Chapter 23
Shaina sighed as she pressed the tip of the bottle against her lips. *I'll just go back to the way I was. A drunk* she thought in her head, as she smiled. But then, she stopped. "My baby," she whispered, as she rubbed her stomach. She made a disgusted look and threw the bottle against the wall. "Never am I going to drink again," she said, as she laid back on her bed.

Stephanie sighed as she grabbed the Dr. Pepper that came down. She felt miserable. Not only did she have two big bruises on her face, but she had also lost her best friend. As she leaned her head against the machine, Jeff approached her. "Hey Stephanie," he greeted, as she waved. "Hey," she said shortly, opening her soda. "Woah! How did you get those bruises?" he asked concerned, as he placed his hands on her cheeks. "I ran into a wall. Stupid me," she answered, as he rolled his eyes. "Oh jeese Steph, that was lame. What really happened?" he asked, as she swallowed hard. "Shaina hit me twice," she answered, as his jaw dropped. "You're best friend hit you?" he asked, as a tear strolled down her cheek. "Yeah, well ex best friend," she answered, as he wiped her tears away. "I'm so sorry. For some reason Shaina has been acting really weird as of late," he said, as Stephanie nodded. "I know and I don't know what it is. She hates me Jeff! She hates me!" she exclaimed, as she hugged him. "Shhh, it's okay. Just calm down," he said, as he caressed her hair lightly. "Oh Jeff, I wish Paul was like you," she replied, caressing his face. She smiled and looked deep into his eyes. "I love you," she said suddenly, as she placed her mouth on his. As much as he wanted to pull back, she wouldn't let him. "Steph stop," he replied, but still she continued kissing him. They didn't break off until someone very familiar yelled Stephanie's name. "Shaina, this isn't what it looks like," Stephanie said, as she let go of Jeff quickly. "Isn't what it looks like? Do I look stupid to you?" Shaina asked, as she started laughing. "No, you don't. I'm sorry," Stephanie answered, as she looked down sadly. "I bet you are. Oh and, sorry about what I did to your face. Don't worry though, it looks better anyway," Shaina said, smirking. "What is wrong with you? What has gotten into you?" Stephanie asked concerned. "Nothing is wrong with me. I'm a better and stronger person than I was. Jeff cheats and lies and now I found out, you are the same way. All I did was dump both of you, what's the big problem?" Shaina asked back, as if it were nothing. "I'm not even going to bother fighting with you," Stephanie answered, as she rolled her eyes. "Good, 'cause I'd beat you anyway. And as for you, the baby I'm going to have is no longer ours. It's mine," Shaina informed Jeff. "You can't do that to me," he simply said, as she walked closer to him. "Just watch," she whispered into his ear, as she walked away. He buried his face in his hands and looked at Stephanie furiously. "Why did you kiss me?" he asked, as tears started streaming down her face. "I don't know. I guess I just got caught up in the moment," she answered, as he hugged her. "It's okay. The only thing we have to do now, is try to get Shaina to come to her senses," he said, as Stephanie nodded. "Yeah, what should we do?"she asked, as he shrugged. "I don't know yet, but I'll call you tomorrow and we'll figure something out," he answered, kissing her cheek. "Okay, see ya tomorrow," she said, as he walked away. She closed her eyes and sighed. *I sure as hell hope Shaina and I become best friends again* she thought in her head, as she started to walk back to her hotel room.
