Chapter 18

~*SAME NITE 8:15*~

All of us got split up because of all the commotion and different guest appearing. I was at the bar sipping some coke when I heard a little voice behind me. "Tessa?" Someone asked. I turned to see my best friend Regina with her hair up and in a blue spagetti straped dress.

"Regina" I cried "Hi, how have you been?"

"Good" Regina replied "Guess what"

"What?" I asked getting up

"I'm going out with Taylor Hanson" She smiled

"hahahahaha" I laughed "Did you meet him in Tulsa?"

"Yea" She replied

"Tessa" I heard Nick call. Regina and I walked over to him. "Of course you know NSYNC. Justin, Lance, JC, Joey, Chris. This is my girlfriend tessa Miller and..." He peered at Regina

"Regina" She told him shaking hands

Later I was talking to Justin and Lance. "I just wanna tell you that Everything I Own has helped me cope with my grandpa's and Jess's death"

"That's what we wanna hear from fans" Lance told me

"I mean to affect someone so much as we did with you is a great feeling"

"Thanks for taking the time to listen" I told them

Justin gave me a hug "Anytime"

"TESSA!!!" I heard my friends screamed. I turned to see Caitlin, Josephine, Kelly, Ashley and Katie.

"OMG!!!" Catlin screamed "Lance. Lance, I love Lance". Lance and Justin laughed. Well, katie and Caitlin stayed with Justin and Lance to talk. I took Josephine and Regina to meet Nick. Nick was talking to MTV.

"MTV is here?" Jo asked me fixing her long red silky dress

"I guess so" I replied. Just then, Carson daly came over to me.

"Hi Tessa" Carson said with that oh-so-hot smile

"Hi Carson, this is Jo and Regina"

"HH....hhhh...hi" Regina managed to splurge out

"Hi" Carson replied "Can we have a moment with you Tess? We need to ask you a few questions for MTV news 1515". I walked over to the camera while Jo and Regina talked to Nick

"SO Tessa" Carson started "How was this experiance effected your life?"

"Well" I replied loking at Cars "The boys have helped me getting through quite a few tradegies in my life, especially Howie. I know I will never forget this trip"

"What have you done on tour?" Cars asked

"Well" I started "I went Bungee jumping with AJ. I got my eyebrow pierced. I seen many new places like Toranto and San Fransico. I just hung around with the guys on the bus"

"One more question" Carson said "Have you grown close to the boys?"

"Yes" I replied "I mean they all are so nice and so much fun to be with. Brian, Nick and I love to play b-ball against eachother. I feel like we're like a family now"

"Thanks Tess" Carson replied shaking my hand. Regina went to talk to Cars as I went over with Nick and Jo.

"Hey hun" Nick said to me. I want you to meet Jenny.

"Hi" Jenny greeted me (BriBoyLvr9@aol.com contest winner) She won a contest to come to this party. She was tall with brown hair and brown eyes. She had bangs. She was wearing a long sky colored blue dress.

"Hi" I replied

"I can't believe you actully lived with the Backstreet boys" She told me

"Yup" i replied "It's true

"Wow:" she said amazed.

"How are ya enjoying yourself?" I asked her

"This is great!!!" She replied "I think I saw Steven Tyler"

"Really?" I asled

"Yea" She said

And where was Kris. Chatting with Mariah Carey. Mariah was wearing a cheeta printed tube top dress. They were chatting about her father being assistant production assistant to obne of Mariah's videos.

~*SAM NITE 10:15*~

"Excuse me" Donna yelled through the microphone on stage "Thank you. On behalf of the backstreet boys and I, I'd like to thank you all for coming. The BSB would also like to thank...." About 1/2 hour later, she was done.

I waved to Howie who was talking with Jennifer Love Hewitt

I went on a quest to find Anne. Hmmmm.....I went over to the piano where Anne was sitting next to Kevin

"I see" I started to lean against the piano "Don't say hi to family"

"I'm sorry" Anne replied . She was wearing a full lenght black and tan strappless dreess.

"Enjoying yourself" I asked eyeing Kevin

Anne turned back "Oh Yea!" Anne replied

"COme on ANne" Kev replied taking her hand "Let's dance"

"Of Course" Anne said. They made their way to the dance floor. They were on fire! They flew across the floor. They danced and looked so good together. Everyone crowded around them two. After theyw ere done, everyone clapped and cheered. They bowed and smiled. I finally met up with Kris at the dance floor with AJ

"hey you two" I shouted over the music

"Hi Tess" AJ replied 'I'm gonna take a break Kris" with that, he took a seat at the bar

I just started to dance with Kris. the music was pumping and it gave us unlimtied energy. After a while, Nickc cut in. He was a great dancer and stuff.

"Nick, Tessa" Brian called for us. We walked over to them. "Tessa I'd like you to meet Leighanne"

"Nice to meet you" Leighanne replied. She was wearing a white dress with white heels. She looked like an angel...for real!

"Yea" I replied shaking her hand "Likewise"

~*SAME NITE 12:34AM*~

The party was winding down. "Hey Nick" Joey said "We got to go"

"Yes" Chris seconed the motion "We have a photo shoot at 11"

"Ok" Nick replied and said good bye to all of the guys.

"Thanks again" I told justin giving him a hug

"Maybe we'll meet again" Justin replied handing me his screen name

"Bye" I shouted after them

"Well..." Nick started "Care to dance the last dance?" He held out his hand

"Yea" I replied as he escorted me towards the dance floor. Shania Twain's "From this moment on" was playing. Nick took my hand and we started to slow dance. I knew this was the absolute last time I'd dance with Nick. I wanted him to hold me in his arms and never let go. But unfortunetly, all good things come to an end and it was over. We walked hand in ahdn back upstairs.

He was sad and so was I. We got ready for bed and plopped in.

"I had a great time 2nite Nick" I told him

"So did I" he replied putting his arm around me. We feel asleep
