Chapter 9

I was still on the BSB bus since there weren't any bunks left on the dancer bus. I didn't talk to AJ except when I had to and it was driving him crazy.

"oh shit!" Brian exclaimed as he tripped over leighannes bags. "Leigh, how hard is it to pick up the damn bag?"

"sorry" she said taking it and throwing it on her bunk.

"where's AJ?" I asked

"in his bunk" Brian said rubbin his leg

I got up and went to the bunk room. "aj?"

He opened up his curtain, "oh, hey."

"can we talk?"

"sure"

"Aj, I over- reacted and I'm sorry, I really want to be your girlfriend, can you forgive me?"

He smiled while hopping down he wrapped me in his arms and kissed me deeply.

~*~4 months later~*~

"Nick, get your shit, I wanna go" I said sticking my head into his hotel room.

"hey baby," Aj said wrapping his arms around my waist. I had on a tube top and a pair of tight jeans."mmm, you smell good"

"hey," I turned around. I leaned up to kiss him. Our tounges played for a while until we heard someone clear their throut.

"oh, hi Denise" I said embarrased

"hi sweetie, you guys almost ready?"

"yea." AJ sighed grabbing my bags and his

"babe, I can take my own bags."

He handed me a tiny bag then walked to the elevator

~*~ the bus, an hour away from Jive~*~

"how come we have to go to Jive first?" I whinned

"We know you wanna get home just as bad as we do, but we have to check in" Brian said irritated. By now, everyone was sick of each other,

"Brian, don't be rude to her," Leighanne snapped

"tell her to be patient"

"I heard you just fine" I said coldly

"good"

"look guys," Howie started,"we're all grumpy, lets just go to our bunks or something"

We all stood up and walked to the bunk area.

"lay with me" I said to aj

"why?"

"please?"

"ok" he said climbing in after me, "these weren't made for two people"

"it's ok" I said snuggling next to him.

We got to Jive and they gave all of us our money.

"justin" I asked, "are you going home?"

"naw, I'm going to Britney's first"

"ok, J can you give me a ride?"

"yep" He said taking my hand. We walked out to his car and he drove me home.

"ok, bye Aj." I said climbing out. I walked inside, "mom?" I called turning on the lights. There was a crash, "shit" I said walking up stairs to my room. Somebody covered my mouth and turned me around to face a ski mask. I started crying.

"shut up you little ho" He growled throwing me on the bed. He tore off my tube top and grabbed my breast. He stuck a sock in my mouth then took off my jeans.

"hey baby..you didn't..."A raspy voice said from the door, "get the fuck off of her!" He screamed throwing the guy against the wall. Aj kept punching him until he passed out. I curled in a ball crying to myself.

"oh god baby" AJ said hugging me, "I'm so sorry, I gotta call the cops"

I held on to him tightly

"baby, I gotta call the police"

I let go of him and rocked myself.

"yea, umm my girlfriend was almost raped...yea, he's still here knocked out...I did...can you get somebody out here please?..ok thanks" He said hanging up. "Baby, the cops are on their way"

I just layed there.

"baby, say something please"

" Thank you" I whispered, "I was so scared,"

"I know you were baby"

"Aj?"

"yea?"

"I love you, I mean I really do, you just saved me"

"wow...umm I love you too baby."

I smiled hearing it for the first time. There was a knock at the door. I stood up and grabbed my robe and we walked downstairs"
