Chapter 2



Nick pulled his cap down low and walked in the hardrock cafe. He noticed a girl standing alone to the side of the lobby. He walked up to her, thinking of what he was going to say.
"Hi, are you Jessica?"
"Yeah."
"Want to sit down?" asked Nick.
"Sure."
"Table for two," he said to the waiter. The waiter led them to their table and they ordered their drinks.
"So where are the other guys?" asked Jessica.
"Well," he said as he took off his hat and fixed his hair. "Brian and Kevin are in Kentucky. Howie and A.J. are at home here in Florida."
"When's your next concert?"
"Next Monday in Atlanta."
There was a short silence. The waiter brought them their drinks and took their orders. They both ordered hamburgers and fries.
"I love eating here," said Nick.
"I've only been her once before," said Jessica.
Nick watched her eating. She was different from other girls he had met. She seemed comfortable talking with him, and he was comfortable talking with her. She wasn't making a big deal about the fame thing either. And she was kind of cute. She noticed him looking at her. She smiled and blushed a little.
Even though they had talked on the phone the day before it was totally different being face to face with him. She thought of all the girls who would kill to be in her place. She wasn't even sure if he liked her, but he kept starting at her with his dreamy blue eyes.
They talked a little and finnished eating. He paid for the food, and they went outside. They sat down on a bench under a tree at the side of the resteraunt.
"What's your favorite song?"
"All I Have To Give."
He picked up her hand and started singing "All I Have To Give." Through the whole song she started into his eyes. They were so beautiful. He finnished the song with a kiss.
"That was great," said Jessica.
"Thanks," said Nick.
"How about we go to my house," said Jessica.
"Okay. Shoot, I guess we have to take seperate cars."
"Yeah."
They got in their cars and Nick followe Jessica to her house. when they got there they parked their cars and wen't inside.
"Hey, your answering maching is blinking," said Nick.
"Oh, thanks." Jessica wen't over and hit play.
"Hey Jessica, It's Michelle, call me when you get home. Bye."
The tape beeped and wen't to the next message. "Jessica, It's mom, your dad was in an accident. I'm at the hospital. As soon as you get this message come straight to the hospital. And be careful."
"Oh my god, this can't be happening," said Jessica. She started to grab her keys.
