| Chapter 10 |
Elizabeth’s POV
I was hanging out in Aaron and Nick’s room, because I really didn’t want to be around Laura. The last time we fought, we were like 7, and it was over crayons; lame. I had gone to the lobby for candy. Whenever I felt crappy, Laura and I would pig out on chocolate and wallow in self-pity. Now I had no one to help me with my problems. She was my big sister, even though we were the same age. I felt a tear start its trail down my face. I wiped it away and went and waited for the elevator. Standing right next to me was Laura. I tried not to look at her, I hoped she could not see my watery eyes. I stepped into the elevator, wishing I took the stairs. Standing in the corner I was as far way as I could be from Laura before I could jump out of the box of steel.
All of a sudden the box shuddered. I went down to my knees, freaking out, the tears that I held, finally spilling over. Laura walked over, slowly, when she reached my huddled figure she sat down next to me, pulling me down so I was sitting instead kneeling. She rubbed my back, trying to comfort me. My sobs and pitiful wails subsided.
“Laura” “Liz” We both said at the same time. We both laughed.
“Liz, I’m sorry I over reacted. But seeing you come out of the shower, in a towel, with Aaron. That was a little surprising. It was funny, to bad it couldn’t have happened in front of Kev. That would have been perfect. Even though he is already pissed at the both of you.”
“Laura, sorry about blowing up at you. But it was harmless. I guess it would have been better if you and Nick weren’t in the room, but Kevin. All the more reason to go back into the bathroom, lock the door and start kissing Aaron when he is in his cute little smiley face boxers”
“Way to much information Liz,”
“Ha, like Nicky doesn’t have a pair like ‘em, I remember you buying them for him.”
“Oh, yeah. We both went shopping because you had way to much money to much money to spend and I was bummed because of a stupid math test or was it Spanish.”
“Whatever it was, I got a good score and you didn’t”
“Shut up.”
Finally the elevator started to move upwards and we stood up. When the doors opened all the guys stood there. Worry etched on their faces. Laura and I shared a look. We nodded and ran to our room, grabbing the soda that Nick still held. Locking the door we jumped on our beds.
Laura’s POV
I was happy to be back on good terms with Liz. We were sitting in our hotel room watching Armageddon, and hyper beyond belief. Guess we shouldn’t have eaten ALL the candy we found. Oops? We were jumping on our beds, singing, if anyone had walked in at that time, they would have thought that we were dunk off our asses.
“You make me sick!” we screamed falling down on our beds after singing Pink’s ‘You Make Me Sick’.
“Girl! We gotta do this more often!” I told her.
“Bet your biscuits we do!”
“I got biscuits?” that just sent us into fits of laughter. I told ya, we were overly hyper. We staggered around the room, until we got bored. Then we started spinning around in circles, but that soon ended when we fell down out of dizziness.
“Hey, wanna go find those, um, what are they called? Ya know, the ones your kiss, and hug, and all that crap?”
“Boyfriends?” Elizabeth questioned.
“YES! Those people!” We then grabbed our room keys and bounced, literally, down to Nick and Aaron’s hotel room. I knocked on the door, and when I saw Brian answer it, me and Elizabeth’s eyes light up as we saw two freshly made beds.
“DUDE!!” I screamed, running over jumping on one of the beds.
“Man, I think your girl is drunk,” Brian told Nick.
“Yeah, so do I, but hey! If ya can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!” Nick said, climbing onto the bed with me and began jumping up and down on it. Well, that lasted all of 2 minutes, when I knocked him down and started making out with him. Oh how I loved doing that!
“Nick!!!!” I heard Kevin yell at my boyfriend. Damn it, why did someone always have to interrupt us?
“Oh hey Kevy!” I said coming out from under Nick’s lips. “How are you this fine evening?” I said pushing Nick off, standing up and straightening my clothing.
“You! My room! Now!” He yelled at me. Damn, here we go again!
Elizabeth’s POV
Laura made the move to follow Kev while I sat next to, well on top of, Aaron. Both of us were in a really deep kiss, when I was swung around and put on the ground. I bounced up and followed Kev as he grabbed both Laura and my arms and marched us into his room.
We walked into his room and saw the nicely made bed. We shared the look and ran over, jumping on the bed messing it up…pissing Kev off more.
“Get off the bed and sit on the couch….NOW!” Oh he was pissed. We sat ton the couch, puppy eyes ready and working.
“Turn off the puppy eyes…they don’t work, ask Nick or Aaron. When Brian and myself offered to take care of you guys, we thought: Hey it won’t be that hard. They’re girls, more mature, if we handled Nick, we should be able to handle themselves…I was wrong….” He continued to speak but I wasn’t paying attention. I guess I had the same reaction to him as I did to my teachers. When they spoke I fell asleep.
Laura POV
“Uh Kev, we’re not that mature. I mean, we’re only 13…” I pointed out to him.
“Excuse me?” Kevin asked, his eyes bulging out of his head.
“What? I said we’re only 13,” I pointed out. Liz obviously wasn’t paying any attention, she was doing what she does in school, sleep with her eyes open.
“Does Nick know that?”
“I would hope so, unless everything I say goes in one ear and out the other. I mean, yeah, I do have my mature moments, ok, so I’m more mature than AJ and Brian are, but that’s not too hard. I’ve been around little people my whole life; it comes naturally. I’ve always had a more mature outlook, and attitude. Sorry, but you’re just gonna have to deal with the fact that we’re 13, and more mature than your own cousin,” I knew that would hit a soft spot, and I saw it in his eyes. So I continued, he was pissing me off. “And ya know what, you’re not my father, and even if you were, I don’t give a flying fuck what the hell you say, if I wanna make out with my boyfriend, I’m going to! It’s not like we’re have sex or anything! So suck and go fuck a kangaroo!” I said, grabbing Elizabeth and stamping off back to our rooms. I couldn’t believe he had the nerve to tell me that I was immature because I was making out with my boyfriend.
“God damn him!” I yelled falling down onto my bed, closing my eyes. I heard a knock at the door, but refused to answer it. “Liz, get the fuckin’ door!” I was in no mood for company.
“Baby,” I felt someone lay down next to me. I knew who it was, Nick. I didn’t answer him, I just turned over and put my head on his chest. He put his arms around me, and I began to cry. The touring, Kevin, being away from my parents, it was all getting to me, and I wasn’t able to handle it. “Shh, it’s ok baby, calm down,” Nick said rubbing my back. After about 5 minutes I was calm, and ready to talk.
“Nicky?” I asked looking up at him, my eyes bloodshot, and my cheeks tear stained.
“Wha?” he said whipping away the remaining tears.
“Why is Kevin such as dip shit?” I asked him. That only made him laugh.
“I don’t know baby, I wonder the same thing all the time.”
“When you find out, will you please share with me?”
“Sure, anything you want.”
“Thankies. Now can we continue from where we left off before we were rudely interrupted by Mr. Shithead himself?” he never answered, just kissed me. We made out for another hour or so, until someone knocked on the door… again. “Dipshits,” I muttered getting off of Nick to answer the door.
“Whatta ya want? I was in the middle of a very important conversation with my darling boyfriend,” I said opening the door to reveal AJ.
“Save the crap, don’t worry I won’t tell Kevin,”
“Think I give a rat’s ass what he says?”
“No I know you don’t, especially after you lovely comment. What was it again? Oh yes, ‘Go fuck a kangaroo’. Where did you come up with that?”
“Dunno, don’t care. I know you’d try it, but don’t, I need you to take my future children to the zoo sometime, when I’m pregnant with the next,” I said lying back down on the bed, cuddling with Nick. “Dude, shut the door please!”
“Pregnant? You?” A half-awake Nick asked.
“No Nicky, not yet. Go to bed sexy.”
“Sex?”
“No Nick, we’re not having sex. Now go to sleep.”
“Can we later?”
“No Nicky, go to bed!”
“Ok,” he said turning over and resting his perfect head on the pillow.
“She’s got you whopped!” AJ called to Nick.
“Yes I do, and I’m damn proud of it. Now wanna go get food? I’m starving,” I asked AJ now that Nick was asleep.
“Yeah, let me tell D what we’re doing,” he said picking up the phone. I took that time to write Nick a note where we were going to be, and redid my lip-gloss.
“Ready?” AJ asked me.
“Ready as I’ll ever be, let’s go,” I said grabbing my room key and some cash. With that AJ and I went to find somewhere to eat, bumping into Elizabeth and Aaron on the way.
“Hey peeps, wanna come with us to Mickey D’s?” I asked the two. They shared a look and began to run ahead of us out and into the elevator.
“That a yes?” AJ called down the hall. “Hop on, let’s go find the two lovebirds.” He was too cute, so I did just what he said, I hoped on his back, “Damn girl, how much do those shoes weigh? Cause I know you don’t weigh that much!” I laughed, We then off to find Elizabeth and Aaron. Once we got to the elevator and pressed the button for it to come, I jumped off AJ’s back, and waited, only to see a tall blonde, and some tangled chestnut hair peaking out from behind him. Me and AJ looked at each other, “Liz and AC” we said at the same time.
“Yo! Cool the hormones!” I yelled at the two.
“Take you own advice!” I heard someone say behind me. I turned around to see Kevin with Julianna in his arms.
“Kiss my ass!” I said walking into the elevator shutting it in his face, I was not in the mood to be around him.
Elizabeth’s POV
I really wasn’t asleep, well I was dozing. I did wake up to hear the part about us being 13. It was true, Laur was around younger people a lot and had to be mature. When we went back to our room, she fell on her bed balling. Just then there was a knock. I got up, because knowing her, she would not have answered it. Thank god it was Nick, if it wasn’t, and it was Kev I would have called one of the boys or security.
I walked out, leaving Nick and Laura to have time to themselves. Walking down the hall I passed Kevin. I gave him the finger and went into Aaron’s room.
“Hey, you know I could have been undressed in here.” Aaron told me as I entered without knocking.
I smiled, “All the more reason to come in.” We talked for a bit and started to play our unfinished game of tonsil hockey. Someone knocked on the door. I got up and ran into the bathroom, fixing my cloths and turning on the TV. When I came out it was AJ and Laura. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Aaron, leaning on his shoulder while he played with my hair. They asked if we wanted to go to Mickey D’s.
Laura’s POV
We were back on the bus, again. How fun! It was about 8pm and we still hadn’t eaten… Brian offered to make us something, but you never wanna eat food made by Brian, he can cook just about as good as I could. Let me tell you… if Brian ever gives you food he made, run… run fast.
“Howie, could you please ask Comadona, if we could stop at Mickey D’s? I’m hungry,” I asked Howie politely. All he did was crack up laughing and eventually fell of his chair.
“What did you just say?” Brian asked.
“Um… Howie, could you please ask Comadona, if we could stop at Mickey D’s? I’m hungry?”
“Yeah, I got that much, but what does Coma-donut mean?”
“Comadona?” *midwife*
“Yeah, that word,”
“For me, Howie, and Liz to know, and you never to find out. Unless of course you get a hold of a Spanish dictionary.”
“NOT FAIR!” he whined. I just stuck out my tongue and went to check of Howie, he left the room to go sit in his bunk, how fun.
“HowHow, ¿usted es los ok?” I asked the blob rolling on the floor, otherwise known as Howard Dorough himself. *Howhow, are you ok?*
“Si, si…” *Yes, yes,*
“Efectivamente?” *Sure?*
“Si,” he said getting up. *Yes*
“Usted el ok?” *You ok?*
“Si, yo apenas tenía un momento,” *Yes, I had a moment*
“Por favor pregúntele?,” I asked him. Having conversations in Spanish was fun. *Ask him please*
“Dígale al chófer,” *Tell the driver*
“Multe” *Fine* I replied walking to the front of the bus. “Can you stop at the next Mickey D’s please?” I asked the bus driver sweetly.
“Did AJ bribe you to say that?” he smirked.
“No, I’m hungry and want my Mickey D’s,”
“Ok, then I’ll stop at the next I see,” he replied.
“Thank you,” I said kissing his cheek. See, I can be sweet… when I want to.
“Senor Cabeza de mierda, jugadas burro, ahora!” *Senora Shit head, move your ass now* I said walking over to my bunk.
“Kev, she said move your ass,”
“Laura, talk in English please, you’ll get more accomplished,” Kevin said trying not to yell.
“Muérdame” *Bite me*
We stopped at Mc Donald’s about 10 minutes later, and I still refused to talk to Kevin in English. “Brian, get the fires out of your nose, Laura don’t squirt Howie with the ketchup, Liz don’t you dare throw that nugget out the window, AJ don’t smush that burger into Nick’s back, Aaron get the straws out of your ears, and Nick if you even think about pouring that soda onto your brother’s head, I’ll kill you and I’m sure Liz will be more than willing to help!” Kevin called from the entertainment room where he was feeding Julianna, as we ate in the kitchen area
“Bese mi asno,” *Kiss my ass*
Elizabeth’s POV
Speaking in Spanish did have its perks but Howie understood it. Hey, then we couldn’t say too much. I am so much I taught myself some * good * words in Italian. Okay, so I’m an Italian Jew. I wandered into the back where the guys were watching a football game…figures.
“Cheer, cheer, cheer. Yell, yell, yell. Who cares who wins, we're all going to Hell.” I said with no enthusiasm what so ever. Laura laughed at that, we had seen Daria way to many times.
“Exactly!” Howie yelled from the front.
“OMG! A male agreed with us! Hell froze over!” Laura screamed.
“What the Boston Red Socks won the World Series? Does that mean we get to go ice skating?” I asked confused.
“They will never win hahaha!” Nick joined our conversation.
“"Scalfiscali idiot! Chiuda la vostra presa che non dobbiamo sentirli! Ho bisogno della mia medicina felice! Howie è un lover spagnolo...... Brian sicuro, introito che cucina le lezioni! Voi succhiate alla cottura, non avete preso l'cEc domestica a scuola? Che cosa il hell voi ha ottenuto in esso? Attenda, io non devono sentirli. Kevin, tira il libro macchina dal vostro asino... che non è... AJ molto diventante vostro un freak, mantiene i vostri capelli multi-colored assenti da me, voi lo spaventa... ma hey guardate Bambi...” ~"Nick you idiot! Shut your trap we don't need to hear it! I need my happy medicine! Howie is a Spanish lover...sure...Brian, take cooking lessons! You suck at cooking, didn't you take Home Ec in school? What the hell did you get in it? Wait, I don't need to hear it. Kevin, pull the log out of your ass...it isn't very becoming...AJ your a freak, keep your multi-colored hair away from me, you scare me...but hey you watch Bambi…”~
“What the hell did she just say?” Kevin asked.
“"Kevin è dumbass.. che non gradisce me e Laura che hanno un rapporto molto buon con i nostri boyfriends. È molto stupid e dovrebbe andare al hell." ~"Kevin is a dumbass...He don't like me and Laura having a very good relationship with our boyfriends. He is very stupid and should go to hell."~
“Okay she said something about me and hell. Great now I have two people talking in languages I don’t know…”
“Haha, quello è di destra. Ora posso dire che lo stuff medio circa voi e nessuno noterà.” ~”Haha, that's right. Now I can say mean stuff about you and no one will notice...” I continued to tell Kevin off in Italian and laugh with Laura on what she said, and telling her some things I said, minus the Nick part.
“I want to go to Mickey D’s.” I whined as we passed a signed talked about a Kiddie Playground.
“Aaron shut your girl up now before I strangle her.” Kevin told him. I still hadn’t said anything in English to him and it was pissing him off. Aaron leaned over and kissed me, sticking his tongue into my mouth. Kevin tried not to look at us, but that was hard because we were in the middle of the floor. Just then Brian walked in, with his cell phone glued to his ear.
“I love you too Leighanne. You and Kristin are coming out in a few days right? Just want to warn you two, we have the Carter’s girlfriends here. They’re sweet… most of the time. Oh and Kris, they really don’t like your husband. I don’t know why, but they don’t talk to him in English. Laura talks to him in Spanish and Liz in Italian. Yeah, Laura is Nick’s girlfriend. They are not the hormonal ones surprisingly; it is Liz and Air-boy. Oh god… they were making out and now they are shooting daggers at me. See ya! I love you and hopefully I will still be alive and Kev will be too.”
Laura’s POV
We were on our way to pick up Leighanne and Kristen from the airport. They both seemed relatively cool, and hopefully Kristen could get Kevin to stop PMSing… I know, I know, guys don’t PMS, but like Liz said, all hell has frozen over, and Kevin is PMSing. Life on the Backstreet Boys’ tour bus… hell on earth!
Well, Brian is bouncing around the bus, hyper because Leighanne is coming, Kevin is camped out in his bunk, too pissed to talk to anyone, AJ and Julianna are watching his precious Bambi, then that leaves Liz, Aaron, Nick, and me… alone and bored. Not a good combination for the 4 of us. “What now?” Aaron asked laying on the floor staring up at the ceiling.
“Interesting?” I asked him.
“What?”
“The ceiling…”
“Oh, yeah, very. So what are we gonna do?” That was met with silence.
“Ok! Well then! We’re gonna be at the airport in about 5 minutes… wanna play truth or dare?” Nick suggested.
“No, not enough time… N64?” I asked.
“No, thank you, a very pissed Kevin ripped it out of the TV and threw it out at the last rest stop,” Nick sighed, remembering his precious N64.
“Whoops?” I said.
“Suck it up, I know you got at least 5 more at your house,” Kevin said coming into the entertainment room and sitting down next to me. I shared a glace with Elizabeth, who in turn looked at Aaron as I looked at Nick, “Uno, dos, tres!” I screamed, at that moment, Elizabeth and I both climbed on top of our boyfriends, and started a heated make out session. But about 2 seconds later, Liz and I were both being pulled apart from our boyfriends by our shirts, and being lifted off the ground. I turned and saw a very pissed off Kevin, holding onto my shirt. Bastard… to get him to put us down, I bite his hand… oops?
“Ugh! You bitch!”
"¡Fuck fuera de usted el asswhole! No es mi falta que usted no puede ponerse, y consigue todos los pissy debido a eso. ¡VAYA FUCK UN PATO, y entonces, consiga una vida! ¡Yo no sé por qué el infierno los fucking de Kristen se lo casaron! ¿Ella era bebido que ella no era? ¡El alma pobre!" * Fuck off you asshole! It's not my fault you can't get laid, and get all pissy because of that. GO FUCK A DUCK, and then, get a life! I don't know why the hell Kristen fucking married you! She was drunk wasn't she? Poor soul!*
"¡Laura, mire que el idioma!" *Laura, watch the language!* Howie said walking into the room.
“Fuck fuera de" *Fuck off* I told him, and stamped off the bus, now that we were at the airport. Everyone soon caught up to me. It was funny to look at them actually, they all had on different hats, baggy sweat shirts, and Nike pants. You’d think they’d get better disguises wouldn’t you? Well, I shouldn’t say they were all like that, Aaron did have on one of those disguises they always use on TV, you know the ones with the fake nose, bold glasses, and mustache? Well, that would be what was on the poor boy. Well, fans saw us, and we had to run back to the bus. Damn fans! Kevin and Brian sent security out to get their wives… poor souls, one was married to a 3 yr. old, and the other to an ass… poor poor souls!
Brian was bouncing around the bus singing Blink’s ‘What’s My Age Again’, Aaron and Liz were watching Barney with Julianna, Nick and AJ were playing cards… weird ass people, Howie was on the phone with one of his relatives, yet again, which left me and Kevin staring at each other from across the little coffee table in the entertainment room. Kristen, please, come, soon!!! Soon my prayers where answered, and in walked Mark, one of the security guards, Leighanne, and Kristen.
I ran over to Kristen and handed her a pair of salad tongs, “Please remove the log from your husband’s ass!” I pleaded to her.
“He that bad?” She asked me.
“YES!” I told her. “I’m Laura,” I introduced myself.
“Kristen.” She was so nice, what the hell was she doing with that hard ass? “Now I gotta go find that log,” she said pinching the two ends of the tongs together, and going to find the hard ass himself… Kevin Richardson.
I walked over to Leighanne and Brian who were sitting on the couch cuddling. “Hey, Leighanne, You knew Brian likes Barney and Blue’s Clues, *before* you married him right?”
“Really? Bri, I thought we were over that stage!” she laughed.
“Leigh, that’s Laura, Kevin’s watching her and her sister while their parents are away.” Brian said introducing the two of us.
“Cool, but who’s your sister?” she asked me.
“Jules!” I called, bringing Elizabeth carrying Julianna into the room.
“You bellowed?” Liz said giving Julianna to Brian, who in turn started to play with his hair.
“Nothing, Leighanne, that would be my sister on your husbands… hair. Julianna, say hello to Leighanne.”
“Hi Weewanne!” she said climbing off of Brian and onto Leighanne, kissing her cheek.
“Hi Julianna. How are you?” she smiled.
“Howie you?”
“I’m good. Do you like it here?”
“Uh huh! I get to be wif Bwian! Bwian my boyfend!”
“Oh he is, is he?”
“Uh huh! I wuv my Bwian!” she said going back to Brian and kissing his head. “Bwian, I wuv you!”
“I love you too sweetie. But you see here?” he asked pointing to Leighanne.
“Uh huh, she nice. I wike her.” I just laughed. I’m glad she liked Leighanne, now could she accept that the two were married?
“Well, she’s my wife.”
“Wife? What dat?”
“That means their married sweetie. He’s her permanent boyfriend.” I pointed out.
“O man! Weiwanne, can he be my boyfend too?” she asked, giving Leighanne her best puppy dog eyes.
“Promise you’ll share?” she asked.
“Yes,”
“Pinky swear?” she asked holding out her pinky to Julianna.
“Pinky wear,” she said hooking her pinky with Leighanne’s.
“Oh, and Leigh, that’s Elizabeth. I’m watching her for the rest of this week and the next. Her parents are with Laura’s.”
“Sure. Wait, are these Nick’s and Aaron’s girlfriends?”
"Dat be them,” Nick said walking into the room, wrapping his arms around my wait. I leaned back and kissed him. “Hey Leigh,”
“Hey Nick. Brian, you made them sound like some sex crazed monsters. They are far from that.”
“Finally! Someone who speaks the truth!” Elizabeth called out. Soon almost everyone were in the small entertainment room, talking. It was Aaron, Liz, AJ, Brian, Leighanne, Howie, me on Nick’s lap, then Kristen. The only one we were missing was Sir Cranky Pants, not that anyone missed him!… Damn, I spoke too soon. In came Kevin, and of course, he had to sit down next to me! FUN, FUN, FUN!
"¿Usted sacó el leño todavía de su asno con las tenazases de la ensalada? O es la manera inmóvil a allí?" *Did you take the log out of your ass with the salad tongs yet? Or is it still way up there* I asked Kevin.
“I think Kristen got it out for him. Didn’t you?” Howie asked.
“What? The log, no, it’s too far up. I’ll try again later,” Kristen replied.
“Thankies! Now we can all live in peace,” I announced. "¿Ese derecho no es Kevin?" *Isn’t that right Kevin?”* I asked, knowing it would piss him off. My work here is done!
“Guys, cool it. We have another 10 minutes on the bus and that’s it. Please stop, we’ll soon be at the hotel, and then we only have one more concert. Then we get to go home. Ok? So chill,” Brian said.
“Oo Big Boy, now aren’t we? Trying to control everyone!” Aaron smirked.
“Liz, shut him up?” I asked. So she did. They ended up rolling on the floor, making out. Ha ha ha! Yet another way to piss of Kevin, how I love being me!
We soon arrived at the hotel, I grabbed my duffle bag, Julianna’s backpack, and Julianna’s hand. They guys were smart, this time they told the fans they would be staying in a hotel on the other side of town, they claimed to tell them because “we want to be able to see all of you who can not come to the concert”. Ha! What bull… I feel bad for the fans though… poor teenyboppers. We had this last concert to do and then we got to go “home”. It was a charity concert with 98 degrees, Aaron Carter, Jessica Simpson, and of course, BSB performing. Elizabeth and I were excited because 98 degrees would be there. Do you have any clue how hot they are?
“Leigh, Kris! Can we go now?” I called down the hall of the hotel. Thank god we had the whole floor, and it was covered with security. The guys and Aaron were already at the venue. Me and Liz were all decked out in our Backstreet Boys and Aaron Carter apparel. Liz wrote ‘I luv u, Aaron’ on a big poster board, and I wrote ‘Nick, I’m pregnant!’ on another piece of poster board. We had made the signs the night before in our hotel room. Leighanne and Kristen had gone out for us and gotten supplies. They were decorated in glitter, hearts, sparkles, and everything else you could think of. We couldn’t wait to see their faces when they walked on stage.
Soon we were at the venue, we had front row seats, right in the middle. Perfect… I could see their faces oh-so-clear. Ha ha, I can’t wait. Liz and I climbed onto the stage about 10 minutes before the concert was going to begin… we did what we had practiced the night before… embarrassing not only the Backstreet Boys, but also Aaron, and 98 degrees.
“OO NICKY, YOU’RE SO FINE, YOU’RE SO FINE, YOU BLOW MY MIND! HEY NICKY! HEY, HEY, HEY NICKY! WOAH!” we sang. This was all being taped for par per view too… oops?
Elizabeth’s POV
I loved the looks on the Boys faces. Nick looked like her was about to faint, Aaron was smiling, Kevin looked like he was going to kill both Aaron and Nick. The other 3 were laughing and trying to hold Kevin back. 98 degrees were just confused. During the Boys performance they sang I’ll Never Break Your Heart. Nick wanted to bring his love up so Laura went up. Both Leighanne and Kristen were up there too. I saw the smile and happiness of being up on the stage. Laura was so lucky, she wasn’t that shy, unlike me who hated being the center of attention.
The next act was Aaron. Laura had been down in the audience for at least two songs and we were swaying with the music. So far he had sung Crazy Little Party Girl, Get Wild, Crush On You, My Internet Girl. When he was in the middle of MIG Mark came down and told me Aaron wanted me for his last song. I jumped over (with some help) the metal boundary and went behind the stage.
“Hey everyone! As you saw when my brother preformed, he brought his girlfriend, Laura up. Now I want you to meet the sweetest girl in the world. She’s my own girl and here is ELIZABETH!” I walked out, blushing, suddenly aware of what I was wearing and what I had written on my arms.
“I see you every day and I can't seem to think…” he started to sing. I was lost in the music, mouthing along with the words, not really hearing them, I was studying Aaron, his eyes open, alert looking at me with pure adoration in his eyes. When he finished I had tears in my eyes. He kissed my cheek, I pouted.
“I want to make-out now but Kev would kill us both and 98 degrees have to get on and then Jessica has to go on. Then we get to go to a fancy restaurant and relax.” He whispered as we walked off the stage. Both Laura and I had a great time for the rest of the concert, singing along.
After the concert after everyone had changed all 11: Kev, Kristen, Brian, Leighanne, Nick, Laura, AJ, Jules, Howie, Aaron and myself, went downstairs and into a waiting limo taking us to a fancy Italian restaurant. I ordered shrimp scampi, loving past and shrimp. We had a good time and Kev didn’t even try to separate Aaron and myself. I like having Kristen here, she has a great sense of humor and gets Kev to act normal, for him anyway.
The next morning I woke up with a sick feeling to my stomach. Running into the bathroom I vomited up all I had the night before, and after that I kept vomiting. Laura walked in and saw me puking my guts out. I stopped for a minute and looked at her, wishing the torture would stop.
Laura’s POV
The concert was a blast. Liz and I got to act like the teenyboppers we were, and no one had a problem with it. I still couldn’t believe Nick’s face; it was priceless. We had just gotten back from dinner with 98 degrees. I was sitting in between Nick and Drew Lachey, trying to control my urges to pinch their asses, well; you can guess how well I controlled those! ::rolls eyes:: Oops? Well, Jessica thought it was funny and my boy looked jealous. Poor Nicky.
I walked into our hotel room to get changed, and saw the bathroom light on, being curious, I walked over and saw Liz puking her brains out. She looked up at me with a ‘help me before I die’ look. I felt so bad, I immediately ran out of the room and went to find Kevin, Brian, Leighanne, or Kristen. I went and knocked on Brian and Leighanne’s door, after getting no answer, I went to find Kevin’s. I banged as hard as I could on it, and soon, a half dressed Kevin came and answered it.
“Liz is puking in our room, help?” I asked, this time in English, not wanting to deal with Kevin’s crap today.
“Yeah, hold on,” he said looking for a pair of pants. Once he had on a pair of gray sweatpants, he walked out and into our room. Liz had not stopped for the past hour, and I was getting really worried. Not only were we best friends, but she was also like a sister to me.
“What’s wrong with her?” I asked him.
“I dunno, go tell Kristen I’m taking her to the hospital, and get Mark to come here,” he said, trying to clean Liz up with a damp washcloth. I ran out into the hall to find Mark and Kristen.
“Markies, Kev wants you to go help him. He’s taking Lizzie to the hospital.” I told Mark using my nickname for him.
“Ok, where is he? Your room?”
“Yeppies, here take this,” I said throwing him Liz’s key to it.
“Thanks.”
“No prob. Tell Kevin I’m looking for Kris. Bye,” I said going to look for Kristen. I soon found her in the lobby. “Kris… Kev… takin… Liz… hospital… won’t stop… puking…” I told her out of breath.
“She ok?” I just nodded my head and pointed to the door where Kevin was carrying Liz out to the waiting car. Kristen and I ran back up to the rooms to tell the others. Great, another trip to the hospital!
Aaron was pacing back and forth in the waiting room, wait for some news on Lizzie. Nick and I were both cuddled on an uncomfortable couch, Leighanne and Brian were trying to keep Julianna occupied, and the Howie and AJ were getting food. I did not want to be here at all. Did I ever mention I hate hospitals? Ugh…this place creeped me. Soon Kevin appeared in the doorway. I was the first to notice him.
“She ok?” I asked, tears forming in my eyes, expecting the worse.
“She’ll be fine. She had food poisoning.”
“Oh yeah, that makes me feel a lot better!” I said sarcastically, breaking the tension that had formed.
“Glad you love me Genie!” a hoarse voice called.
“You know it girl!” I yelled back, hopping up and rushing into the room. The walls were white, and it smelt like sterilizer. Damn hospitals. “You have got to be so uncomfortable,” I said looking at the bed. The mattress was thin, and covered in plastic. She had sheets that were about as thick as a sheet of paper, and a blue hospital gown on.
“At least you have on a blue dress thing,” a voice said. I turned around to see Nick. “How are you?”
“Could be better, but like you said, I have a blue dress thing!” she said rolling her eyes. “Where’s my sexy boy?”
“EWWWW!!!! Don’t say that!” Nick said crinkling up his nose.
“Aww, poor Nicky.”
“Hey, don’t be mean to my boy,” I said wrapping my arms around his waist and leaning my head on his shoulder.
“Then get me my sexy boy!!” she whined.
“Did I hear someone call my name?” AJ asked sauntering into the room.
“AJ, she said SEXY boy, not stupid boy.” I pointed out.
“Ha ha, very funny.” Soon everyone was in the room, and it was very crowded. Damn room.
“Well people, if you don’t mind, SCRAM!” Elizabeth yelled. “Ouch… that hurt,” she said rubbing her throat. We all said our good byes, and left. “You two, stay,” she said pointing to Aaron and me.
“Joy, a fun filled time with Ms. Cranky pants,” I mumbled.
“Shut up,” she said hearing what I said. Oh lord, this was going to be a long week!
