She stared at her phones screen. The last message words were burning into her brain. 'He slept with Rochelle.' She blinked and shook her head, hoping that she was seeing things, but no those were the words on the screen. 'Are you ok?' the next bubble read. Was she ok? NO! She wasn't ok. Her boyfriend was sleeping with a woman he had sworn to kill. He swore he hated her and everything about her. Tears began to fall down her face.
She typed the words 'No not okay, but I will be.' then added a smiley face. She curled up on her bed and hugged her pillow and cried. She felt ashamed then guilty. What was wrong with her? Was she not thin enough, or was she too thin? Was she not pretty enough? Obviously the sex wasn't good for him. What was it that didn't satisfy him? How could he sleep with that woman? She was married. How could she cheat on her husband?
Laura picked up her phone and googled images of AJ McLean. The first picture that appeared was him in a white sheet like wrap, that was around his hips, the only thing else it looked like he had on was a pair of socks and a hat. She was looking him over. He was fit, she sighed. He was about to be single again. Laura shook her head.
She closed the page then clicked her phone power button so the phone went to sleep. she just lay there numb. Her phone chimed with the Indiana Jones theme. She picked up the phone to see a message from the weird bunch group on her messenger. 'you okay Laura?' the message read. It was from Neo.
She gave a thumbs up to him. She took a jagged breath, 'Not really, but I will be.' she said.
'want me to kick his ass for you?' Neo asked.
The message made Laura smile. 'No, but thank you.' she texted back.
She looked at the screen the three dots at the bottom of the message board let her know someone was typing. 'Dude, it's nice of you to ask her but we're already grouping up so get over here!' the message read. 'We're going to beat some sense in to this dumb ass. God only knows what the hell he was thinking fucking that bitch.' Raz texted.
The messages stopped coming. she put her phone down. Lilo curled up on the bed next to her. Her cat always knew when she needed to cuddle. Her phone chimed again this time it wasn't her messenger but twitter. She looked over at her phone. It was a DM from someone. she picked it up and looked at the notifications. Her eyes opened wide at seeing the screen. The first one said AJ McLean's official twitter account was following her. the second one was a direct twitter message from HIM.
Laura sat up and swiped open the twitter app. She clicked on the DM button, then on AJ's message to her. 'I don't know if you know yet, but Danny and Ro have been sleeping together. I actually caught them in the act. I'm so sorry Laura. I just want you to know, that I am here for you. if you want to talk or need anything let me know, please. I know we haven't talked in over 10 years, but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about you.'
Laura blinked the tears back. 'I did hear. I'm sorry that you walked in on that, I'm sure you are heartbroken, and miserable. if you need to talk feel free to message me.' she typed back.
She looked down as a new message popped up 824-843-3221 was all that was there and it was blue. She pushed her finger on the blue numbers on the screen. The phone instantly dialed the number. "hello?" she heard him say.
"Hi." she said softly.
"Laura?" he asked with a tone of hope in his voice.
She took a deep breath, what was she doing. "yes." she answered.
"How are you doing, really?" she heard AJ asked. "Don't tell me you'll be fine. and that you're going to be ok. I want to know how you really are feeling right now."
She couldn't stop the tears. "Not well." was all she said,
Alex didn't need more then that, her crying told he everything he needed to know. "Tell me what I can do to make it a little better." he said in a kind tone.
Laura laughed a little. "I don't think there is anything that can make it a little better, not right now anyway." she said then wiped the tears from her face. "I know once my sister gets home she will be all over the how are you. What can I do to make you feel better. And I know there will be more messenger convos about how are you, what can we do, I'm sorry. You will be okay. He doesn't know what he is losing out on. And to be honest. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to feel pitied, I don't want someone feeling sorry for me. and I don't want to be heartbroken and dealing in front of everyone. I want to get somewhere and just do what I need to, to get over it." she said into the phone.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked. Truth be told he wanted to go somewhere remote and out of most peoples per-view. He knew his "Brothers", when they found out, would be all hovering over him to make sure he didn't drink or do drugs. His mom would be on the first flight to LA to sit with him and make sure he was ok.
"Honestly Alex, I want to go somewhere, where my cellphone wont pick up a signal, where no one knows who I am, where the only reason I would have to be around other people would be if I needed to pick up groceries. Somewhere if I needed to step out side and scream, no one would come running. Some place I could just go and do what I need and want without someone telling me it's wrong." Laura said into the phone.
"Like a cabin in the woods out side of some Podunk town where people smile and say hi, but don't ask your life story?" he asked. Cause lord knows he could get behind something like that. Just a cabin where if he wanted to fuck someone until he couldn't see the bitches face he could.
"Yes." she said.
Alex was sitting at the computer. He had been looking for a place just like she described before she even called. "What if I told you, that's what I wanted and that I was searching for just that kind of place before we started talking." he said.
"I would say great minds think alike." she laughed.
Alex clicked on a file that was locked on his computer and put in the pass code. It opened, he clicked on the single photo in the file. It opened. There on the screen was Laura, she was topless, her arm across the front of her breast, with a sweet innocent smile on her face. His cock jumped to full attention. The photo was ten years old, but it was something he had beaten off to millions of times over the coarse of 10 years. "Would you be willing to go with me?" he asked. He opened his pants, pulled his cock out and began to stroke it.
Laura had laid down on her bed. "Just you and me?" she asked, the thought of him and her alone in a cabin made her excited and nervous at the same time.
"Yes, you and me. No sister, no boys, no moms. Just us. I mean we are the ones who have to deal with this right. So we go and we do what WE need to do." he said slowly stroking. "No judgements. Just healing."
Laura lay there. "How long?"
