CHAPTERÊONE
"It was awful!!!!!!!" I cried down the phone. My day had not gone well, and who better to listen to me than my best friend Erik. "Britney, calm down. What happened?" he asked smoothly. I blabbed on about how I had got caught in the rain then a car had splashed mud on me, so I tried to run home when i bumped into my crush.
"He just stared at me... oddly. U know that kind of stare? I couldn't believe it! Erik u gotta come over here!"
"I'm there.'" He said and put down the phone. MInutes later the door ball rang. I Ran to the door and opened it so roughly it banged against the wall and almost shut right back again. "whoa!" Erik said catching the door. "must of been tough Brit.'"
I nodded and stepped back to let him in. I looked a mess. Even though i took a shower my hair was all damp and i was all limp. Erik caught me looking in the mirror. “You look fine.” He said. "I need to tell you something." There suddenly was a strain in his voice. A frown developed on his fore head. I suddenly forgot about my troubles and sat next to erik on the couch.
I sank down and looked over to him and put my hand out. "What's wrong"' I asked. I took his hand and squeezed it tight. ' We're best friends.' I said, then paused. I sounded like I was 2 years old. I pouted and Erik laughed. 'Maybe that's what makes it so hard.' He said and looked up at me. I let go of his hand and stood up. 'If u are coming on to me I swear I will...' Erik really laughed then and said. 'You wish.... no it's just......'
'What??????????' I said. I rolled my eyes and said. 'Erik honey....'
'I got into the band...' He said vaguely. 'What?' I said and produced a puzzled smile. 'Which ba...... oh my god! That band! The band? Oh god!!' I laughed and ran my fingers through my hair.
'I can tell you haven't been watching the show.' He said and smiled.
'I've been busy.' I said and sat down. Then I realised. 'Don't you have to go to..'
'Orlando for that, yes I do.' He finished. I sat there shocked, we had always been so tight.
'I don't believe your leaving me.' I said quietly.
'Brit, I'm not leaving you. You can come and visit and I'll come back and visit. You know I would never ever leave you.'
'I suppose.' I said and leaned on Erik's shoulder.
'Brit, do you wanna come with me? For a couple of days. So you can meet the guys and everyone?' I smiled and I saw Erik's eyes twinkling. 'You bet!' I said and jumped up. 'Which one is theÊcute one again?'

'God it's hot!' I said as I stepped off the plane.
'ItÕs 80 degrees Brit, or something around that anywaysÉ' Erik said. He put his arm around me and said, 'you don't know any of them do you?' I shook my head. I so wanted to make a cool impression. And tripping over my feet was so not cool. ÔDonÕt worry brit.' Erik said.
'God, it's so freaky how you read my mind.' I said. But Erik wasn't listening. 'Erik?' I asked. And waved my hand in front of his face.
'Stop it!' he said and I saw what he was looking at. There were a group of four guys waving at us. They were all very cute. Especially the blonde one. 'Whose the blonde?' I asked.
'Oh thatÕs Ashley. Hands off. HeÕs got a girlfriend.' I laughed and playfully hit him but I fluffed up my hair anyway. 'Erik, man!' a cute guy with brown curly hair and blue eyes came up. 'What happened to you?'
'Plane got delayed.' Erik answered shortly.
'Your girl is....?' the guy asked and Erik rolled his eyes. I smiled and said, ÔIÕm Britney. And IÕm not his girl. You can call me brit.'
'IÕm Jacob.' he said. 'Call me Jacob.' I smiled but Erik scowled. He put his arm around me again and forced a twisted smile. 'Jacob, man, lets go and get the bags.' Jacob looked back at me then went to get a trolley. 'Erik, what's up?' I said through pursed lips. Erik looked down at me but didn't say anything. We got up to the other three guys and they all smiled.
'So brit, this is Ashley Trevor and Ikaika, guys this is Britney, where has Jacob gone?' He said very quickly then he ushered me inside the airport. I got mega confused and I developed a very sudden bad headache.'Brit, what's wrong?' said a confused Ashley.
'My head hurts something bad.' I replied and closed my eyes. Ashley hugged me so close I could smell him. Even though he smelt good it made me even dizzier. I sat down on a nearby chair and Ashley came after me. 'Brit, what's up?' he asked.
'I feel all sick and dizzy.' I replied. 'I think IÕm gonna faint.'
'Brit, it's more than that. ItÕs Erik isn't it?' I stared at him real impressed he could tell what was going on in my head. I nodded and raised my eyebrow. 'I suppose he never did tell you.' Ashley said almost in a whisper.ÔActually, why would he?Õ He stood and thought for a minute. ÔAshley!Õ I insisted.
'Sorry, but he got it bad, for you.' Ashley replied.
