"Okay, is everyone ready to leave?" Kevin asked, as we all filed into the van that would take us to the Rosie O'Donnell show.

We all nodded, as we began our 20 minute drive to Rosie's studio.  There were 3 rows of seats:  me, Col, and Nick in the first row, AJ, Sophia, and Kevin in the second row, and Howie and Marietta in the third.  Our band was in the bus behind us… they got a huge bus because they needed to fit all of their equipment, obviously.  For some reason Nick and Col always end up sitting next to each other… hmmm, wonder why. 

AJ's View

"C'mon Sophia, I know you were staring at him yesterday, don't bull shit me." I whispered. 

"Okay, yes, I was looking at him yesterday.  He looked good, what can I say?  You know I love you AJ, so stop acting like this every time I look at another guy."

"What do you mean, 'stop acting like this'?" I asked, curious to know how it was I acted.

"Jealous."

"Jealous?  I am NOT jealous."  I mumbled, "Okay, maybe I am… I just don't wanna lose you."

"AJ, you're not going to lose me.  I love you way too much to ever leave you."

"I know… " I replied, leaning in to kiss her. 

"Oh crap!  They're at it again!" Nick shrieked, as they all turned around to stare at us.

"No, we're just…"

"Just what AJ?" Nick asked, grinning.

"Shut up Nick!" I replied, glaring at him.

"Jeez, sorry." he mumbled, turning around.

"Now where were we?"

"AJ, we can't make out here.  Everyone's gonna stare at us!" Sophia giggled.

"Yeah, who cares?" I replied, as we began our own 'public' make out session.

Nick's View

"Oh man, look at them Colleen." I whispered, motioning towards AJ and Sophia.

"Nick, do you enjoy watching people make out or something?" she giggled.

"Yeah I do.  It's interesting, for some reason.  You don't think so?"

"Well it is funny to watch, but your gonna make them uncomfortable."  she replied.

"AJ and Sophia, uncomfortable?  No way!"

"Yeah that's true.  They have no shame…" she mumbled.

"Are you still fighting with Cefi?"

"Yeah, just because I wouldn't tell her what really happened in the bathroom stall at the airport.  It's not that I don't trust her, but it was really important that no one found out." she whispered.

"I know." I replied, "I'll talk to her for you, if you want.  I could say I told you not to tell her, or something." 

"Nah, you don't have to do that Nick.  I'll take care of it, eventually."

"Alright babes."

As I said that, Brian looked over to me, and glared.  I rolled my eyes, and gave Colleen my full attention.  I planned on doing what Sophia said:  spend lots of time with her this week, which was gonna be hard since she told me she wanted to spend more time with Bri.  Oh well, he'll just have to move aside.

"So Nick, you nervous about the show today?" Kevin asked, noticing I was deep in thought.

"What?  Nah, not really, it's just Rosie."

"Yeah I know." 

"Okay guys we're here!" the driver shouted. 

"Oh Shit!" I muttered to Col, "Look at all those fans out there."

"Oh my God… guys look!" Col giggled, pointing to all of the fans hanging around outside.

Everyone just stared, in complete shock.  They were everywhere…

Colleen's View

"Guys, we're gonna have to make a run for it." Kevin whispered, as all of us stood single file, and held on to the person in front of us.  Our body guards slowly stepped out of the band's bus, and walked over to us.  They let us out, and we ran quickly to the entrance door, managing to slip by the fans, before they got a chance to rip BSB apart.

"Jeez, that was freaky." Brian shrieked, as we were shown to the backstage area. 

"Oh God, I know B, it was horrible." I replied, trying to catch my breath.

We all waited around, waiting for Rosie to come by and speak to the guys.  The band was already setting up their equipment on the stage, and the guys were slotted for the middle segment. 

"Hey look who it is!" I heard Rosie shout, and she ran over to hug all of us.  She gave us the basic idea of what was gonna happen.  They would perform, cut to commercial, and then be interviewed.  She disappeared on stage, as her show began.  All I heard was her say "Backstreet Boys" and the audience erupted in screams and applause. 

While the guys went over their routine one more time, I decided to talk to Cefi.  She was sitting all alone, with a cup of coffee in her hands.

"Hey, can I sit here?" I asked, motioning towards the seat next to her.

"Yeah, I guess so." she mumbled.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about this whole thing.  I know I should've told you what was going on, but I didn't want anyone to know… " I started.

"I wouldn't have told anyone Col.  You just don't trust me." she snapped.

"Of course I do, but I didn't want you to think I was some sort of a slut."

"That's bull shit!  You know I would never think that about you, ever."

"Okay, I'm sorry.  I did think you were gonna tell someone…"  I finally admitted.

"I knew it!  Why don't you leave me alone for awhile." she muttered, angrily.

"I'm sorry-"

"Yeah, save it Col."

"Fine, be like that."

"Okay we need the BSB on-stage.  We're moving you guys to the first segment."

"Alright." Kevin said, "C'mon guys lets go."

I wished them all good luck, as I heard Rosie introduce them.  Sophia, Marietta, and I were escorted to our seats. 

"The One" started to play, as the audience went insane. 

Their dance routine was coming along perfectly, and their singing was just right. 

"You need me, like I need you… we could share our dreams coming true… I could show you what, true love means… just take my hand, baby please…" Brian sang, his eyes looking directly into mine. 

"Col!  Aw, he's so sweet." Marietta gushed.

"I know, he really is." I mumbled, as I smiled back at him.

"You should really take him Colleen, because Nick doesn't love you…" Sophia shouted.

"W-what?" I stammered. 

"You're not supposed to know this, but he told me he doesn't love you… he's just using you for sex.  I'm sorry Colleen." she muttered, smiling. 

I turned to face the front, where the guys had gathered next to Rosie.

"When we come back, more with BSB!" she shouted, and the audience continued to go crazy. 

The guys were led to seats, but I hardly noticed anything going on around me.  I couldn't believe what Sophia just told me… why would Nick use me?  He's not the type of person who would do something like that…

"Col, are you okay?" Marietta asked. 

"Oh yeah, I'm fine." I lied.

"Alright everyone, we're back with the wonderful Backstreet Boys." Rosie shrieked.

"Hmmm, you guys are the most successful boyband out there right now!  How does that make ya'll feel?" she continued.  The interview went on for awhile.  She talked to them about complete nonsense most of the time… you know, movies, cartoons… really silly crap. 

"So now comes the most interesting part of the interview.  Who has a girlfriend?"

"I'm seeing someone… hey Sophia!  Love you baby." AJ shouted, waving to her.  She blushed, and smiled back at him.

"My girlfriend's here, her name's Marietta." he mumbled.

"Hmmm, I just started going out with a dancer for BSB, Elyse.  She's really special to me." Kevin said, shyly. 

"How about you Brian?" Rosie asked, smiling.

"Well, I'm not seeing anyone right now, but I'm in love with a great girl.  She's perfect in every way.  She's everything to me…" he looked towards me, and I had to fight back tears.  I was putting him through so much pain.

"Nick?  You've got anyone special in your life?"

"Um, no, no one special right now." he said, weakly.  I don't know why, but I was crushed.  I guess Sophia was telling the truth… he didn't love me.  He was lying to me, when he said he did. 

Nick's View

"Guys, great show." Kevin shouted, making sure we all heard him.  We were backstage, waiting around for Rosie to come backstage and say good-bye. 

I can't believe Brian actually said he was in love with a 'great girl.' Obviously we all knew who he was talking about. 

"Nick, come here for a second." Col said, as I walked over to the corner of the backstage area.  She pulled me into a closet.

Before I could open my mouth, she slapped me across the face.

"What the hell was that for?" I snapped, angrily.

"You want sex?  Go hire some whore Nick, because it won't be ME anymore.  I can't believe I actually bought that whole 'I love you' act.  I'm so stupid!" she shrieked.

"What are you talking about?  I don't want sex…"

"Don't bull shit me Nick.  Sophia told me…"

"Told you what?"

"That you don't really love me, and that you just used me for sex.  You thought that she wouldn't tell me?" 

"Col, I swear I never said that."

"What did you say?"

"All I said was that I wasn't sure if I loved you… I'm confused…"

"Bull shit…" she shouted, before running out of the closet.

Fuck…

Brian's View

I saw Colleen run towards me, in tears.

"Collie, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the corner.

"Kiss me." she mumbled, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"What?  Why were you crying, tell me."

"It doesn't matter now, Brian, I want you.  So kiss me…"

I pressed my lips against hers, and she kissed back eagerly.  When we finally pulled apart, she smiled at me, and kissed my neck.  We both turned around to see everyone, including Rosie O'Donnell, staring at us, in shock.
