"Shut it, Rok! You'll wake the dead!" he yelled. He was in a much better mood than before.
"Oh really, Boner...I'll race ya up the stairs!" Brian laughed and started running.
"Hey, no fair!" AJ yelled and chased after him.
"Damn kids," Kevin said, just joking around. Howie laughed.
"Usually it's Brian and Nick chasing each other around," he said to Kevin.
"Where is Nick, anyways?" Kevin asked. He turned to Howie, and Howie shrugged. They suddenly heard a loud snore from inside the bus. Kevin climbed on to find Nick on the floor, sleeping like a baby. "Nick, wake up!" Kevin yelled.
"No mommy, five more minutes, then I'll go to school," he mumbled, and rolled over. Kevin sighed.
"Get up, your girlfriend's naked," he lied. Nick shot up like a ball out of a cannon.
"Wha? Where?" he said, surprised. Kevin just laughed. "Aw, Kev, why you gotta be like that? I don't even have a girlfriend." Nick stood up and yawned.
"Time for bed. You're not sleeping out here all night. You'll catch a cold."
"Yes, Daddy," Nick teased, and stomped down the steps. He followed Howie into the hotel. Kevin shook his head and walked in after them.
"Aw, come on Kev, can't we do somethin'?" Brian complained. "I'm bored."
"It's too late, look, Nick is sleeping and AJ's about to pass out."
"Nick sleeps all the time and AJ always is about to pass out. And not just from tiredness," Brian whined. Kevin glared at him.
"Fine, but when you can't wake up tomorrow, it's not my fault." AJ was about to nod off, but he opened his eyes and sat up.
"What we gonna do?"
"Something fun!"
"Like Alyssa?" Alyssa was AJ's girlfriend at the moment.
"Shut up! No, like a game or something." Nick woke up to that.
"If you break my Gameboy Ima kill you," he growled, half asleep. They all laughed.
"I'm gonna go get us some sodas from the machine in the lobby. Anybody got money?" AJ said. Brian grabbed AJ's wallet out of his pants and gave him a five. AJ took it, not knowing it was his wallet, and walked downstairs.
"ALEXANDER MCLEAN!" a voice yelled. AJ ran down the stairs.
"What, what?" he said, not knowing who was talking to him. He suddenly got slapped in the back of the head.
"AJ where were you all of tonight?" Alyssa demanded.
"Babe, I was at a concert. You know that."
"Yeah, right. Like I'm going to believe that."
"But sweetie..." AJ tried to say, but Alyssa cut him off.
"Don't 'But sweetie...' me!" she yelled. "That girl over there says you were in her room all night making love to her!" she continued, pointing to a young girl, about twelve, that had a Backstreet Boys shirt on. AJ stared at her in surprise.
"But Alyss, that's just..."
"Don't 'But Alyss' me!" she yelled, getting more and more pissed with every word he said.
"She's only a fan! Lots of fans say that!" AJ finished finally.
"That's what I'm going to believe from someone like you, AJ."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"You know what I mean, AJ! It's over with us!" Alyssa screamed. With that, she stormed off. AJ just stood there, watching her walk. He felt like crying because he loved her so much. He couldn't believe she thought for one second that he'd cheat on her. The thought never crossed his mind. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he got.
"This is just what I needed! A bitch to break my heart!" he suddenly yelled, and burst into tears. He ran up the stairs and to Brian's room, knowing everyone was in his room and wouldn't bother him for a long while. He flopped onto the bed and just cried.
