A/N-Wow-two chapters in one day!! Lucky you!!! What happened next? Is TJ ok? Read and

find out.

Spinelli woke up with a start, shaking and sweating like crazy. She just had to call TJ to

see if he was ok. She grabbed her Nextel and sent a direct connect message.

"TJ? Are you there? Answer me!!!' Spinelli bellowed.

A few seconds later, a sleepy voice answered, "Spinelli, its 3am. We've been over this.

Joey Lawrence is married now. Get over it." Even in his sleepy state, TJ couldn't resist teasing

Spinelli about her celebrity crush.

"First off, I like Matt, and second, I had a nightmare. I dreamt you were in an accident,

and got scared. I had to see if you were ok."

"Spin, I'm fine. You're my best friend. I'm not going anywhere. We are always going to

be friends. Even when you do marry Andy Lawrence. Thanks for worrying though. "

"Its Matt and you're welcome." Spinelli smiled. TJ could always make her feel better.

"And whats wrong with Andy?"

Spinelli laughed. "Hes too young and Matt's my man." Inwardly she was thinking, "I

wish you were my man." But she couldn't say that of course.

"Do you want me to come over Spin? You sound upset still." TJ knew his best friend

well, and knew when he was needed. After giving him the OK, TJ threw on some clothes and

jogged over to Spinelli's. He knew her parents were away that weekend, so he knocked on the

door, awaiting his princess, glad for once he didn't have to climb into their treehouse in the

middle of the night. As soon as she saw him, Spinelli grabbed him into a tight hug.

"Oh, my God, TJ, if you died---" Spinelli tried to control the tears, but she couldn't and

ended up sobbing on his shoulder.

"Spin, whats the matter? I know its more than just the dream." He held her in his arms,

vowing that if he were her boyfriend, he would do everything in his power to make her happy

and make anyone or anything that made her cry suffer.

Slowly, Spinelli told him about her flashback to the King Bob incident, saying how it

scared her to death to go near any man but him outside her family. She told him about PA's

advice about moving on, but that she was afraid another man would attempt to rape her again.

TJ listened, remembering that night all too well. He hated Bob for hurting her and wish

he killed him that night. Anyone who hurt an innocent girl like Spinelli deserved to die. He

wanted right then, right now, to tell her his feelings, that he would love her forever and do his

best to keep her safe, but he knew the time was inappropriate. Instead, he hugged her again and

held her until she fell asleep. Once she was, he adjusted the blanket around her and whispered in

her ear how much he loved her. Once she knew he couldn't hear her, she whispered back "I love

you too, Teej."

The two knew they were in love, and they would do anything for each other, yet they

were too scared to admit it to the other. Which was sad, because nothing could prepare them for

what was about to happen the next day, something that would make them wish they would have

said something.

A/N-suspense, a night mare, flashbacks, oh my! As you can tell, the next chapter is the tragic

event, but what happens? Any guesses? Anyone closest gets to be in the sequel---stay tuned!

R/R, (goal is at least 100 per story) but of you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. Enjoy!

BTW ten points to whoever gets the Lawrence brothers reference (
