Chapter 14
~*~*~2 months~*~*~
Farrah stared at her cell phone as it rang for the millionth time.
"You should answer it" Julie said as she ate a tub of Ice cream.
"No, I know he's not sorry."
"You never know" she shrugged.
"Here, you answer it" she said handing it to Julie
"Hello?" Julie asked into it.
"Hi baby" a raspy voice said
Julie almost stopped breathing
"Hello?" he asked again.
"Uh...why are you calling me on Farrah's phone?"
"Cause I figured she'd have you answer"
"AJ, I don't want to talk to you"
"Please" he begged, "I need to talk to you"
"No, I hate you and don't call me back. If I ever see you're fuckin ass again I'll kill you. Oh, and I know you've been cheating on me"
"What? Where did you hear that?"
"I just know" she said, "Now, leave me alone" she said hanging up
"AJ?" Farrah asked
"Yea" Julie said as tears formed, "I don't hate him"
"I know you don't"
"Farrah, should we go back?"
"No, we have to be strong. If they want us, they'll find us."
"How Farrah, they don't know where we are"
"Well, Mandy and Leighanne know where we are, so Nick and Brian can get it from them, they have their ways"
"I guess, let's just sleep"
~*~*~*~
Julie walked to the front door as she heard knocking. "Mandy?" She asked opening it.
Mandy bit her lip and mouthed 'AJ'
Julie looked at her confused but stopped when she saw AJ step out of the shadows.
"Mandy...how could you?" she asked.
"He made me" she said as AJ walked in the apartment.
"What are you doing here?" Farrah asked coming out of her room.
"Just coming to get my girl"
"I'm not going anywhere with you AJ. We can't be together anymore"
"Mandy, get Nick, tell him we're not leaving until I get my girl back" AJ said sitting on the couch.
"Get out" Farrah said pulling him up.
"Farrah, back up" he said
"Please?" Julie asked, "Please...just leave. I'm happy without you"
"No you're not. You're just lying to yourself. You need me and I need you"
"We don't need each other" She argued.
"Let me just talk to you"
"No"
"Yes, then I'll leave"
"You promise?"
"Yes"
Julie sighed walking into her room. He followed her in. She sat on the bed and looked at him.
"I umm, I got help again. I've been seeing her for the last two months. I don't drink at all anymore...and I love you"
Julie let tears fall from her eyes.
AJ came up to her and kissed her cheeks and rubbing the tears away.
"No, AJ"
"Please honey. Let me make love to you"
"Why? Why do you keep doing this to me. Just leave me alone"
"Honey...please. I promise this time. Everything about me has changed.
"In two months AJ?"
"Yes, I did it all for you." he whispered kissing her lips before deepening it. He layed her back on her bed.
"AJ, I can't...I can't do it anymore"
"Julie, I'm a different person...I would never hurt you again"
"You promise you wont hurt me?" she whispered as he slipped her tank top off.
"I promise" He smiled at her.
"Can we not have sex?"
"But I wanna show you how much I love you, Julie"
"I know, but...I just don't think it's right"
AJ backed up from her and kissed her again, "I love you"
"I....ummm....I love you too" she said softly
"You'll come back home now?"
"No, I'm gonna stay here"
"How can we be together if you're not at home with me"
"I'm not living with you again until I know you're better"
"Ok" AJ said standing up.
Julie stood up also, "AJ, who are you cheating on me with?"
"I'm not"
"Don't fuckin lie to me. Tell me"
"Julie, Listen to me...I'm not cheating on you"
Julie slapped AJ across his face.
"What the hell!"
"Who AJ? Just tell me" she said tears started coming out of her eyes.
"I stopped OK? I stopped when you left"
"Who? Do I know her?"
"Honey, please, just drop it."
"No, if you want me back, you have to tell me"
"Sarah" he muttered looking away, afraid to see the hurt in her eyes.
"What?"
"I said...Sarah"
"Sarah who?"
"You don't know her"
"Asshole"
"I said I stopped"
"Did you fuck her"
"Yes ok! I'm fuckin sorry Jules"
"So I'll call you" she said opening her door and letting him out.
"Baby..."
"GO, you promised you'd leave after I talked to you."
"I'm so confused...I thought we were back together"
"Before I knew you were cheating on me with her!" Julie screamed at him before looking over at Farrah who was staring at Kevin.
"When did you get here?" Julie asked Kevin.
"I've been here" he said softly.
"Look, both of you need to go" Farrah said.
"Farrah, you don't understand. You and I are not like AJ and Julie ok? We're married"
"I don't give a fuck"
"I have never done anything wrong to you. I messed up ok? I'm so sorry"
"Get out" she said firmly.
"Farrah..." Kevin said confused as to why she was treating him like that.
"You are such an ass hole! You act like you're all protective and shit and you don't do anything to protect anyone! Every time AJ beat on on Julie you got pissed, but you didn't do anything. Even when he hit me, you didn't do shit"
"I called-"
"A fuckin call Kevin!" she screamed cutting him off, "did you think that was gonna do any good? huh! You fuckin bastard"
AJ and Julie stood there.
"Why is this being turned into a fight about AJ?"
"Both of you leave now before I call the cops. It was a mistake coming here and you know it."
"What do you need from me Farrah. Tell me and I'll do it."
"I need you to leave me alone"
"Is it time? Cause I've given you time. Money? I'll give you anything your heart desires. Just tell me what to do to get you back in my life." he said as tears formed.
"I've never seen you cry" Farrah said softly.
"You've never seen me hurt that's why" he said wiping away the tears, "I love you too much to lose you over a mistake"
Tears started pouring out of Farrah's eyes, "I love you too" she said walking into his open arms.
"Come home baby?"
"Ok" she nodded, "Julie can stay with us too?"
"Of course"
AJ looked at Julie who was giving Farrah a death glare.
"What ever happened to being strong huh Farr?" She said
"Julie, he's my husband"
"Whatever, you can leave, but I'm staying here."
"Julie..."
"No" She said sitting on the couch.
"Please? You don't have to stay with AJ. You can stay with me and Kev"
" You know what Farrah, You're the one who told me not to get back with AJ, and look, now you left me with a fuckin apartment to pay for because you decided to be the weak one and go back to your man."
"I'm not weak" Farrah said softly, "I'm gonna pack some stuff up"
Julie walked in her room and slammed the door shut.
"Julie baby" AJ said from outside her room, "Please come home, I promise I wont hurt you"
"Yes you will. As soon as I get back your gonna beat me up"
"No I wont" He said leaning his forehead against the door, " I swear"
Julie silently packed a bag, "You're so damn stupid" she whispered to herself. She finished packing and walked out.
"You're coming home?" AJ asked
"Yea" she nodded.
