Goodbye to You

Chapter 1

“OW...ow ow ow that hurt!” Vicky cursed in pain. She had stubbed her big toe against the foot of her four-poster bed after tripping on a skirt that was lying on the floor. Now hopping around her room holding her foot in one hand whispering curses to herself, she tried to button her shirt with the other.

Her room was usually always neat and tidy but now with the amount clothes that were laying all over the place you could barely see the floor. She had looked for hours for the perfect outfit as it was her first day at her new job. She had stressed over what to wear to make a good impression on her new boss and to fit in with the other staff.

She finally decided on her smart black skirt that hung just above her knee with small slits up each side and a red open neck dress shirt. She decided that this outfit was classy yet not too showy for work.

Brushing her straight, brown, mid-length hair into a half-up, half-down style and fixing it with a gold hair slide she turned to her vanity table and went to work on her make-up. She didn’t want to put too much on just for work so she only applied a touch of mascara and a dab of lip-gloss. She already had good looks so she could have done without any make up and still look gorgeous. After checking her reflection one more time in her full length mirror attached to her wall, she walked out of her room, closing the door behind her and walking towards the kitchen.

Pushing the swinging door open to the kitchen, Vicky found her best friend and roommate, Jen, sitting at the kitchen table sipping coffee and eating a bowl of cereal. As Vicky walked into the room, Jen looked up from her magazine that she was reading and stared at her best friend.

“Whoo-woo!” she wolf whistled. “Are you sure you’re just going to work?” Vicky’s expression on her face went into a picture of horror at this comment and she immediately began to panic.

“Why? Is my blouse too low cut? The skirt is too short isn’t it?” Vicky had never had much self confidence when it came to her dress sense but then Jen was the more fashionable one of the two friends. Vicky never bothered with fashion as she liked things she could feel comfy in rather than have to suck in her stomach to have the ‘latest fashionable’ pants. Although, Jen was usually the one she would turn to for clothes if they were going to a club or something.

Vicky and Jennie had known each other all the way through high school. They both decided to go to the same university but because the rooms on campus had been too expensive, both girls decided to buy an apartment that was close to the university. They equally shared the rent that was due every month, along with a deep blue beetle Volkswagen convertible car.

“No, you look perfect! Don’t worry you’ll do fine.” Jen said in a sincere tone.

“Good. The last thing I need on my mind today is how I look.” Vicky said, with a rather relieved look on her face. She walked towards the kitchen counter where the toaster sat and placed two rounds of bread into the tiny slits.

“Mark called for you…he said he would pick you up at around eight o’clock. He said you would know what it meant.” Jen stated without taking her eyes off her magazine. Mark was Vicky’s boyfriend of two years after they had gotten together at a party at the beginning of the school year.

“Oh yeah…we’re going to Jake Sullivan’s party…you know, from Marks psychology class…well he’s having a party tonight as his place. You can come if you want?” Vicky said as she started to scrape chocolate spread onto her now toasted bread. Jen shook her head.

“Can’t hun…have to finish that dress I’m making for design class remember?” she said as gulped down the rest of her coffee and walked to the dishwasher before placing her dirty dishes in it.

“Oh yeah…well if you fancy it just drop by! Are we having lunch together today? I get off at about twelve thirty so just stop by and we’ll go to ‘JO’s’ round the corner.” Jen just nodded her head in response before pulling a disgusted look at Vicky’s choice of breakfast.

Vicky smiled and sunk her teeth into her toast making the melted chocolate ooze and Jen’s face grimace. Vicky quickly finished her toast and wiped her chocolaty mouth and laughed at her friend before placing her plate and coffee cup into the dishwasher. She then turned on her heel after a second or two to look at Jen with a slight grin forming at the corner of her lips and a kind of mischievous glint in her eye as she poured Jen a fresh cup of coffee. Jen smiled in thanks and continued reading her magazine, while listening to what Vicky was saying. “Did I tell you what my new job was?”

“No, what?” she asked, not bothering to look up from her magazine, sipping at her freshly poured coffee.

“Oh you know…nothing big. I’m only assistant buyer to...oh I dunno...all the celebrities!” Vicky answered with an excited look on her face. Jen’s head snapped up away from her magazine to look at her best friend. Judging from the look on Jen’s face, Vicky continued to brag. “I thought that might get your attention. That’s right babes, I get to help celebrities pick out their clothes all day long!” she exclaimed, the sickening smile now spreading all over her face.

“Oh my God! I am so jealous…you lucky bitch! OO! If you meet Ewan McGregor, make sure you get his autograph!” Jen said with an envious look on her face. She had been a fan ever since Moulin Rouge hit the cinemas. “How the hell did you manage to get that job? Don’t you have to be one of those ‘nose-up turned’ snobs to do that sort of thing?!”

“Apparently not! Just a couple of body movements towards a young male interviewer and the job was in the bag!” Vicky explained while Jen’s mouth dropped open in awe at the comment her friend had just made. “Uh…Jen...I was joking!” Jen’s shocked face quickly disappeared, only to pop up again five seconds later when she heard what Vicky said next.

“Nah all I had to do was sleep with the guy…it was the worst hour of my life.” Once again Jennie’s mouth opened in shock and Vicky relished this. “Oh my god you’re just so easy! I just have good references...I’m not a slut!” Jennie turned back to her magazine a little ashamed for falling for the same thing twice.

Vicky laughed at her friend once more and turned to the tiny mirror that was on the wall and quickly re-applied her lip-gloss. Vicky had worked in a small café with Jen for about half a year but she wanted a change so she went looking for another job and finally managed to snag this great opportunity. Obviously she quit at the café, as you do! Vicky giggled at her friend once more before picking up her bag and slinging it over her shoulder, grabbing a jacket and heading for the front door. She had a few butterflies fluttering in stomach as if it was the first day of school or something but tried to push them away, concentrating on the day ahead.

****

Vicky pulled open the door to her new job and looked around. She had been told by her new boss to head straight to the staff room when she arrived to retrieve her name tag and instructions. Vicky looked around and eventually saw a wooden door with the word ‘STAFF’ printed on it on walked towards it, knocking on it lightly.

“Come in,” a male voice called. She pushed the door open and walked through trying to seem as confident as she possibly could. She saw a man sitting down on a couch flipping through a clipboard with a couple of other men standing by their lockers attaching their name tags and fixing their ties. As she walked in, the man on the couch looked up and smiled. “Hi, I’m Todd. I'm the manager, your Vicky right?” offering a hand for her to shake.

“Yeah, nice to meet you,” she said as politely as she could whilst shaking his hand. She noticed that the two men over by the lockers had now turned around and were looking at her. They were running their eyes over her and she started to feel insecure. She had always hated the way men checked her out like that, they could never do it subtly and thought that women actually liked it. She attempted to ignore them as best as she could and concentrated on what Todd was saying to her. He complimented her on how well dressed she was and handed her her name tag which she then attached to her blouse. He then showed her where her locker was, which just happened to be in between the two men’s lockers. “Oh Vicky, this is Danny and Chris.” Danny was a little taller than her and had short brown hair and deep blue eyes and Chris was of the same build and had light brown hair and amazing green eyes.

“Hi,” she said politely to the two men before Todd started showing her how to open her locker and told her to find him outside when she had put her things away, leaving her with Danny and Chris.

“So...how old are you?” Chris asked, still running his eyes over Vicky. She looked at him quizzically at his weird question. It wasn’t something you come out with straight after meeting a person.

“Um...22, why?” Chris smiled seductively and licked his bottom lip.

“The perfect age for dating me! So do you think you’ll fall for me?!” Vicky huffed a laugh and slammed her locker shut.

“Only if I was pushed!” she sneered at him before walking out as glamorously as she could. She heard Danny laugh at him as she closed the door behind her and smiled to herself.

Todd showed her how to greet customers straight away instead of just shoving her towards the till and after 15 minutes of instructions left her to fend for herself. Chris had been avoiding her which she liked; she thought that Danny was sweet because he came up to her during the day and introduced himself properly and also apologized for the way Chris had hit on her.

Now well into the second hour of her new job, Vicky was apparently doing quite well according to Todd. After complimenting her on her work, he had explained that she could go on a break in 20 minutes and that she could leave the store if she wished. Her hour lunch break started at 12:30; it was now 12:09 and she was willing the time along.

She had never been one to enjoy work even if it was assisting celebrities (which she hadn’t even been able to do so far) but she was completely strapped for cash and needed a job to pay her share of the rent. Jen had offered to pay this month in full but now that she had a job, Vicky insisted that she could afford it, which was true because this job paid well.

Now all she needed was a celebrity to walk through the door to make this day a whole lot more interesting…

And heres the second chap..... :laugh:

Chapter 2

Dominic Monaghan and Orlando Bloom had been shopping all morning and were starting to get very tired. It was only 12:10pm, and they had left their apartments at 10 o’clock, but then again what use are men when it comes to shopping! They needed a suit of some kind to wear to the premier that was coming up at the Odeon for ‘The Two Towers’ and to Dom it felt like they had been to every shop in London and so far he had only bought a pair of black socks! He looked around to try and find another possible shop and finally spotted one ahead of him with a suit in the window display that was quite eye catching.

“Hey mate, how ‘bout we try in there? Last one though cos my feet feel like there are going to drop off!” he said looking at Orli, and started to walk towards the store.

“Na man…come on, I wanna go home. We’ve been shopping all morning and I can’t feel my legs and I’m pretty sure I have blisters all over my feet!” Orli whined as he walked with his friend. He hated shopping, but ironically had a wardrobe full of weird and wonderful clothes.

“Just this last one ‘k? Then we can go home.”

“Fine…but I want to be sitting down with a beer in my hand in the next half hour!” Dom rolled his eyes at his friend and pulled open the door to the store.

“Jesus this is posh! I don’t have a clue where to start! Um…I guess we need some help…” Dom stated and started looking around for an assistant. He eventually spotted someone near the counter and saw that she was on the phone while writing something down on a post it. She had not noticed them come in so he headed over to her for help.

Vicky was in the middle of trying to explain to some stupid person on the phone that this was not ‘Pizza Hut’ whilst doodling on the notepad in front of her ‘bored now!’ From the corner of her eye she could see a customer coming up to the counter. She quickly hung up the phone, even though the person on the other end was still talking and quickly ripped off the piece of paper she had been doodling on and threw it in the trash.

“Excuse me,” the man’s voice came from behind her and she sun around to meet a pair of blue grey eyes. “Hi Vicky,” he said reading her name tag, “I was just wondering if you could help us?” he said as he waved a hand and motioned to his friend.

“Of course, how can I help you?” Vicky asked, putting on her best smile as she followed him over to his companion. She looked over to where his friend stood and she found that he was very attractive and couldn’t help wishing she was single for a moment! He stood quite a lot taller than his friend and had intensely dark brown eyes. Vicky noticed that as she walked over he was looking at her and smiling a flirtatious grin.

“Well, we both need new suits…but this place is so big we don’t have a clue where to start.” She laughed politely and smiled another dazzling smile.

“Ah…well that’s what I’m here for! What kind of suits were you...” Vicky was going to continue but was interrupted by a very loud…

“Bloody hell! This place isn’t half posh! I’m glad you have a discount card hun! Oh, I’m sorry are you in the middle of something?! Ill just…” Jen quickly shut up and when she realised who Vicky was talking to. “Excuse us for just a sec!” she said as she grabbed Vicky’s arm and dragged her away from the two men.

“Jen what the hell! Are you trying to get me fired!?” Vicky hissed. She looked back at the two men and noticed that they were sort of smirking to themselves and both had turned a kind of red colour in the face. Jen completely ignored Vicky’s angry tone and let a huge smile break out onto her face.

“Do you have any idea who you were just talking to?!”

“Yeah course I do…two, now very frightened men who want to buy suits!” Vicky stated. Jen just laughed at her friend and carried on smiling. “Jen, what is the matter with you?” Vicky hissed. Jen was starting to embarrass her at her new job and if Todd saw, she would lose her job. The only ‘rule’ at Vicky’s new job was that there were no visits from friends during working hours. Jennie had obviously not got that particular memo.

“Okay…now don’t freak out…but those guys over there are Dominic Monaghan and Orlando Bloom!” Jen said as quietly as she could but nearly bursting with excitement. Vicky just looked at her friend with a dull and bored expression on her face.

“Who?”

“They’re actors out of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ movie! You are helping some serious celebs over there!” Vicky would have gotten as excited as her friend if she had a clue who she was talking about.

“Okay…Jen…I have to go back to work now. Just go hover in the background somewhere and ill come and find you when my lunch break starts.” Jen pulled her tongue at her friend and walked off pretending to sulk. Vicky rolled her eyes at her friend and started to head over to where the actors stood. They were now talking to one another and Vicky rehearsed what she was going to say to them to apologise for her friend’s behaviour.

As she walked over, Orli couldn’t help but study her figure. Slinky, was the only word to describe her. The blouse she wore clung in all the right places, showing off her curves; the skirt also having the same effect. The strappy dress shoes she wore made her taller and made her legs look longer which also made her seem even more... slinky. He was knocked back into reality when he realised she had started talking. He also realised that he had been staring and hoped that she hadn’t noticed.

“First of all, I want to apologise for my soon-to-be-dead friend. She told me you were actors and apparently she’s a fan…but I have no idea who you are! She can get kind of...insane! She’s a real film fanatic.”

“No need to apologise…she is correct though…we are actors.” Dom explained. “That’s why we need suits actually...we’re going to the premier and need to look more gorgeous than usual!” Vicky laughed at his comment.

“Well that’s cool! Lets get started…oh wait…I’m actually on my lunch break now…um…if you just wait there for two minutes I’ll go get someone else to help you.” She smiled at them before as she started to walk to the staff room when the taller guy spoke up.

“OR we could go for lunch with you and then come back afterwards?” Vicky turned around again and smiled.

“Um…okay. I only have a half an hour break though?” she stated.

“Well unless you’re planning to order lobster, I’d say you’re safe!” Orli laughed and she giggled along as well.

“Okay…is it cool if I bring my friend along too?” Both men nodded and she walked over to where Jen was looking at some clothes. Orli couldn’t help himself and had to watch her walk away. Dom noticed this and elbowed him in the gut.

“Ow! What was that for?” Orli asked as he massaged his ribs.

“Staring! What…you fancy her or something?!” Dom asked with a smile that went up to his eyes.

“Oh yeah you can talk. I saw the way you were staring at her friend over there!” It was true when Jen had pulled Vicky away earlier Dom had been smiling more than Orli had ever seen before.

Before Dom could say anything else in his defence, Vicky had walked back over with Jen by her side. “Right…we’re all set…this is Jen by the way,” Vicky said as she motioned to Jen standing next to her.

“Cool, hi Jen,” Dom said as he and Orli shook her hand. They all walked out the door with Orli feeling confident that he was going to ask for her phone number.

Chapter 3

The two girls sat down corner booth of ‘JO’s’ whilst the two guys ordered the four coffees. When they came back after ordering their drinks, Dom and Orli sat on one side of the booth and Vicky and Jennie sat opposite them. Vicky was sat in front of Orli, which pleased him as he could watch her every move. Dom had been right earlier in the shop; Orli did kind of have a thing for Vicky even though he had just met her.

“So…now that we’re all sat down…who are you?!” Vicky laughed. The two men laughed and the smaller guy held out his hand for her to shake. She took it and laughed.

“Hi my name is Dominic Monaghan and I play ‘Merry’ in the film ‘The Lord of the Rings’. This bloke on my left is...”

“Orlando Bloom,” he snatched Vicky’s hand out of Dominic’s and kissed her knuckles lightly. She couldn’t help but break out into a smile and she felt her cheeks turning red slightly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear coyly. “Call me Orli. It’s very nice to meet you...Vicky, is it?” Orli questioned with a cheeky and flirtatious grin.

“Um... yeah. Nice to meet you too.” Vicky said, smiling back at him as he let go of her hand. She was so confused and she looked back to where Jennie stood, to see her looking extremely overwhelmed. She slowly turned back toward Orlando, trying to ignore the fact that he was staring at her. “Um…are you in the film too?”

“Yeah I play an elf called ‘Legolas’, he was a great character to play!” he explained. Vicky nodded in recognition before turning back to Dom.

“I’m sorry, but my brain is like a sieve. Who were you in the film again?” she asked Dom. Dom laughed at her comment and started to explain once more while she listened intently. Meanwhile, Orli studied her facial features. He realised that she was a very attractive. He looked at her silky soft hair and tried to hold back an urge to brush the few stray wisps out of her eyes, which were a chocolatge brown colour much like his own. His eyes then wandered down to her lips. They were so full, and with the lip gloss, so shiny and soft looking. He thought of what it could be like to kiss them and feel like to run his hands through her advert worthy hair. Although, he shook the thought out of his head as soon as it had popped in. A girl like that would definitely not be a free agent.

After Dom had finished talking, he tried to get back to reality. He tried to think of something to say to try and make it seem that he hadn’t just been thinking those type of things about someone he had just met, even if she was very attractive. “So…I’m guessing you haven’t seen the film?”

“Um…no...not yet. I am supposed to be soon though,” she explained.

They carried on talking, laughing and joking; Vicky and Jen had always liked ‘JO’s’. It was in the style of a 60’s diner and the seats were made of a squashy shiny leather. Although the noises it sometimes made were a bit rude! Though Dom seemed to find this highly amusing; he seemed like a big kid and that’s what Jennie liked about him. Although this whole situation seemed surreal! Here she was sitting with the Dominic Monaghan and she found herself liking him more and more and not just as a cute actor. Though, she was sure that he would definitely not feel the same even if he was buying them a coffee. He was probably just being nice to a fan girl. A big Hollywood actor, going out with a normal everyday girl; Jen couldn’t see that happening any time soon.

Little did she know that he felt the same way about her. She had totally captured him back at the shop and he couldn’t help but stare at her. She was this absolutely gorgeous, cute and funny girl. One that he definitely wouldn’t mind seeing again and again. Whilst she was in conversation with Orli and Vicky, Dom nodded along as if he was listening when he was really studying her beauty. She had a slim and delicate figure, which he liked very much indeed! She wore faded jeans that hung extremely low on her hips and a tiny, tight black t-shirt which showed her completely flat stomach and a long black cardigan with boots. She had styled her hair so that it was in light waves which framed her face and he also took notice of her side fringe with bits of blonde streaking her light brown hair. Her eyes were the most brilliant colour of hazel he had ever seen with a very, very cute nose. Her lips were a light pink colour and were shiny with the Vaseline that he had watched her apply earlier.

The four of them were so deep in conversation that they were not paying attention to what was going on around them, so when a voice came from behind them, it startled them all.

“Hey! Is this a private party or can anyone join in?” a male voice said that Jen seemed to notice as American. She turned to see who it was and her mouth dropped open in shock. Orli laughed at this slightly before talking to his friend who had a slightly amused expression on his face.

“Lij mate. Pull up chair,” Orli said motioning to the seat that was placed at the table behind them. “Girls, this Elijah Wood...who I’m sure you know!” he said referring to the way Jen had reacted when she heard his voice. She threw a mock glare at him and lightly slapped him on the arm, smiling in hope of covering the embarrassment she was feeling. Orli chuckled at her delicate attempt to hurt him, while Elijah sat down.

“Hey, guys... would you like to tell me where you picked up these two stunning ladies?” Lij said while looking at both of the girls. Elijah smiled at them both while shaking their hands before sitting down next to Jennie, forgetting all about the chair that Orli motioned to earlier.

“Funny story!” Orli started to explain, “We’re shopping for suits for the premier, yeah, and Vicky here…” he said while winking flirtatiously at her, “…walks over to assist us when...”

“Five coffees,” the waitress interrupted as she placed the tray down on the table. Five, Dom thought, we didn’t order five ‘cause Lij wasn’t here then. He pulled a confused face and looked up at the waitress. Obviously knowing what he was thinking she began to explain. “I saw your friend join you and figured he might be staying when he sat down so I added another coffee to your order,” she added with a coy smile.

“Clever…Melissa,” he said peering closely at the badge to make sure he got the name right and flashing a dazzling smile. Dom and Orli exchanged glances, noting Elijah’s pathetic flirting attempts. “I’ll get these ladies. You two can pay for your own!” Elijah said whilst digging in his back pocket for his wallet. Vicky and Jennie giggled with each other while Dom and Orli shot death glares at Elijah whilst digging for their own wallets. Elijah handed enough money to Melissa, and just before she snatched her hand away he placed an extra couple of coins into her palm. “Have one for yourself as well.” He watched as Melissa walked away before looking back at his two friends who were now trying to hold in their own laughter. “What?!”

“Oh and one for yourself sugar lips!” Dom said putting on a girly seductive voice. Orli couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into hysterical laughter followed by the two girls. “What kind of pick up line was that?!” The group quickly shut up laughing when Melissa came back with his change and handed Elijah his receipt with a shy smile. He also noticed she was blushing a little.

“Ah hah! Read it and weep boys! I got her number!” Elijah announced after Melissa had walked away. He held out the receipt so that Orli and Dom could read it.

Call me
201–3465
Melissa
X

Orli and Dom shook their heads in disgust at Elijah’s luck and sipped at their coffees. Vicky and Jennie just giggled at the test of manhood that had just been put forward. Vicky had a quick glance at her watch to see how long she had left till she had to be back at work, only to find out that she only had 3 minutes!

“Shit! I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!” she said as she managed to squeeze past Jennie and Lij and out of the booth before standing herself and straightening her blouse out.

“Since when did you turn into the white rabbit? Calm down.” Vicky smiled apologetically at her before saying goodbye to everyone and walking out of the café. She had just walked out the door when someone stopped her walking by grabbing her shoulder. She turned around to see Dom and Orli standing there. She looked at them with a confused expression on her face.

“We still need suits remember?!”

****

Vicky’s shift ended at 6o’clock, which also happened to be the same time as when the boys had finished buying their suits. She swore that they were worse than women!
They had had a lot of fun that day seen as Orli and Dom were quite the practical jokers and kept choosing the most ridiculous outfits. Dom wore a bright lime green coloured jacket with purple pants, baby blue shirt and red tie for one of his made up outfits. Vicky had almost died laughing at the sight and had to keep it down a little or her boss would have heard.
It was still early but turning dark and chilly as it was the beginning of winter and the two men offered to walk her home. She refused their offer at first but Orli insisted as he wanted to stay with her as long as possible; he had yet to get her phone number. The two actors walked on either side of her; the guys talked about all the fun that they had had when they were making the film and how they were sure to tell everyone who helped them look so gorgeous at the premier. Before they knew it, they had reached her apartment building. She opened the door with her key and turned around to say goodnight.

“Thanks for walking me home. I hope you have loads of fun at the premier and don’t worry you looked fantastic in the suits you chose!” They laughed slightly at her comment and she shot them both a smile. “Well goodnight!” she said before turning around.

“Wait!” Orlando called, “can we have your phone number? Just I…I mean we both…had a lot of fun today and it’d be cool to get together with you and Jen again…just to you know…hang out.”

“Sure…um…” she said digging around in her bag for a pen. “Give me your hand…” she quickly scrawled down her phone number. “There you go! Goodnight guys!”

K that was so much more than a half hour but hey!

Chapter 4

Vicky had just finished applying her lip gloss when Mark turned up at eight to go to the party. As soon as she got home from work she had had three essays’s to write by the next day and also beautify herself for the occasion. She had finally decided on a dark denim mini skirt and a yellow of the shoulder top, with accessories including a yellow handbag, yellow shoes, and yellow jewellery to complete the look.
She walked to the door and pulled it open to see Mark standing there his hands shoved into his jeans pockets and smiling a small shy smile. “Hey baby,� he said before walking up and giving her a kiss. “You ready?� Vicky nodded and quickly grabbed her jacket before following him out the door after calling to Jen that she was leaving.

When they arrived at the party the house was completely packed. The party was one of Mark’s friends called Jake and he had decided to throw a party for his 24th birthday. They had just walked through the front door and entered into a room crammed full of people with smoke stench everywhere and the music pumping so loud Vicky was sure the police were to arrive any minute. She scanned the room quickly and then turned back to look at Mark who strangely enough wasn’t by her side anymore. She opened her mouth to shout out for him but instead choked on the disgusting smoke smell. Deciding she needed fresh air she walked out to the back garden and breathed a sigh of relief when she inhale without smoke filling her lungs.

“Hello again.� A voice that Vicky vaguely remembered spoke up from behind her. She spun around only to see Orlando and Dominic sitting there.

“Hey...too smoky in there for you too?�

“Not for him...� Dominic said pointing to Orlando. “He used to smoke and I'm getting him away from the temptation!�

“Tut tut Orlando! And there was me thinking you were a good boy!� she stated mockingly. Orlando only smiled and rolled his eyes. He ran his eyes over her and took note on what she was wearing. He had only ever seen her in her work clothes and by looking at her now, it was obvious that she had good taste in fashion.

“So are you here with anyone?� he asked politely. Before she could even open her mouth, whistles and cat calls started coming from the house. The three of them ran in to see what was going on and eventually found where the noise was coming from. There on the makeshift dance floor was Mark and some girl getting very, very heated; bumping, grinding, it looked more like an orgy than dancing. Vicky just watched them feeling her heart breaking.
It wasn’t until after the song ended and everyone cheered that Mark looked up to find her looking at him with the saddest look in her eyes. He quickly shoved the girl away from him and walked up to Vicky. “Baby...� Before he could even finish his sentence she turned and walked away from him heading towards the front door. Orli and Dom watched as he chased after her before looking back at the girl who had now already begun to kiss somebody passionately on the lips.

“Vicky wait?!� She spun around to face him figuring she may as well hear his pathetic excuses. “Baby...we were only dancing!�

“That was not just dancing Mark! That was like fucking sex with clothes all remaining in place! For fucks sake! You bring me to a party with you and then just dance like that with some random person! In front of me!�

“For gods sake we were only dancing! You know what screw this...I’m not taking this! We were only dancing!� With that he walked away into the crowds of people. Vicky turned as if to leave the house before slowly turning back around. Why should she leave just because he was still here; she knew deep down that they would find each other later and make-up. She walked towards the kitchen with plans to get incredibly drunk herself when Orli and Dominic walked in.

“Are you okay?� Orli asked in a sympathetic tone. Vicky just looked up at him and smiled.

“Yeah...thanks...anyone wanna get extremely drunk with me?!�

****

Many, many, many, many vodka shots later, Vicky, Orli, and Dom, were all sat outside on the porch step. They stopped drinking about eleven and were now trying to soba themselves so they could find there way home. Most people had left by now and only a few were left trying to find a sink wherever they could to throw up in. Now that they were drinking water, they weren’t one of them! She had been laughing with Orli and Dom all night and hadn’t seen Mark since the ‘incident’.

“Hey guys...what time is it?!� she asked yawning.

“Uh-oh! Someone’s tired Orli! It is 1.30am my dear...would you like to be escorted home...again?!� Dom said putting on a posh English accent.

“Yeah I think that would be good...lemme just go see if I can find that arse of a boyfriend of mine!� With that she got up and walked back into the house, leaving the guys chuckling at her comment. She walked through to the living room area and found Jake sitting there talking to some other guy. She casually walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Hey sorry...but do you know where Mark is?�

“Yeah he’s upstairs in one of the bedrooms...� the other guy started before being interrupted by Jake.

“Taking a nap...I think he had too much to drink. Maybe you should just leave him...he can crash here tonight.�

“Nah that’s okay Jake...we need to talk anyway.� Before he could say another word she had started up the stairs and searching for the bedrooms. Vicky went into the first one and only found an empty child’s room so she moved onto the next one. She heard a noise inside so she slowly pushed it open and crept in. What she saw shattered her heart into pieces. There in the bed was Mark and the girl from the dance floor. She must have gasped louder than she meant to because Mark stopped ‘moving’ and looked at her straight in the eyes.

“Is that just dancing too?� Vicky asked with tears just streaming down her face. Mark just hung his head. Knowing that this was his response Vicky continued.
“Goodbye Mark.�

With that she ran from the house and past Orli and Dom who were still sitting on the porch.



There you go!! :king:

k heres another one! im super nice cos no one replied but i guess u havent seen it yet so this will be a doubly good surprise for ya!

Chapter 5

It had been around 2 weeks since Elijah had met Melissa. He had called her 2 days after receiving her phone number as not to seem too eager, only to hear that she was very shocked when he told her who was calling. He had arranged to meet up with her a couple of time during the past week and they had had a good time together. Sometimes they did nothing, just enjoyed each others company and hung out at each others houses. After gaining her trust and become friends quite quickly, Elijah realised he wanted to be more than friends, after all he was a hopeless romantic and hated being alone. However, it seemed to him that Melissa wasn’t really looking for that kind of relationship.

She was enjoying the fact that she and Elijah could just talk about anything and not feel uncomfortable. Sure she was attracted to him but that thought also scared her; if she did end up going out with him, if they broke up they would lose their friendship. She also did not want to turn into one of those cases of friendship turned into something more. They never worked out.

In fact Melissa hadn’t even been the one to give Elijah her phone number. That was all her roommates, Amy’s idea. Apparently, Amy hadn’t seen Mel date in the past year, so she took it into her own hands by writing Mel’s phone number on the receipt and literally pushing her to the table. Of course, Amy hadn’t realised who she was pushing her friend towards. Melissa had though and she knew very well that it was Elijah Wood she had just given her phone number to. Not that she was complaining when he called of course.

He had turned into one of her best friends and she wasn’t going to complain seen as Amy and Laura, her roommate, were really her only two main friends.

Laura, Mel’s roommate, had recently moved in with her boyfriend, leaving Mel alone in her apartment and with all the rent to pay. Mel didn’t feel any resentment to Laura for moving out, although, she was a little annoyed about having to work double shifts for bills and rent. She hadn’t told Elijah about her little problem as she knew he would only offer her money and she didn’t want to be a charity case. The only people she had told were Vicky, Jen and her other friend Amy from work. She would just have to find a way to make ends meet on her own.


Meanwhile, Dom and Orli had been spending most of their time with Jennie and Vicky when they weren’t doing interviews and TV appearances. Orli had really been there for Vicky when the whole Mark thing came about. He had called her the next day to see if she had gotten home okay and what had happened to make her so upset. When she told him he had felt an overwhelming urge to hit something. He didn’t know where these strong feelings of emotion where coming from but he knew he wasn’t going to get anywhere fast as Vicky was vowing never to date again. Orli didn’t really like the sound of his as he wanted to become more than friends just like Elijah had with Melissa.

Vicky and Orli had practically been inseparable since they day they had met; they were always flirting in a friendly way constantly, but without knowing it. From Vicky’s point of view they were just the best of friends, well after Jen of course. To Orli, the more time he seemed to spend with her the more he felt for her. He really wanted to be more than friends with this girl and was desperate for her to feel the same. Dom had noticed the way he looked at her when she didn’t notice and had talked to him about it. Orli had told him everything; how he hated being friends with her as he wanted more but also how he couldn’t and wouldn’t let their friendship go.
Dom had told Jen how Orli was feeling and Jen had asked Vicky how she felt about Orli. Although, at this question, Vicky just became tense and apprehensive telling Jen to drop the subject. Obviously, Jen wouldn’t and kept on badgering Vicky about it until she finally cracked and threatened Jennie with her own life. Vicky didn’t know why she was avoiding Jen’s questions but she also didn’t know why Jen was even asking them.

It was okay for her. She hadn’t just lost a boyfriend. She had gained one! Dom and Jen constantly flirted with each other and in the end decided on not bothering fighting the attraction they felt for one another. They had announced on the fifth day of knowing each other that they were officially a couple after having been on a couple of dates.

In these two weeks, the six of them had been shopping and had gone to all the top clubs and restaurants. Melissa had bonded quickly with Jen and Vicky and they had all become good friends; they talked about everything girls do talk about and made sure that Mel could come to them whenever she wanted help.

Orli hadn’t seen Vicky in a while, well, in two days, since he had a lot of promotional stuff to do with the film preview coming up, and to be able to spend more time with her, he decided to invite her to the cinema to see ‘The Lord of the Rings’ seen as she hadn’t seen it yet. Dom had decided to tag along and escort Jennie who Vicky had, of course, invited. Then, Lij found out and invited Melissa, so in conclusion, Orli’s little ‘date’ had been ruined...but he pretended to be happy with them all joining in.
Dom and Orli told Vicky and Jennie that they come round to their apartment to pick them up and then they would get a taxi over to the cinema. Elijah and Melissa explained that they would meet the others there. Whilst in the taxi, Jen thought of something.

“Wait! Are you sure this is safe for you guys? I mean what if you’re seen at the cinema and you’re attacked by mobs of screaming girls?� Jennie asked Dom. She was still just getting used to the idea of going out with a big and famous movie star.

“Don’t worry love...that’s what these are for...� he said in a reassuring tone whilst holding up a baseball cap and sunglasses. “Besides, I’d love to see anyone get passed you! Anyway, I’d worry about Orli and Lij. They’re the ones who get recognised the most,� Dom answered her, chuckling at her worried questions.

It was true. Everywhere they went; it was mostly Orli and Lij who were spotted. Jennie felt a little sorry for Dom for not being recognised as much; however, it did have its advantages. Jennie was not constantly being glared at by jealous thirteen year old girls, unlike Vicky and Melissa.

The four of them stepped out of the taxi and saw Elijah and Melissa standing near the doors of the cinema entrance. Although it was the way they were standing that shocked them. Melissa was completely enveloped in Elijah’s arms and had her eyes closed with Elijah kissing the top of her head. Jennie was the first to notice this and leaned into Dom to whisper in his ear.

“So are they together now...or what?� Dom simply shrugged and walked up to them, wolf whistling and began to mock Elijah.

“So are you and your girlfriend gonna go in the cinema or just stay here cuddling?!� Melissa quickly broke away from Elijah’s embrace and wiped away the tears that had fallen. That’s when everyone realised she was upset about something and Dom quickly shut up and went red in the face. Vicky and Jennie walked up to Mel and put their arms around her.

“Mel what’s wrong?!� Mel shook her head quickly as if to tell them nothing but before they could question her further she began to speak.

“Nothing. Its...I just...I got chucked out of my apartment last night and Elijah has just offered to let me stay at his place.�

“Then why are you crying?� Vicky asked. Melissa shrugged before answering.

“Happiness I guess.�

When Mel had turned up at Elijah’s apartment last night he was happy that she would be staying with him yet a little saddened. This was going to make it twice as complicated to hide his feelings for her.

He threw the thoughts out of his head as he walked into the cinema with his friends ready to concentrate on the movie.

Orli led Vicky to the very back row where the ‘snuggle seats’, as he liked to call them, where placed. There was no arm rest in between them so they could easily...snuggle! Dom led Jennie a couple of rows ahead of them, pouting and complaining that Orli got the best places; Jennie reassured him however, when she said she would find a way to give him cuddles! (he he!) Lij went to the very front of the cinema with Mel, taking all the popcorn with him. No-one tried to get the sweets back however, as they knew Lij would just throw the fact that he bought them back in their faces.

Orli leaned back in his seat and put an arm round Vicky’s shoulder gently pulling her towards him. She willingly moved up and rested her head on his shoulder. You would never have thought they were just friends.

****

After the film had finished they all walked out in silence, Vicky not realising the others were waiting for her reaction; she walked along silently until they got outside. Finally Orli couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“So what did you think?� Orli asked trying to keep the excitement out of his voice and to keep it calm. He couldn’t wait to hear what she had thought of it.

“I thought it was absolutely amazing.� Vicky said really quickly. She turned to Dom who was also waiting for her reaction. “How did you get to be so funny? You and that Pippin were hilarious!� Dom laughed at how excited she was as she turned towards Lij to compliment him. “You do a mean impression of an English accent!� she said before impersonating lines from the movie. “ ‘What will I see?’ Brilliant!� She looked over to where Orli stood and saw that he looked kind of hurt. She smiled inwardly that her plan had worked; she had decided to compliment Dom and Lij first to tease Orli, knowing that he would want some compliments as well, but the look on his face told her the joke was over. “And you...� she said, teasingly walking towards him and swaying her hips slightly as she did so, “...where absolutely brilliant!� She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her for a tight hug. He hugged her back just as tightly before he felt her pull away to look at him. She was smiling her famous million dollar smile and was looking straight into his eyes; god how he wanted to kiss her there and then. He was going to ask her if she had enjoyed herself today but before he could even open his mouth to speak she was pulled away from him by Dom’s strong arms. Damn she has a great smile, he thought. He watched as Dom hoisted her onto his shoulders while she feebly tried to break free.

“You know the world doesn’t revolve around just you two you know! You do have other friends!� Dom said, explaining his reason for yanking her away from Orli. Vicky was still struggling to get down, but when she nearly fell, she just concentrated on trying to stay balanced.

“Orli... help me! Please? AAHH! Before I fall!� She shrieked as she lost her balance once more. “Orli... some time today would be nice! Come and rescue me from this brute!� Vicky playfully slapped Dom on the head and squealed when he let go of her ankles for a second before grabbing them again.

“I’ll have you know that this ‘brute’ could easily drop you and that you should not insult him because it might make him mad!� Although, he did not have time to fulfil his threat as Orli had reached them now and had hoisted Vicky of Dom’s shoulders and held her in a princess like way.

“My hero!� Vicky gasped in a foolish way; she leaned up to him and gave him a friendly peck on the lips. Long enough for Orli to savour her taste but to short for him to have been able to make it into something deeper. When she pulled away she was laughing with everyone else while Orli stared at her intently.

Here you go...

Chapter 6

Orli couldn’t stop thinking about Vicky. He had seen how depressed she had been about the whole Mark thing and knew how heartbreak could be. When he had seen her run out of the party in tears he immediately knew what had happened judging that she had just come from one of the bedrooms. He hadn’t been able to do anything as she ran out too fast. So his idea was to take her to the cinema and get her to open up about what she was feeling...but then everyone else tagged along and he was unable to.
Then she had kissed him outside the cinema...it was only a really quick, friendly peck but it was enough for him to realise he wanted to see her happy. And also hopefully see their relationship into more than just being friends. Although, when Vicky stated that she was off all men for good, he knew it wouldn’t be happening any time soon. He tried to convince her that not all men were bad and the person she was looking for was probably right under her nose (hint hint!).
He had talked to Jen about her behaviour towards men and Jen had explained to him why she was acting this way. Apparently ever since she had her first boyfriend at sixteen, every guy she had gone out with had cheated on her. So when Mark hadn’t and she Vicky had been with him for two years she thought she had struck lucky. Now that he too had committed the same crime, it made her feel as though she was a crap girlfriend seen as all of them had gone and found someone else on the side.

Vicky’s mobile phone had been ringing all day. She hadn’t answered it because the caller I.D. showed it was Mark and she swore to herself she wasn’t going to talk to him...EVER. She would have turned it off but someone else might try to call so she simply switched it to ‘silent’. She was alone in her apartment as Jen and Mel had gone shopping together. She hadn’t really felt up to it and stayed in her bedroom with her two friends ‘Ben and Jerry’!
On that note she noticed that she had run out of ice cream and got up to get more. When she walked back into her room she saw a number flashing on her screen that she didn’t recognise. Figuring it was Jen from a phone box she picked up. “Hello?�

“Vicky...its Mark.� Just as she was about to hang up Mark’s desperate voice came over the end of the line. “Wait! I know you’re going to hang up but...please! Listen to me...please...� She thought she may as well be civil and hear him out even though it wouldn’t change anything.

“You have one minute.� Trying to keep calm Vicky sat on her bed, her back leaning against the headboard, brushing a few wisps of hair out of her eyes.

“There is no excuse for what I did...I know...but...I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am and how I was hoping for another chance...?�

“Please tell me you are kidding?� she said with shock in her voice.

“Okay...so that was a long shot but...come on Vicky...you know were good together...we were together for two years for god sake! I didn’t even think about cheating on you...I imagined I never would! I was just so smashed that night...I can hardly remember anything...� Pause. “This isn’t going to change your mind... is it?� he asked in rhetorical way, his tone full of sadness knowing what her answer would be.

“No...it’s not.� Vicky tried to blink back the tears and keep the emotion out of her voice.

“Okay...I guess I’ll go then...I love you...�

She heard the dial tone and then also hung up giving into the tears that had been threatening to run down her cheeks.

Then a sudden voice startled her from the doorway; it was Jennie. Jen ran over to where her friend was sat on the bed sobbing and pulled her in for a hug. Vicky let the tears run all the way down her cheeks and onto Jennie’s black blouse. She noticed Melissa standing in the door way awkwardly, not knowing whether to hug her new friend as well or just let the two best friends hug it out. As if reading her mind Jen turned to her and motioned for her to come over. After a few moments Vicky finally stopped crying and sat up straight and reached over top her bedside table to grab the box of tissues to wipe her eyes with.

“Are you okay? I’ve been waiting for you to cry like that since it happened...that was Mark wasn’t it?� Vicky nodded as she continued to wipe away her tears.

“We could hear you on the phone and Jen guessed who it was by your tone but we didn’t want to interrupt...� Mel spoke up. Vicky leaned in and gave Mel a hug; even though she was a new friend they were all ready close.

“Come on...� Jen said, “...you are not going to keep it all bottled in. Mel and I will get all the alcohol we own and we our all going to get insanely drunk! How does that sound?!� Mel and Vicky laughed at Jen’s weird attitude before jumping up and searching the apartment for alcohol.

After two hours of explaining about Mark and what exactly happened including all the gory details, they were all a bit tipsy! They now had the music in the CD player blasting as high as it could go and were now dancing on Vicky’s bed with hair brushes as microphones. Not realizing someone was also in the room a pair of strong arms grabbed each of them around their waists.

“AHHHHH!� they all screamed at once. Jen flailed her arms and legs around as she landed with a thud on Dom’s lap on the floor. Both laughing Dom flipped her over so that he was on top of Jennie and lightly kissed her on the forehead, then nose, then lips. “You know, you two should really lock your front door. We could have been robbers or axe murderers or anything.� Dom chuckled lightly at the playful slap across the face he received from Jennie and pecked her once more on the lips.

Lij had landed with Mel right in his lap and she had begun to tickle him for scaring her. He was begging for mercy as he could not do anything about it as she had pinned his hands above his head and was now tickling his waist. They were in quite a suggestive position and he would have enjoyed it more if it weren’t for her dancing fingers.

“He’s right you know...you could have all been slaughtered!� Orli had Vicky standing in front of him but so that she was facing away from him and his arms were around her waist trying to keep her up. She was giggling like mad and was wobbling everywhere.

“Right,� announced Dom, looking at Jennie whilst trying to pull her to her feet, “I’m taking this...glamorous...lady here to dinner. You four fancy it?� Lij and Mel agreed straight away and Lij squirmed away from Mel managing to stop her from tickling him as she wobbled to her feet. Dom laughed at them before turning to Orli. “How bout you two?�

“Nah...I think this one’s had a bit too much,� Orli said, still attempting to hold up Vicky. He looked towards the door where Dom stood with an intoxicated Jennie literally hanging of his arm.

“Ya know...you are one beeeauuutiful pice a work!� she slurred drunkenly while he tried to hold her up more steadily.

“Are you sure?� Dom asked, as Orli nodded in reply he continued. “Alright then! We’ll just leave you to it then,� he explained before realising what he had said had sounded very suggestive. “Uh...I mean...uh...� He ducked out the door though, before the pillow that had been thrown at him by Orli could connect with his head. When Lij and Mel and had left the room, Orli turned back to Vicky.

“Are you okay? What have you been drinking?� Orli chuckled as he tried to hold up a very, very tipsy Vicky. He walked her towards her bed and sat her down as he heard the front being closed.

“I have nint bine drunken!� Vicky slurred. She suddenly found something incredibly funny and began giggling hysterically. She fell back on the bed and her head connected with the pillow. “Oopsie! Ha ha! Jn nicht ein meerkat!� Orli chuckled at her incoherent speech not actually understanding what she was saying and helped her to sit up again. She fell back down on the bed a few moments later. Giving up Orli laid down next to her and propped himself up on an elbow watching as her eyes became droopy and eventually closed. He stared at her as she slept. Her lovely lips were slightly parted, her long lashes that framed her pretty eyes stood out from her smooth skin, he was in awe. As if pulled by unknown forces... he slowly drew nearer and nearer... he closed his eyes, and with only an inch away from her lips, he stopped. He couldn’t do it. For one, it would be taking advantage, and for two, he wanted her to be conscious the first time they kissed. If they ever did.

He lay down next to her and put his arm around her waist and pulled her close. She snuggled into him as far as she could and they both fell into a dreamless sleep.


There you go! it was sort of a joining chappie so....

:wub: Aww that chapter was sooooo cute!! Post more please! (Sorry about not posting before)

here ya go guys! :bloom:

Chapter 7

Vicky had managed to forget Mark mostly, not totally but...mostly. It was hard to after a 2 year relationship but she was getting there. Her friends had been doing everything to help her also; Orli had taken her to clubs you needed tickets to, restaurants where people parked your cars and she had recently met Billy Boyd. He was the funniest person she had ever met and she couldn’t help but fall in love with his accent. All seven of them kept going out together and acted as if they had known each other for years.
After a while, Vicky started to notice that Orli had many good qualities that she thought were so sweet and where exactly what she wanted in a boyfriend. Although she quickly pushed them out of her mind; she was having a good time and wanted to keep it that way, without having to worry about another relationship. She hadn’t had much luck with any so far and didn’t want to be hurt again so soon.
Jen had also noticed that she had seemed to have forgotten all about her problems with Mark. Vicky hadn’t really talked about it, she never did with her feelings and kept it bottled up inside so not to fell like she was moaning all the time. The fact was that she never complained and seemed perfectly happy all the time. However, since the Mark thing there had been a different look in her eyes and Jen didn’t like it.

****

Dom, Orli, Elijah and Billy had just treated the three girls to lunch at some Italian restaurant and were now escorting the girls back safely. As they were walking back to the girls apartment Orli had his arm round her shoulders in a very protective position, which, to anyone who didn’t know they were just friends looked like something else. Orli didn’t have a problem with this as he liked people thinking that this attractive woman had chosen to be with him and loved him. Unfortunately none of this was true and this also saddened him.

They were walking down the corridor towards the girl’s apartment when Vicky stopped dead at what she saw was sitting outside her door. Orli wondered what was wrong and followed her gaze. Vicky looked down the hall to find a very distraught looking Mark; she had no idea how to react and neither did Jen. Her best friend just looked at her, with a very worried look on her face.

It had been almost 2 weeks and Mark hadn’t called or tried to see her once and now he had turned up at her door. All the problems she had forgotten came flooding back when she saw him sitting there. The sight of him made her feel a little sorry for him, but then she recalled what she had seen the night of the party.

Now feeling the anger in her swell up inside her again, she slid out of Orli’s grasp, (which disappointed him a little) and walked down the hall to Mark. She had a very nervous feeling lying in the bottom of her stomach. Orli felt a pang of jealousy hit his body, but tried to shrug it off. He knew she wasn’t going out with Mark anymore and wouldn’t get back with him but he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. He had never met Mark before but had learnt some things about him from Jen. He only really knew that he and Vicky had gone out for two years and then he ruined his chances with her when he got pissed and slept with someone else. Idiot, Orli thought. How did such a pathetic mess get to go out with Vicky? What did she ever see in him?

Orli watched as Vicky reached Mark. He tore his eyes away from her to see what everyone else was doing. Every one of them looked as if they were cemented to the ground. He looked at the expression that was on Jen’s face. He read it as ‘Oh shit!’ This couldn’t be good. He looked back at Vicky and continued to stare as she now spoke to Mark.

“Mark?� Vicky said in a quiet and shy voice. She looked down at Mark who had now looked up to face her. His eyes had now started to fill up with tears again.

“Vicky. I am so sorry...,� Mark said, now with tears rolling down his cheeks. She didn’t want to talk to him, especially not now with her friends standing a couple of yards away, but she had no choice to get him to leave. She could tell he had been drinking, she could smell the alcohol on his breath.

“What do you want?� she said, quietly again, looking over to where Orli and the others stood. Orli had a look of puzzlement on his face. Why couldn’t Mark just go away? She had told him over the phone to leave her alone. So why wouldn’t he? Why did he have to turn up now? Today of all days. Mark had now stood up, enabling Vicky to open the door. She walked in and threw her bag and keys on the coffee table in the living room. Mark followed.

“Mark…you can’t just turn up like this…its over.�

“I had to see you…I just want to tell you that...I’ll never do anything like it again. I miss you...and I just want us to try again...� he broke off. He looked at Vicky, the tears still trickling down his face as he looked at her.

“We can’t…you know how I feel about people who cheat and you know what has happened in my past You ruined our relationship the minute you went into the bedroom with…her.� Vicky said her voice low and almost silent.
She looked at him; she knew that he was upset over their break up but she didn’t expect him to be this bad. She looked at him. He had dirty ripped jeans on and a crumpled white t-shirt on. His hair was a mess, sticking out in all places and he had a good couple of day’s worth of facial hair on his face. He looked miserable; the sight of him made her feel sorry for him and felt all those feelings of love for him sink in to her soul.

“I know...I’m sorry...I didn’t know what I was doing when Cheryl led me into the bedroom. I was so drunk I thought it was you. I’m sorry.�
All the feelings she had ever felt for him suddenly flew out of the window. He thought it was me, Vicky thought, he thought some cheap little tart was me. She was about to start having a go at him when she remembered that her friends were only down the hall not wanting to enter the apartment.

Realising that they were still in the hall, she walked to the front door and ushered them in. Vicky noticed that Orli looked very, very unhappy and the rest looked quite uncomfortable. They all walked in not knowing where to sit or go until Vicky grabbed Mark’s hand and gently guided him towards her bedroom. Orli glared at him as he walked past, although Mark did not notice as he followed her. They saw the two of them disappear into Vicky’s room and then the door being closed.

“Um...I’m guessing that that’s her ex boyfriend.� Dom spoke up, breaking the silence. Jen only nodded before collapsing on the couch Dom following suit. Mel and Lij did the same on the opposite couch and Orli sat on the arm of it.

Jen noticed that he looked unhappy, worried and angry all at the same time and she knew why. “Orli, don’t worry she wont get back together with him...� Orlando scoffed at this before allowing her to continue. “Hey...Orlando, listen to me.� He turned to face her. “She hates cheaters...she wont get back with him. Trust me.�

Orli remembered telling him how much she hated cheaters and how if anyone got back together after such an incident they were fools. However, she had seen the look in her eyes when she led Mark towards the bedroom. It was as if she was apologising to him. For what reason he didn’t know.

“Yeah Orli...I’m sure they’re just talking about stuff.�

****

The feel of Mark’s hands running over her body sent shivers down her spine, the taste of his lips, his tongue, was too much for Vicky to resist as he kissed her. When they walked in the room, Vicky had hardly even closed the door when his lips were on hers. Even through all the pain he had caused her, his kisses seemed to make all that disappear. He guided her towards the bed by his hands being placed on her hips and then collapsed on it. Landing on the soft mattress seemed to bring Vicky back to her senses and she started to push Mark of her and tried to sit up.

“No...Mark...stop...we can’t...�

“Yes we can...I need you.� He kissed her again and laid her back down on the pillows. She kissed him back for a few moments before she heard a slight groan from the back of his throat which snapped Vicky out of this trance a second time. She started to push him off her again.

“Mark...no...we can’t. I don’t want to.�

“Yes you do.� He brought his lips firmly down on hers once more yet this time she didn’t kiss him back. She struggled to get away from his kisses so she could speak.

“No Mark...I don’t want to...stop! Get off me now!� He ignored her and cupped her chin with one of his hands forcing her to keep her head still and kissed her once more. She started to panic; she couldn’t cry out for help as Marks tongue was halfway down her throat and she couldn’t hit him as he had her arms pinned above her head. There was only one thing left to do; only she didn’t know if it would be fair as she had led him on. Although, when she felt hand leave her chin and travel down to her neck and then slowly going lower she didn’t care about fair. She brought her knee up and hit him in the stomach and he rolled off her in pain.

She quickly stood up and stepped away from him. Seen as she didn’t want to involve anyone that was sitting in her living room she didn’t leave the room. She watched as Mark stood up clutching his stomach; she had obviously knocked the wind out of him as he was gasping for breath. “Vicky...�

“Leave! Now!�

“Vicky I just wanted to talk to you.�

“Oh yeah! And you called what you just tried talking! Well you know what...I don’t want to talk to you when you’re like this! Your off your face go home and sleep it off and don’t come back.� Mark had now stepped over to her now, and had placed his hands on her arms.

“Don’t touch me!� she said, as she squirmed to break free of his grasp but that just made him cling on tighter.

“No! Not until you say we can make another go of it!� he shouted, as she still struggled in his tight hold.

“Well we can’t! Now get the hell of me and leave! Mark! Let go of me!� now shouting slightly louder, she squirmed even more to free herself from his incredibly tight hold he had on her. He ignored her pleas and kept a tight hold on her.

“Why not?! I love you! That’s all that should matter!� Mark pulled Vicky closer and snaked his arms around her waist. His breath reeked of the booze he had been drinking. He tried to kiss her again and had managed to a couple of times but because of her squirming, he mostly just got her all over the face. She hadn’t wanted to bring in anyone to help her, especially not Orli, but under the circumstances she knew she had to.

“No! Stop it! Guys! Help!� she screamed as loud as she could, hoping that her friends would hear. Her hopes where answered when she felt Mark loosen his grip as she saw Orli grab him from behind and push him a little way across the room.

“I don’t think she wants you to do that!� Orli said through clenched teeth, his fists by his sides. Dom and Elijah ran to Orli’s side, while Billy, Mel and Jennie comforted Vicky. She was sitting on her bed crying, her hands supporting her head. Jennie had one arm around her and was softly making soothing noises whilst Billy and Mel kept asking if she was okay.

Vicky wasn’t the only one to get a shock. Mark was also completely stunned by being thrown across the room. He only wanted to get his girlfriend back. He had nearly done so if she hadn’t called for her stupid friends. He looked Orli up and down; glaring at him he began to speak.

“Oh this must be the rebound prat. Look who it is to...it’s the almighty elf! Legless! And three of his little hobbit friends...� he shouted at Orli before turning back to Vicky as he stood up. “What the hell does a blonde wig wearing ponse have, that I don’t?� That was boiling point for Orli and he broke free of Dom and Lij’s hold, and stepped towards Mark punching him square on in the jaw setting Mark down on the floor.

“I think you had better go now, before me and my ‘little hobbit friends’ do some damage of our own,� Dom told Mark in a threatening voice. Mark staggered onto his feet and headed towards the door before turning back to Vicky. “I’m sorry that I hurt you and I don’t just mean now.� Then he disappeared out of the door and the seven of them heard the front door slam.

After he had gone from view, Dom and Elijah motioned to Jennie and Melissa to leave Vicky and Orli alone. Jennie got up and headed for the door trailing behind the three boys, a little reluctant to go, as she was worried about her best friend.

When the others had closed the door, Orli turned and walked to Vicky who was now silently crying and was shivering from head to toe. His knuckles were throbbing from hitting Mark but he ignored it and sat down on the bed next to her. “Jesus, you’re shaking like mad. Here. Shh, it’s okay now,� he said while covering her with a blanket that was conveniently lying on her blanket box at the end of her bed and then also wrapping his arm around her. She winced as he touched the places where Mark had had his tight hold on her arms. “You actually went out with that prick?� She rested her head on his shoulder and sobbed deeply into his shirt. He rocked her back and forth while whispering soft words and shushes in her ear, trying to control the anger he felt for Mark.

Chapter 8

The next day Vicky was still trying to get over the shock of Mark’s actions. Orli had tried to help as much as he could; he was scared of anything happening to her again. She hadn’t told anyone what had happened before they came in; she knew they would just see her as a slut and then Orli would definitely not want to even be near her.

She had skipped a classes that day as she wasn’t really in the mood and new she wouldn’t be able to concentrate properly anyway. So she resorted to lounging around in sweat pants and a tank top and watching her favourite films all day. It was around three in the afternoon when a knock came at her door. Vicky jumped slightly and walked over to it cautiously. She looked through the tiny glass peephole and felt her shoulders drop in relaxation when she saw it was Billy. She opened the door tried to seem at ease as much as possible.

“Hey you! How ya’ bin?� Billy asked in his amazing accent, flashing a one hundred watt smile at her.

“Fine. Just didn’t feel like classes today so I’m pulling a sicky!� Vicky now felt relaxed. It was nice to see a friendly face.

“Oooo. The rebellious kind are we. I shouldn’t stay too long...you’re a bad influence. I brought you some flowers and choccies!� he said as he held out the bunch of flowers (daisies) and Belgium chocolates.

“That’s so sweet...how did you know that my favourite flowers are daisies? Have you been stalking me Mr. Boyd?� she asked in a mocking tone giggling at the sight of his pretend guilty face, while walking into the kitchen and trying to find a vase.

“Well... I didn’t want you to find out, but I guess it’s out now! No, Orli told me and said that he knew you would like them so...he apologised about not being able to see you today. He had a photo shoot or something. So I guess you’re stuck with me!� he said holding out his arms. As she walked into his hug, she felt so lucky to have friends who actually cared about her enough to take time out of their busy lives as Hollywood stars to come and bring her flowers.

“I think I’ll survive.�

~*~

For the rest of the day she and Billy watched all the saddest films ever made whilst sitting on the couch surrounded by junk food. She sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder as he put one arm around her waist. They cuddled up together under her duvet that she had taken from her bed; she had found it hilarious when Billy started to well up and almost cry when Dumbo was reunited with his mother. What a softie, she thought to herself.

She was just about to get up and put on the next video when Orli walked through the door, also bringing a bunch of daisies.

“Hey love! Whatcha been doin?� he asked while greeting and smiling at Billy. He didn’t exactly find the position that his friend had been sitting in with her comfortable but shrugged it off, reassuring himself that Billy was just a good friend.

“HEY! What are you doing here I thought you were busy?� Vicky jumped out of the duvet and Billy’s snug position and jumped on Orli wrapping her arms around him tightly.

“Why? Did you miss me? It ended early so I thought I’d come and see my favourite girl.� He handed her the flowers and pulled her close into another big hug. It was obvious to that they were both a little reluctant to let go.

Midway through there cuddle, Billy cleared his throat as if to remind them that he was still here. “Erm... excuse me, don’t mean to interrupt anything but I do believe we were about to watch Tom Hanks walk down the mile that was green...and anyway! She was my snuggle partner first so give her back!� He chuckled and held out his arms to Vicky. She was tempted to go back as Billy had the warm duvet and started to walk towards where Billy sat on the bed but Orli pulled her back.

“NO! She’s mine now and besides we were having a nice cuddle before a certain Scotsman rudely interrupted us. Mentioning no names.� He pulled Vicky into the same position as before and held her tighter. Billy had now exited the duvet’s warmth and grabbed Vicky by one of her arms and gently pulled her towards the bed. Orli had the other and they were now pulling her back and forth.

“You boys I’m not a freakin’ yo-yo!� She shouted trying to free her arms. In the end they settled it with a compromise. She sat in between the two boys.

Elijah was watching TV when he heard Melissa come home. He was sort of confused seen as her shift had started at 7am and it was now only 9am; her shift didn’t usually end till 11. Still, he smiled to himself as he loved to see her anytime but when he heard the front door slam, he knew something was wrong. He immediately jumped up from the couch and walked into Mel's bedroom where he could see her throwing her coat at the bed, her bag quickly following it. He knocked on the door lightly as he walked in and saw that Mel was talking to herself angrily, shaking her head from side to side. Elijah knew she was upset but he couldn’t help but let out a laugh at the sight of Melissa talking to herself. She heard him laugh behind her and spun around and looked at him. His smile soon faded when he saw that she had wet stains down her cheeks and more were threatening to come out.

Elijah walked over to her and pulled her into a hug in an effort to comfort her as she hung on tightly to his embrace. “Sweetie...what’s wrong?� Mel sniffed and pulled away from him, looking into his eyes. Did he just call me sweetie, Mel thought.

“Nothing...� Elijah looked at her as if to say ‘yeah right’ so she continued, “...okay...well...I got...fired at work.�

“What?! Why?!� Melissa pulled out of the embrace and walked to her bed sitting down, wrapping her arms around herself and facing away from him. Elijah followed and sat closely behind her. “Why?� he repeated in a softer voice.

“Because my so called friend Amy decided to start stealing from the till but when my boss asked her about it she blamed it on me. My boss didn’t even ask for my version of the story, she just sacked me on the spot.� Pause. “Bitch.� Elijah couldn’t help but smile at the last comment; it was so like Melissa to say something like that.

“Aw...honey...you’ll find another job it’s not the end of the world,� he explained whilst rubbing his hands up and down her shoulders in a comforting way. Honey, Mel thought, what’s with the pet names? She turned around so that she could face him and found that he was looking at her intently. She didn’t know what else to do apart from stare right back at him; what she didn’t realise was that their faces were drifting closer and closer.

Elijah’s face was so close to Mel’s that he could feel her breath on his face; he knew that if he wanted to kiss her, this would be the time. As he closed the distance between them he saw that Mel had closed her eyes and took this as permission to carry on. He brushed his lips against hers softly; he felt her stiffen but just took it as the thought of crossing the barrier between friends and friendlier. However, she didn’t push him away so he leaned in again and pressed his lips against hers. Once again, she didn’t pull away or slap him so he continued kissing her, cupping her face with his hands.

Melissa at once felt a resistance stiffen her backbone, but it melted away with every moment. Her arms unconsciously wrapped around his neck and he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. When she felt him run his tongue over her bottom lip she trembled, causing a tear to fall down her cheek. Elijah felt it against his thumb and pulled away looking at her with confusion. She stared right back at him, gazing into his blue eyes. “I’m sorry,� she whispered before getting up of the bed and running to the front door before running through it and slamming it behind her, leaving Elijah sitting the very confused.

Dom watched Jennie as she rushed around the kitchen looking for the right ingredients to make pancakes with. He looked at how her curves showed at certain times through his big sweat pants and her tiny t-shirt as she twisted and turned. She had just poured the batter into the pan and turned to look at Dom sitting across from her.

“So...how’s Vicky doing?� he asked still staring at the way she moved. “I mean since the thing the other day?�

“She’s okay. Well... at least I think she is,� from the look she received from Dom she continued, “Vicky has never been the sort of person to talk about her feelings. I mean, yeah the other day before the ‘incident’ happened, me, Mel and her had a good chat to see if she was okay about breaking up with Mark. That was the day you both came in and scared us shitless!� She looked over to where Dom now sat reading the newspaper and started to daydream. She was quickly snapped out of it though when she smelt smoke coming from behind her. “SHIT! Oh no!� She turned around with the pan in her hand showing a wide smile on her face showing Dom the now black, crusty *cough* pancakes. “Well...breakfast’s ready.�

“You know, suddenly I’m not so hungry. I’m going to and get dressed while you decide what we’re doing today.� He smiled as he stood up from the kitchen table and started for the stairs towards his bedroom.

“I’m going to take a shower first then I’ll decide what we’ll do.� She shouted after him and turned to put the pan down in the sink. “Oooo!� she was startled as a pair of hands grabbed her around the waist. She turned around and giggled as she met Dom’s eyes. “I thought you were going to get dressed?�

“Yeah well I liked the sound of the shower thing you we’re going to do instead!� He chuckled as she scrunched her nose and laughed. Then she started heading towards the bathroom holding his hand as she went.

~*~

“Well that was refreshing! Next time you want a shower give me a call!� Dom said as they exited the bathroom. Jennie had a skimpy white towel wrapped around her as she dried her hair with another one; while Dom had a towel wrapped around his waist (yum!). He pulled Jennie close to him and kissed in a long a passionate kiss. “Listen. I want to ask you something. You know how we’re obviously going out...as a couple I mean...Well, Orli and Vicky are going together and so are Elijah and Mel...so I was wondering...do you want to go the premier with me?� He looked into her eyes and stared into them for a long time before her answer came.

“Erm... well I don’t know...I think I may be washing my hair.� She laughed at his shocked face then continued, “Of course I will Mr. Monaghan...on one condition. You answer any questions that reporters ask; I’ll be too busy concentrating on walking with all the flashes in my face from all the cameras as well as wearing kitten heels. I honestly don’t know how you do it.�

“Well it’s hard at first but you eventually get the hang of balancing both heels at the same time.� He laughed at Jennie’s mock insulted face and continued, “No, this will be great! I actually have something to look forward to now. Apart from seeing my handsome face on the big screen of course!� Jennie attempted to playfully slap him on the arm but he caught her hand and pulled her into another hug. Then leaned in and kissed her.
