"It feels so good to get off that bus," Anisa said. 'And even better to get away from Brian'
"Don't worry you'll get used to it," Brian said smiling. It looked as if he was depressed.
"Talk to him he is miserable" Nick said whispering in Anisa's ear.
"Hey Brian how is your leg today?" Anisa asked trying to sound as if she were being forced to talk to him even though she really was concerned.
"It hurts like heck. I hope it's better by tonight though," he replied knowing she didn't want to talk to him.
"Hey guys I got a plan to get those to at least be friends and maybe something more. I'll fill you in on it later," A.J. said whispering to the rest of the guys while Anisa and Brian were having their conversation.
They walked in silence in to the venue.
"Hey Brian, are you okay?" Howie asked trying to put the plan into effect.
"Not really man I feel like shit." He replied
"Why don't you go lay down in ht entertainment room and rest?" Kevin said sounding concerned even though he wasn't.
"Okay guys but please don't let Anisa know. I can take care of myself" Brian said before walking on to thew buss and into the entertainment room.
"Hey Anisa wanna watch a movie with me and AJ?" Nick asked hoping she would say yes.
"Sure oh and Nick you would say A.J. and I because … well because it's proper grammar" Anisa said smiling slyly.
"Yes mother" Nick replied.
"So what movie are we going to watch, boys?" Anisa asked.
"Why don't you go into the entertainment room and pick one out? I have to show Nick something I got form a fan real quick." A.J. said innocently.
"Why do I have a feeling you are up to something?" Anisa said with a gut feeling that something was wrong.
"I swear we aren't up to anything. No go get your cute little butt on the bus and pick out a good movie. Not some stupid chick flick for us to watch" Nick said turning red because he didn't mean to tell her she had a cute butt.
"Do you really think I have a cute butt Nicky?" Anisa said flirtatiously.
"I do, now GO" A.J. said trying to move her along.
So Anisa ran onto the bus and back into the entertainment room. She turned around to look for the videos and saw Brian lying on the couch asleep. 'We better not watch a movie in here tonight' Anisa thought to herself.
She turned around to walk out of the room when BANG!!! The door to the entertainment room slammed shut and locked from the outside. I screamed at the sound of the noise and woke Brian up. I ran to the door and tried to open it indeed it was locked.
"Guys this isn't funny! Let us out!!!" Anisa said ready to cry.
"Have fun tonight you two." A.J. said laughing before getting off the bus.
Anisa walked to the nearest couch and sat down. Then pulled her knees up to her chest and Just sat there and cried. Brian sat on the opposite couch and just stared at the wall.
Soon he noticed that she had fallen asleep so he took the blanket and spread it over and watched her sleep until he too fell asleep.
“Do you think the plan worked?” Nick asked AJ as the walked back to the bus later that night.
“I’m not sure. It sure does look quiet.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
“Nick, you scare me sometimes.” AJ said with the shake of his head. They climbed onto the bus and walked to the back room. AJ took the key that he had borrowed from the driver out of his pocket and unlocked the door. The two Backstreet Boys walked into the room to find the TV on mute and both Brian and Anisa sound asleep on the two couches. “Well, it’s not exactly how I had planned it, but at least they didn’t kill each other.” AJ whispered.
“Yeah, no kidding.”
“Come on, lets go, before they wake up.” Nick agreed and the acomplices went back the way they came, this time leaving the door to the entertainment area unlocked. Once they were off the bus theymade their way back to the hotel.
“So, do you think that they will ever be friends again?” Nick asked, once they were on the elevator.
“I’m not sure. Brian did screw up pretty good.”
“Yeah, but she still cares about him. She’s just pissed because he didn’t keep in touch with her, and he didn’t say goodbye.”
“Kaos, you have to admit that if your best friend did that to you, you’d be pretty pissed off about it too.”
“Bone, my best friend did do that, he just did it to someone else. What I don’t get is that she’s not mad at Kevin, and he didn’t keep in touch with her or tell Brian to call her or anything like that. I know that they weren’t as close as she and Brian were, but he still could have made the effort.”
“All I have to say is that she’s a woman and I will never understand the way that they think. The only thing that I can say is that Brian is the one who is at fault, as far as I can see. And you’ll probably save yourself a huge head ache if you just forget about trying to figure out why she’s pissed at Brian and not at Kevin.”
