~Chapter 7~
*The next day*
I couldn't sleep all night. I laid on the couch watching TV. It hurt to find Troy with Kristine together. I really hate her. Lauren walked into the room and saw me lying there.
"You look like shit." she said.
"Thanks." I grumbled.
"Well she is right." Michelle said standing next to Lauren.
"You didn't get any sleep did you? What's wrong this time?"
"Why does something always have to be wrong? I just couldn't sleep." I answered.
Michelle looked at Lauren and said, "You know something is wrong."
"I found Troy kissing Kristine last night. I went and told Brian but he didn't believe me and now he is pissed at me." I said.
"Oh great." Lauren said. "So now what are you going to do?"
"I want to see how long Troy is going to lie to me." I answered.
"You're going to stay with him?" Michelle asked surprised.
"No. I'm going to talk to him today. I'm going to make him swet a little bit." There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Lauren said. "Oh hi Troy." She said when she opened the door.
"Hey can I talk to Amy?" he asked. She looked at me and I shook my head yes.
"Sure come on in."
"Ummm Lauren we have to go work on that project." Michelle said.
"What project?" she asked.
"You know that project that we have been working on."
"I don't remember any project."
"Just come on." Michelle pulled her into her room to leave us alone.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi."
"I was thinking that we could go and do something today. You know to make up for yesterday."
"What exactly did you do last night anyway?" I asked.
"Oh I went to a party with Sam." he answered. Sam is another one of Troy's stupid friends.
~Got ya!~ I thought.
"Wait you told me that you were going to do something with John."
"Oh.....well I meant Sam."
"Cut the crap Troy." I said. I was going to test him a little longer but got mad.
"What?" he asked.
"I saw you last night with Kristine."
"I wasn't with Kristine."
"Troy! I saw you so stop lying. How long have you been seeing her?"
"About a month." he answered.
"A month. Damn you! You could have just broken up with me it would have been a lot better. You ass hole! Get out I never want to see you again!"
I was so mad. I didn't mean to react that way. I was just so hurt and mad and confused at the same time. I just couldn't take it.
"All right I'm going." he said and started to walk out the door.
"Tell you're little girlfriend that she is the biggest bitch in the world. I can't believe she could hurt Brian like that."
He didn't say anything and left closing the door behind him. After he was gone Michelle and Lauren walked out of Michelle's room and into the living room.
"Amy?" Michelle said.
"What?"
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"What do you think? My boyfriend cheated on me for about a month. Now my best friend hates me because I was trying to tell him something that he didn't want to hear. Troy totally ruined my life."
~Chapter 8~
*About 3 hours later*
I had decided to go back to Brian's house and try to knock some sense into him. I walked into his house and saw him in the kitchen.
"What do you want?" he asked. "And can't you knock?"
"I've never knocked before. Sorry, just a habit." I said closing the door.
"Well?"
"Brian I really need to talk to you. Please if you would just listen."
"I don't want to listen to your lies Amy." he interrupted.
"I talked to Kristine today. She told me that you have been planning to break us up. I thought you were a real friend. But I guess not."
"Brian, no I would never do that to you. You know me better than that. Hell you know me more than I know myself!"
"I thought I did know you."
The tears rolled down my cheeks. I had lost my boyfriend and my best friend in the same day. It wasn't because of Troy. It was because of Kristine.
"Brian please you have to believe me."
"I'm sorry but I don't. Please......just leave."
I turned around and walked out the door. I didn't really know what to do. I had to find a way to make him realize that Kristine is fake. Both of our lives depended on it.
~Chapter 9~
I got into my car and started driving home. I had to find a way to have Brain catch Kristine in the act. But how?
"I got it!" I said out loud. I got my cell phone from out of my purse and dialed Kevin's number.
"Hello?" he said when he picked it up.
"Kev? Hey it's me. Can you get over to my apartment like now? And get A.J., Howie, and Nick over too."
"What's this all about?"
"You'll see." I hung up the phone and drove the rest of the way home with an evil grin.
*At the apartment. 5:45 PM*
"Why are we all here?" Nick asked.
"Because I need your help." I replied. Michelle and Lauren were there also.
"With what?" A.J. asked.
"Well Kristine is cheating on Brian and he won't believe me. So.......We are just going to have to show him."
"How are we going to do that?" Michelle asked. "It's not going to be as easy as you think Amy."
"Well that's why there is also a plan B."
"What's the plan?" A.J. said with a smirk.
"I'm glad you asked. Well we are just going to have to catch Kristine in the act. Kevin I am going to have you call Brian and make sure that he isn't going out with her tonight. If he isn't then I know that Kristine is going to be with Troy. Michelle you and I are going over to Kristine's so that we can warn the guys when she leaves and follow her to see where she goes."
"What am I going to do?" Nick interrupted.
"I'll get to that. Kevin you Howie and Lauren are going to take Brian to wherever Kristine and Troy end up. Then Nick you will help us out if this plan doesn't work. You will come with me and Michelle. You'll have a camera so you can take a few pictures of them together. So that we have proof if Brian ends up not seeing them together."
"You have this planned out well." Nick said.
"Ok so we should all split up and do our thing. I'll have my cell phone on me so that I can tell you when she leaves. Kevin don't forget to call Brian and make sure that he isn't going out with her tonight."
Kevin, Howie, and Lauren left for Kevin's house while Michelle, Nick, and I left for Kistine's.
~Chapter 10~
*15 minutes later. Outside of Kristine's house.*
"Well now what do we do?" Michelle asked.
"We wait for Kevin to call. She's home her car is there."
"What if Troy picked her up?" Nick asked.
"Well I guess we hope he didn't." The phone rang and I picked it up.
"Hello?........Good..........He did?.....Even better.........ok I'll call you.........Bye.."
"What did he say?" Nick asked when I hung up the phone.
"Kristine is home and she said that she is supposed to be going to work. Well she said that she was supposed to leave in 10 minutes but that was a half hour ago."
"Ok." he said.
10 minutes later Kristine left her house and walked down the road. She was walking in the park where I had seen her the night before. There was Troy waiting for her. I picked up my phone and dialed the number.
"Kev she's in the park with Troy! Get over there now!"
-----------
"Ok mom....I can't talk....Don't push it mom.....I'll talk to you later. Bye." Kevin hung up his cell phone and looked at Brian. "What do you guys say that we go for a little walk?" he asked. "How about in the park?"
"But it's dark." Brian said. "And it's 10 minutes away."
"But it's really pretty out there at night." Howie said.
"Let's go."
-----------
"Kevin get your ass out here!" I said to myself. Nick was out there trying to take pictures. Hopefully that was working. Then I saw Kevin, Brian, Howie, and Lauren coming around the corner.
"Let's sneak over there." I said to Michelle. We got out of the car and slowly walked into the park. Brian saw Kristine with Troy and was pretty angry. We couldn't hear what he had to say. We were too far away. After awhile Brian walked away, walking right towards us.
"Brian." I started to say.
"Not now." he said and walked away.
"How come nothing ever works?" I asked. "I probably made everything worse."
"No you didn't." Kevin said. "He's just upset."
I was ignoring the fact that Kristine was standing there yelling a bunch of insults to all of us. ~oh go to hell Kristine~ I thought.
"Thanks for helping guys. We might as well go home."
~Chapter 11~
*Back at the apartment*
When we got into the apartment we saw that Brian was lying on the couch.
"Key." He said when he saw the looks on our faces saying "How the hell did you get in here?"
"Amy we need to talk." Brian said. Lauren and Michelle went into their rooms to leave us alone.
"Hey." I said sitting across the room from him. "What's up?"
"A lot." He replied. "I'm not very happy on how you made me realize that she really was cheating on me....."
"I know." I interrupted. "I just couldn't stand that she was going behind your back and how she hurt me by taking my boyfriend away. I knew there was something up with her. And I couldn't let her fool you like that. I love you and I just don't want you to get hurt like that. I know how it feels and it doesn't feel very good now does it?"
I just kept rambling on and on I wasn't thinking about what I was saying.
"Wait a minute." his face lit up. "What did you just say?"
"What do you mean? I said I don't want you to get hurt."
He stood up walking towards me and sitting next to me.
"You just said that you love me. You've never said that to me before."
"Oh....I did didn't I?" I answered.
~Oh my god did I just say that? Oh now this can't be good.~ I thought.
"Yeah......do you mean that?" he asked looking into my eyes. There was something different about the way he looked at me. He had looked at Kristine the same way before he found out what she had been doing for the past month.
"Well........Yeah....." I looked away. I knew he really didn't feel that same way. I didn't want this to effect our friendship. "I know you don't feel the same way." I said. "And that's ok."
"Who says I don't feel the same way? How long have you felt like this?"
"Well I guess for a while now but I only discovered that I actually do love you like 2 days ago."
"Well........this is kind of confusing." he said staring at the floor.
"I know. Now what do we do?"
"Well I would like to sleep on it. A lot has happened today. I don't really want to deal with this all tonight. How about I come over around 1 tomorrow?"
"Sure. I'll see you then."
He gave me a hug while saying, "Thank you for being a good friend. And I'll see you tomorrow and we'll work things out." He walked outside, got into his car and left. I went to bed to get some sleep.
~Chapter 12~
*The next day*
"So what happened last night?" Michelle asked. "He didn't stay very long."
"How do you know how long he stayed?" I asked
"Well I heard you go to your room like 5 minutes after I went into mine."
"Oh." I sat down on the couch and watched TV trying to keep my mouth shut about what happened between me and Brian. Well I can never keep my mouth shut you know. Unless I am sworn to secrecy.
"So?" Lauren earged. "What happened?"
"Well aren't we being nosy?" I said still staring at the TV.
"Come on we gotta know please?" Michelle begged.
"All right, all right! Now when he comes over today you can't say anything about it all right?"
"Yeah." they both said.
"Ok well I was rambling on like I always do when I am trying to explain myself so I said some things that I didn't really want him to hear."
"What did you say?" Michelle interrupted.
"Well I told him that I love him." Both of their mouths dropped open. They couldn't believe what they had just heard.
"See? I told you, you had a crush on him! Ha! I was right!" Michelle said.
"So what happened?" Lauren asked.
"He said that he would have to get back to me on that. He said that so many things had happened to him that day that he just needed some time to think. He is coming over today so we can talk."
"Well what time is he coming over?" Michelle asked.
"Well....." There was a knock at the door. "Right now I guess. So will you guys please leave? As much as I like having you around, I don't want you to be right now." So they left while I went to open the door.
"Hey." I said when I opened the door.
"Hey is Michelle here?" Kevin asked. Great it was only Kevin. I just about had a heart attack thinking that it was Brian and it ended up being Kevin. Not that I wasn't happy to see Kevin but I was just a little bit annoyed.
"Yeah she's in her room." I answered.
"Ok thanks. Oh and I talked to Brian last night. Heard what happened."
"And?" I asked hoping that he would tell me what Brian was going to do.
"Well I'm not supposed to tell. But don't worry about it. It's not really such a bad thing."
He walked into Michelle's room leaving me by myself.
~Not such a bad thing?~ I thought. ~If he said that then it had to be a bad thing.~ I closed the door and went on watching TV waiting for Brian. Then there was another knock at the door.
