Weeks went by and things were great. I got to spend lots of time with AJ. When we were at work we kept things very professional. Every now and then we had our moments when we just couldn't wait to get home. I even got to try out his glass desk. Kat had moved out and her and Howie got a place together. I wasn't ready to move in with AJ. I don't know why but I just felt the time wasn't right. I did end up moving into Howies old room. The place him and Kev had was a lot bigger and I hated to be a lone. It was great to have Kevin as a roommate. When I would come home form work he would have dinner on the table. When I didn't go to AJ's and he wasn't here I would stay up all night and watch movies with Kevin.

One night I got a call from AJ telling me he wasn't feeling well and that he was going to stay home and rest. We had made plans to go out to dinner that night. "Hey shouldn't you be getting ready for AJ?" Kevin was on the couch in sweats and a tee shirt. "No hes not feeling good. I was really looking forward to going out tonight. I was hoping to go dancing. We haven't done that in ages." I kicked off the shoes I had on and started to make my way to my room. I was all dressed up and now I wasn't going out. " Hey Amber!" Kev had jumped up off the couch and run down the hall to my bed room door. " Stay dressed and give me 5 minutes and I'll take you out dancing." True to his word we were out the door and out to dance the night away. The one thing I liked about hanging out with Kev was even though I knew how he felt about me we were still able to have fun and not feel weird because I knew. As midnight rolled around we decided to go to one more club and then home. It was a club the boys went to when they had a guys night out. As soon as we got in Kevy had me out on the dance floor. They were playing one of Joes songs and I was feeling really good. It was the third club we had been to that night and I had plenty to drink. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He may not have been my AJ but Kevin was just as good of dancer. Wrapping his arms around my wast he started to grind his hips into mine.

"Hey Howie look at that. Train and Amber are starting to get a little freaky on the dance floor. But where is AJ" Kat was looking around the room and finally saw him at the bar with a red head. "Leave it to Kev to date a red head. Lets go join Kev and Amber" Howie dragged Kat to the floor and got a spot next to me and Kevin. "Hey guys what are you doing here? Don't even call me and Kat to join you four out dancing." Looking up at Kevin I saw the same confusion in his face. "What do you meen us four?" "You know you two AJ and whoever your hear with Kev." I pulled away from Kev and walked over to the bar. When I got there I saw what they meant. AJ was sharing body shots with some girl. "Sick my fucking ass!" As the other three walked over to me Kev had told them what was going on. Before Kevin could get a hand on me I stormed over to AJ. " Hey AJ I hope your little slut is a good fuck because you wont be getting any from me ever again!" The tart stood up to challenge me. "Who are you calling a slut I'm his girlfriend?!" I didn't even say anything I just hit her in the jaw. She fell to the floor and started to cry. "Baby..." Don't baby me AJ its over!! I thought you changed. I let you back in to my life and you just tore it up again. Kevin I want to go home now." I walked away from everyone and went out to the car. Kevin looked at AJ and shook his head. Kat and Howie just stood there and watched me and Kev leave. AJ was dumb struck. He walked out and left his date at the club.

~u say I'll take you back
But I closed the door
'Cuz I don't want
10,000 more~

The ride home was a quit one. I just wanted to go to bed and forget this day ever happened. Pulling in to the garage Kevin got out of the car. Running around he opened the car door to let me out. We walked up to the house and got in. "Amber..." I just put my hand up and went to my room. shutting the door I let my tears fall. I knew Kev would have me sit down and talk about what went on tonight. I just didn't want to do it right now. Falling on the bed I cried my self to sleep. Kev stayed up and cleaned the kitchen and the living room. He was so upset at what he saw. All this anger was building up and he needed to do something to get it out. He knew things would change in the group. Everyone loved me and loved the fact that I worked with the guys. Giving up Kevin went to his room and went to bed. I woke up later that night to someone pounding on the door. I started to get up and walk out. I stopped when I heard Kevs voice. Things went quite for a min then I heard AJ yelling at Kevin. I opened my door to see what was going on. " AJ I told you not to fuck things up with her! What were you thinking! You got the greatest girl in the world waiting here for you and you blow her off to have a one nighter?! YOUR A FUCKING MORON!" I cleared my throat to let them know i was there. Kevin turned to see me looking at them. My eyes were red from all the crying. I walked over to the door and got a good look at AJ. He looked like he went through hell and back..but then again so had I. I could smell the alcohol on him. "Kev would you leave me and AJ alone please?" After Kev was in his room I looked at AJ. "Can I come in so we can talk?" " No AJ I don't think that is a good idea. Say what you have to say and then go." rubbing his hands over his face he started to tell me how I couldn't leave him. That I hade to take him back. "That girl was nothing to me. A friend sent me up I didn't know that a girl would be at the club when I got there. Look I forgive you for hitting her and taking things the wrong way. Now let me in so we can talk." *Forgive me? What the fuck!!* "AJ you are a fucking bastard! and I got two things to say to you. One I QUIT!!! and two I never want to see you again. Its over for good!" I slammed the door in his face. I started to walk back to my room but I just couldn't make it. I felt like my heart was braking. I let my self fall the floor and cry. Before I knew what hit me Kevin was down on the floor holding me. After a few minutes when I had calmed down a bit he picked me up and took me to my room. He laid me down on the bed and got my night shirt and boxers. I was way to weak to change so he helped me. Helping me under the covers he kissed me on the cheek and started to go. "Kevin stay with me tonight. I....I just cant be by my self tonight. I'm scared of what my dreams will be." Sliding next to me on the bed he put his arms around me and pulled me to him. It didn't take long for me to go to sleep. I knew as long as Kevin was there I would make it through this.


The End
