After Teresa had slammed the door on J she stomped her way back to the couch. She was feeling resentful and hurt. Normally she felt just awful after she lashed out at someone, which happened now and then since she had terrible mood swings, but this time she didn't really. She felt sort of betrayed. Thoroughly depressed, she sunk into the couch. She felt her foot hit something and leaned forward to investigate. She grabbed the corner of a newspaper that was sticking out form under her couch, "Geeze, I wonder how long that's been under there collecting dust" she mumbled to herself, leaning back and unfolding it. Teresa Rae: Moving on To Fast? She immediatly recalled the article, although she'd never read past the captions. Just for kicks, she decided to read through it.

    Actress Teresa Rae who was recently chucked by fellow actor-in-the-spotlight Maxamillion showed up at the premiere party for 5ive's new album: Kingsize. Rae shocked the crowd by showing up hand in hand with J Brown (Five.) Rae seemed very hesitant to leave J Five when they separted to answer questions. I was lucky enough to get a nice chat with J and try to dig up the dirt! I started with simply asking if Teresa was a friend of the bands. I'd noticed she was quite chummy with the other lads also. J seemed to light up whenever Teresa's name was mentioned. "Yes, Teresa is a very good friend of the band. Teresa and I have known eachother for a long time. long before she was Teresa Rae and before I was in Five." J went on to say that Teresa was liek moral support for all the lads. "She's been with us from the start. She helps us all, I don't know what we'd do without her". Trying to ease my way into the juicy stuff I asked if they were here 'together' like on a date, "I wish" J chuckled. I went in for the big one and asked, "So, are you two aren't ...dating?" Yet, it seems that J Five believes Teresa Rae could do better for he only sighed, looking at Teresa, and mumbled more to himself than to me "If only I deserved her.."

   Teresa felt a tear slide down her cheek and as it hit her lips she felt the salty bitter taste of remorse. Simply reading the article reminded her of that night and how sweet the lads were to her and how J tried his best not to leave her side. J had always taken care of her. For a minute or two she just sat there, occasional tears falling, staring at the paper. After that she realized how stupid she was being. What godo was sitting there doing? She grabbed her keys, pocketed the paper, and went straight to her car.
   She didn't bother to check J's flat first, she drove straight to the tree. She didn't even stop when she got to the empty bench next to the 'sliding tree' she was about to drive off when she noticed the paper sitting on the bench. She didn't have to get out and check it to know that J had left it there. Next she went to his flat, but no luck. She drove to Sean's, Ritchie's, and Scott's too but he wasn't there and they had no clue where he could be. Only one 5ive guy left she thought to herself as she speeded to the last flat.

   Turns our that the first place J had though of was Abs's flat. He'd walked right in, not bothering to knock. He found Abs holding his girlfriend Whitney, watching a movie. "Oh, hey man. What's up?" Abs greeted him. "Hey J" Whitney smiled. "Hey..Uh...can I talk to you?" "Sure. Sunshine you mind leaving us guys alone for a man to man?" Whitney shook her head and started to get up, "Actually Abs...I was talking to Whitney"
   "Oh..well..right then" Abs said uncertainly. "I'll just...um, chill in my room"
   "Thanks" J sighed.
   "So what's up J?" Whitney asked once Abs had exited.
   "Well it's sort of-"
   "Wait, let me guess first! That's the fun part. Okay, it's got something to do with Teresa, that's a given. Hm...well you know what I never was good at this game, what's wrong with you and Teresa?"
   "Oh-kay..I don't know how you knew but you're right" Whitney smiled and nodded knowingly. J went on to explain everything. How he felt, about Maxamillion, and the scence earlier that morning.
   "Ouch J. I don't know why Teresa was so cold."
   "Well it's all for the best right?"
   Whitney raised her eyebrows, "Why would you say that? I mean, you and her have a long history with eachother"
   "It's not the same anymore. She's a big time actress now, I'm just J"
   "Uh, yeah, J Brown of 5ive, the biggest band int he UK and huge worldwide"
   "I guess" J said sulkily. Whitney said at him unbelievingly. Popstars she thought to herself. J continued, "Besides, I don't deserve her"
   It was then that Whitney noticed that Teresa was standing by the door, and had obviously let herself in and overheard. "Are you sure it's not the other way around?" she asked timidly. J whipped around and jumped up.
   "Teresa! Listen I'm so sorry-"
   "No I'm sorry I was-"
    "Whatever you thought because of the tabloids is-"
    "I read this article and-"
    "I just, It isn't true I swear I'd never-"
    The two of them were talking at once and surely neither of them could hear much of what the other was saying. Finally they synchronized themselves as they said together "I need you" They smiled at eachother and leaned it for a long, soft kiss.
   Abs ran in, "What hell is going on I heard all kinda of talking and-"
   "Will you be quiet? They are having a moment" Whitney said, all happy and floody-eyed.
    Teresa and J pulled apart just long enough to look into eachother's smiling eyes before they came back to there long awaited kiss.
