Howie sits there thinking about what's going on.  You know, Tiffany's right.  It's nice having someone to hold, and talk to, and love them as they love you.  I wish I had that with someone; someone like Tiffany or Libby.  Howie starts to slowly drift asleep; when all of a sudden the apartment starts shaking.  He can hear Tiffany scream from her room.  He jumps out of bed and runs down the hall towards her.

Sarah is sound asleep in AJ bedroom.  Before she went to bed she locked the door so Brian wouldn't come in.
Brian lays in his bed; tossing and turning.  He can hardly stay asleep.  He just keeps having nightmare's about Sarah and him fighting.  All of a sudden, his apartment also starts shaking.  Sarah screams out for Brian.  He runs to AJ's room but, the door is locked.

He bangs on it and yells, "Unlock the door!"

"I'm scared Brian."  Sarah yells back.

"You'll be OK I promise; just open the door."  Brian says in a calm voice.  Sarah opens the door, Brian grabs her.  They run and stand in the door way.

AJ is asleep; while I'm only half asleep.  I keep thinking about how lucky I am to be with such a great guy.  I feel him stroke my cheek with his finger.  I roll over and look at him.

"Did I wake you?"  He asks.

"No, I was already awake."  I say.

"Why?"  AJ says.

"No reason I guess."  I say.

"Well, go to sleep."  AJ says closing my eyes with his hand.  He starts humming a song to me.  I finally fall asleep; along with AJ.
All of a sudden, the apartment starts shaking.  Before I can open my eyes; AJ pulls me off the bed as a lamp falls where I was laying.  I scream, now that I've realized what's happening.  AJ drags me to the doorway and holds me.

Shena is sound asleep in her bedroom; having dreams about her and Kevin.  Libby is in the guest room; but she's far from asleep.  She is so excited; she can hardly believe she's actually met Backstreet Boys. She thinks to herself: This is so unreal; I can't believe I actually met them.  And the way Howie looked at me, whoa!  I wonder what he's doing right now?  I've always had a big crush on him.  I wonder if the guys like me.  All of a sudden, the apartment starts shaking.  Libby jumps up from her bed and runs down the hall.

Shena comes running out of her room, grabs Libby, and yells, "Get to the doorway, it's an earthquake!"

Tiffany is shaking all over; the earthquake is scaring her so bad.  Kevin, Howie, and her are still in the doorway, waiting for the earthquake to stop.

"Oh God, make it stop!"  Tiffany yells.

Howie grabs her, puts his arms around her, and says, "It'll be all right.  Don't worry; you're going to be OK."

Brian and Sarah are standing in the doorway of Brian and AJ's apartment.  Brian has his arms around Sarah; she has her face buried in his chest.

"It's OK; it'll stop soon!"  Brian yells.

"Can't the news predict these things?  Couldn't we have gotten a warning?"  Sarah asks as she hides from the shakes.

"It'll be OK!  Just don't worry about it!  It'll stop soon!"  Brian yells.

"How can I not worry about it?"  Sarah yells.  The noise of the apartment shaking is so loud, the two can hardly hear each other.

"Oh my God AJ, be careful!"  I yell as AJ runs and grabs my puppy Alex.  Alex is sitting in the corner of my bedroom whimpering and shaking.  AJ runs up to him and picks him up.

As AJ carries him out of the room he says, "It's OK buddy.  You'll be OK."  AJ runs over and hands Alex to me.  Then he puts his arms around me.

"It should stop any minute!  Don't worry."  AJ says trying to keep me calm.

"AJ I'm so scared."  I say.  Alex whimpers as I hold him in my arms.

"How long is this going to keep going?"  Libby yells.

"I don't know.  This is the first earthquake I've ever been in!"  Shena yells back.

"I hope it's stops soon!"  Libby yells.

"Oh God, I need Kevin!"  Shena yells.  A picture falls off the wall and comes towards the two girls.  They let out a scream.
