Join The Club

The skipping little lady made her way closer and closer to Bayley. She held her hand out and smiled, "I'm AJ."

She shook her hand and fake smiled back, "I'm Bayley."

Juice finally caught up to them, "Hi." He grinned awkwardly. "AJ likes meeting new people."

She smiled, agreeing with him. "Any friend of Juicy is a friend of mine." Bayley couldn't help but notice how AJ emphasized the word 'friend' each time she said it.

"What are you guys to each other?" Bayley asked.

Juice began to answer, "She's my-"

AJ hugged his arm, "I'm his girlfriend."

Bayley looked at Juice and said in a fake surprised voice, "Wow! Juice didn't tell me he had a girlfriend."

"Technically her and I just got back tog-"

AJ cut him off again, "C'mon Bayley, let's get to know each other better in the Club house." She literally dragged Bayley by the hand inside. Bayley was freaked out at how strong she was.

Juice nearly had a heart attack when he felt someone's heavy hand slam on his shoulder. "Ow!" He turned around to find Clay standing there.

Clay grinned deviously at him, "You brought your piece of sweet butt with you." He chuckled. Juice hated how Clay always disrespected AJ. That was one of the main reasons he helped her get out of Charming. Being close to people like Clay get you killed. "And you're letting her get close to your other little girlfriend. You trying to put together a 3 way or something?"

That would actually be pretty awesome. "No. I just thought it would be good for me to have AJ around for a little while. Help me keep my head on straight."

"Now that she's around again, she could be a great asset to the club."

Juice tried not to make his frown noticeable. "You'd have to ask her if she's okay with that."

Clay smirked, "Will do, Juicy."

"So, how long have you been living in Charming for?" AJ asked, making herself comfortable on one of the couches.

"A few months. I'm still kind of adjusting to this."

"Don't worry." AJ placed her hand on Bayley's knee. "It's hard but you'll fit right in with everybody else."

You say that like it's a good thing. "How long have you and Juice known each other?"

"Oh we go way back. I met him in the 7th grade when we both lived in Queens." She said. "We were really close, it was only a matter of time until I started to develop a crush on him."

"You ask him out?"

AJ laughed, "No. I was too shy. But junior year I finally gained the courage to say how I felt but before I could he told me he was moving."

"Man, that sucks."

AJ looked down, "Yeah. I was lost after that. When he left I didn't realize how much I needed him until he was gone." She paused for a moment. "He would always make sure that I didn't get in trouble or anything like that. Once when he was gone I started making bad decisions."

"Like what?" Bayley asked. AJ looked at her with watery eyes. "I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me."

"It's okay. I've just never told anybody this cuz I always felt like nobody cared."

"Well I do."

AJ smiled softly. "I was trying to find the same amount of comfort that Juice gave me in other guys." Bayley's jaw fell agape. "I know. Already sounds bad but that's not the worst part. I got pregnant by this guy I was messing around with."
