Emily grabbed her phone to call her best friend maria so she could tell her about the amazing night she just had with Alec. When she got her phone she dialed marias's number.
"Hello?" Maria answered.
"Maria! Emily yelled with excitement.
"Ugh...what do you want now?" Maria questioned making sure emily knew she was already annoyed.
"He KISSED me!" Emily giggled thinking about last night.
"WHAT! Really?" Maria blurted out in surprise.
"Yeah! before i left!" She said smiling to her-self.
"Tell me every thing!" Maria giggled.
"Okay it all started with a nice shopping spree, we took some awesome pics there, then we went for a nice walk in the park, then to rap it all we had a romantic moonlit dinner under the stars." Emily said remembering the beautiful night she had with Alec.
"LOMG! It sounds like you guys had fun." Maria said.
"Yeaaa we did, but um what happened to you yesterday? You just like ran off after our fight." Emily said sitting on the couch. She turned the television on to Dragon Tails while she waited for an answer.
"Well I just went home, and when I got here the room was a disaster so I just started cleaning and then me and Jeff got into the HUGE fight, but we settled it and he filled the tub with bubbles and water and-"
"Please, spare me the details Ria." Emily said quickly. She heard Maria laugh from the other end of the line. "Ok then so what are you doing today?"
"Well first i'm going to drop Caleb off at soccer practice then Jeff's going to Chris' house and then I have to tell him that his brother and sister are having a family reunion in three days. Janny was coming over, but she had to work. So I've decided to treat myself to an all expenses paid Spa trip." Maria tole her friend.
"Wow. Who's paying Jeff?" Emily asked.
"Yea, but he doesn't know he is." Maria smirked.
"Are you sure you wanna do that? Wat if he gets mad?" Emily asked with concern for her friend.
"If he gets mad then so be it, he gets mad." Maria told her. "Alright Em I have to go I'll talk to ya later. Alright."
"Alright. Buh-bye."
"Bye!" Maria said. Emily hung up the phone and walked into the kitchen and pulled a pan and some eggs, milk, and cheese. She went to the pantry and got out some pancakes and grits and she decided she was hungry.

Alec woke up to a clanging noise in his ear. He opened his eyes then jumped at the sight of his little cousin staring him down.
"Janny! What are you doing in here! Trying to give me a heart attack or something! And why are you wearing that?" He asked her.
"Ok um 1. I'm trying to wake you up, and 2. I'm wearing a suit you know those things that you go and do boring stuff in. U have one of those." Janny told him. She walked into his bathroom her heels clacking loudly along the way and she stood in front of the mirror fixing her long blonde hair. She smoothed out her jacket then looked back at Alec who looked majorly confused. "Alec get up we have to work today member you member!" janny yelled. Alec jumped out of bed fell on the floor and rushed into the bathroom and looked in the mirror pushing Janny aside. "Hey watch it cuz!" She yelled.
Alec started up the shower and looked at Janny. "Care to join me or what?" He asked noticing she hadn't left.
"I'd rather gauge my eyes out." Janny said leaving the room. Alec hopped in the shower. He stayed in for 25 minutes then got out and wrapped a towel around his waist. He stepped in front of the mirror and dried off his hair then it became all spiky. "OMG!" He was surprised at the spikiness. He grabbed a comb and began combing it down while he blow-dryed it. Soon it returned back to its shaggy dark brown feature. He did a quick shave then slapped on some after shave that smelled of essence (the red axe). He walked into his bedroom and pulled out some casual black pants and a green button shirt. He buttoned up only two buttons and left three unbuttoned. He made sure to let his chest show. He grabbed some black dress shoes and some black socks. When he had them on he grabbed his keys and walked down the twisting steps.
"Oh finally!" Janny exclaimed. "Now that your threw can we go?" Janny asked him.
"Uhhhhhh sure." He said. They walked to the door and once opened left the house to the two cars and drove off to work.

Ashley was walking backstage of the club where she worked. She was a stripper who made pretty darn good money -$1000 for every night she danced and $3000 for every guy she slept with. She brushed her hair looking into the mirror at her reflection. She had small amounts of glitter on her face around her eyes and on her chest. She was wearing a sexy red and black lingerie set that had fishnet stockings with holes in them to preform the punk goth girl look. She had dark eyeshadow on and red lipstick she truly looked like a hoe.
"Ashley! Ur on!" One of the guys yelled. Ashley got up and made her way onto the stage as the music started. When she reached the pole she placed one hand on it circling around it then she placed a leg around it throwing herself around the pole. She picked herself up on it and swung around upside down. She placed her hands on it opening her legs up in the air doing a split. She placed herself down on the ground and picked up a beer bottle and she poured it over herself. Her hair soaking and her mascara now running made her look even better. She looked out into the crowd and saw someone who looked very familiar. She heard the crowd start booing a little. She began dancing again slowly, but her eyes never leaving that face. Soon the figure came up closer to the stage and she could see him clearly. The person she saw was her son Alex's father. His name was Randy Kieth Kanellis.

The race was on. The fans were cheering loudly. His wife was in the crowd screaming for him cheering for him to win. He went around the corner in first place. The race car in second came up fast. He was so close to the finish line that he could feel it, breath it, live it. He looked in the rear view mirror and the 2nd place car was extremely close. Next thing it him and his car spun across the finish line and ran into a wall getting all banged up. The crowd gasped in awe and shock as they watched him stand on the top of the car and jump out in safety.
"CHRIS!" His wife screamed she hurriedly ran down from the crowd over to him and kneeled by his side. He was holding his shin in pain. "Oh Chris baby are you ok?" She asked her husband.
"Yea Jennifer I'm fine baby. I just need to go see a doctor thats it." Chris told his wife. Jennifer quickly called over one of doctors and they helped over to an ambulance. While Chris was being helped Jennifer quickly took out her phone and called someone that she dearly needed to speak to.
"Hello?" A voice said.
"Oh Maria hun is Jeff there I need to speak to him?" Jennifer cried.
"Um no i'm at the spa and he's at the track practicing for his next motocross." Maria told her friend.
"Oh well which one, the one in the back of the house or the one at this weeks stadium?" Jennifer asked.
"Backyard." Maria answered.
"Oh well could you do me a favor?" Jennifer asked.
"Sure." Maria replied.
"When you finish with your spa and when you get home can you please tell Jeff that Chris might've broken his leg today at the race." Jennifer said.
"OMG WAT! Is he ok?" Maria asked panicky.
"He says he is, but I don't know. Look I've gotta go i'll call you back later Ria. Bye." Jennifer hung up the phone and retreated back over to Chris.
Maria hung up the phone sighing. She laid back and tried to enjoy the rest of her spa treatment since it was almost over. Although she spent the rest of her spa treatment worrying about Chris. Once the treatment was finally over she went quickly to pick up Caleb then she went straight home.
"Jeff!" She yelled when she reached the backyard. The man on the red dirt bike came around the corner fast and stopped in front of her. He took out his helmet letting his blue, white, and green colored hair fall freely onto his back.
"Hey baby. Your looking sexier than normal. What did you do?" Jeff asked his fiance after sitting her down on his lap where she could face him. She placed her arms around his neck and smiled cutely.
'Welllll I had an all expenses paid spa trip today...using your credit card." She finished she put a kiddish smile behind it quickly when she saw the 'WTF B!' look on his face. "Ok ok before you say or DO anything I felt like I needed it and plus I didn't really think you'd mind and plus I deserved it after what you did to me!" Maria yelled her eyes filled with anger.
"Maria I swear I will run you over with this dirt bike!" Jeff threatened her. Maria shook her head in anger then slapped Jeff as hard as she possibly could. Jeff bit his bottom lip then slapped Maria and she fell off the bike. She whimpered in pain. Holding her cheek as Jeff grabbed her hair pulling her up to face him.
"You wanna try that again you little bitch! Huh huh!" He screamed at her. He punched her in the face four times bruising it. He threw her down on the dirt cutting her cheek. He stood on her throat and she grabbed at his leg trying to get him to stop.
"Please stop...i'm sorry. I'm sorry." Maria choked out. Instead he started punching her in the nose making her cry out in even more pain until she bled. She started scratching at him kicking at him crawling away her blood dripping on the ground he dragged her back pulling her up by the hair till she was standing. He had her by the wrist tightly.
"I bet that spa trip didn't do that much good now did it? Did it bitch!" He yelled. Maria was crying hard. She turned her head away from him. He let go of her wrist and she fell down. She wiped at her nose and looked at her hands. They were bloody. She looked at him. He just looked at her with a cold hard stare. She quickly got up and ran inside upstairs to her bathroom and turned on the water. She washed off her hands and splashed warm water on her face. She heard footsteps and she turned to see Jeff in the doorway.
"No please just stay away from me. Please! I'm sorry i'm sorry!" Maria screamed. Jeff quickly got down and covered her mouth. Her tears streaming down her face and her eyes full of tears.
"Shh before Caleb hears you." Jeff whispered.
"What! Don't you want your son to know the truth! That his father, the role model of his life, the man he looks up to is a woman abuser!" She yelled. Jeff just rolled his eyes at the red-haired woman.
"Look Maria I'm sorry ok. I just lost it a little. I swear I will never hit you like that again. I promise baby I promise."
"I can't trust you again Jeff. I just can't. I have to get out of here away from you. I'm not scared of what you might to do it it's just...Caleb and Aiden. What if you hurt them?" Maria asked. Jeff looked pale then he looked down to the floor.
"I'm sorry. I swear I will NEVER put my hands on you again. I swear." Jeff said not wanting to lose his family. Maria searched his eyes for the truth not wanting to leave the man that she gave everything to. Her baby daddy, the man she gave her virginity to. Living with him for as long as she hadshe was immune to his stupidity. She took the strong man into her eyes not believing she was falling for him again. She was falling in love with him again.

Emily was running for exercise. She did this every morning because she was a very healthy person. She ran 3 miles everyday. Listening to 'Don't Trust Me' on her ipod she ran all the way from her house to the city park and back to her house. She slowed down when she reached her house and jogged inside over to the telephone. She dialed in the code for messages and put it on speaker phone while she went and got some water from the fridge.
"Hey Em It's Ria! I'm just calling to check in on you. Call me when you get in cause we really need to talk. Ok um bye!" One of the messages said.
"Hey sister girl whats up look I got the call from Alec who got the call from Maria who got the call from Jennifer that MY Chris was in the hospital because he broke his leg! Lomg thats when i'm gonna make my move so i'll call you when Jennifer is gone and when i'm in! The ayatollah of rock and rolla shall be mine! Yow!" Janny's message played. Emily laughed a little.
"Uh hey Emily. Um look about last night when I kissed you if you got offended and thats why your not returning any of my calls then i'm really sorry and I was hoping that maybe we could talk about it tonight in person over dinner instead of over the phone. So uh, bye...i love you." Emily was a little confused at Alec's message. Those were the only messages that she had received. She thought to herself while walking upstairs to her room. She picked her cell phone (a black and green scoop) up and checked the missed calls.
"Oh boy." She said seeing all the missed calls from Alec, 7,. She sighed and thought about then sniffed her armpit. "Ew! I stink I can call him later!" She exclaimed. She set her phone down and walked into the bathroom. She started up some warm bath water and set out two candles out and lit them. She got a glass and a bottle of vodka. She poured some bubbles into the water letting it bubble up. Getting a towel and a lufa. She undressed slowly to avoid the pain and then slipped inside the warm cooling water letting herself relax. "Yep yep, I deserve this." She said smiling to herself.

Alec was finishing up with some paper work when he heard a female clearing her throat. He looked up to see his little cousin standing in the doorway.
"Hey there little cousin!" He smiled. Janny scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Why do I have to be younger than EVERYONE!" She asked angered. Alec frowned at his cousin.
"What's wrong PB & Janny?" He asked when she plopped herself down on the couch.
"I just got set up on a blind date to attract one of the richest guys in New York." Janny complained.
"And what's wrong with that other than the fact that its blind date?" Ale asked.
"Ok you just technically said that the whole thing was wrong and other than that being wrong he's married and he's a fat pig who is a total pervert!" Janny wailed.
"Wow! Ok then look I'm kind of afraid to continue this conversation with YOU so why don't we just go home already. Plus you have to go see your wanna be man Chris who's in the hospital and I well I just have to go home and wait for Emily to call me back. " Alec said getting up and collecting his papers in his brief case.
"Wait you and Em are dating?"
who's
"I don't know, but I hope so cause its about time that I dated someone who was beautiful again." Alec said pulling her up off the couch.
"Whoa when did my cousin become so caring about women?"
"Um since he first knew about women."
"And when was that?"
"When he was two." Alec said. Janny laughed as they walked outside to the cars to go home or where ever they had to go.
