Chapter 12
Brian's View
It's been a week since all of us have gone shopping. I've been spending time with Tiffany more then anybody else. I've fallen in love with her. I haven't told her but I will soon. I hope Nick is OK with this. First I so called took the woman he loves and then I'm not spending time with him. I don't think he's mad. I mean we spend enough time with each other on tour. I was going to spend another day with Tiffany, the girl that I love more then anything in the world but Kevin called and said that we had a meeting with our management.
I walked in the room where we were supposed to meet. In front of me was a round table. Nick was to my right and to the right of him was AJ, then Kevin, and this dude I have never seen before, and then Howie. I went to go sit next to Howie.
"Now that we are all here I would like to discuss something with all of you," the man said.
"Wait! Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm an assistant for Jive records," he replied.
"Then why are you talking to us? Aren't our managers suppose to talk to us?" I asked.
"Yes but they are busy and this is important. Now what I'm about to tell you might make you angry but I have nothing to do with this. The biggest tour of your life is coming up."
"What!? We were told that we had 6 months off and we just got off a month and a half ago!" AJ yelled.
"I know that but you will be going on tour again in four weeks."
"Four weeks! No I'm not doing this!" I yelled.
"Listen this is in your contracts and you are going no matter what."
"How long is it?" Kevin asked calmly but I could tell he was mad.
"One year"
"ONE YEAR! I'M NOT GOING ON TOUR FOR ONE YEAR! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO SEE TIFFANY!" I screamed.
"It's not all tour. You will be making a new record or two and you will be doing many interviews and appearances adn a lot of music videos."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" Howie yelled. I was taken aback because Howie rarely yelled.
"LOOK WE JUST GOT OFF OUR WORLD TOUR! WE'RE TIRED AND WE JUST WANT TO RELAX FOR A BIT!" Nick finally said something.
"I'm sorry but there is nothing you or I can do."
"If Tiffany's coming then I'll be fine," I said realizing that Tiffany can go on tour with us.
"I'm sorry but no one accept the crew may go on this tour."
"THAT'S IT! I'M NOT GOING AND THAT'S FINAL! IF THE WOMAN I LOVE CAN'T GO ON TOUR WITH US THEN I'M NOT GOING!" I screamed.
"You're coming on this tour! You have no say in this! You better come or you're not a Backstreet Boy anymore!"
"FUCK YOU!" I screamed as I got up and left the room.
Tiffany's View
I was reading a book on the couch when Nick got home. Everyone else went to go get lunch. I decided to stay behind. Nick slammed the door and stomped up the stairs. He slammed his door so hard the cabinet rattled. I put my book down and got up curious about Nick's attitude. I got to his room and knocked.
"What!" I heard a harsh tone say. I opened the door and stepped in. Nick was sitting at the end of his bed with his head in his hands.
"Nicky? What's wrong?" I asked sitting next to him and putting my hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know if I should tell you."
"Why not?"
"Brian probably wants to tell you. I don't want to make you upset."
"OK, but if you need anything I'll be downstairs reading," I said getting up and leaving the room.

I decided to tell Tiffany as soon as possible so I drove over to Nick's. I got out of the car and walked through the front door. I went to the living room to find Tiffany engrossed in a book. She looked so beautiful. She was wearing a spaghetti strap blue dress with light blue flowers all over it and her hair was in a messy bun.
"Hey baby!"
"Oh hey baby duck!" she exclaimed putting her book down.
"I missed you!" I said sitting next to her and giving her the biggest hug that I've ever given her.
"We just saw each other yesterday!"
"I know but I still missed you!" I said pulling away and giving her a huge kiss right smack on the lips.
"What's wrong?" she asked after my kiss.
"Nothing! Why do you think something is wrong?" I said trying to avoid the subject for just a couple more minutes. I really didn't want to see her cry.
"There is something! Nick came home about a half an hour ago really pissed off and he told me that you would tell me."
"OK, I can't hide it from you. You know that meeting we went to?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well the guy said that we… we.."
"Just say it!"
"We have to go on tour in four weeks."
"That's great!"
"HUH?"
"I finally get to go on tour with you guys! I can't wait!"
"No Tiffany! You got it all wrong! You can't come."
"Why?"
"The dude said that no one except the crew can come along."
"Well… that's OK! I can always go on another one right? And the tour will only be like 2-3 months."
"That's the other thing. We'll be on tour for a year." I said.
I examined her face for any reaction. I saw tears forming in her eyes.
"BUT THAT MEANS I CAN'T SEE YOU FOR ONE ENTIRE YEAR! THAT'S NOT FAIR! WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO FOT ONE YEAR WITHOUT ANYONE TO TALK TO!" she screamed standing up. She was sobbing uncontrollably.
"It's going to be OK," I said standing up and wrapping her in a hug.
"IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OK! YOU'RE GOING TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE AND YOU'LL BREAK UP WITH ME! YOU'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT ME RIGHT WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE BETTER THEN ME!"
"No I could never do that! Tiffany you're the only girl for me and I will never hurt you! Nothing will happen on this tour! I will call you and write you and email you every single day! Tiffany you are the first girl that I ever truly loved. I love you Tiffany."
"You what?" she said calming down and wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I said I love you," I said taking my thumb and wiping the tears away.
"I love you too."
"Everything will be all right. I was even thinking. You know how you have been looking for a place?"
"Yeah"
"Well AJ and I want you to come live with us."
"Really!?"
"Yes really! I want you near me every single second until we leave. So will you move in with us?"
"Of course!"
"Great!"
"So when will I move in?"
"How about tomorrow but for right now I just want to spend every single minute with you."
"What do you want to do?"
"Umm let me think. Ok I thought. I want to do this," I said kissing her on the lips gently.
'Ring Ring'
"Hold that thought," she said pulling away and reaching for the phone.
"Hello?"
"What do you want?"
"I have a boyfriend Josh."
"No I don't want to break up with him!"
"Well I don't love you!"
"I do not!"
"How did you get this number!"
"Yeah right! You're probably stalking me!"
"Look just leave me alone!" she yelled slamming the phone down.
"Baby who was that?"
"Josh"
"Your ex?"
"Yeah"
"Is there anything that I can do?"
"Yeah don't leave me."
"I will never leave you."
"No I mean on the tour."
"I don't want to go but I have to. You'll be alright and if something happens I'll be there for you in a second and if Josh bothers you anymore I'll go kick his ass."
She giggled a little bit and hugged me; "I love you."
"I love you too."
"Hey guys," Nick said coming into the room.
"Oh hey!"
"What are you guys doing?" he asked.
"Just talking," Tiffany replied.
"What do you guys want to do?" he questioned.
"How about we go swimming? Never mind you guys are tired of swimming," Tiffany said.
"No I think swimming is a very good idea!" I said wanting to see Tiffany in her bikini.
"Yeah I guess we can go swimming figuring we won't have time for a whole year," Nick replied.
"Great I'll go get ready!" Tiffany said jumping up and running up the stairs.
"Hey Nick can I borrow a pair of trunks?"
"Yeah I just bought a new pair. You can wear those."
I got up and headed up the stairs to get dressed. I really couldn't wait to see Tiffany in her bathing suit.
