Chapter 8
By Katie

*DING DONG* The doorbell rang, and kept ringing, until it finally woke up Casey. She looked at the clock next to her bed, it was only 9:00 AM. Casey didn't even know that 9 had an AM.

She groaned and rolled over trying to get back to sleep, but no one was answering the door. She sat up tiredly and ran down the stairs to give whoever was here a piece of her mind.

She opened the door and looked at the person on the other side. He was kinda tall, about half an inch shorter than her, was wearing sunglasses and had bright red hair. "Who the hell are you?" She asked angrily and he looked at her shocked.

"I was about to ask you the same thing."

"I'm Casey. Now, who are you?"

"I'm AJ. Is Nick here?" Casey rolled her eyes.

"Oh, you're a friend of Nick's. Let me guess, you're another Backstreet Bastard," he looked taken aback but then nodded slowly.

"Well, I don't know where he is but do you know what time it is? It's nine in the morning!! I'm usually still asleep right now but thanks to you, I'm not." She growled at him and he stepped up.

"Look, I just came here to get Nick. We have a radio interview we have to go to and all I want is to get his lazy ass out here. Now would you please let me in so I can go find him?" He yelled up at her, annoyed.

"Yeah, sure whatever." She opened the door to let him in and he brushed past her. Nick came running down the stairs whistling.

"Hey Bone, when'd you get here?"

"About five minutes ago. I also got a bitching from your new house guest." Nick looked over at Casey who just glared back.

"God dammit Casey, can't you even be nice for one second?" He yelled and she smirked.

"Nope, sorry Nickypoo. Your friend here woke me up and why the hell didn't you answer the door if you were awake?"

"Because I was getting ready."

"Whatever, next time answer the damn door yourself cause I'm not gonna let your friends in anymore." She yelled before storming back up the stairs and into her room to go back to sleep.

AJ laughed. "She's quite a girl."

"She is not bone, she's quite a bitch." Nick rolled his eyes.

"Who is she? She's hott." Nick looked at AJ as if he were insane.

"You're kidding right? That's Casey Summers, the biggest bitch in the world."

"Casey Summers, your best friend, Casey Summers? I remember her, wow, she grew up."

"Yeah, OLD best friend. I wouldn't be friends with that girl if my life depended on it."

"But you gotta admit, she's hot."

"No she's not. Last night she showed up here, hadn't showered in days and reeked of cigarette smoke. I'm telling you Bone, you wouldn't like her."

"I think I would." AJ said before the two left the house.

"Casey, get up." Jane said as she entered Casey's room and opened the drapes, letting the sun shine through. Casey just groaned and rolled over.

"Casey, come on get up." Casey sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Where am I?" She asked herself but as soon as she realized that she was in Florida, and it wasn't all a dream, she silently cursed to herself and fell back down on the bed.

"Casey! Get up! It's 10:30 and you have to go find a job today. So go take a shower, get dressed, and please dress somewhat respectively, then go out there and look for a job." Jane half yelled to Casey.

Casey sat up once again and looked at Jane as if she were an alien from outer space. "Are you kidding me? It's 10:30 and you've woken me up to find...a job?!?!" Casey yelled back and Jane glared at her.

"Now this is that thing we talked about with you not talking back to us. You have to get up and find a job since you can't hang around here all day." Jane stomped out of the room angrily and Casey flipped her off as she got out of bed.
