Lucy was sitting around with AJ on the tour bus, the day after Christmas. Here we go again, everyone thought. They all enjoyed there few days off. Lucy and Brian hadn’t spoken to much since the night before. He walked into the back and Lucy looked up.
"Hey AJ, hey Luc" Brian greeted.
"Hey boy" Lucy smiled.
"Whats up B?" AJ asked.
"Ahh, nothing, just chilling" Brian stated and sat next to him.
"Oh, well, I gotta go call Sara, be back lata!" AJ smiled and left the back room.
Brian and Lucy looked at each other.
"So, how you been?" Brian asked. Lucy broke out laughing.
"Whats soo funny?" Brian asked.
"B, since when are we nerves around each other?" Lucy asked.
Brian had to smile "Since, I got to close to you" Brian whispered.
"What? Brian, for the last time, your not gonna lose me" Lucy stated and stood up.
Brian sighed "But"
"No buts Frick" Lucy smiled softly, Brian stood up and hugged her.
"Alright, sorry" Brian stated.
"Good, now lets talk about the tour" Lucy stated and pulled Brian into her bunk on the top.
"Lucy, I don't wanna" Brian whined.
"Brian, its scarring me. Please tell me you and the guys are alright" Lucy stated and laid on Brian.
"Luc, look, were gonna get through it like we always say, Backstreet Boys are never gonna break up" Brian told.
"Fine" Lucy stated and laid her head on Brians chest.
"Umm, I gotta go see Nick" Brian stated.
Lucy looked up at him and smiled "See ya" she smiled and they hopped down from her bunk.
~*~A Week Later~*~
The past week, had been horrible, everything was going wrong, nothing seemed to go right. Brian was never with Lucy anymore, always alone, he didn't even hang out with Nick. Nick was gonna get Tess to come on tour. Lucy was sleeping in her hotel room somewhere, didn't even remember where she was. When she got a knock on the door.
She opened it to see her friend Tess.
"OMG, TESS!!" Lucy screamed and rapped her arms around her.
"Ahh when did you get here??" Lucy asked.
"Just now, so girl, how are you?" Tess asked.
"Not good!! Tour is hard!" Lucy stated, Tess frowned.
"Well Fear NOT! I'm here!" Tess laughed.
"Wow, its soo good to see you" Lucy smiled. "Anyway, lets go see everyone" Lucy stated and pulled here to see Nick first.
~*~*~
After everyone hugged and stuff, Lucy looked over at Brian, he seemed to be off in another world. Lucy walked aside, where he was.
"Whats wrong?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing" Brian mumbled and began to leave the room.
"No, Brian, I miss you, don't go" Lucy stated, everyone looked at them quietly.
"I miss you too" Brian stated turned to leave again.
"I'm right here Brian, your the one thats not all here" Lucy called.
Brian pulled Lucy to him and kissed her.
"Brian stop!" Lucy said and pushed him away. Kevin walked over and made Brian go to his room.
"I'm gonna go talk to him" Kevin stated.
"No, he won't talk to any of you guys. Tess go talk to him please" Lucy begged. Tess agreed.
~
"Brian, can I come in?" Tess asked.
She didn't get an answer so she walked in.
"She loves you Brian, shes never gonna stop" Tess told, Brain looked up from his spot on his bed.
"Its so hard, tour, everything! I can't deal with it all, I just wanna go away somewhere, with Lucy and JUST her" Brian cried.
"B, whats so hard? What do you have to deal with?" Tess asked.
"Lucy, me, tour, shows, everything. I just need some time off, ah forget it, don't say anything to the guys. Please?" Brian asked.
"I think you need to talk them. You can't perform if your hearts not in it. Your mind is, but not your heart. One question. Where is your heart?" Tess asked.
"I'll talk to them. My heart, with Lucy. God I love her more then anything" Brian stated.
"I'm gonna go get her ok?" Tess smiled.
"Please"
~
"Luc, go to Brians room" Tess smiled.
"Umm ok" Lucy agreed and headed to Brians room.
~
"Brian, are you ok?" Lucy asked sitting across from him.
"I'll be ok" Brian slightly smiled.
"I think you have to much on your mind, how about we do something crazy. Just totally fun" Lucy smiled.
Brian thought for a second "Anything?" He asked.
"Umm, well, if I agree to it" Lucy giggled.
Brian said no more and kissed her.
"I should've known" She laughed.
"No please, a few kisses hon?" Brian smiled.
"Only if you hang out with me more" Lucy stated and laid back on his bed.
"No problem" Brian stated and kissed her again.
"Bri, I changed my mind" Lucy whispered.
"Yeah, me too" Brian stated and they got up.
"Umm, lets go, Ahhh theres nothing we can do! All the fans" Brian sighed.
"Just laid down, stay with me for a little while" Lucy smiled, Brian smiled back and rapped his arms around her, as they laid on his bed.
Nick walked in Brians room, and Brian looked up.
"Hey" Lucy smiled.
"Hey girl, Umm B, time for our weekly meeting" Nick stated.
"Alright. Luc, I'll be back" Brian smiled and left the room with Nick.
Lucy smiled, and grabbed Brians sweatshirt and pulled it over her head, as she hugged it close to her.

"Alright, start with opinions on how this week went. Honest now" Kevin stated. "Howie, we'll start with you" He added.
"Umm, well, this weeks was definitely crazy, but it turned out ok. I guess" Howie smiled.
"Nick?" Kevin stated, he seemed to be in another world.
"What?" Nick asked.
"How was this week?" Kevin asked.
"Honestly, sucked" Nick said bluntly.
"Alright, look, we just gotta deal this out. Stick with it." Kevin stated. Everyone nodded.
"B, you alright?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Brian faked a smile.
~*~
Brian walked back in his room and Lucy was still lying on his bed. He smiled and walked, over, then laid on her.
"Tired?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, I just need you thats all" Brian whispered and Lucy held him tighter.
~*~
Megan and Kevin walked in Brians room, and saw him sleeping with Lucy, rapped in each others arms. Kevin smiled, as did Lucy.
"Still wanna wake them up?" Kevin asked.
"No, just let them be" Megan stated, but Brian looked up at them.
"Ohh sorry Rok" Kevin smiled.
"Its ok. Ahh, we have a interview tonight don't we?" Brian sighed.
"Um, yeah, I was gonna let you skip it, to stay with Luc, but since your awake" Kevin trailed off.
"Ok" Brian stated, he kissed Lucys head and left with Kevin and Megan.

"I'm gonna go back to the hotel with Luc" Brian said.
"I'm going with Megan"
"And I'm going with Tess"
"I'm going to call home" Howie smiled.

"Brian, whats wrong?" Lucy asked, after he was quiet for a while.
"Ahh nothing, I'm gonna go to bed ok?" Brian forced a smile. Lucy nodded and Brian left.
"I love you Brian" Lucy whispered to herself and went to bed by herself.
~*~The Next Day~*~
Lucy was finishing up her assigned school work, Kevin and Megan gladly gave her.
"Now, Lucy, you have to do 3 pages a day in each book!" Kevin told, as Lucy remembered
"Well, I did it all" Lucy stated. "now I sit in the hotel room all day, ‘til about 11 tonight, when the guys get back. Then we go to our next stop. Lucy thought to herself.
~*~
"Bri, come on, its not the end of the world, that you didn't get to see Lucy today yet" AJ laughed.
"Well to me it is. That girls my life" Brian shot back.
"Anyway, shes doing her school work, like a normal 16 year old should be doing" Kevin told. Brian rolled his eyes.
~*~
"Ahh this is the life!" Lucy giggled to herself, as she sat in the hot tub, in her hotel room.
"Ok, so I'm board outta my mind with out Brian, maybe I'll call a limo to take me to him" Lucy thought again, and agreed to that.
~*~*~
Lucy enter the arena, said hi to the crew members and saw Brian signing stuff for lucky fans that were backstage. Lucy looked at Brian from afar, as she smiled brightly.
Brian looked up and smiled at her.
"Who's, that?" A young girl asked.
"My friend" Brian smiled at her..
Lucy walked over and said hi to Kevin, and the guys, along to Megan.
"Hey Luc" Brian smiled,
"Hey!" Lucy smiled back, and he went back to work.
~*~The Next Day~*~
Lucy was doing her much hated school work in the front of the bus, as the guys talked business. She soon finished, her givin' work, and sighed. Brian turned his attention to her.
"All done Lucy?" Brian asked. Lucy nodded with a smile.
"Great!" Brian picked her up and brought her in the back. Before Kevin could say anything.
Brian, had Lucy on his lap, facing him, as they talked.
"Last night, I almost sang the wrong words to All I Have To Give, but I caught myself" Brian told, with a sigh.
"Eee, did the guys yell at you?" She asked.
"No, but If I did sing the wrong words, they'd might, that or laugh." Brian smiled.
"Yeah" Lucy whispered.
"Things are getting harder and harder, there sa'posta be getting easier and easier" Brian told softly. Lucy just hugged him and he snuggled his face into her neck.
"Can I keep you?" Lucys whispered in his ear. Brian looked up at her.
"Only if you keep me forever" Brian replied. Lucy smiled and kissed his cheek lightly.
"Luc, when this tour is over, I want you to go somewhere with me, just get away, for a long time" Brian said. Lucy looked at him, he was serious as anything.
"Ok" She agreed and they held each other.
~*~
"Guys, we have to stick with it" Kevin told. The guys sighed.
"Kevin, know how many times I almost messed up last night?" AJ said in a loud whisper.
"I know, we all were a little off last night. But, we did ok. And were gonna continue to do what were doing" Kevin closed the meeting. The guys sighed and Nick went to find Brian and Lucy.
He walked into the back and they were on the floor kissing. Nick didn't say a word, just walked back to the front.
"What are they doing?" Howie asked.
"Nothing" Nick told. AJ smiled knowingly. Kevin didn't pay attention to them, he was talking to Megan.
"Whats taking them so long to get together, officially?" AJ questioned, The other 2 just shrugged.
"I think, they just like how things are now." AJ told.
~*~
"Brian" Lucy stated in between kisses.
"Hmm?"
"I love you"
Brian stopped kissing her, and looked at her face. "I love you too" He said softly and brought his lips to hers again.
Brian slowly rolled over and Lucy laid on him as they continued kissing.
~
Tess woke up from her spot in Nicks bunk. Shes slowly got down and headed to find Nick, she checked the back and, saw something she really didn't want to. Lucy and Brian on the floor. She quickly walked to the front and Nick greeted her with a smile.
"Hey" Tess smiled at everyone.
"Hey girl" Howie smiled back.
"Sleep good?" Kevin asked. She nodded.
"Nick, your bunk is the best" Tess stated, Nick nodded and hugged her.
"What was that for?" Tess asked.
"Nothing" Nick smiled softly.
"Anyway, Lucy and Brian seem happy" Tess laughed. Nick laughed with her. They others looked at each other, then got up to go to the back. But Tess stopped them.
"What are they doing exactly?" Megan asked.
"Nothing, nothing, there have a important talk" Tess lied.
"How come I don't believe you at all?" Megan smiled.
"Meg, leave them be please?" Tess begged.
Megan looked at Kevin.
"There not gonna stop loving each other anytime soon. What can we do?" Kevin sighed. Megan just hugged him.
~
"Brian, slow" Lucy's soft voice stated.
"Alright, sorry" Brian stated. Lucy then pulled away. Brian looked at her weirdly.
"Whats wrong Lucy?" He asked.
"Nothing, just, I don't know" Lucy sighed, Brian just softly kissed her fore head.
"When you wanna stop, tell me alright?" Brian said. Lucy nodded and Brian rested his head on her chest.
"Brian?" Lucy questioned. Brian looked at her. Lucy said not a word. Just kissed him.
~*~
"Meg, baby can you go get Luc, and B, were gonna go eat" Kevin asked. Megan nodded and kissed him before she headed to the back.
She opened the little door and Brian didn't have his shirt on, either did Lucy.
"BRIAN LITTRELL!! Get off her right now!!" Megan yelled. Brian looked up and his face turned red.
"Megan calm down, please" Brian begged, as he slowly grabbed his shirt. He also handed Lucy hers.
"Megan, were sorry" Lucy stated.
"No your not, anyway, were stopping to eat." Megan slammed the door shut and Brian and Lucy sighed heavily.
Brian looked down at Lucy and a small smiled came to his face.
"Your perfect" He said softly. Lucy blushed and kissed his cheek.
"Shall, we go um, eat?" Lucy giggled. Brian laughed and rolled of her, still sitting on the floor. They both pulled on there shirts. Both worried what Kevin and Megan were gonna say to them. Or do!
~
Everyone was in the restraint. Megan hadn't said anything to Kevin..yet. She didn't know what to do. Kevin knew something was up. Megan and Kevin were softly talking at the table, and she told him. His eyes bugged outta his head. He wanted to kill Brian. Megan told him they'd talk about it later. Soon enough Brian and Lucy quietly walked in. there were no seats left, but by Megan and Kevin. Lucy sat next to Megan, and Brian was stuck with Kevin. Both scared.
"Megan you did have to get mad at me" Brian stated softly.
"Yes I did, Lucy is like my little sister/daughter, and if you ever hurt her, you'll die." Megan shot.
"Megan" Lucy began.
"Your grounded Luc" Kevin told. Lucy looked at him in disbelief. But knew it was so.
~*~Back On The Bus~*~
Brian and Lucy were told to go to the back. They got there and Lucy hugged him.
"It'll work out" She whispered. Brian smiled and kissed her forehead. As Kevin and Megan entered.
"How long am I grounded? And what are the punishments?" Lucy asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"First off, your grounded for 2 weeks, no shareing a room with Brian, no cell phone, no concerts, no shopping, and NO being alone with BRIAN!" Kevin told sternly.
"Oh thank god, no more concerts" Lucy shot. "I was so sick of them anyway!" She added with an attitude.
"3 week!" Kevin warned. Lucy shut up.
"Why am I here? For one Kev, your not my father, two, your only my cuz. 3. I'm 23, GONNA be 24, you can't punish me. 4. I can do as I please." Brian told.
"Well, your here, cuz you were with Lucy, and for 1. I can yell at you for it. Cuz shes my dauber sorta speak. 2. Your much older then her. 3. Your sa'posta be just friends. 4. By her being grounded, means less time with you. 5. I'm much taller them you, and I can pound you so hard you'll!" Megan grabbed Kevin, after he was getting closer and closer to Brian.
"Kev, calm down" Megan whispred.
"Ok, lets get this straight, your useing Lucy, to get at me?" Brian questioned. Kevin wanted to say no, but it was true.
"Look, Kev, lets talk this out. man to man" Brian began..
"When you start acting like one. Give me a call!" Kevin shot.
"Stop!" Lucy yelled. They all looked at her.
"Look, ever since I came into the picture, you 2 haven't gotten along! I'm SORRY Kev, I'm sorry I love him. I'm sorry for being here!" Lucy yelled and ran to her bunk crying.
"Look what you did!" Brian shot.
"No look what you did!" Kevin replied.
"NO!!! Look what you to did! Kev, Bri, call me when you BOTH start acting like men!" Megan yelled and ran after Lucy.
Brian fell back on the couch, as tears filled his eyes. Kevin sighed.
"I'm sorry Kev, what can I say? I'm in love with her. And I want her to be with me forever." Brian told.
"Shes so young, her life revolves around you Brian. She doesn't have anything else. She was so innocent when we first met her. I mean you were probably her first kiss. Now, you are her life. Shes not a normal teenage. She doesn't hang out with other teens. All she does hes hang with you. Nothing else. Its, not healthy. Shes needs something else, anything" Kevin told softly.
"Kevin, who would you choose for her to marry?" Brian asked.
Kevin sat next to him "What kinda question is that?" He asked.
"Come on man" Brian stated.
"fine, I'd have to say you" He told.
"Thanks man" Brian smiled half way.
"No problem"
"So, I was thinking, she goes home with Tess tomorrow" Kevin said. Brians heart sank.
"No, Kev, I'd be lost with out her!" Brian stated standing up.
"Look, you think this is good for her? How shes living now?" Kevin asked. Brian nodded no.
"Well"
"I know, Just please, only for a little while. Our last stop is LA, I want her there with me, thats in a month. So I only want her gone for 3 weeks" Brian stated. Kevin nodded in agreement.
