Leon, Jesse, Liz, and Sabrina fell asleep by the PS2, and the next morning Letty walked in bright and early.
"MORNING EVERYONE!" She yelled.
Leon turned over. "Yeah, morning." He said and fell back asleep.
Letty shook her head and walked out. Five minutes later Dom walked back into the room.
"Anyone who does not get their butt out of this room in five minutes gets to clean the whole house." Dom sternly, boldly, and loudly said.
In about two minutes everyone was downstairs eating breakfast at the table, some people were on the couch.
Vince looked over at Liz and Sabrina. "So, what are you two doing today?"
"Nothing.." Liz said blankly. "At least I'm not doing anything. Sabrina gets to go to the beach with her boyfriend!"
"Hey, Hey, Hey. I am going to the beach with Adam because we haven't seen each other in awhile and…" Sabrina was cut off.
"Yeah, excuses." Liz told her and laughed. She looked over at Vince. "Why you ask? You wanna do something?" Liz was so bored she was up for anything.
"Yeah, I gotta run a few errands for car parts, wanna come with?" Vince asked Liz. He knew she was desperate to get out of the house.
"Sure. Why not?" Liz told Vince.
"K. Get ready, and we're leaving in about forty-five minutes." Vince told Liz, and walked off to the kitchen sink to put his plate and cup there.
"Ok. Awesome." Liz told Vince and ran upstairs to get ready. She was SO happy to get out of the house.
Sabrina followed her up, throwing on a pair of light jeans and a bright green shirt. She put on big circle earrings, and grabbed her small purse, and said 'Bye' to Liz. Sabrina started down the stairs, and there was Adam, waiting for her. He looked at her and grinned widely.
"You look beautiful." Adam told Sabrina.
"Thanks baby," Sabrina told Adam.
"Ready?" Adam asked her.
"Yup." Sabrina told Adam. "Bye Dom, Letty, Vince, Brian, and whoever else there is…" Sabrina trailed off.
Jesse came running up behind her and tackled her. "You forgot meeeeeeeee," Jesse said laughing.
Sabrina got shocked and then started laughing. "You butt you just messed up my hair!" Sabrina said and gave him a light smack on the arm.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Jesse said smiling. "Have fun," He said as he started walking away.
Sabrina walked outside with Adam. She decided she wanted to take her car instead of his, so he got in the passenger side and she drove. She sped out of the driveway, and down the street.
"She's got Brian's insane driving skills, that's for sure." Dom muttered when he seen Sabrina speeding off.
Mia and Letty both laughed. Brian walked in, "What's so funny?" He asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Mia told him.
"Just talking about how Sabrina has your wonderful driving skills." Letty said and busted up laughing.
Brian smirked and walked away, he thought they were all crazy.
Sabrina and Adam arrived at the beach and they both had a good time. Adam threw Sabrina into the water, and then she threw water on him, since she couldn't throw him into the water.
Back at the house, Vince got ready and then took Liz with him to go run some errands. In the car, they made a few conversations.
"So, You like cars a lot?" Vince asked her, not really knowing what else to say.
"No DUH." Liz told Vince, smiling.
He smiled. "I know, dumb question to ask."
"Yeah, ya think?" Liz said, smiling. "So, you got a girlfriend?"
"Nah." Vince told her.
"Why not? C'mon, a guy like you doesn't have a girlfriend?" Liz asked.
"Hahaha, yeah, I know, crazy, isn't it?" Vince asked her.
"Nah, I guess not." Liz said, almost laughing.
"So.. You have Shane, right?" Vince asked her.
"Yeah," Liz replied.
"He treat you good?" Vince asked her, looking over at her.
Liz smiled widely. "Definitely."
"He better, or else he'll have the whole team after him." Vince said sternly.
Liz laughed. "I know, I know, I know, I'm so protected." Liz smiled widely.
"Yup, sure are." Vince replied.
Liz and Vince continued their conversations all the way until they got home.
Meanwhile, at the beach, Adam, and Sabrina were still having a good time. They didn't get home until late, and Sabrina walked in.
"Have a good time?" Mia asked her, holding Brendon.
"Yup, thanks for asking. Where's Brian?" Sabrina replied with a question.
"At DT's Garage, why?" Mia asked Sabrina.
"Oh, I need to talk to him, it's important." Sabrina told Mia, and she ran out the door, got into her car, and then drove off to DT's Garage.
Sabrina drove to DT's Garage, and then walked in.
"Brian!" She yelled out.
"I'm over here." Brian yelled from underneath his Skyline.
"Hey Bri," Sabrina told him. "Have I ever told you how much I love you"
"What do you want?" Brian asked, knowing her, she wanted something.
"Uhm, I was wondering, is it OK, if I ask Liz to go with Adam and I, and can I go, to the beach again for all next week? Adam has a week off of work, and he's going to be at the beach." Sabrina asked Brian.
"Why is Adam taking a week off of work?" Brian asked Sabrina.
"Well, his family isn't going anywhere this summer, and it's not like he can just take off by himself, so his mini-vacation is going to the beach everyday, and he asked me to go with him, and he wants me to ask Liz if she wants to go, too." Sabrina told Brian.
"Alright, fine with me, as long as you three are going to be well behaved." Brian told Sabrina.
Brian came out from underneath the car. "Alright, you can go back home now. I'll be back there in about an hour or two, alright"
"Sure. Ok." Sabrina said as she got into her car and turned on the engine. She blasted up Gwen Stefani's song Danger Zone, and started to drive off.
She arrived home about fifteen minutes later, and then went upstairs to Liz. She sat down on the bed where Liz was. "Hey, how was your day?"
"Good. Vince was fun." Liz, said, smiling.
"Hey, I wanted to ask you, do you want to come to the beach with Adam and I tomorrow?" Sabrina asked Liz.
"Sure, Shane can't come because he has to work a lot this week, but I can come for sure. Definitely I can come. It's totally cool." Liz told Sabrina.
"Cool. Awesome. I'll call Adam and tell him." Sabrina said as she pulled out her cell phone. She flipped it open and dialed his number.
"Hey baby," Adam said answering the phone.
"Hey babe, Just calling to let you know that Liz can come tomorrow, but Shane can't because he has to work," Sabrina told Adam.
"Alright, awesome." He replied.
"I'm gonna go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow." Sabrina told Adam.
"G'nite Baby, sweet dreams," Sabrina said and hung up.
"Night." He replied and put the phone down.
The two girls fell asleep fast and the next morning they were up bright and early. They came downstairs where the team was, and had a few pieces of toast. After the toast, Adam arrived.
"Alright ladies, ready?" Adam asked them both, smiling widely.
"Yup." They both said in unison.
"Ok, great." Adam said as he started to walk out.
Liz and Sabrina put on their flip-flops, and started to follow him out to his car. They all got in, and Adam turned up the radio loudly. In about a half an hour, they arrived at the beach and started to chat away.
"Where's the bathroom?" Sabrina asked. "I gotta go…peeeeee," Sabrina finished off, smiling widely and grinning.
"Uh, I think over there." Adam said and pointed towards the right.
Sabrina got up and started to walk over. She looked back once and saw Liz and Adam slowly making conversation. The two people never talked that much, and Sabrina didn't really think Adam liked Liz.
"So, you like Shane?" Adam asked Liz.
"Yes, very much so. I love him." Liz said smiling.
"Well if you two break up I'm always available," Adam told Liz.
"What do you mean? You have Sabrina." Liz told Adam, kind of shying away now.
"What I mean, is that I don't care about Sabrina. You're hott, you're beautiful, you deserve a good guy like me." Adam said, smiling.
Liz smacked him. "How DARE you talk like that when you know that Sabrina loves you SO much!"
"Ow! What was that for?" Adam asked.
"For being a butt!" Liz said and started to storm off.
Adam looked around. It was a working day and there weren't that many people there.
Adam grabbed Liz's hand, and wouldn't let go. He pulled her down, and pointed his finger at her. "Don't you ever try anything like that again, or you'll really get it."
Sabrina had just come out of the bathrooms now and walked over. She didn't see anything happen, so she assumed everything was fine.
"Jeeze, take any longer?" Adam joked.
"Hey, c'mon, I have to walk that long distance!" Sabrina said in self defense. She laughed a little and looked over at Liz. Liz didn't really look okay, but she didn't want to say anything in front of Adam.
"I love the sun," Liz said.
"Yeah, so do I." Sabrina said.
"I love Sabrina." Adam said smiling and leaning over towards Sabrina. He kissed her while Liz rolled her eyes.
"C'mon guys, I'm right here, do you really have to make out in front of your best friend?" Liz asked, annoyed.
They both stopped and sat down across from each other. "Sorry.." Sabrina whispered.
"It's ok. We have to talk later." Liz told Sabrina when Adam was looking away for a second. She got up and walked over to the lemonade stand. She came back with three lemonades, and handed Adam and Sabrina each one. She didn't want to seem like she didn't like Adam in front of Sabrina, and she didn't want to cause any trouble, but she new that she would talk to Sabrina later on about what happened.
"Thanks," Adam and Sabrina both told Liz in unison.
"No problem," Liz said, smiling widely.
They all drank their lemonades then set them down. Adam got up and stretched. "You know what sounds good right now?" He asked the two girls.
"What?" Sabrina asked.
He picked the two girls up and threw them both over his shoulder.
"What is he doing?" Liz asked Sabrina.
"I think he's putting us…" She was cut off because Adam threw them both in the water.
"Ahhhhhhh," They both screamed.
"Now THAT is what is good. Hahaha!" Adam said, laughing.
"Adam!" Sabrina said as she walked out of the water soaking wet and slapped Adam. Liz followed her and did the same, only harder.
"That's it." He said, and picked them up again. He walked over to the water, and walked deeper this time, and dropped them in, then ran out laughing.
They both chased him out, and ran over to Adam's car. They pulled out the bucket he had in the back, and filled it with water. They chased him, until he stopped to try to reason with them, resulting in him getting soaked. They didn't want to reason.
The three friends had a really good time, and a little after seven, they decided to pack up and head back home. Adam dropped Liz and Sabrina off at home. They walked into the house, and forty-five minutes later, both of them walked down in sweat pants and a t-shirt. They had showered and cleaned themselves up.
They watched a movie and ate a little bit before going back upstairs.
"Night," Sabrina told Liz.
"Um..Sabrina?" Liz asked.
"Yeah? What's wrong?" Sabrina asked. She knew her friends well and could always tell when something was wrong with them.
"Um, today when you went to the bathroom, um," Liz started.
"What happened? Just spit it out." Sabrina told Liz, not knowing what she was going to say.
Liz started talking fast. "Adam told me to date him if Shane ever dumps me and said he doesn't care about you because I am hott, and then when I smacked him he grabbed my arm and told me that if I ever.." She was interrupted.
"Waiiiiit..You're saying Adam told you that? Puhlease girl! He would never do such a thing." Sabrina said, not wanting to believe it.
"He told me that if I ever smacked him again or anything or told you that he would kill me!" Liz told Sabrina.
"I can't believe this. I don't believe you. How could you even think of a lie? You are just so jealous of Adam and me that you want to split us up. Well guess what? It's not going to happen." Sabrina said and turned over so her back was to Liz.
Liz just laid back down and a tear fell from her eye. She quietly cried herself to sleep, and when Sabrina was sure she was asleep, she walked downstairs, only to find Brian, Jesse, and Dom there. Sabrina walked in, tears flowing from her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Brian said up and grabbed Sabrina.
Sabrina shoved him off. "Nothing! Leave me alone!" Sabrina told him. With her back to the knives, she quickly grabbed a small knife and placed it in her pocket. She stormed outside on the front porch, with tears still flowing from her eyes.
Dom, Brian, Vince, and Leon all knew that Jesse was really close to Sabrina, so they nodded towards him, and he started to walk outside.
He sat next to her, and she knew he was there, yet she didn't care if he seen her with the knife or not. She pulled it out and examined it, then set it on the cement next to her.
Jesse looked down for a moment, when he thought he seen something red out of the corner of his eye. He looked over, and Sabrina had just made a small cut by her wrist.
"Sabrina, what are you doing to yourself, what's wrong?" Jesse asked, as he started to hug Sabrina.
"I don't know," Sabrina said through tears, holding the knife. She wanted to cut herself again, yet she didn't know what Jesse would do if she did it again.
Jesse reached over and grabbed the knife from her hands. He put it on the ground beside him, and then held Sabrina in his arms.
"Sabrina, you know you can tell me anything, so start talking." He told Sabrina. He knew something was wrong, he knew that something had to have been wrong from the start. He knew that Sabrina didn't get depressed easily, things had to pile up and then everything came smashing down. She was stubborn and idiotic sometimes, very much like her older brother, Brian.
"No, Nothing's wrong, I'm fine." Sabrina said as she started to get up.
"Well, ok, let's just see what Dom and Brian have to say about that cut on your wrist." Jesse told Sabrina as he started to get up and walk inside.
"No, no, no, I'll tell you." Sabrina told Jesse.
"Ok." Jesse said and sat back down.
Sabrina started balling and so she let Jesse put his arms around her, once again. "Everything is so wrong in my life. Everything is so messed up. I go around everyday pretending everything is fine, when it's not. And tonight I lost a best friend."
"Wait, you mean Liz?" Jesse asked her.
"Yeahh," Sabrina said as she started to ball even harder.
"I'm sure you didn't loose Liz. Tell me what happened." Jesse told Sabrina.
"I don't know, Adam isn't a very nice guy anymore. I don't know what has been happening to him, but he isn't very nice anymore. He told Liz that she was hott and to date him if Shane dumped her, and that I didn't care anymore. And he threatened to kill her if she told me. And then tonight she told me and I didn't believe her, even though deep down I know that it's true, because Liz would never lie to me like that. She could be the most extremely jealous person if she wanted to, but she still wouldn't lie to me like that. I don't know what to do. And then I can't tell anyone about anything that's been happening, I don't know, lately I just seem depressed and lost. And so I been doing this." Sabrina told Jesse, as she pulled up her sleeve. She had been wearing long sleeve shirts, and she pulled up her left hand sleeve to reveal scars from cut marks.
"Oh Sabrina," Jesse said, almost filling his eyes with tears. He cared about Sabrina very much, and he couldn't believe everything that was happening. He knew that she thought he wasn't going to tell Brian or Dom, but they needed to know now. And he needed to help her. This time, Jesse's advice wasn't good enough. Jesse knew that Sabrina needed true help then just Jesse's words. He left her alone, grabbed the knife, and walked into the house. He walked over into the kitchen, and then held up the knife.
"Sabrina has been cutting herself, and cut herself tonight in front of me, and then I grabbed the knife. Adam told Liz today that he doesn't care about Sabrina anymore, and to date Adam if Shane ever dumps Liz. Liz told Sabrina about it, but then Sabrina, not wanting to believe it, told Liz that she didn't believe her and she was just jealous of Sabrina and Adam. Adam also told Liz if she told anyone, he would kill her." Jesse said.
The four other guys were in shock. Brian put his head down. He couldn't believe that his sister was doing this to herself. Then, he thought of something.
"Listen, I have a friend who knows about all of that psychiatric help, and if I talk to him, maybe I can get something that Jesse can tell Sabrina to inform her of what might happen to her. I think he might be up, even. I know he doesn't go to bed early." Brian said and dashed for the phone. He dialed the number, and waited for his friend to pick up.
In about five minutes, he hung up the phone and came back to the table. Sabrina was still outside sobbing, and so he thought that Jesse could still tell her some things.
"Listen, here's what I want you to tell her….." Brian told Jesse, telling him everything. Jesse walked outside, and sat down beside Sabrina.
"Listen, I need to tell you something important. I'm telling you this because I care about you, alright?" Jesse asked Sabrina, looking at her in the eyes.
"Yeah, What?" Sabrina asked Jesse through tears.
"Listen, if you keep cutting yourself you're going to wind up in the ER and if the doctors know it's self inflicted, then you have to go to the psych ward for seventy-two hours, mandatory by state law. And the psych ward is not fun." Jesse told Sabrina.
"I promise I won't do it anymore. I promise." Sabrina told Jesse.
"We'll see. And by the way, I'm checking your arms every week, for two weeks straight, if you can stop by then, then I won't tell on you or anything. Deal?" Jesse asked her, and stuck out his hand.
"Deal." Sabrina told Jesse. "I have a headache, we have any Tylenol left?"
"Yeah, hold on," Jesse said to her as he got up and went inside to the kitchen. "She'll be fine. Don't worry about it. I got it under control. He went to the cabinet, and got two night-time Tylenol pills, plus a glass of water and brought it out to Sabrina.
"Thanks," Sabrina told him.
"No problem," Jesse told Sabrina.
About ten minutes later when Sabrina had finally stopped crying, she started yawning. "I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed, can I crash in your room?" She asked him.
"Sure." Jesse told her.
She got up and went inside. She climbed the stairs, then crawled into Jesse's warm bed, and then fell asleep quickly.
About forty-five minutes later Jesse came in and fell asleep.
Vince couldn't sleep that well that night. In the middle of the night, he walked into Liz's room because he heard her crying across the hall.
"Liz?" Vince whispered.
"I'm asleep." Liz told Vince through tears.
"Doesn't sound like it." Vince said as he sat down next to Liz. She was sleeping on the floor. He wrapped his arms around her, and comforted her.
"I heard about everything, don't tell Sabrina though, I heard through connections through this household, and I want you to know that everything is going to be okay." Vince told her.
"You promise?" Liz asked him through tears. "Because I don't think it's going to be. Everything is so messed up right now I can't even begin to explain everything. Things can only go farther downhill, I don't think anything is going to get any better."
"I promise. Things are going to get better. You just have to give it time. I promise, Liz." Vince said.
Liz leaned her head against Vince's shoulder and fell asleep. For some reason she was now beginning to feel safe and close with Vince.
Vince laid down beside her and fell asleep, too. In the morning, before anyone woke up, Vince woke up to go to the bathroom. After going to the bathroom he slid back into his room and went to sleep, hoping that no one noticed. He didn't like to show his soft side very much, he wanted people to think that he was a tough guy, not some big softie.
The next morning, when Adam showed up, Dom answered the door and told Adam that Sabrina was grounded and that she couldn't go to the beach. Sabrina had asked him to do that, because she knew that Adam wouldn't screw around with Dom.
"Alright, bye." Adam said as he walked off and got into his car.
Dom shut the door and then yelled for Sabrina, "Sabrina..It's done."
"Thanks," Sabrina said.
"No problem." Dom told her.
Liz walked downstairs quietly. She went to go slide past Dom and Sabrina, when Sabrina stopped her.
"Liz, we need to talk." Sabrina told her.
They both stepped outside, and then Sabrina began. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I just didn't want to. I really didn't want to. But, deep down inside, I knew that Adam was changing. Ever since he got injured and he was in the hospital, he changed. He's no longer the sweet, romantic Adam I know. I think he needs help, but I don't know what to do. I just didn't want to believe you, but I knew that you would never lie to me like that." Sabrina told Liz, sincerely and sorrowfully. "So, I'm really sorry for making you feel bad and everything. I'm really sorry."
"It's ok, I understand, I really wouldn't want to believe you if you came to me and told me something about Shane, either. I know what you mean, exactly what you mean. And, yes, I do agree with you, Adam needs help. And, I would advise you right now to stay away from him. The next thing is he'll turn on you, and violence may happen or something. And, I don't want you to come home one night with a black eye or get a call that you're in the hospital. You are my best friend, we are like sisters, and if anything ever happened to you I would have to beat the crap out of whoever did anything to you. No, wait, the guys would beat the crap out of whoever did anything to you. I would just verbally torture the person while the guys are beating the crap out of that person who beat you up." Liz told Sabrina and they both started laughing together.
They walked into the house both cheerfully and smiling. They sat down at the table and started eating pancakes. "Oh my gosh, these are sooo good.." Sabrina said.
"Thanks Sabrina, but they're only regular pancakes," Mia told Sabrina.
"Yeah, I know, I'm just glad to have your cooking back, not Dom's cooking anymore." Sabrina said laughing hysterically.
The whole team busted up laughing. They all thought that it was funny, even though Dom's cooking wasn't too bad. For a guy, he could cook pretty darn good.
"Hey, C'mon, I can cook good, I just can't cook extraordinarily good, like ms. Housewife over there." Dom told everyone, pointing at Mia.
"Oh hey, race wars got cancelled." Leon told everyone.
"Who cancel…" Dom started to get up and get mad when he was cut off.
"Joking…" Leon said smiling.
"Oh you bum!" Dom said, tossing an unopened beer at him.
Leon grabbed the beer and opened it, and took a drink. "Thanks," He said, just before a huge burp.
Sabrina got up from the table and went into the house. She grabbed the phone, and dialed Adam's cell number.
"Whats crackalackin?" Adam answered the phone.
"Adam, it's Sabrina, we need to talk." Sabrina said the famous words.
"What is it?" He asked, concerned. He knew the words, but he was hoping she wasn't going to break up with him.
"Adam, listen, I was thinking about us last night, and.." She hesitated a moment.
"What is it Sabrina?" He asked, wanting her to continue.
"I think that we need to separate, go our separate ways. I think that it would be the best thing for both of us." Sabrina told Adam. "I mean, we are a great couple, yeah, but I need a break, I need to figure out my life right now"
"Sabrina, no, please, just give me.." He was cut off. She interrupted him.
"Adam, if you truly love and care for me, you will understand this, and you will accept the fact that I am breaking up with you. If we are meant to be, we will cross paths later in life." Sabrina told him, confident in what she was doing. She didn't want to be with him anymore, and she didn't want to confront him on his problems, she just wanted to get rid of him before he did anything to her.
"I understand," Adam said, almost crying a bit now.
"I gotta go. Call me later. Bye." Sabrina said, and hung up the phone.
With no one on the other end, Adam responded, "I love you," and set the phone down.
Adam set the phone down and a tear fell out of his eye. He was at his house, and he was hoping that his mom wasn't going to walk in. He decided to go to Sabrina and his favorite spot. He grabbed his car keys, turned off the television in his room, and went out into the living room where his parents were.
"I'm going to go for a bit, I'll be back later." He told his mom and dad as he started off.
"Why? What's wrong?" His mom sensed something was wrong with him.
"Sabrina and I just broke up." He said as he started crying a bit and went outside into his car.
He started the engine and drove off. He went into the woods a bit, where him and Sabrina used to go to think. He sat there for a bit, thinking about everything. Two hours later he arrived home, and told his mom and dad he didn't want to talk about it. He seemed happy.
Meanwhile, Sabrina was hurt inside, but she wasn't showing it. She was acting happy, happy as ever. She walked over to where Jesse was and she sat down by him.
"Hey Jess," She told him.
"Hey Bria," He replied. That was his nickname for her.
"How are ya?" She asked him.
"Good, thanks, you?" Jesse responded quickly.
"Fine, thanks." She said smiling.
Vince walked over to Liz and made mild conversation with her. He was getting to like her a lot, as a friend. Liz seemed to like him back, too. They really shared a lot in common, and he thought that they shared a lot emotionally, too. He had a lot from his past that he was still dealing with, even though he never acted like it or spoke about it. He was one of those people that could act tough, but really inside he was breaking down.
The team, along with the new little babies, Anthony and Brendon, were having some fun with the barbeque and everything.
That night Jesse, as he said he would, checked Sabrina's arms before she went to bed.
"I haven't done it and I won't do it again," Sabrina protested. "Why do you have to keep checking my arms"
"Well, we'll see if you really stop doing it. But, from now on, I'm checking your arms for the next two weeks. Get used to it." He said sternly and then walked out of her room. He acted more like a big brother and a father to her then Brian did, although Brian knew everything that was happening, but he let Jesse handle it, because he knew how close Jesse was with Sabrina.
