“Are you serious?” Melissa shrieked.
“Yes, you girls are gonna be famous!” the man said.
16 year olds, Lisa, Tiffany, Melissa and Samantha hugged each other and jumped up and down. They ran out of the room and flew into their boyfriends’ arms.
“We did it!” Lisa cried.
“Congratulations!” Dave hugged her tighter.
“We’re gonna be touring with *N Sync!” Melissa cried.
“That’s great! That’s your dream!” Scott exclaimed.
They all hugged again.
“We have one disappointing thing.” Said Samantha.
“What’s that?” asked Bob.
“We’ll be apart for 2 months! We’re gonna be touring in Canada!” said Tiffany.
“When will you start touring?” asked Bob.
“We’re gonna be touring in 2 weeks, but we’re going to Ireland in a week with *N Sync.” Said Lisa.
“Well, I guess we’ll have to spend more time together!” said Dave, giving her a soft kiss.
“Let’s go to the park, ok?” asked Clint.
“Ok.” The others agreed.
On their way to the park, 4 teenage girls jogged towards them.
“Hi!” one of them said, “Can we have your autographs?”
“Sure!” Dave said, taking her pen and pad of paper.
Another girl turned to look at Lisa, Melissa, Tiffany and Samantha. “Oh my god! You’re Star Remedy!”
The girls screamed.
“Can we have YOUR autographs too?” the third girl cried. “We can’t wait till you go on tour! We’re sure to come to your concert!”
“Thanks!” Melissa smiled, taking her pen and paper.
“Thank you so much!” the girls cried. “Oh my god! We met the 2 hot groups! Oh my god!” they screamed.
They all laughed.
“Wow, I can’t believe that we already have fans!” Tiffany exclaimed.
“Me neither!” Samantha said excitedly.
“Get ready for fame girls!” Scott said.
Part Fifteen
“STAR REMEDY! WE LOVE YOU!”
“Wow! Check out that crowd!” Melissa said, when she peeked behind the curtain. Her red sequined tank top gleaming in the lights.
“Get used to it girls.” Lance said with a laugh. “Pretty soon you’ll have guys at your feet.”
Samantha laughed. She adjusted her green sequined tank top and her black bell bottom pants. “Yeah, but I have Bob.”
Lisa and Tiffany giggled.
“Get ready, our beautiful opening act!” JC said, giving each of the girls a hug.
“Thanks.” The girls replied before bouncing on the stage, doing flips.
“Hello everybody!” Melissa yelled through her microphone.
The crowd screamed.
They started to sing ‘One for Sorrow’, and ended with a series of back handsprings from Tiffany and Melissa.
The crowd was great! They cheered happily, giving each other grins when their name was called out loud by a fan… “I LOVE YOU LISA!”
Before Lisa got off the stage, a boy caught her eye. She glanced at her fellow band mates, but they were still waving and blowing kisses into the crowd. No one noticed her and the boy. The boy had dark eyes and dark brown hair, like Dave, but it wasn’t Dave. It was someone else. She looked at the boy again. He was staring at her. Lisa felt a tingle up her spine.
“That was great girls!” Joey said happily.
“Thank you!” the girls replied.
“Good luck.” Lisa said to the members of *N sync.
“That was so cool.” Samantha sighed happily.
“Um, did you noticed anyone?” asked Lisa.
“Anyone? What do you mean by that?” asked Tiffany.
“Like, a boy?” asked Lisa.
“A boy? No! I have Scott. You shouldn’t even think about that because you have Dave, and he’s really sweet. Don’t you dare thinking of having a fling!” Melissa cried.
“A fling? No! I just noticed a boy staring at me, that’s all.” Said Lisa.
“Ooh, a boy’s got a crush on you!” sang Samantha.
“What does he look like?” asked Tiffany.
“Well, he looks like him.” Lisa pointed.
“Oh my god, that’s Clay Goodell from Take 5!” Melissa cried.
“Really? The singer?” asked Lisa.
“Yeah!”
“Wow. Clay Goodell was checking you out. That’s weird.” Said Samantha.
“This is so weird. I mean, Clay Goodell?”
“Well, anything can happen in the music business.” Said Tiffany in her Clint voice.
They laughed.
At the sound of their laughter, Clay turned around. He started to walk towards the girls along with TJ, Stevie, Tilky and Ryan.
“Oh my god.” Whispered Melissa. “They’re coming.”
“Hey, I’m Clay. You girls were great out there.”
“Thanks.” Samantha said.
“By the way, we’re Take 5.” Said TJ.
“I know! I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I’m Melissa… also known as Ladymelissa on the net. You wrote me an e-mail!” (THIS WAS TRUE! TJ WROTE ME AN E-MAIL!)
“Hey, I do remember!” TJ cried. “Nice to meet you!”
“I’m Stevie and this is Tilky. You girls did a great job with those handsprings.”
“Maybe you could teach us sometime.” Added Tilky.
“Maybe.” Said Melissa with a sly grin.
“I’m Ryan.”
“Hi!” Tiffany said happily.
Clay glanced at Lisa. She was looking at the ground.
“Hey, I’m Clay. Lisa, right?”
“Yeah.” Lisa replied.
“Could I talk to you for a minute? Alone?”
“Sure.” With one glance to her band mates, Lisa followed Clay to the back of the stage.
“Do you want to go to the movies sometime? I mean we could just hang out or something.” Clay asked.
“No thanks.” Lisa replied.
“Why not?”
“Because I already have a boyfriend.”
“Really? Who?” asked Clay.
“Dave Moffatt.”
“HIM?”
“Yeah! Do you have a problem with that?”
“You could do better.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, Dave Moffatt is an ass. You could sure do better than him…if you’re with me.”
“Screw you.” Lisa said, turned and walked away, leaving Clay speechless. (GO LISA! HEHE!)
Part Sixteen
“What did he say to you?” asked Melissa.
“He asked me out, and he dissed Dave!” Lisa said angrily.
“He WHAT?” cried Melissa.
“He asked me out. Then he dissed Dave!”
“That’s it!” Melissa huffed over to Clay and started to yell at him. (Sorry to all Clay/take 5 fans! This is just a story! Clay is one of my favorites!)
“You bastard!”
Clay blinked. ‘Excuse me?”
“You heard me.” Melissa took a step closer to Clay, until they’re almost nose to nose. “Don’t mess with any of us.”
“Ooh, I’m so scared.”
“You should be.” Melissa turned around and started to walk back to Lisa.
“Wait!”
Melissa turned around, “what?”
“Does Lisa really have a boyfriend?” Clay asked.
“Yeah.” Melissa replied. “Dave Moffatt.” She turned around and walked back to Lisa.
“What happened?” Tiffany asked.
“Clay won’t mess with you anymore.” Melissa said.
“What did you say to him?” asked Samantha.
“I told him not to mess with us!” Melissa said.
The other girls laughed.
Lisa glanced at Clay, he looked back at her with sad eyes. She turned away.
“Lisa?” a voice whispered behind her.
Lisa turned around, and looked into TJ’s eyes. “Clay likes you.”
“I know.” Lisa groaned. “Life is complicated.”
“Do you all have boyfriends?” TJ asked.
“Yeah.” Lisa replied.
“That’s too bad.” TJ said, and walked back to his own group.
Chapter Seventeen
A month later…
Dave tossed and turned in his bed. He was having a nightmare. He bolted up on his bunk and hit his head on the bunk above him.
‘Oh my god. Something is wrong!’ Dave thought, panicking.
“Sarah?” he whispered. “I need you!”
Within seconds, Sarah appeared in front of him, concern in her eyes. “What’s wrong Dave?”
“Something is wrong with Lisa!”
Sarah looked puzzled. “I don’t sense anything, but I’ll look around and come back to you, ok?”
“Ok.” Dave sighed. He knows that something is terribly wrong with Lisa, but he doesn’t know what. All he knew was that Lisa was scared.
“Lisa? It’s time to wake up.” Samantha groaned, as she turned around in her hotel bed. “Lisa?” She looked over to Lisa’s bed. It was empty. “Lisa!” Samantha yelled. She went into the bathroom to look for Lisa. She wasn’t there. She dashed next door to Melissa and Tiffany’s room, hoping that Lisa would be in there. She pounded on the door.
Melissa rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Her face met Samantha’s frightened face.
“Is Lisa in here?”
“No, she’s not.” Melissa replied.
Tiffany walked towards the door. “What’s wrong, Sam?”
“Lisa’s missing. I don’t know where she is!”
“Oh my god.” Tiffany said.
Melissa dashed across the hall to Lance and Justin’s room, and knocked on the door.
Justin opened the door, wearing only boxers. Melissa’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
“Yes Melissa?” Justin asked.
Melissa shook her head, floating her mind back on Earth. “Lisa is missing.”
“What?” Justin cried. “What do you mean?”
“SHE’S GONE!”
Meanwhile…
Lisa groaned. Her head was throbbing. ‘What’s going on? Why is my head hurting? Where is everybody?’ she thought. “Samantha?” she asked.
“Hello Lisa.” Said a voice.
She knew that voice. It was her father’s. ‘Oh my god.’ Lisa thought. She opened her eyes. She saw her mother Elaine, her sister Donna, Chris, and her father…Adam.
“Chris was right. You are alive, and famous.”
“What are you doing?” Lisa asked.
“YOU BETRAYED US!” Adam yelled. He slapped Lisa hard in the face.
“OWW!” Lisa screamed. She turned to the others. They just stood and watched.
Lisa lunged for her father; he grabbed her hair and threw her against the wall. Her head hit the cement wall, and she fell down, unconscious.
“Dave! Dave!” Sarah yelled.
Dave rubbed his eyes. “Sarah! Did you find out anything?”
“Lisa was kidnapped by her family! Her father was totally abusing her! We’ve got to help!”
“I’ll get the others.” Dave ran to her father. “We have to go to Canada! Lisa is in trouble!”
The Moffatt family knew that Dave was a creative thinker, but they all trust him enough to believe him. They drove a van to Canada, and found out where the rest of Star Remedy was staying. They picked the three of them up.
Dave fell asleep. ‘Sarah, where should we go?’ he asked in his dream.
‘11212 12 Street.’ Sarah replied. ‘Hurry! The visions are getting worse!’
Dave woke up with a start. “Dad! Go to 11212 12 Street, and hurry!”
They drove to the house and crashed through the front door, with Dave (and Sarah) leading the way. After pushing away Elaine, Donna and Chris, the Moffatts finally made it to the basement, where Adam and Lisa were. They all watched in horror, as Lisa took a final blow to the head.
“NO!” Dave screamed, and ran towards his girlfriend. A hardcore punch stopped him. It was Adam. Dave fell to the floor, gasping in pain. Scott, Clint, Bob and Frank tackled Adam to the floor while Sheila called the police.
Dave carried Lisa’s limp body in his arms, his tears staining her face. He looked at Sarah’s sad face, which was sitting across from him.
‘It’s over.’ Dave thought sadly.
Part Eighteen…The End.
They all watched as Lisa’s coffin was lowered into the grave.
Dave knew that Lisa was his only love, and that he’d never forget her.
When the funeral was over, Dave walked to Lisa’s grave when everybody was gone. He kneeled down beside it and started to cry.
“Dave.” Said a voice. It sounded angelic, as if it was bells instead of the actual voice.
Dave looked up, and looked into Lisa’s dark brown eyes.
“Lisa.” He whispered hoarsely.
“I love you Dave, and we’ll always be together. Goodbye.”
“I love you too, Lisa.” Dave whispered. “Goodbye.”
Dave watched as Lisa’s spirit joined another white figure. He recognized the golden curls, and smiled. Lisa is gonna be ok. She has Sarah and her family to take care of her. And he knew, that he’s gonna be ok too, because Lisa and Sarah, are gonna take care of him. Until the day he died.
The End
Wasn’t that emotional? I’m kind of sad because the story is over, but I feel a lot better, because my gift to Lisa is finally completed. I need to get a tissue, so please, send all comments to ladymelissa@hotmail.com. Thank you.
