Hey everyone so soo sorry for the lack of updates, still having writers block n have no idea how to finish it so ideas and opinions are extremely welcome and remember to review and let me know which couples ud prefere to end up together

The next day they arrived in Vagas. The group included Ashley Candice Shane Shannon Maria Mickie and Punk. They stepped off the plane and got their luggage before laving for the Hard Rock Hotel

"Where's Jeff and that other girl" Mickie asked as they waited in lobby while Ashley sorted out the rooms at the front desk

"He want to talk to Matt first and Talia didn't want him to be on a plane by himself" Shane answered

"Uh-huh" Mickie shrugged as Ashley walked over with their room keys

"Ok so each room has two bedrooms. Shane and Shannon you shear with Jeff and Talia when they get here. Candice you'll be with Mickie and me. And Maria I gave you and Punk a single room to yourselves" Ashley said giving out the keys.

Then they went to there respective rooms. They all looked the same. A large open front room that had a lounge room and a kitchen plus a balcony that looks over the outside with views of the hotel pools and restaurants. The rooms even had 1 bowling lane up the back near the bathroom and the bedrooms on the opposite ends.

"Wow the room is so huge" Mickie said with amazement while Candice jumped up and down on one of the beds. Then Shannon ran in and excitedly hugged Ashley

"I can bowl in my hotel room" He yelled then ran out again. The girls looked around strangely and giggled a bit before exploring the room

Meanwhile back in Chicago Stacy sat on the front step on the porch reading a book. Hearing someone stepping on gravel she looked up and saw Jeff walking up the road

"Hey Jeff" She called out. He looked over giving her a wave then made his way over to her

"How's it goin"

"Good"

"I heard you moved back here. Why" Jeff asked confused sitting down next to her

"Just something I needed to do" Stacy replied a short answer "Who told you"

"Randy"

"How is he? Did he get in much trouble?"

"Basically a slap on the wrist. I'm surprised you haven't seen him yet"

"I will. I've been busy looking for a job"

"How's that working for ya?"

"Bluh" Stacy grunted

"Well Shannon works part time at a bar and a tattoo parlor. I'm pretty sure he'll have something for you"

"Yea sure" Stacy smiled

"I'll talk to him when I see him later"

"Ok but I thought you were going to Vagas"

"Yeah I'm leaving tonight. I have to talk to Matt first"

"About what those girls said?" Stacy asked Jeff nodded

"I just came for a walk first. I always go for walks when I know theres tension. I should go now anyway and get it over with. And I have to do it by 6" He said standing up along with Stacy

"Ok well good luck then" Stacy smiled hugging him

"I'm sure Randy might like to see you too" Jeff called out as the ran off

In Vagas the groups had a late lunch in the hotel restaurant

"So Ash when's the actual party" Mickie asked

"Day after tomorrow"

"What are we doing tonight?" Shannon asked

"Dude" Shane answered "Look where we are. You can do what ever you want"

"PARTY" Shannon yelled getting odd looks from other stayers

"Damn man quiet down a bit" Shane laughed. Ashley saw something through a window and stood up

"Um I have to go. You guys have fun." She said strangely before running off

"Well that was odd" Punk stated

Meanwhile outside Ashley ran up to a guy a little shorter then her

"Oh you saw me," The guy said sarcastically

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you? Shouldn't you be in Chicago where you abandoned your family? Cause see what I'm doing here is working to for that same broken home you left" The guy spat with anger. Ashley stood there not saying anything "cat got your tongue"

"Asshole" Ashley said angry and walked off

"I'm not the one who left my child," He yelled out to her

Ashley walked back inside to the table where everyone still sat. Not saying a word she grabbed her bag and walked off. Her friends looked at her wondering what was going on. Mickie stood and caught up with her

"Ash are you ok" Mickie asked concerned

"Uh yea I think I ate something bad. I'm gonna lay down for a while"

"Are you sure? You don't have food poisoning or anything?"

"It's nothing I'm just tired" Ashley assured her then walked to her room as Mickie went back to the table

"What's wrong" Maria asked

"She's not feeling well so she went for a sleep"

"Well what do we do for the rest of the day?" Punk asked

"Why don't we hang by the pools for the night" Maria suggested as they nodded in agreement

"Me and Shannon have to wait for Jeff and Talia then we'll meet yous there" Shane said as everyone got up

"What time does their plane come in?" Mickie asked

"About 11" Shane answered

"Right. Well we'll see yous then" Mickie said then everyone split up and went to do their own things

In Chicago Jeff returned from his walk and stepped into his house. Looking around there was no one insight. He went towards the hallway and as passing Matt's room the door opened and Matt stepped out almost bumping into his brother

"Sorry" Matt mumbled walking past Jeff

"Wait Matt. I need to talk to you"

"About what. The fact that you betrayed me. That you were hiding something from me," Matt said trying to walk passed but Jeff grabbed his arm and turned him around

"Ok I get why you're pissed but can you let me explain"

"Oh so now that I know about it you wanna talk. I bet it wouldn't make a difference if I didn't find out"

"It's not like that bro"

"Whats it like then"

"I know the last time you saw her it wasn't good for you. With Ashley and everything. But just know it has nothing to do with her. Candice and me were just hanging here when Amy showed up. She wouldn't tell us why only that she didn't want you to know she's here. We wanted to tell you but we didn't want to say anything until we knew how serious it was. She told Candice that Adam whet skits after she started dating someone and threatened to kill her. Adam knows she wouldn't come back here after everything so she tricked him. I was going to tell you that night but those girls got there first," Jeff explained clearly. Matt looked at him then sat on the couch

"That true"

"Every word" Jeff said confidently

"If I went to Candice, she'll tell me that same thing"

"Yeah"

"Ok. I forgive you. Now get Talia and go to Vagas"

"Your not coming"

"I need to think about some things"

"Its your girlfriend birthday" Jeff stated matter-of-factly

"I'll do something for her. Now go"

"Make sure you do" Jeff grabbed his bag and put them in his car before going to pick up Talia and then boarded the plan

"So Matt was ok with it?" Talia asked as they sat in their seats

"Yeah. At first he wouldn't listen but after I explained he didn't ask questions. Just basically told me to go already" Jeff chuckled

"Well atleast everything's back to normal" She said shifting down in her seat and put her head back to sleep

"Almost" Jeff sighed disappointedly. Talia looked at him with sympathy and knew was he meant

"You'll get her" She assured then closed her eyes to take a nap

At the apartment Randy was the only one home. So he had to make is own meals. He stood infront of the stove stirring when theres a knock on the door. He put the spoon down and walked over to answer it. On the other side was Stacy

"Hey Stac" He greeted with a smiled and opened the door more to let her in "I'm cooking dinner. You hungry"

"You cook?" She asked strangely as he went back to the stove

"Funny. I can feed you or you can starve" He joked

"Yeah I'll have a little something"

"So what brings you here"

"Just thought we could hang out. We haven't done that in a while. Where's John"

"At work. They had some celebrity signing at the store then afterwards the employees got tickets for a concert" Randy explained dishing up their dinner and going over to sit on the couch

"Lucky him"

Back in Vagas Shannon and Shane were at an All You Can Eat buffet restaurant in the hotel.

"Ever wondered what goes through someone's head when the kill someone innocent from another country" Shannon asked. Not knowing what to say Shane just looked at him blankly "Think about. Why do we have wars anyway? They don't solve anything. Can't we all just keep to our own countries and let it be"

"It doesn't work like that man," Shane said shoving food in his mouth "Since when did you become so political"

"What else are we gonna talk about" Shannon asked then there was a silence "You and Talia done it yet" He asked with a grin

"So politics huh" Shane answered quickly to get off the subject

Not so far away Candice was walking through the restaurant. Hearing the embarrassing familiar laughing she saw the two boys pigging out at their table. But before she could get away they already saw her

"Hey Candi" Shannon called out as they finished there meals. Candice looked around but not seeing anyone else she went over to them.

"Hey guys. Havin fun"

"You bet. What are you doin?" Shannon asked as they walked out the restaurant

"Had to use the rest room"

"I just had the best idea for this trip." Shane thought aloud

"What?" Shannon asked

"Shannon can you meet Talia and Jeff while I go do something"

"I'm not sitting out by myself"

"I'll go with you" Candice suggested

"No I need you" Shane stated, "Look I don't think they'll be that long. Their plane should be landing now"

"Fine" Shannon reluctantly agreed

"Great. See you in awhile" Shane said grabbing a confused Candice's arm making her run after him. And Shane was right Shannon wasn't by himself for long as soon as he got to the airport not far from the hotel Jeff and Talia were waiting for him.

"Hey guys. How's your flight"

"Quiet" Jeff answered

"Did you see Matt?"

"Yeah everything's fine"

"Where's Shane" Talia asked looking around behind Shannon

"He said he had some great idea then ran off with Candice" He answered and saw the looks on the two faces "I'm sure it's defiantly not what your thinking" He stated as the walked out the airport to the hotel

"Still I don't trust her"

"You told me on the plane I'll get her. Did you want me to be with someone who you don't think you can trust" Jeff asked offended

"Is there an answer to that where I won't get in trouble?"

"No"

"Then no comment" Talia joked. They soon reached the hotel and went to the front desk so the other two can get their keys, then went to their room.

"Wow check out the view" Talia said racing to the balcony. And with it being night she saw the lower parts lit up with night-lights "It's gorgeous"

"This is bigger then my house" Jeff stated

"That's not saying much" Shannon laughed only to be taken down by Jeff "I was joking. Talia help" He called out. She walked from the balcony and saw the boys on the ground with Shannon in a headlock. Talia grin and ran up and gave him an elbow drop

"Ow" He said calmly

Back in Chicago Stacy and Randy sat out on the balcony and looked over the city

"How's Torrie"

"She's still asleep but the doctor said her responses improving. So she should wake up soon"

"Thank god. I want to talk to her"

"You may want to leave it for when she's 100%. We don't want her relapsing. Or you for the matter" Randy stated as they sat on the chairs

"I'm over that. I realize I was stupid and nothing is ever worth trying to mess yourself up or taking your own life. And doing drugs really didn't get me anywhere. Look what happened. I lost everyone's trust, I lost the people who are most important to me and I broke up with my boyfriend"

"You can put that one on the good part. I didn't trust him from the moment I saw him"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"That was when we where fighting"

"Which time" Stacy chuckled. They sat in a comfortable silence listening to the city environment and little bugs "I miss this. Just hanging out with you"

"Yeah we haven't done this in awhile"

"What happened while you were in jail?"

"Nothing much. It wasn't a big investigation or anything. I just sat in a cell"

"Who'd call?"

"For some reason Jeff. I guess cause he knew where I was and why. I didn't know where John was and my dad would've made me stay for another day or so just 'to teach me a lesson'" He lightly laughed.

"Your dad's not that bad"

"Are you kidding? Did I tell you about last summer when he tried to get me to join the army? Luckily John asked me to move in with him" Randy chuckled. Stacy gave a small smile

"I should get going. She said standing up. Randy jumped to his feet and chased after her inside

"Stay awhile longer. You can even spend the night "

"I can't I have to clean out my wardrobe for charity"

"Come on Stac. We haven't hung out like this in ages"

"I promised John's mom"

"So lie. Tell her you fell asleep"

"I don't want to lie to them. I'm done lying to everyone"

"Please Stac. I really miss what we had and we don't do this very often" He pleaded. Stacy looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes

"Fine" She gave up. Randy took her hand and led her to the couch before turning on the tv
