Yet again...Cindy and I found ourselves walking behind the boys and the managment as we entered the airport. Judging from my first experience at the airport, all the name calling that went on, I wasn't too excited to be in an airport. But, I couldn't have been happier with what had happened.

"Excuse me? Your Tia, right?" A girl, probably around my age asked me.

I nervously answered. "Yes."

The girl seemed relieved that I answered 'Yes'. She then smiled and I am a firm believer in when someone else smiles, it can bring a smile to your own face. And that's what it did.

"I'm Kelly. I have two roses. And I was wondering if you could give one of them to Nick for me?" She asked, sweetly.

I smiled and nodded. "Of course, I'll tell him it's from a Kelly."

Kelly handed her the first rose and then the second one. I looked at the second one and couldn't remember her saying which boy she wanted to have it.

"Who would you like me to give this one, too?"

"Oh, that's for you! I was here last time you guys arrived and I can only imagine what you go through. But, your just as special as them. Don't let the other fans get to you. Some of them are harsh and some of them are ok with it. I'm one of the 'ok with it' fans. Besides, most good fans are in it for the music. We back the guys for the music, not for if their single or not."

Listening to Kelly really made me feel like I had turned over a new leaf. Sure, going out with Nick in public made it pretty hard to even grabe a Burger and McDonalds. But, she was right. Not all fans are harsh and she just proved that.

"Thank you so much! Oh, gosh. Here I go...I'm sorry, I'm a criar." I said while wiping away my tears.

"Don't cry. It's ok." The girl said. "I just wanted you to have this. So you can know that not all of Nick's fans are jerks. Especially when it comes to the girlfriends."

I smiled again. I hugged her and took the roses with me. Nick waved to the girl who I was talking with and she blew him a kiss and I was very pleased that she did. She is the reason why they have made it and stayed so level headed. Fans like, Kelly.

"Secret Admirer?" He asked while eyeing the roses in my hands.

"No, more like a loyal fan."

I handed him one of the roses and he took my free hand and we borded the flight. Although it was a long tour, and an exhausting tour for both Cindy and I, as well as the guys, I was excited to be heading back to Florida. And to see my Mom!

* * *

So their I sat. In first class with Nick to the right of me and Brian to my left. Of course Cindy seated next to him. I looked around and saw AJ, Kevin and Howie seated in the three seater across from us. Everything seemed perfect. Like life couldn't get any better. I couldn't have asked for better friends. Which I've attained through Nick. An older sister type, thanks to Brian, who's brought me Cindy. Kevin and Howie, just like dads to me. And Nick is ok with the fact that they all want to be in my life somehow. He doesn't mind at all. And then theirs AJ. Allthough we've been through alot. It doesn't matter. AJ made his mistakes, but is better now because of them. No more late night party's for him.

"Were like the Brady Bunch." I said outloud.

Nick started laughing and kissed my cheek. "Brady Bunch?" He asked.

"Yeah, always their for eachother. You know? Got your back type of bonds?" I said.

Brian laughed lightly and then so did the others. Ok, so I'm the youngest out of all of them. I may say some dumb-ass things, but this is how I feel.

"Ok, were the brady bunch, but you and I can't date if were a family."

I smacked his knee and everyone laughed. "I was just simply stating that were all close, Nick. I'm not saying were like brothers and sisters. And were most certainly not going to be wearing polyester anytime soon. I can assure you! Also, we won't be walking down the stairs at the same time, and Cindy and I will not swing out heads from side to side so our hair flings out a mile. I was just saying that your all so close to me."

Nick smiled and then turned my face to his. His lips gently touched mine and then he pulled away slowly.

"Your real cute when you correct me and prove a point, you know?"

I kissed his nose and laughed. "I know, Nick. Believe me, I know."

***

When I arrived home, I immediatly embraced my mother. For both of us being along for eachother over a long period of time is alot for a tight knit mother and daughter. We had dinner, just the two of us and we talked about the tour.

Nick had gone straight back to his house, as well. But, he did manage to call my house just to speak to my mother. He is a sweet talker. Has been since the day I met him.

Later that night, much later in the evening, I couldn't sleep. I grabbed a sweatshirt and threw it on over my tank top that I was wearing to bed. I slipped my sandals on and quietly slipped out the back door. As I walked down to the beach, I noticed a familiar figure walked towards me.

"Hey, stranger." I said, softly.

"Hey, cutie." He said while hugging me.

"Kinda late for you to be out here alone, isn't it?" I said.

"You should talk!" He said while holding me close.

The two of us sat on the damp sand and smelled the ocean air. As I sat their with Nick, nothing mattered. The tour was over, and nothing else mattered. I was home with my mom, having my grandmother watch over me. I was away from the hassle of the guys fans, I was in my world now. My perfect world. Now, I'm careful when I say perfect. I normally don't want to sound too superficial. Cuz, in my eyes, no one is perfect.

Although, some of Nick's fans would highly disagree with me. No one has a perfect body. No one has a perfect personality. No one has a perfect life. Although, perfect love? I've never thought of that. But, in a way, I have it.

Who knows where I'll be a few years down the road. Maybe I'll still be with Nick, or maybe their is another path for me too chose. But, no matter what happens. Nick and I will always remain 'One' in both of our hearts. With that said, I turned my head and kissed his cheek lightly.

"What's that for? Not like I minded it." He said, while laughing.

I thought about it and then let it slip. It was intended to be said in my mind, but came out.

"For being perfect."

THE END
