Chapter 59

"Suzy?!?"  Sarah yells.
"Yeah girl, it's me."  I say near tears.
Brian, Nick, and Sarah run up to me and hug me all at once.  I can't take it anymore, I start crying.
"Oh gosh, we've missed you so much!"  Nick says to me.  "I've had to pick on Sarah since you've been gone.  But it's just not the same."
"I've missed you too Nick."  I say with a smile.
"It's been hard handling these guys by myself, even though I've had a little help."  Sarah says.
"From who?"  I ask.
Just then Shena walks in the room with Kevin.
"Oh my gosh girl, your back!"  Shena and Kevin yell, as they run over to me and hug me.
"Oh I've missed you guys so much.  But Shena, what are you doing here?"  I ask.
"Well, Sarah invited me to come on the Europe tour with her."  Shena says.  "And I the guys didn't think it was that bad of an idea."
"Yeah, especially Kevin."  Brian says with a little smirk.
"Be quiet cos."  Kevin says while blushing a little.
"Well, where's Howie?  Where's AJ?!"  I ask.
"Howie's down the hall with AJ."  Kevin says.
I take off down the hall.  Before I can find what room AJ's in, I run into Howie.
"Lil sis?  Is that really you?"  Howie says.
"Shhh...yeah it is.  But I don't want AJ to hear.  I want to surprise him."  I say hugging Howie.
Howie gives me a kiss on the check and a big bear hug.
"Man, I was really starting to miss you."  Howie says still hugging me.
"I really missed you too."  I say.  "Not to cut our reunion short, but where's AJ.  I just have to see him."
"I understand totally.  He's in the third room on the right.  But hurry, we go on in a couple minutes."  Howie says.
I start walking down the hall, and walk into AJ's dressing room.  He's sitting in a chair, looking in the mirror, and is softly sing "If I Don't Have You."  I can see him in the mirror, but he doesn't even notice that I walked in the room.
I knock on the side of the door softly.
"Yeah Howie, I know.  We have a show to do."  AJ says looking down at the ground.
"Hey baby."  I say softly.
AJ turns around quickly.  There are tears in his eyes and his face is kind of red; he apparently has been crying for some time.  He looks at me in shock.
"Is it...is it really you?"  AJ asks.
"Yeah it is.  It's all me.  I'm back, I'm back for good."  I say.
AJ jumps up, throws his arms around, picks me up, and swings me around.  Then he sets me down and starts holding me.  He starts crying harder, and I begin to cry again.
 "Oh God, I've missed you so much!"  I say through my tears.
"I was beginning to wonder when I'd get to see you again.  I was getting worried."  AJ says.
We stop hugging and look into each others eyes.
"I told you I'd come back, baby.  I couldn't stop thinking about you."  I say.
AJ moves in close to kiss me when a stage hand comes in and grabs AJ's arm.
"Sir, they need you, the concert starts in one minute."  The man says.
"Wait a minute."  AJ says.
"We don't have a minute sir; like I said, the concert starts in...less than a minute."  The man says.
"Meet me in front of the building after the concert.  I love you."  AJ says as the stage hand pulls him out the door.
I run out the door and yell, "I love you too," as AJ goes around the corner.
