Chapter 10

~*10/18 7:38*~

The BSB and the crew decided to take the day off before their concert later that night. We were going to go to Six Flags Marine World here in San Fransisco. It was a beautiful day. It was about 63 an a clear sky. Howie was taking a shower. Krista and I were changing. I decided to wear my Mudd jeans and a blue baby tee with my skecher's boots. I wore my hair in 2 braids. Krista wore jean capri pants and a red baby tee. All of the other BSB members were eating. Krista and I walked toward the boys.

"Mornin' everyone" I said in my usual chipper voice. I walked over to Nick and gave him a sweet kiss.

"Hey girl" he said returning the kiss.

"How do you feel Kris?" AJ asked as he kissed her good morning.

"OK" she replied sitting next to Howie and Kevin. Kevin told me the day before he couldn't wait to see Anne at the party in a few weeks. I was going to invite her.

"But" Brian said finishing his orange juice "At least we'll get on all the rides first, right kris?" He asked jokingly

"Yea" Kris said cheerfully as AJ held her hand

It was 9:40 when we left to go to the park. There was 3 vans taking us. One for the BSB and us girls. One for the stage managers and producers. One for the security (well DUH! Of course there's gonna be fans thereeven though it's a Monday). It was so beautiful there. There was a long line to get in but as the good people we are, we waited. I noticed a little girl with her family, no older than 12 eyeing the BSB (kind of like she wasn't sure if it was them or not). But then she noticed AJ's wild hair and funky clothes. She walked over to us.

"Excuse me" She said politley. AJ and Brian turned their attention to her "Are you guys the Backstreet Boys?" SHe asked. She wiped her brown hair away from her emerald green eyes

"Why yes we are" Brian replied to her

She seemed very excited but didn't freak out or anything. "Hi, I'm Dana. I really love your guys' music. Can you guys take a picture with me?" SHe asked

"Of course" AJ replied letting Krista's hand go. They stood in back of the girl while her father took a picture.

"Thank you so much" Dana said shaking their hands

"It's our pleasure" Brian replied with his cute smile. By that time, we got to the front of the line. Donna got the tickets and gave them to us.

"Now" She said fixing her flare pants "We will meet..." She looked over the map of the park "At the hot dog stand over by Thunder Road at 1PM OK?" She asked us.

"Sounds good" Nick replied holding me close

"Let's Par-tay!!" Brian yelled racing all of us to the 1st ride. We decided to go on Batman the ride first. We all got to cut because of Krista's leg. The people straped us in. "This is gonna be great" Kev and Howie said

"Yea" I replied looking back at them. Nick held my hand tightly. "Are you nervous?" i asked as he loosened his grip.

"I'm just so excited....I love rollercoasters" He told me. It started to roll.

"Here we go" AJ yelled to everyone. It shot up at like 70 miles per hour. There was a whole lot of twist and turns and loops.

When we got off, AJ picked Krista up out of her wheelchair and spun her around. "That was so much fun" AJ said.

~*SAME DAY 1:03 PM*~

We all met at the Hot Dog Place. Howie went to order us some food.

"Hi" The red-head cashier welcomed Howie

'Hi" Howie replied with his oh-so-hot smile "We'll have 7 of your #3's, 3 of your #2's and 5 of your #1's"

The cashier knew it was Howie from the BSB. She whispered to another worker that it was him. She punched in all that stuff. "That will come to....$49.85". Howie handed her the cash. "Oh yea" SHe added "Your Las Vegas show was great"

"Well thank you" Howie replied "I'm glad you enjoyed it". The girl was blusing. We all started to chow down. Brian was fooling around with his french fries and throwing them at us.

"Hey!" I replied throwing a fry at him. It was a great lunch. We all chatted. For once in my life I felt like I belonged. I always felt like an outcast because I didn't dress as "cool" or didn't hang with "cool" people lke other kids did. I love my life. I have wonderful friends. Kevin and AJ were talking about "The Scarlet Pimpernickle". He said it was a really good show.

Security and the management escorted us out of there at 5. As we made a bend around the corner, we see 200 girls standing there by the bus. Security crowded aound us as we made our way to the bus. The boys signed some autographs on the way there. A few girls grabbed at Nick and he fell hard to the ground. I helpedhim up and we ran onto the bus. These girls were chanting "Backstreet Boys, Backstreet Boys". After we took off, the girls started chasing the bus.

"OWWW" Nick cried. The girls pushed him to the ground and he got a nasty cut on his knee.

"Oh Poor Nick" I said simpathetically as I went to get a bandade. He sat at the table. I came out with some peroxide and a bandade.

"is that that stingy stuff? he asked me cringing "I hate that"

"Oh don't be such a baby" I eplied fixing him up. He moaned a little when i put it on. I blew on it to make it feel better. Then our eyes met. He leaned in for a kiss. We kissed. OH MAN WAS IT GOOD?!?!?! He was a great kisser. He stroke his hands through my brown hair as I rubbed his neck. Then we heard the handel of the den door jiggle but we didn't want to stop. It was Krista. She was going to get herself some soda.

"AH-HA!!!" Krista shouted as us. We stopped and looked at her puzzleldly "I knew you two were going out. I caught you red handed"

Nick and I just smiled at her. It was true, neither of us could deny it. We were boyfriend and girlfriend.

~*SAME NIGHT 11:54PM*~

Since Nick and I were an 'item", we stayed up for a while in the dan just getting to know each other. I sat on his lap as we talked on the couch.

"Well" I said facing him "I went to BHS in Babylon. I go to FSU and I'm majoring in Child Psycology"

"Sounds like your future is planned out" he replied rubbing my leg

"Well" My voice trailed off "I'm kind of starting a singing carrer. I've played for clubs, parties, nothing fancy...I'm going to be auditioning for a few labels soon"

"Really?" Nick asked inquizzlitivly

"Yea" I told him as I got up and streached

He rubbed his chin "Interesting"

"I've written a few songs" I told him giving him my 1st song "I wrote this one when I was in the hospital with Jess"

He read it over "Tess, this is a great song" he told me

"Well Thank you" I said giving him a kiss

Well it was a great day. I got to know the boys alot better. Now that Nick and I are an item, We have to lean to trust each other. I really hope we can stay friends if we (GOD FORBID!!!) ever broke up. I don't know how a long distance reationship will work, but we'll see. Remember, Follow your heart and you'll never go wrong. Till next time, G'Nite
