Chapter 5
The Next Day(At The Concert)...
"You guys we're in the front!"
Wendy said jumping up
and down.
"I can see Wendy I'm not blind,"
I said as we
got up to the front.
"How did you get these Leslie?"
Wendy
asked as we sat down.
"I got them from my boss, she said she
couldn't go
so I got them from her," Leslie said.
Leslie worked
at a bar, she was a waitress.
Her boss was about as old as Brian was, so
she loved this kind of stuff.
"Oh look the show is starting!"
Wendy said
jumping up.
The show started with LFO, then *N Sync,
then...Backstreet
Boys!
"Look, it's the guys!" Wendy screamed over
the crowd.
Leslie sat down; I sat down next to her.
"Come on Les, I know
you like him, give it all ya got
babe! Show him your halter-top!
Guys love
those things!" I said pulling her back up.
They came out and danced
a bit when A.J. noticed us.
He was singing as he waved at us.
He
pointed to us. Brian looked at Leslie and waved.
He came over to us and yelled,
"Having fun you guys?"
Leslie nodded as we screamed. Brian
brushed
his hand across her cheek and
jumped back up for his song.
Leslie smiled,
I knew she was happy.
Nick walked over to us; he winked at me and waved.
I waved back as he sang.
They sang, "Everybody," "ALAYLM,"
and "INBYH." It was awesome!
I also had a feeling Nick had
a crush on me,
either it was me or the girl behind me.
Brian walked over
to us and pulled Leslie up.
He pulled us up there as well.
He held
onto Leslie as we danced on stage.
Nick with me and Wendy with A.J.
That
was so much fun!
Leslie was actually dancing too!
And a little freak
dancing too.
When they were done they took us backstage.
"I
didn't know you guys were going
to be here!" Wendy said as we sat down next
to them.
"We didn't know you were going to
be here either,"
Nick said looking at me.
Brian and Leslie were in their own corner talking
and
laughing. I could tell Leslie was lighting up
and was able to talk to
him.
"Hey Leslie! Did you know they
were going to be here?"
Wendy asked.
"No, why would you ask me?" Leslie said.
"Cause
you had the tickets!" Wendy said as
she looked at Leslie.
"No,
it didn't say on the tickets Wendy,
okay?" Leslie said giving her attitude.
Brian and I laughed.
Brian and Leslie's Conversation...
"So
what did you come down
here for?" Brian asked looking at me.
"For
college, and to see Ashley," I said as I
looked out the window.
"You
and Ashley are best friends?" Brian asked.
"Yeah, she was my next
door neighbor since
I was born." I said, it was so nice outside.
And
I couldn't help but look outside
cause I was too nervous to look at Brian.
"Oh.
Well Kevin and I are cousins so we are
like best friends too," Brian said
looking at me.
I think Ashley was right, they love
halter-tops. He couldn't
take his eyes off me.
"Really? Now that I think about it
you and
Kevin look kind of alike."
"No we don't you liar," Brian said
as we laughed.
He stopped laughing and said, "Come with me, I want
to
show you something." He took me out to another
room connected to the one
we were just in.
"This is me when I was little, this was Kevin.
We've
never looked the same!" Brian said as he
handed me the pictures.
"You
carry these everywhere?" I asked
handing them back to him.
"In
our wallets," Brian said setting them down.
We said down on the couch in
the room
and talked for a little while. "You
don't act 17," Brian
said.
"You don't act 23," I told him.
"Ouch, that
hurt," Brian said grabbing his heart.
"Just cause I'm 17 doesn't
mean I'm not
mature. I am, I really am," I said defending myself.
"Okay
okay! Gosh. I'm sorry," he said taking my
hands. "Not many 17 year
olds are a
beautiful as you are either," he said kissing my hands.
"No
I'm not," I said looking down at my hands
nervously.
"Yes you
are, I wouldn't lie to you.
You're very beautiful," he said. He lifted my
head up to his.
I kissed him lightly at first.
Then harder as
he got on me and our tongues
came together, which I didn't really mind.
Then
he stopped!
"I can't do this with you," he said as he got up.
"What?"
I said a little shocked.
"You're 17 Leslie! I'm 23, 6 year difference,
not to
mention you're a minor and what I'm doing is
illegal..." he said
as his voice trailed off.
"Fine, you're right, I'm too young, I'm too
immature,
I'm too stupid, I'm too beautiful as you
say," I said as I
started to cry.
"I, Le..." he started to talk but I wouldn't let
him.
"You led me on like that to tell me I'm too beautiful
and too
smart, and too sweet. I should
have known you were lying." I said tears
flowing
out of my eyes.
Brian tried to talk to me but I ran to the other
door with Ashley and Wendy.
