Chapter 1
"Oh my god! I can't believe we're finally going to see the Backstreet Boys!" Cait cried.
"I know. Me, neither." Her best friend Anna shouted excitedly. "I've wanted to see them forever!"
"Oh, man! I can't wait until tonight! Not only do we get to see the Backstreet Boys in concert, but we get to meet them! I just hope I don't pass out or something!"
"You better not!"
They disolved into giggles.
"Can I see your passes, please?" the security guard asked. He didn't need to ask twice. Cait and Anna handed them over, eager to get in and meet the Boys. "Okay, go ahead." He motioned them inside the door.
Backstage, they joined a long line of people waiting to meet the Boys. A collective shriek went up from the young girls further up in the line as the Boys came into view.
They made their way down the line, signing autographs and talking to people. The first to reach Cait and Anna was AJ.
"Hello ladies. Enjoy the show?" He smiled.
"Totally. It was a blast." Anna answered, smiling back at him.
"Whoops! I guess I should intoduce myself, I'm AJ McLean." He smiled again and let his gaze travel over her.
"Yeah, I know." Anna blushed slightly and brushed a lock of her shoulder length blonde hair out of her eyes. "I'm Anna and this is my best friend, Cait."
"Anna. That's pretty. It's nice to meet you." They both turned their eyes towards Cait. AJ grinned, seeing that Howie had quietly come up behind them, his eyes now locked to Cait's.
"Hey D!" Startled, Howie and Cait broke their intense eye contact.
"What?" He gave AJ an annoyed look.
"I want you to meet Anna," he guestured to Anna, "and Cait." Howie turned back to Cait and smiled.
"Cait? Hi, I'm Howie." He held out his hand, which Cait clasped in her own.
"Hi." Her face was flushed with embarrassement. "It's nice to meet you."
"You, too. Sorry if I was staring, but...you have the most amazing eyes." He blushed a little.
"Thanks." Her face reddened again.
"So, where are you girls from?" AJ broke in.
"We're actually from B.C. We're staying with Cait's aunt for a while." Anna answered.
"How old are you?" AJ peppered Anna with more questions.
"I'm 19 and Cait's 20."
"What do you do? Are you going to university or anything?"
"AJ! Jeez! You never quit, do you?" Howie looked at him, shaking his head.
"It's okay. I don't mind." Anna smiled. "Well, we're not going to school right now. I'm into writing songs and poems and stuff. Cait sings."
"Do you?" Howie looked at Cait, whose face was once again red.
"Yes, I sing." She said self consciously, looking at her hands.
"And she plays the piano, and guitar and flute." Anna added.
"I'd like to hear you sing sometime. We're looking for a new backup singer, actually." Howie gave her a reassuring smile.
"Oh...um...that would be cool." Cait smiled.
"And you write songs, Anna? We can always use another writer, if you're interested." Howie looked questioningly at her.
"I'm interested! Totally!" Her face broke into a smile.
"Well, looks like we're going to have to a lot of talking to do, huh?" AJ grinned. "Guess you girls aren't leaving too soon."
