"Girl I'm goin' out of my mind,
I miss you so much,
I don't know what to do . . ."

Chapter Thirteen

--The Hospital--

"Poor Natasha, this is so horrible. I hope they can let us in to see her soon," Marissa said tapping her fingers nervously on the arm rest of the chair she was sitting in.

"Yeah, it's too bad the guys had a concert tonight. I could tell they wanted to stay," Julia said taking a sip of water.

"I feel so bad for trying separate Natasha from Howie like that. I just thought that if they were to get back together and it wouldn't work out that it would just be more heartache for her," Marissa said staring into space.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I could tell earlier when he was here at the hospital that he really does care about her. I wish we could just go talk to Natasha," Julia replied.

--The Boys--

"Ok guys, our concert it going well tonight. I know a lot of stuff has happened tonight and not all of us are really focused but we just need to do our best tonight," Kevin said as they took a short water break backstage between songs.

They saw the lights of the arena turn off as their cue to get back on stage soon. Kevin got onto the platform and prepared to play his opening for "Back to Your Heart." Howie, Brian, AJ, and Nick all waited patiently for their cue to get on stage and prepare to sing.

The spotlights fell on the rest of the boys as AJ started to sing the opening part. "It's not that I can't live without you, It's just that I don't even want to try, Every night I dream about you ever since the day we said goodbye."

Nick looked at AJ as he finished his part and started in. "If I wasn't such a fool, Right now I'd be holding you, There's nothin' that I wouldn't do, Baby If I only knew."

The chorus started as they all sang together. " The words to say the road to take, to find a way back to your heart, what can I do to get to you, and find a way back to your heart."

Brian started to sing his next part. "I don't know how it got so crazy, but I'll do anything to set things right . . ." Brian paused for a moment as he noticed Howie run off the stage. Brian continued to sing but gave the rest of the guys a worried look. The fans must have thought it was part of the show.

"Oh my God Howie! Why did you just run off stage like that?!" AJ yelled as they took a break after the song. Howie just sat in their dressing room with his head in his hands.

"Because when we were singing that song I listened closely to the lyrics and all I could seem to think about was Natasha. I tried to hold it in but I couldn't take it anymore. I miss her so much! And I almost lost her today. AJ you've got to help me get Natasha back," Howie said looking up at him.
