Chapter 20
~*~AJ's House, 10:00 pm~*~
"You're What??!!" He asked increduously, staring at
Sam.
"Well, I'm leaving. You didn't think that this was gonna be a serious relationship....did you?" She said, starring at him, like he had 3 heads.
He stared at her, his brown eyes turning red with rage. "I can't beleive you! I really like you, and your leaving....just like that?"
She rolled her eyes. "Grow up AJ, this stuff happens all the time. Maybe we'll see each other again. I'll be home at thanksgiving. I'll give you a call okay?"
AJ shook his head. "We'll be on tour."
She bit her lip. "I'm sorry...we'll keep in touch, don't worry." then she began to walk to the door.
On her way out she stopped, and spun around. "Hey, AJ? Does Stacey know that Nick is leaving to go on tour in 2 weeks?"
AJ turned pale. "I don't know, but she'll take it really bad. I'll call nicky right now. Good bye Sammy, You're a great girl. have fun in Europe!"
She kissed him on the cheek and
left.
~*~In Nick's car~*~
"So, what are you planning on doing now? Going to college or
Unniversity?" Nick asked, as they drove back to her house.
She nodded. "I guess. I really haven't thought about it. How about you. What do the Backstreet Boys do next?"
Nick squirmed on the seat. "Well........before I answer that.....this is hard.....to uh say....do you have any....feelingsforme?" he blurted, turning red.
Shocked, she turned her head towards him. Then, slowly she began to speak. "Well, at first I was terrified at the thought of another relationship, but well, yeah Nicky, I geuss I do have feelings for you"
Wide-eyed, Nick looked at her. "You do? Here I was expecting to be slapped or screamed at, and you tell me yes?! This makes it even harder to tell you this then!" Nick whined, as he pushed back some of his hair.
Biting her lip, she turned to him. "What do you have to tell me?" she asked softly.
Cursing silently, he turned into her driveway. "Well...lets go inside, and I'll tell you."
Nodding, she grabbed her bag, and got out of the car. Unlocking the front door, a burst of cold air hit them both.
"I'll go turn the air down, you go sit on the couch" she yelled as she made her way to the kitchen.
Your a bastard, Carter, he thought, as he plopped down on the couch. How can you do this to such a nice girl?
Stacey walked back into the room with 2 cokes. "Okay!" she said smiling brightly. "What is it that you have to tell me?"
Grabbing her hand and taking a
deep breath, he began. "Stacey...I'm leaving too"
