"Hey Kat isn't that AJ over there?" Kat looked to the back of the club where Howie was pointing. Sure enough there was AJ with some slut blonde on his lap feeling him up. Pulling her over to the table Howie wanted to talk to AJ about what happened at the mall. "AJ whos your friend?" Looking up from his toy AJ saw as shocked Howie and a pissed off Kat. "hey baby why don't you go get me a drink." Slapping the bimbo on the ass as she left he turned to face his friends. " Whats up guys?" "Maybe I should ask you that Alex. What happened at the mall today with you and Amber?" Kat took a seat in front of AJ. She wasn't going to let him get away until she got what she wanted and that was to make both of her friends stop hurting. " Look Kat its bad enough that Amber and Train are together and that she now my new secretary, but I don't need you butting in to my personal life ok." AJ tried to get up but Kat just pushed him back down. "First of all Kev and Amber are not together and second....Shes your secretary? I don't think she would have gone for a interview if.....Oh my god she didn't know it was for you did she?" Howie looked at Kat who was for once was at a loss for words. "AJ I'm going to say this once and thats it. Kat and Amber live a cross the hall from me and Kev. go talk to her. I know you love her and I'm sure deep down she still loves you. Ditch the blonde bimbo and talk to her. Let her know what your life has been like since she left." With out a word AJ got up and left. He didn't know why but for once he wasn't going to over think this one.

Looking up into Kevins eyes I couldn't lie to him or to my self any longer. I knew deep down that I liked Kevin, but he was right it wouldn't work if I still liked AJ and I did. I still loved him even though he hurt me so much. "Kev I know Kat told you what happened between me and AJ, but even she doesn't know the whole story. After we had been dating for about six months I started to hear storys going round about AJ and the head cheerleader. I would ask him about it and he would tell me that people were jealous that me and him loved each other and that our love was forever. Well I kept hearing more and more storys that had to do with AJ. I pushed them aside as much as I could and asked when I wasn't sure. I didn't know for only the first 3 months that he was faithful to me. Every thing he said and promised where all just lies. So one day I couldn't take it anymore and I left to live with my family in Ca. Kat gave AJ a note for me telling him why I left. I told my self I would never let him get to me that way again." After I told Kev about to day he sat there and looked like he was lost in thought. He turned his body so he was facing me. "I know AJ can be a ass but he loves you. I don't think he ever stopped. Did Kat ever play our song "10,000 Promises"? Its a song AJ wrote about promises being broken and lies that were told. He told me he wrote it after his first love left him. He tried to put him self in her shoes and see what she must have gone through. That song is what he came up with."

AJ was just about to knock on the door when he saw it was slightly open. Stepping inside he heard me and Kev talking. *God how could I have been so stupid?* He just stayed there and listened to what was said. "Kev I would love to try see what would happen between you and me, but I need to work things out. 4 years have gone by and I still don't know what to think about him. I hope we can still be friends and hang out." Kevin smiled. He knew that me and AJ would be together and that there would never be a me and him. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Leaning over he gave me a kiss tracing my lips with his tongue. I knew I just had to taste him just once so I opened my mouth and let him in. I placed my hand on the side of his face as he pulled away. " AJ's a lucky guy. I hope it works out." With that said he got up and left. AJ made a quick dash back out the door and tried to make it look like he just got there. Kev walked across the hall and as he did so he knew AJ heard everything. "Treat her good AJ because if you don't I'll kick your ass." he walked into his place and shut the door leaving AJ with his jaw on the ground.

Pushing the door back open AJ walked in to see the room empty. I had gone to my bedroom to change into my silk nightshirt and boxers. After I pulled off my shirt and bra I slipped on the shirt. It was long enough that I didn't need to put my boxers on. The only time I really did that is when other people were in the house and I was alone so what would it hurt? I turned around to see AJ standing in my door way. He walked in and shut the door to my room. "How long have you been here AJ?" "Long enough for it to reminded me of the way you smell, the way your smile lit up a room when you walked in....and the way you felt laying in bed next to me that one night we were together. Baby what happened to us? Why did you feel you had to leave?" I sat down on my bad and took my pillow and held it. Thinking back I felt my tears on my cheeks. "You lied to me..I...I didn't know what to do. I tried everything to get you to talk to me. DAMN IT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT ME YOU SHOULD HAVE DUMPED ME!!" I curled up in to a ball on my bed and started to cry openly. AJ had never seen this side of me before. He was touched and scared all at the same time. Walking over to me he placed his hand on my arm. " Amb's we were young and still growing. I never meant to hurt you and I know what ever I say wont make up for what I did to you back then. I just wish you came to me and talked it out. I was so hurt when I go that note saying you could never trust me and never wanted to see me again. I didn't know what to do with my self. Kat wouldn't tell me where you were. I was ready to come to Ca and find you. You have always been my one love."

Sitting up to look at him, AJ moved his hand from my arm to my leg. Taking his other hand he wiped the tears off of my cheeks. " I heard everything you and Kev said tonight. I know that your scared about all this....to tell you the truth so am I, but I would rather be that way with you." I knew I didn't want to let him get away from me. "I love you AJ. I want to give us another try. Can we?" A soft smile graced his face. Laying down beside me he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to his body. He ran his hands up and down my back in a nice soothing motion to get me to stop crying. It was so nice that I fell asleep and so did AJ. About 2:30 in the morning Kat and Howie walked in to the apartment. "Well either they worked it out and left or they blew up and went to two different places." Giving Howie a dirty look they started to go to her room. "I'm going to peek in her room and see if shes there." Stopping at my bedroom door they opened it to see me asleep on the bed and AJ in a chair watching me.
