Fighting for Nothing

Christy sat on the big leather couch dressed in some gray sweat pants and the lettermans jacket she got for her birthday last year. Her nose was red as ever and her eyes were swollen and they burned.

"Thank you guys so much for letting me stay here." Christy sniffled. "I just don't think I can stay there not knowing what he's gonna say to me or do to me whem he comes back." She dropped her head in her hands and cried some more. "God I don't deserve him!" She wailed.

"Oh it's nothing hun. I think he just needs some time to think that's all." Maria said.

"Yea what Ria said...Ria can I talk to you over there sweetie?" Jeff said. Maria nodded and followed him over to the corner.

"What is it baby?" She cooed.

"Why are we always the ones to open up our room when somebody needs us?" Jeff asked innocently.

"Because they need us and we're their friends so we're not gonna just turn away from them."

"Oh. Right...damn." Maria rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and kissed him quickly before turning away, only to be pulled back gently by her arm and smirked at her. "Do we really have to go check on her right now?" He said kissing her neck. " Can't we have a few minutes together for once. Alone. In the bedroom. On our king sized bed. With a matress filled with feathers. So soft and comfortable. Plenty of room for you to strecth out and..spread out." He said. She giggled and pushed him away gently, but not before kissing his nose.

"We'll have time for that later baby, but tonight Christy comes first." She shrugged. Jeff sighed and nodded and they both walked back over to her.

"Sorry for ruining your night Jeff." Christy sniffled. He shook his head.

"Ehh forget it. I was just kidding hun. You're all good." Jeff said with a smile.

"Thanks. Oh god, I feel so awful. Like...how could I do this to him? I was being so stupid. I should've never cheated with Chris." She said with a frown.

"Honey listen to me. You are a good girl. Any guy would kill to be with you. Just like how I killed myself to be with Maria. I'm pretty sure if you prove yourself to Alex that he'll take you back in a heartbeat. Just make it known to him that you don't want Chris, but him. And then go tell Chris off." Jeff said.

"So you're saying...that if I can make it to Victoria's secret in 1 hour...by the hottest set of lingerie there...go to Pink and get a really cute jumpsuit...and sneak into his apartment by tomorrow...I can win him back...?" Christy said nodding slowly. Jeff just stared at her confused.

x-20 minutes later-x

"Where the hell did you get all that from?" Jeff said confused as he didn't know what. The silence was just now being broken. Maria scratched her head confused herself.

"That's what you just said." Christy said wide-eyed.

"No...I said prove to him that you don't want Chris." Jeff said.

"That's what I heard." Maria said.

"See she heard the thing about Pink and Vicky too!" Christy exclaimed.

"No."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"I don't know! I'm so confused!" Maria screamed. She ran into the room and slammed the door.

"Great. Now you've confused her. Nice goin Christy." Jeff said following Maria. Christy sat there confused herself for a few minutes before she heard giggling and chuckling...then kissing...then-

"Ewwwww! Oh great! You guys just rock!" Christy shouted.

"Go to sleep!" They yelled.

Christy was running around the apartment trying to make sure that everything was perfect. She lit the last candle and threw the liter on the counter. She was wearing a tight black mini dress with some 4 inch silver stilettos. The dinner was cooked and prepared and set out. The lights were dimmed and the flames flickered off the walls. She breathed steadily and went and stood next to the door within a few moments she heard the knob turn and the door opened overing her. It stayed like that for about a minute before the door closed. Alex stepped into her view and tossed his keys on the cofffee table.

"What the heck is all this?" Alex muttered. Christy walked up slowly behind him and put her hands over his eyes.

"Guess who?" She whispered. Alex sighed and turned around to face her.

"Christy what do you want? I'm not really up for talking to you right now." Alex said.

"Then don't talk baby. Just listen. Please?" She asked. Alex put his hands on his hips.

"Talk." He said.

"Baby look. I'm so sorry. I know what I did was wrong, but I swear if you just give me another chance a final chance then I swear I'll prove to you that I don't want Chris. I want you and only you. I only did what I did, because I didn't want you to lose your bestfriend, but I guess...either you lost him. And me. I want you to forgive me to love me again. I can't stand not being with you at night. I miss resting my head on your chest and playing with your short hair and calling you my little monkey. I miss having water balloon fights with you and wrestling on the floor to see who the new champ will be. I miss it all." Christy said.

"Wow. If you miss all that in one day then your either crazy or you just really love me." Alex said.

"Both." Christy said nodding. Alex sighed again.

"Christy. I didn't think I would have to give you a second chance ever. I thought you'd just do right the first time. I thought we'd go all the way Christy. All the way til we die. Together. Guess I was wrong." Alex started.

"Alex!" Christy exclaimed close to tears.

"Why would you even do something like that. You obviously weren't thinking about me and don't say yes you were, because you would've considered simply coming to me and discussing the issue with me! Now I can't be mad with Chris really, because you were the one being even stupider! I mean of course I can get mad at him, but what good will it do? None! Gosh Christy you come here and try to fix things and you just make it worse. A hell of a lot worse." He said. He grabbed his keys and started for the door. He paused for a second. "You just need a really good wake up call Christy." He said before walking off. Christy began crying immediately and she collasped to the floor.

"Alex. Alex come back." She cried. "You can't leave me." She wailed. She was now hunced over on the floor hair sprawled in her face and her head resting on her forearm. She used her other hand and clutched her stomach with it. "I'm pregnant."
