Chapter Six

Chapter Seven

Terri didn't move out of bed much during the next 2 months. She would make it for the shows, acting all happy and stuff, but as soon as she was back at the hotel in tears. Mana would killed Erik, but didn't wanna leave her friend. Julie also stayed by her bedside. She constantly played loud music, sad music, whenever she needed to pull out of a sad episode. If the neighbors complained, Mana would tell them to get a life, and try to be happy after they went through what terri had.

One Day they left their friend alone to go out with Shirley and the rest of garbage. Since Nsync and Britney were coming over ,they didn't think problems would come up. But, just in case, they locked the medicine cabinet and took the keys, and put all the sharped objects on their beds and locked the doors and took the keys.

Terri turned on the music and Jessica Simpson blasted out.

The lyrics related to her 'feelings.' for Erik.

"You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it too I know you do
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees....
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
And that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fall
Be at the mercy of a man,
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are......
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
In my life I've learned that heaven never waits no
Let's take this now before it's gone
like yesterday oh
Cuz when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me.... I'm gonna love.
Chorus (vamp)."

Chris , Britney, and the others had come in while the song was half over as Terri replayed it a second time. Britney felt so sorry for her and really steamed at Erik. He called four times while they were there and would call 4 times after Mana came back.

Meanwhile Julie, Mana, and Robyn were having a ball with Garbage. Mana stayed close to Shirley while the other girls hung out with the rest of the band. The adventurous night started with racing on a go-kart track, the making prank calls, have a food/pillow fight, followed by a game of truth or dare, a game of poker, a movie, shopping spree, singing karrokee, going out for pizza, and finally to a video arcade. Mana had become good friends with Shirley, and was ecstatic as they exchanged phone #'s, e-mail addresses, beeper #'s and mailing addresses. Shirley promised to call tomorrow to check up on Terri and to have a long talk with Mana. Mana promised an autographed copy of their album and Shirley promised an autographed copy of their next. Everyone said their goodbyes as the limo pulled up to the club. They all got tight hugs from the ban and autographed photos.

Terri in the part 8 hours ( the length of the girls outing ) had played Mandy Moore, Brandy, Christina A. , Britney Spears,+ Geri Halliwell. They talked to her but she didn't talk back much. Britney and Chris feared she would sink into depression. Britney and Nsync gave her hugs and talked , hoping to console her and pull her out of this.

In the elevator going up to the 50th floor where their rooms where :.

Mana - Man, that was totally awesome ( hugging her picture ). I still can't believe I got Shirley's PERSONAL contact information. Pinch me so I know this isn't a dream ( Julie pinches her ). Ouch.

Robyn - You did say pinch me.

Julie - So I did.

Mana ( rolls eyes ) - You guys are wack.

Robyn - I'm not wacked, I'm crazy.

Julie - Thanx for the compliment.

As the doors opened, Julie got out the room key for their room # 8282. She turned the knob and greeted everyone as did the other two girls. The celebs got up to leave, saying goodbye to Terri, leaving autographed pics, personal contact information ( also including cell phone # ). Mana and Robyn looked up with hopeful eyes at the group while Julie's stomach did backflips.

The news wasn't good. Everyone shook their heads. All 3 girls, as well as the group of 6 became very angry at Erik. Curses were made in and out of their minds, but kept out of earshot of their friend. Britney snuck a peek in the room an saw Terri sobbing heavily as Walk me Hone by Mandy Moore played, music vibrating off the walls.

"WALK ME HOME
3 a.m., your on my mind once again
I must of been dreaming
Thought I felt your heart beat to ten
And I wonder how it would be
If I was your lady
And you were my friend
I would put my heart in your hand
And it would never end
Baby would you walk me home
I don't wanna go all the way alone
Baby would you walk me home."
