Chapter 8

Cindy’s view ~
I was having the time of my life! I ran down the stairs to the stage with so much energy. I never felt so good in my whole life. Not until I walked up on the stage, and I watched each of my friends getting taken by the Backstreet Boy that they so much adored. Christine got her Spanish sweetie, Howie; Gina got her dreamboat, Nick; Erin got the person she most adored, Kevin, and Bobbie got her wild man, AJ. Each of the guys directed my friends to the stools. I felt so happy for them. I walked up the stage last. Brian came over to me and took my hand. I was so close to fainting right then and there. I never even imagined that I would be so close to Brian, but when he touched my hand I had no control over my body. My arms, legs, and body tensed up and went numb. All I could do was let Brian take me over to one of the stools. I was glad to sit down. I didn’t think I could trust my legs to hold me up any longer.

As I sat in the stool I heard Brian explaining to the crowd what was going on. I felt the heat from the spotlights hitting my face.

I sat there and wondered, “why me? I am just an ordinary girl, I guess I had a lot of luck on my side.”

“Now we are going to sing to these five girls one of our favorite songs.” I heard Brian talking and I couldn’t believe what was happening, he is going to sing to me.

The music started.

“So many words for the broken heart.
It’s hard to see in a crimson love.”

 Brian looked right at me. Hearing him say crimson love gave me the chills.

“So hard to breathe, walk with me and maybe.”

 The rest of the song went by so fast, like a blur. When the song ended, the stage lights went out.

I could barely see a thing. I felt Brian grab my arm, and he pulled me behind the stage. Back behind the stage, the lights were on. When my eyes adjusted to the change in light, I could see people darting all around the big room. I saw the rest of my friends in a group with the rest of the Backstreet Boys. Brian and I walked over to them all.

“Ok, what just happened?” Christine asked me quietly.

“It’s a long story!” I told her. “I’ll tell you later.” I still have a couple of questions for Brian myself.”

“Cindy, I think we should talk.” Brian told me. I shook my head yes, and followed him to a nearby room.
