Are You Happy Now?{Chapter 5}

Within hours night had fallen and the sunrise had come up. Crystal was still asleep. Then she heard a knock at the door. Crystal opened her eyes slowly, she began grumbling some because she didn't appreciate anyone waking her up at 8:30 am. When Crystal opened the door there was Courtney, Jennifer, Leighanne, and Kristin.

"Hey Girl!" said Courtney with a smile.

Crystal rolled his eyes and said "What are you guys doing up so early ?"

"Well the boys went out this morning around 7 and off to the golf course to play some golf..ya know a guy's thing..besides Crys..we want you to come out of that room and go swimming with us" said Leighanne

"Besides we want you come with us and have some fun..who knows there could be some really cute guys here you can flirt with Crys" said Kristin. Crystal sighed and then said "Ok..but I don't have anything to wear though" "Awh that's okay you borrow my other leopard bikini suit..I have like two sets" said Jennifer.

"Ok ok alright I'll go, but I'm not gonna like it" said Crys. "You will have fun I promise" said Courtney,she took Crystal's hand and then and they all went outside to main lobby and into the Ladies lockeroom to change inot their bikini's. Courtney wore a black and white bikini,Jennifer a red bikini, Leighanne a white bikini and Kristin a purple bikini. Of Crystal wore the beautiful lepaord bikini. The pool deck was beautiful. The sun was shining and the the lawn chairs were gorgeous.

Crystal and Courtney couldn't believe how many cute guys there were " Hey Court why don't we flirt with some guys" said Kristin with a smirk. Courtney shook her head no and then in the corner of her eyes, she saw guy in the distance that was taking his shirt off. This guy was somewhat tall, short blond hair, and blue eyes just like Nick's and he was holding a six-pack on his chest.

"I'm must be dreaming no way in the hell could that be Nick" Courtney kept staring at the guy. Crystal noticed her stunned look and turned her way and there she saw the blond stranger, she sighed and her mind her went bisert.

"Whoa! momma! that is one cute guy.." all of her pain seem to be going away and still Crystal's heart began pounding. The blond stranger looked up and saw Crystal, he smiled over at her. Crystal face turned alittle red. She turned around and saw the big ass smiles all over Courtney, Leighanne, Jennifer, and Kristin's faces.

"No way you guys..yeah right..,not even in this lifetime would that hunk have a thing for me" said Crystal trying to show a serious face. " Ok whatever Crys..you can tell him whatever you want ..because umm he's heading right this way" said Jennifer giggling alittle bit. Crystal turned around and the blond stranger was almost here His deep dark blond hair was wet and he ran his fingers through it."So guys what should I say or what should I do?" asked Crystal by the time she asked this her friends were out of sight and on their way to the pool seats. Courtney turned her thumbs up as if to say "Good Luck!". Then the blond stranger was right behind Crystal, he then tapped her on the shoulder. Crystal jumped some when she turned around to see who it was, her eyes seem to pop out of her head.

"Excuse me Miss..but you seem to be one of the prettiest girls I've seen so far in this pool area, do you work out ?" asked the blond stranger.

"Uhh yes I do...every single day it's alot of fun..I see that you work out too" said Crystal flirtatiously.

The blond stranger laughed and then he said " My name is Chad, what's yours?"

"Crystal.my friends call me Crys..either one if fine" said Crystal with a smile. Chad's eyes seem to sparkle in his eyes. Then Chad spoke up and said "Hey Crystal umm tonight I'm going to see the movie Freddy Vs. Jason..actually it's with me and some of my friends..and they surely will have dates..so I was wondering if you like to hang out with me tonight ?" asked Chad.

"I'd love to "said Crystal.

"Alright Crys..how does 7pm sound to you ?" asked Chad.

" Anytime is perfect for me" said Crystal "Great then it's a date then" said Chad smiling. Then Chad began walking to the bar and grabbing a drink. Crystal then walked calm and cool back to her friends and then she screamed with excitement.

"Omg! I'm going out with Chad!" "So that's his name" said Leighanne laughing some.

"Wow what's the date ?" asked Kristin "Well he and I are going to the movies tonight!" said Crystal excitedly.

"Great, sounds like fun what time?" asked Courtney

"Uhhh 7pm tonight..Court you have to help me to pick out an outfit tonight oh my gosh..this is soo awesome I finally get an date and no worries about anything..it feels great to me" said Crystal with a huge smile her face.

That night at 7pm Crystal's date arrived at her door. He was wearing some jeans and a t-shirt. Crystal almost fell seeing that he was incredibly hot. Crystal had such gorgeous makeup, her hair was down and flat-ironed,she wore a long black pants and a red peasant top. She showed a little cleveage. Chad was in awe when she saw her.

"Wow Crys..you look beautiful" said Chad.

"Thank you.." said Crystal with a smile. The two of them got into his black honda and drove off the movies. Crystal met Chad's friends and thought they were really nice and funny as well as cool to hang out with.

During the movie Crystal and Chad were getting kinda close, when the nasty and yet scary scenes approached Crystal burried her face onto Chad's shoulder. Chad smiled and laughed some, at one small point of the film Crystal and Chad looked up at each other and then Chad leaned down and kissed Crystal. When the movie was over Crystal and Chad said their goodbyes, but before Chad left he then looked at Crystal and said " I had a really great time with you"

"So did I." said Crystal

"Wanna do this again ?" asked Chad

"Sure how about tomarrow night" said Chad "Tomorrow sounds great" said Crystal. "Ok Great" said Chad. He kissed her goodnight and left. When the door was closed Crystal stood on the door, here eyes were shinning stars of Heaven. She was in a place where love conqured everything. She walked to her bed slowy and lightly fell on it.

Then her phone rang, it was Courtney. "So How was it ?" asked Courtney

"It was soo great..he's wonderful and I have nothing to hide from him." "Well I'm sure he really likes you...like he was smirking at you when you left the pool" said Courtney laughing.

"Court for right, he's the guy I'm dating and will for a while " said Crystal "Is AJ back from his golfing ?"

"Yes AJ is back from golfing and let me tell you..he got his ass stung by a big black hornet and his cute butt is now swollen, so while he lays right next to me naked I'm placing a huge thing of ice down on his big butt " Courtney said laughing.

AJ was in the back grumbeling because Courtney hit his swollen butt and kept turning over the big bag of ice.

"Sweetie..you may be uncomfotable but just wait till I get a butterknife and stick in your ass to get that stinger out of your butt" said Courtney looking at AJ and shaking her finger. Crystal began laughing histerically in the background.

Hours of telling Courtney about the date Crystal went to bed. she began dreaming about Nick, and hoping one day they would get together and he would truly listen to her.

The next evening Chad came right on time to pickup Crystal. Crystal wore some kahkis, with a white tank top and tennis shoes. Unfortunately for a joke, Chad wore the same thing. The both of them thought it was funny. They both headed out the door and onto the theathers. When they got there, the ticket had explained that there was a huge problem, all the tickets had been sold and they would have to wait till tommarrow for tickets.

Crystal frowned and said "This totally sucks, I was looking forward into seeing Freddy Vs. Jason, and now we can't till tomorrow"

"Ah babe it's ok...we still have alot time, the night is our friend and were gonna use it wisely" said Chad with a smirk.

" Ya if you don't mind me butting in this conversation, but there's a aumusement park just a few miles from here and it seems like it's alot of fun" said the ticket manager.

"Let's go there" said Crystal. witha smile. Chasd smiled back and the got into the car and drove off to the aumusement park called Haunted Island.

The park was the biggest park you could ever seen in your life. Rollercoasters galore,food stands everywhere, and all kinds of crazy monsters lurking about. Girls and guys were screaming and having alot of fun. When Crystal and Chad came to the entrance, a tall scary clown was standing there taking the money.

"Hello, Welcome to Haunted Island, the place where you most biggiest fears come true" said the clown laughing, his eyes then changed from blue to red and he began growing claws and his teeth grew incredibly. When Chad grabbed the change from the clown he and Crystal looked up and saw the Clown's face. Their faces turning alitlte white.

"Have a safe expierence, and hope you survive the night" said the clown giving a huge scary smile. Chad and Crystal smiled, they then walked into the park together holding hands. All over the place you could all kinds of spooky noises roaming the area. It could send shivers down your spine.

Meanwhile while Crystal and Chad were on their second date, Nick was tierd of looking around and figured he needed some fun. He then saw Haunted Islands while driving around. Nick stopped his car and then got out and walked to the front.

He paid his money and when we went in, he then got this sudden feeling that Crystal was around. "No way in the world could be Crystal be here" said Nick to himself. He then ignored the feeling and went off to one of the haunted houses which is where Crystal and Chad were heading to as well. The haunted a was big and black house, bats were flying everywhere and you could ever hour the tall tower's bell was ringing loudly.

Crystal and Chad of course there had to be four people or more going inside at once. So Nick grabbed a girl that was right behind him walked inside with them.

"Hi I'm Stephanie" said the girl

"Hi I'm Steve" said Nick making up a name so that he wouldn't give out his real name."It's nice to meet you Steve" said Stephanie The both of them shook hands.

"Would you mind walking with me into the house?" asked Nick

"Sure I would love to" said Stephanie. Nick took Stephanie's hand and waited foe the door to open. Nick looked at the two people that were infront of him. The girl looked somewhat like Crystal, this made him think about Crystal for a little while, but then remembered that she was back at her house with the others.

When Chad, Crystal, Nick, and Stephainie got to the front doorstep there was a door mat that read, "WELCOME".

"You wanna go ahead in?" asked Chad.

"Sure whenever you ready" said Crystal. Chad took her hand and then they opened the door. "Well I guess we have no other choice,but to go on: said Chad "I could go with that" said Stephanie.. The first room was quite dark, you couldn't see anything, you had to feel your way into the next room.

As Chad, Crystal, Stephanie,and Nick walked they were half way to the next room, all of a sudden a tall man with torn jeans and a bloody shirt jumped out with the biggiest chain saw you could ever see. Crystal, Stephanie, Chad, and Nick began screaming and running for their lives. By accident Nick had taken the wrong turn and Crystal followed him and Chad had run to the next room with Stephanie right behind him..

The man stopped and then knew he couldn't go into the next room but he could go inot the room where Nick and Crystal ran off into. He then went off to chase after them . When Crystal and Nick got into the next room, which was the wrong room Nick took Crystal's hand and they walked slowly trying to find a way out of there They both had no idea that were together and holding each other's hands, Crystal believed she was still with Chad.

"Well Chad I guess we took the wrong turn" said Crystal as she began shaking some. "Hey I'm sorry but I'm not your boyfriend Chad, my name is Steve and I might've made the both of us take the wrong room" said Nick

"Oh my name is Kimmy" said Crystal she knew that Steve's voice sounded famamilar but she didn't dare to trying to think about who it really was."..Steve then we gotta get out of here, my boyfriend is gonna be worried about me" said Crystal.

"Don't worry Kimmy I'll make sure nothing happens to you". The two of them went further and futher into the room. Then all of sudden, the two of them began hearing a dripping sound. Drip Drip Drip went the sound. They continued down the room to see try figure out what the stuff that was dripping. All of a sudden out of nowhere the stuff that was dripping fell on Nick's head.

"Ah! some of it is on me" said Crystal wipping her head. " What does it fell like?"asked Nick.

"Well...it feels like thick..nothing like water.."Nick took some from her hands and then sniffed it and said "Oh my god! it's blood"

"Ouch! something hit me on the head" said Nick rubbing his head. Crystal picked it up and said Nick is that your hand I'm feeling?" asked Crystal."No it's not " said Nick shaking some.

Nick began feeling the hand some and it ended quite short. "Ya something there's something odd about this hand..it's like there's no shoulder to this hand and the bottem feels k-kinda smushy" "I don't like it here"

"Me either" said Nick.

The two of them turned around. Then there right infront of them was the man with the chainsaw, he began laughing histerically. Crystal and Nick began screaming. They ran right under the man's legs and out of the room. The man was almost on the butts when they made it to the next room. Crystal and Nick began breathing really hard.

"Hey baby you alright?" said Chad as he ran to Crystal and hugged her.

"Yeah I'm fine, thanks to Steve here". Chad turned to Nick and said "Hey dude thanks for watching out for my girlfriend, it really means alot to me" said Chad giving a small hand shake to Nick.

"Sure it's cool" said Nick.

"Come on baby let's go off to the ferris wheel" "Ok sounds great". The two of them walked away. "Hey Steve you alright" asked Stephanie

"Yeah i'm fine thanks for being my partner in the house" said Nick

"Oh sure no problem" Stephanie then began walking away. Nick decided to walk around the park, then later on he would get on the ferris wheel to think about where Crystal would be.

Nick then walked up to a nearby food stand and ordered chicken fingers and potatoe fingers ( Chicken tenders and French Fries).

Chad and Crystal went over to the ferris wheel, but right next to it was a food stand as well. They ordered some bat guts with some cow blood(Hamburgers with ketchup).

As soon as they were done eating they headed off the ferris wheel. Then Nick did the same. Chad and Crystal got onto the Ferris Wheel, while Nick got into the next cart. The ferris wheel was full and then it began to run.

"So am I the first boyfriend to ever take you someplace like this ?"asked Chad

"Well sorta no, the last guy I was with..I'm not sure if I should ever be calling him my boyfriend..he was one of those guys who never gave you a chance to explain yourself" said Crystal.

"That was cruel, I would never do that to you, I would always let my girlfriend explain herself and no believe the jackass that was spreading lies about you" said Chad placing his arm around Crystal's shoulder. Crystal smiled.The two of them leaned in for a long kiss.

Nick watched as he saw Crystal and Chad kiss, he then began thinking of Crystal" Crys baby..whereever you're I want you to know I love you and I'm sorry for everything" Said Nick looking out of the cart of the ferris wheel.

For the rest of the night Chad and Crystal spend time together, they had a blast. Crystal was soo happy with the time she wa spending with Chad and began forgetting Nick. Untill Nick came back to Crystal and apologized she would be with Chad.

Chad and Crystal stayed up pretty late at the Haunted Island. The two of them were having such a blast together,nothing could ruin their day. When they both got back to the hotel and they were on Crystal's door step.

Crystal looked up into Chad's eyes for a little bit and then she said "Hey..I had a great time baby" said Crystal.

"So did I" said Chad smiling.

"Hey you wanna come inside ?" asked Crystal as she adjusted the doorknob so they could walk right in.

"Yeah sure I would love to" said Chad. Crystal opened the door and the two of them walked into the room. Chad observed the room and thought it was a really a nice place to staying for a little while.

"You have a great room" said Chad

"Oh thanks, my friends picked out for me" said Crystal looking through her purse for a little pink cotton candy lip gloss. She placed some on her lips and then turned back to see Chad shirtless. Inside Crystal was screaming so loud, but she didn't dare show it out in the open.

"You look good " said Crystal as she saw Chad trying to make her laugh some with his breast shaking. Crystal blushed and Chad laughed, he gave Crystal a big smirk on face. Chad walked up to Crystal and placed hish soft hands onto Crystal face, running his other hand through her hair. Crystal sighed deeply and looked up at Chad. He leaned down and kissed her, placing his hands on her face and then running them down her neck.

Crystal hadn't felt this good since she and Nick had spent theri precious night together at the club. When these visions wenr through her mind, she began thinking that this was wrong. She sorta pushed away from him.

"What's wrong ?" asked Chad as Crystal walked away from him.

"I feel alittle weak Chad, maybe I should lay down for a while" said Crystal holding he head.

"Alright " said Chad he picked her up and took her into the bedroom, he layed her down on the bed. Crystal smiled weakly. Chad walked into the bathroom and grabbed her a cool towel and placed it on her forehead.

"Hey maybe I should call one of your friends" said Chad "Yeah could you"said Crystal.

"Ok" said Chad, then saw the hotel room numbers and on it said the rooms of Crystal's friends.

"Looks like your friend Courtney isn't too far away from you " said Chad as he began dialing the number to her room.

Over in Courtney and AJ's room the two of them were watching a movie, the movie was Shakespeare In Love.

Unfortuanately AJ and Courtney weren't really watching to much of the movie. They were kissing each other and moving their hands all over each other. Courtney then heard the phone.

"Hey baby I hear the phone" said Courtney trying to move some.

"Oh no you don't sweetie" said AJ moving ontop of Courtney so she couldn't get up and grab the phone.

"Honey I have to..it might Crystal wanting to talk about her date..it might be important" Courtney said as she began whining some. AJ began grinning.

"No, I don't want you to leave me all by myself" said AJ making a puppy dog face.

Courtney rolled her eyes and laughed some and then said "Yes I must get up for few minutes" Courtney then slid under AJ's body tickeling him until she got off of the couch. AJ began grumbeling, Courtney looked at him with shock and said

"Hey Grinch I'll be back, then you have me all to yourself" Courtney said smiling, she then winked at AJ. AJ began smirking.

Courtney ran over to the phone and picked it up."Hello ?" said Courtney.

"Hello is this Courtney ?" asked Chad over the reciever.

"Yes this is she how may I help you ?" said Courtney putting the phone closer to her face so that could hear Chad over the phone.

"Well I'm Crystal's boyfriend Chad and maybe you could help me out some, you see right now I just brought her back to her room and well she and I were kinda getting alittle intimate and then for some reason she pushed me away some" said Chad.

"Oh really hmmm...that doesn't sound like her, can you please tell me more"said Courtney

" Yeah, she then told me she was feeling alittle weak and her skin color seemed to me like it was alittle pale..would you mind coming over and seeing what's going on?": asked Chad ,p>"Well sure..but I..." said Courtney, she then heard AJ calling for her.

"Baby..where are you..you off the phone yet "said AJ, he began sitting up and turning his body so that he was facing Courtney.

Courtney looked to him and said "AJ I don't think I can come back" AJ's mouth dropped.

"Why..who is that on the phone?" asked AJ as he got up from the couch and walked over towards Courtney.

"Hello?" said Chad talking again thinking that he lost Courtney on the phone "Hello Chad, I'll be right there" said Courtney

"OK" said Chad they both hung up the phone.

"Hey baby, what's going on..you look alittle upset?"said AJ looking at Courtney he took her hand to show he was concerned about her.

"Well it's Crys, she's not feeling soo good and I wanna go check on her"said Courtney looking at AJ.

" I'll go with you" said AJ. They grabbed some clothes and the key to their room and locked the room and went down to check on Crystal.

Back in Crystal's room Chad was rubbing Crystal's head and putting on and off the cool towel that was placed onto Crystal's head. "I love you Crys" said Chad kissing her on the cheek.

Within a few minutes or so Courtney and AJ arrived at Crystal's room. Chad got up from the bed to let them in.

" Hey Where is she?" asked Courtney

"Over there on her bed" said Chad pointing to the bedroom. Courtney and AJ walked over and saw Crystal. Courtney placed her purse down on the floor, and went to sit on Crystal's room while AJ went outside to get some fresh air

" Holler if you need me sweetheart" AJ said. Courtney then turned her head away from AJ and turned to Crystal and Chad.

"Well Chad she does look alittle sick. what did you guys eat out tonight ?"asked Courtney looking up at Chad who knew Crystal really didn't wanna talk that much because she wasn't feeling too well.

"Well we had some cow guts" said Chad, Courtney looked at with a gross look and said " Oh my god! where in the heck did you all go for dinner or the second date" said Courtney.

"Well went to this place callec Haunted Island, we went there because that movie Freddy Vs.Jason was packed and there were no more seats to go see it, so we decided to go have some fun at Haunted Island" said Chad

"Oh, and what's this food you all ate?" asked Courtney still giving Chad a nasty look like she was gonna throwup.

"It was a hamburger only, they had some funny names for everything to make the place really scary like" said Chad

"Ah I see, well I'm guessing she must've went on some rides for her to be feeling like this" said Courtney placing the towel all over Crystal's face.

"Yeah possibly" said Chad. Chad then began to yawn and said "Hey would you mind if I layed down some, my eyes are beginning to die on me?"

"Sure go right ahead, actually if you want me and AJ can stay here with her all night and you can come check on her in the morning if you want"said Coutney standing up and looking at Chad.

"You sure, cuz I can stay with her and let you and your boyfriend go back to your room" " I would love that dude" AJ said laughing from, the balcony.

"AJ!?, we're gonna stay here and help Crys out, she needs some attention" said Courtney as poked out the of room and onto the balcony.

"Ok thanks" said Chad. He then walked over to Crystal, he kissed her on the lips and said "I'll be back tomarrow to check on you" Crystal nodded her head slowly and then went to sleep. AJ escorted Chad to the door, he waved good-bye and slammed the door

.When Crystal went so sleep. AJ walked slowly and quitely passed Crystal, trying not to wake her up and walked outside on the balcony where Courtney was sitting in a chair and looking at the sky.

"You know I hope Crys's illness doesn't lead to anything serious"said Courtney

"Oh don't worry, she's probably just really tired from all the fun she has with what was his name?" AJ asked

"Oh his name was Chad honey " said Courtney

" Chad..yeah he seems like he's really into Crys" said AJ

"Yah I agree, but I still believe she loves Nick, but she's just dating around till Nick comes back for her" said Courtney

" Yeah...baby I know..it's soo odd how I haven't heard from Nick in a while, he just seems like he vanishes after the park incident" said AJ " Yes, it's very wierd, but I'm sure Nick will turn up soon" said Courtney.

AJ turned to Courtney and said " You know we never got to finish our little Shakespeare movie" said AJ smirking.

"Oh no we didn't" Courtney said smiling back. AJ placed his hands on Courtney's face and kissed her, his lips touching hers, he began deepening the kiss and placing his arms around her neck. As the moon shone over in the distance AJ and Courtney shared their night of romance and kissed under the stars on Crystal's balcony.

The very next day the sun was out and it was a beautiful day. Crystal was feeling alot better, the gang including Chad since he was Crystal's boyfriend had decided to outside and hang out at the beach behind the hotel. AJ and Courtney informed everyone on Crystal's illness the night before and they all promised to keep a close eye on Crystal if her sickness started happening again. Crystal and Chad were tanning each other, Kristin and Kevin with Brian and Leighanne were out in the cool fresh water, while Howie and Jennifer were out at the juice bar having strawberry daquires.

AJ and Courtney were walking on the soft white sand. They both held hands happier than ever.

Although Courtney was having a blast walking with her boyfriend, something inside wasn't feeling too right. She began thinking of the possibilities of what could be happening to Crystal.

"Could she be really sick and not know it...or could she be pregant..no way could she be pregnant.if she was she would've told me or had more symptoms then being pale in the face..but I guess I wouldn't know much about that yet...but wait could what Chad told me the other night about her getting sick after getting of the ferris wheel ?" said Courtney to herself. She couldn't get any of these questions out of her head. AJ noticed that she was looking off into space

"Court..you alright..baby....Court talk to me" said AJ shaking Courtney alittle. Then Courtney was slapped back into reality.

"Huh?...what oh AJ what's up?" said Courtney looking at him as if there was something wrong with him.

"Shouldn't you be telling me?"asked AJ

"What..What are you talking about ?"asked Courtney looking at AJ like she was really confused and didn't know what the hell he was talking about. She then thought about it for a moment and said "Oh honey..it was nothing..I was just thinking of Crys and how she was sick last night...trying to figure what was wrong with her" said Courtney looking out at Crystal and Chad who having such a relaxing time at the beach sitting together.

"I'm sure she's fine now sweetheart..come on let's go get a ice cream" said AJ

"Ok"said Courtney smiling. The both of them got up and walked up to the beach. As they passed by they saw Howie and Jennifer laughing as they were talking about their own lives. AJ shook his head and said to himself "Two crazy love birds all over this freakin beach" he made a little chuckle loud enough for Courtney to hear him. Courtney shook her head and said "Leave them alone, let them have their own quality time together". AJ sighend and nodded okay.

When they got to the ice cream parlor, they ordered what theyy wanted. Courtney ordered chocolate chips ice cream and AJ ordered a chocolate popscile. Courtney then stuck out her ice cream and placed some on AJ's nose. AJ laughed and stuck some of his chocolate onto Courtney's nose. They both licked the mess of each others noses and smiled. Then they gave alittle kiss.

All of a sudden AJ's cell phone rang AJ looked at it and it read Jive Records. He looked up at Courtney and said "Hey baby I gotta get this" Courtney nodded her head.

As AJ began talking into the phone Courtney snuck over and opened her ears so that she could listen to his conversation.

"Hello" answered AJ "

Yes AJ this is your manager Mr. Huston"

"Yes What can I do for you?" AJ asked.

"Well first thing is first.. I'm sorry to cut you guys on your vacation on such short notice but you and the boys must reuturn back to the studio cuz the fans have been asking for the Black and Blue tour to come to their town and recently I figured you all wanted to earn some money" said Mr. Huston.

As AJ was continuing his conversation Courtney began feeling kinda sad, seeing AJ leave was kinda heartbroken moment for her, something she couldn't bare. She and him had just met and spent a week together. That wasn't very long and he already was leaving her.

A few tears ran from her face. She breathed and wipped the tears from her face. She had to be strong and be brave about this. "Yeah ok thanks bye"said AJ as he hung up the phone. AJ sighed and rubbed his head and then turned to Courtney who had the expression on her face as if she was gonna cry.

"Who was that ?"asked Courtney looking at AJ.

"Our manager"said AJ.

"For your music ?" asked Courtney

"Yeah...he saids he we have to stop our vacation and come back to work..the fans wants to see us on tour for the new album" said AJ looking at Courtney with such a sincere look.

"Oh..it's fine..do what you have to do"said Courtney, she was about to ready to cry again...she wasd lying to AJ and it wasn't okay for him to leave her soo suddenly. She was lying to herself and she knew it.

"Your sure your okay with this baby ?"asked AJ

"Yeah AJ I'm fine..I'm not gonna be selfish and keep you all to myself..hey I'm gonna stay here..why don't you gather everyone around..they need to hear this too"said Courtney looking at Courtney. AJ nodded his head and walked passed Courtney and went off to grab the others.

As he left Courtney Courtney's eyes began filling up with water. She didn't want AJ to leave, she began feeling so alone.

Within 15 minutes the whole gang was together and AJ broke down the news to everyone. Kristin, Leighanne and Jennifer were weren't so happy that they couldn't go back on tour the with guys. Kevin explained that they all could go but the problem was Chad,Crystal and Courtney they had never been on tour, and Crystal was sick and needed people to keep a good eye on her, but Chad wasn't a backstreet boy.That was the biggiest problem of all.Then Kristin spoke up and telling Kevin and pleading that maybe he could go and seeing that Crystal was sick that she could come along too. Kevin liked the idea that Kristin sugguested. Everyone agreed.

As the group began to leave the beach and head back to the Hotel Crystal began feeling nasious. She then thewup. Chad began rubbing her back.

"Ok that's it Missy were taking you to the doctor Crystal Ann"said Brian.

"We will take her"said AJ. Chad nodded his head and then helped Crystal into the car. AJ and Courtney drove Crystal to the hospital.

When they arrived. Crystal, AJ and Courtney went into the back room. Crystal began to change her clothes with AJ and Courtney waiting outiside for Crystal.

Within 15 minutes Dr. Scott came into the room. He was a young doctor, very tall and handsome, medium brown hair and green eyes.

"Ah I assume your Ms. Smith am I correct?" said the doctor looking through his papers.

"Yeah that's me"said Crystal smiling weakly.

"Well it says here that you been feeling alittle weak and just alittle while ago you threw up right?"said the doctor. "Yes"said Crystal

"Ok Crystal, what it sounds like to me is that your pregnant..now just sit here and I'll grab a pregnacy test..so we can just make sure okay"the doctor smiled and walked out of the room.

Within seconds Dr.Scott came back into the room with the test. He placed it under Crystal's mouth and told her to relax, he then held the test under her mouth for a few seconds and then took it out of her.

"Unfortuanately Crystal this test may take about 15 minutes so I hope you can wait" said the doctor.

"Well Actually I was brought here by some friends..so I'm sure they wouldn't mind, seeing that this is an important matter"said Crystal. When the 15 minutes were up the doctor then checked the test.

"Now before I give you the result my dear I will tell you the color for each..blue means your not and then red/pink means you're..would you like to look for youself or would like me to do the honors " he asked. "Why don't you do it..I'm kinda nervous"said Crystal who was shaking alittle bit.

"Alright I will look then"said the doctor. He then checked the results and the test themamator had turned red. The doctor turned to Crystal and said "Congradualtion Ms. Smith, you're pregnant" Crystal couldn't believe she was pregnant. Now it all made sense of why she she threwup and was feeling really weak the night before.

Crystal's eyes began to shine brightly she was happy but then in a way she was alittle sad, she had no idea who was the father of her baby.She then looked up at to Dr. Scott and said "Thank you doctor"said Crystal "Of course anytime, now I should expect to see you in a month just to see how your doing"said the doctor.

When Crystal came out of the room AJ and Courtney were sitting a on some chairs reading some magazines. When they saw Crystal coming to both got up and walked up to Crystal.

"So What did the doctor say" asked Courtney.

"Well..your not gonna believe this but..."said Crystal.

"But...but what Crys..what did the doctor say..was something bad ?, come on please tell me and AJ cuz if it's something else the boys will have to cancel the tour" said Courtney getting alittle anxcious.

"Ok..alright..I'm pregnant" said Crystal waiting for Courtney and AJ to answer her.

" Oh wow Crys..Congradualtions,I know everyone is gonna be so surprised when they hear this"said AJ smiling.

"No AJ...Court...no one can know..please this is something between us only.."said Crystal looking at AJ with sadness.

"Why?"said AJ

"Because it would bring so many problems into my life again and I don't need any stress on this baby"said Crystal looking at her belly.

"Well I'm sure they will figure it out honey"said Courtney rubbing AJ on the back. Before they left Crystal explained the plan to Dr. Scott, he was okay with the idea but he told her to call him and remind him where she was going so when she was in a particular city with the boys she could have a specialist look at her.

When they all left and got into AJ's car Crystal began thinking of all the complications she was going to have with the new baby. When they got back to the hotel everyone was waiting in Crystal's room and hoping that she was okay, although the girls had some idea of what it might be.

When they arrived at Crystal's room everyone began bursting AJ. Courtney, and especially Crystal with questions. Of course now the girls knew what was wrong with Crystal but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

That evening when everyone went to bed Chad and Crystal were talking.

"So what was wrong with you?"asked Chad who was folding up some blankets.

"Well he said it was just a bad case of flu and that I need all the rest I can while I'm on tour the the boys, I'll be able to relax with you while the boys finish their work" said Crystal smiling some. "Yeah it will be great spending time with you someplace else, I'm gonna stay with you tonight you need someone else to watch over you, I believe Courtney and her boyfriend AJ have done alittle too much for you"said Chad. He then climbed into the bed with Crystal and placed his arms around her and fell asleep.

Early the next morining around dawn everyone had already gotten up, they had to head back to Florida for the their tour plan for the Black and Blue Tour. The girls were excited espcially Crystal and Courtney. They had never been on tour with the backstreet boys and it was going to be something that they would never forget.

The night before the gang had all packed their stuff to go back, while Crystal and Courtney went back to Crystal's to pack half of their belongings, even though they figured they would be buying souvenirs all during their trip, everyone checked out the of the hotel before they left for the airplane.The plane was leaving around 12 noon, and everyone was accounted for.

An hour before take off Brian remembered they were missing someone.

"Hey you guys aren't there suppose to be five members in this group and not just four?'". Everyone looked around the room and noticed that Nick wasn't there and he didn't even know about the tour and that their manager had called. Howie grabbed his cell number and called up Nick.

Fortunately Nick was driving in his car and had heard the message from the manager and was on his way to the airport. He had all his stuff packed and would on the plane within 10 minutes. When Nick arrived everyone was cheering, except for Crystal. She began feeling some sort of insecurity when saw Nick on the plane. Then when Nick was accounted for the plane took off. When Nick went to his seat, he then saw that he was a seat behind Crystal and Chad who were asleep. Nick was very happy that Crystal was on the plane this way he could tell her what he felt for her and that he was truly sorry for that night where he walked out of the door.The gang were all in their seats and wouldn't be getting up except for going to the bathroom or having such intimate times when their lovers.When the plane landed in Orlando, Florida everyone grabbed theri bags and walked outside to the gate. Nick was the first one off the plane, as everyone was getting off some girls that were wearing backstreet boys shirts saw them. Their eyes became wide.

"Oh My God! It's the backstreet boys!!!!" that word was heard all over the airport, so many fans heard that and ran over to the gate to see their favorite backstreet boy.The boys began taking pictures and signning autographs for their fans. While they were spending time with their fans .The girls were the second ones to get off.

All the girls noticed Jennifer,Leighanne,and Kristin and took pictures with them. Unfortunately when they saw Courtney and Crystal they gave them some nasty looks. Chad explained that Crystal was with him and that Nick was single. So many girls cheered, but some kept starring at Courtney.Courtney began to sweat some.She then began walking around some of the fans and away from the backstreet boys so she would think that the fans didn't know she was AJ's girlfriend. As she was walking one of the fans noticed she was wearing one of AJ's shirts."Hey you guys look, she's wearing one of AJ's shirt. "That's AJ's girlfriend you guys" said the fan. Some of the fans followed her, Courtney then walked into a nearby bathroom and hid inside a stall. She didn't want the fans to find her.

While she was in the bathroom AJ looked up to see if Courtney had gotten off board when she saw that she wasn't there, he asked Leighanne if she saw her" Yeah of course I saw her,she was walking that way cuz a lot of your fans were giving a mean look and I don't think she wanted to be apart of that" said Leighanne as she pointed into the direction of where the bathroom was."You know AJ she's not use to this, you gotta sit down and talk to her about this..she knows your a celebrity but I don't think some she knows about all these girls finding out where you guys are at and all" said Leighanne signing some more autographs. The guys had to say goodbye to the fans and head off to Jive Records office.

As they were walking AJ asked one of the girls to go into the bathroom and grab Courtney. When Courtney walked out of the bathroom she looked as if she was kinda nervous. Kristin shook her head and gave Courtney a hug.

When they got out AJ was waiting for her outside. He saw how scared she was, he turned to Courtney and asked "Hey baby you alright ?" Courtney was very stiff, she was frightened,she was almost shaking."AJ she's absoultely petrifired...some of those fans looked as if they wanted to kill her I would sit down and talk to her some about this so she will understand, come on we gotta get into the bus and off to the Jive Records and hear the plans about this tour"said Kristin. The three of them walked off t the bus, Courtney's head was on AJ's shoulder. Now that Courtney was scared everyone had to keep on eye on Courtney and Crystal.

Within 10 minutes of riding on the bus, the guys got off the bus and went inside to talk business.While they were inside the girls and Chad stayed on the bus.

Kristin the walked over to Courtney and saw that she was still alittle scared "Hey Court, it's over.."said Kristin calmly.

"No it's not over till AJ and I die or breakup"said Courtney looking at Kristin.

" Kris, I knew there was gonna be something like that..but the way those girls were chasing me was something like what happened to me when I was fourteen"

"What was that?" asked Kristin. "Well my family knew I was scared of certain, especially..."Courtney couldn't finish " epsecially what?" asked Kristin.

The others began to gather around and listen to Courtney's story "especially things with red eyes" Courtney saddly.

"None of the fans had red eyes" said Crystal

"Well still they chased me kinda fast..Crys there's something you don't know..something happened when I was fourteen, and I feel pretty reluctant to be talking about this"said Courtney

"Well maybe if you spoke about this it would make you feel better"said Jennifer.

"Maybe so"said Courtney as she looked at the window some. She then began her story.

"My famly had always been these nasty people,Crys you know what I'm talking about" said Courtney as she nodded her head "and see when they would hear something bad about me..they would take it to drastic measures..like see the red eyes thing in order to stop my fears my parents put me on this show called Scariest Places On Earth, a show where you look for all kinds of paranormal activity, this place we went to was a place called Lucherdio, it was in Italy, and really everything was fine except my family got a a lot scares in that place..then when the show was half over ..I had to do this task on my own"said Courtney she began getting alittle uneasy, but she continued "See I had to film some very deep ass activity that was going on in this tortue chamber..it was really dark and scared the hell out of me..butI had some light with me so I was kinda thankful for that of course...where that activity all started I don't know, all I know is that when I placed one foot is that room something made me scream" Courtney continued telling everyone the story. She then began getting a flashback because of it.


~**FlashBack**~

Courtney began walking slowly up an dark hallway and into a room and looked around some "Oh it's so dark in here...I don't know what to do now" all of a sudden something jumped out on Courtney's camera "AHH!!! AHH ooh,,oh my gosh!!" yelled out Courtney.

Courtney's family heard her voice and her mom tried to call out for her " Courtney, oh my God Courtney!!" "I don't like this like this"said Courtney she began crying some. Courtney began walking toward another room that was very dark and yet small " Ahhhhhh!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!! ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!...OH MY GOD!!!!"

"Court speak to me it's Ashlee". "AHHH!!, oh my gosh...there's little people starring at me with little red eyes...oh my god...."said Courtney she still had tears coming out of her eyes.

" Oh god..Courtney where are you I'm gonna come and get you" said her father

"Dad I'm coming down a long hall way" said Courtney as she was getting out that room and wipping her tears away.

"Alright honey I'm walking through the huge court yard, I'll be there in a minute, call me out so I follow your voice" said her father. Courtney's father then went out of the courtyard.

Dad....Dad.....Dad" said Courtney, she made it loud enough so that he could hear Courtney's voice and find her, when he found her Courtney was coming down the steps and her face looked was if someone has smacked her in the face. Her eyes were alittle red from crying and she was very quite.

"Hey everyone I got Courtney she is with me come meet me back at the main court at the front door" said Courtney's father under the intercom. Courtney followed him,the rest of the group then caught up and they all walked back to the entrance. The host of the show them came out.

"On behalf of my entire family, I think were going to have to stop...my youngest daughter is too scared and it looks like she can't finish her mission, and there it feels like we've disturbed some of the spirits here"said Courtney's father.

"You okay Court?" asked her brother "No she's not okay son" said Courtney's father said.

"Oh my god" said Courtney's mother. Courtney kept her head down in shame. Her family made her feel so bad and on national television. Then some of the spirits began holling and banging on door although the castle/church.Courtney began shirvering and whinning. She was very scared, and then her parents pushed her into the next room and left her, her entire family ran outside and left her all alone.

With 5 minutes the host came and got her out of the castle/house and helped her get back home. Courtney hated her parents after what they did to her, so she decided to move in with one of her best friends..that was Crystal.

All of Courtney's things were mailed to Crystal's house. When Courtney arrived she told Crystal how baldy she was treated at her own house. Crystal was more than happy to help her out and let her stay with her.
