why? She started to second-guess everything they had talked about. She started to blame herself for the break up as she kept remembering her saying his career meant nothing to her. She was mad and she said something that she would live to regret the rest of her life.

She crawled into bed and covered herself from head to toe. She wanted to disappear from this world, without Josh she couldn’t live. She wanted to die. Was this pay back from God for having the abortion? Was her payback was to be alone the rest of her life? She stopped to think that had to be it. I mean she deserved it for doing what she did. She shouldn’t have had an abortion; I mean look what was happening to her now? She was a horrible, horrible person.

One thing she never thought that would change was her love for Josh. She was sure they would end up like the old couple they use to watch together on the boardwalk on the beach back in Orlando. She thought and wished many times before that would be her and Josh one day. These dreams were fading quickly.

Just then she heard her front door open to her room. She peaked over the covers to see who it was. Kelly walked in and had a sad look too, following her in was Angie. Sierra covered her head back up.

"You ok, Sierra? Are you under the weather?"

Asked Kelly

Sierra didn’t answer as she moved around in her bed trying to get comfortable letting out a few whimpers here and there. Angie and Kelly just watched, as Sierra wasn’t leading on to what was wrong. They were more concern about what was going on with Kelly at the moment.

"So, you going to be ok?"
Asked Angie

Sierra listening quietly under the covers to their conversation.

"Yeah, I’ll be fine,"

Sighed Kelly

"Ok, just remember I am here for you,"

Said Angie

"Thanks. What I need right now is to be alone,"

"Ok, I understand. You know my number if you need to talk,"

Kelly nodded and showed Angie the door. Angie and her hugged for a couple moments and she gave her a soft kiss goodbye. She closed the door and walked over to Sierra.

"Ok, so do you wanna hear my problem or do you wanna go first,"
asked Kelly

"I don’t wanna talk about,"
sobbed sierra

"Did you flunk another class?"

"No!"

"Then did Chuku scream at you and well, causing you to cut out of there crying?"

"No!"

"Ok, so what is wrong then?"

Asked Kelly

Kelly sat next to Sierra’s covered body and tried to pull the covers down to see her face. Sierra whimpered and pulled the covers back up.

"Leave me alone!"
Whined Sierra

"What’s wrong, Si?"

"You’re prediction came true,"

Mumbled Sierra

"Meaning what? I didn’t predict anything?"

"Me and…..(Whimper)…..J,"

"What about you guys?"

"It’s……over,"
sobbed Sierra loudly.

"What do you mean it’s over?"

Sierra sat up and uncovered herself to show Kelly her tears and sadness.

"Gees, Si what happened?"

Asked Kelly

"He doesn’t (sniff….sniff)…..Doesn’t love me anymore!"
Sobbed Sierra

"What?"

Sierra hugged her still crying her eyes out.

"What happened?"
Asked Kelly

"I told him his career sucked!"

"Why would you do that?"

"Because it does! It’s ruining our……our…..(Sniff…. sniff)..Relationship!"
She sobbed loudly

"No it’s not,"

"He had planned to come here in two weeks…….and he cant……cuz they are going on tour,"

"Well, I know about the tour thing, but why break up?"

"He said……..But it has to be a lie because he didn’t call and shit…. So he must of changed his mind……..He said we are some ‘A Break’."

Kelly gave her a look; "You’re not Rachel and Ross! He needs to stop watching ‘Friends’,"

"He hates me!"
She whined

"J, doesn’t hate you, he loves you,"

"You were right! You said we would break up and look what happened!"

"Sierra, I said that out of jealousy I didn’t mean it,"

"It’s done, over,"

"Well, I watched that ‘Friends’ one he is declaring this so-called ‘Break’ from and well, it didn’t make sense. It was part of the skit. According to this ‘Break’ you are still together, but you are apart,"

"That’s what….(sniff…sniff) that’s what Jessi said(whimpering)….that anything goes when you are on ‘A Break’…..All I want is……JOSHUA!"

She whined loudly

"Well, wanna hear my problem?"

Kelly asked

"Is it worst than mine?"

Kelly started to cry hysterically, "Yes!"

"No!"
Sobbed Sierra

"You remember…..(Sniff……sniff)…..You remember when I said I was on my period?"

"Yeah?"

"I wasn’t! I went to find out if I was pregnant or not and…….(sniff……sniff),"

"And…..you’re…….(sniff…….sniff)…..You are?"
Sobbed Sierra

"Yeah!"
Whimpered Kelly

Kelly and Sierra looked each other in tears and hugged sobbing hysterically about their problems.

"This is just horrible!"
Sobbed Sierra

"Yeah, I know!"
Sobbed Kelly

Just then the phone rang; Sierra shoved her out of her way. As if this was Josh she wasn’t going to miss his call.

"Hello? Hello!"
Said Sierra all distressed

"Hey,"

"Hey, who? Josh?"

"No, (clear throat)…..It’s Justin,"

Sierra stood there confused on why Justin would be calling her.

==============

I was still trying to come to grip with all 2 Pac’s songs he had never released. I had put the finished songs in an empty cardboard box and the ones that he didn’t finish in another. I kept finding more pictures of his past and nearly fell over when I found one of him and I when we were three. I never knew we had ever met. I mean our folks had a past but not me and him. I brought the picture to Afeni, his mom.

"Oh, I haven’t seen this picture in such a long time, where did you find it?"
She asked

"In his room in a shoebox, besides pictures in it, it had a journal and some papers that of course made no sense,"

I said

"Well, Darlene, your mother and I had went to New York together and well, we brought you guys with us. You guys played and played like there was no end to it. Took that picture in the middle of Time Square,"

Said Afeni

I smiled at the picture and she said, ‘You are welcomed to keep it,"

"Thanks, I will that. Look, I have an idea but I need to pass it through you,"

"What’s that Rome?"

"Well, 2 Pac has all these songs that were never released. How about we release the music on a couple of CDs to the public. I am sure his fans would love to hear it,"

"Oh I don’t know Rome,"

She was very sensitive about 2 Pac ever since Suge Knight and Deathrow wanted to profit off of her son’s death. They were due in court the following Tuesday. She wanted some of the profits from the CD sales, as it was to pay for Pac’s hospital bills and memorial service.

"His fans loved him, Afeni and we can release it. Deathrow won’t be able to get their hands on it,"
I said

She looked at me still unsure, "Rome, I don’t know how to release music, I’m not a record producer,"

"I can help you. I have connections,"

She sighed and sat at her kitchen table. I kneed down in front of her, "Afeni, Pac would want this. He loved his fans; all I am saying is share the love. Plus this can help pay for some of the bills you are facing,"

She placed her hand over her mouth as she started to cry. Everytime she thought about her son and all the trouble Deathrow was giving her, it just broke her heart.

"You want me to help you out?"
I asked

"You do it, he left it to you. You said you know what you are doing, so I will leave it up to you,"

I nodded and patted her on her hand, "Don’t worry, everything will be fine. I want to help you out as much as possible,"

"I can’t give you any money for you working on Pac’s stuff. I’m broke,"

"Don’t worry, I have money. I ask for nothing in return. All profits go straight to you,"

"Rome I can’t expect you to do this for free,"

"Don’t worry about it. It’s the least I can do,"

"Take his music with you. Do whatever you want with it, but don’t let no other person release his songs. I want you to do only,"

I nodded and we hugged. I packed up my stuff including his music and went back to Orlando. I left pretty early in the morning for the airport and I knew I had to do something else to help Afeni out. I wrote her a 100,000.00 check to help her financially. She didn’t want my money but I had to do something. Plus, ever since the accident my records sales had sky rocketed. My face was all over BET, VH1, and MTV, all over the world. Pac and I were more popular then ever. A little drama goes a long way huh?

Badboy Label exploded in sales too. Suddenly Puffy Daddy was concerned a genius with work and he had the nerve to say he was sorry that Pac died and I got shot. That fucking lair.

Several weeks later Notorious BIG was shot dead outside the SoulTrain Awards. Everyone knew in the business that was going to happen and that it was a hit issued by Deathrow or some underground 2 Pac supporter.

=================

Josh tried to call Sierra when got in the house, but he got a busy signal so he decided to call back later. Little to his knowledge Justin had called Sierra before he could. Josh didn’t know that was going to happen and well Kelly and Sierra didn’t have call waiting.

He missed Sierra with all his heart and couldn’t stand the thought of loosing her. There was a knock on his bedroom door and his dad walked in. He saw how distraught his son was.

"You’re quiet tonight,"
said Mr. Chasez

"I just have a lot on my mind that’s all,"
said Josh

"Wanna talk about?"

Mr. chasez sat next to him on the bed. Josh laid down distraught placing his hands behind his head, in deep thought of his beloved.

"No, I don’t wanna talk about,"

"Sometimes talking about it helps,"
said his dad

"No, not this time. I have to work things out on my own,"

"Everything ok with you and Sierra?"

J’s eyes widen and he nodded his lie, "Fine,"

"You seem sad that’s all,"

"I’m ok, gotta lot on my mind,"

Does this part of the chapter remind you of a ‘Full House’ moment when dear of dad or uncle Jessie has a talk at the end trying to smooth things over. Usually it ended on a happy note, well not this time. It was true the chasez had the whole Brady Bunch thing happening at their house where everyday is a happy go-lucky-day in the neighborhood.

Richard wanted to tell Josh about his long lost sister and his new niece Neva, but didn’t know how. He knew Sarah would blow up at him if she knew Rich was in Josh’s room to actually tell him the truth.

"So, I wanted to talk to you about something,"
said Richard

Josh raised his eyebrows as all he could think about was the great sex he and Sierra use to have in the actually bed he was laying on. He was also thinking about how he held her in is arms and kissed her soft lips feeling secure about their relationship. Where did it all go wrong? Sigh!

"Actually dad can what you want to talk to me about wait?"

Asked Josh

"Well I have taken a lot of time to think of what I wanted to say,"

"Ok, fine go ahead,"

Richard opened his mouth as suddenly Josh sat forward and announced, "Joey?"

Richard looked behind him and Jo walked in smiling. Damn it! He couldn’t tell Josh the secret now! Damn Joey! Don’t people knock or call anymore before stopping by.

Richard stood up and gave a disappointed look. He really wanted to tell his son but now it had to wait. Josh saw his concern.

"Oh, sorry dad what were you going to tell me?"
Asked Josh

"Oh nothing. It can wait,"
said his dad

Richard patted Joey on his back with a smile actually wanting to put him in a headlock for interrupting the son/father talk.

"Well, you boys have fun,"
announced Richard

He left the room. Josh got up and closed the door.

"Thanks for saving me from a father/son moment! Sometimes he all loves on me. I’m eighteen, when is he going to learn to let go,"

Said Josh

"So, J you dumped Sierra for Sable?"

Asked Joey

Josh was dumfounded as Joey just threw that question at him without bullshit leading up to it intro.

"Well?"

Asked Joey

Josh stood there speechless.

================

5of10

(Chris)

Lance, yes our cowboy and Mo were sitting at his place watching TV. He put in the video ‘Some Like it Hot’ with Marilyn Monroe in it. Mo took one look at the movie that at Lance.

"Who’s she?"
Asked Mo

"Marilyn Monroe,"

Explained Lance

"Oh, that girl that committed suicide over the Kennedy brothers?"

"Um, they say it was suicide but, I was watching the History Channel and well, they had this special on and they think the FBI killed her,"

Mo gave Lance a look, as he was so into Marilyn’s death.

"Oh,"

Sighed Mo

"So, I thought we could take it easy this evening and watch a movie,"

"Oh, I’m not on my period,"
she chuckled

He looked at her and she patted his knee and said, "We can do it,"

"I didn’t mean it that way. I meant we could just watch a movie and chill out,"

"Watch what movie?"

Ok, unless she’s a dumbass, I am sure he was referring to the one he just popped in the VCR.

"Um, the movie we are watching now,"

He said

"Oh, that (pointing at the movie)?"

"Yeah,"
smiled Lance

"Nah! I don’t want to,"

She snatched the remote out of his hand and flipped to MTV Raps. She suddenly stood up and started to dance, "Heyyyyyy, that’s my song!"

He sat there watching, as this had never happened to him before. She turned up the volume and nodded her head, "Dang! The bass on this TV is good……heyyy go Mystikal!"

"Who’s Mystikal?"

"He’s this fine ass rapper…….see he on the TV now? Uh-huh!"

She continued to dance and did the booty shake real fast as he gasped.

"You look like one of those chicks on TV,"

He said

"Heyyyyyy! Uh, this song the bomb!"

She started to clap her hands loudly as Lance was getting concern his family would hear all the commotion and come running in. She clapped her hands and danced so much it looked like she was at a concert!

"Like the song, huh?"
Blushed Lance

"Uh-huh! Come and dance with me,"

"No, that’s ok……..Just enjoy yourself,"

He was so disappointed as he was hoping for a nice night at home with his new girlfriend but he had found himself that seem to be at the Soul Train Awards with all the dancing and partying Mo was doing just to a simply video. She shook her ass in front of his face. He tried to get away.

"Um, I can’t see the TV,"

He said all concerned

"That’s ok, baby! You can watch my butt!"

She giggled

"Well, um……well,"

"Turn me up in the headphones yo! Heyyy!"
She cheered

Lance slipped away from her butt bouncing and said, "I’ll get us some sodas! You just keep doing what you’re doing, yeah,"

"You got any pigskins?"

"No, back on the farm I did. It was very painful for the pigs, at the time,"

"I meant the food Silly,"

"Oh, no we don’t have these,"

"Chips?"

"Yeah,"

He nodded

"Spicy Bar-a-Q?"

"No, just plain. The Bass family doesn’t get daring,"

He giggled

"I see,"

She mumbled

Lance gave her the soldier’s statue and walked out. He closed the door behind him and walked into his kitchen. His sister Stacy was in there.

"Hey, Lance,"

She said

"What are Pigskins?"

"Something daddy once made our overalls out of,"

She answered

"That’s what I assumed too, but Monique called me on it. They are like chips or something,"

"Oh, pigskins! Those are good, it’s pure fat and they deep-fry them. They are like chips, fingerfood,"

"Well, I didn’t know that. Did they sell them at the county store in Clinton?"

"No, not sense the Protest of Pigs in 1993,"

Said Stacy

"Oh,"

"So, how’s the relationship going?"

"With Monique? Well, it’s different,"

He nodded

"So, when are you planning on calling it quits?"

"I never said I was going to dump her. She’s a nice girl with interesting qualities,"

"So, you want her to dump you first?"

Asked Stacy

"No, is there any Jolly Good Soda left?"

"Yeah, in the fridge. Remember when we made our own soda on the farm?"

"Yeah, these were the days. City folks have it too good,"

Said Lance

"Yeah, they don’t know how to rough it,"

Said Stacy

"Too commercialize,"

Said Lance

The phone then rang and Stacy answered it.

"Lance it’s for you,"

Said Stacy

"Who is it?"

"She said she’s Tara,"

Lance froze in his tracks with his mouth open.

"Tah-tah…..Tara?"

He awed

"Yeah, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing!"

He snatched the phone from her hands quickly. He cleared his throat and spoke, "Tara?"

==================

Neva sat on Justin’s lap cooing and sucking on her fingers as he talked to Sierra on the phone. Sierra wiped the last of her fallen tears.

"So, how are you?"

He asked

"I’m fine, everything going ok with you?"

"Yeah, just sitting with my daughter here. Gosh, Si you should see her. She’s so beautiful. I still can’t believe I’m a daddy, you know?"

He chuckled

"Yeah, I can hear her cooing,"

‘She’s always talking. Wanna say hi to her"
he smiled

"Well, sure,"

He put Neva up to the phone which she assumed was a new chew toy and drooled all over it.

"Say hi, to Sierra,"

Said Justin

"Hi, Neva how are you?"

Neva farted and right in Justin’s face. He laid her down on his bed as he was over come with toxic baby waste in the air.

"Gees, Neva what did you eat? Must have been the spilt peas for dinner, huh?"

Asked Justin

Neva smiled and drooled all over.

"That’s my baby. So, tell me Si what’s going on in your life?"

Asked Justin

"Nothing much,"

"You sound like you are surprised to hear from me,"

"Well, yeah I mean you never called me before,"

"Well, I figured what the hell I should run up my dad’s phone bill and call everyone I ever knew in my whole life. Next on my list an over seas call to Todd and Ruthy. That should be a thousand dollars,"

He joked

"So, everything going well with you and Adrea?"

Justin nodded, "Yeah, miss her a lot,"

Sierra remembered how Adrea and Kai were so close and had been messing around that seem like day one of college. She didn’t like how Adrea was hurting her friend.

"Well, when do you get to see her next,"
said Sierra

"Well, I was thinking about coming up in a couple weeks before we leave for Europe. That’s the least I can do, I don’t wanna be the boyfriend to keep a girl hanging,"

Sierra grew quiet, as that was he was hoping for. His plan was working and his first step was to get Sierra to envy his and Adrea’s relationship. He knew Josh had pulled out on Sierra last minute with the visitation and Justin mention he would never do that to Adrea would make Sierra come back to him. She will wish he were her man because at least he wouldn’t let her down. He decided to dig the knife in her deeper.

"Well, Josh cares so much about you. I know he will be up there too to see you,"

He said

She closed her eyes tightly as that hurt when he said that. Obviously he didn’t know they had went on this ‘Break’ thing. Unfortunately this was all a game to Justin and he knew everything that was going on. Josh gave him an opening and he was going to try to get Sierra back, even if it meant hurting Adrea in the process. He figured she would survive.

"Well, actually…….me and Josh have been having problems,"

Said Sierra

Justin cracked an evil smile and put on his ex boyfriend – helping-a damsel in distress act.

"Really?"

He asked

"Yeah, I mean we broke up……well, I don’t know if you can call it being broke up but, we are on this thing called ‘A Break’,"

Explained Sierra

"Wait! That’s it!"

He put his finger up as he gasped

"What?"

"No, no, I have to be wrong just forget it,"

He chuckled

"What Justin? What?"

"Well, I was going to say that explains why he’s flirting with this chick named Sable. She’s our new make up artist,"

The was a long silence as him uttering those words broke her heart even farther. By the quietness assured him that his plan was working. He tickled Neva’s chin and she giggled.

"Well, Si I might be wrong. In fact, I’m sure they are just real good friends,"

Said Justin

She placed her hand over her broken heart as tears steamed down her face.

"Sierra, you ok?"
He asked

"Yeah, (sniff……..Sniff) look I have to go,"

She said

"You ok? Did I worry you? I didn’t mean to. You know how I assume shit that isn’t there. I was wrong, yeah I was so wrong,"

He extended his lie

"I’m……..(Paused)………sure,"

She nodded

"Well, It was so nice talking to you, Sierra! We need to have more conversations like this. I will send you a baby picture of Neva when I get copies made ok?"

"Sounds good,"

"Hey, you sure you are ok?"

He asked with an evil smile

"Yeah, Ju I’m fine really happy,"
she said with her voice cracking

"Well, Sierra you are very special to me and if you ever need someone to talk to just call ole’ Justin here ok?"

"Yeah, I’ll do that,"

She sighed in despair

"Bye, Sierra,"

"Bye,"

She hung up and sobbed hysterically.

"What’s wrong?"

Asked Kelly

"There’s a reason why he doesn’t want to be with me,"

Sobbed Sierra

"What do you mean?"

"That was Justin on the phone and he said that J is all buddy-buddy with this chick that does their makeup,"

"No, it can’t be. That doesn’t sound like J to do something like that,"

Sierra started to panic as her whole world started to close in on her. She grabbed her coat and ran out. Kelly stood out in the hallway.

"Sierra, where are you going?"
Called Kelly

"Out!"

Yelled Sierra

Justin meanwhile, took Neva’s little hand and high five it with his own.

"High five for daddy, Neva. You should be very proud of your daddy right now,"

He baby talked

Neva smiled and he kissed her forehead.

"Daddy, did good,"

He smiled

======================

"Well?"

Asked Joey

Josh took a deep breath as he tried to get his thoughts together. Joey sat on the bed and stared at Josh.

"It’s not like that,"

Said J

"Are you sure? I mean you guys are pretty buddy-buddy all of sudden. Tell me you won’t throw out what you have for some Max Factor wannabe,"

"Come on, Jo I love Sierra! You know that!"

"Then what are you doing man?"

Asked Joey

"I don’t know,"

Said Josh

Josh sat on the bed and covered his face with his hands and sighed.

"Every since,"

Started Josh

"Every since what?"

"Every since I told her we were on ‘a break’ I cant get the feeling of guilt and regret out of my mind,"

"Then call her up and say you changed your mind,"

"I tried to call, but the line is busy. She must be talking to her folks or Kelly is yacking,"

"Hey! Kelly doesn’t yack (thinks about it for a moment) actually she does,"

Smiled Joey

"What am I going to say to her?"
Asked J

"Tell her ‘Hey, Si I’m sorry. I was a dumbass will you forgive me’,"

"I’m not saying I’m a dumbass,"

Said J insulted

"Oh, yeah that’s right you would only say that if your name was Justin Timberlake,"

Joked Joey

"I’m serious Jo what should I do?"

"First of all, stop using Lancing Queen slang ‘I’m serious’ soon you will move to Clinton have buy a farm. Very sad tale,"

"Come on, Jo,"

"Ok, calm down. Just call her and say ‘I miss yah! I want you back! I cant live without yah’,"

Josh uncovered his face and looked at him, "That actually makes sense,"

"Thank you (thinking about the comment as an insult) Hey! I make sense………at least most of the time, damn it,"

Josh picked up the phone and dialed and Kelly answered.

"Hey, Kell is Sierra around?"

Asked Josh

Kelly sighed as she remembered what Justin said about J seeing his make up artist.

She placed her hand on her hip and grew angry.

"You know you must think she’s stupid or something!"

She snapped

"Um, what are you talking about?"

‘You didn’t think she would find out? Why did you do this to her? She was so good to you and never cheated or even thought of another guy! And you go do this?"

"Kell, I don’t know what you are talking about?"

Joey stood up and walked over, "You are talking to Kelly? Oh, let me talk to her!"

"Kelly, Can you tell me what you are bitching about?"

Asked Josh

"You know damn well!"

"First of all I am not messing with my make up artist!"
Snapped Josh

Joey stood back, "Damn how did she find out?"

Josh shushed Joey.

"You know there are people in this world that are looking out for Sierra, me and someone else,"

Said Kelly

"Like who? I’m not messing around with anyone,"

Said Josh

"Damn, the chicks must have cameras following us and shit,’
teased Joey

"Well, according to this CERTAIN person he said that you are screwing your make up artist,’

Snapped Kelly

"I’m not sleeping with anyone!"

Snapped Josh

Joey looked over at J’s bed and saw a stuffed animal underneath it. He walked out and pulled the teddy bear out. He laughed and shoved the bear in J’s face, "Is this the bear you’re sleeping with!"

Joey laughed as Josh snatched the bear away, "Sierra, gave that to me before I left,"

"Isn’t that a Carebear?"

"Yeah, Tenderheart bear,"

"Why did she give you a Carebear?"
Snickered Joey

"Because, we have this…………just shut up, Jo! And stop digging through my stuff!"

Snapped Josh

Josh tossed the stuff animal in his closet.

"Kelly?"

Asked Josh

"You are such a fucking dog! Of all the guys I thought were half way descent. I thought you were the good guy!"
She snapped

"Look, I don’t have time to fight with you. You don’t know what is going on, where is Sierra?"

"She doesn’t wanna talk to you!"

"Where is she? Put her on the phone!"
Demanded Josh

"It’s a little hard when she’s not here,"

"Where is she? What did you do to her you witch!"

"A witch!"

Gasped Kelly

"Ok, I was being nice! You fucking bitch!"

Snapped Josh

Joey quickly snatched the phone away, "Don’t say that to her,"

"She’s a fucking bitch! Ask her who the unknown source is!"

Snapped Josh

Joey put his hand in Josh’s face, "Chill out, Mr. Big Nose!"

Josh started to pace back and forth in anger trying to figure out who told all these lies on him.

"So, how are you?"

Asked Joey

Kelly sobbed.

"That bad huh?"
He asked

"Oh, Joseph! I have something to tell you!"

She sobbed

"What Kelly?"

"Are you sitting?"

"Well, yeah,"

He said standing

"Ok, I know this is kind of off the wall and shit. Believe me I wasn’t expecting this to happen,"

"Well, things happen,"

He shrugged

"So you know what I am talking about?"

"No,"
He said all confused

"Joey?"

She sobbed

"Yes, Kelly?"

"I skipped a period! We’re having a baby!"

Suddenly everything got hazy around him and the room started to spin.

"So, what?"

He asked

"I’m Pregnant!"

Kelly heard a thump and the phone drop.

"Joey?"
She asked

J looked over and knew who the unknown source was that was ruining his life, "Fucking Shirley Temple!"

Josh realized Joey had suddenly fainted from the baby news.

=========================

Adrea and Kai lay on his bed in the frat house making out. He squeezed her breasts as they kissed passionately. When she was with him it felt like he was the only one she could see. She crawled on top of him and took off her top. He lifted up her bra cups and rubbed her breasts and she moved her bottom half into his. She placed her hands on top of his and helped him squeeze hers. She leaned forward so he could suck on her breasts. He placed her nipple in his mouth and sucked on each of them.

They soon slipped out of their clothes. He looked around for a condom and realized he was all out. She lay under the covers waiting as he gave her a displeased look.

"What?"

She asked

He sat next to her; "I don’t have a jimmy,"

"Damn it,"
she sighed

"I will go see if Bilal or Wade got one. I’ll be right back,"

He smiled putting his jeans on

He leaned over and gave her a kiss. He walked out and knocked on Bilal’s door. There was no answer as one of his frat brothers walked by.

"He’s not going to answer,"

Said his frat brother

"Why?"
Asked Kai

"Jessica here and you know what that means,"

"Damn it, we won’t see Bilal until morning,"

"You betcha,"

Kai walked over to Wade’s room and knocked he could hear the TV on. Soon Wade walked over and opened it. Wade had only a pair of boxers on(I know many of you girls are drooling now).

"Did I interrupt you?"

Asked Kai

Wade was in bed already as his room was all-dark. The TV was the only light in the room as it flickered in the background.

"Naw, I was just watching TV, Yo,"

Said Wade

"Can you help me out?"

"Well, don’t you have a TV in your room?"
Asked Wade confused

"Yes! I didn’t mean can you hook me up with a TV, son!"

"Then what?"

"You got any jimmies?"

Just then a frat guy walked by named Jimmy.

"You called?"

Asked Jimmy

"Naw, man! Sorry about that!"

Laughed Kai

"Been a crazy night, huh?"

Chuckled Wade

"No, kidding. Look I have a honey in my room and I was wandering if you have a condom I can borrow,"

"Well I have condom and you can HAVE it. I don’t want it back. Nigga said ‘Borrow it’,"
snickered Wade

Kai playfully shoved Wade; "you know what I mean,"

Wade nodded and walked into his room looking for a condom. Kai walked in and realized that Wade was watching an old rerun of ‘Full House’ the one episode he was on

"Damn Wade! I can’t believe you were on that show when you were a kid,"

Said Kai

"Yeah, don’t even look like me anymore, huh?"

"Well, you never grew out that of that big head of yours,"

Teased Kai

"Haha! Stupid ass! Nigga said ‘Can I borrow a condom’ like I want the shit back,"

Snickered Wade to himself

"Shut up! You knew what I meant!"

"So, who’s the honey?"

"You know,"

Winked Kai

"Adreanna Cruz! The Cuban (Starts to salsa dance) dancer of your dreams, Homes,"

Teased Wade

"Give me the condom, with your dancing ass!"

Laughed Kai

Wade tossed him a condom and continued to tease, "Remember you don’t have to return that!"

"Shut up!"

Laughed Kai

Kai walked back out and passed Bilal’s room where you can hear them going at it. Jessica uttered loudly, "Sex me! Big boy! Show me who my dad is!"

Kai snickered and walked into his room. Adrea was still lying there. Kai closed the door behind him and slipped out of his jeans.

"Didn’t want to keep a lady in waiting,"
he said

He climbed into bed after putting the condom on. They started to kiss as he went down on her. She ran her fingers through his dread locks as he licked all the right spots.

"Oooooooh, Kai!"

She moaned

He licked her inner essence and soon entered her body. He moved his bottom half into her hard. He then moved it in and out of her quickly. He turned her over and entered her from the back end. The Q-Dogs trademark --- Doggy Style! Woof-woof! He hit it from the back quickly with each and every moan. She soon climbed on top and rotated her hips in circular motions giving him pure pleasure. He held on to her breasts and squeezed them tightly.

"You feel so good,"
he uttered

~*~

Meanwhile in Bilal’s room……..

They were in the moment of climax when he uttered "I love you!"

She shoved him off of her and sat up in shock "You what!"

He laid there trying to figure out how he was going to explain that one.

"You what?"

She snapped

"I um……..Love you?"

He said unsure of her reaction

=========================

6of10

(Josh)

"You what?"

Asked Jessica

Bilal sat there speechless for a moment and then lay on his stomach away from her to avoid the question. She nudged him.

"Hey, I’m talking to you!"

She said

‘Yeah, I hear yah,"

He sighed

She shrugged her shoulders, "That’s all you can say to me? ‘I hear yah’?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Well, first of all you brought this up, not me. I was there ready to cum and you go and say ‘By the way, I love you’,"

"I didn’t say it that way,"
he chuckled

"This is not a laughing matter. Tell me what is going on here, Bilal,"

He sat up next to her and said, "I have been wanting to tell you that, but everytime I tried, well someone or something interrupted me,"

"So, you thought saying it during hot loving would be the prefect time?"

"Well, not exactly. See I was so excited and I just burst out ‘I love yah’,"

"You could have gave me some warning here. Now, I just don’t know,"

She got up and started to get dressed.

"Where you going?"

He asked

"I don’t know, I’m freaked out right now,"

She said slipping her shoes on

"I didn’t want to say it this way. It’s just we have been so tight lately and I thought we could be more than just sleeping buddies,"

She didn’t answer as she searched for her purse.

"Well, You’re very special to my heart………(started to dig in her dresser)…..I even write a poem about it,"

Said Bilal

Jessica paused in awe, "Tell me you didn’t,"

"Yes, I did (clear throat and straighten piece of paper) roses are red, violets are blue,…..I want to share my love with you. When you are away, I have nothing to say…….,"

He read

"Well, maybe you should keep quiet then,"
she mumbled

"I’m not done!"

"Sorry, but do you have to do this to me? I mean of all the people………TO………ME?"

"When you are gone away……….I know I will see you one day,"

He read

"Oh, gees,"

She sighed

"You have this way of making things look better,"

He said closing up a the note

"Oh, good you’re done. Like I said this is getting weird, I was ok until you said, ‘I Love yah’. I think I should go home and reflect of tonight’s events and call you tomorrow. (Doing the famous Fatone pointing) and you need to stop writing poetry. It just plain sucks, man,"

Bilal got dressed and walked over to her.

"Now, Jess I know you must feel something for me,"

Said Bilal

"Bilal, you are a real sweet guy, but you don’t wanna get involved with a person like me,"

"Yes, I do,"

‘No, you don’t! You don’t know what I am all about. I’m like no-holds bar type of person. I’m a loner…………..I’m a rebel…………….I’m Frosted Flakes without the milk in the morning, that’s how much of a wanders I am,"

Explained Jessica

"So, you don’t feel anything for me?"

"Oh, Bill if I did it would be all wrong,"

"How do you know that? I mean we are going good now,"

"Until you said these naughty words to me,"

"What? That’ I love you?"

She gasped in horror, "Stop it! You are just plain evil! Those words can hurt somebody! Those words can get you on ‘America’s Most Wanted’,"

"Stop joking Jess,"

"I’m not. I’m crazy about yah, ok? I admitted it, but you know I have this rep of being ‘Jezza the down ass bitch’ and I cant wreck that, I mean I have followers,"

"Like who?"

"Adrea, Sierra, Heidi, and that dorky girl in the computer lab nicknamed ‘Stinky’,"

"They ain’t your followers,"

Said Bilal

"Ok, so I scared them into looking up to me, but it doesn’t change nuthin’,"

"All jokes a side you are afraid of commitment,"

He smiled

She thought about it and nodded, "Yeah, I suppose,"

"Well, I can change all that,"
he smiled in delight

She thought about it and shook her head, "No, that’s not possible. See I like to have my cake and eat it too,"

"Jessi?"

"Gotta go! I think my apartment is on fire! Adios!"

She lied

She opened the door and ran out. Bilal stood there hurt as he closed his door back up.

===================

"Joey? Hey, wake up,"
I yelled

Joey was coming to as he uttered, "Sandwiches," off and on. He swung his head side to side as he slowly sat up. He held his head as little yellow tweety birds flew around it.

"You ok, man?"

I asked

"J, we aren’t in Kansas anymore……..We have to get to the wizard so I can get a brain and he can shrink your nose,"

Said Joey all groggy

My dad and mom rushed in as they heard a thump from the downstairs where they were. My mom saw Joey holding his head dazed and confused and kneeled to his side.

"Oh, Jo what happened?"
Asked Mom

"He just passed out,"

I explained

I then remember Kelly was still on the phone. I picked it up.

"Kelly?"

I asked

"Yeah, what happened?"
She asked

"I don’t know, he just passed out,"

"Oh, no I also killed the father of my baby,"
said Kelly

"What?"

I asked

"Josh, I’m pregnant!"

I was so in shook as I babbled unknown words of this world. I then said the stupidest thing. I didn’t know how to react, ok?

"IT’S NOT MINE!!!"

I gasped

"I know, that stupid!"
Snapped Kelly

"Oh, good cause I was about to say (chuckle) I would have remembered how bad it would have been,"

"Fuck you, Joshua! I’m not a bad lover!"

She snapped

"Well, I wouldn’t say that until someone polls you first,"
I joked

"Asshole! Put Joey on the phone!"
She snapped

I looked over as my folks helped dazed Joey to the bed.

"Joey, honey is there anything I can get you? Like some ice for the bump on your forehead?"

Asked my mom

"A sandwich would be good right now,"

He nodded

She smiled and went to make Joey a sandwich.

"Easy on the tomatoes, Mrs. C,"

Yelled Joey

"Jo, what happened?"

Asked my dad

"Well, Ward!"
He started

"Jo, um my name is Richard,"

"Oh, sorry but you do have the whole Leave to Beaver thing going on here,"

Joked Joey

"What happened?"

Asked my dad

He saw I was still on the phone trading insulted with Kelly and he snatched the phone from me.

"Kelly, did I hear you right?"
Asked Joey

"Are you ok?"

"Are you……….(paused)…….pregnant?"

Asked Joey

I looked over at my dad whose mouth was dropped open in shock. I sat next to him and patted encouragement into him, "Just be happy it’s not mine, dad,"

"Yeah, Jo It’s……..True. I went to the doctor and everything,"

Said Kelly

"Oh my gosh!"

Said Joey

"I know,"

"What are we going to do? Are you ok? I mean maybe you should lay down,"

He said

"Joey, I’m fine. I’m just trying to adjust to this all,"

"No, kidding, me too,"

My mom walked back in with her apron on and handed Joey a sandwich. Joey looked over at my dad and me and said, "This is what I mean with the whole Leave it to Beaver thing! Mrs. C, you totally rule!"

"Jo?"

Asked Kelly

"Yes, Kelly,"

"How do you feel about this?"

"Well, wow! I mean I don’t know this is all new to me. It’s like getting off a diet and I don’t know what to eat first,"

Said Joey

Joey took a bite out of the sandwich and thought about his fatherhood, "It’s nice! I mean if it’s anything like the sandwich I am eating right now,"

"So, you’re happy I’m pregnant,"

Asked Kelly

"Yeah! I mean wow! Me being a dad, who would of thought,"

"No kidding,"
I chuckled

Joey looked over at and me and grumbled, "Shut up, J,"

"Well, Jo I have to call my folks and tell them my news,"

Said Kelly

"Ok, talk to yah later!"
Smiled Joey

He and Kelly hung up and he started to cry hysterically as he suddenly hung on to the bottom of my mom’s apron.

"Oh god! Help me! I’m going to be a father! My life has just ended!"

Joey said in agony
========================

Sierra sat in the hallways of Jessica’s building. She waited at her apartment door for her arrival. Jessica came walking towards her with key in hand.

"Hey,"

Said Jessica

Sierra stood up and hugged her crying, "He’s cheating on me!"

"Who? Josh?"

"Yeah,"

She nodded

"Gees, you should of cut his throat when you had a chance,"

Joked Jessica

Sierra cried more; "I can’t kill him! I love him too much!"

"Ok, calm down we will come up with another way,"

Jessica opened her apartment to find no cousin around. Sierra quickly went to the bathroom to grab a tissue as she whimpered still.

"Where’s my fucking Stevie now?"
Jessica asked herself.

She then found a note on the kitchen table addressed to her from Steve:

Dear Bitch,

Went to LA to visit this one broad. I enjoyed your fucking company and will talk to you later. After LA I plan on bunking back with my pops. I called him and well he’s not mad anymore. Well, at least not mad enough to break my fucking kneecaps as he once promised to do if I didn’t get out of his house. Talk to you later, always a pleasure.

Steve

To one mack to another

"Fucking Stevie,"
she mumbled to herself.

Sierra walked out of the bathroom blowing her nose like a horn.

"Gees, why don’t you try out for the New York Symphony with that nose of yours,"
Joked Jessica

"Oh, Jess it’s so terrible!"

She sobbed

"Who told you that Josh is cheating?"

"Well, I was chillin with Kelly,"

"Oh, stop right there, you said the problem! Kelly fucking told you this? The bitch is insane and looking for an ass whipping! Don’t believe anything she says,"

Said Jessica

"No, Jess Justin called me when I was chillin’ with Kelly,’

"I still say next time you see the switch hitting bitch! Run! She’s a fucking nutcase!"

"Please listen to my problems!"
Whined Sierra

"Ok, Sierra spit it out,"

"So, the curly critter said J was cheating on me with his stupid make up artist,"

"Curly what?"

"One of Justin’s nickname. Actually I just added that one to his list of names, anyway what am I going to do, Jess?"

"Well, first of all, do you believe it?"

Sierra thought about and remembered that Justin was known to spread rumors. But yet again could Josh dump her for another girl for real? That very thought sent her into tears again. She didn’t know what to believe anymore as she lay on the sofa and sobbed.

"how about we have a couple of beers and talk about it?"

Asked Jessica

"That sounds good,"
she sobbed

Jessica went and got a six pack of beer out of the refrigerator and sat next to sierra.

"So, is Josh capable?"

Asked Jessica

"Of cheating?"

"Yeah,"

said Jessica

Jessica had to put her plan in place to drive Sierra away from Josh and into Wade’s arms.

"No, I mean we love each other,"

Said Sierra in between sips of her beer

"Well, I understand that you guys love each other but, long distant relationships rarely work out, Si,"

Sierra pouted, "Really?"

"Yeah that’s what Tom Brokraw on the Nightly News said. He had a skit about it and everything. The news never lies,"
lied Jessica

Tears continued to rolled down Sierra’s face, "But, Justin lies so much and well we never know he’s telling the truth. He could be just saying this to get back with me,"

"Well, first of all if Adrea ever gets rid of him, I want to be the first to tame the little curly tiger. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

"Jessica!"

She scolded

"Sorry, just a fantasy (shrugs and sighs) back to your problems,"

"I don’t know what to do,"

"Well, if it’s rumor? Most rumors that are spread are true,"

Sierra put her beer down and cried hysterically, "Oh, Jessica! I thought he loved me!"

She put her head in Jessica’s lap and continued to cry.

"I know, there, there. Sometimes the truth hurts,"

Comforted Jessica

Jessica was proud Sierra was one step away from Josh and one step forward towards Wade.

====================

"Tara?"

Asked Lance

"Hi, Lance,"

Said Tara as her voice cracked a little.

Lance didn’t know how to react, as this phone call wasn’t expected. It was hoped it would happen, but it happening at that moment was like a dream come true.

"How are you?"

She asked

"Well, the career is going well. How about yourself?"

Tara who was sitting in her hotel room looked down at the signed Playboy contract and said, "It’s going I guess,"

"Well, I was hoping you would call,"

He blushed

"Really? Why?"

"I don’t know,"

"Oh, ok,"

She chuckled

"Well, it was nice hearing your voice. Um, how’s the movie business going?"

Stacy looked over all surprised, "Oh my gosh! She’s in movies now?"

Lance waved his sister away, as he wasn’t going to tell her what type of movies Tara did.

"Well, it pays the bills and by next week I would have a real nice apartment,"

Lance’s face grew sad, "So, you plan on living in LA, huh? I thought it was only going to be for a short time,"

‘No, Lance I told you I wanted to make it big,"
she said

"Yeah, well I’m happy for you,"

He said with pain in his heart.

"Thanks, I was hoping you would have my back one hundred percent. I can’t believe I am calling you, I mean with our fall out,"

"I wanted to tell you I’m so sorry for what I said to you,"

"No, Lance I was wrong, so very wrong,’

Uttered Tara

"No I shouldn’t of call you a whore,"

She wanted to say but only thought, ‘The way my life is going I am turning into that once mentioned whore’. Tara held in her pain.

"It’s ok, Lance I deserved it, I shouldn’t of dissed you,"

She said

Lance covered part of the receiver so his sister would hear what he was going to say to Tara, "Tar, I wanted to tell you I miss you,"

That melted Tara’s heart as a tear ran down her face. She couldn’t let Lance know she missed him too. It would just be too painful to deal with at that moment.

"Thank you, Lance,"
she said

There was a long silence when he finally said, "I don’t regret anything,"

Tara looked around her room and at her life and realized she regretted a lot of things she did in her past and even in presence.

"Well, I don’t regret anything neither,’
she lied

He nodded, as he was unsure of what else to say to her. His future with her in his life was dim, as she had decided to live in LA instead of come back to Orlando.

Just then Steve walked in the room with his suitcases and announced, "Honey, I’m home!"

Tara smiled in delight and said, "Oh, Lance I have to go!"
