Authors Note: Okay so I finally updated. What has it been 3 months now? I'm really sorry guys, every chapter I say I'm gonna try and update soon, but umm yeah… I'm not even gonna promise you soon anymore. I'm honesty going to try and finish, but the truth is I really don't like the Clique like I used to. I haven't read Clique fanfiction since December so… maybe if Lisi actually writes something worth getting back into then maybe updates will come faster, but other than that I'm not feeling the Clique anymore…. well enough with this onto the chapter, which by the way I tried to make longer. I had to reread this before I wrote it and my writing style changed so much and my grammar was terrible. OKAY, enough rambling….

Alicia's Apartment

Wednesday, March 20th

10:42 a.m.

Alicia woke up a little confused as to why she was currently laying on the little brown couch instead of her bed. She tried to remember the events of last night as she stretched and she remembered one thing that stuck out the most. Josh. She couldn't remember if that had actually happened, but it must have if she was sleeping on the couch. Alicia finished stretching and then got up so she could make her way back to her bedroom to investigate. Sure enough, there was Josh sleeping in her bed. She was thankful that Richard wasn't supposed to be home for a couple more days or else he would flip out.

As soon as Josh wakes up she was going to kick him out. She wasn't going to forgive him that easily. The only reason she helped him was that if he was killed or killed someone else Alicia would blame herself for not stopping him from driving. And besides that if Josh died, his daughter would be under the full time care of Olivia and Alicia had already guessed that woman didn't get the mother of the year award.

Alicia went back down the hallway and to see if she had anything worth eating for breakfast. She couldn't remember the last time she or Richard went shopping for groceries. After looking through her cabinets for ten minutes, she finally decided that she could just wait until her lunch with her new client at twelve.

It was now ten after eleven so she went to her bathroom and started the shower. It was getting late so she needed to make it quick, she decided that she would deal with Josh when she was finished.

In a little over fifteen minutes later, she was out of the shower and sitting in her bathroom in her pink Ralph Lauren robe blow drying her long black hair. She was almost finished making it perfectly dry when she heard a bang come from her bedroom.

"Josh?" Alicia yelled.

"Oh, so that's his name?" A familiar voice answered her appearing at the bathroom door.

"Richard, I though—"

"Save it, is this what you do every time I leave on business?" Richard yelled.

"Just let me explain." Alicia said calmly.

"What the hell is there to explain?! I come home to find some guy sleeping in his underwear in our bed. What more is there to explain?" Alicia felt her self stepping back, he was scaring her.

"It's not what you think!" Alicia could feel her eye tearing up.

"You know what? I don't even feel guilty for sleeping with a new girl every time I leave town anymore since you've obviously been doing the same exact thing!" Richard screamed. "Alicia, get out of my apartment now and bring him with you too!"

"I will let me just—" Alicia was cut off again her eyes filling with tears.

"I said now!"

"I can't go out in this! I'm having lunch with a client in twenty minutes!" Alicia yelled.

"I didn't think a slut you would care if they went out in a bathrobe, I'm sure more than half the guys and maybe some of the girls have already seen you naked anyway!" Richard grabbed Alicia by the arm and started pulling her out of the bathroom.

"Let go of her!" Josh yelled as he made his way from the bedroom and toward the fighting ex-couple.

"Who the hell are you telling me what to do?!" Richard screamed.

Josh tried to take a punch at Richard's jaw, but he failed when Richard grabbed his hand and started pulling him toward the door as well. Alicia never once realized how strong he actually was until now.

"Don't ever come back here." Richard said throwing her purse out the door with the two and then he slammed it in their faces.

Josh was in nothing, but his boxers and Alicia was in nothing except her bathrobe. She quickly scrambled for her phone so she could cancel her meeting before deciding what to do next.

"Leesh, I'm so sorry." Josh apologized as Alicia hung up her phone. Alicia sat down with her back against the wall opposite to the door that was once her apartment. Josh did the same, but made sure to put a foot and a half distance between them.

"What are you exactly sorry for Josh? For cheating on me? For getting drunk and making me sleep on my couch? For ruining my first good relationship since you? For getting me kicked out of my apartment? Or maybe for making me lose my client?" Alicia sneered. "After all that you really expect me to forgive you with just an 'I'm so sorry.'?"

"I'm sorry for almost everything. I'm a jackass. I should have never put you through any of that, but I'm not sorry about breaking up you and Richard. Didn't you here him, he was cheating on you! If that hadn't happened then you still be in there with that man whore."

"What the hell! Are you really just gonna sit there and call him a man whore if I remember correctly didn't you cheat on me when you went and had a baby with the school skank?" Alicia screamed.

"Alicia, that was the biggest mistake of my life, okay? I love you and I never wanted to hurt you. I was drunk and I couldn't think clearly, you were at that party too, but you ditched me for Massie, Claire, Dylan, and Kristen." Josh tried to explain himself.

"Are you trying to blame me for going to talk to my friends for five minutes? We weren't glued to the hip you know. And what was with the present tense of 'I love you,' that you threw in there."

"Yeah, but do you remember when you were grinding some other guy? I know I do even with all that alcohol in me. I got so jealous and that's when I got with Olivia. And, Leesh, I meant to say that present even if you don't love me, I still love you and I probably always will." Josh explained.

Alicia was silent for a few minutes before she spoke up again. "You can love me, Josh, you just can't."

"Why?" Josh asked.

"Because I love you too, but after everything that happened I can't just forgive you like that." Alicia felt that tears that had stopped flowing from her eyes a few minutes ago start back up.

"Why can't you just forgive me? I don't know what else to do or say to you, Leesh. I am truly sorry and I really wish I had money to do or buy you something to go along with that, but I don't. I'm just a dentist, I wanted to be something more than that, but after Olivia got pregnant my mom thought of me as a failure. She didn't think I deserved to become a doctor or anything that was well paying. The only reason I got to be a dentist was because my uncle, who is a dentist, felt bad for me and sent me to dental school. If he didn't I'd probably be working at Burger King. All the money I make goes to everything Jamie needs and the bills, and the rest is usually spent by Olivia since she refuses to get a job." Josh explained.

"I can't forgive you because I don't want to get hurt again. Do you know how long it took for me to get over you? When I finally did I had a few short relationships and then I met Richard through work and I really liked him, not like I liked you, but enough. You heard everything he called me. That just happened like ten minutes ago. I don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship with you again." Alicia responded.

"I don't expect you to be in a relationship again right now. I just want you to at least forgive me."

Alicia wiped her eyes on her pink sleeve. "Okay Josh, I forgive you."

Josh smiled and then hugged her. "Thanks Leesh. So where do you want to go to get clothes?"

"I don't think anyone's home right now so I don't know where to go. We obviously can't go back in there." Alicia said.

"We could go to my house." Josh suggested.

"I won't borrow her clothes." Alicia protested. "And I won't see her."

"She probably is either sleeping or out somewhere and what other choice do you have you already said that no one's probably home right now away. Just borrow her clothes and then go to the mall and buy more or something. Besides I have to get my car." Josh got up and offered Alicia his hand.

She took it and said, "Okay, Lets go."

With that the two made they're way to Alicia's car in a bathrobe and boxers.

Authors Note: Okay so I think that was really bad, but I felt like I had to write SOMETHING. I kinda rushed through that. I really really wanna finish it just to finish this, but if no one wants to keep reading then I'll just stop. If not I won't promise I'll update soon, but hopefully there will be another one before may.

So review I guess….
