Drew and the other guys from 98º were shortly over at Howie's house pounding on the door. Beth opened the door.
"Whoa! Hi! Did we come to the wrong house? We were looking for Brian Littrell," Jeff said, stunned.
Beth decided to play it off. "Ohmigosh! You mean the BACKSTREET BOY!!!! And you guys are from 98º, aren't you? I love you guys!!" she screeched in mock excitement. All the guys from 98º plugged their ears. "Oh, yeah, B-Rok's here. We're all here at Howie's," she then said like she had never screamed before. This got the guys even more confused, but they came in to see everyone.
"Hey, man!" Brian quickly said as he greeted Drew, then acknowledged the other guys.
"Dude! Hey, Rok. You okay after today?" Drew asked. He was concerned and felt guilty about running away and ditching him.
"Yeah, it's all cool. Don't sweat 'bout it," Brian said, quickly washing away Drew's guilt.
"So what's up with everyone?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, and who's the wannabe teenybopper?" Nick Lachey added.
Everyone laughed a somewhat relieved laugh. They all caught up on each other and got to know Kevin's old friend better.
