***Nick***
I walked into Maggies room early the next morning, with BJ at my side, I couldn't sleep the night before, I kept tossing and turning, the day before's events running through my head, I had known Maggie since forever and had never seen her like that, I know she just lost her baby, But seeing her like that had really broken my heart, I knew AJ and Mggie needed each other more than anyone realized.
Anyway; we walked into Maggies room and stopped, a smile creeping up my face, there in AJ's arms lay Maggie, I just watched the two sleep peacefully, when you see Maggie you wouldn't think that someone like AJ would make her so happy, they were completly opposite.
Maggie was shy, some-what quiet, and an all round good girl, where AJ was this wild, loud, party-animal, bad-boy; yet they fit together so perfectly, AJ started to wake up and I smiled down at him.
"Morning bone" I replied with grin, BJ was standing next to me, with the biggest smile she could have.
"Morning" AJ replied back sleepily.
***AJ***
I woke up and looked around, I couldnt remember where I was, then I saw Nick and Beej standing at the door, I turned my head a little to the left and smiled as I remembered I had fallen asleep next to Maggie, I watch as she curled up a little closer to me, her face still red from all the crying, this is perfect I thought happily to myself, I could get used to waking up with Maggie in my arms I thought, then turned to the two smiling faces from the door.
"Morning" I replied, as I slowly tried to get up without waking Maggie up,
"So what happened" Beej asked excitedly, as she smiled at me, I just chuckled at her,
"you need to get your own love life" I teased her, but her smile just got bigger,
"Actually I've got one ... remember" she said back, both Nick and I just glarred at her,
"with him, not likely" Nick remarked, BJ just looked at him,
"why, because he's a singer?" she asked, getting annoyed,
"no, because he's from Nsync" Both Nick and I remarked, she just glarred at us, then changed the subject.
"Are you two an item?" she asked, her whole face lighting up.
"no," I said shaking my head, then going back to watching Maggie sleep.
"come on bro, you need to get somthing to eat, we'll just go down to the caferteria, and Beej can stay here" Nick said I looked from Maggie to Beej then smiled when I realized I hadn't eaten anything the day before,
"Okay" I agreed, I kissed her on the cheek lightly, before getting up and walking out with Nick.
***Maggie***
I slowly started to wake up and looked around, my heart sunk when I realized that AJ wasn't there, but then I noticed someone sitting at the end of the room reading a magazine,
"Morning sleeping beauty" BJ joked as she put the book down and walked up to my bed, I grinned at her and gave her a big hug,
"how you feeling?" she asked going very serious, very quickly, I smiled and lay back down
"Much better then yesterday" I replied, but my mind slipped back to the baby that I had just lost,
"I spoke to Denise, and she helped me a lot" I answered quietly, then looked back at a concerned BJ and smiled,
"So..." I started, wanting to change the subject "I hear through the grape vine that you and Mr. J.C Chasez are a couple" I asked excitedly, she smiled at me, and nodded,
"Well sit down and tell me details girlfriend" I joked as she laughed, then she hugged me,
"What was that for?" I asked confused,
"even though I havent seen you for years, you still my best friend, and thanks for being happy about Jc and me, everyone else is mad," she trailed off, I just grinned at her,
"Well he is a major hottie" I joked then smiled,
"Don't worry Beej, they'll come through" I told her,
"Promise you wont move away again" she asked, her eyes clouding over
"I promise" I told her then we hugged again,
"Okay .... okay .... details" I replied making my self comfortable while she told me EVERYTHING about Jc and her.
After a while Nick and AJ come back.
"Hey ladies, whats going on here?" AJ asked from the door, I grinned at the two of them,
"just girly talk" I told AJ, and gave BJ a wink.
"Okay ... don't wanna know anymore" Nick joked, but you could see the saddness in BJ's eyes,
"well here, we bought you these from all of us" Nick said pulling out a dozen pink roses,
"ahh, they beautiful" I said, as Nick put them in the vase and walked up to me, and gave me a hug,
"how you feeling" he asked, I grabbed AJ's hand and smiled at Nick,
"better" i replied with a smile, after an hour or so, Nick and BJ left, I made BJ promise to bring JC with next time she came.
AJ and I just sat there, not really knowing what to say to each-other, I knew I had a lot of explaining to do, we had been through so much together especially over the last few days, there was so much to say, but neither knew where to begin.
"I think we need to talk" I whispered, he grabbed my hand and sat closer,
"I know" he replied bearly above a whisper.
***AJ***
I just stared at her, she said we needed to talk, but where do we start, how could I confess what hell I went through because I was missing her so much.
"I'm so so sorry" she whispered, "I should of told you that night that we were moving, I was going to, but then we got into that huge fight and I ... I don't know" she trailed off,
"Shhh ... its okay" I told her, pulling her closer to me
"Just let me start" I told her,
"I'm really sorry too, I've loved you since way before the prom, and I always dreamed you would tell me you felt the way I did, but I don't know what happened to me that night .... I guess I got scared, I had never really thought of what I would do if you ever confessed, and when you did, it just freaked me out," I told her honestly, Then I brought her hand up to my lips and kissed her hand softly,
"I was a fool, when I found out that you moved and didnt tell me, my whole world fell apart, and I kept blaming myself, Thats when I discovered Jack Daniels, and when I realzed, if I drank enough JD I could get the pain away, I very quickly became addicted to it.
"Once the JD started wearing off, I needed that peace .... that rush .... so I went to Cocain," I whispered I couldnt look at her, I was so ashamed of myself, I had always promised myself that I wouldnt go the "Drugs .... Sex ... and rock n roll" route, but thats the exact way I had gone, this was the first time that I spoke to anyone about my drinking and drug promblem.
"Alex .... look at me" Maggie whispered, I looked up at her and saw a tear rolling down her cheek,
"its not your fault" she told me gently,
"But you need to get help" she whispered, as she gave me a hug, I hugged her back so tightly, I didnt want to let her go, I had dreamed about holding her in my arms one day, and now that day has come, I never wanted to let go.
***Maggie***
I sat their stunned, I had no idea that it was because of me that Alex had changed so much, I always thought he had just got caught up in the whole "Rockstar" scene, Everytime I heard about him my heart broke and I wondered if he even remembered me, deep down I knew he wouldnt just forget me, but the thought still kept creeping into my mind, the whole time I thought he had everthing, and I realized that the one thing he wanted to most, was me.
We just sat there in silence,
"Maggie" AJ whispered, I looked up at him and smiled,
"yeah" I asked,
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked bearly above a whispered, I grinned at him
"Yes Alex, i'd love to" I told him, throughing my arms around his neck.
"Can I have this dance" he asked, putting out his hand, I took it, and he helped me stand up,
We slowly swayed to be beautiful song,
"This can be our song, because today is A new day" He whispered, I put my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist.
A new day
A new day
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on, and don't shed a tear
Trough the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush, now I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
Where it was dark
Now there's light
Where there was pain
Now there's joy
Where there was weakness
I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush, now I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
The new day has come...
Hush, now I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of a boy
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Hush now (ha-ah a new day ha-ah)
Hush now (ha-ah a new day ha-ah)
