"Bria!"
Rissa yelled as Bria stepped thru the arrival gate at the airport. Bria
waved excitedly. Rachel, Michelle, Meg, Mel and Rissa all ran over.
"Girl u made it to San Diego, finally, joining us for a while!"
Meg said.
"Oh my gosh, I had to switch planes like 100 times to get all the way
out here from Pittsburgh. It took forever and I'm totally jet
lagged." Bria smiled. "But hey good to see you!" she added.
Bria was a good friend from back home and the girls had been bugging her
to come with them on tour for a while.
The girls helped her with her luggage and headed to the hotel.
"I'm interested in meeting all these pop stars." Bria smiled as
they walked into the hotel lobby.
"I bet you are." Mel said.
"Lots of cute guys?" Bria asked.
Michelle nodded. "Like u wouldn't believe."
"Speaking of cute guys, I believe Mel hooked up." Rachel said.
"What? Really? Who?" Bria asked interested.
"Rae, be quiet." Mel said.
Rachel lowered her voice. "This Shane guy from Westlife."
"Oooooo...Shane." Bria laughed.
Mel blushed. "Okay let's not talk about it anymore, out here in the
middle of the lobby!"
Just then, someone called Meg's name. She turned around. It was Bryan.
"Hey Bry." She said hugging him.
"I thought I'd catch up with you while I had the chance, b/c I never
can seem to keep track of you."
Meg smiled. "Oh Bry, this is our friend Bria." she said
introducing them.
"And Bria this is Bryan from Westlife."
Bria nodded and shook his hand. "Nice too meet you."
"Yea, u too." he said.
"Okay let's get ur stuff up to Rissa's room. Your sharing with
her." Mel said.
"Oh my god." Bryan said.
Meg turned around. "What?" she asked giving him and odd look.
"It's Colleen." he said softly.
"Who?" Michelle asked.
"Colleen, Nicky's ex-girlfriend."
"Who's Nicky?" Bria asked.
"Westlife guy." Rachel said. "Why's she here?"
"I dunno, but she's making out with Scott from 5ive so I'm assuming
not to see Nicky."
All the girls looked over to where Bryan was staring, sure enough there
was a girl hanging all over Scott.
"Interesting." Rissa said.
"Wait till Nicky finds out." Meg said making a worried face.
"Don't tell him." Bryan said quickly.
The girls agreed.
"Let him find out for himself." Bryan said. "Cause
honestly, I don't wanna be
the one to tell him."
"Anyway, let's go up and get ur stuff situated." Mel said to
Bria.
Bria nodded and followed the girls up to Rissa's room. They dropped her
luggage in Rissa's room and headed out into the hall again.
"Hey!" Michelle heard a voice call out. It was Danay from
Innosense.
"Hi." Michelle said hugging her. The girls in Innosense and the
girls in Creative Dreams had know each other for about two years and they
were pretty good friends. Nikki, Veronica, Mandy, and Jenny came bounding
down the hallway.
"You guys look great!" Mel said hugging Mandy.
"Thank you, ya'll look great too!" Nikki said.
Nikki and Rissa were cousins, and best friends. "Ris, I haven't
talked to you in weeks!" Nikki exclaimed hugging her.
"Nik, I know...I just been so busy." Rissa explained.
"That's okay." Nikki said, she looked at Rachel. "You look
amazing, how ya doing?"
"I'm good, thanx." Rachel smiled.
"You've met Bria before right?" Meg asked.
"Yea, yea...hi." Veronica said shaking her hand.
"Hi." Bria smiled.
"Did ya'll just get here?" Michelle asked.
"Yea, like 15 minutes ago." Jenny said.
"Dude-ette's did ya'll know that all the acts are on the same
floor?" Mandy said happily.
"Yea." Rachel said as everyone laughed.
"We're all on this floor?" Veronica asked.
Rissa nodded.
"So if I knocked on a door, it's very likely some pop star would
answer?"
Bria asked.
Mel nodded.
"Possibly even a cute male pop star?" Jenny said.
Meg nodded. "Half of the acts aren't here yet though." Meg
added.
"Yea, I think LFO, SClub7, and BSB are coming today. At least I hope
so because the first show is tomorrow and we need to do a run thru."
Rachel said.
"I heard BBMak is joining up midway thru the tour." Nikki said.
"Really?" Mel asked.
"Yea, because LFO aren't staying the whole time." Mandy
explained.
"Oh, why not?" Michelle asked.
"Well I was talking to Rich and he said they need to leave early b/c
they are planning their own tour." Nikki said.
"Oh that's cool." Rissa said. Just then she felt two hands cover
her eyes.
"Guess who?"
"NICK!!" Rissa yelled turning around and hugging him, of course
they started kissing.
"Gross." Mel said jokingly.
"Well, I guess BSB arrived." Mandy said.
Part

I
can't believe she brought...him." Mark said pointing to Abs. They all
had decided to go out to a club that night.
"Jealous?" Kian asked.
"No, she's just stupid for bringing him." Mark said
matter-of-factly.
Kian just smiled and nodded as he sipped his drink.
"Look, look at him, he's all over her." Mark made a disgusted
face.
Abs and Rachel were grinding out on the dance floor.
"Oh...kay
Mark." Kian
said walking away.
"So Nicky, wanna dance, or something?" Meg asked seeing him
sitting alone in the corner.
He shook his head.
"What's wrong with him?" Bria asked Meg as they walked away.
"He's STILL down about him and his girlfriend breaking up." Meg
told her.
"Oh yea, the Colleen girl who's with that other guy, that Nicky
doesn't know about yet." Bria said.
Meg nodded. "Very good."
"Well," Bria pointed out. "He'll probably find out soon
enough." Meg looked over and saw Scott and Colleen walk into the
club.
"Uh-oh." Meg said.
~~Rachel's point-of-view
"Hey there's Scott." Abs yelled into my ear. I nodded.
"Let's go say hi." he said pulling me off the dance floor.
"Scott!" Abs yelled over the incredibly loud music.
Scott turned around and held his arm up.
"What's up, mate?" Abs asked Scott.
"Not much, u?"
"This is Rachel." Abs said pointing to me. I waved and smiled.
"This is Scott and Colleen." Abs said.
"Hi, nice to meet you." I yelled over the music as I shook their
hands.
So this was Colleen. I wondered if Nicky saw her yet, probably not. Poor
guy, I felt bad for him. I looked around the room to see if I could see
him. He was sitting a table in the corner by himself. I looked back to
Scott and Colleen. Scott and Abs were talking about something or other...I
dunno. I wasn't paying attention, not that I could hear what they were
saying anyway.
"I'm gonna get a drink." I said to Abs he nodded and I just
walked away. I walked towards the bar. Nikki was flirting with Mark. I
rolled my eyes. Figures...I thought to myself. Mel walked over to me,
leaving Shane for the first time that whole evening.
"Hey did you see Colleen..."
I nodded. "Yea." I said. Us girls had never even met her, but we
felt like we knew her. We all felt inclined to protect Nicky for some
reason. He was a wreck over the breakup, and if...well WHEN he finds out
about this he'll be...I dunno, I'm guessing pissed off as all hell. I
looked over at the bar again, just to check up and Mark and Nikki. She was
still flirting with him. I noticed Mandy was already on the attack with
Shane over there. "Hey Mel, u better divert Mandy's attention from
Shane over there." I laughed.
Mel looked." Damn those girls are like gnats in the dead of summer,
what the hell. Bitch better back it up." Mel was so funny, hehehe.
She was awesome.
"Do you
think insect repellent would work on them though?" I asked.
"No, but I bet a swift kick in the ass would. We've known them for a
long time, but they get annoying after a while." Mel said.
I nodded.
Suddenly I heard a loud crash. I looked over and Nicky had Scott up
against the wall.
"Uh-oh." Mel said.
In a huge club like this no one really noticed but a select few people who
happen to be close enough. Colleen was screaming something, I couldn't
tell what. Maybe because of the loud music, or her horribly thick Irish
accent, whichever...probably a
combination of both. Shane was trying to tell Nicky it wasn't worth it and
to just let it go, but it fell on deaf ears. Nicky was screaming at Scott,
Scott was helpless pinned against the wall, practically choking to death.
Abs was yelling at Nicky to, wait let me see if I can get this
right...'Stop, being such an asshole, u stupid prick let him go.' I think
that's about right. I found it all quite amusing, I dunno. I thought it
was childish. Apparently so did Mark, because that's what I heard him tell
Nicky. After about five minutes Nicky finally let Scott go and walked out
of the club.
"Did u see that" Abs asked walking up to me.
I nodded. "I know how horrible." I said trying to feign some
kind of emotion.
"What a jerk."
I nodded. "Yea that was just awful."
Part
21
"Nicky!"
Meg called seeing him outside the club hailing a cab. He either didn't
hear her, or was just ignoring her. So Meg ran as fast as she
could in her heels to catch up with him. He was just about to close the
cab door when she grabbed it.
"Hey!" She
said jumping in and shutting the door.
"I
DON'T wanna talk about it." He said looking out the opposite window.
"Fine" Meg
said not giving up that easy. He'd have to talk to her
eventually. Either in this cab or back at the hotel she thought
stubbornly. Nicky was thinking just as stubbornly not saying a
single word during the twenty-five minute cab drive back to the hotel.
Once they got out of the cab Meg grabbed Nicky and dragged him
to the hotel bar.
"I
need a drink and I think you could use one too Mr. Byrne."
"I
still don't wanna talk about it Meg." Nicky said as they sat at the
bar and ordered drinks.
"Look
Nicky, that's fine. It's just that for some strange reason ,which seems to
have escaped me at the moment, I like your stubborn ass, and I don't like
to see you like this." She said matter-of-factly. Nicky
looked at her for a few seconds, he looked like he was thinking about he
statement and then he began to laugh.
"That's
more like it Nix!" she said smiling.
~~ Most of the group had left the club and headed back to the hotel after
the 'incident'.
Rachel's
point-of-view
"Okay,
so has anyone seen Nicky?" Kian asked walking into Mel and I's room.
"No."
I said as I sat on my bed watching TV. Mel was somewhere, with Shane I assumed.
Bria was with me watching TV.
"Me
neither." Bria said.
Kian
walked out. It was later that night, or actually early that morning. We'd
just got back from the club and Nicky wasn't at the hotel. Just
then Bryan walked in.
"Have
u seen Nicky?" he asked. I shook my head.
"Nope."
Bria said. Bryan walked out and then came back in a second later.
"Have
u seen Meg by any chance?"
"Uh,
no." I said thinking for a second. Then Bryan turned and left again.
"Gee,
I hope he's okay." Bria said about Nicky.
"I'm
sure he's fine." I said. I mean what could have happened to him, honestly,
he was probably just out wallowing in his self pity. As for
Meg... I kinda wondered where she was.
Mark
walked in.
"Have
you seen Nicky?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and shook my head
no. Bria laughed at my reaction.
"Well,
I'm glad u think this is funny, that Nicky's missing." Mark said.
I don't
think he would have reacted that way usually, but he was already mad at me.
"Calm
down Mark. It's just ur the third person whose asked in the last 5 minutes."
I said.
He
walked out.
"I
guess that's what I get for leaving my door wide open." I said
closing it. I flopped down on my bed.
"You
know, I think Mark's jealous of you and Abs." Bria said.
"U
think?" I said sarcastically.
It
was pretty obvious, apparently more so then I'd thought at first, b/c
Bria already noticed and she's been here only for a day. Of,
course I'm sure someone had filled her in on everything anyway. Someone
knocked on my door. I opened it. It was Mark.
"Sorry."
he said. I laughed.
"Whatever,
listen Nicky's fine. You guys worry too much. He's probably
somewhere drinking or walking or...SOMETHING." Mark nodded.
"Your
right."
"Did
u check the hotel bar?" Bria called out from behind me. Mark gave me
a look like 'why didn't I think of that' and he called down the hall
for Bryan.
"Bry,
let's check the hotel bar for Nicky!"
I
heard Bryan say "Okay!".
And
Mark ran down the hall after him.
"Well,
Bria...I think we've done our part."
"Wonder
where Meg is." Bria said.
"I
wouldn't worry about her."
