Nick stuffed all of his things into the two duffel bags that were in the guest room. He tried to dry the tears but they kept coming. He was so hurt. How could he fall in love with her?

"Nicky," a soft voice came.

"Don't call me that AJ, you know I hate it,".

He grabbed some more things and stuffed them in the bags.

"Yeah, I know, sorry. Nick, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you felt that way. But its also impossible to fall in love with someone you don't even know."

AJ watched as this man stood in his house. He had watched him grow up, he had watched him get hurt on stage, he had seen him cry when his girlfriend had died. He had seen everything from 12-20, 8 years of memories all packed into his heart.

"AJ you didn't feel what I did, you didn't know what I knew. You don't even know me!". He fell to the floor sobbing.

AJ walked over to him and draped an arm across his back. "What did you feel Nick, What did you know?" he asked.

Nick calmed down only long enough to say it. "When I seen her, she looked so perfect, so beautiful, it felt like someone had come up behind me and hit me upside the head. When I kissed her, something passed between us, like.. like when you get shocked. It felt like the whole world was spinning, going around and around, except for us. That's when I knew I was in love,". He looked up at AJ.

"Nick, I know who you are, you're Nickolas Gene Carter, you're the little boy I seen fall off the stage on our first show, you're the little boy who use to share a bed with me in hotels, and you use to sleep with Pinky, the Koala bear. You're Nicky Carter who cried for four days when your first girlfriend broke up with you. You're Nicky Carter who cried when you got pushed out of the dressing room in green underwear,". Nick laughed a little.

"You're Nick Carter, who became a great individual. You're Nick Carter who stayed by the hospital bed when Brian got out of surgery. You're Nick Carter, who helped Howie set up the foundation for his sister that died. You're Nick Carter, the guy I've always thought of as my little brother. You're Nick Carter the guy who fell in love with my sister. And I'm Alexander James McLean, the one too stupid not to realize it,".

He smiled. "Yeah I may have fell for her, but she hates me, she only wanted me for money. So I'm going to stay at Brian's for the rest of the vacation. I'm sorry Bone, but it would be to hard to be around her,".

AJ nodded. " Yeah I understand," AJ helped his friend pack and watched him leave.

"Is he gone?" Hallie asked.

"Yes," AJ looked up at her.

"AJ.. I really didn't want him because he was famous. From the first time I saw him I was in love,". She began to cry.

AJ wrapped her into his arms. "I'm sorry, but he is gone now,".
