"You have got to be kidding me." I was shocked.
"Nope. Welcome to the Backstreet family." I couldn't move as each of the boys hugged and congratulated me.
"Pick your jaw up off the ground. You deserve this," AJ said as he laughed.
"When do I start?"
"Well, the next tour starts in a month and ends in October. If possible, we'd like you to do this tour so you can watch Obie. We want him to teach you," Donna told me.
"But I have school. It's my senior year. I want to graduate with my friends."
"Maybe we can figure something out. Let me make some phone calls. I'll be back." Donna went to her van.
"I can't believe this is happening."

"Ok, so it's all set. "You tour for 16 weeks with a tutor. You go home for 9 weeks. In January, you tour with us in Europe for 9 weeks. That's the first tour you'll be without Obie. Then, you go home for your last 9 weeks of high school and graduation. After that, you will be obligated to tour." As Donna finished reading the agreement, my parents and I nodded. I signed the papers along with my parents since I was a minor.
"Since you're not quite 18, one of your parents will have to tour. If that's not possible, we can get you a temporary guardian."
"We both work full time. We don't have time to tour," my father said as my mother agreed.
"Ok, I'll have to make some more phone calls and get back to you."

A little while later Donna returned to tell us that Denise McLean had agreed to be my temporary guardian.
I still couldn't believe that this had all just happened to me.
"Well, Nik. I know you don't want to hear this, but we have to leave."
"Ok, Mom. Just let me tell them good bye."
~<3~<3~<3~
"We'll see you again in one month. Then, we get to spend almost 4 months together," Nick whispered in my ear while we hugged. We kissed, then I told the other guys good bye.
"So, I guess this makes you my temporary sister for six months," AJ joked as I hugged him good bye.
Then, we left. My sister was still clueless to the whole situation.
