And so it continues.....

Part One
Part Two
Part Three





Later that morning, Bobbi heard Haley walk into her bedroom. She took a deep breath and followed her in.
Haley glared at her sister, "Can I help you?" She was still so angry with her, and didn't feel like having another fight.
"Haley, I...I wanna talk to you." Bobbi always had a problem apologizing.
Haley said nothing but continued to glare at her.
Bobbi sighed, "Well, I just....I wanted to say...I just wanted to say...."
Haley became impatient, "What?"
"Alright! I'm sorry!" Bobbi said, then looked up at Haley's face, "I'm sorry. You were right. He's a jerk!"



"What happened?" Haley asked curiously. She just wanted to wrap her arms around Bobbi. She knew everything was going to be alright now.
"He left this morning. Before I woke up, "Bobbi looked down, "He didn't even say goodbye. I tried calling him about a half hour ago......three times.....and nothing. He's avoiding me. Why would he do that??"



"It'll be alright, Bobbi. Dont worry, "Haley wrapped her arms around her so tight, "Unfortunately there are guys out there like that. Guys who only care about themselves. Ones who really don't give a flying crap who they hurt, just as long as they satisfy their own needs. I'm sorry you had to be one of their victims. Trust me, if I could change this, I would. But I can't. Just be happy that he hurt you now, instead of later on down the road, where it could have really screwed up your life."



Bobbi let go of her sister, "I guess you're right. Men are jerks! You'd think I'd learn by now!"
Haley laughed, then said, "Let's play Red Hands!"
As they played, Haley felt an amzing amount of relief inside of her. Joey was gone. Bobbi was back. Everything was back to normal.



During breakfast, Haley felt even closer to Bobbi. She thought, "Maybe we should fight more often" then completely scratched that ridiculous thought from her mind.
"Have you talked to Romeo?" Haley asked as she munched on her omelette.
"Not yet, " Bobbi said, "I'm so ashamed. I don't think I could face him right now. He did call me this morning, but I just let it ring. I...I just can't talk to him right now. Not until I get everything figured out in my head."
"Romeo's a great guy, Bobbi, and he loves you. He just needs to stand up on his feet and get a job. He just needs to show you he can be the man you've always wanted." Haley looked at the time. "You need to get ready for work! You're gonna be late! I'll take care of the dishes."



As Bobbi left for work a few minutes later, Haley knew everything was going to be back to normal.



But that night, Bobbi was feeling more depressed. About Joey.
"I dont understand, " Bobbi confided in her sister, "Why would he do this? How could he do this? Haley, I really believed I was falling in love with him. Everything about him, that I saw, was so wonderful. His words were so sincere. He made me feel like I deserved the world. He made me believe it. I really wish Mom were here."
"I know you feel hurt right now. And you're allowed to! Joey is a creep. You fell for him. You fell hard, and all he did was leave you with a broken heart. Try not to think about, ok? Everything will be alright. I promise you! And I really wish Mom was here too" Haley hated to see her sister this way, but it irritated her beyond anything imaginable that she was so broken up over that pig!



But that night, Bobbi didn't feel any better. A million things were racing around in her head. She felt she was losing her mind. She needed to speak with Billy.



The next day she invited Billy over, but because her emotions were all mixed up, she took all of her anger and frustration out on him.
"So is that what you call being a friend, Billy? Introducing me to someone who was going to break my heart? Someone who would make me fall in love with him only to kick me to the ground afterwards??? That's not what I call a friend, "Bobbi had no idea what she was saying. She just continued throwing words out at him. Words she didn't even feel she knew the meaning of. She just felt she needed to blame someone. And who better, than your best friend?



"Bobbi! Slow down! What is your problem here?? I thought you invited me over here to hang out. Not to rip my head off and continuously chew on it!!!!!" Billy was so confused.
"I'm talking about Joey, "Bobbi confessed, "Your friend! Some friend!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened with Joey?" Billy asked not having a clue what she was talking about.
"What do you mean what happened? Didn't he talk to you about me?"
Billy paused, "Bobbi, no. Please tell me what's up."
"He hurt me! He used me! He's a jerk! He's a creep! He's anything you want to call him! He's just...he's just....not in love with me when he said he was!!! And he...he...he used me for....for....and now...he's avoiding me!" Bobbi held back her tears and tried to calm herself down.



"Bobbi, I swear, I had no idea," Billy said, "I haven't talked to Joey since the night I brought him over to your party. I swear to you. I wouldn't lie to you."
"I know you wouldn't."
"And Bobbi, I hate to tell you this..." Billy paused, "But Joey has a fiance. They've been together for a year now."
"What?????! You've got to be kidding me! Why is this happening to me??? Why???" Bobbi burst out in tears.



Billy grabbed Bobbi with all of his might and even got a little choked up himself. He hurt when she hurt, and more than anything, at that moment, he wished that Joey would hurt just as much if not more.



Billy stayed with her that day and comforted her. By the end of the day, she was feeling much better. He always did know how to cheer her up.
"How did I get so lucky to have a friend like you?" Bobbi said as they played a game of pool
"I think I'm the lucky one."
Bobbi chuckled, "Yeah, right. Not after I came down on you like that earlier. I'm so sorry."
"Hey, don't worry about it. You're upset. And I don't blame you. You have every right to be." Billy put his pool stick away, "I gotta go. Babysitting my little sister tonight."
"Fun fun," Bobbi said smiling.
"Nah, it's not that bad. I love kids!" Billy said.
"Yeah I know you do."

They said their goodbyes and as Bobbi walked into the house, she felt incredibly sick to her stomach, "Oh my God."



She ran upstairs as fast as she could.....



And sure enough, it all came out. She hadn't been sick in such a long time, she had forgotten how terrible it was.



After she had finished, she stood in the bathroom managing to catch her breath, when a thought came to her.
'Oh my. No. Please, God, no. I can't be.....No.' Bobbi calmed herself down and convinced herself it was just one of those 24 hour bugs going around.



But when she laid down that night, it was all she thought of. Now there were a million and one things racing in her head. 'Everything will be ok, 'she thought, 'Just like Haley and Billy said. This wouldn't happen to me. It just wouldn't.' She said this over and over again until she fell asleep.



But the very next morning, her whole entire relationship with Joey flashed before her eyes as she watched her stomach grow rapidly right in front of her.
She screamed as loud as she could, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She was devestated. She knew everything that everyone said was a bunch of crap. It wouldn't be alright. She was carrying Joey's baby. How could she have let this happen? How could she have been so irresponsible?????? How could she have been so stupid??????? She ran downstairs, not really knowing where she was going, and not really caring either for that matter. She continued to scream over and over again, crying hysterically.



Haley woke up from her sleep in a startle and ran quickly down the stairs, almost tripping. She didn't know what had happened. Bobbi was screaming. Why was she screaming? Is she hurt?



But what she saw was the last thing she ever thought would happen.
"Haley!!!!!" Bobbi cried out, "Haley!!!!!!" She couldn't think of anything else to say.
Words weren't coming to either of them too easily that morning, as Haley didn't have a clue what to say to her sister, either.
Haley finally managed to say, "Oh my God, Bobbi. Oh my God."



"Haley, why???!! Why??? How could I have done this to myself??" Bobbi was hysterical. She didn't know how to feel or what to say at that moment. She didn't know anything.
"Bobbi, I...."but was interrupted by Bobbi's scream.
Haley continued, "Calm down, Bobbi, please. Just calm down. It'll be alright. Everything will be alright."
"You said that! And this happened!" Bobbi continued to cry, "Look at me! I am pregnant! With HIS baby!!!!!"
Haley began to cry as well, but stopped. She knew she had to be strong for Bobbi, so she picked her sister's chin up and said, "Listen to me, we'll get through this, ok? No matter what. I'll be there for you. You have me. You will always have me."

After a little while of crying, Bobbi finally calmed down. Haley continued to comfort her as best she could.
Bobbi then said, "What do I do now?"
Haley looked into her sister's eyes and said, "You need to tell Romeo."



After some more crying, and hugging, Bobbi knew it was time to tell him. She looked down at the engamement ring Romeo had bought for her two years ago, as the line was ringing. This was going to be one of the hardest things she ever had to do.
