.Chapter.Sixteen.

Both Mickey and Brian were able to lose Nancy and gang very easily. Mickey told them that she was going to take Jo home and then she would go back to AJ's. Brian suggested that he take Jo and Mickey take AJ. It only made sense, he said, cause all of us were going to AJ's anyhow. Everyone said good night and planned to meet the next day. Mickey asked AJ if it would be alright if she took the truck out again. She and Jenn weren't tired and she knew AJ and Laura would be going to bed. She had to call Frankie first though.

"Yeah sure, I don't mind."

"Thank you Alex." Mickey said.

"No problem. I think I can really say that I trust you with my baby."

"Wow, I'm honoured."

"Yeah well don't let it get to your head."

"Oh don't worry." She continued joking.

"See ya guys tomorrow." AJ said when they got back to the house. "And Mickey, don't get lost when you go back out ok?"

"Yeah well I'll bring Jo's number just in case."

"Good idea."

"Why don't we just call AJ?" Jenn asked. Mickey, AJ and Laura all looked at her. "Oops, sorry, blond moment for a second. Phew, thank heavens I don't have too many of them huh?"

"Yeah, well you still get them enough." Laura giggled.

"Ha Ha. Good thing Brian wasn't here."

"Why?" Inquired AJ.

"Oh, they're competing for the smart ass award." Mickey informed him.

"Oh really, well Jenn, you have tough competition."

"There is no award. We just pick on each other, like you two do."

"They've been pretty good lately." Laura observed.

"Well Alex looks like we have to smarten up."

"Yes Mickey, I do believe you're right." AJ said in a mocking tone. Laura just shook her head.

"See you two tomorrow." She said as her and AJ headed up to his room.

"Do you think they're going to have sex all night long?" Jenn asked Mickey.

"Probably not Jenn. He does have a tv and other things up there. God it's like a whole apartment in his bedroom."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"No matter how much a guy brags, they can't go all night. Plus it's not too comforatble for the girl either." She said as she dialed Frankie's number.

"Yeah?" Frankie answered.

"Hey babe."

"Where the hell are you!?"

"Didn't you get my message?"

"You're seriously with the Backstreet Boys? Come on Mick."

"Seriously Frankie."

"Sweet. Hey wait a minute! Five guys, I don't like this. I know what guys think. Have any of them tried to make a move on you?"

"Frankie man." She laughed. "I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. But nobody is putting the moves on me."

"Alright then. Let me talk to one of them."

"Frankie! You can't anyhow, nobody's around."

"Where is everyone?"

"Well everyone is at their house and we're all at AJ's."

"Where's AJ?"

"Upstairs with Laura."

"What?!"

"She's ok."

"Alright, but if any of them touch you."

"Oh shut up. So what's new?"

"Nothing, same ol shit. Matt's been worried about you."

"Oh piss on Matthew. Is he still with Jill?"

"No he got fed up with her real quick. She's gonna get beat soon anyhow."

"Damn! I'm going to miss it. Oh well. I'm having more fun."

"So what are you doing?"

"Nothing right now. I just got back from playing pool. I think me and Jenn are going to go out driving for a bit."

"Cool, you're Blazer's not there is it?"

"Naw. AJ's letting me drive his truck. It's a Dodge Dakota. It's so wicked and you should see the stereo!"

"Sweet. Well I'm glad you're having fun. Come home someime though. I miss you!"

"Yeah sure you do. So how's Mel?"

"Argh."

"Ok, I won't go there."

"No. She's just mad at me for some reason. Women!"

"Yeah, well we're like this because of men."

"Whatever girl."

"Well I should let you go. I'll let you know what's going on and stuff, like we're I'm going and when I'll be back."

"Ok then. You better. Love ya."

"Love you too." She said before she hung up.

"So what's new with Frankie?" Jenn asked.

"Oh you know Frankie, getting anything out of him is tough. Let's go out." Mickey said and got up to head for the door.

"Alrighty! Let's go look for guys. Florida must have some pretty hot ones. They all come out at night right?"

"Personally I like to see guys in the day time. Their sexy tans and stuff."

"So, where are we going?"

"I have no idea. We'll just drive and remember which way we came. I'll call Jo and see what she's doing."

"Ok, sure then."

"Hello?" Jo answered.

"Hey Jo, what's up?"

"Talking to Brian on the other line."

"Oh, well I'll let you go then. But don't be surprised if you get another call from me. Me and Jenn are just driving around."

"Alright then. You can stop by if you want to."

"Ok, we might. That is, if I can find your house again."

"Talk to ya later."

"Alright. Say hi to Brian for us."

"Ok, we'll do."

"Well, she's talking to Brian right now." Mickey told Jenn.

"Oh really? Well well. I wonder what's going on there?"

"I'm sure we'll find out. Either from Jo or Brian."

"Yeah well maybe you'll find out from Brian but I won't."

"HeeHee. This is getting exciting."

"Yeah but not for us."

"Thanks for reminding me."

"No problem!"

"So where to? Jo said we could stop by later. I don't want to go right yet though. I'll give her some time with Brian so that we can get more gossip!"

"Mickey, you're bad."

"Yeah I know! Or at least I try anyhow. Since you've reminded me that all the exciting stuff is happening with other people we at least should get the excitment of hearing about it!"

"True true."

"Oh hell, let's just go to Jo's."

"Ok."

Suprisingly enough Mickey was able to find Jo's house with no problem. Jenn was impressed too. Jo was still talking to Brian when they got there. Mickey and Jenn offered to wait in the living room and watch tv while she was on the phone. Mickey was flicking through the channels and saw a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game. She was very happy, she had forgotten that they were playing Tampa tonight. Jenn didn't care about watching hockey, she liked looking at the guys. They stayed in the living room for a while before Jo came in.

"Hey sorry about that. I didn't want to let him go." She said with a smile.

"It's ok. So what's going on with you two anyhow? I always seem to be missing things lately."

"Nothing's going on. He just asked for my number and told me that most of his friends are on vacation and he didn't want to call ay of the guys cause he talks to them all the time."

"Nice pick up line, I must remember it."

"It's not a pick up line. Anyhow we just talked about normal stuff. He's so funny."

"Yeah he can be can't he?"

"Oh my gosh. It wasn't even like I was talking to Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys."

"That's the cool thing about them."

"Yeah. So what's happening anyhow?" Asked Jenn getting a little bored.

"We should be heading back to AJ's. Do you want to come Jo?"

"Would it be ok?"

"Yeah, Mickey seems to have them all wrapped around her finger somehow."

"Excuse me? How do you figure? Anyways, I'm sure it's ok. Grab your stuff and let's go."

"Ok."

Jo got her stuff and they all headed back to AJ's. Jo couldn't believe his house. She had seen it before but never knew it was his house. It always stuck out to her cause it was big and pink. All was quiet when they entered the house. It was after midnight but the three girls weren't tired yet. They went into the kitchen to raid the cupboards. After getting popcorn and juice they went back into the livingroom. They must of fallen asleep because the next thing they knew they were all being awaken by someone pounding on the locked, front door. Mickey groggily got up to answer it. It was Brian and he looked pretty shaken up.

"Mickey we gotta talk!"

"What's wrong Bri? What is it?"

"I was just talking to Nick, he's coming up today..."

"And you couldn't wait till I woke up to tell me?"

"No, Mickey, listen. He got back together with Mandy."
