Chapter 1
Nick Carter and Emily Jacobs had been friends forever.� They�ve known and played with each other ever since they were born, on the exact same day, January 28th, 1980.� Their moms were best friends and so were they.� They�ve never been apart for more than a day in their whole lives and Emily has slept over at the Carters� more times than she could remember, always trying to escape her parents, who�s screaming matches lasted for hours.� When they finally divorced, Nick was there for her all the way and it seemed like he would always be there.� But then things changed.� As they got older, things became different.� When they both hit fifteen and started dating, neither could hold steady relationships because their boyfriend or girlfriend would get insanely jealous of their friendship.� Then Nick became famous and sometimes Emily didn�t see him for months.� Today wasn�t much different.� Emily sat in the Carters� kitchen, sipping a glass of orange juice, the bright Florida sun glinting off the gold highlights in her light brown hair.� Emily was almost always at the Carters�, even when Nick wasn�t at home - she was like Jane Carter�s fourth daughter, especially since her mom was always at work trying to be the perfect mom AND dad for Emily.
�Em?� a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.
�Nick!� Emily smiled, running over to give him a hug, �I didn�t hear you come back.� I didn�t think you�d be back for another month.�
�Yep, well here I am.� Missed ya,� Nick hugged her back, giving her one of his famous smiles; the ones that never failed to make girls melt.
�So how did the tour go?� Emily asked, following Nick up the stairs to his room.
�Well, Mandy opened for us really well.� Leighanne dropped by to tour with us for a while and Brian proposed to her!� And I�m gonna be his best friend!� Nick grinned.
�Best friend?� Really Nick?� Gee, I would have sworn you already were Brian�s best friend a couple of years ago,� Emily smirked.
�No, Em!� I�m gonna be his best friend like, you noe, at those weddings, the guy that holds the ring!� Nick said, a confused look on his face.
�You mean his Best man?� Emily laughed.
�Oh�yeah�that guy,� Nick smiled sheepishly.
�You�re so stupid Carter!� Emily teased.
�Hey!� At least I�m not�not�.�
�Not what Nick?� Not a guy?� You�re a backdoor boy!!!!� Emily laughed.
�Hey!� MOOMM!!!� Nick whined.
�Go ahead Nick.� Whine.� Your mom�s not even home!� You whine too much Nick.�
�I do not!� I do not whine!� Nick glared self-righteously.
�Do too!� MOM!� Emily mimicked.
�Oh, now you�re gonna get it Em!!�� Nick cried, running after her and tackling her to the floor, tickling her sides.
�Stop!!� Stop�. no�. stop!� Emily cried, tears coming down her face from laughter.
�I�m not gonna stop until you say Nick Carter is the cutest, nicest, most perfect guy in the world!� Nick threatened, holding her hostage.
�Fine!� Fine I will!!!� Emily said half laughing.� Nick let her go and she stood up.� Straightening her blue � length shirt, and wiping the smile off her face, she looked straight into his eyes.� �Nick Carter is NOT the cutest, nicest, most perfect guy in the world!�� And she burst out laughing.
�Oh you�re gonna really get it this time��
