***The Concert***
Troy tried his best to push through the dense crowd but was having trouble. he and some of the other security guards were all attempting to find Shauna and Tara in this mess. Who knew fans could get so crazy. Suddenly AJ's voice came on over the Micorphone. "Hey yall, back away and calm down and I will make sure I sign autographs for each and everyone of you. but you have to calm down now and back away so the security can do their job." He was hoping that this would get the mob off Shauna and Tara, which he had been informed about just before he got to his dressing room. luckily for him the crowd responded. Also lucky for him there were less than 100 there.
***Later***
"Jeez, my hand is going to fall off." AJ complained as he walked backstage with Shauna and Tara by his side.
"I'm sorry Alex. I didn't know that would happen."
"It's ok Shauna, listen I don't care that you two went out there, I just want to make sure you are safe. I love you two way too much to have anything happen to you. Ok?"
"It wasn't her fault AJ, I asked her if I could go out front." Tara said feeling bad even if AJ wasn't mad. She still felt shocked, panicked and scared from that.
"It's ok Tara Hun. we're all ok. Don't worry so much. Jeez you are starting to sound like my mother...Quit worrying so much."
"Ok well Alex, now that you are finished with you speech, go shower." Shauna told him as she pushed him away.
"What? No hug? No kiss? I'm hurt!" he said dramatically gripping his chest.
"You got it buddy, you STINK. So please shower before you make me sick." she said sarcastically.
"Ok, ok. I will be right back. But can I at least get a kiss before I go? I mean I did save your life tonight." he grinned.
"Well I suppose." she said stepping towards him. He took one step and was right in front of her. he leaned down slightly as he placed one hand on the back of her neck and the other on the small of her back.
"I love you." he whispered quitely to her.
"I love you too Alex, but right now you really stink!! Go shower and we'll see you on the bus."
***Later***
AJ and Shauna had decided to go to sleep early that night and Tara wasn't one bit tired and neither was Nick, so they decided they could play with Nick's Dreamcast in his bus for a little while. "So Tara, how do you like being on tour with us so far?" he asked not taking his eyes off the screen.
"It's only been one day but I love it. You guys are SO lucky. I would love to do something like this for a living."
"Well being on tour can be really lonely. Trust me, I get So home sick. I mean I miss the littlest things the most. Like being able to wake up to my mom cooking something tasty in the kitchen. Or being able to just go out and play basketball with my brother or one of my sisters whenever I want to. You know things that most people take for granted."
"Aw, what do you miss most at this very moment."
"I suppose I miss having some one to love right now. I mean like seeing AJ and Shauna; and Kevin and Kristin; and Brian and Leigh; together all the time makes me really wish I had that kind of thing with some one."
"Aw, that is SO sweet, but you are a loser."
"What??" he exclaiming feeling extremly offended.
"You Lost Buddy! I won, na na na na na." Tara laughed jokingly. Nick smiled as he watched her face light up as she laughed.
"You tricked me!!"
"I did not! I actually wanted to know that stuff."
"Well now It's MY turn to ask YOU questions." Nick shot back smiling.
"Ok, I guess it's only fair." she smiled.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Well Obviously I have one half brother, AJ. But that's all that I know of."
"How old are you now?"
"I am almost 18."
"Dang, you look older. I mean that as a compliment. I mean I was thinking you were a little bit closer to my age."
"You are only 21 Mister! So you aren't THAT much older than me."
"When is your birthday?"
"February 19th."
"Wow, that's right before Brian's. We're going to have to celebrate your and his birthday together. It'll be great."
"I don't know, I mean I don't expect you guys to do that. You hardly even know me. So I understand."
"Ah come on, don't be such a party pooper. Oh well, we'll figure something out. I have more questions."
"Ok, well that means I get to ask you more too because I haven't asked many."
"Ok Deal. So anyway, AJ told me you are in a performing arts school, and he has also said he wants to sign you on the label that we have Krystal on. KBHNA...You going to take him up on that offer?"
"I'm not sure yet. I mean I don't want to sign then turn out to hate the guy."
"Oh I doubt that'll happen. I mean I've been around J alot in these past 8 years, he can totally get annoying, but not to the point where you want to hate him."
"I don't think I'll hate him. I mean after what he did for me tonight, I was so scared out there."
"Yeah I heard that there was a huge mob scene. But it was back under control pretty quick. Just next time you should tap a security guard on the shoulder and make him go out to the pit with you. I am sure AJ was worried sick. But don't worry about it. We're all glad you two are alright."
"Thanks."
"So you getting home sick at all?"
"Not just yet. I suppose I will soon. What about you? Do you miss home?"
"Yeah, I miss my mom. I know it sounds immature, but my family means tons to me. Which now that you mention it, I think I'll call."
"Nick, wait, it's awfully late."
"It's only 11 their time, Mom doesn't mind as long as I don't do it all the time." he said as he dialed his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi mom, It's me."
"Nicky! How was your first show sweetie?"
"It went great. At the end Shauna and Tara totally got mobbed, but other than that everything was so great."
"I was expecting you to call earlier. I was hoping everything was alright."
"Everything is fine mom. I just miss you guys a lot so I needed to call. I can't wait to see you guys again."
"Well I am so glad to hear that son. Would you like to talk to your father Hon?"
"Yeah."
"Hey Son! How is life on the road?"
"Same ole' same old. I miss being home already. Are you near the speaker phone?"
"Yes, why?"
"Turn it on, I want you to listen to something."
"Ok." Robert said doing just as Nick had told him. Jane looked at him worriedly wondering what was happening.
"Mom, calm down, I just want you to hear this girl sing. It's amazing." he exclaimed. "Tara, would you sing something for my mom and dad?"
"No way!! You don't know what I sound like! No way, not ever."
"Ok ok, she is being shy right now, maybe I can get her to at least say hi." he said smiling. "Tara will you say hi to my mom and dad?"
"Sure, I guess I could do that." she said taking Nick's phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello Tara." Robert's voice boomed.
"Hello Tara. How are you dear?"
"I'm fine. Thanks."
"Nicky is being a good boy now isn't he?" Jane said sweetly.
"Oh of course." Tara replied trying not to crack up laughing.
***Later***
Tara was lying on the couch bed facing the foot of the bed with Nick's feet resting next to her head. They had been watching a movie together and fell asleep.
***AJ's Bus***
AJ woke expecting Tara to be back on the bus and was shocked to find she wasn't. Immediatly he called Nick's bus not sure what had gone wrong. He just knew he felt responible.
