Chapter 3

I hate this thought Nick. How the hell am I going to get into the freaking hospital. There was no way his bodyguard was going to be able to get Nick pass the hoards of adolescent girls that made up the mob in front of the hospital. Nick finally went through the cafeteria exit, with his bodyguard still out the front as a distraction. Nick wore a baseball cap, dark sunglasses and this huge coat to conceal his identity. Nick's attempt in making himself incognito was almost just as good as making him look suspicious somewhat. He went up to the floor that Brian was on and saw about a dozen girls on his heels. Nick instinctively ran, for his life. The girls were almost in mass hysterics.

Come on legs, don't let me down now, pleaded Nick Carter as he ran down the hallway of the hospital. He was being chased by a mob of girls which seemed to be catching up. Nick was getting desperate, and breathless. When he had come in, a bunch of girls followed. Nick was nice enough to them, signing autographs for them and giving them hugs, but when he was about to leave, they all went beserk, screaming and all, trying to grab the shirt of his very back.

At that time, even more girls had found their way into the hospital. And now, Nick was sprinting for his life. He turned a corner, and ducked into the first door he could find and shut the door behind him, leaning back on the door, catching his breath.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Kylie a little peeved off and startled. Nick was completely out of breath.

"Uhhhhh" stuttered Nick. Half because he was out of breath, and half because no one had asked him a question like that in a long, long time. "Nick..."

"Ok, Nick, what the hell are you doing in my room?' asked Kylie.

"Fans......... (huff...pufff).....mob.......girls......chasing....(huff)." Nick managed to blurt out in between hard puffs for breath.

"Um, I don't get you." said Kylie confused like. S

he was completely in the dark about why this strange looking guy had stormed into her room. He did look a little unusual, with the cap, sunnies and coat. This was Florida for god's sake.

"Wait......hold on....." said Nick, stalling for a little longer while he caught his breath. He took a quick glance across to the girl whom he had just barged in on. She was beautiful thought Nick, her brown hair seemed to fall perfectly around her face, and her green eyes just gleamed at him with curiosity

A few seconds later, "Uh, I'm a Bckstreet Boy you see, and one of us is in this hospital, and I was just chased by a rowdy mob of girls." Nick had no idea why he was compelled to tell this girl who was about his age the truth.

In situations like these, he would normally make some crap up if they hadn't recognized him immediately. Nick then began to remove his cap and glasses. It hit Kylie that this guy was incredibly cute. Nick then removed his overcoat and placed them on a table by the door.

"Backstreet Boy?!?!" asked a perplexed Kylie. She hadn't been paying much attention to music since her world had started to fall apart.

"The Backstreet Boys, a musical singing group." explained Nick.

"Sorry," apologized Kylie."I haven't been into music lately." admitted Kylie.

"That's ok. Is it because of being in he hospital?" asked Nick bluntly. He was curious to know what this pretty girl was doing here. Then he realized the bags under her tired eyes and her skin was actually pale.

"Kinda, I don't really wanna talk about it right now." said Kylie.

"That's ok. Do you mind if I hang out here for a while? It's kinda hectic outside, and I need a place to hide." asked Nick.

"Uh, I guess so." shrugged Kylie, in truth, she couldn't say no to such a gorgeous looking guy.

"Ooh, playstation. Could I?" asked Nick. It was awkward enough talking to this complete stranger he just barged into out of sheer desperation.

"If your prepared to get your ass kicked." answered Kylie coolly.

"Oh really now." commented Nick as he hit the start button.

In a few minutes, Kylie appeared victorious.

"Hey, I let you win." whined Nick.

"Yeah right." was Kylie's sarcastic answer back.

"How can I be kicking the butt of someone in the hospital?" defended Nick.

"Rematch?" asked Kylie.

"Your on."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a dozen matches, they came out even and decided to call it quits. Kylie hadn't had so much fun in a long time. After that, they were just engaged in a long conversation about everything in general.

"So, what's it like being such a big star?" asked Kylie. She really wanted to know what type of songs he sang, but she didn't really want to ask him that.

"It's fun, but sometimes I just get really sick of it. Especially withe the girl thing, a guy needs his space right?" asked Nick. Kylie actually could level with the millions of Nick worshippers, Nick himself was an incredibly gorgeous guy.

"Yeah, I can relate." said Kylie

"So you have been chased by millions of girls, your hair's been yanked, your clothes have been ripped off by hoards of girls with raging hormones?" Said Nick, a little perturbed.

"Touchy, but anyway Nick, I was talking about needing your own space."

"Sorry for snapping at you, it's just that it's kinda getting to me." apologized Nick."Anyway, what's this?" asked Nick as he picked up this curious book which was bound in brown leather.

"Hey, give that back. It's private." said Kylie but that made Nick lift it up high and forced Kylie to jump for it.

Nick wasn't actually gonna read it. They were both kidding around, but that book was special to Kylie, it was her diary. And she couldn't have this guy read it even though Kylie kinda new this guy was nice enough not to read it. So, Kylie proceeded to tickle Nick in the ribs and managed to snatch her diary back.

"No fair, tickling foul." laughed Nick as he tried to pry himself out of Kylie's grasp.

"Says who?" asked Kylie.

"Says me." answered Nick, he looked at his watch and he realized something. "Oh my god, we've been talking for an hour. I have to go, ok. Thanks. See Ya." said Nick as he grabbed his stuff.

"Bye Nick." said Kylie. Nick's name just seemed to echo in her heart endlessly. Suddenly, the door burst open again.

"What did you say your name was again?" asked Nick as he popped his head in.

"I didn't tell you my name." Said Kylie, her lame attempt to flirt. She was definitely rusty.

"So tell me now."

"It's Kylie."

"Kylie, nice name, nice meeting you Kylie, and thanks. Bye." Nick closed the door. He was soooo cute thought Kylie.

That girl was gorgeous and nice too thought Nick, maybe I just might visit Brian more often then I'd thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yo Frick, I met this perfect girl," said Nick as he barged into his best friend's hospital room an hour late.

"Green eyes, long brown hair???" asked Brian in a little panic. He didn't want them to fall for the same girl.

"Nope, brown eyes." said Nick, a little confused.

"Thank god."

"Oooh, so Brian's got a girl already." teased Nick.

"Not yet anyway, but if you see her, I've got first dibs." said Brian.

"Don't worry, I've already found someone. She is so hot, and this is when she's in the hospital. Anyway, I got chased by some fans you see, and I desperately ducked into her room."

"So that's why you are sooo late." glared Brian playfully.

"Then we ended up just talking and playing around. She even beat me at playstation, how perfect is that? And she was so nice and friendly, and not animated like some of those girls we meet. Plus, the beauty of it is that she didn't know who I was. But something made me tell her the truth, straight out." Nick went on with his smitten ramblings.

"Looks like Nicky's got a crush on someone." smiled Brian. "Anyway, my girl, I was wandering around, and I got kinda lost, and this candy striper was hurrying around and she kinda knocked me over."

"She knocked you over??" repeated Nick.

"Yeah, nothing big or anything, but she did, but she was so incredibly beautiful. She also didn't know who I was. Now, the problem is, how am I going to find her?? I know her first name, she works here, but that's it." said Brian.

"What?!?! You don't even know her last name." said Nick.

"Neither do you." "And I almost didn't get her first, but you see, I have her room number." smiled Nick happily.

"Oh my god." exclaimed Brian. "Nick, did you, like me, completely forget that you have a girlfriend?" said Brian in surprise

How could they have forgotten all about her in their excitement. Amazed that his best bud could forget his own girlfriend.

"Oh shit, Melissa." swore Nick. He knew he had to break up with her, after only an hour with Kylie, he knew that he would rather be with Kylie any day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh my god! Blonde hair, blue eyes, really tall?" asked Kylie excitedly.

"No, he's about my height. Why?" asked Lee suspiciously.

"I met someone, Lee. He was so great. That was the first time I truly had fun since I can't remember."

"That's good. But if you notice this sexy, dirty blond, almost brown haired, amazingly blue eyed, average height hunk, please find out his room number."

"Will do" saluted Kylie for fun. "Have you heard of, the Backstreet Boys?" asked Kylie curiously. The name did ring a bell, but she couldn't place it.

"Are you kidding? Of course I've heard of them. They're only the biggest boyband around. Their pretty good I guess, better than expected for a boyband" explained Lee.

"Well, that guy happens to be one." Kylie said.

"Your joking. You met a Backstreet Boy, here, in the hospital?" said Lee sceptically.

"Yeah, he was this tall blonde guy."

"I've been kinda meaning to buy their cd, but no cash. So I haven't actually really seen their faces." confessed Lee.

"So what music do they sing?" asked Kylie curiously.

"Uh, either the sweetest ballad, romantic type mushy songs that leaves your knees feeling like jello and your heart like it's been microwaved, or some faster dance type songs."
