~~~~~~~A Week Later~~~~~~~
Stephanie, Amanda, and Katelyn had gotten back two days before from helping Stephanie's parents move to California and now they were halfway to Italy where the guys were.
~~~~~~~At the Airport~~~~~~~
Stephanie, Amanda, Katelyn, and AJ's mom got all their bags and then had them loaded into the limo that was sent to pick them up.
They then took their bags to the hotel. Then dropped AJ's mom off at the meeting she had to go to and then they went to the place where the guys were practicing.
When they got there, they found the room and went right inside the door. The guys were to into their dancing to notice them standing there.
"Are you going to do something?" Katelyn said into Stephanie's ear so that she would be able to hear her.
Stephanie shook her head.
The song ended and Brian looked over towards the door. He tapped AJ on the shoulder, since he was standing next to him, and pointed at the door.
AJ looked over to where Brian was pointing.
AJ then walked over to Stephanie. He kissed her and then he hugged her. He could hear that she was crying so he pulled away.
"Baby, don't cry." he said as he wiped away her tears. "It's just that I've missed you so much." Stephanie said. "I've missed you too."
Amanda and Katelyn went over by the other guys so that Stephanie and AJ could be alone.
~~~~~~~The Other Guys~~~~~~~ "Who's that?" AJ's dancing partner asked. "That's Stephanie." Nick said. "Who's Stephanie." "AJ's wife." Brian said. "Oh. That's her?" "Yeah." "She's really pretty." "Yup." Nick said.
Brian gave him a look.
"Um. But not as pretty as ummmmm, what's her name again?" Nick said. "Who? Katie?" Katelyn said. "That's it. My um, girlfriend, Katie." "You don't seem very sure about that." Amanda said. "That's because I like Stephanie." Nick muttered under his breath.
Katelyn was the only one who heard him.
"Keep dreaming, Nick." she said.
Nick blushed.
AJ and Stephanie came over by the rest of the people in the room. Everybody talked for a little bit and then the guys had to go back to practicing.
Stephanie, Amanda, and Katelyn went out in the hall until they were done.
After awhile, the guys came out and three girls got up.
Stephanie went over to AJ. Even though he was all sweaty, Stephanie allowed him to put his arm around her because she missed him so much and she just wanted to be near him.
Everybody started walking out but stopped when they saw how many fans were outside.
AJ took Stephanie's hand and the rest of the guys crowded around her, Amanda, and Katelyn. They all ran to the bus but were stopped when a fan got hold of Stephanie's jacket and pulled her out of the group.
The rest of the people started getting on the bus when AJ realized he wasn't holding Stephanie's hand anymore. He turned around and saw that she was getting pushed around by a bunch of fans, who were litterely hurting her and sent a bodyguard to get her.
The bodyguard pushed through the group of fans and got a hold of Stephanie and walked her to the bus without letting anybody pull her away this time.
Stephanie got to where AJ was standing right outside of the bus and wrapped her arms around his waist and they got on the bus and headed for the hotel.
~~~~~~~On the Bus~~~~~~~
AJ and Stephanie went to the couch at the front of the bus and sat down.
Stephanie looked down at her hand when she felt some pain in it and saw that it was bleeding from a cut on the back of her hand.
She figured that it was when she was being pulled back and forth cause she didn't remember being cut by anything but she showed AJ and the rest of the guys helped to get it cleaned up.
Then everybody just sat down and talked for awhile.
