Chapter 14

“Lori,” AJ said holding her hand. “Lori? Can you hear me?” He shook Lori a little. He had
fallen on top of her when the dock shook from the wreck. “Oh my god.” He listened to see if
she was breathing. He knew that she was breathing, but he was still worried. She had hit her
head on the dock pretty hard and he knew that she needed to go to the hospital.

AJ ran over to where Kevin was lying. He had crashed the jet ski on the very end of the dock
and had managed to slide on his stomach the entire length of the dock. “Kev, are you
okay?” AJ asked. He tried to help him up, but Kevin just grimaced in pain. “Dude, I bet you
have some major ball burn.” AJ joked.

“Not funny,” Kevin replied. “More like splinters in that area. Where’s Jenn?”

“Right here,” Jenn replied climbing up on the dock. “Thanks Jay for showing concern for
me.”

“Well, now we all have to go to the hospital,” AJ replied. “You need to get those um splinters
looked at Kev and Lori is still unconscious.” He rounded everyone up after Kevin and Jenn
got their clothes back on. AJ called the paramedics and there was an ambulance on the way.
AJ sent everyone else, but Kevin and Jenn, home with a promise to call them in the morning
to tell them how Lori was.

AJ had managed to carry Lori up to the house and laid her on the couch to wait for the
paramedics. She had stirred a couple of times, but she never stay awake. AJ was worried.
He thought that this was just typical on the night that they make that next step that there
would be something wrong. AJ could hear Kevin screaming in the other room. He also heard
Jenn yell out, “Wow. That’s a big one!” AJ cringed. He tried to get Kevin to stay out in the
living room so the medics could take a look at the splinters, but Kevin said that he didn’t
believe in doctors and he would get them out himself. Jenn was happy to help him do it. She
had been cussing him dirty the entire time for not paying attention to where he was going and
wrecking the jet ski. Kevin apologized to AJ and offered to buy him a new jet ski.

“Please God. Don’t let her be hurt. I just now got her back into my life and I don’t want to lose
her again. Please, God. I love her,” AJ said sitting there holding Lori’s hand. He had tears
streaming down his face.

The paramedics got there and Lori still hadn’t woken up yet. They took her to the hospital
and AJ went with her. He told Kevin and Jenn that he would call them once Lori woke up.




****************

“Oh God.” Lori woke up with a jolt, but that only made her head ache worse than it already
was. “Oh my God. Someone kill me now.” She laid back down and put her hand to her face.
She could see that she was in a hospital room, but she wasn’t sure where she was or why she
was there. There wasn’t anyone in the room. She was all by herself. She couldn’t remember
what had happened at the party. All she could remember was kissing AJ and that was it. The
memory brought a smile to her face. She was so excited that her and AJ had worked things
out. She called the nurse and the doctor came in to check her out. He told her that she had
suffered from a mild concussion. She had been unconscious overnight and she would have
to stay an extra night at the hospital to make sure that everything was okay and then she
would be able to go home. “Thanks,” Lori said to him as he left the room.

“Your welcome, Mrs. McLean. I’m glad that you’re feeling better.” Lori’s jaw dropped. The
doctor left the room and Lori looked around frantically for a file or something with her name
on it. She grabbed the file at the end of her bed and starred at it. There it was. It said that
her name was Lori Ann McLean.

“Oh my God. Can this day get any worse?” Lori asked out loud. “Great. We just got back
together and now he’s passing me off as his wife? That’s not happening at all. I got to tell
someone the truth.” She turned over and was going to push the call button again when AJ
appeared in the door.

“Oh my God! Lori I was so scared that you weren’t going to wake up,” AJ exclaimed rushing
over to her bed. He kissed her and pulled her into a hug.

“AJ, the doctor called me Mrs. McLean. What the hell is going on?” Lori asked. “I mean
seriously. We can’t let them think that we’re married.”

“Baby, it’s the only way I’ll let my insurance cover it. I told them that we had just gotten
married last night and that we eloped so you won’t have to pay for anything.”

“I don’t know, AJ,” Lori replied. “It’s a little too soon, don’t ya think?” She smiled at him.

“It’s never too soon,” AJ replied leaning down to kiss her. “We’ve been in love for a long
time.”

“Alex, isn’t it called insurance fraud? I mean, you’re freaking me out right now. Let’s just
take one day at a time, okay? I don’t want to get all caught up in the moment with you and do
something stupid,” Lori said laughing.

“Doing something stupid? With me?” AJ asked. He smiled at her and held her hand.

“Oh my god. You never change do you?” Lori asked.

“Well, I got to go call Mom and everyone else to let them know that you’re up and okay,” AJ
said leaning down to kiss her. “I’ll be right back.” He left the room and Lori laid back down
and let everything sink in.

***********

Jenn and Kevin were being very frisky that morning. Well, as frisky as Kevin could be.
Needless to say, Jenn got most of the attention. Kevin had been in terrible pain ever since
New Years. Jenn couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, but then again it was kind of funny to
her. She felt that he deserved severe ball burn, even though riding the jet ski naked was her
idea. She always liked getting even with Kevin. She thought that it was so much fun.

The phone rang while they were having breakfast. Kevin was at her house all of the time
now. Jenn picked up the phone and was delighted to hear that Lori was awake and okay. She
did feel bad about what had happened to her. That definitely was not in the plan for that
evening. She also didn’t know if Lori and AJ got to work things out or anything. She hoped
so. She was happy to have Kevin back into her life and she hoped that Lori would find that
happiness too.

“We need to go to the hospital soon,” Jenn said to Kevin as soon as she hung up with AJ.
“Lori’s up. She just has a mild concussion, but they are going to keep her a couple more days
just in case something else is wrong.”

“That’s good news,” Kevin replied finishing up his eggs. “I’ll take a shower while you finish
up here, okay?” He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

“Okay, I’ll be right up,” Jenn replied. “Oh sweetheart. Maybe you should have yourself
checked out while we’re at the hospital?”

“That’s probably a good idea,” Kevin replied grimacing in pain as he walked up the stairs.

*********

“You guys are all so sweet!” Lori said as she received some more flowers to add to the
dozens AJ had ordered for her. “You guys didn’t have to bring me anything. Especially you.”
She pointed to AJ and he leaned down and gave her a kiss. Everyone whistled and made
obnoxious noises. Lori and AJ both laughed.

It was now the second day that Lori was in the hospital and she was ready to go home. The
doctor had come in earlier and told her what she needed to do just in case something else
came up and she could leave at any time to go home. So, Lori changed into some clothes
Jenn had brought her from the house. She called her parents in North Carolina and let them
know that she was okay and that she was going back home. She left out the part about her
and AJ working things out. She was under the impression that her parents lost a little bit of
respect for AJ when things ended between them the way that it did. The guys were headed
off to Sweden the next morning, so Lori made AJ stay home and pack. She heard a rumor that
her and Jenn were going to be kidnapped and flown with them to Sweden too. Lori was a
little reluctant to go because she knew that Donna, her manager, would be calling her very
soon to tell her when her album was going to be released. It was being reviewed by Jive’s
top executives right now and they would determine if there were to be any changes or
whatnot to the album before it is released.

Jenn and Lori piled into her car and left the hospital to go home. Lori was so excited to be
home. Lori called AJ and told him that she was at Jenn’s house and that she would be over in
ten minutes. It was more like five minutes when she actually rang the door bell at AJ’s.

He whipped open the door and Lori attacked him with kisses. “We need to have sex, NOW.”
Lori said pulling his shirt above his head and unbuckling his belt.

“Jesus, Lori. I think you’re worse than me. Shit,” AJ replied laughing. “When did you get this
passion?”

“Oh please, Alex. All we ever have done was make love. Right now, I don’t want that. And it’
s been way too long,” Lori said running up the stairs taking one piece of clothing off every
other step. AJ stood at the bottom of the stairs with his pants around his ankles and noticed
his shirt was thrown into the plant by the door.

“My God. I think I am in heaven. Thank you God!” AJ ran up the stairs and into his bedroom
where Lori was waiting for him.

*********************

“So, when exactly can you have sex again?” Jenn asked Kevin. They were talking on the
phone for once because they both were packing for the trip to Sweden. “Cause I mean, we’ll
be off for awhile and I might want to you know.”

“Too bad,” Kevin replied with a smile. “You get nothing for at least a month.”

“Fine then,” Jenn said grabbing her cell phone. “Since you will be out of commission for
awhile, I think that I will need to make a few phone calls.” She scrolled through her phone list
to see who she had still left in her phone. “ Let me see, there was Mark from Paris. That was
the one I was talking to on the plane that one time. He was definitely a good lay. Hmm. Oh
there’s Josh and, oohh, Blake. I will definitely have to keep him in mind.” Of course there
wasn’t anyone in there, but if Kevin thought there was then he might comply to her needs
before the scheduled time.

“Don’t start that, Jenn,” Kevin replied. He knew that she was bluffing. “We’ll see what
happens, okay?”

“Fine. I will see you when you get your ass over here, right?” Jenn zipped up her suitcase
and man handled it to the stairs. Just in case, she grabbed the box of condoms on her
dresser and shoved them into her overnight bag.

“I just finished up packing, so I will see you in about twenty minutes,” Kevin said. “See ya.
Love you.”

“Love you too,” Jenn replied hanging up the phone. “Lori? Are you done packing yet?”
There was no response. Jenn went to Lori’s bedroom and saw that it was a wreck. “Lovely.”
She went downstairs and saw that one of her random bowls of condoms was tipped over and
emptied. “No shit! She took my damn warming sensation condoms! Fuck!”

She looked at the time and saw that Kevin would be over in a couple of minutes. She quickly
stripped her clothing off and sat on the couch facing the front door. She got another idea
and ran upstairs. She got her whip and her black leather boots out of the closet and put them
on. She ran back downstairs and she heard a car pull into the driveway. She quickly took her
position by the couch and got ready to crack the whip.

**********

Lori turned the door knob just as Kevin pulled up. She waited on him to get to the door
before she opened it. She opened the door once she said hello to Kevin and laughed at his
limp. She walked in the entry way and stopped when she heard the cracking whip. She
immediately put her hands over her eyes and turned around. When the image of Jenn naked
in a Dominatrics outfit finally registered to her brain she let out the loudest scream of her
life. She immediately ran out of the room and ran upstairs, shrieking the whole way.

She was already feeling dirty after her little three hour session with AJ, but this just made her
feel really disgusting, like she had been raped or something. She immediately jumped into
the shower and stayed there for forty-five minutes. She could hear Jenn yelling through the
bathroom door, but she chose to ignore it. Jenn stopped yelling and Lori turned off the
shower and walked into her room. She had to pack.

*************

Three days later they were in Sweden. Lori and Jenn had gone almost everywhere to see the
sights while the guys were recording. Lori was constantly looking at her cell phone every
hour. She was really anxious for that phone call from Donna. Jenn had been on her cell
phone a lot too. She had been communicating with Denise about the album release. Her and
Denise were really tired of being managers and they had talked to the Boys more than once
about finding new management. They had given them a deadline. They would manage up
until Millenium was released, but they were not going to do it for the upcoming tour. They
also had to plan for all of the promotional stuff that was coming up once the Boys were out of
the studio.

Lori was sitting in her room with Nick one night when her cell phone rang. Nick had been sick
and was unable to go to the studio that day. So, he was spending time with Lori while Jenn
was on a conference call with the record label in the other room.

“Hello?” Lori answered. She sounded really excited. Nick knew that she had been awaiting
anxiously for any news about her album. She had worked hard on it and was very proud of it.
Nick said that he would be the first in line to go get it when it came out. He had heard some
of the demos and he liked the sound of it, not to mention the songs that she had sung during
the tour last year.

“Yeah?” Nick stood up and looked out the window. The weather was rainy and it went with
the way he felt.

“What?! Are you serious?! There has to be a mistake or something!” Nick turned around and
saw tears streaming down Lori’s face. “Okay. I understand. Bye.” Nick could barely make
out those words, they were spoken so quietly.

He saw her look down at her feet and then she began to sob loudly and he ran over to her
and wrapped his arms around her. She obviously couldn’t talk and he just sat there with her
and held her until she was ready to talk.
