A few weeks later, and we were in the studio again. I waited outside the booth as the guys were inside.
That’s when she came in; Danielle Fischer, my worst nightmare. Lance waved to her as they sang, and I could feel my cheeks begin to burn. After the guys were finished, I went with JC to talk to Mr. Wright. We talked for a half-hour about the guys’ new contract before we returned to the studio. As I sat down to watch the guys, I could feel my head beginning to ache again. Lance wasn’t there. Where was he?
“Caryn,” Katie whispered, touching my shoulder, “I think you better come quick.”
I massaged my temples as I followed Katie to a private booth next door. When she opened the door, I almost passed out.
Lance was making out with Danielle in the booth.
I winced as my head began throbbing. I still pushed my way into the booth, tore open the door, and pulled them apart. I slapped Lance as hard as I could.
“You son of a bitch! How could you?!”
“Caryn! I…….uh…….I…….”
“He doesn’t love you anymore.” Danielle said in her snotty tone of voice. I couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed her hair and began pulling as hard as I could. Lance tried to pull me away, but he couldn’t. I was on a rampage. I began laying punches on her stomach. I was trying to fight myself too. My eyesight was starting to get cloudy, and I felt like my skull was crushing.
Suddenly, I let out a loud scream, and fell to the floor. The pain was so much, I passed out.
I woke up in JC’s bunk. It was nighttime, and the bus was on the road again. I had no idea how long it had been, but my head still hurt. I had spots in front of my eyes like someone had just set off a flash in front of me.
“JC? Is anyone there?”
The curtains parted, and I could see Joey’s face.
“Hey there Caryn. You okay?”
“Not really. Can I have some aspirin?”
“Sure. I’ll be right back.”
I watched him leave. I hardly knew who he was. My memory had been horribly jolted, like someone tried to erase it. I had idea how I ended up here. Pretty soon Joey came back with my aspirin and a glass of water. He placed the pills in my mouth, and gave me the water. I drank it slowly, then gave it back to him.
“Where is everyone?”
“Justin, Chris, and JC are sleeping. Lance is in the ET room with Danielle.”
“Now I remember.” I said sadly. “I hate him and her. I wish I had killed her.”
“I do too. I don’t know what it is about that woman, but I cannot stand her.”
“Well, I’m so glad she ruined my life.”
“Are you feeling any better Care?”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me Joey. I feel like shit.”
“As soon as we get to Chicago, we’re taking you to the hospital.”
“I can't! Your big concert with BSB is there! I can't miss that!”
“Ssshhh! Yes you can. You better not argue. JC almost killed Lance. He’s royally pissed off.”
“You think I’m not? I can't stand that…….AHHHHHH!” My head began throbbing again. I couldn’t take it anymore. My head was killing me.
