Chapter 14

~*10/31 6:13 PM*~

We are in Ottowa. Krista and I were going to go to a local club for their Halloween party. They boys have a show so they couldn't come but they were going to stop by after. Krista and I were getting our costumes together. I was a french maid. the costume had black stockings, a short black dress with an apron and a hair thingie. I wore my black pumps. I put my hair in a sloppy bun. Krista was a Gypsy. It was a dark purple dress with white and black sleeves. It ties up in the front. Krista put her hat on as I walked through to get the keys.

"Hey Tess" Nick said "Why don't you get me a glass of soda"

I turned to him. "I'm not YOUR maid" I said sarcastically.

"Ready?" Krista asked putting on her shoes

"Ya" I told her. I turned to Nick and kissed him on the lips lightly. Nick held on me so I couldn't go.

I finally pushed away (even though it was very enjoyable). "Nick" i gasped "I have to go"

"Yrea" Nick said as he lead me to the van along with Krista. She got an aircast last week to use so she can move a little. We both gave our men kisses and left.

"Where is this place?" Krista asked finishing her make-up

"it's in town" I told her "The Blue Diamond I think it's called"

"Cool" Krista replied.

We got there about 8. The party was untill 2 so the boys will have plenty of time to get here. It was a 2 floor brick building. There was a bit of a line but we waited. The motto was 18 to party, 21 to drink. I.D. REQUIRED!!! We got up to the entrance at 8:25. There was a red carpet leading in to the club. There was a big, burly black man checking I.D's He checked ours with extream caution b/c were out of the country. But he smiled and said "Ladies?" We were let in. It was a beautiful club. There were all sorts of decorations and lights and streamers.

The night was going great. We were dancing and having a blast. Later that night, I noticed Krista was talkimng to a man (ooooo). He was quite tall with blond hair and green eyes. He was dressed as Batman. I came over and joined the conversation.

"Hi" I said "I'm Tessa"

"Hi" He said "I'm Todd and these are my friends John and Charlie". They waved. I went back to the floor to dance while Kris was talking with him.

"Where are you from?" He asked her

"NY" Kris replied "We're on a road trip"

"That's cool" He said "SO ya gotta boyfriend"

"Yea" She told him taking a bite of a cookie

"That's too bad" He said getting closer. He brushed his hands across her breast (that perv!) "I really like you" He pulled her close

"TODD!" She yelled "What are you..." He covered her mouth. He started to drag her out of the club. It was so crowded, no one noticed her screaming, not even me. Just then AJ walked in the door and saw that Krista was being dragged away.

"HEY" AJ yelled making his way over to him "Get your hands off her!" AJ pushed him off of Krista.

"Yo man. Chill" he said like he wasn't doing anything wrong "I was just keeping her warm for you"

"Get the fuck out of here" he said as he punched him. A right hook can go a long way. His friends pulled him out of the club.

"AJ" Krista yelled as she collasped into his arms. She started to cry.

"It's ok baby" he comforted her.

"OH MY GOD! Kris!" I yelled pushing through the crowd "I am so sorry. I should have been with you" I gave her a hug.

"It's oh Tess" she replied "It was no one's fault. That guy was sick"

The rest of the BSB made their way in. They saw Kris all battered up.

"What happened?" Kevin asked me

"Ummm....she was almost...." I lowered my voice "taken away by some sicko"

All the boys were angry. "I can't believe it" Brian said. He gave Kris a hug "Are you OK?" he asked her

"Yea" She said pulling up her sleeve "I'm fine"

"Maybe we should go" Nick said grabbing my hand like he was defending me

"Yea" Howie agreed "Let's go". I looked over to Krista. he expression on her face is still in my mind to this day. She looked shattered, like her mother died or something. Her hair was all tasseled. Her face wet with tears. We all got into the bus. AJ and Krista went into the den to talk. I just sat there next to Nick. I put my head down. "It's all my fault Nick" I told him taking my hair down "I should have been with her. I'm such an idiot!"

"Shhhh" Nick whispeered "It wasn't your fault. That guy was wack! Krista isn't mad at you"

"Then why do I feel so.......guilty" I asked him. He gave me a conforting kiss.

"It's OK to feel guilty. You weren't there. Odviousily, that guy is sick, especially if she told him she had a boyfriend"

"But even if she didn't have a b/f, that doesn't make it right" I declared

~*IN THE DEN*~

Krista was sill crying. AJ just sat there, holding her. "Oh Kris" AJ said taking off his sunglasses "I'm so sorry I didn't get there sooner"

She stopped crying. "Don't blame yourself AJ" She replied getting up "It was my fault. I've shouldn't have been so friendly with that guy"

"But I feel so angry and upset" He replied "It wasn't like you were coming on to him or anything were you?"

She looked at him meaningly "Of course not" She replied walking over to him. "AJ" she continued "You are the only one for me". He gave her a kiss that made her feel much better. She thought "I'm so happy I have such an understanding boyfriend".

I was so scared! How could I have been so stupid to let Krista be alone with some guy she didn't even know? Krista's my best friend. I don't know what I've would of done if he had....abducted her. I should have been with her. But that was in the past. I just have to be more careful in the future. Till next time, keep your head high and look for guys. Peace Out Chicas n Fellas!!!
