The group just arrived in Cleveland, Ohio and AJ was the last one left on the tour bus. He was just getting a few of his things together for that night's concert. He was putting his goggles into his bookbag when he heard a knock on the tour bus door. He looked out of the window first because he knew that fans were everywhere. But no one was there. He slowly opened the door and peered out. No one was there but there was a rose laying on the ground with a card attached to it. AJ noticed his name was on the front of the card. He picked it up and walked back into the bus and shut and locked the door. He opened it and read the card:
My Dearest AJ,
���I bet you never thought you would hear from me again. Well surprise! I'm back. You have to remember me don't you? I mean, we were like best friends since kindergarten. You might not recognize me. But I'm still totally in love with you.
And it was signed: Your Secret Admirer.
"What the hell is up with this?" AJ asked himself.
"You know things are bad when you start talking to yourself Bone." Nick said from behind him.
AJ jumped. He didn't hear Nick unlock the door and come in. "Man, you scared me."
Nick gave a soft laugh. "Sorry, didn't mean to."
AJ stuffed the card in his pocket and left the rose on the table. He followed Nick into the stadium where they would give that nights concert. On their way in a group of fans stopped them and they gladly posed for pictures and signed some autographs.
"Where's that hunk of B-ROK?!?!" One very excited girl yelled.
Nick and AJ laughed and shook their heads and headed into the stadium. The bodyguards held the fans back.
When they got inside, Brian, Kevin, and Howie were practicing the chair routine for that night's concert just to know they were ready. AJ went up on stage and started to move along with them. Nick saw Sarah standing with Abby. He walked over to them.
"Can I see you for a minute?" Nick asked Sarah.
"Sure." Sarah handed Abby the bottle of water she was holding. They went into a small sound room where the music wasn't so loud from the guys practicing.
"What is it?" Sarah asked. She took out a stick of cherry flavored chap stick and put it smoothly on her lips.
Nick smiled. "Can I have some of that?"
"Sure." Sarah handed him the chap stick but he didn't take it. He brought his lips down to her's in a passionate kiss that went on for at least two minutes.
They seperated.
Nick put his arms around her waste and leaned his mouth down to her ear and whispered, "I've never felt this strongly for anyone in my whole life. From the moment I saw you I knew you were the one."
Sarah brought her eyes to meet his. "The one?"
"Sarah, I think I'm falling in love with you....madly in love with you." Nick admitted for the first time out loud where she could hear it.
Tears sprung to her eyes and she touched his lips with her fingertips.
He noticed she looked like she was going to cry. "I'm..."
Sarah shook her head. "SSSHHH...I just want to remember this moment."
Nick hugged her close to him and for the first time in a long time Sarah knew this was right and that she needed to go on with her life. She had to forget about her past and look to the future. Her future with Nicholas Gene Carter.
A FEW HOURS LATER....
AJ ran throw the hallway backstage looking for his water bottle. He didn't have his shoes on yet and was skidding across the freshly waxed floor. He took a corner fast and went flying into a rack of clothes. The rack came tumbling down and clothes went everywhere. AJ picked up his head that was covered with a Tommy Hilfiger jacket. He heard someone laughing. He didn't even have to look up, he knew who it was.
"Bone, that was hilarious." Brian laughed hysterically. "You should've saw your face when you went flying into that clothes rack. At least that was something I wasn't behind. You did that one totally all alone."
AJ picked himself back up and went on searching for his water bottle. He found it and there was yet another note attached to it. All it said was "I Love You Alexander James McLean".
"This is getting weird." AJ thought to himself.
"AJ LET'S GO!" The guys yelled to him.
The guys ran out on to stage after their cue and went right into their dance routine. The thousands of fans went wild as the guys began to sing, "Hey Mr. DJ".
Abby and Sarah watched from the side of the stage as their men danced and preformed. Sarah smiled out at Nick the whole while. The two girls laughed as Brian made his goofy faces at the crowd and AJ began to do this really crazy dance move in the middle of the stage which made the teenage girls scream even louder, if that was possible. Soon the concert was over and the guys went off stage. Sarah and Abby passed out new water and towels for the guys to wipe off with.
"Thanks." They all replied breathlessly. The guys went and showered quick to get ready for the fans who had backstage passes. A group of girls and photographers were ushered into the guys dressing room. Abby and Sarah stayed off to the side to let the other girls have a moment of glory with their men. There was a woman about their age who sat next to AJ and smiled and said something to him. Suddenly AJ's eyes opened wide and his body stiffened.
Sarah leaned over to Abby and whispered, "What's wrong with AJ?"
Abby watched AJ closely. "I don't know, he looks scared or something."
Suddenly the girl next to AJ stood up and pointed a gun at all the guys.
"Don't move or I swear to God I'll kill you all!" She screamed with the gun posed right between AJ's eyes.
