"I just found out that the video will go on tv in 2 week's." She smiled.

"Ohh that's cool, I'll tell Abby tonight." Brian stated.

"Ohh well how you know she'll call you?" Kevin asked jokingly.

"Well if she doesn't call me I'll call her." Brian laughed.

"Ohh you got this all planed out do ya?" Kevin teased.

"Yes Sir." Brian said a matter-of-factly.

"Hey Abby my parent's need me too tell them who I wanna live with tonight." Gwen suddenly said.

"Man I saw this coming."

"Abby I'm gonna go live with my mom." She said softly.

"Gwen...that's soo far away."

"I know but I have to go. I don't really have a choice in the matter."

"Yeah...I guess your right."

"Abby were leaving on Monday."

"Gwen that's soo close."

"I know but we'll keep in touch." Gwen promised.

"And I get to go to two backstreet concert's."

"Yeah that's what I said." Gwen smiled. Abby was gonna miss that smile

"Hey you think Brian's home?" Abby asked.

"Maybe. You can try." Gwen shrugged

Abby nodded. "Ok."

Just as Abby went to pick up the phone she got a call.

Both girls laughed.

"Hello?"

"Hi. Is Abby there?"

"Who want's to know?" She laughed.

"Hi Abby." Brian smiled.

"Hi Brian."

"So how are you?" Brian asked.

"I'm fine Brian, what about you?"

"Well I'm great, I cant wait 'til Monday." He commented.

"Really? I can....."

"Well were leaving for the tour." Brian said.

"Ohh that's cool." Abby smiled.

"Yeah. I'm happy about it. But why don't you want Monday to come?" Brian asked.

"Hold on"

"Gwen can you go get my new YM meg?" Abby questioned.

"Yeah sure." She agreed and left the room.

"Ok I'm back."

"Good, I was beginning to miss you." Brian joked. "So what about Monday?" He added.

"Well Gwen's going to live in California."

"Ohh wow really?"

"In 2 week's your gonna be able to see the video."

"Oh cool!!" Abby smiled.

"Yeah I know I thought you would like that."

"So did you ever find the note I left on your pillow?" Abby asked.

"Umm Yeah but I didn't open it yet"

"Well why not?" Abby laughed.

"Well I wanted to wait I little bit...."

"Ohh well after we get of the phone go open it"

"Ok, I'll do that."

"Ohh yeah Brian do you have any boxer's with happy face's on them?" Abby asked.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Cuz I just washed them!" Abby laughed.

Brian also laughed. "Ohh well why do you have them?" He teased.

"As-If I would know!"

"Well you can send them to me or keep them." Brian smiled.

"Well Ok. I'll keep them!"

"I don't even wanna know!" Brian said with a laugh. "Well I better go AJ's bugging me to use the phone." Brian added.

"Ok and I gotta go put my stuff in the dryer."

"Ok then I guess I'll talk to you really soon."

"Ok bye Brian."

"Wait!! Have you talked to Darren?" Brian asked protectivly.

"No." ABby replied just above a whisper.

"Ok good. Well Bye Abby.

"Bye..."

~*~

With-in no time Brian was heading to bed. He went and sat on his bed and picked up the note from Abby. The front read: Brian Only. He slowly opened the letter. And It read: BRIAN YOUR A REAL CUTIE. Brian smiled and began to read the little letter's down bottom. "Brian go look by your CD player." It said.

Brian walked over to it and looked around. Then he looked at the little arrow to turn te paper over.

"Brian I love the way you listen to me. I say go over to the cd player and you do it. =)

Brian smiled to him self and set on the letter by his bed.

"I gotta get her back!" he thought out loud.

"Hey Brian who you talking to?" AJ asked.

"Ohh hey AJ just thinking out loud." Brian sighed.

"Ohh well who you gonna get back?"

"Abby. She, ahh. Left me a note."

"Ohh can I see it?" AJ laughed.

"Yeah it's right there."

AJ read the letter and started to laugh. "Brian did you go over to the CD player?" AJ laughed.

"Yeah I did." Brian blushed.

"Man she's making you crazy."

"No she's not." Brian insisted.

"Ohh yeah? Then why do you talk about her all the time?" AJ challenged.

"I don't know. Just cuz were friend's."

" Yeah but I think you got it bad for her."

"I do not!"

"Then it's ok if I ask her out?"

"What?!?" Brian's eyes got wide.

AJ just laughed.

"Brian you heard me."

"Ohh so you like her?"

"Well yeah." AJ smiled..

"Ohh....." Brian sighed.

"B-Rok! I'm just kiddin' dude"

"Alright..you had me there for a min." Brian smilded.

"Well I think I'll call her a tell her that you have a little crush on her." AJ threatened with a grin.

"Na AJ don't be so nice!" Brian laughed.

"Ohh look at that you didn't try to say you didn't have a crush on her. Is there anything you want me to add to what I'm about to tell her?" AJ teased.

Brian just throw an pillow at him, as he left.

~*~*~

"What!?! I dont know what you talking about."

"Abby come on your face is glowing." Shar said sitting on Gwen's bed "Yeah so?"

"Come on Abby. You like him." Faith added.

"Well I liked him before I even met him, and why should now be any different?" Abby questioned.

"Well I think he like's you too". Faith said, and they all agreed.

"You guy's! He's to old for me." Abby reminded.

"But it doesn’t seem that way." Mandy shot back.

" I know but..."

"No Abby no but's about it." Mandy said.

"Yes there is....come on...it's not even like that!" Abby continued.

"Fine Abby...but I know you like him." Shar said ending the friendly fight.

*~THE GOODBYE....????~*~

It was Tuesday morning. The girl's said their good-bye’s to Gwen the morning before. And the guy's were in NJ. For a concert. Abby woke up around 9:30am and went in got in the shower.

"I cant believe this has happened to me" Abby said to herself. I already miss her. All Abby did when she was in the shower was think about Gwen.

~~~

Gwen was laying on her floor of her new room. I wanna go home...Ohh yeah this is my home.Gwen couldn’t get to sleep. It was already 7:00am so she decided to get in the shower. Ok I'll give this a try but if I dont like it I'm heading my self back to New York Gwen said as she dried off. I miss Abby so much already.

5ive day's later

Ohh yes I cant believe I'm gonna get to see them.Gwen said jumping up and down in her new room. Gwen was going to see the guy's that night. Well I gotta get something to wear.Even though Gwen got to go see the guy's she still didn’t like being away from the girl's.

~*~

"Brian do I look ok?" "Yes Nick you look fine" Ok good cuz Gwen's gonna be here in like 5min. Well you better go get help her through the crowd’s of girl's. Ohh Yeah good idea. Nick stood the bus waiting to see if he saw Gwen. While he was doing that he signed girl's cd's and pic's and all that kinda stuff. Ohh I'm sorry I gotta go. Nick said as he saw Gwen walk through the crowd’s of girl's. Ohh wow hey Nick...is it ok if I give you a hug? Yeah sure...but you'll hear a-lot of scream's. Gwen gave Nick a quick hug as they walked inside.

After all the guy's said hi to Gwen they started talking about stuff. "So Gwen do you like it here?" Howie asked. "Well not really.....Ok I hate it." Why? Aj asked. Cuz if away from everything I know......and Abby + the girl's. Well does your mom like it here? Nick asked. Well yeah she just got a really good job....but she said it's gonna be hard cuz she's gonna be away alot. "Ohh...well..have you talked to Abby?" Brian asked. Gwen smiled at Brian's question. What he asked trying his headest not to smile. "Well I haven’t yet..only cuz we dont have the phone hooked up...I dont even know what box it's in." Why did you wanna know?? Huhhh? I'll tell you why? AJ said standing up from his seat. Brian has the biggest crush on this girl. Man let me tell you. Like last week after they got off the phone he was like glowing and then he went up to his room to read the note she left and it said to go over to the cd player. But then it said how she loved it when she told him to do something and right away he'd do it. Everyone started to laugh. Look I didn’t know it was a trick. You know what....the other day when we were packing up my stuff and Abby had just gotten off the phone She came in my room and she was also glowing she was so happy. Ohh see get's all happy too? Yeah. Gwen said to AJ. Ok so I think she's cute. Brian said trying to get them to shut-up about it. Ohh I think you like her more than you know. Kevin said...looking Brian in the eye.

I dont know...come on Kevin your the one that didn’t like this in the first place. Well I made a mistake. It shouldn’t matter how old a person is cuz that has nothing to do with who they are. Yeah but it's not even like that so get over it. But you did say she was cute. Nick pointed out. So...she is. Brian look me in the eye and say that you dont have a crush on her. Howie...No do it. The second Brian looked at Howie he started to giggle. Ok then it's set Brian and Abby like each other. AJ said. Ohh grow up Brian said leaveing the room. I think we made him mad. Kevin said now feeling bad. Well we'll talk to him later. Nick said about to get ready for the show.

The guy's had just gotten in the bus. Gwen had went home. After all the guy's showered that all sat were the nintendo was set up. Look Brian were sorry about earlier. Howie said speaking for all the guy's. Yeah we were just trying to get you worked up. I know...and it worked. But I dont get it guy's why do you use Abby to do that why cant you say I need to grow up or something? Well cuz Abby work's better. Nick replied. Well...I think I'm gonna call her. Ohh you gonna tell her that you like her? No AJ I'm not...I'm just gonna say hi and see how she's doing. Wait Brian...so you saying that you like her more then just friend's? Kevin dont start with me. Brian said with a smile as he put in Abby's number.

Hello. "Hi Is Abby there?" "No she's out with her boyfriend or who ever that was." "Ohh ok" Brian hung up the phone now worried about Abby. What's wrong Brian? Umm Abby's out with Darren. Ohh..and that's not good. Kevin said kinda asking. "No it's not a good thing. Man if he even touch's her he'll pay. Why would he touch her? Never mind Howie. No wait dont even tell me he beat's her. "Well...I cant really say anything about it." How long have you known? Kevin asked now knowing why Brian and all 5ive of the girl's hated him. Well you know that one night when Abby went with him from the mall? Yeah the all said at the same time. "Well that night or should I say morning she came in and she wasn’t doing to well." Man I hate him. Well Brian try not to get worked up about it and we'll see if she's ok. Howie said about to get in his bunk.

Hey Abby? Hmmm Abby said to Darren. I wanna go to the movie's tomorrow and I want you to come with me. Look Darren I cant I need to get home now. Ohh come on Ab's....it's only 11:00pm. I know and I need it get home. Fine. "Look Darren I cant go out with you any more." "No Abby....I need you." Well that's 2 bad...I cant do it anymore. "You know what Abby...I know thing's started getting bad with us but I want you to know that I will never hit another girl again." So you'll let me go...just like that. "Yeah...I have no other way." "Now there's the Darren I know." But listen get some help. Ok I will Darren said as he pulled away from Abby's house.

Hey Abby you got a phone call. "Ohh well who was it?" I dont know some guy. Ohh ok Abby said witha smile as she went into her room. I cant believe I missed his call. Abby said knowing that it was Brian. Well I'll call him tomorrow. Abby said as she got into her bed.
