Chapter 9
Jason's View
"Man Chris I sure miss her," I said walking next to my friend Chris. He moved here a couple of months ago and we became really good friends.
"Why don't you call her?"
"I don't know her number," I mumbled.
"Well, that doesn't help you at all there buddy!" he laughed patting my shoulder.
"I know! Why did she have to win the contest? Our lives were so perfect before she went to New York for that damn contest," I said.
"Don't worry about it man. She'll be back soon...it's not like you won't see her again," he said.
"That's the thing, I'm worried," I sighed running my hand through my hair and sitting down on a park bench.
"What are you worried about?" he asked curiously sitting next to me.
"You know how much she likes the Backstreet Boys and that guy Brian? I think that's his name," I said.
"What about him?" he asked.
"I think that she'll start loving him because she'll be spending time with him a lot more than she will be spending time with me and I don't want that to happen," I said quietly.
"I wouldn't worry about it Jason. She's with you and my little sister says he's with this other chick. Danielle would never cheat on you. She's too in love with you to do that and you know it."
"Yeah I know but...I'm still worried about it. How can I not be? I mean she's going to be hanging with a guy she thinks is fine and funny for the next 4 months and her being attractive is surly to get his attention."
"Jason listen to me...Danielle loves you and only you and I know for a fact that she won't fall for Brian. You guys do have that promise ring," he said pointing to the ring on my finger. "From what I've seen you two keep your promises to each other."
"You're right, we do but you never know what could happen," I sighed.
"Lets go see a movie...I think it'll get your mind off her," he said patting me on the back.
"I don't think it will but OK lets go," I said getting up off the bench and heading over to my car. I miss her so much and I just have that feeling that something might go wrong in these next 4 months to us. If something is going to happen...I hope that that something won't change our lives forever.
Brian's View
"Dude! Danielle! We have to go and you're not even done getting ready?" I asked watching Danielle putting her hair up in a pony tail from the bed.
She turned to me and said, "I'm almost done!"
"Sure you are," I rolled my eyes.
"I am! See look I'm done!" she said posing in front of me.
"It took you long enough! Now we're late," I said looking at the clock.
"Kev will give me a break. I mean it is my first day on the tour," she smiled.
"He'll give you a break but he won't give ME a break. He's gonna bite my head off. You know that's totally going to hurt," I said getting up off the bed. Danielle laughed and picked up her purse.
"Lets go little man," she said walking over to the door.
"That name is going to annoy me so much," I shook my head following her out the door.
"It's not a bad thing! I like the name...it's cute!" she said poking me in the stomach.
"I don't want a cute name," I whined. "I want a masculine name."
"Brian is a cute name," she teased pressing the down button on the elevator.
"Oh great! Now I have to change my real name!"
"Ha ha...very funny," she said.
"Just say my name isn't cute and I won't change it," I said walking onto the elevator.
"But you're name is cute!"
"Ah! That is not what I want to hear Danielle," I said lightly pushing her.
"Oh now you're turning to violence! I can sue you Littrell!" she said pointing her finger at me.
"Oh the finger! I better watch out now!" I teased. She just stuck her tongue out at me and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Aw...my little sis isn't mad is she?" I asked playfully. She tried to keep a straight face but it didn't work. She broke out into a smile.
"Ah look at that smile!" I teased. She pushed me playfully and stepped off the elevator when the doors opened. I laughed and followed her over to the other guys.
"Hey!" we greeted them.
"Hey!" they all said back at us.
"When is Sophia gonna get here?" I asked AJ.
"She's gonna be at the concert," he said happily. "I can't wait to see my baby."
"I'm sure you can't," Nick said rolling his eyes. AJ hit him in the arm and said, "Shut the hell up! At least I have a woman!"
"OK now don't fight!" Howie said.
"I'm not going to fight with him...he's not worth it," AJ said.
"Thank you! Now will you people listen up?" Kevin said annoyed.
"Yes father!" All the guys said in unison. Colleen, Darlene and I all started to laugh.
"For crying out loud! I'm not your father so stop saying that!" Kevin said irritated. "Now tonight is our first concert and we need to do the best job we can. We haven't performed in a while so I'm a little worried that...well we'll suck."
"I don't think you guys will suck...there's just no possible way that you guys can suck," Danielle said. I smiled at her and flung my arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah! We're great! We won't suck! If Danielle says we won't suck then we won't suck!" I said happily. Everyone just laughed.
"OK troops let's go!" Kevin said. We all walked out to the van and hopped in. This is going to be a great concert! I'm gonna have a blast!
