| �Please, don� t go,� I said. He came back and laid down with me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I had my head on his chest. I fell back asleep around 8:30. �Brian, why?� Shannon asked. She had fought the tears all day, but not anymore. She had three pictures of AJ and they just kept reminding her. She let Brian into her room and he held her as she cried on his shoulder. �Why did you let him have our number?� Shannon asked. �I totally forgot that the number was in there. I�m so sorry,� Brian said, rubbing her back. He started humming a tune and slowly Shannon closed her eyes. She fell asleep in his arms. He tried to lay her down and leave but she wrapped her arms around his waist. �Please don�t go,� Shannon said. �Okay,� Brian agreed. He laid down on her bed and pulled her close. He wrapped his arms around her waist and started humming again. Shannon didn�t know the tune until he started to sing. It was �Darlin�� and she soon fell asleep. An hour later, Brian looked down at her and smiled. He started pulling away, but Shannon held him tighter. He bent down and kissed her cheek and soon he fell asleep. I woke up around 8:00 and found no Kevin. �Thanks for being there Kevin,� I thought. I went to go turn on the T.V. and started watching MTV. On the table, I noticed two notes. One for Shannon and one for me. I took my note and read it. Dear Esa, :o) I hope you�re felling a little better. But if you ever need a hug, a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to, call me here: 745-9615, this is my hotel room number. Take care and I�ll see ya soon. Love Always, Kevin �How sweet,� I thought. I turned around and found Shannon reading the note over my shoulder. �Excuse me,� I said, laughing. �You know, Mr.B-Rok left a note too,� I said. She went over to the note and read it out loud. Dear Shannon, I hope things are going to be okay. But I�m sure they will be. If you ever need anything, please let me know. Call me, 745-9615. Take care and I�ll talk to ya later. Love Always, Brian �Ahh, how sweet,� I said. �So, what did you do last night?� I asked. I was going to the door to get the newspaper. I opened it and found a little surprise. Two white roses. I took them inside and handed Shannon her one rose. She read the card and I read mine. �Who?� I asked. �I don�t know.� I read Shannon�s note and it simply said the same thing. �I�. And it had a little message. The message said �to go to this clothes store and talk to Rachel, the manager.� �Shannon, this is weird. Could it have been one of the Boys? Or someone else?� �I have no damn clue. But whoever it is, they sure are sweet,� she said. She walked back to her room and started unpacking. 10 minutes later the phone rang. Shannon decided to let the machine pick it up. She went out to the living room and heard the message. �You are my fire, the one desire,� and then a click. �Hell no,� Shannon thought. Shannon walked over to the machine and replayed the message. She could feel the tears falling down. �Damn you,� she said and ran to her bedroom. �Shannon?� I asked, knocking on her bedroom door. �I hate him, I hate him. God, Theresa, leave. Just leave.� I walked out of her room and back to mine. She needed time alone and I understood. I unpacked my things, though it was very hard. I picked up the bag and opened it up. I pulled out the boxers and put them in my drawer. Then I pulled out the dress. I just looked at it for a while. I decided to try it on again. I smiled when I looked in the mirror, remembering the event of that night. I was shocked when I saw that he had bought that. And then I figured Shannon had told him. �Shannon, I just want you to know that I�ll always be here for you,� I thought. I left my room and went to the kitchen. I found some things and decided to make a sandwich. The phone rang and I went to pick it up. �Hello?� �Hi. How are you?� �I�m okay. And you Lance?� �Still tired. I just got a call saying that we had to start recording the Christmas album earlier then we thought. So, I have to leave in a few days. �Oh. So, are you just going to stay there?� �Yeah. I thought, though, that I might come and visit?� �Oh, yeah. When? Let me guess, now?� I said, smiling. I opened the door and found him there. �Please, do come in,� I said. I grabbed his bag and put it in my room. I checked on Shannon and saw that she cried herself to sleep. I quietly walked in and covered her up. I walked out and told Lance that we should go out. I left Shannon a note saying: Shannon, Lance came in to visit and we went out to lunch. I�ll bring something back. I hope your feeling better. Help yourself to anything. And I�ll see ya in a few. Love YA! Love Always, Resa I put that on the table and we left. Shannon woke up and saw that she was covered. �Thanks Theresa,� she thought. She walked out of her room and went to the kitchen. She found the note and decided she�d just wait around for me. She went to her room and unpacked. But, the first thing she saw was the blue silk dress. She slowly pulled it out and just looked at it. She went to the closet and hung it up. She finished her unpacking and went and watched T.V. She put on MTV and �I Want It That Way� came on. I walked through the door and told Shannon to come on. �Why?� she asked, watching the video. She looked up as I opened the door. �We�re going to go talk to that sales clerk,� I said, already walking through the door. She followed me and locked up. We got in the car and arrived at the store in 15 minutes. Lance, through, had no clue what was going on, but he still followed us into the store. |
