Just like Nick said, I managed to clear my head and go on stage just as hyper as the rest of the girls, at 8pm. I could tell that Joey was still upset, but Dare was giving in a little. And Fox was too. He danced with me alot, even more than usual.

At 8:25pm, after we thanked the audience, we all ran off stage. Dare pulled me away from the crowd right away.

"I'm sure you noticed, or Cher and Marce told you, I'm not mad at you for leaving. I'm glad you chose Andie over the party. I was just jealous, that you might get to see Kent, and I won't. Hell, I'm still jealous. I'm so sorry Fay." Dare said sadly. Before I replied, I pulled her into a huge hug. When we pulled away, I answered,

"It's ok Dare. You and Joey being mad at me was making me so depressed. But I talked to Nick and Aaron, and Marce and Cher... and I felt better. And I feel even better knowing you're not mad."

"Good. I don't want you depressed, ever. I think you should just go home, relax... you'll be fine. And tell Andie to get better, and we all love her." Dare told me. I nodded.

"She probably feels so bad, making me leave the tour. My dad said that I didn't have to go... but you know how horrible I'd feel I didn't go?" I asked, and she nodded. I hugged her once more.

*3 Hours Later; Richmond Airport*

All the girls, Luke, Tony, Fox, Jimmy, Trevor, Jamal and I were all standing in the airport, waiting. It was just after 11pm. My plane would be boarding in half an hour. I'd already said goodbye to everyone before we left for the airport. I hadn't talked to Fox yet, although I knew he wasn't mad. He was just a little sad, still. I was only worrying about Joey. And I didn't want to leave with her still upset. So I pulled her aside to talk to her.

"Joey, please, you're my best friend. I won't leave until we talk." I told her. She looked up, but not into my eyes.

"Fine, talk." she replied, a little rudely.

"I know you were really looking forward to the party. But I also know you'd go home in a second if Victor was sick." I told her.

"But he's not." Joey said, looking at the ground again.

"Yeah, but Andie is. I love her, and I can't let her down. She'll feel better if she sees me." I said. Joey couldn't think of anything to say. She, again, knew I was right. Before she spoke again, she wrapped her thin arms around my body and hugged me so tight.

"I'm so sorry. How the hell could I have been so selfish?" she asked, "I'm more worried about a party than you're little sister, who is like my sister." Joey yelled, getting upset with herself.

"It's ok Joe-" I started, but she cut me off.

"No, it's not. I can't believe what I've been doing all day. I've been so rude... I've been such a bitch." she lowered her voice. I shook my head "no".

"It's ok, really. Andie's gonna be ok. I just want to go and make sure of that. She knows you love her, she knows we all love her." I told her. All Joey could do was nod.

Before we knew it, we heard a voice over the loud intercom thing, saying,

"All passangers taking flight 723 to Chicago, Ilinois, please board the plane immediately."

I had to go to Chicago first, then down to Jackson. It would take about six hours in total. And I wasn't looking forward to it. I hugged everyone once more, and kissed Fox. He pulled me close and wouldn't let me go.

"I don't want you to leave me. I wanna go with you." he whispered.

"It's a little too late for that." I half smiled, and kissed his lips again. He nodded. "I love you so much, Fox, and I'll be in New York City Monday morning." I told him. He nodded again.

"I love you too, baby. Call Jimmy's cell so I can talk to you, alright?" he asked.

"Of course I will. I gotta go... bye." I finished. Then I waved to everyone as I walked into the tunnel thing that lead to the plane.

*About 6 Hours Later; 6am*

I got off the plane, my heart beating so fast I thought it was going to jump out of my chest. I don't know why I was this excited to see my family, maybe I was also nervous. I don't know, but I ran through Jackson's airport, knowing exactly where to meet them. As soon as I got to the place, right by the soveniour store, I saw my dad. It felt like I hadn't seen him in weeks, even months. Although it was only five days.

"Daddy!" I screamed, and ran right into his arms. After we hugged for a minute, we pulled away and he replied,

"We missed you, sweetie, you look good."

"Dad, it's only been five days!" I laughed. He nodded, knowingly.

"How's everything going on tour?" he asked, and I took a deep breath. I hadn't thought about the girls, Fox or Nick at all, since I left Richmond. Now I had to.

"Great, we're having so much fun!" I told him, forcing a smile. It was weird how much I missed them, already. And I guess since it was so early in the morning, I was a little cranky. "How is everything here? I mean, other than Andie." I finished.

"Everything is good. Andie is getting a little better, and seeing you will hopefully help, too. She just hates being cooped up in the hospital like she is." he told me, as we began walking to the nearest exit. I just wanted to go home and see my mom and Abbie, and then go see Andie.

The drive home was long and quiet. He didn't know what to say to me, and I didn't know what to say to him. It was weird. I guess he hated the silence, though, so he spoke up, when we were almost home.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" he asked, "Normally you'd be talking my ear off. Aren't you having fun on tour?"

"Yes, I am, we all are. It's awesome. I love being on stage more than anything. But I'm just thinking about alot of things." I replied.

"Like what, honey? You can talk to me." he told me.

"I know. Um, oh, Fox and I are going out now." I smiled, thinking about Fox.

"Really?" my dad asked, "I'm not surprised. You and him get along really well together." I nodded.

"Yeah, he's great. And we've become really good friends with the Backstreet Boys, and Aaron Carter, and Christina Agularia, and everyone." I said, still smiling.

"Good, that's good. Abbie and Andie are going to be mad at you, they love Aaron Carter." my dad laughed. It's true, my sisters are obsessed with Aaron. I never really thought about that.

"Oh yeah, it's weird, huh? Aaron is so awesome... and... we were supposed to go to a party tonight... in New York..." I said, getting a bit sad again. I really wanted to go to that party. Shit.

"Really? Was it an important party?" my dad wondered. I shook my head "no".

"No, not at all. It was just our first party, and we were just excited about it. It's not a big deal." I replied.

"Oh, ok." my dad finished, as he pulled into our driveway. I sighed. It felt good to be home, but I also really wanted to be out on tour with my group and my boyfriend.

We got out of the car, and I ran up to the front door. I didn't have any bags, since I didn't bring anything home. I opened the door quickly and there, waiting for me, was my mom and my sister Abbie. I ran into their arms. Seriously, it felt like it had been weeks since I'd seen them.

"Fay! We missed you so much!" Abbie yelled. I laughed at her words.

"Abs, it's only been five days." I reminded her.

"Seriously? It seems like way longer than that!" she laughed, hugging me again.

"Well, I missed you too." I replied.

Then I went to my room, just to see it. Then I picked up my cordless phone and dialed Kent's number right away. It rang three times, and I just prayed he would answer. Suddenly I heard,

"Hello?"

"Hey, Kent! Guess where I am?" I asked him with a smile.

"Too late, Fay-Fay, Dare already told me you'd be back in Jackson... you wanna come over?" he asked me happily.

"I'm not sure when we're going to the hospital to see Andie, but sure, I'll come sometime. I'm here til Sunday night." I told him smiling. Kent was a really awesome friend, I loved going to his house to hang out, and watch movies on his big screen TV.

"Alright, awesome. Well call me when you find out ok? I can't believe I haven't seen you in like, almost a week." he laughed. I smiled.

"Ok, I'll go talk to my parents, and then I'll call you back." I told him happily.

"Cool. See ya baby." he smiled. He always called me "baby", "babe" or "Fay-Fay". He had cute little nicknames for everyone.

"Bye Kenny." I finished, and put down the phone. Grinning, I ran downstairs again to talk to my parents.

About ten minutes later, we decided we'd go up to see Andie around noon, for a few hours. Then I could go over to Kent's after that, for the evening. I was so happy when I called Kent back to tell him that. And he was happy too.

For the rest of the morning Abbie and I hung out. I told her all about Aaron (Carter) and she got really jealous of me. I told her about the Backstreet Boys, and the other performers, and all about the concerts and the radio show and everything! I brought home some pictures to show her too. Just some of Aaron and BSB and everyone that I'd taken. I love taking pictures so much. I told her about Fox and I, and she got so excited. But she wondered why I chose "boring old Fox" over "a hottie like Nick Carter". My answer to that? I told her,

"It's just love, Abbie, it's just love."
