Michelle had just gotten  back from her job, it had done nothing to clear her mind.  It had just made everything hurt more.

Michelle saw her cell phone on the table near her bed, and decided to call Kylie.  After the fifth ring she had picked up.

  "Hello." Yawned Kylie.

  "Kylie?" Michelle asked.

  "Michelle, it's right in the morning on a Saturday!!" Screamed Kylie.

  "Shut up!! I need to ask you something." Michelle told her.

  "What?" Asked Kylie.

  "God Kylie, I don't know what to do. I saw Mike." Michelle began.

  "Tall, hot, built and blonde Mike?" Kylie interrupted.

  "Yes, he mentioned Brad.  All the pain and hurt came back." Michelle moaned.

  "Go see him. Your in Atlanta, right? Isn't that where he is?" Kylie inquired.

  "Yeah....." Michelle replied.

  "Why did you take him there, again?" Kylie asked why.

  "We used to live in West Palm Beach and my dad lived with us. Daddy took Brad and I to see some track event when they held the Olympic, in Atlanta.  Brad said he wanted to win the gold medal for track in the Olympics some day.  He told me that was the place to be buried.  So...." Michelle responded, as her voice trailed off.

  "Yeah. Just got see him." Kylie answered.

  "I wish it was that easy." Replied Michelle.

  "But it is, just go." Said Kylie.

  "I wish you were here." Said Michelle.

  "I wish you were here, are you coming to Philly?" Asked Kylie.

  "I'm not sure, but when I find out, I'll tell you." Replied Michelle.

  "Trina said that now I'm awake, that I have to go do my laundry." Said Kylie.  Trina was their live in maid.

  "You are the only rich kid I know that has to do their own laundry and other chores." Michelle laughed.

  "Tell me about it. I'll call you later.  If you don't go see him, you'll hate yourself." Said Kylie.  And Michelle knew she was right.

  "Yeah sure." Michelle said as she heard a click, then a dial tone.  She knew that Trina had taken the phone from Kylie and hung it up, as she usually does.  Michelle turned off her cell phone.

While Michelle was on the phone the guys came to her hotel room because the other girls were there too.

  "I guess I should go." Michelle said as she one out loud.

  "Go where?" Asked a voice from behind her.

  "A walk." Michelle answered quickly, then turned around to see Kevin, Brian and Howie standing there.

  "Where are you going?" Asked Kevin.  She picked up a piece of paper and wrote down the address of where she was going.

  "I don't know. Just around." Michelle answered, crumbling the piece of paper and settings it on the night table.

  "Where are you guys going?" Asked Michelle as she looked over at them.

  "The weight room." Responded  Brian, as he walked with the others and Michelle to the elevator, then they got in.

As the door began to slide close, Michelle noticed Aj not with them but felt relieved.   Just as she was about to say something to the other guys, a hand stopped the door from closing and in walked Aj, then he quickly shoved something in his pocket.

When they reached the second floor, the guys walked off the elevator to go to the gym, except for Aj.

  "You going to join us at the gym this morning?" Asked Kevin.

  "Nah, I'm going down to the lounge to hang out." He told the guys.  They thought that was weird, then the door finally closed on its own.

  "So, where are you really going, Aj?" Asked Michelle.  He didn't say anything.

  "Where are you going, you have no idea where you are, you could get lost." Said Aj.

  "Don't you ever mind your own business?" Michelle said as she snapped at him.

  "What?  Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed again?" Asked Aj. 

Actually, Michelle didn't sleep at all the following night.

  "No, just leave me alone!" Said Michelle, then noticed the elevator had reached the lobby and she quickly got off and walked threw the lobby to leave out the door.  Aj had followed her.

  "The lounge is in the hotel." Said Michelle as she pointed to the building.

  "I changed my mind." Said Aj, as he hauled a cab.  Michelle just walked away.

  "Where to sit?" Asked the cab driver.

  "Atlanta Memorial." Replied Aj.
