Brian took Nick to the side and explained to him about what happened. Nick nodded as he walked over to her as the other guys left to go get ready.
�What�s your name?�, Nick asked as he sat down next to her.
�Danielle�, she said softly looking up as the tears fell down her face.
�Danielle, that�s a nice name�, Nick smiled as he wiped away her tears with his thumb, �Do you know why that picture I drew looks like you?�
�No, why?�, she asked.
�Because it is you that I drew�, Nick told her, �I�ve been looking all over for you�
�I�ve never seen you before though�, Danielle said confused. Nick looked at his watch and reach in his pocket.
�Here take this backstage pass, I want to explain everything to you after the concert�, Nick told her as she nodded and took the backstage pass.
�Can I have one for my friend?�, she asked.
�Yea sure�, Nick nodded, �Be right back�. A few minutes later he came back and gave her another backstage pass.
�Thanks�, she said with a small smile as they both stood up. Nick reached out and gave her a hug.
�I�m sorry that girl had to do that to you. We can discuss afterwards if you would like to take charges against her�, Nick said as he looked straight into her eyes.
�Thanks�, Danielle nodded, �I guess I�ll see you after the concert then�
�Yeah c-ya then�, Nick smiled as she walked back out to the arena to her seat.
Throughout the whole concert Danielle noticed how much Nick kept watching her.
�So what do you think is going to happen between you and Nick?�, Ashley asked as the concert ended.
�What do you mean?�, Danielle asked not wanting to admit anything.
�Well do you think you two will have a relationship together or are you gonna say that long distant relationships don�t work again?�, Ashley asked.
�Well they don�t�, Danielle told her.
�Danielle will you just stop, you two coming together maybe it�s faith telling you he�s the right one, I mean you did say that he told you that picture he drew was really you�, Ashley said.
�Yea�, she sighed, �Come on lets go backstage now�


Backstage

�Hey you feeling better now?�, AJ asked as he walked up to Danielle and Ashley.
�Hi AJ, yea thanks. I�d like you to meet my friend Ashley. Ashley this is AJ�, Danielle responded.
�Hi�, they both said at the same time.
�Hey Ashley would you like to go check the rest of the backstage area and meet everybody?�, AJ asked wanting to give Danielle and Nick time alone to talk.
�Yea sure�, Ashley nodded.
�Where�s Nick at?�, Danielle asked.
�Go straight down that hall and it�s the second door on the right�, AJ told her as Ashley and him left. Danielle walked down the hall and reached the door. She stood there for a moment and then knocked the door as she heard Nick, �Come in�
�Hi�, she answered as she walked in and shut the door behind her.



�You better?�, Nick asked.
�Yes, that was a great concert�, Danielle smiled as she sat down next to him on the couch.
�I�ve been waiting for you for such a long time�, Nick sighed.
�What do you mean?�, Danielle asked. Nick explained about all the dreams with her in them and how he had images of her and the same things happened to him.
�Danielle I know you have been really down lately because I know about what happened with your mother, and I�m really sorry. I want to be here for you�, Nick told her. A tear fell down Danielle�s face, �She didn�t deserve to die�. Nick pulled her into his arms as she broke down, he rubbed her back trying to comfort her.
�I know she didn�t�, Nick agreed, �Danielle life is the most wonderful thing in the world but there are some tragedies in it. There are also some great things that come into your life, and I wanna be one of them. I wanna be able to come into your life and get to know you better�
Danielle looked into Nick�s eyes and thought to herself, deep down in those eyes she felt like she had known him for years, he was a truly honest, good looking guy. He wanted her in his life and she actually felt like they had something even though this was the first time she met him.
�I want you in my life too�, Danielle said as Nick smiled. Danielle smiled as well as they both leaned in and were caught in a soft passionate kiss.
