They guys name themselves The Backstreet Boys after the famous Orlando hangout for the teens and released their first, second and third albums respectively. They become really famous blokes on the planet. Michelle never knew about this cos she never seemed interested anyway. All this time they kept up with Sam wherever they went and enquired a whole bunch about Michelle. Michelle gratuates from high school and lands a job in a lounge as a singer/dancer part time while Sam moves to Orlando to look for a job. He settled down there and is already five years since she saw Sam but nine years since Sam saw the guys again but was with them for Brian's operation.

Michelle awoke suddenly. She was hot even though she was in an air-conditioned room which was on full blast. She couldn't sleep, she looked at the digital clock beside her bed. It was 6 a.m...Oh god! There's still 3 hrs away to work time! She got out of bed, and went to the kitchen and decided to make herself an early breakfast. She took her fav mug and dreamily made her coffee. She took a few biscuits and made her way into the hall. she switched on the radio. 2-pac was on with 'Changes'.

She wondered, 'hmmm...he has been dead for so long but he's still quite famous.'

As she sipped her coffee she took a past issue of Smash Hits and started browsing through it. As she got to the middle of the magazine, 2-pac's 'Changes' was coming to an end. Her eyes were droopy, she laid her head down on the table. She just pushed the mag aside and adrift to dreamland. Ring............... she got a shock from her noisy alarm clock.

" Time for work...drat!" but she still had time to call Mary. She lived all the way in Orlando. She was Michelle's best friend who sang with her at the lounge five years ago. She moved when she was 19. Now...they contacted each other through a wacky invention called the phone. It was great. They talked like this every day for 10 minutes and then hung up. Quickly, she headed to her room, got dressed, got her stuff and ran down the stairs, just in time for the next bus to work. Mrs White phone rang......

" Hello mum..." said Sam

" Hi sport. How's life there? "

" Great just great. How's Michelle? "

" I've gotta tell you something Sam..." trailed him mum.

" What? "asked Sam who didn't want to hear what he already knew 7 years ago.

" Michelle's not so good, she fainted at the lounge a few days ago and i brought her to the doctor and he said that her heart was a tad weak. " said Sam's mum sadly.

" Oh my! " trailed Sam as he acted like he didn't know anything.

" Well ....i miss her so much can you ask her to come here for about a month or so? " asked Sam trying not to sound hurt than he already was.

" Yeah okay Sam, the change will be good for her. "

" I have to go mum. I'll call ya some other time. Bye! "

" Yeah okay darling bye! " said Mrs White.

Sam put down the phone. He couldn't hold back his tears. He cried. He remembered Michelle had some heart problems since she was 17 but didn't expect things to happen so soon. He never told his mother. She had just found out. He remembered Brian's heart condition too. After the operation in 1998 he was all okay but for Michelle it was too early to tell. He wiped his tears away as the phone rang again...he picked it up.

" Hello? " he said kinda sounding hoarse.

" Hello Sam? " asked Howie.

" Hey guys where are you all now? "

" We are in Germany for our show. Its crazy here man! I can hardly hear you!" shouted Howie.

" You guys appeared in Tiger Beat man, you guys looked so good...you didn't have to mention me man!" said Sam.

" Oh but we wanted to, we said we love our childhood friend he is sort of the invisible sixth backstreet boy. They asked us to mention your name but we didn't cos we knew you didn't like it. "

" Yeah i don't....boy it's noisy there huh, so when will you guys come to be back? "

" Maybe tomorrow or the day after. We have a show there too. Sam i'll call ya back. We have to start the show....bye bro' ! If there's anything please leave a message okay i think we will be late. here's the number." shouted Howie.

" Okay got it.....see ya!" Sam said and he put down the receiver.

The day's work went great for Michelle. A suprise awaited her at home....

" Sam has asked you to come stay at his house, how about it? " she asked putting the cookie tray down.

" Yeah that's great! " exclaimed Michelle. She had her head in the clouds. Great! She could not wait to see Mary! Michelle loved her too much!

She missed Sam. This was the only way she could see him again.This was gonna be great...thought Michelle. She quickly reached for the cordless phone and called Mary.

" Hello Mary? "

" Helloooooo! "

" Hiya doll, i've got so much to tell you but first.........I'M COMING THERE !!! " Michelle heard the phone drop and heard Mary squeal in excitement.

" Oh Michelle you MUST stay at my place. "

" Ummm.....that won't be possible Mary. I have Sam there remember? "

" Oh yeah i forgot. Aww man! " Mary sounded pissed.

" Aye put a sock in it Mary, i'll be over your place most of the time, you know that! "

" Yeah i guess..... "

" Mary i gotta go pack, see ya lovely. "

" Ok girl. Sleep tight tonite. Are you okay? I mean did you eat properly?"

" Yeah yeah......see ya! " Michelle put the phone back and stared at her mother.

" Sam.........what did he say? Did he ask about me? "Michelle's mom touched her head.

" Yes dear...he always asks about you everytime he wrote a letter to me. That's why you didn't know."

" Oh i see i see..........i'm gonna go pack ma! Good night."

" Nite nite sweetie! " she kissed Michelle on the forehead and looked at the clock on her kitchen wall. It was 10 pm. She walked over to the kichen cupboard which was above the refrigerator and took out a few medicine bottles.

" She'll be needing these. " she said as she packed them into her backpack. She sighed and went up to her room for the night.

Michelle left for Orlando the very next day. Her mum followed her to the airport.

" Have you got everything? "said Michelle's mum as she scrutinized her packback.

" Yeah mom..." Michelle closed back her backpack.

" Wait here while i check in your luggage for you....okay sweetie? " she squeezed Michelle's shoulder who nodded in agreement.

Michelle looked around. She had her mom's cell phone in her hand. She started meddling with the phone, when it rang. She looked at the phone. She answered it.

" Uh hello? " she asked not sure who was at the other end.

" Michelle? Is that you? "called out a rather familier voice.

" SAM!!! " She screamed over the cell phone.

" Yeah kiddo its me. So what time is your flight? "

" Ummm....." she looked at the TV which hung over her. Quickly scanning for her flight she replied. " 9 am.......so that means i'll be there 3 hours from now. " she looked around. The airport was buzzin' with people.

" Ummm okay Michelle see ya okay! Have a safe flight here. Eat the food onboard the plane please! "

" Okay okay bye...." she pressed 'end' on the cell phone. Flight 212 to Orlando now boarding said a sweet female voice over the speakers. Michelle's mum rushed over to her and embraced her. Taking back her cell phone she said,

" Take care......." she kissed Michelle and sent her to the checkpoint.

The plane ride seemed very long to Michelle but soon it came to an end. She quickly took a muffin from the tray of food she had been given earlier and munched on it on the way out. Her backpack was heavy with all her medications. She groaned while holding on tightly to the strap of her bag which was cutting her shoulder. She wondered if Mary came or not but was soon distracted by a familiar face. Sam was right there waiting. She flung herself at him and hugged him for 20secs flat. He embraced his 24 year old sister with all his might. Gently he released his sister....

" Wow you've grown so much and so pretty too! My friends would love to see you." he said as he looked into her hazel brown eyes.

" Your friends? Who Sam? "

" Uh no one in particular..."

" Come on! " said Sam as he dragged her towards the baggage claim. Michelle took her bags from the luggage claim. Sam carried two others and they walked to the parking lot and got into his car. It was a long ride to his house from the airport. Orlando looked so lovely. Michelle was tired from the plane ride...very tired that she almost dozed off in his car. They pulled up in front of his house. It was BIG and very beautiful. They entered the house. She plopped down on the sofa staring at the ceiling fan. The cool air tickled her face. She let out a sigh of relief.

" Michelle go freshen up and come down for dinner. okay!" Sam was still a single man about 26 years old. Tall dark and hansome with an armani haircut. Michelle did as instructed and came down for dinner.

" Well Michelle, i'll help you get a job and i'll give you the keys to this house. I'm gonna go to the Bahamas for a few weeks, so take care of the house okay! I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow......" he said sipping his cola.

" Really? So fast? But i just got here...........oh while you're at it get my friend Mary a job too..please! "she looked at Sam.

" Okay...........i have alot of work to do. I got a call from my manager. Sorry Michelle.......so you fine? "

" Yeah........"she answered twirling her finger into her cup of water.

" You haven't changed at all Michelle! " he said laughing.

They talked and laughed.

" Okay.......you have an early night, i have to make a few phone calls. Goodnight..." he kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Ok nite nite! " said Michelle as she went up the flight of steps and settled into her room.

Making sure that his sister was asleep he picked up the phone and dailed a number.

" Hello is Fatima there? "

" Yeah its me Sam...wassup? "

" I need a favour. By the way you said my bro's needed extra dancers right?

" Yeah have you got any in mind? "

" I'll send two girls over tomorrow. My sister and her friend. "

" Okay sounds great. Okay bye then Sam...i'm sorta busy with another band. "

" Okay thankx.......bye Fatima..." he put down the phone and quickly dialed another number.

Sam put down the phone and turned in for the night.
