Disclaimer: I own Amanda, and that's it.

A/N: Once again, I'm not going to make any excuses. Haven't really felt anything for this story for awhile, so some changes have been made. Hope ya'll enjoy this chapter. It's 10 pages long, so hopefully that will make up for the lack of updating for awhile.

Chapter 28

Monday morning came, and as Rae, Heather, Dave, and Jeff walked into McMahon High School, they noticed Randy waiting for them.

"Rae, can I talk to you for a second?" Randy asked tiredly, obvious that he didn't get much sleep.

"Yeah, sure. I'll see you in Math hon." Rae said, turning around to give Dave a kiss. Heather and Dave exchanged worried glances, while Jeff looked as confused as Randy.

"Rae, what's going on with Amanda?" Randy asked, as the pair headed towards their American Government class.

"What do you mean, what's going on? She's just sick and she doesn't want you to get it, since wrestling season just started." Rae answered, hoping this was a good enough answer to get him off her back.

"Rae, cut the fuckin bull shit. I've been around her when she was sick before. Just tell me, does she want to break up with me?" Randy asked, scared that Rae's answer could mean he would lose the only girl he's ever loved.

"Randy, I honestly don't know. Just whatever you do, don't let her push you away. Fight for her, no matter what she says or does." Rae told him, turning around and putting her feet on the back of Victoria's chair, as their teacher Mr. Lawler began to talk.

"Yo Vic." Rae whispered, tapping Victoria on the shoulder.

"Yeah." She answered, turning her head slightly.

"Is it just me, or is this dude wearing a fuckin crown?" Rae asked, causing Randy to snicker and Victoria to burst out laughing.

"Is there something funny, Miss Varon?" Mr. Lawler asked, looking over at the three laughing seniors.

"No sir. Just got a leg cramp is all." Victoria lied, as Rae doubled over in laughter now.

"Alright, well let's get started." Mr. Lawler said, as Rae and Victoria could still be heard laughing.

"Princess, why don't you let me fix you some breakfast?" Shawn asked Amanda, but got nothing in reply. "Randy's called here all weekend. Don't you think you should at least talk to him? I'm not saying you need to have him over, but just talk to him. He's worried about you, and I'm not sure how much longer he's going to by the excuse that you're sick." Shawn stated, still not getting a response from Amanda. The sound of someone knocking on the door, snapped Amanda out of her trance. Noticing the look of fear that flashed across Amanda's face, Shawn was quick to react.

"Honey, nothing is going to happen to you. I'm expecting someone, so it's probably just them." Shawn comforted, walking over to the door. Amanda could hear two voices, along with her dad's, although she wasn't quite able to make them out.

"Hey Leigh." Amanda heard from behind her.

"Hey Megs." Amanda answered, turning around and seeing her cousin Meagan standing behind her. Being 2 ½ years older than Amanda, the girls were as close as sisters, and would tell each other everything.

"Sweetie, let's go upstairs and talk. Dad's in the kitchen talking with Uncle Shawn." Meagan said, helping Amanda upstairs.

The rest of the day flew by pretty much, except for Rae who had to sit through Mr. Serenca's English class. "I'm serious Dave, that guy wouldn't know fuckin English if it hit him in the fuckin face." Rae said, throwing her books in her locker.

"I know babe, I had him last semester. In fact, Heather and I had a bet going on how long it would take before you started bitching about it." Dave laughed, as Jeff and Heather walked up.

"Oh really, and what prey tell does the winner get?" Rae asked, having a pretty good feeling that Dave was the winner.

"Well, once Heather has her baby, she has to wash my truck and wax it too." Dave answered.

"What would Chica have won?" Rae asked, looking over at an unhappy Heather.

"Diaper changes for a day." She replied, obviously upset about losing. The four of them stood around and talked for a few minutes, when Rae's dark eyes narrowed in anger.

"Babe, now is not the time." Dave whispered, wrapping an arm around her.

"Rae, what's going on?" Heather asked, as Randy walked up behind them.

"Nothing, I'm just still pissed at Mr. Frenchy for trying to hit Manda on the first day of school." Rae lied, turning to face Randy.

"Rae, if you by any chance are going to see Amanda, could you give this to her please?" Randy asked, handing Rae a letter.

"Yeah, sure" Rae answered, her hate for Rene growing more and more.

"Thanks." Randy said softly, before turning around to leave. Rae, Dave, and Heather looked at each other concerned, only Rae and Dave understanding the whole truth.

"Megs, everyone keeps trying to get me to tell who raped me. I just want to forget what happened, and move on with my life." Amanda told her cousin, from her spot on the bed.

"Yeah, but it sounds to me, like you're wanting to put it behind you and move on with your life, and not tell your boyfriend. You need to let him know if you plan on moving on with your life without him." Meagan said, when the girls heard a car pull into the driveway.

"Rae's here." Amanda said, looking back at her cousin.

"How do you know?" Meagan asked surprised, since Amanda was sitting as far away from the window as possible.

"Well, school's been out for close to an hour, and she's the only one I know that listens to Rammstein." Amanda finished, while Meagan just shook her head. "As for what you just said, how can I tell Randy that I want to move on with my life without him? I don't want too, but I know what would happen if I told him that some other guy touched me, and raped me. I'll see the same fuckin pity looks I get from my Dad and everyone." Amanda finished, wiping away a stray tear.

"Just remember this Leigh. If you tell the cops who did this to you, they can lock his ass up for a long time." Meagan said, as a knock came on the door.

"Hey chick. How are you feeling?" Rae asked, shrugging her coat off.

"Okay I guess. How was school today?" Amanda asked, while Rae made her self comfortable in the desk chair, and propping her feet up on the bed.

"Well, you're just going to loooove our English teacher. He sounds all ghetto and shit, drove me insane already today. Our Government teacher wears a crown." Rae stated, as Meagan started laughing.

"You guys have Mr. Lawler too?" She asked unable to hold her laughter in.

"Holy shit! Maygain." Rae yelled, hugging the older girl.

"The one and only." Meagan said, causing Rae to laugh slightly before becoming serious again.

"Manda, Randy wanted me to give this to you. I think he's starting to see past the lie of you being sick. Just call him and talk to him. You don't have to tell him what happened, but for the love of God, you need to fuckin talk. He kept hounding me today, especially during Government and English." Rae said, tossing the letter to Amanda. When she opened the letter, tears immediately came to her eyes.

Dear Amanda,

I don't know how else to talk to you, cause you won't see me or take my calls. I want you to know that I love you very much. If I have done something to offend you, or have hurt you, I apologize. I'm so sorry babygirl. If you would just talk to me, I know we can work out whatever it is that I have done. If it's not me and something else is bugging you, you know you can talk to me. I will stand by you no matter what. You are my life. I love you so much that it hurts not knowing if I have done something to hurt you. Please call me babygirl. Let me know that we're still okay. I love you. Don't ever forget that.

Love,

Randy

Amanda wiped the tears from her eyes, while her cousin and best friend hugged her.

"See Leigh, you really should talk to him." Meagan said, while Rae nodded her head in agreement.

"Can you guys leave me alone for a little bit?" Amanda asked, putting her walls back up.

"Sure, let's go see if we can get my uncle to fix us some food around here." Meagan said, laughing as the pair headed downstairs.

Friday, Amanda was going back to school, when Victoria knocked on the front door.

"Hey girl. Are you finally feeling better?" She asked, when Amanda opened the front door.

"Yeah, I guess so." Amanda mumbled, pulling on her boots.

"Girl, that boyfriend of yours is driving everyone insane cause you won't talk to him. He even kinda snapped at Rae the other day." Victoria kept rambling, when Shawn walked into the room.

"I know Vic. I am more than aware that Randy is driving everyone nuts." Amanda snapped, as Shawn just shook his head.

"Princess, are you sure you want to go back to school today?" Shawn asked, knowing there would be a lot of questions asked.

"Yeah Dad. Come on Vic, let's go." She answered, grabbing her book bag and walking out to Victoria's Camero.

When the girls arrived at school, they were greeted by an overly excited Heather. "Hey Manda. Welcome back." Heather said, giving her friend a quick hug. "Are you going to be able to come to the shower?" Heather asked, as Rae, Dave, and Randy walked into the school. Rae and Dave both gave reassuring looks, when they saw Amanda standing there talking to Heather.

"Hey beautiful." Randy said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Noticing the immediate tensing, Rae was quick to intervene.

"Come on Manda. You don't want to be late for Government. You need to check out Lawler's crown. He's got a different one every day." Rae said, pulling Amanda down the hall, while Randy could be heard punching the side of the pop machine.

"Manda…" Rae started, but was immediately cut off.

"Just don't Rae." Amanda said quietly, walking into the classroom.

Rae and Dave drove Amanda home from school, and when they pulled into the driveway, they noticed a 'For Sale' sign in the front yard.

"Girl, what the fuck is goin on?" Rae questioned, after she and Dave got out of her truck.

"I talked to my dad last night, and it's too hard to stay in this house. Dad's been wanting to sell it for a long time, since my mom was killed. He didn't though cause of me, and he didn't want to take me away from memories of her." Amanda answered, before walking up to the front door.

"Alright, let's finish getting the stuff out to my truck for Chica's shower. Did you need me to pick you up tonight?" Rae asked, as they headed upstairs to Amanda's room.

"Yeah, if you don't mind. I mean, I love Vic to death, but she was bugging the shit out of me today on the way to school." Amanda said, carrying the 'It's a Boy' banner down to Rae's truck.

"Alright, I'll be back here around 6:30 and pick you up. Be ready, or your…" Rae said, as Amanda finished for her.

"Ass will be left. Yeah, I know. You always say that, and yet, you never seem to leave anyone." Amanda replied, walking back inside.

"Do you think she's ever going to talk to Randy?" Dave asked his girlfriend, as they got back in the truck.

"I don't know. I hope she talks to him soon, and now he's going to have more questions, with the house being up for sale and shit." Rae sighed, hating the fact that 2 of her best friends were hurting like this.

"He's getting frustrated, I can tell you that much. She never called him back after the letter he wrote her either." Dave told her, grabbing a hold of her hand.

"Yeah, I know the feeling. Hell, she's not even really talking about it anymore. Not that she really talked about it in the first place." Rae replied, squeezing Dave's hand slightly, as she turned her truck into the Austin's driveway.

"Hey Jeff. Nice turn out for the shower, huh?" AJ said, walking up to the father-to-be.

Jeff smiled and turned to her, "Yeah, I guess so..."

"I bet you can't wait for the baby to be born?" AJ asked, touching Jeff's arm.

"Of course I can't. I'm real excited." He replied, feeling a little uneasy.

"Are you sure you want to be tied down with a baby right now? I mean, you're only 18, you should be out having the time of your life." AJ stated, leaning in closer to Jeff.

"What are you saying? I love Heather and I want this baby more than anything."

"Are you sure you want to give up the fun of having to live your life for no one but you?" AJ asked, right before kissing Jeff right on the lips.

Jeff's eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect her to kiss him, but he knew she was up to something, he quickly pushed her away and stared at her wide eyed. "What the hell are you thinking!"

"Come on Jeff. It's not like you truly love Heather. Now's the chance to break free, and to be able to be with someone who isn't going to tie you down with a baby at 18." AJ replied, pushing him up against the wall to kiss him again.

"What the fuck is going on here?" Sarah yelled, walking up to her cousin's boyfriend, and some girl she didn't know.

AJ grumbled and pulled away from Jeff, "Thanks for interrupting." She said smartly.

Jeff swallowed hard and looked at Sarah, "No...Sarah it isn't what you think.. I didn't..." he said nervously.

"Jeff, I know it's not you. I saw what she just tried to do. My question is, why did she try to do it?" Sarah asked, glaring daggers at AJ.

"He don't need her." AJ smiled and watched as Jeff moved over beside Sarah.

"Who are you to fuckin say who he needs, and who he doesn't need?" Sarah asked, already starting to crack her knuckles.

"Well, he don't seem too happy, now does he?"

"Well did you ever stop to think that, you shoving your tongue down his throat made him so fuckin nauseous that he won't be able to eat food again?" Sarah shot back, not taking her eyes off AJ.

"What are you talking about? He liked it! He kissed me back." AJ said now smirking.

"I did not kiss you back damn it!" Jeff shouted, now causing people to stare.

"Jeff, what's going on?" Heather asked, walking up next to her boyfriend and cousin.

"I'll tell you what's going on. I come back to get something from my purse, and I see this slut all up on Jeff, when he's clearly said that he didn't want her to be. That's what's going on." Sarah said, in a surprisingly calm voice, her cold gaze still on AJ though.

"You were all over my boyfriend?" Heather yelled, lunging for AJ.

Jeff swallowed and quickly grabbed his pregnant girlfriend around her waist and pulled her back. "Remember the baby." he said softly.

"He liked it though." AJ said jumping back a little.

"Well I don't have to remember shit." Sarah said, tackling AJ to the ground. "You think you're going to get away with messing with my cousins boyfriend? Let me tell you something, you've got alot of fuckin balls to try and do something like that." Sarah said, as her fist connected with AJ's face.

"Get off me!" AJ yelled and tried to shield from Sarah's fists.

"You think you're that special, you're going to break them up. Let me tell you something ya slut. Something is going to break alright, and it's not going to be their relationship." Sarah yelled, as her fist connected with AJ's nose. AJ stumbled back against the wall and glared at Sarah, "Stay out of this bitch! This has nothing to do with you!"

"The hell it doesn't have something to do with me. That is my cousin you're trying to hurt, not some random girl. You claim to be friends with her, when now it's oh so obvious that you just wanted to fuck her boyfriend." Sarah yelled, getting back in AJ's face. Heather was amazed how Sarah was so quick to see right through AJ, having just met her tonight.

"Okay, okay." AJ said in defeat. "I was just trying to see if he was true to her!"

"Bull shit. You have your own fucking boyfriend, grant it, he ain't worth two shits half the time, but you obviously can't be true to him." Sarah yelled, balling her fist up again to hit AJ, but was stopped by the sound of her uncle's voice. AJ bit her lip nervously and looked over at the doorway where Steve stood.

"Just what in the hell is goin on in here?" Steve asked the 4 young adults, looking back and forth between his niece and AJ.

"I..." AJ started and shifted nervously.

"I'll tell you what's going on Uncle Steve. This fuckin slut was shoving her tongue down Jeff's throat, claiming she was trying to see if he was true to Heather." Sarah started, keeping her gaze fixed to the new girl

"Hardy, are you cheating on my..."Steve started, but was quickly interrupted by Sarah.

"Uncle Steve, let me finish. I walked up, and could tell that she was almost forcing herself on him, and since Heather can't kick her ass, I did it myself." Sarah finished explaining, starting to go after AJ, again, but was held back by Steve.

"I would never do such a thing." Jeff stated while glaring at AJ who just stood there saying nothing.

"Young lady, I think it's best if you leave this party right now. Don't be showing your face around here anymore." Steve said, in such a calm tone, that it shocked the 3 young adults that knew his Rattlesnake like temper.

AJ nodded, "I'm sorry if I upset anyone," she said turning to go, but not without winking at Jeff before exiting the room.

"Just walk right out that front door, you fuckin bitch." Heather yelled, at AJ's retreating form. "Not that I feel sorry for John, but I don't want to be the one to tell him his girlfriend or whatever she is, is a fuckin slut." Heather finished, walking back to the living room, leaving Sarah, Jeff, and Steve chuckling at her little announcement
