Madison was shocked when she looked at the paper a couple days later. They were now in Texas for three shows and a day off as well. The headline read: "Backstreet manager and Backstreet Boy??"
The first name that came to mind, 'Dave...that jerk.'
She swung open the door, only to come face to face with Kevin, who was holding the paper. "What the hell is this?!"
"I don't know!! That picture is of us walking to that club the other night..anyone in their right mind could see nothing was going on!"
They both looked at one another as his cell rang, then hers, then her hotel room phone, all at the same time. Madison groaned, "I swear..I'm going to KILL Dave."
"You think he did this??," Kevin said switching his phone off.
"Of course! Great..where is that other phone!!"
Kevin watched, almost amused, how she ran around the room trying to find her second cell phone that was just for emergencies. She found it and turned it on. "Hello? Oh thank God you're not some reporter!! No..did you see it to?! Oh great..its out there..shit..damn him. No..I'm okay Trish..okay..okay..I'll call you back later."
She hung up and looked like she was about to pitch the phone across the room. "Tricia said its in the papers in North Carolina, and Florida, AJ's mom called her wondering about it..my God Kevin..he really screwed me over this time..," She said sinking down onto the bed.
"No he didn't.."
"Yes, he did. He wanted to hurt me like I hurt him when Michael and I went to the police and told them what was going on. He said I ruined him..and Tricia was right, he was going to do something back..I should of realized. UGH! Why is it I choose THE awfulist people to date?!!?!?"
Kevin couldn't help it and laughed, Madison looked at him like he had lost his mind. "I'm sorry Madi..its..its just that you looked so funny when you said that last part!"
"Its not funny!"
"I know..I know..," He said sobering up a bit before looking behind him when someone cleared their throat.
Michael was standing there, holding a copy of the paper.
Later that day, Madison was in her hotel room all alone. The guys had a press conference to dispel the rumors. Michael didn't want her there. For some weird reason, she felt completely alone. It seemed as if no one understood what Dave was doing. He intentionally hurt her, much like he did in their relationship. She sighed and looked out the window. Fans, angry and the true fans, were lined up outside. She saw a poster of herself, a red mark through it and 'bitch' scrawled under it. She wanted to get out, just to walk alone by herself, but there was no way she could get out without the fans seeing her. Plus, no security was there to take her out.
She sighed and pushed herself away from the window and turned on the tv to MTV. They had live coverage of the press conference and she just happened to catch the part where a reporter, flat out, asked if Kevin was seeing Madison. He smiled a little and then said 'no' and went on to explain that him and the guys all had a friendly relationship with Madison, nothing romantic at all. She turned it off and sighed again, lying back on the bed. She hoped this would blow over..and soon.
