"I'm so sorry I made you leave the party Justin. If you want to you can go back. I won't mind really." Leeny choked out.
"Don't be silly. I can't leave you alone at a time like this. What do you say you come to my room instead and we can have some coffee and talk."
"I couldn't impose. Besides I think I need to be alone right now."
"I insist. I don't think it's a good idea to be alone and sulk about this. We could just talk about other things to get your mind off of this whole thing."
"Alright. But I'm going to go change and stuff first. I'll meet you in your room."
"Ok. I'll see you then." Justin gave her a kiss on the cheek, got off the elevator and walked triumphantly to his room.
*In AJ's Room*
"I don't know why we had to leave the party early AJ. I was having fun." Amanda complained.
"I told you, I don't feel good. You can go back to the party if you want to. No one told you to come with me."
"I just wanted to make sure you got here safe." Amanda lied. She just wanted to make sure he wasn’t really meeting Leeny or anything like that.
"Well I'm here, so why don't you go back to the party now?" AJ asked holding the door open and motioning her to leave.
Amanda hesitated but then seeing Leeny she smiled wickedly. "Isn't that Leeny?"
AJ looked out the door to see Leeny go into Justin's room. His blood boiled when he saw Justin put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on his door. Amanda walked out of the room and laughed. "See you when I get back sweetie."
AJ paced around his room in anger. He couldn't believe she was going to spend the night with him. He couldn't believe that Justin would take advantage of her in her vulnerable state. Feeling rage he grabbed his coat and went downstairs to the bar.
*At the MTV Party*
"Have you seen my sister?" Nick asked Kevin and Kenzie.
"No, not since her and Justin stopped dancing. Maybe she left." Kevin answered.
"I don't know. She told me she would tell me before she left. It's getting kind of late for Sandrea so I think I'm going to get a cab to take us home."
"Alright man. I'll see you tomorrow then."
Nick and Sandrea walked towards the exit watching passing people but still no sign of Leeny. They saw Britney and Brian leaving also. They both looked pretty bombed already but Nick decided to ask them any way.
"Hey Britney, have you seen my sister?"
Britney nodded and staggered to Nick. "Yeah, her and Justin left a while ago. I guess she had a fight with AJ and she came crying to Justin so he could take her home. And do you know what Justin said that was so funny? He said he was going to get it on tonight." Britney slurred and laughed. She was obviously way too drunk to realize what she was saying.
Nick sent a worried look to Sandrea. "Thanks a lot Britney." They ran to catch a cab.
*Justin's Room*
Justin checked out Leeny who was wearing pink pajama pants and a tight white tank top. He couldn't believe that she could look good even when she was dressed sloppy and she had no makeup on. Justin was wearing a pair of sweat pants and a wife beater. Leeny thought he looked weird in a wife beater. She pictured AJ in one, his beautiful toned stomach showing through the thin material. Remembering what happened earlier she pushed AJ out of her mind.
"So, do you want to watch some TV?" Justin asked.
"Yeah, sure."
Justin turned on the TV and put it on some HBO movie. He took a seat right next to Leeny and put his arm around her shoulders. She noticed for being so shy he didn't keep his hands to himself. They sat in silence for a while just watching the movie. Leeny could feel Justin's eyes on her the whole time. As she turned to talk to him he brought his lips down to hers and kissed her. She returned the kiss until she felt his hand go up her shirt. Pulling away she saw a smile on Justin's face.
"What's wrong?" He asked innocently.
"I thought we were going to talk?"
"We can talk later," he pulled in and kissed her again pulling at her pants.
"Justin… stop… that," Leeny cried in muffled gasps.
Justin was on top of her jabbing his tongue down her throat and pulling her pants down. Leeny kicked and writhed under his weight but it was useless. He kept her pinned and he tore her pants off. She was able to escape his kiss however and let out one blood-curdling scream. Justin slapped her and put a hand over her mouth. He kissed and sucked at her neck. Her small fists pounded on his back but it did not stop him. Suddenly a pair of strong hands grabbed Justin by his shirt and swung him off of her.
Leeny sat up to see AJ pounce on Justin. His fist connected with Justin's jaw sending a loud noise throughout the room. Leeny screamed as AJ gave Justin hit after hit. Startled by Leeny's scream AJ turned and looked at her.
"Please AJ stop. You're scaring me." Leeny whispered.
Justin was on the floor moaning with his hands on his face. Blood poured out of his nose and his lip. Hearing the pleading tone in her voice AJ got up and went to her. Her hair was messed up and her cheeks stained with tears that seemed to be permanent these days. One strap of her tank top was busted and she was in her underwear. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her almost naked body. AJ lifted her off the couch and carried her over Justin's body and to his room next door. Setting her on the couch he wrapped his arms around her shaking body. Her breaths were coming out in short gasps and AJ could feel the irregular fast beat of her heart.
"I should have listened to you AJ," she whispered. "How could I have been so stupid? It's all my fault."
"Shh," AJ silenced her putting a finger to her trembling lips. "This is not your fault. He's the ass hole here. Not you." He sat up to get her a pair of his pants or something but she grabbed his hand.
"Please don't leave me AJ."
AJ nodded and sat back down. He took off his dress shirt and put it on her. Buttoning it all the way down. It was long on him so it came down all the way past her knees. She rested her head on his shoulder and cried herself to sleep. He held her tightly remembering how good it felt to touch her and hold her. Half asleep she climbed onto his lap and nestled her head in between his neck and shoulder wrapping her arms around his waist. He caressed her hair and fell asleep himself.
*In the Lobby*
Nick and Sandrea raced for the elevators but were mobbed by fans. The security guards tried to pry them off but it was no use. They spent a good ten minutes trying to get out of there. When the elevator finally reached the penthouses Nick and Sandrea ran to Justin's room. The door was open and Justin was sitting on the floor looking dazed. Nick ran into the room.
"Where the hell is my sister?"
"Don't ask me. Ask your phsyco friend AJ."
Nick and Sandrea looked at each other confused and went to AJ's room. Nick opened the door to find Leeny sleeping in AJ's arms.
"AJ, wake up." Nick whispered so he wouldn't wake up Leeny.
AJ woke up and saw them staring at him weird. He told them everything that happened. Nick thanked him for taking care of her and carried her back to their room. When they left AJ stayed sitting there, the feel of her warm body on his lap still there.
