Chapter 47: To Me You're Everything
"Well, do you have any info on your girlfriend? I know it's
private but you gotta help me out, ever since you split with
Leighanne, girls have been writing the station to know about your
new girlfriend. Don't even ask how I know about Leighanne.. it's
the fans I tell you, they've driven me mad!" Carson said and
all of the girls went crazy.
"But before that, we have to take a commercial break.. any questions for the Backstreet Boys call: 1 888 311 4343, plus 2 live performances, your calls, e-mails, and questions coming up on Backstreet Boys Live.." Carson said and they went to a break.
Brian got up and casually made
a detour to the station manager.. no one was watching cause they
were all still
looking at the four remaining guys.
"Ashley? what do you think?" Brian asked holding my hand.
"Well, If you're okay with it, then I am but not too much information.." I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I gotta jet before fans know you're here.." Brian said looking my in the eyes.
"Okay, I love you," I said giving him one short but sweet kiss.
"Love ya," he said kissing my forehead.
"Brian,10 seconds" the station manager said.
"Okay, bye sweetie..." he said.
"Bye," I said giving him a hug.
"Brian..." the station manager warned.
"OK, I'm leaving.." Brian said.

"JC, who were you singing to?" Justin said as he emerged from the shower.
"Ashley," JC said casually. "So, what's on?" JC said immediately changing the subject.
"How did you get her number?" Justin asked.
"I called Erica.." he said. "What do you think we should watch?"
"No, don't try and change the subject..why didn't you tell me?" Justin asked.
"Because, she said she didn't want to speak to you," JC answered honestly.
"What?" Justin said in disbelief.
"Come on man, you can't be that oblivious. First off: you cheated on her with Melissa, knowing full well she would stay faithful to her, you broke it off with her, about like a second she came to California..should I continue?" JC asked.
"I know I know, I have
acted like a real jerk, but I still love her, I never got over
her, but I only dumped her because I knew she would like someone
else..I didn't have any real interest in Melissa, but in a way..I
thought of her as a replacement...she
looked so much like Ashley.. and they had the same smile.. I
thought if I couldn't have the real thing..I could settle for
second best," Justin admitted unhappily.
"Justin man, you know that's crummy," JC said.
"Yeah, well she had Nick.. and everything.. I didn't think she would want me! So I made it easier for her, and left the picture," he said. "And now that I've come to my senses... It may be too late! My life has a way of making the worst happen to me," Justin complained.
"Yeah well, you haven't been exactly truthful with her.. why didn't you tell her this?" JC asked.
"Afraid I guess," Justin replied.
"Afraid of what?" JC asked him puzzled.
"That she would already say she's found someone else.. and wanted out of the relationship." Justin said sighing.
"So you beat her to the punch?" JC asked.
"Yeah I did, and now it sucks.." Justin said. "So what's on bro?" Justin asked grabbing the remote control.
"Okay, welcome the Backstreet Boys.... we're here for a full 2 hours.. and it's time to ask Brok the question millions of fans want to know.. who is she? Who is this new girlfriend?" Carson asked.
"Well, she just turned 18 today..and her name is Ashley..and I'm here with her celebrating her birthday.. and we have been dating for about a few months..actually our relationship sprouted from a friendship we had established.." Brian said smiling.
"Aww," the crowd said in unison. I smiled.
"Okay I'm gonna read
questions from the fans," Carson said. "This is from
Jen in California... She says: Hey Nick, I
have heard from several fan websites that you're dating a girl
named Julie.. is that true?" Carson finished.
"Man, the fans know everything. Yeah her name is Julie. She's 19, really sweet and down to earth, we have been dating for about the same time, Bri and Ashley have," Nick said smiling.
"Okay, well here is a question from Karen in North Carolina. She says: Hey you guys, Brian you are so fine and I just wanted to know, what do you think of JC from Nsync. Cause all of the fans agree you both are the soul singers of Nsync and BSB.." Carson finished.
"Well, I haven't exactly
heard JC sing, but I hear he's good.. I don't exactly know what
to think.." Brian said laughing.
"How did those girls figure out about you Julie?" I
asked her incredulously.
"I have no idea.."
Julie says puzzled.
The 2 hour special went well. The guys had a little BSB and music
trivia that was fun. I had a great time watching them and
especially looking at Brian. Plus..Jules, Claud, Amanda and Kat
and I loved to laugh at the numerous times, Nicky decided he
would ring on the buzzer just to hear the way it rang.. he was
just so funny that day.
The guys thanked everyone and since they had a lot of autographs to sign the girls and I decided to head out early and wait in the limo. We had a station producer tell them. Kat and Claud in one car, Julie in one by herself waiting for Nick and of course Amanda and I in the other.
"Hey girl, so what is with JC calling?" she asked me.
"Before I have to say this story over 4 times..." I put my voice over the intercom of Julie, Claud, Amanda, and Kat.
"You guys hear me?" I said.
"Yeah," they replied.
"Okay, well technically, Me and Justin Timberlake of Nsync dated for quite awhile about 8 months or so.. and in the process of me getting out hear to LA, I found out JC liked me.. but I had Justin at the time, so we both knew itwouldn't work. So he and I parted ways.. and Justin found Melissa.. so I found Brian...that's the gist.." I told them.
"So, you liked JC?" Julie asked.
"Me and JC? Well I had a slight attraction to him," I admitted to him.
"What about Justin?" Claudia asked.
"He and I haven't exactly settled our problems.. I just don't want to speak to him right now.." I said, "OK guys... Brian is coming.. talk about it more at the hotel.." I said clicking off.
"Hey guys," Brian and
AJ said climbing into the limo.
"Now, Ashley.. I told you I had a surprise for you...AJ put
this bandanna over her eyes..You can't peek okay.." Brian
said. AJ covered my face until I saw complete darkness.
"But then I can't see you," I whined.
"You will soon enough," Brian said.
