The next day Jojo drove me over to the place the bus was departing from. Everyone else from the club came too. I called Sarah the night before to tell her that I wasn’t going to be there and to take care of my dog, Sandy. She said ‘good luck.’ There were also a bunch of fans with us. While we were sitting in the abandoned parking lot, Hannie suddenly looked worried.

“D, who’s gonna run the meetings while you’re gone?” Hannie asked.

“Either you or Tic,” I answered.

“Carrie, c’mere!” Hannie yelled.

“Huh?” Carrie asked when she came over.

“Will you run the meetings while D is gone?” Hannie asked.

“Don’t you want to,” Carrie returned, “you’re Vice.”

Hannie shook her head then answered, “It should be a BSB fan, it’ll make things less weird around here.”

I nodded.

“You mean you want me?” Carrie asked.

“Yeah Tic, better keep good order while I’m gone,” I joked.

“Thanks Tac, you’re the best,” Carrie told me.

“Hey D, before you go,” Hannie asked, “where’d you get the cross?”

“Nick gave it to me cuz he thought I wasn’t coming,” I answered.

“Sure fooled him,” Carrie replied.

Then we laughed.

As we were laughing, two limos drove up to where the bus was.

“Wow, look at all these fans!” Nick exclaimed.

“Never thought there’d be so many,” Brian agreed.

“I bet D decided not to come…” Nick started.

“Wait, look there’s Carrie!” Brian exclaimed, after he stuck his head out the window.

“Couldn’t be,” Nick replied.

“Hey D!” Cassie called as she ran over.

“What?” I asked.

“The first limo is the one you’re after, left side, your right,” Cassie answered.

I nodded and then ran over to the limo.

I was standing there with the bag, I was keeping with me. I left it slightly open, but only on accident. Nick then opened the door and my bag fell on the floor and a whole bunch of stuff came out.

“Oh here, let me help you,” Nick said and bent down to pick up my stuff.

I bent down to pick it up as well, but when I did the cross fell off and on to the floor. Nick saw it and picked it up.

“Where did you get this,” he asked, “I gave this to…”

Nick then looked up and saw that I was right there in front of him.

“Surprise,” I said.

“D, are you, are you…” Nick asked.

I smiled and nodded my head.

Nick then gave me a hug, I knew he was very happy. After Nick finished hugging me, he put the cross around my neck again and helped me finish picking up my stuff. After we finished, Nick took me over to the other guys.

“Look who’s coming with us!” Nick exclaimed.

Brian smiled and gave me a hug, “Better start getting to know you now, might have to end up being a best man sometime soon for my buddy here.”

Brian then punched Nick on the arm and Nick smiled shyly.

Kevin and Howie smiled.

“Guess I’d better start referring to you as Deanna, instead of ‘the club girl’,” AJ told me and gave me a hug.

“So you guys actually want me to come?” I asked.

“Yeah,” Howie answered.

“You will not believe how much Nick talked about how you weren’t coming last night,” Kevin agreed, “you are very welcomed with us.”

“So that’s the only reason you want her to come Kevin?” Nick asked.

“No, we like you D, you’re great,” Kevin told me.

I smiled.

Then Brian jumped back.

“What’s wrong Bri?” Nick asked.

“News crews!” Brian exclaimed.

“Bus time!” Howie agreed.

The guys headed for the limos to get their suitcases, and I went over to Carrie.

“We’re gonna leave now,” I told Carrie.

“I’ll miss you Tac,” Carrie told me.

“I’ll miss you too,” I agreed.

I could see that Carrie was starting to cry.

“Wait Tic, here,” I told her and handed her my BSB cap.

“What’s this for?” Carrie asked.

“I want you to take care of it for me,” I told her.

Carrie nodded then said, “I will.”

Then Carrie and I hugged until Nick came over, then I left with Nick.

As we got on the bus I turned and waved to all my friends, and they waved back. Kevin, Howie, and AJ danced on to the bus while Brian, Nick, and I walked on.

After we got on the bus the other three kept dancing.

“Why are you guys dancing?” I finally asked

“The news says this is the biggest fan turn out that’s ever happened,” Brian answered.

“Beating out the previous record held by NSYNC,” AJ told me with a smug look on his face.

I laughed.

We then turned out the windows to wave. I think Mikka and Phanny saw us cuz they started waving back.

“Look there’s Mikka!” Howie pointed out.

“And Phanny!” AJ exclaimed.

Then they started jumping up and down and waving back.

After AJ and Howie waved, Mikka and Phanny started jumping up and down hugging each other.

“Ooh Howie likes Mikka!” Nick yelled out the window teasingly.

Then Howie blushed.

“Please don’t tell me we’re going to go through this again,” Brian said.

Then we all laughed.

And so we embarked on the US tour, well the guys finished it, but I embarked on it. In the beginning of the tour I thought it was going to be just another tour, like many of the others I have seen in the past, but this one was different. In this tour for Black & Blue I found not only the love of my life, but myself too and that means more to me than anyone will ever know.

I don’t remember much of the tour, since it all went by so fast. I don’t remember much about coming to Cali either, well except one thing. I remember walking up to the Carter household steps, with Nick holding my hand. Then Nick rang the bell and his mom answered. I was then welcomed into the Carter’s sunny, Californian home. And I remember that I was smiling.
