~~~If You Knew What I Knew~~~
~~~~~~CHAPTER 14~~~~~~
The last week of the Europe tour wrapped up in Italy. The day after the concert everyone got on the bus and went to the airport to fly home for their break. Charmed had a day off but the next day they had to show up at the video shoot at 6 am. They video shoot is only supposed to go for two days. Nigel Dick is directing it and the single is "Here I am". The concept of the video is that the girls get in a car accedent and Laura dies. She then becomes the other girls gaurdian angel. This happens to Laura because she wrote the song and relates to the way she feels about her best friends, so it is like she is singing it to them. The first set is with all of them. They are basically in a field singing togther. They had to do it for a few hours. Then the girls got to go home but Laura had to stay to do a few shots by herself. The other girls had to be back at 7 am the next day. They all showed up and hung around waiting to start. Christina sat in a chair looking dead. Laura went over and put her arm around her. "You alright? You look like you just found out the world is going to end." Christina looked up startled. "Oh..uhhuh. Just tired." She said in a very depressed tone. Laura nodded and walked away a little concerned. Nigel called for the girls in his wonderful british accent. "Alright girls lets get started here." They got up and went over. They were now doing the first scene of the video, the accident. When they were done that they did another few shots of them singing togther.
'Here I am, I am here,
You don't have to worry anymore,
I will help you throughout all of this,
Cause I am your guardian Angel.'
Soon everything was done and they were aloud to go home to spend the next 6 days off from thier careers.

The week went by fast. Everyone really didn't see eachother for the whole break. On Sunday they all had to meet at the airport. Everyone was waiting for Brian and Elena. They were about 15 minutes late. Everyone sat on the chairs, half falling asleep. Elena and Brian finally showed up. Everyone stood up and started to walk to the Gateway. Nick walked next to Brian. "So Bri," Nick started, "where were you? Making out?" Brian rolled his eyes. Nick laughed. "Hmmm...what's that I smell? Did Elena's Bath & Body Works scent end up on you somehow? Is that Daffodil Fields?" Brian looked at him funny. "What? Nick, that is really sad that you know the names of womens scents." Nick shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, what of it? I got two teenage sisters, remember?" They continued to walk. Elena walked up to Nick and whisperd in his ear. "Actually, it's Cucumber Melon." Then she walked past him and started to talk to Laura. Nick wipped his head over and looked at Brian. Brian's face turned a little red.
Christina sat in her seat listning to her Disc Man. She was looking out the window of the plane waiting for it to take off. Nick sat down next to her. He smiled at her as she slipped her head phones off. "Hey what are ya listining to?" "Destiny's Child." She replied. He nodded his head. "So, what's up? You okay? You seem sort of, I don't know, not you lately." She shrugged her sholders. "I'm fine, really. Everyone keeps asking me if I am okay. I'm fine. I would tell you if something was wrong." She lied, but she couldn't tell him. Not yet. She gave him a fake smile as he kissed her on the fore head.
Laura looked at Drew who sat down next to her. "Um...sorry Drew. Gina's sitting there." He smiled. "Calm down. I don't bite. Besides, we traded seats. She wanted to sit next to AJ." Laura lowerd her eyes. "Oh, sorry." He shrugged his shoulders. "So, where's Matt?" Laura rolled her eyes. "You know his name is Pat, and he went to the bathroom. His seat is behind you." They were silent for a minute. Laura placed her hand on his arm. "Do you hate me for doing this to you?" Drew shook his head. "No, not at all. I hate myself for letting you go. I mean, I could of had you and I ignored it." Laura sighed. "I'm just trying to figure out my feelings for him." Pat returned with a bag of peanuts in his hand and Laura quickly moved her hand back onto her lap. Drew sttod up. "Pat, you can sit here so you can be next to Laura." Pat smiled. "Okay, thanks." Drew sat down behind him. He looked up to see Laura turned around and smiling at him. She sat back down and leaned her head on the back of the seat. She sighed to herself. 'Who do I want?' She looked over at Pat. He had his hand shoved in his mouth, picking th peanut off of his tooth. 'Ehhh.' She thought. She looked back at Drew. His eyes were closed and he was peacefully napping. Laura smiled.
AJ and Nick sat on the floor in Nick's hotel room playing Playstation. They were playing some racing game and Nick was kicking AJ's butt. When the game was over Nick took that out and placed in a football game. "So, what did you do on your time off?" Nick asked. AJ shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing much. Basically rested." Nick sat back down. "Break up with Amanda?" "No, Nick." Nick paused the game. "What? I thought you said you were gonna." "I was," AJ deffended himself, "I went over her house and all. I just couldn't do it." "Why? You don't love her anymore." AJ sighed. "I know. I just feel bad. We have been togther way to long." "Did you have sex with her went you went over?" Nick asked. AJ threw the paddle of the game down. "That's none of your business." "You did." It was more of a statement then a question. "I can't belive you AJ! Oh, wait! I get it now. Gina won't give it to you so you have to get it from Amanda, is that it? That's why you are keeping her around." AJ was standing now. "Shut the f**k up Nick! You wanna talk about women? How about you and all those sluts? Does Christina know? What was it, like 3 girls a day?" Nick was pissed. He got up and jumped on top of AJ. They feel on to the bed. Nick was punching him in the ribs as hard as he could. A few moments later Kevin ran in the room. He pulled Nick up off of AJ. "Jesus Christ! What the hell is going on?" AJ sat on the bed while Kevin held Nick back. Nick pushed Kevin away. "Get off Kev. I'm fine." Kevin chuckled. "Oh, I know you are. Mind telling me what is going on." "Ask the asshole." Nick yelled as he walked out the door. Kevin turned to AJ who was rubbing his side. "AJ?" AJ looked up. He smiled a little. "Geez, Nick isn't so little anymore, huh? He sure can punch." Kevin crossed his arms. "AJ, what was that all about?" AJ stood up. "Nothing. I can handle it." Kevin grabbed his arm before he could walk out the door. "Just make sure you talk to him. Remember, we don't want any conflicts on the stage." AJ rolled his eyes. "I know Kev." And he was out the door.
