AJ turned on the light walking into his room, he stopped when he saw the lump in the bed. 'Must be Jules', he thought walking over to it. He uncovered the body.

"Oh, hey" Julie said waking up from her light nap

"Hey, so you decided to come back I see"

"I had nowhere else to go" She said quietly, "You mad?"

"No" He said undressing. He layed down next to her, "Sorry about what I called you"

"It's ok baby" She smiled kissing him softly.

AJ deepened the kiss while rolling on top of her.

"AJ" she whispered, "I don't think I'm ready"

"Ok" AJ nodded rolling off of her. He snuggled up closer to her and closed his eyes, "You wanna go out tommorow night?"

"Yah" Julie said, "where you gonna take me?"

"It's a surprise"

"Baby, if I got pregnant, would you be happy?"

Aj sighed, "I dunno, I'm not ready for a baby"

"Well what would have happened if you hadn't of killed it?"

"Jeez Julie, I didn't know you were pregnant. I didn't mean to kill our baby"

"I know" She sighed.

"You should go get some birth control ok?"

"k" She nodded

"I love you" AJ said into her ear

"I love you too" she whispered before falling asleep

*****

"Julie, baby, wake up" AJ said shaking her softly, "You wanna go to Brian's with me?"

"Ok" she said crawling out of bed and getting dressed, "What are we going to Brian's for?"

"Just to chill. You'll have fun"

Julie nodded putting on her make-up. She followed AJ out of the house and into the car.

"I'm not gonna drink ok?" AJ said placing his hand on Julie's thigh

"Ok" She smiled, "My sister's coming out"

"Yea? When?"

"Tommorow, is it ok if she stay's with us?"

"ummm, yea" AJ said

"No it's ok, she can stay at a hotel if you don't want her to"

"I said it's fine" Aj said as he drove a little faster.

Julie sat back. She knew that AJ and her sister couldn't stand each other, "AJ, I know you don't like her. She didn't ask to stay with us"

"Well she can if she wants"

"Why don't you like her?"

"I just don't ok?"

"Well she's my sister. I'd like it if you could at least get along with her."

"I tried before. I only try once."

"She just doesn't know you well enough"

"Drop it Julie"

"No AJ, we need to settle this. She's coming out tommorow." She said as he punched in the code to Brian's gate.

"I said she could stay!" he exclaimed as he parked the car in the drive-way

Julie sighed getting out.

"Are you pissed now"

"No, I just wish you'd try to get along with my friends and family. I mean I adapted to your life. I get along great with your friends, and now they're my friends. But when my friends come along, you want nothing to do with them."

"I liked Farrah" he said walking with Julie to the door

"Only because she was hooking up with Kev."

"You know what Julie." he said stopping, "If you don't wanna hang around my friends, you didn't have to come"

"I never said that! You're not even listening to me anymore!"

"Do you want me to take you home?"

"No" she sighed knocking on the door.

"Hey" Leighanne smiled opening the door.

"Hey" they said.

Julie walked past her and sat next to Farrah. She crossed her legs and arms and looked at the ground.

"What's wrong chick?" Farrah asked rubbing Julie's back softly

Julie shook her head as she stood up. She walked upstairs and into a guest bedroom. She sat there wiping the tears away and crying to herself.

"Jules?" Farrah knocked coming in followed by Leighanne, Mandy (Nick's girl) and Claudia (Howie's girl).

Julie looked up at them.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Leighanne asked sitting next to her.

"We just got in a fight, that's all" She said

"What did he do to make you so upset?" Claudia asked

"Nothing" Jullie said. She kept on hoping in the back of her mind that AJ wouldn't be mad at her when they got home.

Farrah sighed, "You sure Jules?"

"Yea" she nodded.

"So, how are you and Nick doing?" Claudia asked turning to Mandy

"We're good." She smiled, "He's such a sweetie."

"Have you guys had sex?" Leighanne asked

"Yeah" she blushed, "have you and Brian?"

"Hello!" Farrah asked, "They only live together!"

"Shut up!" Leighanne laughed throwing a pillow at her.

"Hey guys" Farrah said, "If you were dating someone that hit you, would you tell anyone?"

Julie almost stopped breathing when Farrah looked directly at her.

"You aren't saying that Kevin hits you, are you?" Leighanne asked

"Of course not!" She exclaimed, "Kevvy loves me too much to hit me. Just a retorical question"

"Well yea, I'd tell" Claudia said, "But my latin lover wouldn't hurt me"

"Man, I could kick Brian's ass" Leighanne said

"I bet" Julie muttered

"What about you Jules, would you tell?" Farrah asked

"Yes I would" She said glaring at Farrah

Farrah sighed in defeat

"Well, Brian surprised me with making lunch for everyone. You guys wanna help me?" Leighanne asked

"Sure" everyone said getting up. They all walked down teh stairs and past the guys.

AJ stuck his arm out and stopped Julie as she walked by him.

"What?" She asked softly looking down at him.

He pulled her over the arm of the chair and onto his lap, "You mad at me baby?" he asked looking into her eyes.

She nodded while laying her head on his shoulder.

"Sorry sweetie, I'll make it all up to you when we get home ok?" He whispered into her ear.

She giggled softly, "ok"

AJ smiled at her as she stood up. He smack her ass as she walked by.

"AJ" she hissed laughing

*****

"Ok, we're gonna go home alright guys?" AJ asked handing Julie her purse.

"Alright bone, don't forget"

"I wont" he said leading Julie outside.

~*~ Back in the house~*~

"Kev, I need to talk to you" Farrah said as she walked into the living room. Kevin got up and followed her

"What's up baby?" He asked sitting on the couch

"Kev, I don't care what you say anymore, I know he's hitting her."

"How do you know this time Farr?"

"When we were all upstairs, I asked the girls what would they do if their guy was hitting them. And Julie just froze, then got all defensive. And.." she paused, "I saw this huge bruise on her shoulder."

"She was wearing a sweater."

"I know, but it was a little big and I saw it. And don't you think it's a little weird that it's the middle of June and she's wearing a sweater?"

"Yeah..." He trailed off, "Look, I'll talk to AJ about it tommorow"

"No, I want you to talk to him about it now" She said

"He's not home yet..."

~*~ Back With Julie and AJ~*~

"J, you still gonna take me out?"

"Yup, we have reservations at 7:30 SO dress up, ok?"

"Ok" She nodded as AJ pulled up to the house. They walked inside. Julie looked around the house and noticed it was still a mess from the last time that they had got in a fight.

AJ wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the back of her neck. He led her upstairs to their bedroom and layed her down. He smiled at her then layed himself on top of her while kissing her. He undressed them both and sat back looking at her bruised body. He sighed while reaching over and grabbing a condom out of his drawer.

Julie smiled up at him at he put it on. "Mmmmmm" She moaned loudly as she felt AJ enter her fully.

~*~*~*

"Oh baby, that feels so nice" Julie moaned, loving the attention she was getting from AJ. AJ looked down at Julie, her eyes shut tight and her hair stuck to her sweaty face. He took his hand and rubbed it over her wet body.

"baby, I'm ready" She said as AJ's thrust became faster. "Oh!" She exclaimed as she came forcfully.

AJ came after her slowing down his pace and falling on top of her body.

"Wow, that was incredible" Julie whispered kissing the top of AJ's head

"Yah" AJ nodded rolling over. He groaned as the phone rang next to him.

"Hello?" He asked

"Hey bone, It's Kev."

"sup?"

"Ummm, Farrah is worried about Julie"

"oh, well tell Farrah that everything is ok, and we made up"

Kevin sighed, "Are you hitting Julie?"

AJ turned his head sharply and looked at Julie who had her eyes closed with a small smile on her lips, "Who told Farrah that?"

"I dunno, she just told me that she thinks you're hitting Jules. Look J, I dunno what's going on with you two ok? But if you are hitting her, you need to stop. A real man doesn't do shit like that"

"Well look Kevin, You tell your nosey ass girlfriend to mind her own damn business ok?"

"My god, you really are hitting her. Damn I never thought you'd be the one to do that to Julie. I gotta go man"

AJ hung up the phone and looked at Julie. She opened her eyes and looked into his evil glare.

"What happened?" She asked

"What did you tell Farrah today?" He asked Putting on his boxers.

"Nothing" She said

"Bull shit Julie! You told her that I hit you"

"No I didn't!" She exclaimed standing up with the sheet wrapped tightly around her.

"Don't fuckin lie to me" He said walking twards her.

Julie backed up and ran into the bathroom locking the door.

"Open the door!" AJ yelled

"I didn't tell her anything" Julie cried as AJ jiggled the door knob

He stopped when he remembered the key on the door sil. He reached up and took it down unlocking the door

"Shit" Julie whinned as the door opened.

"Forgot about this didn't you?" He asked waving the key in front of her face.

"Please AJ" She begged, "I swear, I didn't tell her anything"

"Just shut up" He said grabbing her and handing her the phone, "I don't want you talking to Farrah anymore, understand?"

Julie looked at him like he was crazy, "Farrah's my best friend. I've known her all of my life. This isn't fair. This is your problem, not mine"

"Call her!" He said jerking her out of the bathroom.

Julie quickly dialed Farrahs number

"Hello?"

"Kev, I need to talk to Farrah"

"Jules, is he hitting you?"

"I need to talk to Farrah"

"OK" Kevin said. There were voices in the back until Farrah picked it up

"Jules"

"Farrah, I can't believe what you did to me. I thought we were friends"

"We are. I'm just trying to help."

"We can't be friends anymore. I can't believe you" Julie said hanging up, "There are you happy! You ruined my whole life!" She cried throwing the phone at AJ.

AJ looked at the phone as it started ringing, "What?" He asked into it

"Umm, is Julie in?" A soft voice asked

"Who's this?"

"Diana, her sister"

"ok, hold on" He handed the phone to Julie

"Hello?" Julie asked

"Hey girl! I got an early flight out here"

"D!" Julie squeled, "Are you at the airport?"

"Yup, did you see if I could stay there?"

"Yah, of course"

"Ok, well I can't walk there so you gonna come get me?"

"Yah" Julie laughed, "We'll be there in like twenty ok?"

"K" Diana said hanging up.

"Look baby, I'm sorry for not believing you"

"I don't wanna hear it right now" Julie said walking to her closet and pulling out a pair of boot cut jeans and a tank top. She got dressed

"You're not even gonna cover up?"

"Nope, now that everyone knows about you, Why should I?"

AJ got dressed and stormed out of the house slamming the door behind him. Julie sighed while getting herself together. She slipped in a hooded sweatshirt and walked out of the house to see AJ peel out of the driveway. She climbed into the drivers side of the expedition and drove to the Airport
