~*Chapter Seven*~
"Every body, (yeah), rock your body…" Salym and Faye heard as they entered the hall. They looked around in awe at the size of the stadium … then at the guys, of course!
Kevin had seen Faye come in and waved to her with a big grin on his face.
"Guys, hold it up for a sec, kay?" asked Kev as he jumped off the stage and made his way down to Faye and Salym.
"Hey!" Kevin said as he gave both of them a hug. Then he took hold of Salym’s hand and took her aside, apologizing to Faye as he did.
"Have you seen AJ?" He asked quietly, looking concerned. "Cos he isn’t here … our concert’s in three hours … do you know where he got to?"
"No … he didn’t say anything to me about not coming … then again he didn’t say anything about coming. Ummmm… I can go look for him if you want," she offered.
Kevin said thankfully, "Have fun!" and walked off to meet Faye.
Salym followed him. "Faye, gimme the keys, girl. I’m on a mission!"
Faye threw her the keys and she walked out of the hall.
At Salym’s Apartment.
Salym walked up to her apartment and saw a note on her door. It read:
‘ Salym,
I gotta be somewhere …
And I know that when you find out
it’s gonna hurt you …
So I am asking your forgiveness
in advance.
Love ya heaps,
AJ’
Salym started to get worried, and went and knocked on AJ’s door, just in case, not expecting anyone to be home. But, someone answered the door.
"Hi, can I help you?" a girl asked.
Salym just looked at her with a shocked expression on her face.
"Yeah … Ummmm, could I s-s-speak to A-AJ?" She barely managed to say.
"Sure," the girl answered, a puzzled look on her face. "AJ! SOMEONE AT THE DOOR FOR YOU!"
"He’ll be here in a sec," she told Salym quietly, and left the doorway.
Salym peered inside and saw AJ throwing on a shirt hurriedly. "Duh, its for me … I kinda live here dill!" Salym heard him say as he gave the girl a hug.
"Oh!" AJ saw Salym in the door. "W-What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I came to see if you were all right… you obviously are, so I’ll just leave …" Salym turned on her heel and left.
"Salym!" AJ called behind her. "Wait up!"
"NO, you listen to me Mister." She said sternly. "Don’t think that anything you say can make me feel better…cos I have already seen enough. Just stop." And she turned and walked away.
"Stupid!" AJ muttered as he hit his head and walked into his apartment.
"Who was that?" asked the girl.
"Only my girlfriend!" AJ said angrily. "Why did you answer the door anyways! Man, she had a hard enough time getting over her ex cos he cheated on her, now she thinks I’m doing the same. Man!"
"Well, I think I better go too … I just wanna say thanks again for helping me today. You’ve got a really good listening ear, you know that?" said the girl, giving him a hug. "I hope things get better with your girlfriend," she called, giving him a kiss on the cheek and closing the door behind her.
"Dammit!" cried AJ, and sat down, his head in his hands.
Later That Night, At The Concert
Salym was fuming. ‘I knew I shouldn’t have come!’ she kept thinking, over and over again. Then one of their ballads would play and she would think, ‘Maybe I was wrong about AJ … I hope I was wrong!’
"How is everyone tonight?" Nick yelled as thousands of screaming fans screeched back at him.
"OK, that was the answer I was looking for! So anyways, I have something very important to say, so I need you guys to shush up a bit, kay?" he asked.
When the hall seemed somewhat quieter, he continued.
"So, there is a really special person here tonight, and this someone is feeling real bad about something she saw today …" Nick started.
Salym looked up sharply when she realized that he was talking about her.
"Anyways, one of us wants her to know that it is not what it seems, and to meet him at the place where they first met. That’s all from him. BUT, all of us others want this girl to know how special she is to us, and this is dedicated to her."
The opening notes for "Anywhere for you" came over the speakers, and the rest of the guys walked out and began to sing. Salym looked at AJ, and she knew that he had never sung that song with so much meaning ever before. Her heart melted, and she carefully made her way to the doors, so that she could go someplace to get ready.
Faye followed her, and giggled as she thought of what Nick had said.
"Wow, girl you are so lucky!" she said, punching Salym lightly on the arm.
"I know!" said Salym shyly, thinking of what the rest of the night might have in store for her.
