Jennifer woke up when someone knocked on the door. She opened not even bothering about how she looked. Which was like a total mess. She had dried mascara that had run down her cheeks, her hair looked like a bird-nest.
When she opened the door and saw who it was she slammed the door in the persons face cause she realized what she looked like. She ran into the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her hair and at the same time the person knocked on the door again and she just yelled that he should wait when she was a bit better looking she went and opened the door again.
"Hey ,AJ. Sorry for that."
"Um, yeah, sure hi."
"So what did you have in mind?"
"Well mum had left a note on my bed saying that you might need someone to talk to. And judging from what I saw a minute ago I think so too."
"I'm fine it's just that I'm through with Jim and that he only wants the girls for their bodies and he ain't at all like he used to and he wants Mandy and not me and he stood me up and he is going to help and to get Nick back and I hate him for that and he only makes Nick miserable if it happens and I'm so tired." Jennifer started to babble and she didn't know what she was saying she was just blurting everything, which came to mind, out.
"You wanna talk about it?"
"No, can't we just do something I need to get it out of my head?"
"Sure, whatever the lady wants!"
"Then I wanna go and have some ice-cream."
Jennifer got a bit better fixed up and then they left to have some ice-cream. Jennifer and AJ seemed to have a whole lot in common and they started to talk about the fans for some reason. Jennifer told AJ about her and Linda who really liked him for his crazy style and that Evelyn even had made a pair of baggies that he wear in the "I want it that way" video.
AJ laughed when he heard that. And when Jennifer told him that the brand of the baggies was AJ he started to laugh even more and said that he wanted to se those pants. Jennifer told him that the girl was coming down the next day and that she was going to call her and tell her to bring the pants if he wanted her to. And of course he did. He even gave her his cell-phone so she could call right away and ask.
Jennifer dialed the number and hit the button to call.
At Evelyn and Linda's place they were watching MTV and didn't hear the phone but their cousin Jonas did. It was always Evelyn who answered. She was always waiting for a phonecall from a certain person called Brian Thomas Littrell. So Jennifer expected Evelyn to answer. But this time it wasn't, Jonas picked it up. He answered with:
"Torkelsson"
"Um, sorry but I think I have got the wrong number...." Jennifer said feeling a bit stupid and then she hung up. Then she hit her forehead and cried out:
"Shit I fell for it again!!!"
"Fell for what?"
"Well their cousin answered and he always fools me when I call by saying some other name, so I believe I've reached the wrong house. And I apologize and try to call again."
"Oh…and you always fall for this." AJ asked on the verge of laughter.
"Well yeah.." She answered feeling kinda stupid.
"You have to call again you know…"
"I know…but I feel so stupid! Can you help me with my revenge?"
"Sure I can."
"Ok, call the number again and say who you are and say that you want to talk to Evelyn, and don't forget to say that you are from the Backstreet boys. And then you can ask her about the pants yourself."
"Sure babe" He dialed the number and waited for the answer.
"Jonas"
"Yeah hi, this AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys, may I speak with Evelyn please?"
"Ha ha ha, som om att jag skulle tro på det där…ge luren till Jennifer. ( Swedish for: Like I would believe that, now give the phone to Jennifer.)"
"HUH?! Sorry don't speak Swedish."
"Ja ja ja du pratar väl inte svenska då…får jag prata med Jennifer nu? (= Yeah yeah, you don't speak Swedish, give me Jennifer now.)"
"Huh? Is Evelyn there?" AJ said and then Jonas said something in Swedish and AJ gave up.
"Here take the phone, I can't understand a single word of what the guy is saying." Jennifer took the phone and started to speak Swedish.
"Hey Jonas, don't you speak English?" Jennifer said almost laughing.
"No…you fell for it again girl!! but I would never in a thousand years believe that that was Backstreet boy AJ."
"But it was! Can I talk to Evelyn now?"
"Yeah, I guess…wait a sec." Jennifer could hear him call for Evelyn on the other side of the line.
"It's for you, some guy called AJ from the Backstreet Boys called."
"Yeah right."
"Here's Jennifer."
"Hey girl!"
"Oh, hi Ev! I have something to ask you, no wait he can ask you himself." She gave the phone to AJ.
" 'lo?"
"Hallå?"
"Hey, Evelyn? What is hallå?"
"Sorry...is this AJ? Evelyn said with a lot of insecurity in her voice.
"Yeah the one and only!!" he cried out.
"Oh my God, wait a sec. LINDA IT'S AJ ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!" AJ heard his name and cracked up.
"Hey girl, still there, still alive, didn't faint??" He asked.
"Oh yeah...no I didn't"
"You got me deaf there!!"
"Sorry"
"I heard that you had made a pair of baggies that was the same as mine. Could you bring them when you come tomorrow?"
"What? Are you serious? Sure I can. "
"Oh God, are you in Stockholm too? I thought it was only Nick."
"As a matter of fact, the whole gang is here, Kevin, Howie and Brian too."
"Oh, God! I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Yeah tomorrow"
"Bye.... c ya!" She hung up quicker than she had hung up a phone in her life then she cried out:
"I'M GOING TO MEET THE BACKSTREET BOYS!!!!!! I've gotta tell someone…who am I gonna call?" She picked the phone up and dialed a number.
AJ hung up and then he told Jennifer about the whole thing and she said that that was so much like Evelyn. She also told him about all the crazy stuff that she used to do.
"You know, one time when I was in her room reading, she took her wallet out and then she started to smell it. I was like, 'What is she up to now?' Well she looked so stupid and I cracked up and asked her what she was doing all she did was to show me a pic. of Brian holding his shirt up so you could see his stomach. I was like 'You've totally lost it girl!!' but then I started to think I knew that she went to stores and checked out what kind of perfumes you guys used, every time they wrote something new in the magazines. Anyway I asked if I could borrow her wallet and I smelled it and I was right. It smelled exactly like gravity."
AJ thought that was very funny and he started to laugh.
"If you think that's funny you should have seen her when she was in a fashion show. She wanted to be as crazy as you so she colored her hair blue and got spikes. The only problem is that the people who had put this in her hair used a very big amount of wax and this wax stayed in for several weeks. They tried everything to get it out. But it just wasn't happening then they called the hair stylist and asked what they should do. They told them to wash the hair with washing-up liquid, that didn't work so she had to look like a freak for a period of time."
"You can't be serious!"
"Oh, yeah I am. And do you know what? Sometimes I wish I was more like her and you."
"Why?"
"Well you see, you guys seem to have so much fun and you don't seem to be scared of anything and you're so crazy, and I love crazy people, I just wish I was more crazy!"
"Well I think you're crazy enough."
"D'you wanna hear more things that she does?"
"Hell yeah!!"
"Well one time she exclaimed that Brian waved to her from one of her posters. And you still can hear her say that Brian waved to her from a poster. She always talks to the TV or radio or what ever she is watching or listening to, when you guys are on. When you say thank you in a show she says, you're welcome and stuff like that. And when you're asking a question she answers. I like her she's very cute. And all the stuff I'm telling you right now makes her sound like a real loony. But she ain't she's just a girl who goes after her dreams instead of just dreaming like I do. She's really nice, don't get scared now." When Jennifer told him this he listened with real enthusiasm. And you could see his face turn form all cracked up to serious.
"I love to hear stories about fans" He told Jennifer who looked at her watch.
"Oh, shit! I'd better get back to the hotel, my mum is going to call in like ten minutes." They had finished their ice-cream ages ago and they got up and went back to the hotel.
