~~~If You Knew What I Knew~~~
~~~~~~CHAPTER 7~~~~~~
Danielle walked down the hallway of the hotel. She stopped when she saw Kevin's door to his room wide open but no one inside. She looked on the floor and saw a piece of paper and what looked like Jessica's engagement ring. Danielle picked up the paper. Her eyes grew wide as she read it. She took the paper and the ring and left the room. She went into Brian's room. He sat on the bed, while Christina sat on Nick's lap in the chair and Elena and Karen sat on the opposite bed. Karen was talking. "...and so he kissed me." They all looked up at Danielle when she stepped in the room. "Guys, you better take a look at this." She gave the note to Brian and he read it out loud. "Where do you think he went?" Nick asked. Brian shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe he went to the airport after her." Said Elena. Brian folded the note up. "I hope he gets back soon. I'm really worried about him." They all got up to get ready to go to the arena. Danielle went in her room and got changed. She remembered she left her brush in Elena's room. She made her way down the hallway, once again stopping in front of Kevin's room. To her suprise, he was seated on the bed crying. She walked in quietly. "Kev?" She walked over to him and sat down next to him. He turned his head and cryed into her shoulder. Danielle wrapped her arms around him. Kevin rubbed his face. "Sorry." Danielle shook her head. "No, its fine." He layed down on the bed on his side. Danielle layed behind him and rubbed his arm as he cryed some more. "Its okay Kev, you don't have to talk about it." She layed her head down on his, expecting him to not say anything, but he started to talk. Danielle listened to him quietly. "I went to the airport to catch her. I was running like a wild man through the airport. I had no idea where I was going. And yet I found her sitting down all by herself. I couldn't tell if she was happy, sad or what?" He said inbetween sobs. He stopped for a few seconds and then continued. "She told me it was over. She picked up her bags and left. I let her go. How could I just stand there? I watched her walk out of my life. After her plain left I decided to come back here. What am I going to do?" He wiped his tears. "Danielle, can you tell Brian that I can't go on tonight?" Danielle nodded. "Sure. He can just tell the fans your sick." Kevin turned over to face her. She gave him a warm smile that made him smile back at her. "You better go get on the bus. But promise me we'll talk later." Danielle got up slowly. "Me? why?" He sighed. "I don't know. I just feel really comfortable being around you." Danielle smiled. "Okay, we'll talk later. Please get some rest." Kevin nodded and Danielle walked out the door.

A week went by. The day before Alison, Brian's girlfriend arrived. Elena was now waiting impatiently in the hotel lobby for Bill to arrive. She sat by herself sipping an iced tea. Everytime the door open she would look up quickly. Once again the door opened, but this time the person she was waiting for stepped in. Elena stood up and ran over to Bill. They wrapped their arms around eachother and kissed eachother. Bill smiled. "Wow, I almost forgot how beutiful you are." Elena rubbed her hands up and down his arms. "I have been missing you like crazy." Bill let go of Elena and picked up his bags. Elena started to lead the way to their room. Now that Bill was in town, Laura was sharing a room with Danielle. He unpacked his bags as he and Elena chatted. After he was done unpacking Elena grabbed his hand. "Come on, let me introduce you to the guys." She went acroos the hall and knocked on Brian's door. He opened it slowly. "Hey Bri." Elena said. "Hey. Oh hi, you must be Bill." Brian shook his hand. Alison stepped up behind him. "Hello Elena." Elena smiled. "Hi Alison, this is my boyfriend..." Alison interupted her. "Bill?" Bill's eyes grew wide. "Oh my God, Al?" They both hugged eachother. Brian stood there confused. "You two know eachother?" Alison nodded her head. "Yeah, me and Bill were highschool sweethearts. We were voted best couple of our senor class." Elena scratched her head. "This is to ironic."
Elena and Bill went into Brian and Alison's room and Bill chatted with Alison. Brian and Elena just sat there feeling very uncomfortable. Alison noticed and stood up and walked over to Brian. "Oh, I'm sorry honey. Bill, me and Brian planned on wtaching some movied together tonight." Bill smiled. "It's cool. Me and Elena can find something to do." To Elena it sounded like that was a chore for him. They both stood up and went back to their room. For some reason Elena felt like Bill was still in love with her. She quickly shook it out of her mind.

Everyone sat on the bus as it made its way to the arena. When they got off they all basically were walking together. Howie turned and smiled at AJ. "Yo AJ, listen to this joke, its great." He said as he held a laffy taffy in his hand. AJ groaned. "Aren't those things for kids?" Howie shrugged his shoulders and told the joke. "What did the man say when he walk into the bar?... Ya ready?...Ouch! Haha isn't that great?" AJ rolled his eyes. "Howie, don't ever become a comidian." Gina giggled a little. AJ stopped walking. "Wait a second. Did Gina just laugh at something I said?" Gina smiled and kept walking. "Don't get to full of yourself. It was just a giggle." Brian walked up to AJ. "Let it go. She don't like you." AJ shook his head. "Oh no. Did ya see the smile? She wants me. I can tell. I will get her." Brian rolled his eyes. "How will you do that?" AJ smiled and pointed at his head. "It's all up here. Ya gotta have a plan, ya know? Expecially with someone like her. She's a feisty one." Brian just laughed at him.
