Ayzlin Barajas was an only child, but she didn't feel that way. She was born in Cinncinnati, Ohio, and lived next door to two boys, the eldest of which was like her older brother. His name was Nick Lachey, and he was eight years older than her. She affectionately called him Bubby in her younger years, and the name stuck through her teens. The younger of the two boys, Drew, was her best friend. He was five years older than her, but they were close just the same.
When she was twelve years old, Nick left Cinncinnati to go to LA with two friends, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre. Ayzlin was somewhat stressed out about it, but she adjusted to not having her "big brother" around all the time. She grew independent and learned how to take care of herself, but within reason.
Ayzlin grew into a beautiful girl, starting when she was thirteen. She'd always had some kind of beauty to her, but  up until the summer she turned thirteen, it wasn't extreme. Then, she got glasses, and a figure. She turned a beautiful tan and her golden brown eyes held a fire that no one could explain. She was an  athlete and a dancer.
When she was fourteen, and Drew was nineteen, Drew left for LA to join his older brother and his two friends in their music group. Ayzlin grew even more independent, knowing she had no one really to watch out for her.
When she was fifteen, Drew twenty, and Nick twenty-three, 98 Degrees signed a record deal. Ayzlin was proud of them, and was a fan since the start. They appreciated her support and called her often, even when they were busy.
  Two years later, 98 Degrees was the next big thing. Ayzlin was a senior in high school. The door of her locker was covered with pictures of her and them together.
One fall day, in her first two months of school, Nick and Drew flew in and were going to visit her that night.
That was the night that changed it all. Ayzlin was in for the roller coaster ride of a lifetime.
