~Chapter 11~ It's been three days since A.J. lost his memory.  I finally started to get used to the fact that he didn't remember anything and I finally stopped blaming myself.  A.J. started to remember a little bit but not much.  The doctor said that he will eventually remember everything.  It could just happen out of nowhere.  I was really hoping that it would be soon.  We only had 4 more days together.  I called in work and took more time off and did the same for school.  So did everyone else.  We wanted to be there for him.  I went to see John every once in awhile.  It was really nice to see him again.  When I couldn't handle being around A.J. I would go and talk to John.  That may sound childish to just leave when I couldn't handle being around him, but I just didn't know what to do.   I went out for my usual walk and when I got back into the room I saw that A.J. was finally awake. "Why good morning sleepy head!  It's nice to see you up in the morning instead of the afternoon."  I said.  A.J. just rolled his eyes.  "What's with you?"  "I think you should know."  A.J. said. "What are you talking about?"  I was really confused.  ~What's his problem?~  I thought.  ~Unless.....~ "A.J. what day is it?"  I asked walking over to him. "What are you talking about?  Will you stop trying to change the subject.  And don't play dumb with me because you know what I'm talking about." "A.J. answer the question!"  I yelled. "Tuesday?"  he said "Oh my god!!!!  You're back!"  I yelled.  I gave him a big kiss.  He pulled away awhile later looking  at me like I was crazy. "Lacey what is up with you?"  He asked. "A.J. you had amnesia for like 4 days!  You hit your head and fell in the pool and Brian and I found you and Brian saved you.  Oh god I am so glad you're back."  "Wow I thought that was all a dream."  He said.  Then he looked mad again.  "Well that still doesn't explain why you were all over some guy."  He said.  He got up and walked to the door.  "But I really don't want to talk to you right now.  I'm really confused right now and I just want to talk to someone I can trust." "A.J. if you walk out that door I swear to god I will never speak to you again."  I said. He shut the door.  "What?"  He started to say.  "Do you really expect me to listen to you after all that I have been through?"  He sat down on the couch next to me. "All that you have been through??!!"  I said.  "I'm sorry A.J. but I have been through just as much as you have.  Maybe more." "Prove it." "You don't know what it is like to love someone so much, but not have them love you back because they don't know who the hell you are.  To not be able to hold them and tell them that you love them, and not have them do the same for you.  To blame yourself 24/7 for your accident.  Which I still blame myself.  I have missed you so much yet you were sitting there right in front if me.  You've been though a lot?  I think I can say that I have been through a lot as well."  I had tears streaming down my face.  A.J. was staring at the floor. "Well..."  He started to say. "I'm not done yet.  And for your information that was my brother John!  That is disgusting even thinking about flirting with my own brother.  I can't believe that you would think that I would cheat on you.  I'm leaving now.  I really don't feel like talking to you anymore."  I started walking to the door.  I was too damn mad and upset to talk to him anymore. ~Chapter 12~ A.J. softly grabbed my arm.  He took me into his arms and just held me for god knows how long.  I started to cry again. "I'm so sorry Lacey."  He said.  He kissed the top of my head.  "I messed up big time." I sighed.  I wanted to be mad at him for thinking I was cheating on him but I just couldn't. "God I've missed you."  I said.  He lifted up my chin and kissed me. "Well I'm here now."  He said soothingly.  A.J. held me in his arms for about 20 minutes. I'm sure we would have stayed that way but there was a knock at the door.  I whipped the tears off my face while A.J. went to answer it. "Hey Rok."  A.J. said.  He let Brian inside. 'Hey how's it goin?"  He looked over at me and then back at A.J.  "OK what have I missed?"  We both smiled. "Well hun would you like to tell him or should I?"  A.J. asked. "Hun?  You haven't called her that in a long time.  And you haven't called me Rok in a long time either!  Hey you got you memory back didn't you?" "Yes I did."  He replied. "Thank god."  I said and collapsed down onto the couch. "Wait so what day is it?"  A.J. asked. "Friday."  Brian answered. "Damn it!  So you're leaving tomorrow Lace?  Well this really sucks!"  I could tell that A.J. was getting mad. "No I'll be here for about 4 more days.  All of us will.  We weren't sure when you were going to get better." "Good!  Now we can be together longer."  I got up and gave him a hug. "Don't you ever leave me again."  I said.  "I love you." "I love you too."  He kissed me but not for long.  Brian coughed. "Still here.  he said.  "I know you guys have a lot of catching up to do but don't you think that you should go tell everyone else that you're back?"  "I have an idea."  I said.  "Why don't you do that while we stay here." "Oh you always have the best ideas Lacey."  He said sarcastically.  He was half way out the door when he turned around and saw us kissing again.  "I hope you two get stuck like that!"  A.J. kicked the door shut in Brian's face.  "Thank you!" he yelled  and he walked off.  I started to laugh.  That was one thing I haven't done in a long time.  It felt pretty good. ~Chapter 13~ "Well it's nice to have you back Bone."  Nick said.  We were all back in Brian and Alison's room.  "Yeah it was so weird.  You were so quiet and you hardly said anything at all."  Jenny added.  "I thought it was all a dream.  I don't remember much of it though.  Was I really out of it?"  A.J. asked. "Oh yeah."  I answered.  He wrapped his arm around me.  He could tell that I didn't really like talking about all of this.  What I really wanted to do was put this all behind me.  Just thinking of  loosing him again broke my heart.  I don't think I could take it again.  I rested my head on his shoulder just listening to them all talk.  There were about 3 or 4 different conversations going on at once.  I would listen to one and then say a few things and then just listen to another conversations.  A.J. looked at me for awhile.  I hadn't noticed at first but then when I looked up at him he smiled.  I weekly smiled back at him. "Hey what's wrong?"  He whispered. "Nothing."  I said.  Nothing really was wrong.  If there was something wrong I wouldn't have known it.  I was just being quiet. "Are you sure?"  He asked. "Yeah."  I answered.  He kissed me on the top of my head.  Then I remembered that I was supposed to meet John outside the hotel to say good bye to him since he was going to leave tomorrow mourning. "Oh shit."  I said and headed for the door.  "I forgot to meet John.  I hope he is still out there.  Oh and your coming with me."  I said to A.J.  We both walked out the door and saw John walking off the elevator. "John I am so sorry I forgot all about it."  I said. "Oh nice to know that you forgot about me."  he said sarcastically.  "And this would be..." He said pointing at A.J. "Oh yeah John this is my boyfriend A.J., A.J. this is my brother John." "Hey."  they both said and shook hands. "So how are you doing?"  John asked A.J. "Better."  he answered. "That's good you sure did give Lacey a scare."  He looked at me.  "Sorry Lace I have to go already.  I need to get some sleep." "OK.  Have a nice trip home."  I said and gave him a hug. "You be good to her."  He said to A.J.  "Or you'll be hearing from me."  he smiled. "Don't worry.  She's in good hands."  AJ said wrapped his arm around me.  John got into the elevator and waved.  The doors closed and he was gone. "See?  Brother.  Not some other guy I was flirting with.  BROTHER!"  I said. "Yeah yeah ok.  I'm sorry hun."  I kissed him on the cheek. ~Chapter 14~ For the next 4 days A.J. and I were practically joined at the hip.  Everyone got sick of us because we were always kissing and say sweet nothings.  Every time we would kiss or do something like that, one of them would make gagging noises.  We did it even more just to make them all suffer.  We had a lot of fun doing it.  Too bad tonight we had to leave. *At the Air Port* "I'm going to miss you."  I said.  The tears were rolling down my cheeks.  It was last call for boarding.  We were trying to stay off the plain as long as we could. "Hey I'll see you soon."  A.J. said.  He kissed me and I turned to leave.  I had already said my good-byes to the other guys.  A.J. was the hardest one.  Alison, Clarissa, Jenny, Rachel, and I all walked onto the plain slowly, looking back at those sad faces.  That made me feel even worse.  We got into our seats with Rachel and Clarissa on each sides of me and Jenny and Alison were a row behind us.  None of us felt like talking at the moment.  10 minutes later the plain taxied and then were up into the air, leaving the guys behind. ----------------- "This really sucks."  Brian said as they headed to their limo. "You can say that again."  A.J. said. "This really sucks."  Nick said with a smirk on his face. "Funny."  A.J. said.  He pulled something out of his pocket.  It was a black velvet box. "Hey Bone what's that?"  Howie asked.  A.J. opened the box.  They all smiled. "Hey why didn't you ask her?"  Kevin asked. "It wasn't the right time."  A.J. replied.  "Believe me I really wanted to, but it didn't feel right.  I'll ask her when we get back home."  They all got into the limo and went back to there empty hotel rooms.
