We walked in and all sat down. We were all looking through the menu trying to decide what to get. Except AJ, he was just sitting there.
"AJ?" Shelly said looking at AJ with concerned eyes, "Are you getting anything?"
AJ looked around and then finally said, "No, I'm not hungry."
Shelly looked at Kevin and gave him a look saying 'something's not right.' Kevin just ignored this look.
Our waiter came and we all ordered, all of us ordering something, except for AJ of course.
"So," Brian said, "Are you guys enjoying yourselves?" He was directing his question towards Shelly and me.
I looked at him, and said "Very much so." I smiled and looked into his baby blue eyes.
Shelly looked to Brian and said, "Yes I am, your cousin's a real sweetheart."
Kevin blushed as Shelly said this and then said, "Thanks, you are too babe."
Within minutes our food arrived. We all ate dinner and went back to the hotel. Brian and Kevin asked Shelly and me to stay over night, and of course we agreed totally. We all went to bed since we were really tired.
The next morning about 6 AM Howie was knocking on everyone's door saying "Time to get up you guys!"
"Howie?" I said with a groggy voice, "What time is it?"
"6 AM!" Howie said his voice bright and cheerful.
"Gosh...it's early!" I said sitting up to see the sun rising, "Wow, that's beautiful."
Brian than sat up and said "What's beautiful baby?"
I was surprised to hear Brian's voice, I turned and looked at him and said "The sunrise."
"Oh I know." Brian said smiling.
"Well, we're meeting down stairs in 10 minutes, be there or be square!" Howie said sounding official.
~*~*~ Kevin and Shelly ~*~*~
"I love you Kev." Shelly said looking into Kevin's twinkling green eyes.
"I love you too baby." Kevin said grinning.
Shelly and Kevin had been up for about an hour, so when Howie stopped by, he was very surprised to find them awake. He told them their plans, and told them to meet downstairs.
~*~*~*~10 Minutes Later ~*~*~*~
"Where are we going to eat?" Nick said sounding very hungry.
"McDonalds as always" Howie said.
We all left and loaded into the vans and went to McDonalds.
Well, Shelly thought to herself, we're going to McDonalds, if AJ doesn't eat, I'm going to talk to Kevin.
"How long?" Kevin asked the driver of the van.
"About 5 minutes" the driver said pulling away.
As estimated, we arrived there in 5 minutes.
"Facts are facts." Brian said getting out of the van talking to the driver, "You said 5 minutes and it's been 5 minutes and 35 seconds!"
"Brian you're a nut." The driver replied.
We all walked in and began to order. AJ and Shelly hadn't ordered yet.
"Go ahead AJ." Shelly said trying to figure out if he was going to eat.
"No, I'm not hungry." AJ said walking away to sit down.
Shelly sighed and then ordered her food.
We all sat down and at our food, while AJ just sat and looked out the window.
"Kevin, I need to talk to you." Shelly said standing up.
"Okay." Kevin said standing up and walking outside. Shelly followed.
"Yes baby?" Kevin said as soon as they were outside.
"Kevin, something's wrong with AJ, he isn't eating anything." Shelly said very worried.
"I guess he hasn't. I don't know." Kevin said thinking.
"Maybe he's anorexic!" Shelly said.
"No, guys don't get like that." Kevin said totally opposing Shelly's idea.
"No, yes they do. I studied that in school. I bet that's what it is. Go tell AJ to come out here. You can stay if you want." Shelly said sounding very official.
"Okay." Kevin walked back in and sat down and AJ walked out.
"Yea?" AJ said in his normal raspy voice.
"Why aren't you eating?" Shelly asked.
"I don't need to." AJ said quietly.
"Why not?" Shelly asked.
"I don't, I mean look at me!" AJ said annoyed.
"AJ! You're perfect. Nothing is wrong with you! Millions of girls are in love with you, and you're going to hurt yourself doing this!" Shelly said sounding like his mother.
"I'm perfect?" AJ said sounding as if he had never heard that before.
"Well," Shelly laughed, "Except for that 69 on your stomach, yes!"
AJ laughed, "That's a personal opinion girl! Thanks so much Shelly!" AJ then hugged Shelly.
Shelly and AJ walked back inside explained everything, and everyone decided to leave. Before we left AJ decided to get something to eat.
We all loaded back in the vans and headed back to the hotel. When we got there Kevin's ex-girlfriend Liz was in the Lobby waiting for Kevin and the guys.
