| Shooting Star by Kristen Chapter 1 *A Night of Pure Hell and Heartbreak* |
| She puffed on her cigarette, and looked at the beautiful creature standing in front of her. There he was, standing there, talking to his friends......, when he noticed her. "Hey guys, I'll catch up with you later." He had a smile on his face, as he approched her. "I'm sorry, do I know you??" She puffed on her cigarette again, and exhaled the smoke into the air; "I don't think so....I just must have one of those faces." she smiled, and put out her cigarette. "Um listen, do you want to go for a walk or something?? It's getting kinda crowded and stuffy in here." She slowly stood up; "Sure......." She noticed a blonde girl from across the room glaring at her burning a hole through her soul it seemed she was staring so hard. "By the way, my name's Nick...." "I know....I'm Kristen." "Oh....that's a beautiful name." he smiled, as they walked onto the beach. Nick looked up at the night sky; "Lovely night......." "Yeah...so it is......" "I can't get over how familiar you look to me......where did you go to high school at??" "Ohio." "Oh. Your name is Kristen, right??" "Yes." "Hmmm.....would you like a drink Kristen??" "I dunno....what do you have??" "Would you like water or something....??" "Sure....I don't drink anything with alcohol anyways." We walked back in the hall, and there was the blond girl glaring at Kristen again.... Nick looked at her angry, twisted face.... "Kristen, meet me at the bar...I'll be there in a second." "Sure......" she looked at the girl again glaring at her; "Um, I'm sorry, but is there some reason, you're glaring at me??" "You're with my boyfriend bitch." she replied. "Now I didn't know that he was you're boyfriend....there's no need for profanity...." "Yes there is...you fucking whore!" she shoved Kristen. "Now, now Mandy....this is a really big night for us....please don't ruin it!!" "Shut up Nick!" she slapped him. "Hey!! Don't hit him...this is between you, and me......you leave him out of this!!" "Well, he's involved now!!!" She swung, and punched Kristen in the mouth, causing her to lunge torward the ground. She touched her lip, and her fingers were covered in blood. She continued kicking Kristen in the back untill she heard someone scream; "Hey!! Knock it off!!!" a bright red haired man, with black tinted glasses came to Kristen's side; "I'm really sorry Miss....are you alright??" he helped her to her feet. She sighed; "Yeah.....I'm fine.....Nick are you alright??" she turned to the man, who was holding his cheek, that was turning red, and starting to swell. "No...I'm not alright. Mandy, I want you out of here, and out of my life for good!!!" "No! Nick you love me!! Admit it!! You love me!!" Kristen noticed that tears flodded his beautiful blue eyes. "I do...but I can't take the physical, and emotional abuse I've taken from you any longer!! Leave, and don't come back!! I want your stuff out of my house, by this weekend, you hear me!?!" "Fine!!" she walked off, steaming mad. "Whoa....Nick man....I'm really sorry....." The red haired man, with black tinted glasses put his hand on his shoulder, as Nick turned away, and walked out the door. "Nick!!" Kristen came after him; "Wait!! Please don't go." Nick wiped a tear from his eye, and turned away from Kristen. "I'm really sorry....I feel that this is all my fault." "No....no." Nick sobbed. "It's not...." "I really feel bad......" "Don't." he looked up at the night sky, as a shooting star fell from the sky to the ground. "Oh Nick....look." she sat down beside him, on the rock next to the shoreline, and pointed at the star. "Go on.....make a wish....." Nick closed his eyes, and wished that he would find someone to love him for him.... Kristen closed her eyes and wished for someone to love her for her. They both opened they're eyes, and Kristen smiled; "So.....what'd ya wish for??" "I can't tell you that....." "Why not??" "Then it won't come true....." Kristen laughed. Then Nick laughed. "Do you want to go back in?? I mean, it's YOUR album release party.....so....I think you should be there......I am really sorry Nick." she put her hand on his shoulder. Nick smiled; "I am too." "Why??" "Your lip." "Oh....." she touched the swollen flesh, and shrugged. "Whatever dosen't kill me makes me stronger....ya know?" "Yeah....I guess so." Nick smiled. They started walking back into the hall, when Nick asked; "Hey Kristen.....what is you're job profession??" "Me?" "No.....the other Kristen!! Yeah you!" "Oh!!" she laughed; "I'm a singer." "Really??" Nick asked. "Yup." she smiled. "Um.....do you have an album out??" "Yea....." "What's it called??" "Fantasy World." "You're the one that sings; 'Fantasy World'??You're Kristen Hess!? THE KRISTEN HESS!?" "Um......yea......is that good or bad??" "Good!! I love that song!!!! I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!!" "Really??" "Yeah!! Will you sing a little bit for us?? Ya know.....to get the crowd rowdy??" "Um....yeah.....sure....I guess." Nick ran up on the stage, and said; "Can I have everyone's attention please??" Everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at Nick. "We have a very special guest tonight......here to sing a little bit of her hit singles.....Kristen Hess!!!!" Kristen walked up on stage, and smiled at everyone. "Hello everone, and thank you for coming......um.....I wish the Backstreet Boys nothing but success.....good luck guys." Nick walked back over to the rest of the guys. "Nick......please tell me that that is an imposter, and not the REAL Kristen Hess....." "Why?? It's not.....don't you like her A.J.??" "Yeah I do!!! She's cute!!! That's really her!?" "Yeah." "Mandy punched her, and she didn't fight back!?" "Yeah.....her lip looks really nasty.....but she says she's fine." "Hey Nick.....did you invite her?? Because this is a private party.....and she's not on Jive Records?? Who invited her??" A.J. asked. "No I didn't......did you?" "No.....did you invite her Kev??" "No......Howie??" "Uh-uh....ROK??" "Um......no....but she has the same management as we do.....they invited her." "Oh...." they all said at the same time. "You're livin in a fantasy......" Kristen finished her last line, and bowed. "Thank you so much!!" she smiled. She walked off stage, and walked toward Nick; "Hey Nick how about that water??" "Um....Kristen...maybe we should get you to a doctor." "Why?? I'm fine." "No....you're lip looks awful." "Yeah....Nick's right......hi, I'm......" "........A.J. McLean. I know who you are....that's Kevin, Brian, and that's Howie......." Story Index Next Chapter |
