" Do you think this is too much?" Trish asked walking into my room. She had on a short dress that was above her knees, it was light pink with stars or something on it. Her hair was curled a little up half way.
" Who are you trying to impress?"
" Um....A.J." I laughed a little.
" Nope not too much at all then."
" I think you should wear a skirt or something to reveal your long legs to Nick."
" He's just my friend! How many times do I need to tell ya'll that we're nothing more?"
" Until you two end up hooking up." I threw my YM magazine at her.
" Whatever, I'm wearing this so lets get going." I had on khaki pants, with a light blue tank top that had a butterfly on it, and I tied a white sweater around my waist in case I was cold. My hair was left down, and my angled hair framed my face.
" Fine, fine, I'm driving!" She yelled and ran out of the house. I followed her slowly behind.
It took us about 45 minutes to get there because of traffic and we were in Tampa before that. ( AUTHORS NOTE: I'm not really sure how far away Tampa is from Orlando. I think its further then what I said.) It took us another 10 minutes to find a parking spot. Which was on like the other side of the arena.
" Hey Stace, maybe I should drop you off first."
" Nah I'll be fine, but thanks."
" If you say so." She turned off the engine and we began our 6 minute walk to the arena. It was only 5:30 and there were girls all over the place.
We showed a body guard our passes, which we Kevin had been so nice to give me. And was able to keep a secret from Nick. He walked us into the back part which looked like a lounge. " The guys are in wardrobe and make up, I'll let them know you're here."
" Actually its a surprise, so don't tell them."
" Alright." He walked away and we sat down.
" I can't wait for the concert. I've always wanted to see Nick in action."
Trish laughed and shook her head. " What?!" I asked defending myself.
" Nothing. I can't wait to see A.J. I 've seen some footage off of MTV and I mean he sure knows how to thrust his pelvis." She swung her arms as if showing me.
" Ugh..." Just then the door opened and Brian walked in.
" Hey Trish, A.J. is down the hall. He could give you some pointers on that." Brian laughed and she blushed a little.
" Don't mind if I do." She got up and walked out of the room.
" They would be perfect for each other." I nodded my head in agreeing with Brian. He looked back over to me. "Hey girl, how are ya?" He asked walking over to me. I stood up and gave him a hug. " And how long has this been going on for?" He asked in shock.
" What?" I asked innocently.
" You, you walking." I giggled like a two year old.
" Towards the end of June I guess. I wanted to surprise you guys and Nick."
" Well you sure did. I'm so happy for you." He gave me another hug.
" Thank you. I am too. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start dancing again."
" You will, I know you will. Hey you should go walk in on Nick now. He's kinda down."
" Why?"
" I think he's coming down with the flu. Which I'm glad its now cause when he gets sick, he gets sick! And now he can rest after tonight."
" Aww poor baby. Alright lets go surprise him. I hope he didn't see Trish."
Brian and I walked down the hall and found Nick curled up in a ball on a couch. He looked so sweet, like a little child. I walked in farther and stood above Nick. He had his eyes closed.
" Hey Nick." I said.
" Oh hey Anastasia." He rolled over. "Anastasia?!" He jumped up.
