(around 6:15 pm the smae nite as Celine walks in the door)
"Mom's home." Nick shouted
"Shut up I am not." Celine muttered
"Someone is upset." Brian said hugging her "Tell Brian your problems."
"Thanks Brian for Trying to make me feel happy but it's not working." Celine said
"Sorry Kevin is in the bathroom."Brian said "I doubt you want to head in."
"Nope I don't." Celine said givng a half smile
"So why did you have to go to the doctors?" Brian asked
"Noisy why do ya need to know?" Celine said pushing him
"Because I'm your cousin." Brian said putting his hands on his hips
"I need to know tell me Celine cause I need to know." Nick said starting to Dance with Celine
"Stop it you guys," Celine said laughing "You crack me up."
"Please tell me then." Howie said smiling
"I'll tell Howie," Celine said whispering into his ear "I've got an ear infection."
"Ouch Kevin isn't gonna like that." Howie said laughing
"are you pregnant?" Nick said as his eyes started to buldge
"OH MY GOSH NO!" Celine said jumping back
"Celine's Pregnant?" KEvin said walking out of the bathroom
"No I have an ear infection," Celine said laughing "Genius 1 and Genius 2 are guessing."
"Well it wouldn't be a bad thing ya know," Kevin started "But you need to go get AJ now."
"Oh I do?" Celine asked
"Yeah he's so depressed." Kevin said "Please just be nice to him."
"Kevin he's one of our friends of course I will." Celine said "I'll be back in a little."
"Promise you will." Kevin said
"Of course I promise." Celine said smiling
Celine drove over to Aj's House. He lived about twenty minutes from them. She slowly walked up to the house and noticed he hadn't moved his car since her graduation. She quietly knocked on the door.
"Hey." AJ muttered opening the door slowly
"Hey AJ," Celine said hugging him "How are you?"
"I'm terrible." AJ moaned
"I'm assuming you and Tes are broken up?" Celine ask
"You asumme well." AJ said grabbing his sunglasses
"AJ You're gonna become pissed here but you know what you did to her was wrong." Celine said
"I know it was totally wrong," Aj said "the only time I have ever loved someone so much and I mess it up."
"Do you seriously love her?" Celine asked
"So much I just sit and stare at our pictures together." AJ said getting into her car
"I see." Celine said turning on the radio and "That's the way it is came on the radio"
I can read your mind
and I know your story
I see what you're going through (Yeah)
It's an uphill climb
And I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender
'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most
there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me
For a simple answer
I don't know hwat to say (No)
But it's plain to see
If you stick together
You're gonna find the way
So don't surrender
'Cause you can win
In this thing called love
(Chorus)
When life is empty
With no tomorrow
and lonliness starts to call
Baby don't worry
Forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all
Song By M. Martin, K. Lundin, & A. Carlsson "That's the Way It Is"
written for Celine Dion
"AJ are you okay?" Celine asked as he started to cry
"No." AJ muttered
"Come on AJ," Celine said "You have to realize what you've done to her and your consequences for it."
"It's so hard." AJ said crying more
Celine slammed on the brakes "If you're gonna be a cry baby about it AJ get out of my car."
"Celine You don't know what it's like to lose someone you love." AJ stated
"YOu have no idea AJ," Celine said "I lost the guy in my life when I first met kevin online and he was my life and I was hurt so bad, we were together 3 years."
"That is nothing." AJ said
"Oh it was something," Celine said "It was special and Kevin made me realize Life could go on and if I wanted the relationship bad enough I could go back out to that home plate and hit that bat hard enough and i'd have it but I realized that Life goes on."
"So Kevin is basically your hero?" AJ asked
"Kevin was my savior AJ," Celine said "he saved me from losing my mind and becoming one of those compulsive girls."
"I want what you and Kevin have." AJ said
"AJ you can't just want it," Celine said "You have to go out and get it."
"You're saying I should fly to Virigina and go kidnapp your sister and come back here?"
"No I didn't say Kidnapp her but if you want her bad enough you need to go get her." Celine said
"She wouldn't listen." AJ said
"How do you know," Celine asked "Ever since I met all five of you guys I have been a different person: I'm happy for once."
"You're saying you weren't happy before then?" AJ questioned
"Exactly," Celine said "It's the ones who you hurt you the most that teach you the most."
"So you're giving me mixed signals here," AJ said "I guess I should let love run it's course."
"Exactly," Celine said "Let it come to you."
"Let it come to me." AJ said slumping down into his seat
