~~~~~~~The next day~~~~~~~
Stephanie drove Brian and AJ to the airport and Katelyn came along. The ride to the airport was very silent. They walked to the gate in silence except for the noise of the other people. When they got to the gate, there was a guy with blonde hair and who was wearing all Tommy Hilfiger.(r) The blonde guy turned around and looked at Stephanie straight in the eyes. That's when she realized that it was Nick. She didn't really want to talk to him so she walked over to where Brian and AJ were standing and put her head on AJ's shoulder. AJ looked down at her and smiled. Nick walked over to where she was standing and said, "Hi, Stephanie."
She looked up and said, "Hi." "How are you?" "Better then ever." "What do you mean by that?" "I think you know what I mean by that." "Well, you think wrong." "Do I now." "Uhhh, Yeah." "Whatever."
Then Katelyn and Stephanie walked into the gift shop.
"What's her problem?" Nick asked. "I don't think she likes you very much." AJ said. "Duh." Brian said. "Oh, Wait. The other night, when we were on her bed, she told me that she liked you." AJ said. "Wait. Did you say, you, her, bed, night?" Nick asked. AJ nodded.
Stephanie and Katelyn came out of the gift shop just in time to see Nick punch AJ in the eye.
"OHMIGOD!" Stephanie said as she ran to AJ's side. When she got to AJ's side, she looked up at Nick and sked him, "What did you do?"
Katelyn ran off to get some ice.
"I punched him." Nick said. "And why did you do that?" "Because he slept with you." "And when did I do this?" "The other night." "Um, no. We sat on my bed and he gave me a hug because somebody, not metioning any names, Nick, broke my heart." "Hey, long distance relationships never work. Everyone knows that." "That's not the point. I didn't sleep with him, Nick" "Yeah, sure, whatever." "Ask Brian he was there."
Brian put his hands up and backed away.
"What would it mean to you if I did?" "Nothin." "Come on, Nick, you wouldn't of punched AJ if it didn't mean anything to you." "Fine. It would mean a lot to me. I only broke up with you because I thought while I was away on tour, you would find another guy." "Say that again." "No, I'm not going to say it again."
Katelyn is now standing next to her with the ice.
"I would never leave you for somebody else while your away. I'm not that kind of person."
Stephanie took the ice from Katelyn and slammed it down on AJ's eye.
"Ow! That hurt!" AJ said. "Sorry."
Stephanie helped AJ off the floor and sit down on the couch. Then she sat down next to him.
"Thanks for the help." AJ said. "No problem."
Katrina, Katie, Howie, and Kevin came running up.
"Sorry, were late." they said.
Katrina and Howie went and sat across the room and started making out.
"Hey, D is getting lucky." AJ said.
All of a sudden, there was a announcement that the Backstreet Boys should start getting on the plane. Everybody looked over at Howie and Katrina and started laughing. Kevin, Howie, AJ, Nick, and Brian started walking through the long hallway to the plane. Katelyn and Stephanie were saying goodbye to Katrina and Katie. Then they followed. Kevin and Howie sat up front so that they could plug in their laptops. AJ and Nick sat together. They sat across from Katelyn, Stephanie, and Brian. Stephanie forgot to mention that she was afraid of heights. She looked out the window and slumped down in her seat. Brian leaned over and asked her, "What's the matter?"
Stephanie pointed out the window. Brian offered to switch seats with her. They did because she wanted to be farther away from the window. Stephanie started talking to AJ and Nick. Then Nick said, "You know it really is your fault."
"What? What's my fault?" "It's your fault that I punched AJ." "Why, because your jealous?" "Well, at least I don't sleep around." "Nick, that was totally uncalled for." AJ said.
Stephanie got up and ran to the bathroom. She went inside and locked the door. She sat down on the floor and started crying. She couldn't believe he had enough guts to say that." Brian, Kevin, and Katelyn came back and knocked on the door.
"Go away and leave me alone." she said.
