Within a few hours Nick and Macey had to say good-bye to each other again because it was getting late and she needed to head back to Orlando.
"I love you"Nick
"I love you too"Macey
"I'll still call you every day, and remember I'm coming down to visit this weekend, you want me to stay with you, or Brian?"Nick
"You can stay with me, cuz Callie is going back to Ohio for the weekend to help our other best friend Chantel pack up her stuff and then they are both gonna come down here, and Chantel's gonna be our other roomate."Macey
"Ok, call me tonight when you get home, cuz I wanna make sure you get there safe, and don't let the guys get too out of line"Nick said laughing
"You hear that guys, Nick's worried you're gonna be too hyper for me to drive, and that I'm gonna get destracted by you and wreck"Macey
"Oh Nicky poo we wouldn't do anything to Macey we know how much she means to you"Brian
"Yeah, Macey, ya wanna hear how much he talked about ya this time?"AJ

They were on the way home, when the guys started talking about the tour and then noticed Macey just sitting there singing to the radio.
"So Macey, what did ya do while we were gone?"AJ
"Well...my best friend and I found a dorm, registered for classes, I got a job at Virgin Records, did a few gigs, met up with local acts, scheduled time for the recording studio, and I'm gonna be the opening act for N 'Sync when they go on tour next month, but please please don't tell Nick that."Macey
"When are YOU planning to tell him this?"Kev
"In time, most likely this weekend"Macey
"I don't wanna have to do this, but I'm back to what I talked with him about before he left for your tour, I need to do this for myself, nobody else, I've been doing things my whole life for everyone else, and this is my chance to do something for me, I think he understands that."Macey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“So, Mace, what ya doing tonight?”AJ said as they were nearing Orlando.
“Well I wanted to go to Downtown Disney and do some Christmas shopping, then go to Pleaseure Island and club hop, but I don’t have anyone to go with.”Macey said to AJ.
“I’ll go”AJ replied
“Ok, do the rest of you wanna go?”Macey said looking at the other guys through her rearview mirror.
“Nope, I just wanna get home.”Brian said
“Yeah same here.”Howie chimed in.
“Maybe some other time, Macey, ‘cuz I’m kinda tired.”Kevin said. “Ok, do you want me to drive, or do you want to?”Macey said to AJ.
“I’ll drive, I’ll come get ya around 8:30, ok?”AJ said to Macey.
“That’s fine.”Macey said as they pulled into AJ’s driveway.
“Thanks sweetie, see ya in a little bit,”AJ said kissing the top of her head. Next they were pulling into Howie’s driveway.
“Thanks for bringing me home, I owe ya one,”Howie said giving her a hug. Then they reached Kevin’s house.
“Hey sweetie, get back to me some other time on the club hopping thing. Thanks again. See ya Bri.”Kevin
From Kevin’s they had 15 minutes to Brian’s house, so they started to talk about Macey’s upcoming tour. Then things were quiet for a minute until Brian broke the silence.
“Macey?” Brian said turning to Macey
“Yeah?”Macey said answereing back.
“We’ve gotta talk about you and Nick.”
“What?” Macey said sounding a bit annoyed because she didn’t want to talk to anyone except Nick about her love life.
“Well please tell Nick, SOON, about the tour, I mean he really loves you, and I’m his best friend, and I don’t want to see him get hurt, by anyone, especially the person he loves.”Brian said to Macey.
“I know, I love him too. Just give me until this weekend to tell him, I need to make sure he knows where I’m coming from on this one.”Macey said to Brian.
“Ok, ‘til this weekend, but that’s it.”Brian replied.
Just then the song “Pretty Fly For A White Guy”came on the radio, they both started to sing.
“This song is so funny!”Brian said yelling over the blaring radio.
“I know,” Macey said yelling back.
“...He’s gettin a tatoo, yeah he’s gettin ink done, he asked for a 13 but they drew a 31, friends say he’s tryin to hard and he’s not quite hip, but in his own mind he’s the dopest trip.......”Both of them sang.
They pulled up to Brian’s house.
“Thanks sweetie, for bringing me home. I really appreciate it, it was fun.”Brian said giving her a kiss on the cheek, “Goodnight, talk to ya later.”
