Chapter Three
‘Hey Veronica----nothing much I didn’t feel well last night, but I’m better today-----well I don’t know if JC stayed over, why?’ She asked Veronica.

‘No reason. Hey I have to go Jive’s here so we’re going to out to breakfast. Talk to you later, ok?’ Veronica answered.

‘OK bye.’ Nikki hung up the phone, and answered the knock at the door.

‘Hey Nikki, how are you feeling to day girl?’ Mandy asked as she walked in with Matt.

‘Mandy I’m hungry, can we go and eat?’ Matt whined.

‘Stop your whining. You’re lucky I love you, or I wouldn’t put up with you.’ Mandy answered him.

‘Yeah I’m really lucky. I’m just kidding Mandy, I’m just kidding. You know I love you.’ Matt said putting his arms around her waist, and then kissing her.

‘HEY! Girl with no boyfriends here, don’t rub it in.’ Nikki joked

‘Sorry forgot about that. Matt, go and get us a table and I’ll meet you there, ok?’ Mandy asked.

‘I guess. Bye Nikki, bye Mandy.’ Matt said, closing the door behind him.

‘Now why were you so jumpy about JC last night?’ Mandy asked.

‘Well, see, umm… I think I still have feelings for him.’ Nikki told her, as she looked at the floor.

‘Nikki! Girl, you have to get over him! He hurt you, he said he didn’t love you when you told him how you felt
last time-‘ Nikki cut her off.

‘I know, I know. But I can’t help it.’ Mandy just looked at her.

‘Well Matt’s waiting for me so I have to go. I’ll call you later. Bye.’ Mandy closed the door. Nikki lay down and dozed off. She woke up in a cold sweat. JC was right next to her. His hair was wet and parts of his
shirt had damp spots on it.

‘Hey, you okay?’ JC asked.

‘Yeah, how did you get in here?’ She asked.

‘The door was open so I came in.’

‘Why was the door open?’ She asked

‘I don’t know Nikki, I don’t know.’ Just then the phone
rang.

‘Hey Nik It’s Justin. You and JC need to get to rehearsal. Now.’

‘Ok we’re coming.’ Nikki hung up the phone.

‘We need to get to rehearsal. Justin said to.’ She told JC.

‘OK let’s go. I’ll take you in my car.’

At The Sound Check

‘Hey Bobbie over here.’ JC yelled to her.

‘Hey Jase.’ She yelled back.

‘Bobbie, I need to talk to you. Alone.’

‘Ok.’ JC pulled into another room.

‘I wonder what they’re talking about?’ Veronica said she ran over to the door and listened.

‘V! your bad! But let me know what’s going on.’ Danay half-yelled, half-whispered to her.

‘JC… why?’ Bobbie asked through tears.

‘Because.. well, I think I love someone else and I’m not the type to cheat. So I had to tell you.’ JC answered.

‘But JC, you said you loved me.’

‘I know. But feelings change… I’m sorry, but I don’t love you anymore.’ He said. Veronica heard someone moving to the door.

‘Ok, here is what happened. I’m telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. JC broke up with Bobbie.’ Veronica said.

‘We knew that. Justin said he would.’ Danay answered.

‘Bobbie asked “Why JC?”, she was crying… I could tell. And then JC said “ Because I think I love someone else and I’m not the type to cheat so I had to tell you.’ And then Bobbie was like. “But JC you said you loved me.’ And after that JC was all like “ I know but feelings change I’m sorry I don’t love you anymore.” And that was it, girls.’ Veronica finished.

‘Sounds way to familiar.’ Nikki thought. JC came out of the room he looked at Nikki and she looked back.
