This is my first CJ/Leo story and I'm a little nervous about posting it. So please send feedback to let me know what you think. Thank you Eleanor for bataing this for me

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Everything you recognize belongs to Johns Wells, NBC, and Aaron Sorkin etc. I'm a poor 22 year old who still lives at home. So please don't sue.

This just kind of came to me the other day. If this sounds at all like anyone else's story I am very sorry. That just means that I have read your story so many times I have it memorized.

Chapter 2

January 2000

Before we could do that Claypool turned our lives upside-down.

I can't describe how badly I want to be up there with him right now, but I know I can't be.

I was there for him tonight when he vented his frustration at having to have his problems known by strangers all over the country. Then I held him as he cried for all the pain he caused his family in the past.

We have decided that we need to start telling our families. We will then deal with what comes next.

So I called up my father and told him that I was seeing Leo, his first reaction was that he was too old for me, but then he forgot what he was saying and asked me how school was going. My step-mother said she would tell him later when he was more lucid. Leo held me this time.

I don't know exactly what happened when Leo talked to Mallory and Jenny, but I do know that what I got back from that lunch was a slightly bruised Leo and a very pissed off Sam, who found out when Mallory slapped him because she thought he knew and didn't tell her.

We told the staff today. We have been together for almost five months, so we figured it was time they knew anyway. Sam was pissed he found out the way he did, but otherwise happy for us. Josh was upset that he was the last to know, but once we gave him a minute to get over that he was happy. The assistants all squealed and I'm almost positive I saw money changing hands most of it going to Margaret.

Once it was out to our co-workers we had a few weeks to be ourselves before we went on the trip to L.A. and Ted Marcus's party, where I fell in the pool again. That is also where all hell broke loose on our lives once again.

You see when I fell in to the pool Leo happened to be right near by, so he help me out of the pool. It would not have so awful if my dress didn't stick to me as badly as it did. You see Leo wrapped his jacket around me in order to hide my chest which was showing through the dress, as he did this he did what he always does out of habit , which is rub my arms a little bit and give me a slight peck on the head. It was not overly suggestive of a relationship, but at a party full of reporters and entertainers it was a disaster.

March 2 2000

Within the last week the whole world has found out about our relationship. It hasn't been as bad as we thought it would be. I mean sure there have been a few negative comments, but most people have said that we looked good together. We have had a few republicans asking what kind of a white house we were running, but the boys were able to get them to stop complaining after awhile. No one will tell me what was said; I just hope I don't have to deal with the aftermath later.
