| There comes a point where you just want to scream because your life dream is not coming true. That�s how Shannon and I feel. We have been waiting two years to see the Backstreet Boys. Why can�t we ever go to one of their concerts? They�re always sold out and all. I really hate it. It was spring break and I told Shannon that we were going to Florida to catch some rays and to go to Disneyworld. She was all like �yeah, and maybe we just might run into the Backstreet Boys.� I just looked at her and we both laughed, �Yeah, I�m sure that we could see the, talk to them, and just hang out with them, right?� �You never know,� Shannon said. Spring break rolls around and we leave for Florida. Shannon was listening to one of her BSB albums and so was I. It was their album Millennium and both of us were reading magazines. The flight was a five hour flight, which was kind of a short flight. We got off the plane and I drove us to the house on the beach that my step dad owned. He told us that we were allowed to have a little break for doing so good in school. We stepped into the house, just wondering what we were planning on doing next. We both figured a night on the town wouldn�t hurt. We had gone to Orlando, but we had heard that BSB was still on tour and wouldn�t be back for another three weeks. As we were ready to go the phone rings. �Hello?� I asked. It was my dad. �Hi hon. How are you and Shannon?� �Fine and you?� �Fine. How was the flight?� he asked. �It was okay, kinda short, but oh well,� I answered. �Okay. What are you guys planning on doing?� �Oh, just go for a night on the town.� �Okay. Well, I won�t keep you guys anymore. Have fun.� �We will dad. Bye� As I hung up, I looked outside and saw this nice picture of Howie, who was my favorite Backstreet Boy, with AJ, Shannon�s favorite. Shannon just asked what I was looking at and I showed her. She just said �nice picture� and then we left. �Okay, Shannon. Dinner first?� I asked. �That�s cool.� �How about that little restaurant called Golden Buffet?� �Okay. Chinese sounds good right now.� As I pulled in, I noticed a sign that said �Favorite Restaurant for Howie Dorough�. I just freaked. I told Shannon and she just smiled and said �we get to eat here? Wohoo!� We sat down and both of us just wanted the buffet. During the meal we both were silent. That usually happens. We were just lost in your own thoughts and all. �It was funny�, I thought. �Here we were in Florida and I couldn�t meet Howie�. Shannon must have been thinking the same thing. �Shannon,� I said, �we will find a way to meet BSB. We are in their home city. Trust me, we will.� �I know we have to , but how? I don�t think they�re back yet and we have to leave in five days. Let�s not try and just enjoy our stay, okay?� �Shannon you know that I can�t do that. I will find a way to meet them. Come on, I�m done. Let�s go to that club that we saw earlier. Okay?� �Okay. Who knows? Maybe we can meet up with some fine guys and all.� The club was totally cool. Me and Shannon were having just the time of our lives. Then these guys were laughing in one of the back rooms. See, the place that me and Shannon were dancing at, was the hallway that lead into the back rooms. So, we just had to go and see. But before we could a group of five guys came running out. They totally pushed me and Shannon down. I was just so pissed, I felt like screaming �hey, watch where your going�. Then I saw this hand reach for me and another hand reach for Shannon. I just got up myself and said �damn you. Next time you should watch we�re your going. Now, when we were having a good time, have to leave and change.� During all of this, I could not look up because I was going to say something that I would regret. �I�m�, �Don�t even start,� I told him. �Theresa, shut up please.� �No, these guys pushed us down and I�m not going to forgive them that easily.� �Like I was saying before, I�m very sorry. Some girls got into and we just freaked. We didn�t notice you.� I stood dumbfounded because I knew that voice and I knew I said something that I would regret. I slowly raised my head and praying to God it wasn�t who I thought it was. �Hi, my names Howie Dorough. What�s yours?� �M..M..My..� �Her name is Theresa and I�m Shannon. It�s really nice to meet you guys.� �Y..Y..Yeah� �She spoke a word Howie.� The guy next to Howie said. I looked over and it was AJ. �I�m really sorry Howie for yelling at you. I didn�t mean to.� �That�s okay. We should have been paying attention. Would you let us make it up to you? �Um..Okay.� �Fine. Let�s go to this little club okay?� AJ suggested. �Shannon, do you have a problem with that?� I asked. �Um..No. I�ll ride with AJ and you can ride with Howie.� �Sure, I guess.� �This little teal car is mine.� �You like Mazda�s?� �Yeah. My favorite car is a corvette though. I totally think they look so cool.� �That�s what kind of car I have.� �Really? I own one too. My dad helped my buy it. I wish I could have my car but oh well. You are going to have to tell me where to go.� �Okay. It�s just a little club, called Clubbin�. Go down the street and hang a right on the second street.� �Okay.� �So, where do you and Shannon come from?� Howie asked. �How do you know that we don�t live around here?� |
