“everyone get up” Kevin yelled jumping
out of bed and grabbing a baseball bat from the floor. He was thankfull at
times like this that Nick and Brian were so messy. Gina was the first to crawl
out of her bunk.
“what Kev” she yawned
“shhhh” he said as AJ Laura
walked out from the tv room, Howie got out of his bunk, Nick walked back with
Shelby Jennah cam out of the bathroom and Greg walked back from the drivers
seat. Brian helped Melissa out of her bunk.
“what” eveyone was asking.
“I just got a phone call, it was
him” he whispered “he says hes on the bus” all of a sudden Gina and
Jennah started screaming. Gina ran over to Nick and he ‘protected’ her. Jennah
hid behind Kevin.
“shhhh girls, we have to find
him” Howie said Kevin went first and he swung open one of the closets.
“theres no one in this closet”
Kevin said to the others.
“but whats that” Nick asked
looking over Kevins shoulders.
“its…” he looked at the thing
more closely. “A BOMB”
“oh shit what do we do” Brian
asked
“well we have 10 seconde to get
the fuck outta here” Kevin yelled pushing everyone twards the front of the bus.
AJ fumbled with the inside door lock and pushed it open. They all spilled out
and ran in oppisite directions away from the stalled bus.
Looking back, they all watched
from a safe distance as their bus blew up into a firey mess in the middle of no
where.
“oh my god” Melissa whispered
while laying on the ground next to Brian.
“I don’t belive this” Brian said
overly frusterated.
Once the flames settled so they
were a little more controlled eveyone came out into the middle of the road away
from the still burning bus.
“what do we do” Laura asked
“we call for help” Shelby said
taking her cell phone from the purse she hadn't taken off since she got on the
bus. She made a few calls and then hung up.
“so…” AJ asked
“the police are coming, and they
said to wait here together” she reported
“ok” everyone agreed, they walked
over to the side of the road where there was a grassy area. They all laid down
and thought.
“Nick” Gina asked looking over
at him.
“yeah” he asked looking back at
her.
“your anniversary gift was on
the bus”
“well I've got yours in my
pocket” he smiled, “so come here and I'll give it to you” he pulled her up and
away from the others a little. They sat down and he got something from his
pocket. “im glad I had thesse in my pocket” he said
“Nick I feel bad because your
present was on the bus” she whined
“don’t Gina” he smiled a little.
“I got something for both of us” he grabbed her hand and slipped a ring on her
finger. She looked up at him with wide eyes.
“is this a…” she started
“no” he laughed “it’s a promise
ring, it promises us to eachother”
“Nick that’s so sweet” she
smiled “I love it”
“and I have one” he said holding
it up.
“let me put it on you” she said
taking it from him and slipping it on his finger. “their beautiful” she looked
at the simple silver rings with the word ‘love’ engeaved across the top wit
dimonds surrounding it.
“yeah” he felt really guilty
sitting there promising himself to his one and only love, while just 10 minutes
before he was making out with some blonde chick.
“I love you Nick” Gina whispered
“I love you too sweetheart” he
said kissing her softly and giving her a hug.
She laid down and put her head on his lap. A minute later she was asleep
and Shelby walked over.
“hi” she smiled sitting down
next to him.
“hi” he said not making eye
contact.
“look Nick” she sighed, “I have
a confession to make”
“what” he asked
“I-im not really your manager”
“you arent” he asked she shook
her head, “than who are you”
“im some obsessed fan” she
sighed again “I saw your manager, I tied him up and put him in a closet. Then I
came and pretended to be your new manager. I really didn’t want to start any
trouble either”
“are you serious” he asked she
didn’t say or do anything, just sat there staring at the remaning pieces of the
burning bus. “that’s actually kind of funny”
“I'll leave once we get to
wherever were going, just do me a favor and don’t tell the other guys”
“hey don’t worry about it” he
said “you don’t have to leave, I just don’t think I can like do stuff with you
anymore” he said looking down at Gina and kissing her lightly while she slept.
Gina opened her eyes and then
quickly closed them so she could listen to Nick and shelbys converstaion.
“but I promise I wont tell her”
Shelby said
“I know you wont” he sighed “but
I cant cheat on her, I mean I love her too much. It hurts me knowing that im
not being faithfull to her”
“your such a baby Nick, your no
fun” she pouted
“listen Shelby” he said sternly
“I cant do anything else with you. Ginas the first girl I've ever loved and I
wont let you ruin it for me” he said as the police drove up.
“Shelby” Kevin yelled she got up
and stormed off.
“Nick” Gina said quietly
“Gina” he asked wondering how
long she’d been listening. “hi”
“hi” she sat up and gave him a
kiss. “that was sweet, I know I should be mad at you for making out with her
but you saved yourslef”
“how did you know” he asked
“because, when I kissed you
before you tasted like her”
“im sorry” he said putting his
arms around her and giving her a hug.
“its alright” she said kissing
his forehead.
Brian
and Melissa were still sitting around on the grass waiting for someone to tell
them what to do.
“Brian” Melissa asked playing
with some of his curly hair.
“yeah” he asked looking up at
her.
“what do you think about kids” she
asked
“kids, what do you mean” he
asked
“I mean do you see yourself as a
father in the future”
“sure” he smiled “I want some
kids, a beautiful wife, a little white picket fence, and lil tyk” he laughed
and then his faced dropped. “lil tyk was on the bus”
AJ
and Laura were planning another joke on their friends.
“AJ that’s so evil” she giggled
“I know, that’s what will make
it sooo good” AJ laughed
“so tell me again what were
going to do”
“ok…” he told her the plan and
then they stood up.
“im ready lets go” she smiled AJ
put his hands around her neck and pretended to choke her. “nooo AJ noooo” she
wailed “stop”
“die bitch” he said diving on
top of her and pretending to strangle her some more.
Kevin
Howie Shelby and Jennah were talking to the cops trying to explain what had
been happening.
“ajjjjj” they heard Laura
scream. They looked over and saw AJ pinning Laura on the ground.
“boys come on” one of the
officers said, they all ran off twards the couple and so didn’t Kevin Howie Jennah
and Shelby.
“AJ get off her” Jennah yelled
“freeze” the officers yelled
pointing their guns at him.
“woah” AJ said holding up his
hands, “it was a joke”
“yeah” Laura agreed standing up
and brushing herself off.
“figures” Kevin said throwing
his hands in the air and walking away in frusteration. One of the officers
approached AJ with his flashlight out and shining it in his eyes.
“I don’t know, your eyes look a
little red, have you been drinking” he asked
“well officer your eyes look a
little glazed, have you been eating dounuts” AJ joked Laura slapped is arm.
“AJ don’t say that to a cop” she
laughed
“sorry” he smiled “im sorry
officers, it was just a lame joke”
“you better watch it boy”
another said while they walked away.
“AJ that was awful” Jennah said
“especially because the cops were here”
“all well” he laughed
Brian
was walking around looking for his dog. Melissa was also helping as much as
ashe could with a broken ankle.
“tyk” he called “where are you
buddy”
“Brian theres no way he could
have survived this” Kevin said, he had come over to help along with Nick and
Gina.
“don’t say that Kev” he replied
“tyk has to be alive he has to be”
“TYK” eveyone yelled
“come here boy” Brian yelled
they heard a little yelp and turned around. “tyk” Brians face lit up at the
sight of his pup.
“awww look hes back” Nick
laughed
“that’s a shame” Gina added “im
just kidding”
“I thought you were a gonner
tyk” Brian laughed picking up his little dog. The police walked over and stood
around. Howie Jennah AJ and Laura joined them.
“well” one started “were going
to give you kids a ride to the hotel in town in that there” he pointed to a van
type police vehicle. “and the investagation will continue. For now we recommend
you lay low and keep the press at a minimum or else whoever it is will know
where you are. Our chief talked to your record label and their going to tighten
your security. Please give dectetive Miller a call if you have any questions.
Have a nice day”
“thanks” they replied they got
in the van and someone drove them to the hotel.
“those police werent doing a
very good job, they didn’t even ask us questions” Laura said
“that’s the LAPD for you” the
driver laughed “I've been working with them for a while. You should get out of
town and hope something elses happens so your case will be handed over to the
next city”
“lets just hope its over” Howie
sighed.
Two
days later after nothing had happened they decided to resume touring again.
they were in kentucky, Brian and Kevins homestate. They were all staying with
one of their families. Nick Gina AJ Laura and Melissa with Brian and his
family. Howie Meg who had flown back out after her father got a little better
and Jennah were stayint with Kev and his family. Melissas parents also lived in
the area and were having dinner with everyone. Kevins family and everoyne else
had come to Brians parents and they were all having a cook out outback, it was
march but a really nice day.
“hi Brian” Melissas mom smiled
when he walked up to them.
“hello” he smiled
“Brian how are things with you
and my daughter” her father asked.
“very well” he said grinning, “I
actaully came to talk to you about that, I was wondering if it would be alright
for me to ask Melissa to marry me”
“oh Brian, that’s so sweet” he
mom smiled “you asked our premission”
“of course, we would love to
have you as a son” her dad said with a smile.
“thank you” Brian said smiling.
“your welcome” they replied
Brian gave them hugs and then walked away to find Melissa.
Gina
and Nick were walking around the Littrells large house just getting away from
everything.
“Nick” Gina asked looking over
at him.
“hmmm” he looked over at meet
her gaze. “whats up”
“I was thinking” she said
twirling her ring around on her finger.
“bout what” he asked putting his
arms around her and resting his chin on her head.
“us” she said quietly, he pulled
away and looked at her.
“what about us” he asked
“do you see us together a long
time from now” she asked
he smiled, “yeah a long long
time from now”
“good” she sighed
“why whats up” he asked “you
seem upset”
“I kinda am” she said
“well why” he asked after a long
silence.
“because…im pregnant”
Laura
and AJ were sitting together at a picnic table laughing at Howie. They were
laughing their asses off but Howie didn’t seem to notice.
“hes such a monkey” AJ laughed
they had no idea why they were laughing at him, they guessed it was just the
way he was talking to Kevins mom, but maybe it was him in general.
“were so mean to him” Laura
laughed “Howies such a nice guy but no one likes him because he looks gay”
(*AN: just to let you all know, I have nothing against Howie or gay people.
This is for the story and what is about to happen has a reason*)
“we tried to tell him to cut his
hair but he thinks it looks good lond” AJ shrugged
“I guess theres nothing we can
do about it” she let her laughter die out and looked at AJ seriously. “do you
love me AJ” she asked
“of course I love you Laura” he
said “why wouldn’t I”
“well because, we always play
jokes on people and make fun of people together. But were never really together
together except when were kissing. We never go on dates of just be a sick
little couple in love”
“Laura I didn’t know you felt
like that” he said “im sorry”
“no im not unhappy, I just want
us to start acting more like a couple than best friends”
“will do Laur” he smiled giving
her a sweet kiss.
Brian
walked over to Melissa and called everyone over to them.
“what up Brian” Kevin asked
“I have something to say to
everyone” he smirked
“whats that”
“im in love” he said sweetly
“with who” Melissa asked
standing up and leaning on the table for support.
“sit down Missy” he laughed
“with you of course, and now I want to do this right” he got down on one knee
and held out a black velvet box with a sparkling dimond ring inside of it.
“Melissa, will you please make me the happiest man in the whole world, and be
my wife” he asked
she didn’t have enough time to
get any words out. Gunshots started coming from behind them and everyone ran
for cover.
