Sky was woken by Jem jumping on the bed yelling loudly “Wake up sleepyhead, tell me everything that happened last night, everything that was said, and every little look.”
“Oh you don’t know I thought for sure you would be spying on us from the top of the stairs.” Sky remarked sarcastically.
“Give me a little credit Sky, plus I couldn’t hear very well you guys were talking too low,” Jem admitted a little embarrassed.
“I knew you would at least try”, Sky smirked.
“Alright already tell me what happened!!”
“Nothing really we are just going to hang out today after his photo shoot and he gave me Brian’s number because he wants to catch up”, Sky said.
“Oh so you have a date with him,” Jem joked.
“No, idiot it isn’t a date he is just going to show me around that is all, plus he has a girlfriend”, Sky remarked agitated at the fact of AJ having a girlfriend.
“So what time is he coming over to get you?” Jem asked.
“Around one o’clock, shit what time is it?”
“Eleven thirty, I think”, Jem replied.
“Well I guess I better get up and get ready, I am going to take a shower”
“Okay, I am going to run over to the grocery store, I guess I will talk to you later then, have fun.” Jem said excited to see how happy her friend was even though Sky didn’t want to admit it.
Sky stood in a towel rummaging through her closet, deciding on what she was going to wear as the phone rang.
“Hello?” Sky said hoping it wasn’t AJ canceling their plans.
“Hey it is me I forgot the house key can you go and open the door I’ll be home any minute”, Jem said into her cell phone.
“Sure, see ya in a few minutes.”
Sky hung up the phone, and sat on her bed wondering why she was so worried about AJ canceling their plans. “What is my problem, he is my best friend and he has a girlfriend, God I have to snap out of it, we are just friends and that is all we will ever be”, she convinced herself.
Just then she heard the doorbell, “Shit I forgot to unlock the door for Jem she’s going to kick my ass.”
Sky quickly ran down the steps still in her towel. As she opening the door as she said “Sorry Jem I just forgot…….”
When the door swung open she discovered that it wasn’t Jem…..
“Nice towel,” AJ replied staring as a huge smile spread across his face.
“A little early aren’t you?” Sky replied quietly.
AJ couldn’t help but stare at the way the towel wrapped around her beautiful body, accenting every curve. “Sorry, the shoot got done early, so I decided that I would just come straight over here, I’m glad I did”, he said teasing her.
“Haven’t you ever heard of a thing called a phone?” she asked. “Well I am going to go and get dressed, I’ll be down in a sec.”
“Need any help?” AJ asked jokingly.
“No I think I can handle it.”
About 15 minutes later Sky emerged from her bedroom wearing a pair of tan flared cargo pants, a black tank top with a dragon on it, and a pair of black military boots, her hair was pulled back in a clip. She took one last look at herself in the hallway mirror as she ventured down the steps. She walked quietly into the living room to discover AJ sitting on the couch watching MTV singing to himself while he bobbed his head to the beat of the music. Sky couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh I didn’t hear you come down the steps,” AJ replied as embarrassed as he was startled.
“K, I am ready where are we going?” Sky asked trying to be serious.
“I figured we could hit Mac Daddy’s then go to the mall, how does that sound?”
“Sounds good to me, let’s go.”
After they were done eating and shopping they decided to go back to
AJ’s house to hangout for a bit. They sat on the couch and reminisced about the old days and what AJ and the fellas had been up too. AJ asked her how school was and how her family was. They were having a wonderful time, just laughing and talking.
“Can I ask you something AJ?”
“Sure you know you can ask me anything” AJ replied noticing how serious her tone of voice had become.
“We were best friends right?” ,Sky asked.
“Yeah Sky you are my best good friend, you should know that!” AJ said confused at where the conversation was going.
“Then why the hell didn’t you keep in touch? I gave you my address and phone number when I moved so you can’t use that as an excuse. Six years AJ and all I got was one letter. No phone calls, no birthday cards, nothing” Sky said feeling herself getting mad with every word she spoke.
“The phone works both ways you know, same with the mail. Yeah, I did move but I had all my mail forwarded to my new address. You can’t blame that all on me it was you too.” AJ said feeling hurt that she was putting all the blame on him.
“What are you talking about I wrote you letters for 3 years and I never got an answer, I sent you pictures, birthday cards, everything……after awhile I just figured that you didn’t care about our friendship, that you had more important things to do.” Sky said as she felt the hurt from all the unanswered letters come back to her.
“I never got any of those letters Sky I swear I didn’t.”
“Well, you know it doesn’t matter anyway, I mean if you really cared you would of wrote, you would of called to see why I hadn’t got in touch with you for so long, for all you knew I could have been dead. What do you think that you are to good for me now because you are a Backstreet Boy, and girls faint at the very sound of your voice?” She said loudly.
“Why are you being such a bitch?” AJ said as he started to lose his temper.
“Me, a bitch, please AJ give me a break, yeah I’m the bitch, why because I don’t kiss your ass like every other girl you meet? We need to get one thing straight I don’t give two shits that you are a Backstreet Boy, you will never be anything more to me than a little boy who use to come to me crying every time he saw a bug, every time he fell of his bike, and every time he didn’t get his own way. I never did anything to you but be your shoulder to cry on. So fuck you AJ, FUCK YOU!” She could feel the tears swelling up, she needed to get out of there she didn’t want him to see how hurt she was.
“I can’t believe you just said that, how can you stand there and say all those things and still consider me a friend?” AJ yelled amazed at what he had just heard.
“You don’t know the first thing about friendship”, she said as she picked up her bag and stormed out of the house.
AJ ran out onto the porch yelling “Sky where the hell are you going, how are you going to get home?”
“Don’t worry about it I am calling a REAL friend,” she said as she
walked down the street pulling out her cell phone and Brian’s
number.
