Jen looked at AJ who was laying on the bed, lost in deep thought. Nick hadn't come home yet and Jen knew what had gone down at the meeting and was sure that he wasn't taking this well at all. Jen didn't even know that they were going to tell Nick what they did and if she did, everything would have gone down differently.
"AJ," Jen said looking at the floor.
"Huh?" AJ said looking at Jen.
"Did you have something to do with what happened today?" Jen asked keeping her eyes on the floor.
"No I didn't, I swear," AJ said.
"I just thought that maybe something I might have said made you think that I wanted him out."
"Jen, I would have talked to you first."
"Alright," Jen said never looking at AJ. He got off the bed and walked over to Jen. AJ put his hand on Jens' chin and lifted her face to look at him.
"Look, I didn't know what was happening until it was too late. I honestly had nothing to do with any of this. I would have talked to you first," AJ said and lightly kissed Jen.
"Okay good," Jen said and turned her head.
"What's wrong?" AJ said putting his arms around Jen and waited for Jens responce.
"Nothing AJ, nothing. I'm just thinking."
"Bout what?"
"Nothing, I just need to get my thoughts straight, alright?"
"Okay, I'm gonna go to bed. Don't stay up to late alright?"
"Don't worry I won't," Jen said walking away from AJ and towards the stairs. Jen still couldn't believe that the guys did what they did. Jen felt she should have taken part in the decision. It did effect her life more than anyone else. Sometimes she wished she never met Nick. Jen sighed as she remembered how she met Nick.
*Flashback*
"Come on Jen, you'll have so much fun," Jen's best friend Diana said trying to get Jen to go inside the night club with her.
"Diana, I've got things to do in the morning," Jen complained.
"You're coming inside weather you like it or not and that's it," Dian said pulling Jen inside with her. Jen sighed and Diana ran off to find a guy to 'play with' for tonight. Diana's aunt owned the club and they girls were allowed to come in as long they didn't drink.
Jen walked over to an empty stool at the bar and sat down. She sighed as she looked around the room. She wasn't like Diana, she couldn't just walk up to any guy and have him falling all over her.
"Hey, look at her, she's hot," Nick said looking over at Jen who was sitting alone.
"And probably too old for you," AJ said.
"I don't know, she looks kinda young to me," Nick said arguing AJ's point.
"You're the only one here younger than 21 so give it up man," AJ said.
"I'm gonna talk to her," Nick said ignoring AJ's comments.
"I bet you 20 bucks, she turns him down," AJ said looking at Kevin.
"You got it," he answered.
Nick waled toward Jen who wasn't really paying much attention to anything. He took a deep breath and tapped Jen on her shoulder. She turned to face him.
"Hello, my name is Nick, and your's is?"
"Jen."
"Nice to mee you Jen. You with anyone tonight?"
"Just my best friend who's around here somewhere."
"You got a boyfriend?"
"Nope, I'm single."
"Cool, so how old are you?"
"19, I know that's too young to be in here, but my friends aunt owns this place so she lets us come in and hang out," Jen explained.
"I'm 19, V.I.P., that's how I got in."
"Cool at least your not 29 or something cause that would just freak me out." Nick laughed and smiled at her.
*End Flashback*
Jen was awakened from her dream of the night she and Nick met when she heard a loud noice. She shot up from the couch and walked to the back door where she heard the sound. When she got there, she saw Nick and he looked like he had been drinking.
"Nick," Jen said.
"What?" Nick yelled.
"Were you drinking?" Jen asked softly.
"So what if I was? I'm outta here any way, you don't have to worry any more."
"Nick, I didn't know they were gonna say that to you, but yo can stay if you like. It's your choice."
"Please, you were probably the one that went crying to them, telling them you want me out. So don't give me your shit Jen."
"I'm serious."
"Whatever."
"Nick, you shouldn't be drinking, especially since you're trying to stay calm. Go get some sleep and we'll talk in the morning when you've sobered up."
"I don't want to talk anymore. I know you're just going to tell me to leave so it's not even worth any more."
"We're going to talk in the morning," Jen said sternly.
"No we're not cause I'm gonna be gone by then."
"Nick..."
"Shut up Jen, just shut up!"
"No Nick, why don't you shut up for a change?" Jen yelled. That's when Nick lost it and pushed Jen onto the floor. She whimpered in pain as Nick put his foot on her stomach.
"And you wondered why I never loved you. You turned me into this. It's your fault Jen and you're going to do this to AJ too," Nick said holding her down.
"Get off of her," AJ yelled pushing Nick up against the kitchen wall, "What the hell is wring with you? She's pregnant!"
"Get off of me," Nick said struggeling to break free from AJ.
"No," AJ said tightening his grip, "Jen are you okay?" She could only respond with a soft whimper of pain.
"AJ..." Nick began to say.
"Nick could you do this? Damn it, you know she's pregnant!" AJ yelled.
"She forced it on herself."
"Just get out Nick," AJ said letting go of him.
"Fine," Nick said leaving the house.
"Are you alright?" AJ said kneeling down next to Jen who was crying. "I'm going to take you to the hospital," AJ said picking up Jen. She just cried in his arms.
