| The day was going good. Everyone was busy packing all of their stuff for the tour. Luckily I had already went shopping for killer outfits for whenever we went clubbing. But why did I still feel lousy about Justin? Two hours ago I left from the restaurant and I could have sworn the poor guy was crying. He must have really loved that girl ... wonder who the bitch was? After packing for nearly twenty minutes, Joey came over. "Hey Joey!" I said giving him a quick hug. "Hello beautiful! So...you ready?" Joey asked. "Almost, want something to eat...drink?" I offered as I lead him to my living room. "So, you live with your dad?" Joey asked as I handed him an Ice tea. "Yeah." I answered with a smile. We talked for a little while longer, until it was just about time to go, I told Joey that I'd be back down stairs in five minutes, I needed to talk to my dad. "IM leaving..." I said to my father not really sure of what I should say. "Well, since you'll be on tour for your 18th birthday, I wanted to give you this." My father said handing me a large present bag. "Thanks." I said with a smile. "So...how are you going to finish school?" My father asked. "I'll get it through mail and then I can come back home to graduate." I answered. "What about college?" My father asked. "Dad you know I'm not interested in going to college.." I said. "Yeah...." My father said and I knew he was disappointed. "I might, dad, maybe after a couple years." I said. "I love you Holly, you know that right?" My father asked. "Yeah I know. I love you too." I said as I gave him a hug. We said our good-byes and I walked out of the house with a new look at life. "What's in the bag?" Joey asked curiously. "I don't know, my father told me to open it on the bus, its for my 18th birthday. It sure is heavy though." I answered. We finally got to where the tour bus was. "Hey!" I said to all the guys. "Where's Justin?" I asked. "He went to sleep early." Lance told me. I nodded in understandment. "One bus?" One of the dancers, Melanie, asked. "Yeah why? What were you expecting?"Joey asked with a grin. "Well, I thought you'd have two buses, one for you guys and one for the dancers." Melanie answered with a smile. "That's what I figured." I laughed. "Well, were supposed to get to know all of you first. So the first bus is always going to be the hughest one, because everyone is on it." JC explained. "Cool!" I exclaimed happily. I really liked hanging out with the guys. I honestly thought I'd have a great time. We all talked awhile longer and then the guys helped us with our bags. They showed me around the tour bus and I noticed someone in a bunk. "Who's that?" I asked. "That's Justin, you wont really see much of him." Joey said. "Oh." I said for some reason I really did feel sorry for Justin. After about three hours the tour bus was on its way to the next state. Everyone, minus Justin, was talking and having a good time. But soon enough everyone got tired so we all headed to our bunks. I was so glad that I got a bottom bunk, I always feel out of bed for some strange reason whenever I was on top bunk. ~*~Next Morning~*~ I woke up to Chris shaking me. "Wake up!" "Ugh....Im up..." I said rolling off of the bed and falling to the floor. "Ow..." I muttered. "I forgot how small these beds were." I said getting up and rubbing my butt. "Why'd you wake me up so early?" I asked confused. "Well, were at our first stop. Were going to be staying in a hotel for the next day." Chris answered. "Cool..." I uttered as Chris helped me with my bags to my hotel room. I fell back asleep as soon as Chris shut the door behind him. An hour later I woke up and decided to take a bubble bath. 'I hope they have candles some where around here....' I thought to myself as I searched around the hotel room. I found for of them, placed them around the tub and enjoyed my bath. It was my favorite thing to do, take a long bubble bath with candles around the tub and the lights out. I finally got out, brushed my teeth, changed, fixed my hair, and put on a little bit of make-up. I walked out the door with my hair in its natural long blonde curls. I wore Jean petal pushers, a baby blue one sleeved shirt, and white sketchers. I left the hotel area and spotted Justin across the street sitting at a bar table drinking coffee in the coffee shop. I've never gotten a chance to talk to Justin and I wanted to make a good first impression. I crossed the street and quickly walked up to him. "Hey Justin!" I said sitting next to him. He never looked up he just starred sadly at his coffee. "So how are you enjoying your vacation?" I asked trying to make conversation. "Why does your voice sound familiar?" Justin asked. "Maybe It's because we do choreography together." I answered remembering that he never has seen me. Justin looked up in amazement, 'She's Beautiful!' Justin thought. "Hi, IM Holly." I said with my contagious smile. Although Justin didn't want to smile, my smile lightened the mood and he smiled back, "IM...Justin." He said shaking my hand. "Sorry I haven't really made myself noticeable." Justin apologize. "It's OK. Breakups can be tough." I said and then quickly regretted what I had just said. "IM so sorry! I should have never said that!" Now it was me apologizing. "No, its OK." Justin said. "Really, don't feel bad." Justin said. Even though he didn't want to talk their was something about Holly that made him want to talk to her. "Holly...that's a beautiful name." Justin said sweetly. "Thanks I got it from my grandmother." I said. We talked for a long time, I didn't realize how long we talked. I even got Justin to stop talking about Britney for a few minutes. I could tell he really loved her. I felt really horrible. "Thanks Holly." Justin said. "For what?" I asked. "For listening to me. It means a lot." "Oh its no problem really." I said. "We better get back, we've been talking for hours." Justin said. "Good Idea." I agreed as he helped me off the stool. We walked across the street and into the dinner area where everyone was waiting for their food. Both Justin and I were laughing hysterically about one of Justin's dumb jokes and everyone stared in disbelief. "Justin? Your back to your regular self?" Chris asked amazed. Justin never answered. Justin was back! They were all laughing and joking around everyone was glad that Justin was joining in. In some way Holly had changed him. After eating they all left to their rooms. "I was wondering...I really like how we get to talk, and.." Justin trailed off not sure how to ask. "Yes, Justin we can talk whenever you want to." I said giving him a comforting hug. "Thanks." Justin said as he walked across the hallway and into his hotel room. 'Damn.' I thought to myself,' he's a lot hotter in person.' I went to run water and put bubbles in it when the phone rang. "Hello?" I asked. "HELLO!?" I asked again a little agitated. "Holly..." A mans voice trailed off. "Who is this?" I asked. The voice sounded so familiar, but I didn't know who it was. "It's only been a few months how can you forget so damn easily?" The man asked angrily. "Brent?" I managed to choke out. "How the hell do you know where I am?" I asked angrily. "I work here sweetie." Brent said with a laugh. "No." I uttered. "Which means you'll be getting a pleasant surprise tonight." He said laughing. I hung up the phone. How would he be able to get to me anyway? My door would be locked! An hour later, I turned out the lights and started to go to sleep, but then I heard keys. That's when I had realized how completely dumb I had been He had a master key! There was no way in hell I would be able to get away now. I was now watching the door, I notice how light started to filter in. "Hello Holly." He whispered which scared me even more than he would have. |
