Shining Star-CHAPTER ONE

11/19/00- Sydney, Australia

Adrianne stood around a crowd of a few thousand people as the Backstreet Boys performed "Shape Of My Heart". She had talked to some of the fans earlier. A lot of them asked questions about what growing up with Kevin as a brother was like. Some of the fans even wanted to take pictures with Adrianne and get her autograph.

All of a sudden, when BSB was performing their medley of AIHTG/IWITW/and Time, a guy came up to Adrianne. She thought he was kinda cute. He was about 6 feet tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Hello" the guy said, "My name is Joey, what's yours?"

"Adrianne" Adrianne replied, "So Joey, what's up?"

"Nothing much." Joey said, "So, you're a big BSB fan?"

Adrianne laughed, "I guess you could say that."

Then, Joey put his arm around her; "You're pretty. Do you think we could go out to dinner tonight?"

"I don't think so." Adrianne told him, "I have to leave right after the show."

"Well, can we hang out until then?" Joey asked.

Adrianne grabbed his arm and threw it off her, "Ok, this is getting really uncomfortable. I'm gonna go."

Joey grabbed her arm, "No way, you're coming with me!" He proceeded to pull her away.

LET ME GO!!!" Adrianne screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to break free.

Kevin saw what was going on. He ran over, grabbed Joey by the shirt, and ripped him off Adrianne. Kevin punched him in the face.

"LISTEN ASSHOLE!!" Kevin shouted, "Nobody hurts my little sister and gets away with it!!!!"

The police came over. "What seems to be the problem Kevin?" asked an officer.

Kevin pointed to Joey, "That punk right there tried to attack my sister!"

The police handcuffed Joey and took him away. "Are you ok?" Kevin asked Adrianne.

"I'm fine,” Adrianne said. A small tear trickled down her face.

Kevin hugged his sister, "C'mon. Let's go. The other guys are waiting in the bus."

When Adrianne and Kevin got on the bus, Howie was on his cellphone, Nick was playing video games, Brian was reading a book, and AJ was just staring out the window.

Brian looked up at Adrianne, "What happened?”

Adrianne said, "Some guy almost attacked me."

Brian stood up, "WHAT? Where's he at? I'LL KILL THE BASTARD!!!!!"

"Calm down Brian. The police took care of him." Kevin explained. He then went in the back room and watched TV.

Adrianne sighed as she sat down. AJ laughed. "What's so funny?" she asked him. "Nothing." AJ said, still laughing, "It's just that what that guy did doesn't suprize me. You look like a slut."

Adrianne gave him a weird look, "Go to hell!"

"Bitch" AJ mumbled.

"FREAK!" Adrianne shouted. She walked over and slapped him.

Kevin stepped out of the back room.

"Stop it!" he said, "Jesus Christ, you two fight like you're married."

“Ewww no!" Adrianne said, "I would never marry a pimp!"

"Oh yeah?" AJ answered, "Well I would never marry a slut!"

Kevin got mad, "Don't call her that!!"

AJ replied, "Hey! She called me a pimp! Why aren't you yelling at her?"

"Because what she said is true." Kevin said, "We all know you're the biggest pimp in the world."

AJ looked around and said, "I am not!"

"YES YOU ARE!" everyone on the bus shouted.

11/21/00 NYC-MTV STUDIOS

"LIZ!!!" Adrianne shouted in the front lobby as she greeted her friend.

"Hi" Liz said, "What's up girl?"

"Not much" Adrianne answered, "It's so cool that you could come."

Liz sat down and spoke, "Yeah. Besides, it'll give me a chance to see AJ. He is such a hottie!!"

Adrianne rolled her eyes, "Oh please! In almost 8 years, I still don’t understand how you could have a crush on him. Trust me, I'm around AJ alot more than you are. He's annoying. He's the worst person I've ever met."

Just then, AJ walked in the room.

"Hi AJ!" Liz said.

"Hi Liz." AJ replied.

Everyone then went up into the studio.

"CARSON!!!!" Adrianne screamed as she ran up and hugged her favorite MTV VJ.

Carson was shocked, "Ummm.... Security!" A guard began to walk over.

"It's ok." Kevin explained, "Don't mind her. She can be a little crazy sometimes. Carson, this is my little sister Adrianne."

Carson shook her hand, "It's nice to meet you Adrianne."

Adrianne smiled, "It's nice to meet you too. I'm so sorry for acting like a teeny-bopper just now."

The show was incredible! There were thousands of fans in Times Square singing along. Everyone seemed to love Black & Blue.

The album release party was amazing. Adrianne and Liz danced with a couple of cute guys they had met. Kevin, of course, kept glancing over, making sure that his sister was ok. After awhile, Adrianne got kinda bored, so she went and got a soda.

Brian walked over to her, "So, how's my favorite cousin doing?"

"Hey!" Kevin interuppted, "I thought I was your favorite cousin!"

Brian laughed, "You both are."

AJ walked by and accidentally bumped into Adrianne, causing the soda in her hand to spill all over her blue tank top.

"Damn it!" she said, "Watch where you're going freak!"

AJ just stood there for a minute.

Then Kevin said, "Apologize to her AJ."

AJ walked over to Adrianne and mumbled, "Sorry".

"Whatever!" Adrianne said.

Nick shook his head.

"What?" Adrianne asked.

Nick chuckled, "I swear, you and AJ can't go two minutes without fighting."

The party ended around 2:30am. Kevin had to carry Adrianne out because she had fallen asleep. When they got to the airport, she woke up. Her, Kevin, Brian, and Liz were going back to Kentucky for Thanksgiving.

During the flight, Adrianne and Liz looked at a couple of teenybopper magazines, staring at the pin ups of cute guys. Then, Adrianne discovered a pinup of AJ. She ripped it right in half.

Liz was pissed, "Why'd you do that? Maybe I wanted that picture."

Kevin rolled his eyes, "Adrianne, I seriously wish you and AJ could at least try to get along."

"Yeah right." Adrianne replied, "The day AJ and I get along, is the day hell freezes over"

THE NEXT DAY:

"MOM!!!!!!!!" Adrianne said as she entered her childhood home in Lexington, KY.

"There's my baby!" Anne Richardson said, hugging her daughter.

She then hugged Kevin and Brian too. Brian's parents were coming over later. Liz was at her parent’s house.

"Hey squirt!" Tim said to Adrianne.

Adrianne hugged him and replied, "You know I hate it when you call me that!"

"Wanna shoot some baskets before dinner?" Tim asked.

"Ok" Adrianne said. She grabbed her jacket and the two of them went outside.

As soon as the door was shut, Anne spoke to Kevin, "Have you been watching Adrianne and making sure she......"

"Yes Mom." Kevin interrupted.

Anne continued, "Honey, you know what happens to her when she doesn't......"

"I know Mom!" Kevin said, "I promised you I would watch out for Adrianne and taker care of her, and I have been. Don't worry. She's fine."

Jerald came over awhile later with his wife. Adrianne and Tim were now back in the house. Tim and Kevin were talking, while Adrianne watched TV with her niece Madison and her nephew Will. Actually, only her and Madison were really watching. Will was sleeping in his crib. Brian's parents came at around 6:30pm. Soon after, they all sat down to eat. Everyone asked about what the trip around the world was like. Adrianne, Kevin, and Brian did not mention what happened in Australia. Adrianne did not want to scare her Mom. She had enough to worry about.

*THANKSGIVING DAY*

Kevin went and picked up his wife Kristin at the airport. He had missed her terribly. They hadn't seen each other in a month. Kevin had been so busy doing promotional stuff for Black & Blue, while Kristin was in LA doing a movie. Kristin was very pretty. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Her and Kevin had been married for about 5 months. Adrianne hugged Kristin as she entered the house, "Hi Kris. What's up?"

"Not much" Kristin replied, "I'm just a little tired. So.... when are you and AJ getting married?"

Adrianne laughed, "Very funny! You know him and me don't get along. And we probably never will."

Brian's wife Kayluh arrived just before dinner. She was 23 and had dark blonde hair and green-blue eyes. Her and Brian had been married for two months.

After dinner and all the dishes were done, the guys watched football, Ann watched TV in her room, and Adrianne, Kristin, and Kayluh talked in Adrianne's old room. The three of them sat around watching Ever After.

"I love this movie." Kristin said, "But I can never get Kevin to watch it with me. He thinks it's one of those chick flicks."

Kayluh laughed, "I know! It's the same thing with me and Brian."

Adrianne got up and walked over to the window.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Kristin asked.

Adrianne sighed, "Nothing."

"You can tell us." Kayluh said, "We're all family."

Kristin knew what was wrong, "Adrianne, don't worry. You'll find the right guy someday."

"Yeah right!!" Adrianne blurted out, "Not as long as Kevin's around. Every guy I've ever liked, he thinks is gonna use me. I wish he would act more like a brother and not a father."

Kristin spoke to her sister-in- law again, "Honey, he loves you. I've never seen a guy love his sister more than Kevin does. He just wants what’s best for you."

The three girls sat down and watched the rest of the movie.

*December 15,2000- Los Angelas, CA*

The guys were rehearsing for their Black & Blue tour. Adrianne watched patiently as they learned each new step. Over the years, she had practically memorized the choreography to each one of their songs. She could do all the dances just as well as the guys could. The same dancers from the Millennium tour were gonna be on this one. Adrianne thought all of them were really nice.

Just before the first rehearsal, Fatima came out and said, "Guys, I have some bad news. Christine is suddenly very sick and won't be able to dance with us on this tour. So, we're one dancer short."

"Who are we gonna get to replace her?" Kevin asked.

Adrianne stood up, "I could do it."

"Yeah she could." Brian said, "She took dance for 8 years."

"That's a great idea." Fatima said, "But the thing is, I don't have time to go back and teach her the steps we've already learned. One of you guys have to show Adrianne in your spare time."

"Well I can't." Kevin said, "I'm way too busy."

Brian couldn't because he was spending all his free time with Kayluh. Howie couldn't because he was helping his sister Pollyanna record some new songs. Nick couldn't because he was helping out his little brother Aaron. There was only one person left. Everyone turned to him and Brian said, "AJ, you're gonna have to teach her."
