Chapters 71-75

**Chapter 71**

As soon as we reached the hotel, Justin found a parking spot and parked the car. We climbed out and headed towards the hotel. I was shocked to see members of the paparazzi there, outside the hotel, as we approached. “We had better make a run for it,” Justin suggested. I nodded in agreement as I took his good hand and started sprinting towards the door. We reached the doors and made it safely inside in no time. As soon as we were deep into the lobby, we sighed a sigh of relief. We walked to the elevator and pressed the up button. We stood and waited for a minute before the elevator appeared. As soon as the doors opened, we walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor, to get to their roof top suite. Within a few minutes, the elevator stopped and we heard a small ding before the doors opened. As soon as they opened, we walked out and Justin inserted his key card into the door and we walked in. “Hey guys, we’re back,” Justin yelled as he closed the door behind him. “Welcome back you too,” Lance called from a far room. “I’ll be right back, I am going to change,” he whispered to me. “Ok, that is fine sweetheart,” I whispered back before walking over to the couch and taking a seat. “Hey Brianna,” Chris said as he walked into the room. “Oh hey Chris, what’s up?” I stated. “Oh I wanted to give you this bag and also wanted to ask you if you could see if your parents would be willing to let you model my clothing line if we hired a tutor for you.” Chris stated as he plopped a bag on my lap. I looked through the bag and saw some of the amazing clothes I had seen in drawings and pictures. I ran my hand through the bag and found a bucket bat with the design on the front and I plopped it on my head. “Thanks for the stuff and I don’t see why I can’t model your clothing line because my parents have already hired me a tutor to help me finish off my junior year and most likely tutoring is the way senior year will go.” I stated. We hung out until it got kind of late and then Justin took me back home. As soon as I was in, I went upstairs, changed and went straight to bed.

The last three days the guys spent in Lexington were hard ones on Justin and to his disappointment, they passed quickly. Finally, the guys of ‘N Sync were able to put the past behind them somewhat and were allowed to go home and take it easy in Florida for the rest of the time that they were ordered to. It had taken long enough, but it didn’t matter because the only thing they really cared about was going home. Brianna had said to them that once things had gotten totally settled down there in Lexington and Orlando, she would come to Orlando with her brother Brian to visit and all, since Brian and Kevin both had their own places in Florida besides their homes here in Lexington. Brianna would also get to spend a lot of time with the guys due to the fact that her mother and father had said that she could model for Chris’s clothing line. As soon as she had told Chris that, he also offered her a position on the Crew itself, which her parents let her take as well. Brianna was so surprised and overjoyed at that news. Chris had actually taken the time to explain the whole deal to her and told her that next time he got a chance, he would fully explain it to her and introduce her to Dani and Danielle, both of whom help him run the company. Brianna, Brian, and Kevin went to the airport and saw the guys off. The flight was only an hour and a half, but to the guys of ‘N Sync, it seemed like an eternity. Once, they had gotten home, the guys got settled in their beds and rested because they were all very tired from all that they had endured in the past couple of weeks and besides all of the traveling that they had done in the past months had finally caught up with them.

A week later, Brianna was hanging out in her room, listening to music, when there was a knock on her door. “Come on.” I said. “Hey sis, want to go for a drive and a movie?” Brian asked. “Sure, I don’t see why not. I mean, I have nothing better to do anyway since it is a Saturday and I only meet with my tutor during the week. Just let me change,” I replied as I got up. Brian left the room and I changed into a pair of flared jeans that had butterflies on them and put on a baby blue tank that had butterflies on it as well. I grabbed my sandals from my closet and slipped them on my feet. I fixed my hair into two braided pigtails and then headed out of my bedroom. I met Brian at the bottom of the stairs. “Mom, Brianna and I are going to the movies, be back in a couple of hours.” Brian yelled as we headed out the door. When we had reached the movie theater, Brian parked and we walked up to the box office to buy tickets for a show. Brian and I took a look at what was playing and thought about it for a minute before bringing it up. “Which show would you like to see sis?” Brian asked. “How about ‘The Green Mile’?” I suggested. “Ok, Two for ‘The Green Mile’” he said to the person in the box office. Brian paid and we went in. “Want to get some drinks?” he asked as he got in line. “Of course,” I said, “no snacks for me though, because I am not hungry.” We waited patiently in line and it only took a few minutes for us to get to the front of the line. “I’ll take two large sprites and one small bag of popcorn,” Brian ordered. He paid and we gathered up our stuff and walked into the theater. We quickly found seats and sat down. Not long after we had sat down, the lights dimmed and the movie started.

Before we knew it, the movie was over and we were walking out of the theater. “That was a great movie, thanks for taking me, Brian,” I said to my brother. “Oh, no problem sis, just glad to be able to do something with you.” He replied as we headed to his Jeep. As soon as we were in the car, he turned on his cell phone and made a call. “Hey, its me. Yeah. Ok. Bye.” He said into the phone before hanging it up and putting it away. “Ready to go home?” he asked. “Yes, I am,” I replied. He started up the car and slowly backed out of his parking spot. He pulled out onto the road and headed home. I flipped on the radio and couldn’t believe it when I heard my brother and cousin’s group’s song “Larger Than Life.” I grinned as I sang along to the song, in perfect tune with my brother’s voice in the song. Brian smiled as he heard me singing along perfectly because it made it so clear to him that I was meant to be a singer as well, but that needed to be worked on. As the song ended, I felt my pager going off, so I unclipped my pager and took a look at it to see who was paging me. I pulled my cell phone out of my purse and dialed the number that had been displayed on the screen. “Hey babe,” I said as soon as someone picked up. We talked as I heard one of ‘N Sync’s songs come on the radio. I turned the volume down a bit, so that Brian could think and so that I could talk and hear easily.

We talked right up until we pulled into the driveway. I hung up and put the phone back into my purse as Brian opened my door and helped me out. We walked in the house, which was extremely quiet. “Brian where is everyone?” I asked. “No clue,” he replied, “let’s go outside.” “Ok,” I said as I followed him towards the backyard. Brian opened the door and walked out. I followed him outside and was shocked as I heard people yell “Surprise!” “OMG! I don’t believe this,” I said as I surveyed who was there in the yard. My parents, Harold, my cousin and his family, as well as each of the other members of the Backstreet Boys and their families were there. I hugged Brian and then I gave hugs to my parents and Harold too. “Why don’t I introduce you around?” Brian said. “Ok, I responded with a smile. “Of course, you know your cousin and his family over there,” he said as he motioned to where Kevin was standing. I nodded as I followed him. We walked over to a big group of people, 7 people in fact. “I am pretty sure that you know Nick,” He said. I nodded. “Ok, well that is his mother Jane(pointing to an older lady with long blondish hair), that is his father Bob(motioning to a dark-haired man), his little brother Aaron, Aaron’s twin Angel(a young girl with brown hair), Leslie, and BJ.” After Brian had finished introducing me to the Carters, he took me over to the easiest group to introduce, which is AJ’s family. “This is AJ’s mom, Denise,” he stated as he gave this woman a hug. He took me over to the last group and introduced me to Howie’s family. “This is his dad Hoke, his mom Paula, his brother John, and his sisters Angie and Pollyanna.”
