After they sang to me I left to go back to my seat. Leighanne smiled and I smiled back at her. Why was she so smiley today?
Their last song was one I knew. It was “I want it that way” and frankly…I have to admit, it had a good beat and I was singing along to it with all the other little girls in the audience who went hysterical when Nick sang “Don’t wanna hear you say…” I kind of rolled my eyes. This was ridiculous.
After the concert was over Leighanne and I went to meet the guys.
“That was fantastic!” Leighanne said hugging a sweaty Brian.
“Rachel? Did you like it?” Kevin asked me.
I smiled politely “Yeah…I honestly did,” I said. Nick was walking towards me with a huge smile on his face. He hugged me. I didn’t hug back. It was uncomfortable to have someone like Nick hug you. I mean, he acted like I was his when the truth is, I’d rather be no ones.
After awhile Leighanne and I went home. She was tired and so was I. As soon as I went home I checked my messages. I had two. Curiously, I pressed the play button.
“Eeeeh! Rachel! This is Leighanne! You’re not home right now but….i’ll pick you up in like…30 minutes ok?” Leighanne hung up and I erased it.
I yawned. I was feeling really sitcky so I decided to take a shower before I heard the next message.
“You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
That I want it that way
But we are two worlds
Apart
Can’t reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why…
Ain’t nuthin but a heartache
Tell me why…
Ain’t nuthin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way…”
I stopped singing in mid sentence. I was singing a BSB song! Surprisingly…I knew ALL the lyrics! I laughed it off and continued my shower. When I stepped out I pressed the play button and listened to my other message
“Hey Rachel…call me back ASAP ok? I need to talk to you,” My heart stopped. That was Danny.
