| I woke up the next morning by someone snoring next to me and I turned my head to find Nick lying there. I grinned for myself as I remembered what had happened: after the bar closed, we took a cab back to the hotel and after a little fooling around, we finally hit it. And damn, the boy was good! Plus he had one hell of a nice booty. I giggled silently and was surprised when Nick spoke to me. �What�s funny?� He asked. �Umm, nothing.� I said with a smile as I turned around to look at him. �Aw, man, something�s up! Please tell me?� Nick said, as he laid down on top of me. �Well, I was just thinking about what a nice ass you have.� I said and grinned as I felt Nick�s dick press against my thigh. �Horny again, are we?� I smiled, as I slid my arms around him. �Always.� Nick grinned and kissed me. �But dude, you know, I ain�t down with that just �cause you are.� I said. �So you mean I actually gotta work for it before I get some? Damn!� Nick joked. �Yeah, life�s a bitch, huh?� I grinned. �Not really. Besides, I don�t mind. Let�s see what I can do.� Nick smirked and disappeared under the blanket. *Later* �What the hell are you so happy about?� Justin asked as I met up with him and the rest of the guys. They were going to the studio to record and asked me if I wanted to come too, which I accepted. �Nothing.� I said and immediately stopped smiling. We went downstairs and was picked up by a limo and driven to the studio. Justin went right into the booth to record his solo and JC went over and sat down next to me. �Are you alright?� He asked concerned. �Not really.� I sighed as I felt the tears pressing on and threatened to come. �I noticed how Justin snapped at you. That�s so unlike him. I guess it�s the whole Nick-thing. He really cares for you, Ann.� JC said and put his arm around me. �I know. I just dunno what to do.� I said. �Well, how do you feel about them? Do you like Nick?� JC asked. �Oh hell yeah I like Nick!� I said. �What about Justin?� JC asked. �I like him too. It�s just so confusing, because they�re both so sweet and nice and caring and good-looking�� I said and sighed. �Well, one thing I know for sure: Justin would never ever cheat on you.� JC said. �Why, you think Nick will?� I asked and looked at him. JC shrugged and avoided my eyes. �That I wouldn�t know. To me he just seems like a �wham bam thank you ma�am� kinda guy. That�s all.� JC said. �You really think so??� I asked doubtfully. �Yes. I�m not saying this for the sake of Justin; I�m saying this �cause that�s the impression I get of him. I could be wrong, though.� JC said. �Yeah. You know what, I think I�ll head back to the hotel. Okay?� I said as I stood up. �What, I thought you wanted to stay here today?� JC asked. �I did, but uh, I forgot I had something to do. I�ll see you back there.� I said, as I quickly walked out. Once I was outside the studio, I finally allowed myself to cry. I cried because I was so confused about everything; would Nick really cheat on me if we got together? Would Justin hate me? Why were my feelings for Justin so weird? Was I in love with him but just didn�t know it yet? All these thoughts were running through my head as I ran out of the building and just heard the screeching sound of breaks before I felt a pain in my side and everything went black. �Oh my God, is she gonna be alright?� - �As far as we know, yes. You may wanna wait outside.� - �No! I wanna be here in case she wakes up.� - �It could be hours!� - �But I want to.� - �Alright, fine. But be quiet.� Everything was quiet and I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar person sitting next to my bed. It was guy he seemed around 23 and had blonde hair. �Hi, sweetie. Are you alright? You sure gave us a shock there.� He said with a smile as he softly touched my face. �Us?� I asked. �Yeah. Me, Justin and the rest of the guys.� He said. �Who�re they? And who�re you?� I asked. His face went pale and he stopped smiling. �You mean you don�t remember anything?� He asked. �No. Who am I?� I asked. �NURSE!� The man yelled and ran to the door. �Do you remember anything at all? Your name? Your parents? How old you are? Anything?� The doctor asked while looking at me. �No. I�m sorry, but I don�t, doc.� I said. �Well� you�ve got a lot of visitors here. I�ll bring them in one by one and they�ll tell you everything they know about you and if you feel anything, call the nurse.� The doctor said. �I will.� I said. The doctor went out and the blonde guy came in again. He sat down next to the bed and looked at me. �So you really don�t remember anything, huh?� He asked and took my hand. �No. Could you please tell me everything you know?� I asked. �Of course! Your name is Ann and you�re 21 years old. You were born June 13, 1982 in Denmark, but you live in Florida, USA now. That�s how we met, by the way.� The guy said and smiled to me. �And who�re you?� I asked. �I�m Nick. Nick Carter. I�m 23 years old and we�ve been together for a few days. We met the day after you�d been out with Justin and Britney and I came over to check on him.� Nick said. �Justin and Britney?� I asked. My head already hurt by remembering so many things. �Justin is your best friend and so is Britney. But Justin and you are closer. Justin and I also kinda �fought� over you, if you wanna call it that. But you made the decision.� Nick said. �Wait, you mean I had two guys fighting over me?� I asked. �Yes. Well, three actually. Ashley too.� Nick said. �What a horrible person I must�ve been!� I said. �You weren�t. You were so nice and caring.� Nick said. �Did we have a special song? The doctor said I might remember something if I hear a special song or just a line.� I said. Nick thought for a moment. �No, we didn�t get that far in the relationship.� He said. �Okay.� I said and sighed. �Want me to send one of the others in?� He asked and stood up. �Yes, please.� I said. Nick kissed my forehead and went out and seconds later another guy stepped in. �So this is where my Angel is when she�s not back at the hotel.� He said and smiled. �Angel? I thought my name was Ann?� I asked, confused. �It is, sorry. But my private little nickname for you is Angel.� He said. �Okay. Who�re you?� I asked. �I�m Justin, your best friend.� He said. �Oh, you�re the guy who�s also friends with Britney, right?� I said. Justin smiled and sat down. �Yes, that�s me.� He said. �Alright. Do you know if anything happened I�ve wished to forget? Something bad? �Cause the doctor said that if I hear a song or a line, my brain will �wake up� again. He told me that what I don�t remember is something I don�t want to remember.� I said. Justin, for some reason, avoided my eyes. �No, I dunno.� He quickly said. �Justin, are you hiding something from me?� I asked. �No! Why do you think that?� Justin asked and looked at his hands. �Because you act like it.� I said. �Well, I�m not.� He said and kept avoiding my eyes. �But you do act like it. What is it you don�t want me to remember? What are you afraid of?� I asked. �Nothing.� He simply replied. �This is not fair! If you know something and you think that could help me remember and you�re keeping it from me, what kind of friend are you then?!� I asked, as I became mad. �Oh yeah, look who�s talking! We were so close to become a couple and then you choose Nick instead of me!� Justin yelled. �Out! Now! I don�t wanna see you anymore!� I yelled. �Whatever.� Justin said as he stormed out of the room. �Shit.� I mumbled and laid down on the bed again. Nick walked in a few minutes later. �Are you okay?� He asked. �I am, I�m just pissed at Justin, �cause he obviously knows something, but he won�t tell me. Do you know what it is?� I asked. Nick shook his head no. �Sorry, can�t help you. You and Justin have this special relationship. I don�t know what you talk about when you�re together.� He said and continued, �By the way, your friend, Daisy, found your parents� telephone number in your suitcase and we called them. They�re on their way now.� �Thank you.� I said and smiled. Nick bend down and softly kissed me. �Damn, I missed that smile.� He said, which - obviously - made me smile even more. |
