Chapter 13
“Hey AJ, I’d like you to meet my girlfriend, Cindy.” Brian said trying to introduce us.
AJ glared at me. I tried my best to calm my anger down. I didn’t feel like fighting with him,
especially in front of Brian in a fancy restaurant. I breathed in deeply pushing some of my
anger down. ‘Not now’ I tried to tell myself.
“We’ve met before.” I said to Brian. He had a shocked look on his face.
“Ya, this is the stupid bimbo who hit my car.” AJ told the guys.
That was it, his comment made me mad. All the anger I tried to pull back suddenly lashed
out of me. My mouth dropped open.
“How dare you call me a stupid bimbo!” I yelled at him. People surrounding our table looked
over at us.
“You are stupid, you said that I smashed your car. Any idiot would know it was the other way
around.”
“Just because you are some famous singer in some group doesn’t mean you can go around
insulting people.” I yelled at him.
Just then I realized something. If AJ was friends with Brian, does that mean Brian is a
Backstreet Boy too? Did I just meet the whole group? My thoughts filled my head and I
started to get a headache. I looked at Brian blankly. “Are you a Backstreet Boy?” I asked
him.
He looked apologetically at me. I suddenly felt betrayed. He kept a secret from me that I
had a right to know about. When did he plan on telling me? Why didn’t he tell me? I just
wanted to break down and cry. I thought Brian and I had something special going on, but he
proved to me just then that I was wrong.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked him. He didn’t answer me. “I want to go home now.” I told
him grabbing my jacket. I looked at the rest of the group who was watching the whole fight.
“Nick, Kevin, Howie, it was nice to meet you.” I turned around and started to walk out the
door.
“Cindy, I am sorry.” Brian said to me as we got out of the restaurant.
I looked at his pleading face. “When were you going to tell me?” I asked. “Maybe if you told
me earlier I could get myself ready for meeting AJ.”
“I don’t know when I was going to tell you. I kind of wanted you to get to know the real me
before I told you. “ Brian said to me. “About the AJ thing, why does he make you so
mad?”
“Because he is always yelling at me or putting me down in some kind of way.”
“Well you didn’t have to yell at him in there.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. Brian was sticking up for AJ. “Why do you stick up for him?
What about me, do you care about me at all? He was saying some mean things to me, and
you never said anything.” I snapped.
“I wasn’t going to get into your fight.” Brian said raising the tone of his voice.
I looked down at the pavement so I wouldn’t have to look at Brian’s face. “Brian, he hurt my
feelings in there, that is why I yelled. If you can’t understand that, then you don’t understand
me. “I told him.
I looked up from the ground and stared strait into his face. “Brian, if you don’t understand
me, then maybe we shouldn’t be together.” The words shot out of my mouth. I couldn’t stop
myself from saying it.
Brian stared at me without saying anything. “I think I am going to take the bus home.” I told
him coldy, then turned around. I waited, but Brian never came after me.
I walked confinatly to the bus stop then sat on a bench and started crying. Then asked
myself. ‘Why could something so good end so fast?’
