"Oh like I'm supposed to smile and pretend like I'm into this cheepy music?" I questioned back.
"Well you could at least be polite?" Becky chimed in.
"Okay your supposed to be on my side here, I mean come on you're my friends," I scolded back. The concert slowed down and the guys announced they'd do an autograph session after the show. "Eeeee we gotta get their autographs!" Becky squeeled.
"No! I am not standing in line to get some stuck-up British groups autograph," I demanded.
"Oh just go with it," Becky said. So we hudled into line with tones of girls. All giggling with huge smiles on their faces.
'Oh please,' I thought. Did they even know what kind of jerks these guys where.
"Erin stop the pouting this is your chance to get back into the playing field," Jen said.
"Nope not intrestead," I said as we approached the autograph table. We got the autographs and Becky and Jen began chatting with the two dark haired hotties. I stood next to the blonde one but didn't say anything til he chimed in. "Hey I'm Christian," he said extending his hand.
"Erin," I siad.
"May I ask why you looked so glum and down in the audience?" he asked in his cute British accent.
"You noticed me?' I asked unaware.
"Of course you always recognise the sad face of a beautiful girl," he said with a smirk. I glared back but before I could say a thing Becky chimmed in.
"Erin the guys are done sining autographs in a half an hour they're gonna meet us at the Peter Pan ride," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Cause we wanna hang out and hear more about this new band," Jen siad winking.
"Sure whatever," I said. We left the session and rolled on to the Matterhorn.
"Guys I'm not so sure about meeting them," I said.
"Why? Their not gonna bite," Both Jen and Becky laughed.
"It's just it's so hard for me to look at another guy without thinking I'm cheeting on A.J."
"Common A.J. always tried to make you believe you where cheating on him when you weren't. Erin, hanging out with a guy who's been your best bud since you where five is not cheating or is looking at a guy while your walking through the mall," Jen reminded me.
"Yeah," I said.
"Okay so then it's settled we'll meet the fine English guys outside Peter Pans ride," they said and we ran off to the ride. We made our way there and saw three guys standing there.
"Hey girls," one of the dark haired sayed. We all introduced ourselves and decided to go on Peter Pan. Two to a seat of course so I was stuck with the cute one. No temptation for me, I thouight srcastically. "So may I ask again while you where so sad tonight?" he asked.
"Yeah..I guess. It's just I broke up with my boyfriend and my friends thought taking me to the concert would be fun," I said not looking at him as the ride began.
"And it wasn't," he said.
"Geez are you a mind reader too?" I asked sarcastucally.
"Nope just know a broken heart when I see when," he said.
"How?" I asked.
"I'm getting over one myself it's like people who have been totally damaged by other people have this radar or something. It's like we're all magnets that just cling together somehow," he said. It made perfect sense.
"So why'd you break up?" I asked.
"Ohh she was way too into herself and wasn't supportive of my career," he siad.
"Oh really?' I asked.
"Yeah why?" he asked.
"Well I broke up with mine cause he was way too into his career and never even took the time of day to acknowledge me," I said almost to tears.
"Oh I wasn't like that I was always with her she just didn't like the fact that I had a lot of girls screaming at me," he said.
"Oh I never minded that I mean girls had hate sites about me and some loved me but I just never minded. It was his selfishness that ended the whole thing," I said.
"Oh I just despise people who are all about themselves," he said. I smiled showing that I related.
"By the way who was your ex? Anyone I know?" he asked. "Ummm maybe you might have heard of them. A.J. McLean from the Backstreet Boys," I said.
"No way! So your Erin Clark?"
"Live and in person," I said.
"Cool."
"Not really, but hey it's nice too talk to someone who can relate," I siad smiling.
" I know it's helping a lot," he said. We both smiled..it had been the first in a month.
"I have a feeling that was your first smile in a while?" he hinted.
"Yeah how did you know?" I asked.
"Cause it was mine," he said. We both smiled and headed off the ride with everyone else. We went over to get cotton candy and Christine bought me some. I was happy to have someone who related to me. "Okay so what next?' Ste asked.
"I don't know what about splash mountain?" Chrisine suggested. Everyone agreed and we headed toward the big nountain. We got to the front of the line loaded into the log ride. I propped myself against Christian. "Is this okay?" I asked.
"uhuh," he said bitting his lip. We finally came down the huge mountain and got drenched. Once we where off the ride the cold air hit my wet shirt and i became chilly.
"Your cold love," Christian said.
"No I'm fine," I said though I knew I was turning blue.
"Yes you are," he said taking off his sweatshirt and pulling it over my head.
"Thanks," I siad amd smiled back.
"Guys the parks closing in a bit so lets get some shopping in," Jen suggested. So we went to Poohs Corner and began shopping. I found a huge pooh Bear stuffed animal that I fell in love with. Christian stood behind me while I stared at the big bear. Everyone was edging to leave so I forgot about the bear and went out with the rest of them. "I'll be right out," Christin said and we all left him inside. He soon came back out with the giant pooh bear wrapped in clear paper and tied with a huge bow. "For you love,' he siad.
"You didn't have to do this,' I said.
"I know but I thought it might bring a bigger smile to your face," he siad and kissed me on the cheek in front of everyone. I smiled and Becky and Jen winked. Yeah he was nice but he was a friend and only that. The guys walked us to our car and told us they'd be in the area for the next week. Tomorrow they had another gig at Disneyland and then they had a week off. They insisted that we come up tomorrow and spend some time with them again. We hesitated but agreed. Tomorrow would be nice.
