My Best Friend Clay~~An Invisible Original Fan Fic

Clay Aiken Forum

Welcome Back to Invisible Original Fan Fics (Self~Appointed Title) haha...I have always wondered what it would be like to be Clay's buddy, his pal, his closest confidant. Would I want more? Would He? Hmmmm let's find out!

MY BEST FRIEND CLAY

The phone rang about 10 o'clock that night. I was in a blissful sleep and debated heavily about answering it. I sighed heavily and picked up the reciever.
"Hey Fric!" Clay's melodious voice rang out.
"Hey Frac! What are you doing calling me at this time of night?" I grunted sleepily.
"Sorry! Just missed you that's all. How's life in ole NC?" He asked sounding homesick.
"Clay? You could have asked me that tomorrow" I told him while getting myself a cherry coke.
I had lived right next to Clay for 15 years we had been friends that long and I could tell stories about him, Yes sir! I could make millions in blackmail.
"Ronnie?" He pouted, "How could you talk like that to the man that loves you most in the world?"
"Clay, you are the only man who loves me. Just not enough to let me sleep." I grumbled.
"Ha! Just wanted to let you know that I am coming home soon." He told me. That was exciting. I hadn't seen him in almost 6 months it seemed. he'd been so busy with the tour and the album.
"Where are you now?" I asked.
There came a knock on my door. "Hang on Frac," I called him by our childish nicknames for each other. "Gotta get the stupid door. Some idiot with a flat tire perhaps!" I gritted.
I walked to the door and opened it to find my beloved Clay, my best bud for ages, god he looked....terrible!
"you look like hell!" I said with a grin.
"Yeah Yeah, you look hot too!" Clay smiled back with a glance at the flannel pajamas I was wearing.
I grabbed him tight around the neck and almost cried. "God Frac...I missed you so much!" I sobbed. He looked exhasted, tired, worn-out, blue, depressed. I didn't know what but a strange urge to kiss him to make it all better hit me full force.
"Come in idiot! Sit down! Tell all!" I folded my legs underneath me while I sat on the floor in front of Clay.
"Nothng to tell Ms. Veronica Yvonne LaBon. Lots of screaming girls, lots of singing, autographs, money, fast cars, the same ole same ole." He laughed.
"You are so mean." I pouted, he knew very well that my dream was to become a singer just like him. I tried out for American Idol the very same day as he did. I didn't get as lucky, that Simon guy told me I was cute! That's all, just cute! Ugh..I wanted to smack him. I was happy for my friend though. I loved him and he deserved it.
"Man I am tired. I know I just live next door but can I crash here tonight?" Clay said yawning.
"Course you can, Frac!" with that I made up the couch for him. Clay fell asleep almost instantly and i sat to watch him sleep for a moment or two. He really was sexy. At that second I wondered what It would be like to be something other than his pal, his buddy. What would it be like to be locked in an intimate kiss with that man?
"Oh GOD! I need sleep." I whispered to myself and headed to bed.



Not too exiting yet...It will get better be sure of that.....

he he he you lok sexy too that made me laugh YAY!!!!!! you started another one. grrr now i have yo wait for more!

lol I can't wait

I need to post right now

i headed for bed and snuggled once more under that covers. I thought about what went through my mind while watching Clay sleep. Could I have more feelings for him? Or is it just that I haven't seen him in forever? That was problaby it...I mean you know what they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder." I went ahead and let myself wonder as I fell asleep. As I started to drift, Clay knocked on my door.
"Hey Ronnie? I know your tired but...Im keyed up. I'm really wired. Can we stay up and talk or...can I just...?" He let that trail off as a barrage of thoughts went through my head as to what he could "just" do. StopStopStopStop, I chided myself.
"Come on in Frac!" I said while pulling the covers down so he could warm up.
"Thanks. Listen, I came home for another reason. Not only did I have a break in the tour schedule but....have you ever thought of us as more? I mean as a couple?" He asked.
Was he reading minds now?
"Uh...well yeah..I mean if you've been together as long as we have it kinda goes through your mind ya know?" I told Clay honestly.
"Well. I have too. Do you think we could be more?"
"I don't know. How do we find out without ruining everything?" I wondered.
"Uh...we could...kiss." He stammered. He was blushing! How good was I too make Clay Aiken Blush!
"I guess. Right now?" I asked him.
"Sure if you want to." He leaned in and I looked into his eyes. He had soft lips and soft skin. He smelled of cologne and mint. I don't know where the mint came in but that's what I smelled. Clay tilted his head a little and I did the same to the other side. We came in close and I could feel his warm breath on my face. I was lost as to what I was supposed to be feeling. Was I supposed to put my arm on him or something? Did he just belch? What is happening? Our mouths both broke out into a grin and Clay started laughing first. I followed it with a bellow of my own
"Oh My GOD! I can't do it. Hahahahaaaa, You looked so funny!" I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard. He pretended to take offense.
"I know plenty of girls at InReview.com that wouldn't care one way or the other what I looked like if I kissed them." He was grinning once more and leaned his forhead on mine.
"Im glad your here Clay." I told him.
"I'd rather be here than anywhere else on earth." Clay responded and we snuggled on the bed together till dawn. Fully clothed and talking. This was good. Even if it never got any further, this was really good!

Getting ready to add on to the story here though!

kool help keep me going to 500 posts!

I awoke that same morning with the smell of eggs and bacon invading my senses. What a wonderful way to wake up! I drug my way out of bed to follow the delicious aroma and found Clay in the kitchen wearing my "Kiss me Im Irish" Apron.
"you look wonderful." I told him as I leaned against the doorway.
"why did you buy this anyway" He said pointing to the logo, "Your not even Irish."
"hey It was on sale for 1.99 what else could I do but buy it." I defended.
"Women!" He muttered while rolling his eyes.
Clay sat the plates of food down and started to take the other side of the table, when suddenly, He came around to me and leaned in hard to land the most passionate, unruly, loving kiss on me that I have ever recieved.
"Wha...was...um." I was stunned into silence. What the heck was up with that.
"I..uh...that was for being the best girl and guy could ever have. Always know that you are first and foremost in my heart." Clay said as he dug into his eggs.
"Till Pamala Anderson comes calling, then it will be Ronnie who?" I joked.
That kiss. Wow! Clay and I have kissed before, but it was the polite kisses between friends, on the cheek, a quick peck on the lips you know? But that! WOW! I finished my breakfast without another word and when I finished putting my plates in the ancient dishwasher that I owned, I turned on Clay.
"What did you kiss me like that for?" I asked.
"I told you!" Clay looked confused.
"No, what you told me and how you kissed me are two very different things." I shook my finger at him.
"Cuz...well...cuz I wanted so bad for you to kiss me last night and you couldn't so...I did it for you! Why was it bad?" Clay took on a worried look.
"No...No it was..." Wonderful, soft, passionate, wild, magic. That's what I wanted to say but all that came out of me was "Good."
"good? That's it? Man I need practice." Clay shook his head.
"I can help." WHAT! What was I saying? Was I insane? Oh GOD! What was the matter with me?
"Okay." He said as he came across the kitchen and slid his arms around my waist. I went on autopilot and slid my arms around his neck. Clay leaned in close and before I knew it...we were locked in a passionate kiss. It was the most wonderful feeling I had experienced in a long.....well....ever!
"Better?" Clay mumbled into my mouth.
"You're getting there." I threw back at him.
I knew from this point on that our relationship had done a complete 180 degree turn....I wasn't sure if I liked it or not.

good job

yey!!!!!!!!! thanx thanx gosh if you ever write a real real hard back (or paper) id but it !!!!!! even if id allready read it!!!!! im gonna cry can you plz try to add more tonight?

i havent read it but im sure this is so great

well start reading

i have to get to 500 posts

k

Clay suddenly broke the kiss.
"I...uh...have to go see Mom today..uh...do you...wanna come along?" He stammered. His bottom lip was slightly red and swollen from the kiss we shared.
"Sure. I haven't seen Faye in a while." It was strange. As I dressed and he got things cleaned up, we acted as if nothing unusual had happened. I didn't know if he regreted what we had done or if he just didn't know how I felt. Which one of us was holding out? I had a feeling it was me.
--------------------------------
"Clayton! How dare you come home and not call me first! I ought to shut my door on you for that." Faye (Spelled Right?) tried to sound stern but tears of Joy were falling down her perfect cheeks. "And Veronica, you live right next to me and I haven't even seen YOU in what has it been?"
"2 months, Faye! Im sorry. The agency has kept me busy. I will make it up to you." I hugged her hard. I had lost my mother long ago and didn't know who my dad was. Faye had sort of adopted me and I felt as if she were my mother.
"If you make me some of your famous chocolate chip brownies then I might think about it." She grinned, "Come in, come in."
We had a wonderful visit with Faye dolling out all kinds of food and telling us both that we were too thin, we needed to eat more. After 2 hours Clay invited me to go out to the park with him so we could talk alone.
===========
More later....
How is it so far? Let me know?

oh im soo tierd well invisible it was.............................how do you say..........................................................................................................................GREAT,WONDERFUL,cladictive,AWESOM!!!!!

Thank you! I'm trying to think of an interesting way to put them together...or will I put them together at all?
hmmmmmmmm
I'll think on it and add on more tonight.
Happy Reading...OH and if my stories ever DO make it to print...you all will never EVER have to pay for them.....
I love you guys....

this story looks really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clay and I arrived at the park and sat on a bench overlooking the playgrounds. He and I didn't say anything for a long while. Clay broke the silence first.
"What happened. You know? Back there!" He was looking at the ground.
"I don't know. You kissed me first." I told him smiling.
"Yeah, but, Why is it that I never had these kinds of feelings before today. I mean, before you were just my closest, best friend in the world. Now..." He trailed off.
"Now what? I'm still those things. Just with a little bonus." I was laughing.
"Don't make fun of me Fric. I am trying to be serious." Clay was looking all but serious.
"Listen Frac. I love you. I always loved you. This is the longest we have been apart with you being on the show and then getting the record deal and tour and all. I think you just missed me. I missed you." I tried to explain away what happened but I knew deep down that it wasnt' only that. I was hoping so anyway.
"Maybe. I love you too. I realize we've spent more time apart than ever the past year but..I love what I do."
"Clay? I wouldn't want anything less for you. You deserve this. So...what now?" I wondered.
"well" Clay said after a few long moments. "How about this. I take you on a date tonight. We go as if we had never met before and see how it goes. If it's more than what it has always been then we'll go from there. If it's not? Well, we'll just mark it off as me making the absence up to my best girl." Clay seemed pleased with himself for thinking of that at the last moment. Or did he?
"Frac, my friend, you got yourself a date." I smiled as Clay and I began to talk about old times. Tonight, either way it ended, was gonna be unforgettable.
---------------------------

I'll continue tomorrow...Night all!

You are so awesome at these stories, I want to take lessons from you!

invisible is my fav writer. imo this is my fav. all the others were awesome but i think the fav popped out in this one

awesome!

one word WOW

OK wow is an understatement unbelievable, breathtaking! i started squealing so loud that i had to clamp my hand over my mouth so i wouldn't wake up everyone in a 5 mile radius

lol

As I got ready that evening, I started thinking about what we were about to get ourselves into. Did I really want this? I really didn't know. For a fleeting moment this morning I thought I did. But now, that I reflected I didn't think I could go through with it. I had been friends with Frac...ehem...Clay for so long. If we ended up wanting two different things then I couldn't stand to lose him. I have never had a better friend than him. Well, I thought to myself that I would just treat it as a coming home party, and like Clay said, him taking me to dinner to make up for his absence. Then if that were true, why was I taking extra care with my hair and makeup.
"ARRRGGHHH!" I growled, "What the heck is happening to me?" I tried not to think on it and finished getting ready. I waited for Clay and as usual, he showed up right on time.
"Wow!" He said with wide eyes as I opened the door. "That's a long way from the overalls and tank tops you used to wear." He commented on my short pink babydoll dress and my shoulder lenth red hair curled into shirley temples. "I mean...just...WOW!"
"Well thank you! You're looking pretty hot yourself there, Frac! Long way from the 'nerd' you used to be." I laughed. I tried to be serious but the fact was I kinda loved him for the whole nerd thing. We were nerds of a kind when we met. Clay always said that the nerd in us would always come out somehow. As I looked at him though. I couldn't find anything nerd on that man..all I could see was Clay the MAN!
=====================
Clay took me to a resteraunt in the city that served homemade creations. We used to go there as kids and share rootbeer floats. Just for old times sake, I ordered one with two straws. We ordered and Lana, the owner, commented on how good it was to finally see us together again. She remembered well the nights that Clay and I would sit for hours in her place and wash dishes for her for free ice-cream.
Clay and I talked for hours. I loved having him home. Then when it seemed we would never run out of things to say, Clay came silent.
After a moment he said, "I wasn't trying to avoid this or anything but...well...what do you feel?" He asked me.
"I...uh." I never really thought about it while we were talking but now...how did I feel.
Just when I was getting to my point. Clay's cell went off.
"Clay here. Yeah. WHAT? NOW? I can't now! When?" He shot a look at me and took on a depressed look as he said, "I'll be right there." He flipped his phone closed and came to my side of the table.
"Fric? I have to go." Clay said.
"WHAT? NOW? How come?" I said not wanting him to go anywhere...ever.
"They got one of my show dates messed up, thinking my next stop was in California two weeks from now, but instead the date is tomorrow. I have to get on a plane in an hour." He was holding my hand and almost cried.
"It's okay Frac! I know how it is. You gotta do as duty calls, right?" I tried to smile but tears were streaming down my face. "When will you be back?"
"Three months." He kissed me on the cheek. "Come with me to Mom's so I can say goodbye and then drive me to the airport oKay?"
"I can't" I lied. "I...um...have to work early in the morning and...I need to get some rest."
"Sure. I understand." Clay was resting his forehead on mine, "I love you Fric!"
"I love you too, Frac!" I kissed him lightly the way we always did when we had to say goodbye. Clay gave me his car and took a cab, waving goodbye to me for what seemed like the hundredth time in a year. Tears were flowing down his cheeks as well as mine and I said silently, "We almost made it, Clay!"
I went home and cried myself to sleep....
----------------------------
To be continued....

Muhaaahaaaahaaaa (Evil laughter) How's that for a hanger huh?
HeeHee

Allow me to BUMP..this thread...Thank you!

grrr Invisible!!!! It's okay though because everyone seems to be pretty patient with hangars!!!!! I can't wait until the next installment! I got your e-mail Invisible thanx for the praise on my story! The last chapter is probably going to be a tearjerker because I was working on it when they were playing "Amazing Grace" for Reagan....

awww cant wait

your gonna cry!

awww i cry enough. but theres enough room for another reason to cry!!
~~~~cool beans

yup

When I awoke the next morning, it was to my phone ringing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Your're two hours late." An angry voice called to me over the line. It was my boss at the modeling agency that I was a secretary for.
"Oh. Mr. Taupin! Im so sorry! I'll be right in!" I stammered already getting dressed.
"Don't bother. You're fired." He said calmly and hung up the phone.
Oh that was all I needed. It took me forever to land that job. I tried for 5 months to get that job. I was suddenly mad at Clay. How dare he keep me up so late. How dare he keep me up crying all night? What was I saying? It wasn't his fault. I started to bawl again. My phone rang again.
"Hello?" I sniffled.
"Fric? What's wrong?" Clay asked concerned.
"I just got fired from my job cuz I was two hours late."
"It was me wasn't it? You cried all night again?"
"Yes. But it isn't your fault."
"Yes it is. I let you down."
"Don't be so egotistical. It's not all about YOU!" I was thrashing out at him but he knew me too well.
"I love you, Fric!"
I love you, too!" I answered.
"Come to work for me." He said. "I need a bookeeper anyway."
"I..uh"
"Come on...you need the money and I have it and since I know you won't just take it from me then come with me and earn it." He told me.
"Okay!" I answered automatically.
"Really? Wow!" Clay said surprised. "I thought I would have to convince you more! I actually did call to ask you to come here and work for me."
"You did?" I asked.
"Yeah, my manager asked me if I knew anyone that could keep books and of course, I told him, fric is your woman!" He said.
"I...thanks...but how?" I wondered.
"Take a taxi to the airport at 7:00 tonight. They will take you from threre, straight to me." Clay instructed.
"God, I love you!" I announced and hung up the phone.
I was ecstatic. I got a second chance, not at my job...but with Clay!
-----------------------
More later tonight!

yay your on early!!
~~cool beans

grrr INVISIBLE I want more story

By the way...please find and read disclaimer in this forum before continuing and blah de blah de blah....

anyway...


----------
Clay made all the necessary arrangements for me to be at the airport. I rode in the plane all the way to Cailifornia. When i arrived there I was whisked off to a hotel room with 4 armed security guards at my sides. That made me a tad nervous but seeing as the models that I work with...ahem...USED to work with had as many going everywhere with them, it was pretty easy to get used to. I was taken to a private room and my things had already arrived. As soon as I got comfortable, Clay phoned my room.
"Frac, where are you?" I chided him. "You said they would bring me straight to you."
"Im right behind you!" Clay said from...well...behind me. He had moseyed (Is that even a real word, well it is now) out of the bathroom and said, "Surprise!"
"Clay? What..you scared the heck out of me. I thought I had a private room?" I stammered.
"Well, hi to you to Fric! You do have a private room, with me!" Clay grinned a rather sheepish grin.
I could feel knots in my stomach. I was sure that I needed to tell him how I really felt. But he beat me to the punch.
"I have something to tell you!" He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Well...sit down." I did, "Ronnie?" Clay started. I could feel myself drawn closer to his body warmth.
"Yes?" I said as breathily and sexily as I could.
"I'm in love." He stated simply. "She's the most wonderful girl I have ever known. I know she feels the same way." He grinned.
"Oh, Clay." Was all I could manange. I played along, "Well, well. What might this lucky girls name be?"
"Jody!" He smiled.
"Yes, Clay, I.....wait....what? Did you say Jody?"
"Yes, she's amazing. I met her this morning at the lobby lounge and we're going on a date tonight. I would like you to go with me. Ive told Jody all about you and she really would like to meet you." He was as excited as a 3 year old in a free candy store.
"Well...I...what about us rooming?" I asked not really caring.
"She knows...I've explained my relationship with you and Jody says you sound like a sister to me. Which in a way you are. Say you'll go Fric? Please?" Clay begged.
I was fighting back some major tears and placed a fake smile on my lips, "Sure! Can't wait."
"I love you, Fric." Clay kissed me lightly.
"I love you too, Frac!" I told him and returned the kiss. "Just not enought it seems." I said to myself as Clay went to take a shower. Only then...when he was gone....did I let the tears break free.
=========

MWAHAHAHAAAA (EVIL LAUGHTER) another hanger.

Will Ronnie claim her undying love for clay? Will he have finally found the love of his life in Jody? What will happen? Tune in to find out.

More later!

Clay and I met Jody at the lounge at the time of their date. I hadn't said anything to Clay about how I felt and now it was too late. Especially when I saw Jody for the first time. She was the same height as Clay, brown hair with golden highlights, almond shaped brown eyes, the color of rich chocolate and a figure that rivaled any model I had ever seen. God, I hated her instantly.
"Nice to meet you, Ronnie!" Jody held out her hand to me. I shook it quickly and almost slapped her when she put her arm around clay and gave him a kiss hello.
"It's Veronica to you. Only my FRIENDS call me Ronnie!" I snapped hatefully.
"Fric? What's the matter?" Clay whispered to me.
"Nothing, Frac. Just jetlag and I'm....just nothing." I sighed.
We sat down at the table and I ordered a salad and a vodka shooter. I don't normally drink but...well...I had the urge.
"Fric? You don't drink what's with the vodka shooter?" Clay asked concerned. I thought better of it and changed my order to a cherry coke.
"So, Veronica. Clayton tells me you're working for him now." Jody asked making small conversation. I told her a little of what happened and Clay seemed to be happy that we were talking.
"I want to know something, Clayton." She asked. "Why do you call each other Fric and Frac? That is so sweet." Clay responded.
"We were together constantly from the time we met. If you saw one of us the other was not far behind. So everywhere we went people would say 'there goes fric and frac'. We thought it was funny so we chose which one of us was fric and which one was frac and....well...we've called each other that ever since." Clay put his hand on mine and smiled at me.
"Clay? I'm not feeling well. I need to go back to the room." I said as I got up and bid them goodbye. It was the truth, I didn't feel good, but only because the feelings that I had for him and watching perfect Jody stroke his face, Play with his hair. and throw him kisses here and there. I couldn't take it. It couldnt' be avoided. I loved him and I was gonna have to live with seeing Jody and Clay kissing, hugging, loving, Oh, God, I couldnt' take it. I wrote clay a note:
Frac,
I can't stay. I need to stay closer to home. Maybe you can call sometime. I hope to hear from you soon. Good luck in your life. Don't forget me.
Love
Fric.

With that, I quickly packed and ordered a cab to the airport. Clay was on his way up to check on me and I wanted to be out before he arrived. I took one last look at a photo of Clay smiling up at me from the photo's that he usually signed for fans and kissed the picture lightly.
"I'll miss you Frac." I sobbed as I ran down the hallway. Knowing I was never gonna see Clay again.
----------------------------------------

OOOOOOOOO...what's gonna happen? Is he gonna find her? SUSPENSE MWAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAA (EVIL LAUGHTER).

More tonight...give the conclusion tonight. OR do you want the story to be a little longer? Let me know.

it don't matter....awwww I am about to cry....awww

yeah

Invisible, you really like writing Clay stories don't you? Sorry that was a little off subject. ffsubject:

fftopic:***************

nvrmnd i dont know how to make the off topic sign

LOL

I am to lazy to go looking for the off topic sign either so just live with what I put. Just Kidding.

I do love to write Clay FanFic. I feel guilty sometimes because he is so deeply religious and his morals are so high that I KNOW he would never do half of the things that I write about. But...a girl can dream right?

I have written other Fan Fiction too. Not all of them finished but still. I write about Members of Duran Duran (an old 80s band~in case some of you don't remember) and I write stories that are pure fiction and have no famous people in them at all!

I just love to write anything!

This is sooo fun!

yay now maybe we get more story. invisible you are fun to talk to!

awww...thank you You are the best guys. Ill write more on this story in a while...

oh and im not fun to talk to just kidding.

ClayismyHero23~~I remember you saying your name was Jody and I always liked that name. That's why i used it. (Not sucking up. Im being honest.)

Do yall love me?

Of course we do.


Hey guys. More story here in a while....stick around for the next installment....

thanx guys!

ok YAY!

LoL

The elevator doors opened just as i closed the door to the stairs. I could hear and see Clay going to our room. I decided to peek just a while longer. I saw the door to our room close and just as fast it came flying open again, Clay running out the door and looking down both ends of the hall.
"Fric? Fric? Where are you? Oh god! Ronnie?" Clay called to the empty hallway. He went back to the room leaving the door open. I could hear him telling the front desk not to let me go anywere. He was crying and it was killing me.
He came out of the room and shut the door. I watched as he slid down the length of the entry and put his head in his hands. Clay was bawling.
"Fric. I don't understand." He sobbed.
I couldn't go! For all that I hated myself for it, I just couldn't leave him like that.
"I'm still here." I said quietly as I came out of the stairwell.
"OH FRIC!!! I thought you had left already. Why were you just going to leave me like that?" Clay was still sobbing, "thank God you came back." He grabbed me and hugged me tight.
"I'm still leaving Clay." I told him simply.
"No..you are gonna stay with me. I can't let you go."
"I'm leaving. You have someone now and I can't watch. I'm in love with you and I know that you and I can't go back to being just best buds after I reveal this to you but. I AM in love with you. Jody and you are good together, but I will spend my entire life hoping that no matter who you are with, that they fail miserably at loving you. Something inside me died when i saw you with her. I wanted it to be me." I paused to see Clay's reaction. It wasn't what I thought it was gonna be.
"I'm sorry. I love you but...I don't know if Im in love with you!" Clay said as he looked at the ground. "I thought there was something more there but everytime I kissed you it felt like it was sinful or wrong. Like I was kissing a relative."
"Goodbye...Clayton!" I no longer could use the funny nickname we used as kids. There was too much lost now!
"Ronnie? Please. Your my best friend." Clay's red-rimmed eyes were only matched by my own.
"I messed it up, Clay. I should have let well enough alone. I couldn't do it. I had to know. Now I do!" I ran into the elevator and pused the down button. Clay calling me the whole time. I ignored him. It's all I could do now.
Jody had been listening to the conversation as she stood in the stairwell and when I launched into the elevator, Jody took two steps at a time to beat me to the lobby. As I walked out of the elevator Jody stepped in front of me.
"Don't worry Ronnie! We'll name our first child after you." She broke into laughter and headed to the elevator to go back to Clay's room. I cried all the way home.
------------------------

MWUHAAAAAAAAHAAAAHAAHAAAA (EVIL LAUGHTER) more hangers....hahahahahaaaaaaaa....is this the end? What about Clay and Jody? Tune in for more

In a while..be patient my lovlies. Patience is a virtue...good things come to those who wait....Im just jokin' Ill post another part here in a little while....Promise

k YAY!!

You haven't posted it yet. how mean i thought u made a promise. just kidding.

As I arrived home, I was not surprised to find Faye sitting in my living room. I had asked her to keep an eye on my place as I was gone. Faye patted the seat next to her and as I sat, she put her arm around my shoulders.
"Clayton just called me. He told me you two had a big fight." Faye said.
"Yeah, I....just..." I tried to continue but frustrated tears burst forth and suddenly I was raging at Clay.
"How could he do this to me? He tells me that he might want something more and then when I decide that I do too, he backs out! I finally got the voice to tell him and then perfect little JODY comes along and grabs him. and THEN he tells me that he just thought there was something more. Knowing that we can't go back after that. I HATE your son!" I was rambling and she knew it. I turned to her and she pulled me into a hug while I cried. "Im sorry, Mom!" I had almost always called her this. She felt more like a mom to me now that ever.
"Don't be! I agree. Clayton showed bad judgement by leading you on. I told him as much when he told me what was happening. But are you sure that you wanted more? I mean, did you really think on it?" Faye asked me. Her lovely eyes showing no sign of whose side she was on.
"Yes, I did!" I told her honestly. "Since the day he came home. I figured at first that it was just his absence that was confusing me but, the more I thought about it the more I knew that he was who I wanted." I was staring at the floor.
"Veronica? I know you love him. Give him time to be with this new girl and see if he returns to you. If you truly love each other then he will find a way to you." She smiled.
"Thanks for making me feel better." I hugged her and after a while she left me alone with my house
---------------------------------------------
1 month later
---------------------------------------------
Clay knocked on the door hoping that Ronnie was there. His mother had told him to give her time. Not to go running after her so fast. She was really angry at Clay from what his mom told him and Clay did want to go after her, but sense told him that running after a woman that was raging mad was NOT a good idea. An elderly man with no hair answered the door.
"Nye help yuh?" He asked rather sleepily.
"Yes, Im looking for Ronnie. Is she here?" Clay was confused.
"Nope no Ronnie here. OH you mean Ms. LaBon?" Clay nodded as the man continued. "Oh, she sold this house to my and my wife 3 weeks ago. I don't know where she moved to but she seemed real happy to be away from here. Name's Cameron by the way." Cameron, the elderly man, held out his hand.
"Clayton Aiken. Nice to meet you. My mom lives next door." Clay told him as he returned the man's handshake.
"Faye? Oh she's a sweetheart. My Martha loves her cookies. You tell her we said hello when you see her." Cameron said.
"Will do. Thank you." Clay felt dejected as he walked toward his mother's home. Ronnie was gone. It was too late.
"No it isn't, you idiot. Find her." His mind told him.
He was determined to fix the mess he was in with her. No matter what!!!

awww!!!!! so sweet

You all let this die to the second page? I might cry!

anywho....

Remember I don't know clay. this is fiction, Characters are made up except for Clay, Faye, others are mine, don't sue, yada yada, and yada....

"Thank you." Clay said to the person on the other end of the phone. He felt like he had said that about 300 times today. He had called everywhere he could think of to find Ronnie. He finally came to the last number the operator had given him. He had officially called all over North Carolina for her.
==================
I had just unpacked my last box. I had put it off. My phone started ringing. Who could be calling me now? I just got my phone installed and turned on the day before.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Fric? Oh, thank God I found you! I have literally looked all over North Carolina for you." Clay told me. His voice tore me apart.
"Clayton, how did you find me?" I asked.
"Eden? You moved all the way to Eden? Why did you move at all?" I was silent. "Answer me!" He yelled.
"Clayton, I can move where I like. I needed a job and found this city and loved it so im here I'm working in City Hall as a secretary.." I rambled.
"You could have kept working for me. That was our deal." Clay said sounding a little put off. "I can't believe you are gonna throw away our friendship because of this. I thought you and I were best friends?"
"Listen, CLAYTON HOLMES AIKEN. I don't care how big you think you are. Don't talk to me like this is my fault. I was perfectly fine leaving this all alone. the way it was but NO. You had to go and ask me for more. I didn't approach you, you approached ME! Then when I think that you and I are gonna be more you find JODY! and then dump me like I am the annoying little sister. Well let me tell you somethng. I hope you and JODY are well and happy together and I also hope that she was worth losing me over!" I hung up the phone and unplugged it from the wall.
------------------------------------------
"I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you go!" Clay screamed as he got into his car. He had a long trip ahead.


HA....there! Conclusion later tonight. How do you like that???

You are so good at stories, sorry that I can't read your addition right now though.

i actually started cryin when Ronnie left! no joke!

aww..that's sweet that you got into that story so much. That makes me feel good. It gets better. I'll post the conclusion later. I hope you all like how I end it!

BTW..thanx for the great reviews.

no not later now!

im leavin tomarow @ like 6am and i wont have internet access for 2 weeks PLEASE post the conclusion PLEASE!

Clays#1 fan, If she deosn't write the conclusion then I will tell it to you over the phone tomorrow.

I had sat down to the meger supper I had cooked thinking about Clay. God, what was I doing? No, I was doing the right thing. I just knew it. Someone knocked at the door.
I opened it to find Clay, sobbing.
"I'm not leaving." He simply stated.
"Clay? How did..you know what? I don't care." I said as he pushed his way in.
"Listen good. I LOVE you! You are going to pack your stuff and forget this nonsense and go to vegas with me RIGHT NOW!" He yelled as he threw my things into boxes.
"What? Vegas? Why?" What was he doing? I wondered. To stunned to yell back.
"I wanna marry you. NOW!" He cried.
"Clay! What makes you think I want to marry you? What about Jody?" I asked, bewildered.
"I followed her down the stairwell. I heard what she said to you. When I saw the look on your face it hit me that what I felt for Jody was only masking what I felt for you. I was afraid, Fric! I thought that if you and I got together that it might not be the same. I told Jody to go to Hell. I realized that I have never loved anyone because they aren't you, Ronnie." Clay's voice sobered and he moved towards me. I for some reason, let him put his arms around me and I slid my hands around his neck.
"I love you, Fric. Will you marry me? Tonight?" He asked kissing me lightly.
"I love you to Frac. Let's do it!" I cried and realized that no matter where I went in life Clay had always been with me. Now it will be so forever. I love him! Fric and Frac are together again.

The End...

I have an alternate ending but this is the one that I liked.
What did you think?

It looks really good, but I haven't even read the first post to this story yet, sorry.

someone needs to make a series of short movies out of these! seriously, these r awesome!!!!!

I REALLY WISH THAT I HAD TIME TO READ THIS!!!!!!

Wow! Wouldn't that be great??? We could all star in them, and get Clay to play himself in every story....


:: Drifts off into private thought about Clay acting out the R stories with her::


ehem...sorry!

Claysgurl...if you want to read them so bad then stop posting every 20 seconds and take a few minutes to read them!!

hahahaha i laughed out loud when i read that, thats a fantasy that i have had alot in my life dreaming up r ratd stories and having me be the main character..... haha is that bad? does that mean that i have a sick mind?

Yes Clays #1 fan, you didn't know that you had a sick mind, I thought we went through this before?

invisibible is right gurl, take a moment off of your pbbsessive posting and read it! it doesnt have to b now but some time!

we went through this b4?

yep.

really... if u do wanna read them bad then u should stop posting and do it.. it is worth it!!

Great story.. it was really cute and i loved it!!!!!!!

yup that is a cute story!

this is a different ending that I didn't like. I liked the other better. But I will post it anyway!


I sat down to the meger supper that I had cooked for myself in the only stove I had. A 20 year old microwave that I had bought at a yard sale the day I arrived. I worked for the mayor of Eden now as a secretary and spent my first two paychecks just finding a place to live. My phone rang again.

"Fric?" It was Clay! Again!
"WHAT!" I yelled into the phone.
"I love you!" He stated.
"Clayton, you should have thought of that a couple of weeks ago. Would have saved us a lot of trouble." I told him.
"I know. But I do love you. I wish I had thought of how much sooner but..you know me..." Clay trailed off.
"Yeah, your kinda slow to catch up." I smiled despite the fact that I was mad at him.
"Fric? Come home. I miss you. I want to marry you!" Clay told me and I sat on the phone, stunned.
"What? Clayton, I....What about Jody?" I wondered.
"I saw what she did to you and dumped her two days ago." Clay told me.
"Wait...she did that to me a month ago and you JUST dumped her? What took so long?"
"I...um...I wanted to make sure my feelings were...real..for her...and they weren't. I'm sorry." Clay said dejected.
"REAL...FOR HER??? Oh my GOD Clay!"....then it hit me..."Clay? Oh my god. Your taking me on a rebound aren't you. You don't really love me your just P.O.'d that your alone. Am I right?" silence from the other end. "AM I RIGHT?"
"Okay so she dumped ME..but we fought all night about what she said to you." He cried.
"Oh..well that makes me feel SO much better. WOW! What concern, Clayton. Listen. We HAD a friendship. We no longer have one. You and I were like the right and left hand. Now...I don't even want to look at you. Goodbye CLAYTON. Good luck with all your tour stuff and life and....goodbye." I hung up.
-----------------------------
1 year later.
-----------------------------
I put down the paper that I had been reading. I couldn't help but cry. I missed him. Apparently the feeling was only flowing one way. I read the annoucment of Clay and Jody's marriage in the paper and felt my stomach turn in knots.
"Clay Claims to have his One True Love." The headline went. He never called me after that day one year ago. I don't know what I'll do without him. I looked over at the empty side of my bed. It should have been Clay filling that side. I couldn't stand it. My stomach hurt all the time now. The bottle of tequila I had been nursing found it's way into my hand and I stared at the amber liquid that seemed to be my only comfort these days. I was a washed up 26 year old alcoholic. I lost my job. My apartment, my money, 2 weeks ago. I was getting ready to be evicted. I could sink no lower I thought.
I reached into my nightstand draw and drew out three things. A peice of paper, a pen, and a pill bottle. On the paper I simply wrote....

I love you Frac!

I emptied the bottle after that, and sat back to wait....

The end!


See I didn't like that one. To close to home for me girls....don't ask..long story!

Don't do ANYTHING as stupid as this character guys....believe me NOTHING, EVER is worth dying for...

anywho...I didn't like it but posted it anyway....so...bye....

I don't know if I will make it an R rate though. Might just be a strong language fic. I might not do an R for a while. I don't know!
