Chapter 10
"Oh my god!!" I
screamed as I got up off the couch.
"What
the fuck are you guys doin?" Brian screamed. Nick
struggled to
get
up,
and
I stood up quickly.
"Hey
Bri! Uh.. what's up?" Nick said, as he tried to change
the subject.
"Nick,
can I see you for a sec?" Brian said as he pulled Nick out
of the
door.
I just stood there, looking like a fool. I didn't know what the
hell
to
say or do. So, I just sat back on the couch. Nick and
Brian were
still
talking
outside-
"So,
Nick, what's up with you two?" Brian asked concerned.
"Well,
you, know, when I said I loved this girl, I really meant it.
Are
you
just
jealous or somethin?" Nick shot back at him.
"No,
why the hell would you think that? I'm your best friend, and I'm
happy
for
ya, man." Brian replied.
"Ok...
let me go back in the room and talk to Rachel. I bet she feels
really
embarassed."
***********back in the room**********************
"Hey
Rachel, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to make you feel
embarassed,
or
anything." He softly ran his fingers over my cheek, and
looked into my
eyes.
"
It's okay, Nick. Shit happens. "
"So,
where were we?" Nick asked, with a big grin. As he slid his
arm
around
me.
"
I think we were here." I said as I put my arms around his
neck, and
started
to
kiss him...................

AJ was chillin there,
waitin for the path to be cleared so he could go to
the
hotel.
"Yo,
Kev?" Aj asked, "when the hell is the path gonna get
cleared? Shit,
I've
been
waitin here for like an hour now!"
"
I don't know. The security said in about 10 minutes. Oh
well, let's
just
stay
in here and play a game of pool, so I can whoop your ass again!"
Kevin
said
jokingly.
"Fine,
whatever."

* * * *
My eyes got blurry, as I
sat up from the couch. I guess we had both fell
asleep.
Nick's heavy arm was around me, so I couldn't move. I heard
a
knock
at
the door, so mananged to get Nick's arm off me, and answer it.
"Hey,
Rae. We gotta get in the hotel. We finally have a cleared path,
so
get
your
stuff and wake Nick up so we can get outta here!" AJ said.
"Ok."
"And
oh yeah, what were you and Nick doin here for so long?" AJ
asked.
"Well,
it's none of your business!!" I shouted.
"Geez,
girl! Sorr-y!" He said and turned around to head out. I
turned
back
around
and kneeled down next to Nick.
"Nick,
honey, wake up." I whispered softly into his ear.
"Who,
wh- oh, is it time to go?" Nick asked.
"Come
on, get your stuff."
We walked out of the tourbus, to see hundreds of screaming fans,
with
signs
and
posters of the guys. I looked at them, and they looked back
at me
with
anger
in their eyes. I just looked back ahead, concentrating on
what was
in
front
of me. The security guards pushed them back, and we hurried
on our
way
to
the hotel. We finally got in, and went up to our room.
****************
"In the room"*********************
Me and Nick shared a
room, and Brian and the rest of the guys got their
own.
I
turned on the TV, MTV of course.
"You
know, do you feel right about this?" I asked him.
"What?
About us sharing a room?" He asked.
"Yeah,
I'm definitely fine with it, but what about you?">
"Hell
yeah!" He said.>
"Ok,
just making sure."
We
both turned around and watched the TV. It was 9:00, and
Total Request
Live
was
about to come on. Me and Nick were talking about something, when
suddenly
in
the backround we heard Carson Daly talking,
"And
in the number one spot today *again* , no one other than the
Backstreet
Boys!"
Carson shouted. "with their single "All I Have To Give."
"Ha,
that's cool." Nick said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah,
hey, let's watch the little emails go across the screen and see
what
the
fans write." I asked.
"Ok,"
he replied.
We
watched the TV, and It was at the beginning when Nick had the
lead. I
turned
to see Nick smiling at the TV as he watched himself singing.
It
must've
been weird to see yourself on TV singing, but I guess he felt ok
with
it.
All of a sudden, an email ran across the bottom of the TV screen.
It
read
:
"HEY,
I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST "ALL I HAVE TO GIVE" BY THE
BACKSTREET
BOYS,
BECAUSE
I GOT A CHANCE TO MEET THEM BACKSTAGE…" I closed my
eyes for a
minute,
and
thought of Mandy, sitting there in Kentucky. I had completely
betrayed
her,
and I was the one who didn't like the Backstreet Boys in the
first
place,
and
she was the one who brought me to meet Nick. I felt so guilty.
"…..WITH
MY
FRIEND
RACHEL PIRACINI, WHO IS NOW GOING OUT WITH NICK CARTER AND SHE IS
IN
WASHINGTON
WITH HIM . WELL ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS RACHEL, IF YOU'RE THERE,
THANKS
A LOT FOR BEING A "FRIEND" AND LEAVING ME HERE, AND
EVERYBODY ELSE
THAT
IS
WATCHING, NICK AND RAE ARE OFFICIAL! BYE! -ANONYMOUS,
KY" I froze.
I
looked
at Nick who had his mouth wide open in shock. I couldn't believe
she
did
that.
"Oh
my god. What the fuck is her problem? I can't believe her."
Nick
said
with
anger in his eyes. I looked at him. He looked like he was
going to
kill
someone.
"What
am I going to do?" I asked him.
"Well,
I have no idea what to do at this point."
