~ Three Months Later~
"Micki! Hurry up!" Leah called from the bottom of the stairs. I looked around my room, trying to recognize anything I should bring with me.
My eyes stopped at the nightstand where a framed picture sat. I sighed as the memories flooded back to me. It was of me and AJ holding onto one another.
I sighed as I walked over to the table, picked up the picture and placed it in my bag. I havent talked to AJ since that night and believe me, it was killing me.
Well, here were me and the girls. Our first song, Tell Me topped the charts immediatly and our CD goes on sale tomorrow. We were going on tour, we were an opening act. They didnt tell us who we were opening for, so I was a little anxious about who we'd be touring with.
I turned off the light in my room and walked down the stairs. I picked up my huge Tommy Hilfiger duffel bag that I had placed at the bottom and dragged my two bags out the door as Megan locked up the house. Her and Nick were still together, but we never discussed AJ. Same with Brian and Leah.
I sighed as we got into my car and drove off towards the three month tour we were about to endure. I didnt speak a word as Megan and Leah gushed about how excited they were.
We pulled up to the Jive Records Building where there were two buses waiting. I sighed as I parked my car. Megan and Leah grabbed their things and rushed to the buses.
Slowly I grabbed my two bags and walked to the buses. I wish AJ could share this with me. I gasped as I saw a male figure embrace Megan in a hug. I shifted my eyes and saw Leah and Brian hugging as well. No, dont tell me we'll be touring with the Backstreet Boys.
I walked cautiously towards the buses. Sure enough, there were their managers and all the guys except AJ. Oh no, this isnt happening.
"Micki!" Nick exclaimed.
"Hey," I chuckled nervously.
Just then AJ jumped down from the steps of the bus, making his presense known. I took a deep breath as I suddenly felt weak.
"Let's go!" someone called and everyone began piling onto the buses.
"Ok, you guys are on that bus," our manager, Robert (yes the same guy) said pointing towards one of the buses.
"With the guys," he finished. I looked up quickly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I brushed past everyone and got onto the bus throwing my bags down on a bunk, I claimed for my own.
The journey started out slow and nauseating, but I finally fell asleep, ignoring everyone on the bus. I cant believe I was touring with them!
That Night~
"Thank you Charleston!" I yelled to the crowd. The crowd erupted into applause. I was blushing. They liked us, good sign. Megan, Leah, and I ran off stage, waving to the crowd as we did.
When we got backstage, they guys were just sitting around. I took a deep breath. They had about thirty minutes before they made their appearance.
I grabbed my bag and took a shower. I changed into a red tank top and jean shorts. I put on my ankle length socks and my white Lugz. When I returned to the room where everyone was, all the guys were standing around, preparing to go onto stage.
Megan and Leah were no where to be seenn. They all looked at me and smiled, all except AJ who had avoided eye contact with me ever since this morning.
"Hey, you did good," Nick complimented.
"Thanks, good luck out there," I said smiling.
"Thanks," Kevin said.
I looked at AJ and at the same time he looked at me. We quickly turned our heads and I grabbed my bag.
"Well, I guess I'll see you after the show," I sighed.
"You're not going to watch?" Howie asked disappointed.
"The girls are walking the crowd," Brian said.
"They want to see if anyone will recognize them," Nick said with a devilish grin on his face. I rolled my eyes, but laughed.
"I guess I'll join them," I laughed.
"Bye guys, good luck," I said.
"I dont get a good luck kiss?" Kevin asked smiling.
AJ glared at him, but as soon as he noticed that I had noticed, he turned his head. I walked up to Kevin and kissed his cheek.
"What about me?" Howie asked.
I gave him a good luck kiss. Brian and Nick said their girls already gave them one.
"What about AJ?" Nick asked, he knew exactly what he was doing.
AJ and I glared at him.
"Good luck AJ," I said softly before leaving the room.
As I was walking around the arena, I ran into Megan and Leah.
"Hey guys," I said smiling.
"Hey, lets walk around outside. I think theres a radio station out there or something," Megan suggested.
"Ok," we agreed walking out of the arena.
