Chapter 2

Aaliyah's POV

"Really baby, someone's at the door!" I said breathlessly, he shook his head and carried on thrusting into me as hard as he could making me wince slightly each time. Fuck it hurry up and finish! I was still sore from last night and this really wasn't helping. He was rough last night, the same as he always was when he was drunk or high and last night he was both which meant really rough $ex. He thrust again and climaxed with a loud moan as he dug his fingers into my hips. I faked an orga$m as usual and he smiled as he pulled out and went over to the dresser to light up a cigarette. Wow ok way to make a girl feel loved Johnny! I sat up ignoring the burning ache from between my legs.

The banging started again louder this time, "See! I told you" I said pulling the sheet up around me.

"Who the fuck is that gonna be at this time of the morning?" he ranted as he walked to the window throwing it open and leaning out still butt naked, luckily the windowsill covered him up nicely. I glanced over that the clock it was almost eleven in the morning. Great another day of missed college! "What the fuck do you want? Do you know what fucking time it is?" Johnny asked annoyed. I sighed, for most people this was late in the morning but not for Johnny, he was hardly ever up before mid-day.

I didn't hear the reply from the person at the door but Johnny slapped his forehead hard. "Right yeah, fuck it sorry I forgot you were coming, I'll be right down" he said, he turned to me and slammed the window shut grabbing a pair of jeans.

"Who's that?" I asked getting out of the bed heading over to the window to look.

"Fuck it Ali, just go back to sleep!" he shouted as he pushed me back onto the bed roughly. He turned and stormed out of the room pulling up his jeans as he went slamming the door. Wow he is obviously having his low now. No way I'm staying here all day if he's gonna be on a downer, he'll be an ass.

I got out of the bed and went over to the mirror, I groaned when I noticed how tired I looked, I had bags under my eyes. The party last night went on until three. I found my knickers and bra from last night and put them on quickly. I looked round for my clothes, shit where did I leave them? Fuck it, they're down stairs in the living room! Johnny made me strip down there for him, I groaned at how embarrassing that was, but hey he was so off of his face last night he wouldn't remember anyway. I dabbed on some concealer under my eyes to cover the shadows and then pulled on my huge shades, I grabbed his t-shirt and heading out of the room as I shrugging it on.

I stopped at the top of the stairs, I could hear Johnny talking to someone, "Right sorry, yeah your not a skivvie" Johnny said sounding apologetic. Wow he never apologises! The only person he ever says sorry to is me when he's beat the crap out of me when he's high.

"Great then we understand each other" the other guy said. Damn he head a sexy voice! The husky tone to his voice sent a chill down my spine. "Right well I'll need to do a check of your house and order any further protection or security measures I need" the sexy voice said, God I wanted to see where that voice came from. They sounded like they were heading down to the kitchen so I made my way slowly downstairs. I glanced over and saw two pair of legs, fuck it, Johnny is gonna go crazy if he sees me like this in front of a guy!

I dropped my eyes to the floor and tried to be as quiet as I could hoping to sneak past. But I wasn't quiet enough. "Get the fuck upstairs and put on some clothes Ali, shit!" Johnny said as he strode over to me. Crap he sounded angry. He grabbed hold of my upper arm digging his nails in making me clamp my jaw tight so I didn't cry out. "So fucking stupid Ali, there's a guy here, get upstairs and put your clothes on" he growled warningly, he has always been possessive and jealous but lately he had started using cocaine and he was now really paranoid too, he didn't trust me an inch even though I would never do that to him.

He squeezed my arm tighter, probably giving me a bruise, "My clothes are down here baby" I whispered, at least he didn't remember the strip tease he made me do for him last night. He sneered at me and shoved me towards the living room door, I caught myself before I fell luckily, wow that would have hurt.

"Get dressed now" he said angrily, I nodded and went into the room finding my jeans and black vest top from last night.

I threw them on and put my ear to the door listening. They sounded further away, maybe the kitchen, I heard the fridge door open and a bottle chink. Shit if he's drinking already, I'm definitely going out. "Want one?" Johnny asked.

"No thanks" the guy answered sounding a little pissed off. I smiled, well at least it's not just me that doesn't like people drinking during the day.

I stepped out and walked to the kitchen barefoot, turning my nose up and the thought of all the crap that was probably over his floors from the party last night. It was pretty wild as usual, the band and the roadies, friends of his and of course plenty of girls. Johnny's life was pretty crazy at times, definitely involving lots of drink and drugs lately.

I glanced over at the new guy, he had his back to me looking at the back door for some reason. Wow he had a nice ass, just perfect and peachy looking in his low slung ripped jeans that showed just a little of his grey boxers. His white t-shirt was stretched across his muscular back, which I bet would look incredibly hot without the top. He had light brown hair that looked kind of messy in the back but it looked like it was supposed to be like that.

Johnny grabbed me around the waist, his face soft and tender again now I was dressed. "Now that's better" he said rubbing his hands down my back and gripping my ass.

"Yeah sorry" I said knowing that was the response he wanted. He pulled his arms tighter around me and started kissing down my neck, I closed my eyes enjoying the sensation, I loved it when he was sweet like this, I loved him like this, he used to be like this all the time.

He got to my shoulder where my bra strap was and bit down hard, Johnny liked it rough. I couldn't help the little squeak that came out and I quickly bit my lip to keep from making another sound. I felt his teeth on my skin again and just as he was about to bite down the guy cleared his throat. Oh God thank you!

Johnny pulled away from me slightly, I turned my head in the direction of the new guy and my heart stopped beating. It was Ethan Scott. The guy who had me crying myself to sleep for well over four years. God he was so handsome, he was always gorgeous but this was just ridiculous! I wanted to run to him and throw my arms around him and kiss his perfect mouth and tell him how much I missed him and still love him and beg him to give me another chance.

My heart sped up and I clamped my jaw tight so I wouldn't say any of those things. He didn't want me, he was an arrogant asshole that used me and then left without another word. For two years he left me hanging, waiting for him, then with four words he broke my heart. 'Stop writing to me' he had written in my 15th birthday card. What a fucking asshole! I bet he didn't even know how much I loved him and how much he hurt me. I bet he didn't even recognise me now!

"Just help yourself" Johnny said as he waved a hand dismissively to the kitchen door, what the hell does that mean? Why the hell is he here? He was looking at me, almost pleadingly, he also looked kind of angry.

"Lia" he said, my heart skipped a beat, he was the only one that ever called me Lia and I loved it still, even after six years.

I squeezed my jaw tighter, oh God Ali, be cool, if Johnny finds out you know this guy he's gonna go crazy! I shook my head, "No I think your mistaking me for someone else" I said calmly.

Johnny's eyes snapped to me making me go cold, he looked really pissed. "You know this guy?" he asked his voice tight.

I shook my head and smiled sweetly hoping to convince him, "No baby" I said as I leant up and kissed him on the lips lightly.

He pulled away looking at me angrily, trying to work out if I was lying or not, I kept my face blank and he turned to look at the guy. I swallowed the lump in my throat, oh shit I'm gonna cry! I clenched my hand into fists pressing my nails into my palms making a sharp pain start in the palm of my hands to give me something else to think about other than the fact that the only boy I ever really loved was standing in my boyfriends kitchen about to get me beaten to shit!

"Who's Lia?" Johnny asked curiously. Ethan's gorgeous light blue eyes flicked to me and I wanted to take off the damn shades so I could see the beautiful colour of them.

"Sorry, my bad, you do look like someone I used to know though" he said shrugging. Why the hell did he lie? I breathed a sigh of relief, ok cool down Ali.

"Really? Great" I said sarcastically trying to sound like I wasn't interested in him. "Want breakfast baby?" I asked eager to change the subject, I went to the fridge to see what was in there. There was one egg, a small lump of cheese, some bacon that I knew had been open for a few days but should still be ok to eat. Johnny never had any food in the house, him and his band mates preferred a liquid or powder diet lately so they were hardly ever hungry. I on the other hand was hungry all the time, I was a training dancer and did so much practice everyday that I burnt off calories as quick as I ate them.

"Sure what's on offer?" Johnny said as he came up behind me and groping my ass. It actually made me feel a little sick to think that he was doing that in front of Ethan, I would much rather Ethan's hands run down my body. Damn it Ali stop! He's not interested, and even if he was, you would say no because he's an ass who broke your heart!

"Bacon still looks ok, you need to get some food in baby if you want me to stay here tonight, I'm not eating Chinese again" I said turning my nose up, we had Chinese takeaway about four times a week as it was his favourite.

Johnny laughed "Hmm I could think of something else for you to eat" he said grinning at me flirtily as he crashed his lips to mine possessively, showing Ethan that I was his, that's all this was, a public display of who belonged to who. Johnny gets jealous easily.

By the time he pulled away we were both breathless, I glanced over the kitchen to find it empty, my stomach dropped down into my feet at the thought of him leaving without saying goodbye when I heard him moving around in the living room. "Who's the guy baby?" I asked pretending not to be too interested, I grabbed the butter and bacon from the fridge and set to work frying some bacon and buttering bread.

"His name's Eric, he's here to check out our security to see if we need any extra locks or anything" he said shrugging. No his names Ethan Ryan Scott and he's the love of my life and the one I compare every man too, even you Johnny Brent!

"Right" I said nodding as I fried the bacon, the fat spat on my wrist burning me, "Shit! I'm gonna go get a sweater baby, can you watch the pan?" I said pointing to it, he nodded and flicked on the TV.

I ran up the stairs and headed to Johnny's bedroom for something with long sleeves, I stopped at the door shocked, Ethan was standing there looking a photo of Johnny and I when we went to Usher last year. I didn't know what to say, I could barely breathe, he was staring at me too, probably just as shocked as me. "Sorry, I just came up for a sweater, please, continue looking at Johnny's personal shit" I said acidly, I went to the wardrobe and grabbed the first one of Johnny hoodies that I saw.

"Lia?" he said quietly, fuck it why do I love the sound of that so much?

"My names Ali, I really think your mistaken" I said harshly.

"No your names Aaliyah Marie Jones" he said in his sexy voice. Wow he really did remember me, he even remembered my middle name! I ignored the little thrill that went through me.

"And how do you know that?" I asked pretending to not know who he was. He looked a little hurt, wow a little hurt, that's all he gets after what he put me through?

"We grew up together" he said frowning, I tried to hide my grin, he was obviously annoyed that I didn't recognise him.

"We did?" I asked faking shock, wow I was actually enjoying this, payback for the years he made me cry.

He nodded, a pained look on his face that almost made me stop playing the bitch, "Ethan, Ethan Scott, my parents and yours were friends" he said sounding hopeful.

"Right yeah I remember now, we dated for a while right?" I asked smiling a little as he looked at me shocked. He closed his eyes and nodded, I laughed, wow he looked like he was hurting, welcome to the club dip shit, I'm still not over you! "Right now I remember, you were my first kiss actually" I said grinning wickedly. We were each others first kisses, he made me kiss him when i was seven then we finally got together when I was ten and he was thirteen.

"You were my first kiss too" he said quietly.

I had no idea what happened to him after he left. I knew he went to live with his uncle and went to military school in another state but once he moved away he refused to answer my calls and texts or letters. He had left me without even saying goodbye, ignoring me for over two years, leaving me hanging and waiting for him before finally gracing me with a break up, I hadn't spoken a word to him since the day he left six years ago. "Yeah, you moved away or something right?" I asked actually curious as to how he'd been.

He nodded "Yeah when my parents died" he said sadly. My resolve wavered for a second looking at his sad face, I wanted to wrap my arms around him and hold him. I loved his parents, they were incredible and were murdered in a convenience store one night, in an armed robbery gone wrong. I never even got to speak to Ethan about it, the police gave him the news at our house as he was staying the night and then whisked him off to his uncles. I never even got to say goodbye. But he blew his chance, he threw my love away like it was nothing, there was no way he would get another chance.

"I remember, listen finish whatever job you've come here to do and leave" I said sternly. I turned on my heel and walked out of the room wiping the traitor tear that fell down my face. Fuck it I was crying! I never cried, I hadn't cried for a long time, since I finally accepted that he wasn't coming back for me and that I was alone. He was the only one that had the power to make me cry, a lot of awful stuff had happened to me since then, but none of it were as bad as the pain that he caused me.

I went back down to the kitchen to see Johnny leaning against the counter eating a bacon sandwich, he pointed to mine on the counter, "It was done" he said shrugging.

I smiled and took my plate going to lean next to the counter next to him "Thanks baby" I said smiling.

The bacon was burned to shit and tasted off, as soon as he wasn't looking I threw it in the trash, I'd get something later. I heard Ethan coming back down the stairs so I grabbed Johnny and pulled him into a long passionate kiss, running my hands down his chest as he gripped my ass tightly. He moaned in the back of his throat as he ran his hands over my whole body, Ethan cleared his throat again and I smiled against Johnny's lips as he groaned. "Man I hope your not gonna be interrupting me and my girl the whole time or this seriously isn't gonna work out" Johnny joked as he punched Ethan's shoulder playfully.

Ethan looked at me horrified and I tried to not smile, "So this is your girlfriend? Will she be here a lot?" Ethan asked looking away from me.

Johnny pulled me to his side, "Yeah man, this is Ali, she stays over a lot, right babe?" he said squeezing my waist slightly.

I nodded "Yeah I usually stay on Friday to Monday nights" I said easily, he looked at me curiously.

"Every week? Is there any particular reason for those days?" he asked, shit! Trust Ethan to ask that!

"Um, no reason in particular I guess" I said shrugging uncomfortably.

Johnny looked at me and smiled, "She just likes my company at the weekends right?" he asked slapping my ass.

I laughed uncomfortably, "Yep, listen baby I gotta go to college, I'll see you tonight ok?" I asked grabbing my bag from the kitchen worktop.

"Sure, you need some money for lunch or something?" Johnny asked digging in his jeans pocket pulling out a wedge of cash.

I shook my head, "No thanks baby I'm fine" I said as I stood on tip toes to kiss his lips.

"Just take some money, you'll probably get hungry later knowing you" he said holding out a twenty dollar bill.

"Honestly I'm fine baby, I'll see you tonight" I said waving it off. He ignored my protests and pushed it into my back pocket as he slapped my ass.

I grabbed my car keys off the side and Johnny groaned, "When are you gonna stop driving that piece of shit and drive the damn car I bought you?" he asked angrily taking my car keys from my hand. Fuck it not this again!

"Johnny I don't like to drive that car, I told you" I said quietly feeling like an ungrateful bitch.

"Ali, I bought it for you, I told you it doesn't matter if you smash it up, I'll just get you another one" he said proudly as he pulled me to his chest.

"Johnny, I appreciate the thought I do, but I can't drive that car, it's too expensive" I said apologetically.

"Don't be so fucking pathetic Ali, take the damn car and stop being such an Audi hater!" Johnny said laughing.

I sighed "Please Johnny, I'm happier in my car, I don't have to worry about how fast it goes if I press the accelerator to hard" I said grimacing slightly.

Johnny shook his head at me again and turned to Ethan, "Seriously man, I bought my girl a fucking Audi TT and she would rather drive her crappy old Vauxhall Corsa! What the hell's up with that?" Johnny asked incredulously.

Ethan looked at me a little shocked, "Well at least you know she's not after your money" he muttered shaking his head.

Johnny burst out laughing again, "Well I already knew that, when we got together I didn't have shit! Right babe?" he asked winking at me.

"Whatever, I'm going to college, can I have my keys baby?" I asked holding out my hand, he grabbed it and pulled me to him kissing me hard hurting my lips slightly.

"Take the Audi" he said putting the keys in my hand, fuck it I can't drive that damn car!

"Johnny" I started but he cut me off.

"No more arguments Ali, I'm fed up with my girlfriend driving around in a piece of shit car" he said sternly ending the conversation.

I groaned internally, "Ok thanks baby, I'll be back about five I guess, are you gonna get some food in? I don't want Chinese again" I said grimacing.

"We'll get something else instead of Chinese, how about pizza?" he suggested with a grin.

I sighed "I'll go get some shopping on my way back then ok? I don't want a takeaway" I grumbled.

He pulled out some more money from his pocket "Here then take this" he said holding it out.

"Johnny I've got money, it's fine" I said sternly, he smiled and tucked the money down the front of my top in my bra his fingers lingering on my breasts as he grinned wickedly making me blush. "Right, thanks, I'll see you later, nice to meet you" I said waving dismissively at Ethan as I kissed Johnny's lips and made my way to the door. I groaned and walked over to the brand spanking new midnight blue Audi TT that Johnny had bought me, I got in and started the engine grimacing slightly, "Please don't let me crash" I whispered closing my eyes.

There was a knock on my window making me jump, I looked up to see Ethan standing there with a slight smile on his face, I groaned, why the hell can't he leave me alone? Doesn't he know how hard it is for me to see his beautiful face? I pressed the window down, "What do you want Ethan?" I asked annoyed.

He smiled "Do you think you could give me a lift? My car's in the shop" he asked hopefully, I sighed and nodded. Sure why the hell not? Why not really torture myself?

He grinned and started walking around to the passenger side, I jumped out of the car, "Wait Ethan, can you drive? I really hate driving this car" I admitted. He frowned and nodded coming back round to the drivers side, I climbed back in and slid over to the passenger side.

"Why do you hate driving it?" he asked confused as he pulled out of the drive.

I shook my head "It's too fast, it scares me" I said looking away from his perfect face and out of the windscreen.

"If you hate driving it, why the hell don't you just tell him that?" he asked shocked and annoyed.

"I did but he really hates my car, he says that I have to keep up his image too" I said shrugging, he looked at me annoyed but I refused to meet his gaze.

"So what kind of work are you doing for Johnny?" I asked curiously.

He smiled slightly "I'm his new bodyguard" he said simply. Oh crap! That means he's gonna be around a lot. Great, just great!

"You are huh? And what makes you qualified for that?" I asked in my bitchiest voice.

His face hardened, "My training make's me qualified for that, when the hell did you become such a bitch?" he asked squeezing his hands on the steering wheel tighter.

What the hell? I snapped my head round and gave him my best drop dead death glare, "Fuck you Ethan, just drive the damn car" I spat venomously.

He frowned "Fine whatever" he said shrugging.

He pulled into a driveway of an apartment building. I looked up at it, it looked a pretty nice place "This where you live?" I asked curiously.

He nodded "Yeah, you wanna come in for a coffee or something? Maybe we could talk" he suggested looking hopeful. Oh God I would love to, but that asshole hurt me so badly, I need to stay away from him.

"No thanks, see you around" I said harshly.

He smiled "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning when I start my job huh?" he said grinning. I groaned, why the hell is he doing this to me?

"Right, bye" I said getting out of the car and walking round to the drivers side waiting for him to get out.

"Want me to drive you to college? I can get a cab back if you don't want to drive the car" he suggested. Wow that's sweet, typical Ethan!

"No thanks" I said waving for him to get out of the car impatiently.

He got out and walked past me stopping a couple of steps away, "It was really good seeing you again Lia, you look beautiful" he said quietly, my breath caught in my throat, jeez why the hell does he have to be so damn sweet?

"You too" I mumbled as I jumped in the car and pulled out of the driveway hardly touching the accelerator, I couldn't help the tears that fell. Ethan was the only one that could ever make me cry.

I pulled into the college car park and breathed a sigh of relief that I hadn't killed anyone or myself in the stupid damn car. It was lunch time so I went straight to the canteen and bought a huge pile of cheesy chips and a roll and headed over to my usual table to wait for my best friend in the world Rebecca Stevens. She was the only one who knew the truth about everything, we had been friends forever, I met her when I was five and we grew up together.

She came over about five minutes later, "Hey girl" she chirped as she plopped down opposite me. I gave her a smile trying to pretend everything was fine but her face fell as soon as she looked at me. Her hand shot across the table to grab mine, "What's happened?" she asked sympathetically.

"Nothing" I said shaking my head and digging into my chips again.

She squeezed my hand harder "Don't lie to me Ali! Is it Ben?" she whispered.

I grimaced and shook my head refusing to think about Ben, "No, no, it's just" I started but didn't know what to say, I sighed "It's Ethan" I said sadly, she grimaced and shook her head.

"Ali, stop torturing yourself it's been six years, you're better off without him, he was a fucking asshole" she said angrily. I smiled at how protective she was of me, she was the best friend a girl could ask for.

"No Becca, Ethan's back, he just turned up this morning out of the blue, he's Johnny's new bodyguard" I said annoyed as I stabbed my chips angrily.

he gasped "No shit?" she asked shocked as hell.

I nodded "Honestly, he just knocked on Johnny's door this morning, Johnny's hired him because of this whole stalker thing" I said shrugging.

I looked up at Becca's shocked and angry face and couldn't help but smile, she looked like she was about to blow a gasket. "What the hell is he up to? How dare he waltz back into your life like this? The asshole!" she cried earning us gazes from other students.

"I know but to be honest he looked as surprised as I was when I saw him in the kitchen this morning so I don't think he knew either" I admitted honestly. He actually looked like he was having as much trouble as I was when I saw him.

"Fucking asshole, you'd better keep him away from me" she said ripping her sandwich into small pieces angrily, I sighed and couldn't stop thinking about Ethan's handsome face.

"God Bec's, you should see him now, he's totally gorgeous" I mumbled shaking my head, life is so not fair.

"I don't care how gorgeous he is Ali, that ass left you to fend for yourself and broke your heart! He didn't even break up with you for two years but left you hanging around waiting for him while he just ignored you" she said annoyed. Luckily the bell rang signalling afternoon classes, she squeezed my hand supportively, "Don't worry Ali, everything will be ok" she said as she pulled me to my feet. "Just go to classes, I'll meet you after ok?" she said throwing an arm around me.

"Actually I'll probably be kept back after, I skipped this morning, then I need to go food shopping after before I go to Johnny's" I said frowning.

"Ok well if you need to talk to me, call me" she said helpfully, I smiled gratefully and we parted ways to go our classes.

I made my way to my dance classes and took my lecture about how I shouldn't skip lessons with my dance exam coming up. I nodded and looked appropriately abashed as usual before heading to get changed into my dance clothes. Four and a half hours later my legs were almost trembling from the effort of all the dance moves Daniel my dance instructor was making me do. As I thought, he kept me after to make up for missing the morning. I stumbled to my car and drove hesitantly to the supermarket to buy food for Johnny's house.

After doing the shopping I barely managed to fit it all in the stupid tiny trunk of the car, God I miss my car. I drove to Johnny's and noticed his friends cars in the drive, I groaned and made my way inside with the shopping making two trips seen as none of them offered to help me carry it in. I put it all in the cupboards and went to the lounge where they were watching TV. "Hey guys, I'm making pasta if anyone wants any" I said as I plopped myself onto Johnny's lap and kissed him. "Hey baby" I said putting my forehead to his.

"Hey, how was college?" he asked cheerfully, I pulled back to look at him and noticed his grin was a little lopsided and his pupils were huge, great. He's high again.

I looked around the room to see all three of his band mates looked the same. "Yeah it was good, I'm hungry you want anything to eat?" I asked again seen as no one answered me the first time.

Johnny shot me a wicked grin, "Hmm how about I eat you?" he asked flirtily, oh shit come on, I'm so tired.

"Maybe later baby, I'm gonna go make some food, I've been dancing for the last four and a half hours and my legs are killing me" I admitted.

His hand slid up my legs massaging my inner thighs as he kissed my neck, "I'll rub them for you" he muttered against my neck. I could feel the hard on he was getting and I groaned internally, great there goes my chance to eat!

Johnny stood up and pulled me to the bedroom, peeling off all of my clothes and throwing them in a pile in the middle of the floor. "Show me what dance you were learning today babe" he said grinning.

I groaned "Johnny, I'm tired baby" I whined trying not to blush. He laughed and pulled off his clothes throwing them in the pile with mine standing there naked. Johnny has a really nice body, it's just a shame he covers it with tattoo's, his chest and arms are covered in them. His tattoo's are of everything, words, pattern's, pictures and just general nonsense and smut really.

"So your not gonna show me your dance?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me as he looked over my naked body. I shook my head, oh God please Johnny not tonight! He sighed and grabbed me shoving me roughly onto the bed, he crawled over to me with a wicked smile and I felt my stomach clench up tight, shit this is gonna hurt!
