Chapter 1 by babybunny
She sat in her bathroom, alone, shaking from crying so hard. She shut her eyes tightly as she grabbed the blade off of her sink. She laid it beside her and opened her eyes, staring hard at it. She reached for it with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Angel! Open this door! she hoped someone would scream. But instead there was silence.

Nobody was home, and she knew she could get away with what was going on through her head.

Picking up the blade, she laid it on her wrist, pressing it against her skin. Shutting her eyes, she pressed harder and slowly moved it across her wrist. Howling in pain, she slit quicker and threw the blade against the bathroom door. She grabbed a towel ad pressed it against her wrist, trying to stop the blood. She knew what she had done and she knew it was wrong, but in a way she was relieved because her pain was focused somewhere else. Wrapping the towel around her wrist, she washed the blade and put it in her medicine cabinet.

Sighing, she walked down the stairs of her empty house, not worried if anyone was going to walk in or not. It was completely silent all until the phone rang.

"Hello?" she asked, trying to sound normal.
"Hey Ang!" her best friend, Kiera, exclaimed over the phone.
"Hey," Angel replied nonchalantly.
"Guess what!" Kiera said, excitedly.
"What?" Angel replied.
"I GOT BSB TICKETS!" Kiera exclaimed, shouting into the phone. Angel could hear her jumping up and down in he room.
"Awesome," Angel said with her mood slightly lightening. She had always wanted to see the Backstreet Boys in concert.
"We have first row to the right!" Kiera exclaimed.
"That's awesome," Angel smiled. "When is it?"
"In a week," Kiera replied.
"And you got those seats?" Angel asked.
"My dad got them," Kiera said.
"Good shit," Angel said with a slight smile.
"We definitely need to go shopping before we go," Kiera said.
"Kier, you and I both wear the same kind of clothing. We wear the same style," Angel said, cleaning out the cut and placing a big bandaid over it. She tied her dyed dark red hair up in a ponytail and sat down on the couch.
"Okay, so we'll go to Hot Topic," Kiera said.
"Okay. Pick me up. I have to talk to you anyway, but you're going to be mad at me," Angel said, looking down at her wound.
"What did you do?" Kiera asked.
"We'll talk when you get here," Angel said. Kiera sighed and said her goodbyes saying that she would be at Angel's house within 15 minutes.

Sighing again, Angel got up and walked into her room to put some makeup on and put some different clothes on. She threw on her black shirt that was 3/4 sleeved and her bondange pants on that were plaid. She put on some black eyeliner and then looked at her nails.

I gotta get them repainted. I suck at it. Maybe Kiera will do it for me. *thought*

A few minutes later, she heard the doorbell ring. She trotted down the stairs and opened the door only to see her best friend.

Kiera wasn't like most girls in the neighborhood. With her natural blonde hair streaked with blue and cropped to the nape of her neck, one would think she was unapproachable. But she was the exact opposite with her warm blue-gray eyes and tortoise rimmed glasses perched upon her button nose. A stud glittered from her left nostril, offering an innocent touch with her eyebrow and tongue rings. Her ears were double pierced along with a cartilege ring. Her style was like Angel's, more punk with tons of black and chains from stores like Hot Topic. The girls were both 23, but still giggled over the Backstreet Boys.

"Ready?" Angel asked, hoping Kiera wouldn't remember that Angel had to talk to her.
"No. Sit," Kiera said, pushing Angel to the couch and sitting her down and standing in front of her.

Angel knew she was in trouble, so she sighed and told her what had happened.

Kiera's eyes filled with tears.

"Angel, why didn't you call me? Why did you do it?" Kiera asked, sitting next to her best friend and grabbing her hands in her own.
"I didn't want to bother you with my problems," Angel said, forming tears of her own.
"I always have time for you, Angel! You should know that!" Kiera said.
"I'm sorry," Angel said, breaking down into sobs. Kiera wrapped her arms around her best friend and cradled her.

Twenty minutes later, the girls dried their faces off and left Angel's house to head over to the mall to shop in Hot Topic. Once they got there, they were both in better moods, singing to BSB and dancing in the car, making people look at them funny when they were at a red light. It's what Angel loved. She loved being with her best friend and being a complete dork.

Hours passed by, and they were pooped from shopping and they headed back to Kiera's house to relax before Angel had to go back home. The girls were both excited about what they had bought and decided to show it off to each other again.

"I love this!" Kiera said, holding up a cute outfit that was a black layered skirt that hat a satin, elastic waistband, a layer of crinoline, and a top layer of crinoline with a flouce hem and crocheted lace with a satin ribbon in it. The top she held up was a black corset-style top with vertical black accent lines, black lace trim and front ribbon lace-up closure. She also bought boots that were non-leather with a rear lace-up and a 3" heel and a side zip closure.

"That's really cute," Angel smiled. She smiled as she opened up her bag and grabbed her black skirt that had pink contrast stitching, a double ruffle hem and an elastic waistband with a matching top. She also grabbed her tall black boot with a double-sided lace-up corset design, front zip-up closure with a 4" heel. Along with that, she pulled out black pants have a glow in the dark seam, glowing O-Rings, front, back and cargo pockets and a front zip and button fly and a black halter top that had a satin bust area and a neck tie, and had a solid black body.
"I'm wearing this and the skirt to the concert," Angel smiled.
"Sweet! That's a good choice. I'm wearing this,"

Kiera smiled, holding up a corset with red front and back panels with decorate flowers, a front hook, black lace accents and trims, and a zipper in the back with black pants with a red stitching, cargo pockets, and removeable straps and D-ring accents with crisscross belt loops that had a lower leg zip-off. Her shoes were black suede creepers with a 2" platform to them.
"I love that! You're going to look SO hot in that!" Angel smiled.
"Thank you, thank you," Kiera giggled.
"Hey...can I stay here tonight?" Angel asked.
"You know my parents don't care if you stay here," Kiera said.

Angel nodded and wrapped her arms around her best friend. Kiera sighed and ran her fingers through Angel's hair.

"Let's pop in a movie, eat popcorn and fall asleep," Kiera said, knowing it was exactly what Angel needed.

Angel ended up staying at Kiera's house for that entire week.
Chapter 2 by babybunny
It was the day of the concert and the girls were thrilled. They dressed up and headed out to the venue to be there early. They were on the road by 10am. They brought every single BSB CD they owned and bounced around in the car, high on caffeine, singing to them. They were in the best of moods and nothing could bring them down. They were in the nicest car around which was Kiera's midnight blue 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix that had a sexy sun/moon roof. Angel looked up at the sky through the opened sun roof and noticed that it was a gorgeous day out with not a single cloud in the sky.

"It's amazing out. I'm so fucking excited!" Angel exclaimed, ashing her cigarette outside Kiera's window. Kiera grabbed her pack of Marlboro Lights and took one out. She handed it to Angel indicating for her to light it for her, so she did. Kiera took the cigarette from Angel and took a drag off of it.

Arriving at the venue, the girls put out their 2nd cigarettes of the day and checked to see if they could somehow get in. It was 11:00 and no one was in the venue.

"Locked out. Hmmm...what to do?" Kiera said. They were the only ones there. The girls looked at each other and took their place in the very front of the line. Angel said she would sit while Kiera got their purses, cd player, cigarettes, lighters, and anything else they need. They knew they didn't need to be sitting there, but they also knew that with their luck, once they left and came back, there would be millions of people there. All they really needed was what they had there with them. Kiera laid out the blanket and the girls laid down, knowing they could stare up at the sky and relax. They shut their eyes and talked about how they thought the concert would go.

Silence.

An hour later, Angel woke up, and it was dark out.
"Kiera! Kiera wake up!" Angel exclaimed, shaking her best friend. Kiera woke up and her eyes widened.
"We're going to get fucked by nature if we don't go somewhere," Kiera said, feeling paranoid and scared at the same time.
"What are we going to do? It's already starting to rain!" Angel exclaimed. "An umbrella isn't going to do shit for us right now!"
"I know that! What the fuck are we going to do? Everything is going to get wet!" Kiera exclaimed.
"Okay, take everything electronic to the car and grab the tarp that's in your trunk. I have an idea," Angel said. "Hurry!"

Kiera nodded her head and ran to her car, taking the things that could possibly electrecute them to the car. She grabbed the tarp and ran back to Angel, locking the car and sticking the keys in her pocket. Angel motioned for Kiera to sit beside her and they pulled the tarp over them.

"This is probably the stupidest idea you've ever come up with, Angel," Kiera said.
"Shut up! It will work!" Angel said. Angel draped the tarp over them and they sat on the ends to keep it from flying up. Anything small, they shoved into their purses. Their purses laid on their laps and they were sitting indian style.

There was a rattle of thunder and the girls huddled close together, hugging each other tight, hearing the rain coming closer before it started to patter against the tarp.

For an hour and a half, it was nothing but thunder and lightening surrounding the girls. It was loud and they were both in tears by the time the storm had ended.

"I hate you, Angel. I honestly hate you," Kiera said.
"No, come in the rain with me," Angel said.
"Are you kidding?" Kiera asked.
"No, seriously. Get wet enough that our clothes are soaked. I have a plan," Angel said with a grin.

Angel escaped from the tarp, covering her things with it and ran in the pouring rain, wetting herself. She ran back to the tarp and Kiera did the same, standing in the rain with her hands by her sides, eyes shut, with her face looking up towards the sky. Angel looked at her keeping the tarp covering her.

She's beautiful. I just wish she would realize it, Angel thought to herself.

Kiera ran back to the tarp and dove in, sitting indian style.

"There, are you happy now?" Kiera asked, almost annoyed.
"Yes. What time is it?" Angel asked.
"Noonish or something," Kiera answered.
"Well, people won't start coming until the rain stops, which might not be for a while, so what I want you to do is to run and grab some lunch," Angel said, digging through her purse and pulling out $10.
"Okay, what do you want?" Kiera asked.
"I don't care. Anything. I'm starved," Angel said.
Kiera nodded, took the $10 and ran to the car. Wiping her face, she started her car and drove off in search of a food place.

Half an hour later, Kiera came back. There was a van parked on the side of the building. Shrugging, she parked the car in the same spot and ran back to Angel.

"All I could find was a McDonalds," Kiera said.
"That's fine. Chicken selects?" Angel asked. Kiera nodded and handed Angel her meal. They both dug in, and ate happily.
"You know, this isn't too bad considering now it's just raining," Kiera smiled, taking a bite of her burger.
"I know....And Kier?" Angel said, putting her food down.
"Hm?" Kier replied, her mouth full of fries and a bite of her burger.
"You're a pig," Angel cracked. Kiera widened her eyes, giggling and threw a french fry at her.
"I'm joking! That's not what I wanted to tell you. I just wanted to thank you for taking me, and actually putting up with me," Angel smiled.
Kiera swallowed. "Anytime, hun. I love you and you know that. You're my best friend and you always will be. We're meant to stick together through thick and thin."
"You're right," Angel smiled, shoving a piece of chicken into her mouth.
"Yeah, and you call me a pig," Kiera giggled.
An hour had passed and the girls were finished eating. It sounded like the rain was dying down, so Kiera took the tarp off of them and put it under the car tire to keep it from flying off.
"Kiera, it's still raining," Angel pointed out.
"No shit. I think I caught onto your plan," Kiera grinned.
"Smart one, aren't you?" Angel grinned, handing Kiera her purse. "Put everything in the car."
It was now 2:00 and the rain had completely stopped. The girls grabbed the cd player again and started to listen to their BSB cds again. "Siberia" blasted out from the CD player and the girls sang along.

"How come you don't try and send in a demo to record labels?" Kiera asked.
"Because I'm not good enough," Angel shrugged, singing.

Then My heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you, too.


"You're a liar," Kiera said.

Angel shrugged and continued singing.

With music still playing, Kiera was writing in her notebook and Angel was staring off into space. She noticed someone out of the corner of her eye, wearing all black.

"Security is starting to come," Angel said.
"Cool," Kiera replied. She was lost in thought as she doodled in her notebook.

Angel shrugged it off and continued to stare at the sky that was turning blue again. The girls were still soaked, but they didn't care. Everything important was dry.

Another security guard passed by.

Damn security! They ruin everything! Angel thought to herself.

Finally, around 2:30, people started to show up. The girls had been sitting there since 11am and only just then at 2:30 people started to arrive.

“We could have sat in the car, Angel,” Kiera said, annoyed.
“Shut up. With the plan I have, we won’t regret sitting out here,” Angel said with a grin.
“If you say so,” Kiera said, sighing.
“How long have you guys been here?” a fan that was sitting behind them asked.
“Since 11,” Angel replied.
“Wow! You sat here through that storm?” the fan asked.
“Our clothes are wet, aren’t they?” Kiera asked, suddenly feeling like a bitch for snapping at the girl.
“Well…yes,” the fan said.
“Well then there you go,” Kiera said.
“Kiera, be nice,” Angel said.
“Sorry…” she said, looking down. She grabbed her cigarettes, took one out and sparked it and Angel did the same.
“Do you feel better now?” Angel asked. Kiera nodded and took a drag of her cigarette.

A couple of hours later, everyone was there. It as an hour before the doors were going to open and Angel and Kiera were both exhausted and Angel had started chain smoking her cigarettes.

“Angel, stop smoking. You’re going to kill yourself,” Kiera said, taking her pack away from her.
“Sorry,” Angel said. She sighed and turned on the CD player, blasting “Just Want You to Know” and started singing. Soon, everyone else started singing and Kiera smiled at Angel because of what she had done. She was calming everyone’s nerves.

Finally, the security guards came to the line and told everyone that the doors were going to be opening and that everyone needed to form one line and wait patiently until they could get in. There was no pushing, no fighting, no signs, and no cameras allowed unless you were in the front row. Angel and Kiera smiled at each other. Both of the girls had been shivering, but they tried to ignore it. The doors opened and the girls walked inside, showed the ticket vendor their tickets and walked towards the door to their seats. They were smack in the front but towards the right in section 1 in the first row.

The girls put their things down and walked around the venue. It was filling quickly and the girls just could not stop smiling. They had the best seats in the house, at least to them, and they were excited.
Suddenly, they were stopped by a security guard and were told to follow. Angel grinned big and Kiera just looked confused.

“Were you the girls that were sitting outside since 11am?” the security guard asked.
“Yes,” Angel replied.
“What kind of car do you have?” he asked them.
“It’s a 2005 Grand Prix. It’s midnight blue,” Kiera replied.

The security guard smiled. “Well the boys were informed that you were sitting outside that long in the storm and they wanted us to give these to you.”
He handed them 2 Backstage Passes. Angel’s face lit up.
Holy shit! My plan worked! Angel thought to herself.
“Thank you so much,” Kiera smiled. She hugged the security guard and she didn’t even know the guy.
“Don’t thank me. Thank the boys. I was just the messenger,” he said to her. “I’ll take you back to your seats. Put those around your neck or something somehow attached to you closely.”
“Hey! Are these good throughout the entire show?” Angel asked. The security guard nodded with a wink and walked off towards his spot to cover. Kiera and Angel screamed in excitement and jumped up and down. When they realized what they were doing, they stopped and acted as if nothing had happened.

Once everyone was situated, and chanting "BACKSTREET BOYS!" is when it hit Angel and Kiera that they were going to be meeting the boys and that they were in front row. They were jumping up and down, acting like teenyboppers, and singing with the boys. It was 8:00 when they had started.

10:30 came around and the boys were doing their ending song.
"Thanks for coming tonight! California, we love you!" AJ screamed. The guys did their bows and said their goodbyes. Once the lights came back up, the security guard that had handed them the passes stood in front of them and whispered to Angel for them to stay seated until everyone was gone.

"You think no one is supposed to really know about it?" Kiera asked.
"I don't know, but I'm happy so I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks!" Angel replied with a laugh.

Almost everyone had cleared out and the security guard pushed aside the barrier and led the girls backstage. Angel and Kiera locked hands and walked backstage.

"Where are we going?" Kiera asked Angel.
"Good question," Angel replied.

They just shut up and followed the security guard silently. Their hearts were beating fast and they were trying to stay calm and act as if they didn't really care much. Impossible. They were taken outside and led to a bus.

"Well, there's the answer to your question," Angel smirked. Kiera nudged her as the doors to the bus opened. No one was seen and it was completely silent inside the bus. Angel looked at the security guard and he nodded with a smile, motioning for them to get on. Kiera pushed Angel forward and she stepped onto the bus, looking to her left to see down the inside.

It was nice inside the bus. There was a row of seats along the side and then bunks. Behind the bunks were curtains and it was unknown as to what was behind the curtains. There was a slight sound of music coming from the bus, but it looked as if no one was there.

Angel walked in and sat down on one of the seats and Kiera sat beside her, gripping her hand.
"Relax," Angel whispered to her. Kiera nodded and gripped her hand a little tighter.

Within a few minutes, they heard voices coming towards the bus. Kiera and Angel both felt their hearts begin to race. Angel bit her bottom lip as the first and closest voice to her she heard was AJs. He looked at her, laughing from cracking jokes on Nick, and then froze in his spot. He and she made eye contact before Nick pushed him aside.

"AJ! Move, damnit!" Nick said, shoving him. AJ stumbled to the side and collapsed into a seat. Nick looked at them, smiled, then trotted to the back of the bus to grab a Snickers bar. Howie followed after Nick and greeted them with open arms and kisses on the cheeks. Brian did the same.

As Kevin stepped onto the bus, he was yawning. He caught eyes with Kiera and stood with his mouth still open as if he was yawning.

"Are you catching flies?" Angel snickered.
He snapped back to reality. "What? No. Sorry! Hey girls."

After 15 minutes of AJ staring at Angel, he got up and went to the back of the bus. He met up with Kevin who was fixing something to drink in the little kitchen.

"Dude, I'm in love," AJ said.
"That's what you said when you saw Paula Abdul," Kevin snickered.
"No man! I'm dead serious!" AJ exclaimed. AJ and Kevin peeked their heads from behind the curtain and saw Brian and Howie talking to them while Nick stuffed his face with a King Size Snickers. Kevin and AJ walked back in and AJ sat silently, by himself.

"I just have one question," Kiera said.
"Oh no," Angel said, covering her face.
"What's what?" Kevin said, all ears.
"What the hell is that in Beautiful Woman?" Kiera asked.
"Which part?" Brian asked.
"B is for beautiful as the sunshine..." Angel started singing.
"It's one of those things where you actually have to think about it," Kiera said.
"Kier, no," Angel said, hoping she wouldn't say what she thought Kiera was about to say.
"I swear, Nick came up with it," Kiera snickered.
"Hey!! What are you trying to say?" Nick exclaimed, pouting.
"That you should have let you finish high school because you can't spell beautiful," Kiera snickered. The guys busted out in laughter. Angel closed her mouth, and shut her eyes, holding back laughter.
"That's not right," Nick said, shaking his head. "You're wrong for that."
"It's the truth, Nick," Brian chimed in.
"Shut up!" Nick exclaimed, opening up a bottle of Mountain Dew and gulping some down.
"So AJ...how are you doing? Are you glad you're touring again?" Angel asked, trying to be nonchalant.
"Yeah," he said.

I wonder why he's so unfriendly, Angel asked herself.

Kevin glanced over at AJ and made a face as if to tell him to be nice. Kevin had seen the disappointment in Angel's face. AJ sighed and gave in. He walked over and gave the girls hugs and kisses, making sure to get a sniff of Angel's hair.

God she smells good, he thought to himself, sitting down beside Kevin.

His eyes stayed locked on Angel.

He couldn't help but notice that her eyes drifted towards him as well. She knew she was looking at him and she also knew that he caught her every single time.

"So you girls really sat out in the rain?" Brian asked.
"Yes. It was horrible!" Kiera exclaimed.
"So why didn't you sit in the car?" Nick asked.

Silence.

Shit! I didn't come up with an answer for that! Angel thought to herself.

"I don't know," she finally said.
"She thought we would meet you easier if we did it," Kiera replied. Angel elbowed her.
"Ow! What?! It's true! You just wanted to get closer to AJ!" Kiera exclaimed. Angel elbowed her again.
"And you Kevin, so shut your mouth," Angel grunted.
"Really?" AJ asked almost too excitedly.
Angel smiled at him, blushing. "Yes."
"Cool," AJ smiled. He relaxed.
"So how old are you girls?" Howie asked.
"We're both 23," Kiera replied.

Kevin hid a smile.

"What are you grinning like that for?" Nick asked.
"Shut up, little man," Kevin said, glaring at him. Nick snickered and got up, walking to the back of the bus near the little kitchen area.
"Anyone want something to eat or drink?" he asked.
"Not if you make it," Kiera mumbled jokingly.
"Very funny," Nick said, rolling his eyes. They all laughed.
"I just want some water," Angel said. Kiera asked for the same. Nick grabbed them a bottle of water each and tossed it at them.
"Nice catch," AJ grinned, whispering to Angel. She blushed again with a smile on her face.
"You guys were awesome tonight," Kiera said.
"Thanks. Every night is different, so it's always a new experience," Brian said with a smile.
"Yeah I bet!" Kiera laughed.

They all talked and got to know each other more, laughing and jokingn around and having a good time. The girls said their goodnights and got off the bus. By the time they had left it was almost 1am. Kevin had given Kiera his number and she gave him hers and they promised to keep in touch. AJ flopped down onto the couch after Angel got off the bus.

"Did you get her number?" Kevin asked.
"What? No," AJ said. The bus engine started.
"Dude! Go get it!" Kevin said.
"Oh shit! Wait! Don't go anywhere!" AJ exclaimed, getting up and running off the bus.
"Angel!" he called. She turned around.
"Yea hun?" she asked. Kiera grinned and walked over to her car to leave them in peace.
"Goodnight AJ," she said before climbing into the drivers seat.
"Night," he said.
"What's up sweetie?" Angel asked. He took her hands in his.
"Is it possible that you and I can keep in touch? I mean I feel really stupid asking you this and we just met, but there's something about you that I really like and I think that we could keep in touch and get to know each other and I'm talking too much," AJ said without taking a breath.
Angel let out a slight laugh. "Definitely."
She took out a piece of paper from her purse and put down her number and put a little note and then folded the paper.
"Read it on the bus," she smiled.
"Alright. Thanks!" he smiled. He hugged her one last time, taking in her scent and then pulling back, kissing her on the cheek. She smiled, looked him in the eyes and leaned over to peck his lips.

"Goodnight Alex," she smiled. She turned around and got into the car. AJ was stuck with a shocked look on his face. He smiled and walked to the bus. He had a look of shock and happiness mixed into one on his face.

"What are you looking so goofy about, Grizzly?" Nick asked.
"Nothing," AJ replied, walking back to his bunk where he would sleep. The guys piled off the bus and went to their own buses. AJ crawled into his bunk and just stared up at the empty ceiling. He grabbed his cell phone and dialed Kevin.

"Bro, do we have a couple days off?" AJ asked.
"Yeah, I think we do. Why?" Kevin replied.
"I'm going to try and meet up with Angel," AJ said, speaking quickly.
"Awesome. Dude what happened tonight? You were stuck!" Kevin asked.
"She kissed me," AJ said, feeling his face getting hot.
"She did?! Did you kiss her back?" Kevin asked.
"I don't know..." AJ said, thinking of the kiss again.

--The Girls--

"YOU DID IT ANGEL! YOU KISSED AJ MCLEAN!" Kiera exclaimed.
"I know!!! He kissed me back, too! Oh my God what I would DO to that man!" Angel exclaimed, bouncing around the front seat.
"Kevin asked for my number," Kiera smiled.
"You gave it to him right?" Angel asked.
"Of course!" Kiera giggled. "I thought it was so cute how it happened, too. He was all nervous and shit."
"I know! I saw! I think we are the luckiest people alive right now," Angel said with a smile. "I wonder what they are doing right now."

--The Boys--

AJ hung up his phone and laid back in his bed. He tucked his hands underneath his head and glanced at his cell phone.

Nah. She just left. I'm not going to call her.

He knew he wanted to hear her again. There was something about her that he couldn't put his finger on, but he was in love with her. It almost scared him, too. He had never fallen in love at first sight, so it was new to him.

I will sleep on it. See how I feel in the morning.
Chapter 3 by babybunny
--The Girls--

It was morning, and Angel woke up to her phone ringing loudly against her ear. It was resting on the pillow beside her head, charging, as usual. She didn't want to turn it off just in case she got an "important" phone call.

"Are you bleeding?" She asked, still half asleep.
"Hey beautiful," a raspy voice said on the other end.
"Alex?" she asked, waking up a little more. Kiera woke up to her voice and leaned against her bed, anxious as to who was calling them at noon.
"The one and only," he said. She could hear a smile form against his lips.
"Hey! I didn't think you would call," she said, smiling big.
"Of course I would call. What do you take me for? A one night kisser?" AJ asked.
"Very funny!" Angel laughed.
"Can I see you today?" AJ asked, putting all jokes aside.
"Um..." Angel said, looking at Kiera as if to get an answer from her. Kiera nodded fiercly. "Yes."
"When?" AJ asked, trying to hide the excitement in his voice.
"Umm...give me a couple hours to wake up and get ready?" Angel asked.
"Ask about Kevin!" Kiera whispered.
"Kiera wants to know if you can bring Kevin," Angel said.
"Yeah. He's still in his bus, but we can both come," AJ said.
"Cool! We'll BBQ outside my house!" Angel smiled.
"Sounds great. I'll run it to Kevin. I need your address," AJ said.
"It's 4546 Woodland Creek Road," Angel said.
"We'll be there...let's say 4:00?" AJ asked.
"Perfect. Bring a bathingsuit!" Angel smiled, giving Kiera a nod.
"Alright. I'll see you at 4:00 then sweetheart," AJ smiled.
"I can't wait," Angel flirted. They hung up.
"OH MY GOD!" Kiera screamed, jumping up and down like a fool, holding Angel's hands as they jumped.

The girls immediately got up, showered up and ate in order to be ready by the time the doorbell rang. They wanted to be ready and looking hot for the boys. Angel was wearing a tight black top and a tight, short blue jean skirt and black flipflops. Kiera was wearing a red tanktop, a short black leather skirt and black flipflops. Kiera put on light make up and Angel went without. The girls knew they needed 3 hours to get ready and an hour to have breakfast. By the time it was 4:00pm, they were starving and ready for fun. They both had bikinis on underneath their clothes.

It was 4:05 and the guys still weren't at the house. The girls were in the back of the house laying on lawn chairs, talking, smoking their cigarettes and listening to music.
"Hello?!" A loud voice called from the front of the house. The girls jumped up and ran to the door. Angel flung open the door, only to see AJ and Kevin standing in front of them, looking sexy as ever. AJ was in baggyish jeans with a white wife beater and a black button-up holding a couple of roses.
"These are for you," AJ said with a slight smile, handing them to Angel.
"Aw thanks baby!" She smiled, taking them and inviting them inside. She put the roses in water and hugged AJ tightly.
Kevin in the mean time had gotten a single white rose for Kiera. He looked nice as he was dressed in khakis with a black tanktop and a blue silk button up shirt over it. He handed Kiera the rose and kissed her cheek. She smiled and the girls led them outside to the pool and BBQ. Kiera grinned and handed Kevin an apron.
"Here. Do the Krystle 'Supergirl' video all over again," she snickered.
"Very funny," he said, shooting her a grin.
"I'll help you out," she said with a flirtacious grin. Kevin wiggled his eyebrows at her and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close to him. She took in his cologne and smiled. She grabbed the meat off of the bench and handed it to Kevin to watch him do his thing with the cooking. Kiera looked over and AJ and Angel and they were just laughing and talking and to her, it looked like they were getting to know each other.

Half an hour later, Kevin hollered to AJ and Angel that the food was ready. They got up smiling and walked over to the table, sat down and they all passed around food.
"This is really good, Kev! I'm surprised," Angel said, chewing on a hamburger.
"Thanks," he said with a smile, taking a bite of his own burger.
"BBQ fries anyone?" Kiera asked.
"Oh no! You made them? No thanks," Angel cracked. AJ snickered while he chewed his food.
"Hang on, I have sodas in the house. I'll be back," Angel said, putting her burger down and getting up.
"I'll help," AJ said, putting his down as well and getting up with her. She smiled at him and they walked into the house. AJ followed her into the kitchen and couldn't help but stare at her butt once or twice. He licked his lips and grinned behind her as she opened up the refrigerator. There were three bottles of soda laying down on the bottom of the fridge and Angel grabbed one handing it to AJ and then grabbed the other two for her.
"What are you doing?" AJ asked.
"Taking the sodas outside?" Angel said with a little confusion in her voice. AJ grabbed the cups off of the counter and stood there staring at her. He dropped the cups.
"I got that," they sait in unison, bending down and bumping heads.
"Ow! Sorry," Angel said, her face turning red. AJ smiled and leaned in, kissing her lips. She hesitated to kiss him, but then gave in to his sweet lips, kissing him back. Pulling back, AJs face was red.
"Come on," she smiled. AJ stopped her again and shook his head.
"Give me those," he said, taking the bottles from her. He was carrying three 2 liter bottles of coda and cups in the other hand.
"Well then give me those," she said, snatching the cups from his hand with a smile on her face. He smiled and nodded for the door and they walked outside, both with goofy smiles on their face.
"You two are rather smilish aren't you?" Kiera said with a grin.
"Funny," Angel said sarcastically. They sat down and opened one of the sodas. Sprite, Coke, and Root Beer.

Two hours had passed and they all joked around, laughed and had fun while eating their dinner. They had all moved to the lawn chairs that Angel had set up by the pool.
"Who wants to go swimming?" Angel asked.
"I do!" AJ said with a smile.
"So get into your trunks. There's a bathroom right inside the door to your right," Kiera said to both Kevin and AJ. They nodded their heads and grabbed their swimming trunks from the lawn chair. They walked inside and two minutes later they both emerged from the house. Angel and Kiera were just stripping out of their clothes. Angel was lifting her shirt over her head and AJ watched her body move as she did.

She is so beautiful, he thought to himself.

"Come on guys! Are you getting in or what?" Angel asked, waving them over. She tugged her skirt down and walked over to AJ in her little black bikini. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled. He scooped her up into his arms and ran over to the pool.
"AJ NO!" Angel screamed. Kiera and Kevin laughed as AJ tossed Angel into the pool and dove in after her. Kevin laughed and he and Kiera sat on the steps of the pool, chest high in the water. Kevin leaned in and kissed Kiera on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Kiera asked.
"Just because I can," he said with a smile. She was caught by his green eyes. He opened his arm to her and she leaned against him, pecking his neck with her lips.

Angel's pool was shaped kind of like a bean. The dip wasnt as deep, but it had the same sort of shape. The deepend was 8 feet and the shallow end was 3 feet. By the deep end, on both sides of the pool, there was a ledge you could sit on that led closer to the farthest end of the pool. It made the water come to your neck and you could sit there and be comfortable. Angel swam over to that ledge and sat down as AJ put his knees on either side of her, facing her.

"Thanks for inviting us here, Angel," he said to her, bringing his lips close to hers. She smiled, wishing she could melt in his arms.
"You're welcome," she smiled. He leaned down and kissed her lips again, this time kissing her more sweetly. He cupped one side of her face in his hand to deepen the kiss a little bit more. Angel brought her hands to AJs back and lightly traced her nails along his skin. He shivered and pulled back from her, smiling.
"AJ...I don't want this to happen today and then we never see each other again," she said, looking down at the water beneath her.
"I won't let us not see each other again. I will make it a point to see you as much as I can," AJ said. "If I have to, I will take you on tour with me."
"Really?" Angel asked, trying not to sound too hopeful.
"Yes," he said, running his fingers down her arms, stopping at her wrist. He caught her wrist in his hand and looked at it. "Angel."
"It's nothing AJ. I scratched myself," Angel said, pulling her arm away from him.
"Angel, please. What's going on? Sure you don't know me well, but what is all of this?" he asked with more concern in his voice than Angel had ever heard in someone other than Kiera.
"I'm just depressed, AJ. It's nothing serious," she said, holding her wrist in her hand.
"Why?" AJ asked.
"I'm lonely and I hate it. I've always been lonely. My father beat me as I was growing up and my mom left us," she said. AJ took her wrist in his hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it lightly. She winced lightly and then smiled.
"I'm going to fix you, Angel," he whispered to her before kissing her lips again.
"Thank you," she whispered, half to AJ and half to God.

Kevin and Kiera were watching the two of them. Kiera knew exactly what had happened.
"Is she okay?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah, she's alright. At least now she is. AJ just found the cut on her wrist that she had done a little over a week ago," Kiera replied.
"She cuts herself?" Kevin asked.
"She hasn't for a while. She just kind of cracked. Angel has had a really rough life as she was growing up," Kiera said. "You will learn this as you go."
"I see that. When do I get to learn about you?" he asked, grinning at her.
"Whenever you want," she smiled. He kissed her lips. Surprised, she pulled back.
"Sorry," he said, his face turning red.
"No, it's okay. It just surprised me," she said. It was silent between the two. She smiled and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his toned body and pulling him closer to her.

The sun was slowly starting to go down and it was starting to get chilly out. Angel had gotten them all towels to dry off on and they took their clothes and went inside Angel's house. They followed her into her finished basement and she flipped on the TV and told them to find something to watch and that she was going to shower.
She walked upstairs to her bathroom and quickly stripped off her damp bikini. In ways, she knew she secretly wanted AJ to join her in the shower, but she wiped the thought clean of her head.

"Hey Kiera, where can I find another bathroom?" AJ asked.
"Upstairs, take a right, then go down the hall and it's the second door on your left," Kiera replied. AJ nodded as if to thank her and got up, going upstairs. Quietly, he snooped around until he found the staircase going upstairs to the upper level of the house. He heard the shower running and he quietly walked into Angel's room. He dropped his towel on the floor, still in his damp swim trunks. The door was cracked open and he smiled as he heard her humming "I Still" as she showered. He snuck inside the bathroom and stood at the door, facing her. He saw her silhouette in the door to the shower and he froze in his spot. Grinning, he started singing with her.

"Oh my God!" she shrieked, covering herself and facing him.
"It's just me. Relax," he said with a grin. "Can I join you?"
Angel faced the wall, hiding a grin. "Sure." She pushed open the door, uncovering herself from AJ. He grinned at her and stepped inside the shower with her. He looked her up and down and noticed that her face was turning red. Walking to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. Smiling she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. She tilted her head and their lips met once again. Tracing her nails down his spine, she reached the top of his trunks and lightly tugged them down. He looked her in the eyes and grinned at her, tepping closer to her, lightly pushing her against the wall. He put one hand on the wall and the other on her waist, and he kissed her neck as the hot water beat against his back. Her nails traced his spine once more before she placed her own lips on top of his, allowing her tongue to dance with his in perfect rhythm.

Grinning evilly, AJ grabbed the Dove soap that was sitting on the side of the shower on a shelf and squeezed some onto a loofah. He knelt in front of her and covered her body in bubbles of soap. Taking the showerhead off of the hook and watered down her body, running his hand over her body to completely wash the soap off, then kissing the clean spots. Angel looked down at AJ with a smile then brought him up by his chin to meet her lips.
"You are so unbelieveably sexy," she whispered to him. He grinned, kissed her once more, and then left the shower. Angel stood with her jaw dropped. Growling at him through the door, she saw him pick up a towel and dry himself off, putting his trunks back on and leaving the bathroom with a grin on his face the entire time. Angel could not help but check out his ass and how cute it was.

He's pretty packaged, too, she giggled to herself.

Stepping out of the shower, she grabbed her robe and wrapped it around her body. Walking into her room, she grabbed her PJs and put them on and threw her hair up into a dry towel. Walking down the steps, she was humming lightly. She went down to the basement where everyone else was and they were joking around.

"Well hello guys," she said with a smile. AJ got up and greeted her with a kiss. "Hello to you too."
"Well you two seem to be getting pretty close," Kiera said, grinning at Angel.
"Don't even start," Angel said, sitting down on the couch. AJ sat beside her puttingan arm around her and pulling her close. He glanced down and saw down her robe.
"AJ, you're such a horndog bro!" Kevin said, catching AJ in the act.
"I didn't do anything," AJ said, defending himself.
"Whatever bro," Kevin said with a grin on his face. AJ rolled his eyes at Kevin and pulled Angel closer to him, lightly pecking her neck and sliding his hand onto her naked thigh.
"AJ, stop!" she whispered to him. All he could do was grin at her.
"The shower was just a tease," he grinned to her, whispering in her ear before lightly nipping at her earlobe.
"Come back tomorrow," she whispered to him with a flirtacious grin on her face.

If only she knew what that grin does to me, he thought.

Angel had gotten up and dressed and a few hours later it was time for the boys to leave. They didn't have to, but it was more appropriate. They said their goodbyes and promised to see each other again. They exchanged hugs and kisses and felt it hard to break away from each other.
