Over the course of the next month, I managed to convince a judge that it was Mike who was stalking me and I got my protection order. The police were very helpful and the press kept quiet about it. On the outside, it appeared that I had put my life back together, but on the inside, I was miserable. I saw Brian every now and again, mainly at church. Jen and I would always go together and Pastor Campbell always asked me how I was doing. He knew what had gone on, and was always there to lend a kind word and sympathetic ear if I needed one.

At the end of September, Kevin called the house. Jen answered and they talked for a bit. When she hung up, she turned to me and said, "We’re going to Los Angeles."

"What do you mean we're going to LA?" I asked from my spot on her couch. "When?"

"We're going to LA this weekend," she told me.

"Really? Why?"

"That was Kevin. He said they're filming the video to their new single, 'Shape of my Heart' this weekend and they want us there."

I put my head in my hands. "I'm not going," I told her.

"Because you think you'll have to be with Brian?" she asked me.

"Gee you know how to read my mind, don't 'cha?" I said sarcastically.

"Don't worry Becca, I'll protect you from that big bad B- Rok."

I laughed. "Why do I have to go?"

"Because Kevin said, and plus he's only going for Sunday. He's having his knee surgery on Tuesday. Oh yeah, and he said Howie had a surprise for me," she said sitting down beside me on the sofa.

"You don't sound too excited about that," I commented.

"You didn't see his last surprise."

I curled my legs up under me. "So what was it?"

"You don't wanna know, and I don't wanna remember," she told me.

I rolled my eyes. "That bad?"

"Yeah. He took me to a Santana concert and he got to sing with him."

"But that's not bad," I started to say, but Jen cut me off.

"He sang 'Smooth,' Becca. The evil song. You're not supposed to do that!"

"Aww, poor baby," I crooned.

"I know, it was awful!"

"So, I guess I'm going to LA, huh?" I asked.

"Yes! I'm not putting up with one of Howie's surprises alone! Besides someone needs to protect him from me." I sighed, giving in.
