“Katie, u must be stupid to run out here” I screamed, running toward Katie. I looked around and remembered that it was a private course, no loose golf balls would be flying at our heads.
“How could he do that?” Katie screamed at the top of her lungs.
“I don’t know” I mumbled. Katie leaned toward the grass and sat down.
“At the beginning, Nick was all I thought of, His body, his mind, the way he acted toward everything, I was totally head over heels for him” Katie explained.
“Katie listen…” I responded.
“LET ME FINISH” Katie yelled. “So, I decide, go down to Chicago, see the man I love, and guess what horny little Nick is doing, A FAN! He could have told me”
“Katie, let’s say Nick told you, I mean, he explained to you what he had done, would you react differently? If Brian did that, well, hell, I would totally break up with him” I replied. Katie looked down.
“See, That’s what I thought” I joked. Katie smiled at walked back toward the house. I heard yelling and when we got in back finally, I saw Andrea screaming at Holly. Everyone was inside, except for those two.
“What’s the matter?” Katie asked. Andrea pointed at Holly.
“That skank only wants AJ for his money, she told me” Andrea yelled. I looked at Holly.
“She started to yell at me, like, really loud” Holly replied. I knew Andrea, if someone tried to take what was hers, she got pissed.
“Stop lying’ Andrea” I exclaimed. Andrea’s jaw dropped.
“You don’t believe me? You believe her?” Andrea questioned. Katie put an arm around Holly.
“We believe you” Katie muttered. Andrea watched as we all went inside with Holly. She stood there, until her emotions took hold and she ran out toward the golf course crying.
~~~~~INSIDE~~~~~
“Do you think Holly bought it? Like we believe her!” I yelled, once Katie and I were inside.
“UM, I believe her” Katie mumbled.
“That’s good, I almost believed yea” I replied. Katie looked at me.
“Nicole, I believe Holly, she seems so nice” Katie exclaimed.
“Wha? She’s a bitch,” I yelled.
“She seems nice” Katie replied. I turned to see Holly in the doorway.
“Hey Holly” I exclaimed.
“I’m the Bitch?” Holly asked, walking out.
“Shit” Katie yelled.
“Shit is right” I replied. I walked out to see Blonde giving me the, you better get the hell out of the room ‘cause the guys are pissed look. I started to leave when AJ yelled at me.
“Nicole, where the hell do you think your going?” AJ asked.
“You’re not my father” I joked. Clearly, no one was amused, ‘cause they sat still. I felt as if, I was five being punished for breaking something.
“What?” I asked.
“Holly’s my girlfriend, How dare you call her a bitch” AJ exclaimed.
“Hey, you called me a slut” I pointed out.
“I was telling the truth, not like you” AJ replied, being an ass. Brian was about to yell at AJ, but caught his tongue.
“Do you have a problem with me being with Holly because your friend can’t get over me?” AJ questioned.
“No” I muttered.
“Then why did you call me a bitch?” Holly snapped.
“Because, if you weren’t, you wouldn’t rub it in Andrea’s face that your with AJ, If Andrea knew I liked AJ, she clearly would NEVER rub it in, you wrap your arms around his waist, you put your ass in his face, your just, well, a bitch” I exclaimed. Kevin stood up.
“OK, this isn’t helping” Kevin exclaimed. Brian stood up and walked toward me, I pushed him away.
“Holly, all I ask is you to leave Andrea alone, she loves something that she can’t have” I exclaimed, walking outside. Andrea was sitting outside and she wrapped her arms around me.
“Thanks, but, you have said something wrong” Andrea exclaimed.
“What that?” I laughed.
“I’ll get AJ” Andrea yelled. I laughed.
~~~~~NEXT MORNING ~~~~~
On my last possible night with Brian, I spent it making beds ready for Andrea and Katie. By the time I got to bed, Brian was sleeping and he looked so cute, I didn’t wake him up. The next morning at 5am Brian woke me up. I got up and looked at the clock. Brian dragged me out of bed, yelling at me, we had to go to church he insisted. I got dressed, put my hair in a sloppy bun, grabbed some OJ and a banana and jumped into the car. At 8am, we got out of church; I had used it to sleep anyway.
“We have two hours” I yawned.
“You probably want to sleep some more” Brian replied. I shook my head.
“No, but with only to hours, we can’t do much” I hinted. Brian smiled. I was getting ready for him to pull over to the side of the road, but he didn’t.
“I love you” Brian exclaimed.
“That, um, came out of nowhere” I responded.
“Your suppose to say it back” Brian joked. I leaned over and straddled him.
“I love you” I replied, kissing his neck. I was blocking his view as he drove.
“NICOLE, I can’t see” Brian screamed. I slowly unbuttoned his shirt as we made our way down the highway.
“Baby, not now” Brian yelled. I giggled. Brian pulled off onto a ramp and stopped at a rest area.
“We have, 1 Hour and 45 minutes before my plane leaves,” Brian exclaimed, throwing me in the back seat. I pulled his shirt toward me, making him come into the seat with me.
“Enough Time” I giggled. Brian smiled.
~~~~~AT THE AIRPORT~~~~~
“Where the hell is Brian?” AJ yelled. Their plane left in 15 minutes and NO sign of Brian. Katie was sleeping on a seat next to Andrea. Kevin, Blonde and Nick were eating the McDonald’s that they had bought, and Holly was slowly trying to get AJ to give her the keys to his car.
“She’s beautiful isn’t she?” Nick asked. Kevin looked up from his hash brown.
“Me?” Blonde asked.
“No, Katie” Nick replied.
“OH, Hey!” Blonde yelled. Nick smirked.
“You’re pretty too” Nick joked. Blonde gave Nick the finger and smiled as Nick gazed at Katie. Blonde bent over and stole some of his hash brown. Nick usually was VERY protective of his food.
“Yo Nicky, she just stole some of your food” AJ exclaimed, walking over by them. Nick didn’t care.
“OK, who drugged Nick’s food?” AJ yelled. People gave AJ weird looks as Blonde started to laugh hysterically. Brian came running into the airport with me running behind him. Brian’s shirt was sort of out of his pants, but he looked OK.
“Yo, B, we were worried ‘bout you, but it seems the slut was only giving you some loving” AJ joked. Brian shot AJ a glare.
“Would you stop calling her a slut?” Brian yelled.
“SHUT UP” An old women yelled. Katie woke up and smiled, she swung her arm over her head, hitting Andrea.
“Oops” Katie laughed. Andrea woke up and saw Holly, then closed her eyes again.
“2 MINUTES TIL’ FLIGHT 982 LEAVES FOR ENGLAND” The flight attendant yelled. I dropped Brian’s stuff on the floor and leaned over by him.
“I love you” I mumbled kissing him. We just stood there kissing until I felt Andrea’s hand on my back.
“LAST CALL” The flight attendant screamed. I closed my eyes as tears ran down my cheek. Brian wiped my eyes and then wiped his off too.
“Your crying, guys aren’t suppose to cry” I joked. Brian kissed me quickly before running away. Blonde was on the floor crying her eyes out as Kevin walked away. Katie just sat on the chair not talking or saying goodbye. Holly kissed AJ, only after he gave her the keys to his car. Andrea hugged AJ goodbye, then walked over to Katie. I kissed Nick.
“You take care of yourself, no more screwing the fans, I heard their easy over there” I joked.
“Yeah, you too” Nick joked. I hit him lightly on his arm as he ran toward the plane. I waved goodbye to Howie, who I hadn’t ever met yet and blew kissed to Kevin. Blonde got up off the floor and wiped her eyes.
“What are we going to do now?” Katie asked. I shrugged.
“I have class in 2 hours” I mumbled. Katie laughed at me.
“You have to go to school” She joked.
“At least I’m not a dumbass like you” I replied.
“HARSH” Andrea screamed. Blonde laughed.
“This is like old times” Blonde exclaimed.
“Except, where’s Angela?” I asked. Blonde shrugged and Andrea smiled sweetly.
“She lives with Justin in Tennessee,” Andrea exclaimed.
“Really? Wow, Why?” I questioned.
“Well, he got her pregnant” Andrea replied.
“OMG, No way!” Katie exclaimed.
“No one is suppose to know thou, It would hurt his rep” Andrea mumbled.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell” Holly exclaimed. Andrea glared at her.
“Got to go, I’ll be late for class,” I exclaimed. I ran out of the airport and ran to Brian’s BMW.
~~~~LATER THAT NIGHT~~~~
I walked in and dropped my books on the floor. I ran up to our(Brian’s and Mine) room, only to find it empty. Something in me wanted, no, told me he would be there. I fell on the waterbed and closed my eyes. I took off my clothes and threw them in the corner, then walked over to the closet and grabbed one of Brian’s shirts. I put it on and crawled under the covers. I shivered, not having Brian’s body next to me. I heard Andrea getting pissed while, Blonde and Katie laughed at *N SYNC’S new video, “Bye Bye Bye”. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
~~~~NEXT MORNING~~~~
“Hey, guys” I yawned. Blonde was attempting to make pancakes and so was Andrea. Katie was feeding Tyk and I slowly walked over to them.
“Want a pancake?” Blonde asked. I looked at the burnt pancakes and stuck my tounge out.
“I gotta go” I replied quickly. Blonde gave me the finger as I ran out the door. On the way to my class I grabbed McDonald’s, I didn’t want to be poisioned by food.
~~~~2 MONTHS LATER~~~~
I ran toward my car, knowing Brian would be home. I drove fast down the interstate when I remembered I had to pick up my exams. I took a U-turn and drove back toward the campus. I ran in to see a pregnant women at the counter.
“Can I have my grades?” I asked.
“Sure” She replied. I froze when I noticed her.
“Angela?” I asked. She looked up at me.
“Nicole? What the hell are you doing here?” She asked.
“Well, I’m going to school, I thought you lived with Justin,” I exclaimed. Angela looked down.
“DID, that’s past tense” Angela snapped. “Are you still with Brian?”
“Yeah, in fact, OMG, I lost track of time, he comes home today” I yelled. I hugged Angela. Brian asked me to pick him up. I drove to the airport to pick him up. I ran to the airport office.
“Excuse me, when down Flight 199 come in?” I asked.
“It came in 3 hours ago” She replied.
“And where were the people off that flight be?” I questioned. She pointed to the lounge as I took off toward it. I bumped into many people as I ran inside. I looked around to find no sign of Brian. I opened my purse to find my cell phone gone, and then I remembered I left it at home that day.
“Shit” I grumbled. I got back to my car and floored it toward the parking lot entranced. I got home at about 4pm. I opened the door and saw Nick sitting in the kitchen eating Pizza. I heard laughing and ran inside.
“BRIAN” I screamed, running toward him, falling into his arms. Brian’s arms wrapped around me.
“Where…………were…………you?” Brian asked in between kisses.
“I was getting my grades when I bumped into Angela” I exclaimed. Brian smiled.
“AHHHH, so your friend are more important then me now?” Brian asked.
“No, I drove to the airport and you already left” I mumbled. I let my head fall to his shoulder as he pulled my report card out of my hand.
“What did you get?” Katie asked.
“Don’t know haven’t seen it yet” I replied. Andrea, Katie, and Howie were sitting on stools in the kitchen while, AJ, Holly, Blonde, Nick, Kevin, Brian and I were standing by the kitchen table. Brian opened it up and shook his head.
“Straight F’s” AJ yelled. My jaw dropped as AJ told me.
“NO WAY, I tried” I yelled. Brian laughed.
“You’re so cute when your mad” Brian joked. I walked over and took it from his hands.
“I GOT A 3.948 GRADE POINT” I screamed. Brian laughed as I jumped up and kissed him. AJ hugged me.
“You’re a smart slut now” AJ joked.
“And your still the same old giggalo” I replied with a smirk.
~~~~LATER THAT NIGHT~~~~
Holly had to leave early, but Brian talked AJ into staying. Holly seemed pissed, but she left reluctantly. Katie and Nick sat on opposite sides of the room, trying not to check the other out. While Blonde and Kevin had, well, gone to play pool in the billiard room. Brian and I sat on the floor talking quietly and Andrea and AJ sat on a couch, trying to make small talk. I was thirsty so I got up, hearing footsteps behind me; I turned to see Andrea.
“This isn’t going well, I hate AJ” Andrea mumbled.
“We all know you want to get in his pants” I replied.
“No, well, OK, so what, you and Brian are waiting for us to leave so you can get it on” Andrea explained.
“No” I lied. Andrea put her hands on her waist.
“NO” I yelled again. Andrea laughed as Katie walked into the kitchen.
“So, get any yet?” Andrea asked Katie. Katie rolled her eyes.
“Does it look like it? Only Blonde has gotten anything tonight” Katie explained.
“What are you talking about? She’s playing pool…” I responded. At that instant, I got Katie’s meaning.
“OH, gross! We just got that newly finished,” I yelled. I smiled as Brian walked in.
“Got what finished?” Brian asked.
“Oh nothing” I replied. Brian kissed me and walked toward the refrigerator.
“WOW, you go shopping a lot don’t you” Brian joked, looking at the empty refrigerator.
“Yep, all the time” I replied.
“Hey Brian, can you help us?” Katie asked. Brian shrugged.
“Depends” Brian replied, finding an apple to eat.
“Well, um…Nicole, can you leave?” Andrea asked. I smirked and walked out.
“We have a plan…” Katie explained, as I walked out the door into the living room.
~~~~LIVING ROOM~~~~
Brian walked out of the kitchen with a smirk on his face. He sat next to me as Andrea and Katie took seats on a couch.
“Nick, could you help Katie, Tyk needs to take a shit, you know where we let him go” Brian instructed. Nick stood up and Katie gave Brian a big smile. Andrea leaned back and Brian looked at AJ.
“Let me guess, Can I go outside and get the golf balls off the course?” AJ asked.
“If you want to” Brian muttered. AJ smiled.
“With Andrea of course” I exclaimed. AJ smirked.
“We know what you two are going to do” AJ laughed. I smiled and licked Brian’s ear.
“SEE, we haven’t even left yet” AJ screamed, walking out. Brian kissed me and pressed me on the carpet.
“We have to make up for 2 months of being away from each other” Brian exclaimed. I laughed as Brian pulled off his shirt.
~~~~OUTSIDE~~~~
“Nick?” Katie asked in the dark.
“BOO” Nick yelled. Katie screamed her ass off.
“NICK YOU ASS” Katie yelled.
“What did I do?” Nick questioned. Katie rolled her eyes. The moon was the only light in the sky, but since they were under some palm trees, it didn’t help.
“Where’s Tyk?” Katie asked. Nick looked around. Tyk never was on a leash so, Nick was screwed.
“TYK” Katie screamed. Katie heard a rustling and opened the bushes to find Tyk playing with a golf ball.
“Found him” Katie screamed.
“I’m sorry” Nick blurted out.
“What?” Katie asked.
“Well, I have to start with, The day you asked me to confess, I didn’t, I’m sorry, then, I have to make a point: At the time we weren’t together, I didn’t see why you cared” Nick explained. Katie smiled.
“I don’t care anymore, really” Katie replied. “We have separate lives”
“OH, OK, I bet” Nick exclaimed.
“You bet what?” Katie asked. Nick leaned over as he pressed his lips onto hers. At first Katie pushed him away, but then she returned the kiss. Katie heard Tyk bark as they fell to the grass. Katie smiled as Tyk ran off into the distance.
~~~~GOLF CART~~~~
“AJ, bring your foot up, it could be cut off” Andrea yelled. AJ pulled his foot up, they were sitting on the golf cart, the kind that picks up the balls. AJ screamed as he brought his foot toward the opening where the balls go in.
“AJ” Andrea screamed. AJ laughed as he brought his foot up.
“YOU’RE A JERK” Andrea yelled. Andrea’s face was close to AJ’S. Andrea looked away as AJ brought his face onto hers.
“STOP” AJ screamed. TYK ran in front of the cart as Andrea slamed on the brakes. TYK ran past and Andrea screamed.
“STUPID DOG” AJ yelled. Andrea looked at AJ and smiled sweetly.
“Now where were we?” Andrea questioned. AJ ran his hand down her face, then slowly down to the clasp of her shirt.
“Right Here” AJ replied.
~~~~A COUPLE DAYS LATER~~~~
I woke up from my seat in my economics class. The professor was glaring at me.
“Nicole, Are you ready, or do you want us to take a break for you to sleep?” He asked.
“That’s OK” I mumbled. He smiled and started to talk, Like I really cared, It was boring. When class was over, my friend Emily from class stopped me.
“Nicole? What’s up? I mean, you’re sleeping like everyday,” Emily explained. I nodded.
“Yeah, Ever since Brian came back I’m tired” I exclaimed. Emily nodded.
“I see” Emily joked. I pushed her away.
“I got to go” I exclaimed.
“Why don’t we get some lunch or something” Emily questioned.
“Brian and I are going to the mall” I yelled. Emily smiled as I ran toward my car. I jumped into the car and closed the door when Emily banged on the window.
“What?” I asked.
“Did you ever notice that you give up your time for Brian, but Brian doesn’t seem to give up his for you?” Emily asked. I smiled at Emily as I drove away.
~~~~MEANWHILE~~~~
“Baby, what do you want to do?” Andrea asked AJ. AJ shrugged his shoulders.
“Don’t care” AJ muttered. Andrea moved over to his other side.
“How about I play with something?” Andrea hinted.
“Fine” AJ muttered. Andrea looked at AJ stunned.
“AJ, what’s your problem today?” Andrea asked.
“I’m not in the mood” AJ muttered. Andrea pushed him away and walked toward the door.
“Baby?” AJ asked. Andrea slammed the door as AJ took out some cigs. AJ stood up and walked toward Andrea.
“Honey?” AJ asked. Andrea fell on the ground crying.
“Get away from me” Andrea screamed. AJ looked down. His emotions flooded his vision. He had loved her forever. He couldn’t ever bring himself to say it.
“Andrea, I love you” AJ exclaimed.
“Shut the hell up your not funny” Andrea screamed. AJ wrapped his arms around her.
“I DO” AJ yelled. Andrea cried on AJ.
~~~~NICKS HOUSE~~~~
“Thanks for baby-sitting” Jane exclaimed. Katie smiled weakly.
“No problem Jane” Katie replied. Jane gave Katie the emergency numbers as Katie walked around the Carter family house.
“I’m BJ” BJ exclaimed. Katie smiled.
“Are you fucking my brother?” BJ asked. Katie gave her a look.
“Aren’t you like, only 17?” Katie questioned. BJ shrugged.
“So, I’ve been around” She mumbled. Angel and Aaron walked upstairs a few seconds later.
“Well, I gotta go” BJ mumbled. Katie watched as BJ walked away. Angel grabbed Katie’s hand leading her to play Barbie’s.
~~~~BRIAN’S HOUSE~~~~
I sat in the kitchen waiting for Brian. The door opened at like 6pm and Brian walked in.
“Sorry, I’m late” Brian mumbled. I stood up and glared at him.
“BRIAN, I WAITED 3 FUCKING HOURS” I screamed. Brian looked down.
“I’m sorry” he replied.
“Where were you?” I asked. Brian looked up.
“I stayed after with the guys” Brian replied.
“I sacrifice a lot for you Brian, you don’t seem to care,” I yelled.
“I do baby” Brian replied. Brian hugged me.
“You know what Brian, You can sleep on the couch” I hissed. Brian grabbed my arm.
“Nicole, What’s gotten into you?” Brian asked.
“What's gotten into me, You could have called” I hissed, pushing Brian off my arm.
~~~~NICK’S HOUSE~~~~
Katie tucked Angel into her bed and slowly walked down the stairs.
“Hey Baby” Nick exclaimed. Katie smiled and kissed him. He was about to talk when she brought a finger to his lips.
“Angel’s sleeping” Katie whispered. Nick picked her up and walked her up to his room.
“Nick” Katie yelled. Nick pressed her on the bed. Katie giggled as Nick pulled off her shirt. Nick threw the cover over himself as Katie sat on the bed. A few seconds later, Nick had his boxers in his hands.
“That’s cute” Katie joked. Nick took his boxers and snapped them like a rubber band across the room. Just then the door opened and Angel walked in, followed by BJ, then Jane.
“Katie?” Jane asked. Katie sat under the covers with Nick.
“Yeah Jane?” Katie questioned.
“I KNEW IT” BJ laughed. Jane walked over and grabbed Nick’s clothes throwing them on the bed.
“I’ll talk with you two downstairs” Jane yelled. BJ giggled. As Angel shrugged, going to find someone else to play Barbie’s with her.
~~~~BRIAN’S HOUSE~~~~
At about Midnight I got up to get a midnight snack. I walked downstairs to see Brian sleeping on the couch. I walked over and smiled, watching him sleep. Brian made a cute face as he snuggled into a ball. I knew I wouldn’t be able to be mad at him long as I smiled and crawled under Brian’s arm.
~~~~KEVIN’S HOUSE~~~~
“Kevy?” Blonde asked, walking into Kevin’s room. Kevin was watching some home video’s from when he was little. Blonde reconized Kevin’s father, Jerald, from the SMTMOBL video.
“I miss him so much” Kevin mumbled. Blonde walked over and hugged him.
“You’re the first guy I’ve ever seen cry” Blonde pointed out.
“That makes me feel better” Kevin responded. Kevin smiled, then frowned.
“I SAW YOU SMILE” Blonde screamed. Kevin smirked and Blonde shut of the video.
“How about, I make all that pain go away?” Blonde asked.
“And how are you planning to do that?” Kevin asked. Blonde grabbed a video from her bag and popped it in the VCR.
“Nicole gave this to me, it seems the security camera picked us up, while we were, well you know” Blonde blushed. Kevin looked at the TV to see him pick Blonde up and put her on the pool table at Brian’s house.
“Oh God” Kevin exclaimed. Blonde laughed slightly.
“I’d rather do it than watch it” Kevin commented.
“Me too, but I promised myself I’d keep my hands off you for one night” Blonde replied. Kevin leaned over and kissed her neck.
“OK, How about, Tomorrow, yeah, I’ll keep my hands off you tomorrow” Blonde laughed, laying on the bed.
~~~~AJ’S HOUSE~~~~
“Hello?” Andrea asked. Andrea heard Holly yell some bad words into the phone, then hang up.
“Who was it?” AJ asked, smoking his cigs. (Writers Note: I know, AJ DOESN’T SMOKE, well I have about 20 pictures of him smoking-I’ll e-mail you one If you don’t believe me)
“AJ, Do you mean what you said before?” Andrea asked.
“’course” AJ replied.
“Really?” Andrea asked.
“Do you love me?” AJ asked.
“Of ‘course you silly goose” Andrea replied, in her ditzy voice. AJ smiled and handed her a cigeratte.
“No thanks Baby, you can die of cancer” Andrea snapped. AJ gave her a look then put it out.
“I’ll quit than” AJ exclaimed.
“You can do AJ, Nicorette can help” Andrea joked, kissing her man.
~~~~KITCHEN, NICK’S HOUSE~~~~
“Mom, Listen, I’m sorry, Katie looked so Hot and…” Nick exclaimed.
“Don’t apoligize Nick, I was a young women once” Jane exclaimed. Katie blushed.
“I just want to make sure of some things, #1, are you guys using protection?” Jane asked. Nick looked at his mom, He had this talk with Brian numerous times, He never thought he’d have it with his mom.
“Yeah Mom” Nick replied.
“#2, NEVER do that stuff with the kids around, BJ has already too much experience for her age” Jane replied. Nick nodded.
“That’s It, your 20 now, I can’t baby you like I wish I could” Jane murmured. Nick shrugged and led Katie out of the Kitchen.
“That was easy” Katie mumbled. Nick smirked, now was the hard part, He had to talk to BJ.
~~~~BRIAN’S HOUSE~~~~
“Nicole?” Brian asked waking up.
“HMMMMM?” I asked.
“I thought you were mad at me” Brian exclaimed.
“Yeah, but you looked so cute” I joked. Brian leaned over and kissed me.
“I want to ask you something” Brian whispered. I grabbed his arm before he got up.
“We need to talk first” I replied. Brian stopped in his tracks and sat next to me.
“A relationship is when two people, who love each other, spend time together” I explained. “So far all we’ve done is spend time apart, and when we are together ALL we do is mess around”
“Which is bad why?” Brian joked.
“Brian, Don’t joke! I can’t handle you ALWAYS gone, I can’t handle those cold nights when I want you near me” I cried. Brian looked at me, locking his eyes with mine.
“So, what does this mean?” Brian asked. I tried not to cry on him.
“Good-Bye” I replied. Brian let go of me and walked upstairs, not saying a word. I fell back on the couch crying, knowing I had made a mistake.
~~~~THE NEXT MORNING~~~~
“Do you think so?” Emily asked me. I gazed off into space.
“What?” I asked.
“Have you listened to me at all?” Emily snapped.
“I broke up with Brian last night” I exclaimed.
“You did what?” Emily questioned.
“My school work was failing, I mean, you were right yesterday” I explained. Emily shook her head.
“Whatever” Emily mumbled.
“Do you have a man?” I asked Emily.
“Yeah, you know him, trust me, Nick Lachey, 98 Degrees” Emily replied.
“OH” I grumbled.
“Yesterday, I was really telling you how I felt, Nick is always gone and I must admit I get lonely” Emily explained. Suddenly, SMTMOBL came on the radio.
“Shit” I replied. We were sitting in an old diner, across the street from the campus. I looked up to see Angela working as a waitress.
“ANGELA?” I asked. Angela looked at me and smiled.
“Hey again” Angela laughed. I noticed her, um, NOT pregeant.
“When did you have the baby?” I asked.
“I didn’t, It was a still born” Angela muttered.
“Sorry” I replied.
“I guess it was for the best” Angela cried. Emily waved good-bye to us since she had to get to class. I turned off the radio and Angela and I started to talk.
~~~~NICK'S HOUSE~~~~
"BJ?" Nick asked, walking into her room.
"What?" BJ questioned. Katie walked into the room after Nick.
"I was wondering..." Nick started.
"If you could use my bed to fuck on? I don't think so" BJ snapped.
"That wasn't what I meant to say" Nick exclaimed. Katie had a little sister, so she decided to give her the sister talk.
"BJ, Do you,um, not like me?" Katie questioned. BJ shrugged. Katie motioned for NIck to leave the room, he smiled and walked out.
"You seem nice" BJ muttered.
"Then why are you acting so bitchy?" Katie joked. BJ smiled.
"I miss my brother, he's always gone, now he spends time with you, that means I get to see him even less" BJ exclaimed. Katie smirked.
"How about, tomorrow, Me, you and my friends do some shopping?" Katie asked.
"Yeah, then I can give you some taste" BJ joked.
"Don't push it" Katie laughed. BJ hugged her. Jane walked in a gave them a weird look.
"This is weird" Jane laughed. Katie smiled at Jane as she walked downstairs.
~~~~BRIAN'S HOUSE~~~~
I had to get my stuff, which meant I would need to go back to Brian's. I walked in and looked around. I would say most of the stuff was his, Mostly only my stuff was upstairs. I walked in and turned on the CD Player. Brian had bought the Celine Dion Decade of Song CD for me, so it was in the CD player. I played it as I slowly went through each thing. I grabbed all my clothes and threw them into a basket. I ran downstairs and 40 minutes later ran back up to hear "I want you to need me" by Celine. I walked over and started to clean off my dresser. Then I saw a picture of Brian and me on the nightstand. I walked over and picked it up. Celine's song rang into my ears and I smiled. "I wanna be the face you see when you close your eyes/I wanna be the touch you need every single night/I wanna be your fantasy/And be your reality/And everything between/I want you to need me/Like the air you breathe/I want you to feel me/In everything/I want you to see me/In your every dream/The way that I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you/I want you need me, need me, Like I need you/I wanna be the eyes that look deep into your soul/I wanna be the world to you I just want it all/I wanna be your deepest kiss/The answer to your every wish/And all I ever need/ I want you to need me/Like the air you breathe/I want you to feel me/In everything/I want you to see me/In your every dream/The way that I taste you, feel you,breathe you, need you, I want you to need me, need me/ 'Coz I need you more than you could know/And I need you to never let me go/And I need you be deep inside your heart/I just want to be everywhere you are/I wanna be the face you see when you close your eyes/I wanna be the touch you need every single night/I wanna be your fantasy/And be your reality/And everything between/I want you to need me/Like the air you breathe/I want you to feel me/In everything/I want you to see me/In every dream/I want you to need me, Like I need you"
I placed my head back and closed my eyes.
"I'm stupid,” I yelled, dropping my bag and running out the door.
~~~~KEVIN'S HOUSE~~~~
"Katie Called, You need to go shopping with her" Kevin exclaimed. Brian sat on Kevin's couch.
"Do you ever go home?" Blonde asked Brian.
"I'm afraid if I go home, Nicole will hate me more" Brian whimpered.
"Trust me, She won't" Blonde mumbled, grabbing her stuff to leave for Nick's.
~~~~NICK'S HOUSE~~~~
"Is Nicole Home?" Katie asked as Blonde walked into her house.
"Yeah, most likely" Blonde mumbled. Katie gave Brian's place a ring to hear Brian pick up.
"Is Nicole There?" Katie questioned. Brian looked around to see all my things in boxes.
"You could say she WAS here" Brian muttered, hanging up the phone. Katie shrugged as I ran into the door.
"Is Brian here?" I yelled.
"No" Blonde mumbled.
“Why would he be here?” Katie asked.
”Nicole broke up with him” Blonde exclaimed. I shot her a glance and sat on Katie’s couch.
”He’s at his place” Katie exclaimed.
”Where are you guys going today?” I questioned.
”Shopping with BJ and teach her the facts of life” Blonde replied. I laughed and stood up.
”I’ll be back” I exclaimed. In reality, I wouldn’t be back; I was going to Brian’s.
~~~~BRIAN’S~~~~
I ran up the stairs to hear “Unchained Melody” on the CD player. I slowly walked toward Brian’s bedroom. Brian was sitting on the bed stroking a picture of him and I. I walked in as Brian looked up.
”You’re right, I mean, If your not happy, Then I’m not happy, Which makes this a pretty fucked up relationship” Brian muttered. He stuck the picture into a bag that was sitting near the bed.
”Are you already to go?” Brian questioned.
”Yeah” I choked out.
”Good, See, In my next relationship, I can spend time with my girlfriend more, ya know, growth is what sucks for one relationship and helps a lot in others” Brian commented. “For your birthday I bought you something, If I bring it back to the dealer, I would feel bad about it, So, I won’t, Since it’ll remind me of you, You can have it”
”Huh?” I asked as Brian threw me a pair of keys. Brian led me downstairs where a Light Blue BMW Boxer sat. Under most circumstances I would be kissing him, but it was different so I just stood there.
“This isn’t what I expected Brian, I mean, We break up and you give me a 50,000 dollar car?” I asked. Brian shrugged as he ran inside to help me put my stuff in “my” car. I walked back in.
”Maybe this is a mistake Brian,” I yelled to him. Brian walked back down with things in his hands.
”No, I think you were right, I spend time with everyone but you” Brian insisted. My jaw dropped.
”Who broke up with who?” I asked. Brian smiled.
”Don’t choose the one you can live with, choose the one you can’t live without” Brian exclaimed, dropping the last of my things into the car.
”I couldn’t live without you” I mumbled. Brian smirked.
”Why suddenly this weird change of heart?” Brian asked. I walked close to him.
”It was just a stupid argument Brian, We are always off and on, c’mon, you know that” I exclaimed. Brian looked at me.
”There’s only one test” I suggested. I grabbed a handful of his and slowly, delibertately, pulled Brian forward. I touched my lips to his slowly, then more powerfully, wrapping my arms around his neck. I pulled away after a few seconds.
”See Nikky, I felt nothing” Brian exclaimed. Brian walked inside, closing the door. I got in my car.
”I felt something” I mumbled, pulling away. ~~~~MALL~~~~
”See Katie, that right there is a real man, not like my brother” BJ joked, pointing to a dark-haired man who stood in the corner of Abercrombie and Fitch.
”You don’t know Nick like I do” Katie exclaimed.
”If I knew Nick like you did, that would be nasty” BJ joked. Blonde was sucking on a sucker and standing in the corner looking at clothes.
”So, who do you like, there must be someone” Katie exclaimed.
”Brian” BJ muttered. Katie gave her a look.
”Littrell?” Katie questioned.
”Yeah, That little whore friend of yours broke his heart” BJ grumbled. Katie excused herself and walked by Blonde.
”Blonde, we have a problem, see, BJ likes Brian” Katie exclaimed.
”What’s your point? His girlfriend broke up with him” Blonde replied, looking through the racks of clothing.
”Nicole’s only his girlfriend now? She’s your friend” Katie exclaimed.
”Katie, let’s say we get together with Nicole and Brian’s there, it’ll be awkward, so, it was her choice, she isn’t my friend” Blonde replied. Katie looked around the store to see Andrea and AJ making out in the middle of a rack of clothes.
”OMG, is that AJ McLean?” Katie asked in a high voice. AJ stood up smiling, then he frowned. Katie laughed to herself.
”C’mon, I think we should all go to Nick’s, I have something to say” Katie exclaimed, grabbing BJ’s arm and leading her outside. ~~~~TAMPA~~~~
Brian lived in Orlando, I knew NO ONE here, except for Angela. I called her from my cell and told her I was coming. Angela lived in a little apartment, which smelled bad, something I had never had to live in.
”I know, it’s terrible, but it’s enough” Angela exclaimed.
”Its’s fine” I mumbled. I put down my white leather purse on Angela’s table. When I picked it up again it was dirty.
”OMG, I’m so sorry,” Angela cried. I smirked.
”I don’t care, I’m going to chuck all of this anyway, too many memories” I grumbled. In the months that followed, I didn’t talk to any one of my old friends. After a month with Angela, I moved up to New York City, far away from my past. I heard that who wants to be a VJ was going on at MTV, so I tried out, I lost of course, but met a really hot, guy named Matt. He was as smart as a brick, but I loved him anyway. Meanwhile, from being at MTV while trying out for the show, I heard Brian had hooked up with a woman, proposed to her on Christmas Eve, and was marrying her in September. I sent Brian a card, whether or not he received it, is beyond me. Justin was shopping one day, when he bumped into Angela, feeling terrible, he married her. AJ knocked up Andrea and was forced to marry her. 3 months later, Andrea filed for divorce and took him for all he had. Blonde and Kevin moved out to the woods, where Kevin had lived before becoming a BSB, Blonde got sick of all the fresh air and moved back to Orlando, last I heard they were still together. Nick and Katie had their problems, BJ hung out with the wrong crowd and ran away from home. Nick blamed Katie. They broke up, got back together, broke up, got back together, and broke up again. Most likely, they’ll be back together soon. And to think, this all started with one, little bet?
