Comments: email me all you comments and suggestions. Ok this is my first One Life to Live story so please all comments would be useful (by the way the new name for this story only on fanfiction.net is now can he love someone like me because all titles on fanfiction.net have to be G rated) (oh and I'm having everything with Vicki and Ben already happen. She is back and he is gone…. And Lindsay is back too and the conversation between her and Jen did happen)
"Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one"
"Al, is this thing true or is Natalie lying?" Jess asked.
"You know what Jessica I need to talk to my dad, how about I call you?" Al said as he tried to get her to leave.
"No! I'm not going till you tell me if this is true?" Jessica said mad.
"Jess I don't know if it's true. Only Natalie does."
"Only Natalie?"
"Yes, this is just another one of her schemes and I think you shouldn't give her the benefit of giving this to Cris or Jen just keep it between you and me." Al said lying.
"Why?"
"Because she cares about Cris to much to actually give it to him and if you don't then they will never find about it and they'll be fine. But if you do then Natalie will get exactly what she was hoping for them to break up."
"I guess you're right. You know Al I'm sorry that she tried to this to you."
"It's ok. I'm used to Natalie's tricks by now."
"Yeah and we're all tired of them. Oh and thanks Al for being so understanding, Natalie my not appreciate it but I do."
"Yeah well Natalie doesn't appreciate much now does she." Al said sarcastically. "Now if you don't mind…"
"I'll go and I'm really sorry about all this." Jess said as she opened the door.
"So am I." Al said as he closed it.
"You know sometimes I think that Natalie has to be my daughter." Roxy said.
"With all the problems she causes, I'm not surprised you think that." Max said annoyed. "No how about you don't cause any more problems and just let me and Al talk." Max said.
"Fine, but one of these days, Maxie you're going to realize that these problems I cause, I only do because I love you."
"Yeah, can you just go?" Max said annoyed.
"I'm going." Roxy said as she headed upstairs.
"So Natalie knows?" Max asked.
"All she knows is what I already knew and that's that the baby is either mine or Cristian."
"But what you didn't know before was that Jen's not so sure that this baby is Cris's." Max pointed out.
"Which means I've got to find out now if it's mine." Al said as he grabbed his coat.
"Oh please tell me Jessica did not get to Cris and Jen before they left." Natalie said nervously speaking aloud.
"Don't worry I didn't. So where did you send them off to any way?" Jessica asked annoyed as she came into the living room where Natalie was pacing.
"They had some where's to go."
"Yeah right, I believe that bull just about as much I believe that you are seriously telling Cris because you care about him." Jen said sitting down.
"But I do care about him."
"If you really did then you won't be trying to break him up with the girl he's in love with."
"I'm not trying to break them up. I want him to be happy, I want him to be with the person he loves and if that's Jen then I'm ok with that."
"Then why would you do this?" Jessica said holding the letter.
"Because I think he deserves to know the truth."
"But the problem is it's not the truth, it's just another lie you made up as part of one of your schemes."
"This isn't a scheme Jessica. I would not make this up. And if had my way I wish I had never heard it but I did."
"Oh really prove it? Not that you can but give it your best shoot." Jessica said sarcastically.
"Why should I you never believe me any way."
"That's because you never tell the truth but you know you could change that all right now by admitting to what you're trying to do."
"I'm not admitting to something I didn't do. You know what I've got to go."
"Got to go and ruin some more lives?" Jessica asked sarcastically.
"You know this doesn't even involve you so stay out it!" Natalie screamed.
"I would if you my sister here would stop being such a bitch!" Jessica screamed.
"Jessica!" Vicki said shocked as she came into the living room.
"She's all yours." Natalie said as she headed out the door.
"Mom, you're got to stop her." Jessica said pleading.
"No, I think you and I need to talk." Vicki said seriously.
"So does she always take this long?" Cris asked the receptionist as he waited outside the office.
"Depends on how much she has to ask her."
"Great, so I may never know if she really pregnant or not." Cris said sarcastically.
"Cristian?" Natalie asked as she came into the waiting room out of breath.
"Natalie, are you ok?" Cristian asked worried.
"I'm fine, where's Jen?"
"In with the doctor. Why is there something you need to tell her?"
"Um, Cris we need to talk."
"Here, now?" He asked shocked.
"Yeah, before we get interrupted again." Natalie said.
"Are you actually going to tell me everything this time?" Cristian asked.
"Yeah, I really am." Natalie said sitting down next to him.
"Ok you want to start with why we had to get out my apartment today?"
"How about we start further back?"
"Sure, as far back as you need to go."
"Good, Cris you know I think of you as a really good friend right?"
"Yes I feel the same way."
"And I wouldn't purposely hurt you, right?"
"Yeah, what's going?"
"I… I cannot say this. Here take the note and call me when you read it. I've got to go." Natalie said getting up.
"Natalie, wait!"
"No Cris it's better this way." She said as she left.
Cris sat down and opened the letter.
"Cristian,
I know you probably think I have lost my mind and you are probably right but I am doing this for a reason. You need to know everything; I just cannot lie to you anymore. I know you and Jen or happy and you love her and I am not trying to break you up, I would not do that to you. But you deserve to know what's going. It all started when you helped me out with the murder investigation. We were become so close as friends and then you… you kissed me. I did not expect it but I cannot say I did not want it. Cris, I really care about you and if I had it my way, we would be together but I have stopped trying to make life the way I want it. Instead I'm accepting how life is, I'm in love with you and you're in love with Jen and she might be pregnant with your baby. That is life and I do not expect nor do I want you to do anything with this information I said just let me be and move on with your life with out me even as a friend. I hope you and Jen are happy and I hope that baby is yours and not Al's. Ask Jen about that.
I love you and goodbye
Natalie"
Cristian put the letter back in his pocket and just sat there in crazy.
