| Nick Carter lay on his bed, staring at hte ceiling. Soft music played in the background, but he was oblivious to it. The only thing that mattered was her. The woman tacked to his ceiling a year ago. That woman had changed his life.He looked into her brown eyes and stared at her windblown hair and sighed, " I love you." Angelina, the newest addition to the Carter girls' walls was hardly a break from the norm. She sang pop song, and was a regular on TRL and had hte number one album in the country. She was idllized by young girls and lusted after by young boys. Critics were harsh , as they are with all young pop stars, but weren't nearly as hard on her as they had been on Britney. She was beautiful... like ll stars are. Angel, Nick's youngest sister, was by far Angelina's biggest fan, and talked about her incessantly. " Angelina's on TRL today... Angelina's gonna be on tonight.... Angelina's gonna be at Pierce Mall today signing autographs..." Nick was basically forced into taking his little sister down to the mall, but only agreed after his mother gave him $50. " Don't lose her," She warned. Nick rolled his eyes, stuffing the money in his pocket. " I won't." HE said softly. It wasn;t that he didn't like Angelina, it was just that the last place he wanted to be was Pierce mall on a Saturday morning standing in line for some teen pop queen. Angel blasted Angelina's CD in the car for the 45 minute drive. " I have so many things to say, but all you wanna do is play. Baby open your eyes and see, With me you got lucky..." Angel sang along . Nick pulled into the parking lot finding it extremely full. " Great, he sighed. " See! I told you we should've left earlier." Angel complained to her older brother. " Why don't you go on inside and i'll find a spot." " Cause i'm supposed to stay near you... mom said." " But the longer you stay out here, the longer the line gets in there. Don't worry, I'll find you," She thought about it for a minute, beofre she saw a couple of girls her age run across the lot, giggling and carrying signs. " Alright." She said jumping out of hte car. " Don't be long," " I won't," He smiled. " Ok!" She squealed. " I'm gonna meet Angelina!!" Nick laughed and watched Angel run into the building before driving off in search of a spot. After a good fifteen minutes of searching Nick finally found a spot and headed inside to find his sister.He pushed through the crowds, occasionally stepping on someons foot, and apologizing profusely before continuing on. He fianlly found her, chatting away with some other girls about her new look. " I love the streaks," Angel said. " She looks sooooo beautiful," " What time is this thing supposed to start?" Nick asked one of the adults nearby. The mother looked down at her watch and back up at Nick. " In about a half hour," Nick stood patiently for those thrity minutes, casually talking to the parents and thinking abdut what he was gonna buy with his fifty bucks. As the time neared, the crowd started getting restless. They began cheering and chanting, Angelina! Shortly after, screams were herd as Angelina stepped on stage. She waved and shook a few hands, quickly speaking to a few reporters, before turning her attention to the audience. " How y'all doin?" She asked enthusiastically. The crowd cheered louder. After the cheering died down a little a few guys form the back screamed, " We Love you!" " Oh, i love you too," She laughed. Ok, so i'm chillin in the back, waiting to come out here to meet all of you guys, and Hannah, my wardrobe person, tells me to wear these boots, cause they go with my outfit. Do they?" More cheering. " Good god," Nick said to himself. " Who cares about your boots?" " Thank you. I like them too, but they kinda hurt my feet, so i'm gonna take thme off, okay? Y'all don;t mind if i perform without any shoes on do you?" More cheering. " Alright," She sat on the end of the stage, pulling off her boots and handing the to the stagehand. Her music was queued and she quicklly stood and performed ' What I See In You'. She perfomed a few more songs before that autograph signing began. She sat behind a table with a large bottle of water and a stack of photos. Holding the sharpie marker in her hand, she grabbed the first picture as the first few fans stepped up. " Hi," She smiled. Nick and Angel were in the middle of hte line, but the line was moving pretty fast. Angel conversed withthe girls in front of her while Nick wathced Angelina. He was fascinated by her. He had been after she sang 'What I See In You'. Everytiime she smiled, or shook, someone's had or took a picture... it seemed genuine. She actually seemed ot like conversing with fans and meeting people. Everytime she smiled, Nick smiled too. She lit up the room. Nick's heart began to quicken as the line progressed and he was closer to her. When they were about eight poeple away, Angelina looked over at Nick, and smiled quickly before turning her attention back to the fan in front of her. " Hi," She said. " Hi," Angel said excitedly. " I just wanted to tell you that i'm your biggest fan and i love you sooo much," " Thank you..." " Angel," " Angel," Angelina repeated. " We must be long lost sisters," " Oh i hope so," Angelina lsughed and signed ' To Angel, My long lost sister, Love Angelina,' She handed her the picture and looked over and Nick, who was standing a few feet away. " That your brother?" " Uh huh. He doesn't like you," " Really? He said that?" " Well not in so many words but..." Next Page |
