Chapter Three: If That's What It Takes (E-mail Em for her wonderful chapter! hehe. It's roksbabygirl@aol.com)
" Your my light in the dark, your the place I call home, you can say its all right but I can see your breaking up inside, I can see it in your eyes..."
Emily was too incited by a thought that had just begun to trail through her brain to notice Lissa's dismay. The thought was of a kiss with Mr. Brian Littrell. She had to admit she was attracted to the pop star. But Em wasn't exactly a boy crazy girl and hardly considered attraction something to base an entire relationship on. Amers was too into Brian herself to notice that Em seemed to be checking out her options, or as Amy liked to think of things, HER man. "Sorry guys, we'll be leaving soon." Cate announced, "I'm just going to call the others to come, now you girls be ready in a hour." Cate directed. The girls all nodded and trudged upstairs to get mall worthy outfits on. Em was the first down since she didn't really care too much and just threw on an outfit. "Cate, I wanted to met Kirstie and Amber today." She reminded. "DUH!" She said and pretended to hit herself in the forehead. Nick came over to see why she did that. He was obsessed with Cate, not in a scary way or anything he had just never met anyone like her and loved to be around her. She made him melt in an instant and made him laugh in a second but most of all she made him complete. Cate loved Nick and although they hadn't said the words she didn't feel like they needed to be said. It was unspoken bond that would last forever or so they hoped. "Em, I haven't known you too long but if your driving my girl crazy I'll have to take care of you outside." Nick said in a fake threatening tone. They laughed and Cate wrapped her arms around her boyfriend. "It's okay Em, I won't let him hurt you, I'll invite Kirst and Amber shopping too, I'm sure they would love to meet you." Cate reassured the now nervous Em. "Can we stay here for awhile babe?" Nick asked Cate, she nodded and he smiled. He had a plan, (EN: Scary, huh?) he would get the guys to all help and they would make the girls dinner, well most of the girls. There were some he wouldn't like Kirstie and Amber, both of which were his ex-girlfriends, they still got along but still; then there was Heather, Stephania, Kat, etc. He enjoyed the company of his girl's buddies but he wanted a romantic evening alone and figured he should keep it as remote as possible. The guys all agreed to stay after the girls left in three different vehicles after everyone arrived.
~*Vehicle One*~ Occupants: Amber, Kirstie, Kat, and Lissa "Well, I wonder who this girl Emily is...if Cate tells me right she is a friend of yours." Kirstie asked Lissa. Lissa nodded meekly. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Amber asked. "AJ will never be mine." She commented sadly. They all were at a loss for words but Kat being the closest to her hugged her. "It's all right babe I know how you feel, Nick will never be mine, at least not with Cate around." Kat shared. "Nick! Kat likes Nick!?!" Yelled Amber in shock, she shared a glance with Kirstie. "You know he isn't all he is cracked up to be." Kirstie shared. Amber nodded in agreement. "I can't help it, he should be mine!" Exclaimed Kat in anger. She loved Cate too death but her "love" for Nick was not dying down and lately she had been way more aggressive. "Trust me, Nick wasn't as much fun as I originally thought. He never wants to go out. He likes to stay home and play video games all day and never..." Amber started "EVER accepts responsibility for his actions." Kirstie finished. "Will you two stop slamming Nick he has matured a lot in the last 2 years." Kat objected. Kirstie and Amber both shrugged they were only trying to help. It didn't take a genius to notice that Kat may try anything sooner or later to get with Nick, even if that meant hurting her friends. She didn't want to hurt anybody, she just wanted Nick to see they were meant to be.
~*Vehicle 2*~ Occupants: Amy, Cate, Courtney, and Stephania "UGH!!!" Amy exclaimed loudly. Cate turned to her distraught friend. "What's wrong babe?" She asked worried. "Brian looked at her, didn't you see it???" She asked getting frustrated. Cate was glad she was the one driving. "who?" Courtney asked confused. Everyone in this vehicle already knew of Amy's crush on Bri. "Emily." She said in a sigh of disgust. "Really?" asked Cate surprised. She was sad for Amy but the prospect of Em and Bri getting together seemed kind of cute to her too, she didn't dare say that though and felt torn between her friends. "It's okay, I'm sure once you get around to telling Brian you like him, he'll want to be more than friends too." Stephania reassured her. Amy didn't buy it. Steph was just trying to be optimistic and nice. She knew what it felt like though. She had a crush on Howie, Courtney's beau and always felt inferior and shy because of the fact she didn't have him although she never put up a fight for him. They all pretended to be uplifted by her last remark though and did what was commonly referred to as keeping to yourself with their problems.
~*Vehicle 3*~ occupants: Megs, Em, Lea, and Heather " So, Lea this is my friend EM, Em this my cousin Lea, who is also dating Kevin." Meg said introducing them. Heather silently cursed Lea, she was obsessed with Mr. Richardson and wanted to be with him more than most of the teenyboppers she had met. But she kept the peace because it was obviously better that way but so many times she wanted to just run up and kiss him. "I Have a confession to make..." Megs started gaining the full attention of those in the car., " I think I am falling for Bone." She shared. They all laughed. She looked at them questioningly. "Dear, that was obvious." Em explained. "Well, what about you Miss. I am going to look at Brian all day."Megs shot back smiling. All of the girls giggled at that including Em. "So? He is cute, I like to look at nice looking things. Is that a crime?" she defended. " I guess not, considering I got to shower with a nice looking thing, I guess you can look at one." Megs said dramatically. The girls all smiled. They headed to the mall pysched.
