Since You Been Gone

Since You Been Gone: Chapter 9

*Decided to skip ahead a little bit! Enjoy!*

Aubrey looked at the floor, lost in her thoughts, as the words couldn't form a sentence.

"Why?" Dawn repeated with haste.

Aubrey looked at Dawn with tears in her eyes, Dawn felt no remorse.

"I came to you house looking for you. I needed to talk to you. My best friend died and it was killing me and I needed to get it off my chest." Aubrey started.

Dawn looked at her and gave her that look and she continued.

"And one thing lead to another, a bottle a wine was involved and I regret everything that happened. Dawn, I know you might never want to see me again and I understand. But I truly am sorry; I never meant to hurt you." Aubrey finished.

Dawn shook her head, at the moment she hated Aubrey for what she's done. She ate the fact that she trusted someone and that person hurt her more then anything. Dawn didn't say anything to Aubrey, she turned around and left. Aubrey watched as she walked out the door, without saying a word.

*A Month Later*

It's been a month since Que and Aubrey was caught having sex. A month since Que was hit. Que is home and Dawn is trying her best to take care of him and taking care of the baby she's carrying. She tries her best to work, take Que to rehab and maintain her house.

Dawn was in the room, getting everything ready before she went to get Que from the rehab centre. Her cell phone rang and she looks at the caller id, it was her D.Woods. (Another member of Danity Kane)

"Hello?" Dawn said, picking up the clothes on the floor.

"Hey girl, how are you feeling?" D.Woods said into the phone.

"I'm good, trying to get some laundry done, before I have to go and pick up Que." Dawn answered.

"Oh okay... So you know how Aubrey is expecting?" D.Woods asked her.

The mere mention of her name made her skin crawl. It's been a month, but Dawn has not forgotten. It's still fresh in her mind, like it happened yesterday.

"Yeah, but whose is it?" Dawn enquired

"She's saying its Que's, but it might be Donnie's" D.Woods replied.

"It has to be Donnie's because Aubrey and Que only slept together once. The dates wouldn't match up, she found out the same day they slept together." Dawn said, putting her clothes into the washing machine.

"Yeah that's true, we don't want any more problems with you and Que," D.Woods said.

"Neither do I" Dawn replied.

Dawn closed the washing machine and walked to her kitchen. She made herself a cup of tea and sat at the table. She and D.Woods spoke a little longer, before D.Woods had to get back to her photo shoot. Dawn drank her tea and looked at the clock. It was time to go pick up Que from the rehab centre.

*Two Months Later*

Que was starting to get better. He could walk on his own, drive on his own, and he even started dancing again. He was only going to therapy once a week to help out with some minor issues that still lingered. Dawn's baby bump was prominent, and now that Que was better, their lives started to go back to normal, until she got a phone call from D.Woods.

"Hey girl" Dawn said after picking up the phone who's caller ID said it was Wanita.

"Hey... so I just got a call from the hospital and Aubrey was just admitted" D said with concern. "I know y'all haven't talked in awhile because of what went down, but I thought I'd let you know."
