» CHAPTER TWO «

We arrived at the club to see about fifty or sixty cars in the parking lot.

"Damn Ash, I don't know all of these people!" I said as I opened my car door and got out to meet her and the guys.

"Between you, me and the guys... Trust me you do!"

"Okay... Whatever ya say... Let's get this show on the road!" We walked into the club to see about 100 people! All of them I knew whether it be friends or famous faces.

"Come on... I'll introduce ya," AJ said as he placed his hand on the small of my back to lead me over to a group of people. "Sky, these guys here are from Britain you might know them as 5ive. J, Scott, Rich, Abs, Sean... meet Sky. They all said their welcomes as I just stood there stunned. AJ's arm around me gave a little push and brought me back to reality.

"Oh...uh... hi?" I said with a small laugh at my stupidity. I quickly said bye as AJ lead me off for more introductions.

An hour later I had succeeded in merting Nsync, Britney Spears, 702, Destiny's Child, Puff Daddy, and many many others. All the while getting on the dance floor and grinding with AJ to "Too Close" performed by Next. Let me tell ya. That boy can dance!! I also had time to catch up with some old friends that Ash flied out from California. One of my closest friends Derek just got a major roll for a musical in Orlando and will be staying with me for about six months.

AJ walked and I back to our booth we grabbed with two cokes in his hands. Handing one to me he sat down on the opposite side.

"You ready to get outta here?" he asked as he chugged his coke.

"Damn dude... thirsty?"

"Ya think? So are ya?"

"Yeah... I've had enough partying for one night," I said as I took a sip of my drink and stood, walking for the exit. I walked up to Derek and gave him directions to my house so he could continue to party. AJ and I walked out to our cars.

"Ya wanna come over for a while?"

"Yeah sure," he said as we got in our rides and drove off.

We arrived at my house about five minuets later. "You want a tour?"

"YEAH!! This house is huge!"

"Oh wait till ya see the rest of it!" I said as I showed him the kitchen which connected to the dining room. Walking back out of the kitchen I went into the living room. Then down to the basement and showed him the game room. Then we went to the back yard. Next I took him up stairs and showed him the TV room and 3 spare rooms which were decorated differently. Then last I showed him my room. He looked around my room for a moment then started for the door.

"Let's go watch some TV," he said as he headed down the hall. Walking into the TV room I saw that he had Cruel Intentions playing. I sat down and started watching. "Sky... tell me more about you."

"Well everything I said in L.A. is mostly my life... What do ya wanna know?"

"Well... how's your life been going? What's your favorite color? Ya know you never told me that. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"My life's been going really well. Black. No."

"Good..." he said as he slowly leaned over and captured my lips with his. He moved his tongue across my lips asking for permission to enter. Moaning my lips parted and let him in. His hands moved up my waist under my shirt taking it with him.

"AJ stop..."

"What-"

"I can't..." I said as tears filled my eyes. I quickly ran out of the room and down the hall.

"Sh*t!" AJ said as he saw me leave. He quickly go up to follow me. Quietly knocking on my closed door he turned the knob to be greeted by my sobs. He walked up to my figure curled up in a ball on my bed. He sat down on the edge and gently rubbed my back hoping to bring comfort. "Sky... hun? What's wrong?"

"Sorry... I just kinda freaked." We sat in silence for a while until I suddenly broke it. "I was raped back in L.A." He just looked at me urging me on. "I was 12 years old... His name was Jim. He was a friend of my dad’s. He was over for business and my dad got an urgent call. Saying that he'd be right back he left Jim there. Well he walked into my room while I was sleeping, and ..." By this time my sobs became stronger. AJ just held me. "I remember waking to him inside me and it was the worst felling in the world. I tried to make him stop but the more I tried the more he hurt me. I yelled and screamed but it didn't help. Then he just left me there crying on my bed." I looked up into AJ's eyes to see a tear fall. That just made it harder for me to stop crying.

"Did you tell anyone?"

"No... you're the first one. I thought that he'd hurt me if I told so I kept in to myself." AJ just looked at me then pulled me into another hug.

"We can take this as slow as you want. I won't rush you," he said as he sang me to sleep in his arms.
