I was in my best friend, Charlotte’s car, while we driving down to the North Beach in Miami.

"I can’t believe I’m gonna be in Backstreet Boys’ new video!"

I had been to an audition to be in their new video "Anywhere For You" and I’d passed! I had been a major Backstreet Boys fan ever since they started. I especially liked Nick, the youngest guy, around my own age, with blond, thick hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes you could ever imagine. I was extremely nervous about meeting him.

"You’re so lucky, Taylor" Charlotte said. "If only I’d passed too" "I’m sorry about that," I said. "Don’t be" Charlotte smiled. "You just go and have a god time, and I’ll watch the whole thing when it goes on TV" "You’re making me feel guilty," I said. "That’s the point, silly" she smiled.

"I’m glad to see you so happy again though" Charlotte said, more serious.

This was the first time since my boyfriend Todd had cheated on me that I was happy.

I had been going out with Todd for 2 years and found him one day standing on a corner kissing another girl and my heart was broken. I had loved and trusted Todd and wasn’t able to do anything for a long time after the break-up, until the audition had come up and I decided to run for a part in the video. "Yeah, I’m not so sad anymore, Charlotte" I said. "I’m glad" she smiled and pulled into the driveway where the shoot were taking place.

"What if I don’t even meet the boys?" I said and looked at Charlotte. "You probably will" Charlotte said. "Now go out and have a good time" "Thanx" I said and gave her a hug before I left. I got out of the car and after waving goodbye to Charlotte, I looked around.

It was a big beach with many people, but no sign of the Backstreet Boys. I didn’t know where to go, but I took a shot at it and went over to a woman, who seemed to be very busy. "Excuse me" I said.

"Yes?" the woman, said. She seemed to be a bit uncomfortable and very grumpy. "I’m suppose to be in the shoot," I said, a little insecure. "Did you get a pass?" the woman asked, still very unpleasant.

"Yes, it’s right here" I said and took the pass from my purse and handed it to her.

"Go over to that lady" she said after looking at the pass. "She’ll tell you what to do"

"A grumpy lady" I thought and walked over to the lady I was pointed to.

She on the other hand looked much friendlier than the other woman did. "Hi’ I’m suppose to be in the shoot. I’ve got my pass with me" "Can I see it for a minute?" she asked and smiled. "Sure" I said and gave her the pass. "That seems to be okay" the woman said and smiled. "I’m Denise McLean, and you are?" "Taylor Johnson" I said. "Wait a minute, are you..?" "Yeah, I’m AJ’s mom" she smiled. "Wow, that’s amazing" I said. "A real pleasure to meet you, Mrs. McLean" I said. "Please, call me Denise" she said. "Come on, I’ll show where you can change" "Change?" I asked, a bit confused. "You have to get into a bikini. This is a beach video, we can’t you bouncing around in that thick sweat-shirt" "No, of course" I said. "But I don’t have a bikini with me" "We have an entire wardrobe where you can find you size and the one you like the most" Denise said and smiled. "I think maybe..." she said and looked at me.

"Oh, never mind. I’ll tell you in a minute. The wardrobe is over there. I’ll be back in a minute" she said and left.

"AJ’s mom. Oh, wait till Charlotte hears this" I thought and smiled. Charlotte was the biggest AJ fan on the earth and even meeting his mom would be enough to make her faint.

I walked over to the camper where the bikinis were supposed to be. I was deep in my thoughts about if I was going to meet Nick, when I suddenly bumped in to someone.

"Oh, I’m sorry…" I said and looked at the person I had bumped in to. It was Nick!

"Oh, that’s alright" he said. "Did you hurt yourself?" "Me?" I asked stupid. "Ohm, I mean...no, I’m fine" "Okay" he laughed. "What were you thinking of since you were so deep in thoughts?" "Ohm...nothing in particular" I said. Oh my God, Nick was standing here, talking to ME. "Are you going to be in the video shoot?" he asked. "Yeah I am. I was very lucky. The choice was between me and like Pamela Anderson" He laughed. "Well, I like women, who has that natural look, not all that plastic surgery and stuff" "Well, then you have many to pick from" I smiled. "Not many girls look like photo models"

"Luckily" he said. "Well, I hope to see you in the shoot" "Yeah me too" I said. "Bye...by the way, what’s your name" "Ohm...Taylor" I said after remembering what my name was. "Right. Goodbye Taylor" he smiled and walked over to another camper.

"Not many girls look like photo models" I said to myself and smacked myself on the forehead.

What kinda stupid thing was that to say?!

Then Denise walked over to me "Have you found a bikini you like?" she asked. "I haven’t even looked yet," I said. "I just bumped into Nick" "Oh, you did? Nice guy, ha? Wonder what he’s doing in this part though...Well, that’s not the issue. I just talked to producer and he said that he needs a girl to film the boys during the video. It’s a part of the concept and I thought you would be the right. What do you say?" "Yeah, of course" I said. I was gonna be real close to the boys, really close. This was an amazing day, truly amazing.

I hurried in to find a bikini in my size. I found one that was really nice. I put it on and went out again. "That’s lovely," Denise said. Come on. Let me introduce you to the boys"
