"Michelle, we need you... everything's out of control here" Brian and Howie yelled into the phone. I smiled for the first time in what seemed ages.
"Come on guys... you can survive without me for another one more day" I answered.
"Yeah but the question in can you survive without us for another day" Brian stated a matter of factly.
"You know I can't, but I need this time off, I've been on tour with you guys and the crew for god knows how long and now is a better time than ever."
The truth was I couldn't go back and see Nick, I wasn't ready. I even managed to get a few days off work which was a miracle cause the guys were currently on tour. I hadn't seen Nick for more than three days and even attempting to get over him wasn't working all that much. It would take awhile and I knew that. The fact that I was part of the Backstreet crew was gonna make it much harder, not just for me... but for Nick as well.
"Michelle, are you there? " Brian asked interrupting my thoughts, snapping me back into reality.
"Yeah, I am... hey I... er... I gotta go, things to do" I said quickly.
"Um... yeah ok. I guess I better get goin too, well see ya" he answered not sounding very convinced that I had anything worthwhile to do with my time.
"Bye" I muttered and hung up the phone. Tossing the phone on the bed I made my way to the window seat overlooking a very busy street and some pretty old looking buildings. I picked up my walkman on the way, sat down on the ledge and hugged my knees after turning on the music.
*A while Later*
A sudden pounding rang through my ears. I sleepily opened my eyes and glanced at my watch, realizing I had fallen asleep for over four hours"
"Shit" I muttered and got up making my way towards the door.
"Um... Brian... guys hey" I said surprised as I rubbed my eyes. I moved aside, inviting the guys into my hotel room. As I began shutting the door behind Kevin thinking no one else was comin, AJ stuck his hand out from the outside stopping me.
"Hey, nice way to treat the guy with da pizza " he snickered.
"Aw sorry AJ" I apologized and let him in. Making sure I wasn't about to lock anyone else out I stuck my head out into the corridor to find Nick hesitantly standing outside.
"Um... hey... um... come on in" I offered him in surprise. He looked up at me and gave me a small smile.
"Um... thanks" he muttered and came in, joining the rest of the guys. I pulled my hair back away from my face and sat down on the bed beside Kevin.
"So what are you guys doing here... aren't you supposed to be rehearsing" I asked.
"Well, we knew you missed us sooooo much we had to fit you in our schedule" Howie answered.
"Aw how sweet..."I grinned and grabbed a slice of pizza from the box. It was not long before the room was full in conversation, the guys updating me on all that happened and all the supposedly hilarious things I missed out on. I absent mindedly nodded and smiled at everything being said. No one seemed to notice that my main attention was on Nick as I watched him quietly chew down his pizza and smile from time to time at something stupid one of the guys might have said. I turned my attention back to Howie who was talking about cheddar cheese and bra's. He was suddenly interrupted by the phone. I leant back and answered it.
"AJ, it's your woman" I called. AJ grabbed it off me and began talking to Tiffany. I sighed and walked over to the window seat and sat down.
"Brian, Kevin... our women want us... probably some kinda girl dilemma" AJ stated, picking up his jacket.
"Sorry Mich. Looks like we gotta go" he then apologized, everyone got up and made their way to the door. I got up and followed them, to my surprise Nick remained inside the room.
