CHAPTER 13 – ON TOUR AGAIN


~THE NEXT MORNING~

“What?” Brian exclaimed as Bianca told him and Arora the news
“We’re getting married” Bianca smiled, overcome with excitement as she latched onto Nicks arm
“Wow, god, I'm so happy for you” Arora resounded hugging Bianca
“Something must be wrong in this universe, I mean first AJ then you. Congrats you guys” Brian laughed hugging Nick, then Bianca.
“Speaking of AJ, where’s Chas? I thought she was going to meet us here?” Bianca inquired looking around the reception area.
The girls were to meet management there, to discuss what they would do next. Arora, who had been to the hospital earlier, was now hobbling around on crutches a cast around most of her thin leg.
“I dunno, she’s not usually late” Arora replied
As the words came from her mouth she stormed through the front glass doors, her hair looking barely brushed, her eyes tired and red, her expression one of mixed anger and pain.
“Gee don’t look so happy” Bianca mocked as Chastity walked up to them
“I'm here aren’t I? No one said I had to look happy” Chastity muttered
“Well, I'm not let you spoiling MY mood, I have some good news. Nick and I are getting married” Bianca announced smiling brightly
“Married? Huh, what a crock of shit” Chastity laughed coldly
“Chastity, please let me explain” AJ pleaded walking into the lobby
“Oh God, will you FUCK off, what do I have to do to get rid of you? File a bloody restraining order?” Chastity screamed, her anger getting the better of her
“Chas, you gotta let me explain, can we go somewhere private please?”
“Nup, don’t see why everyone in here shouldn’t know that you’re a lying creep”
“Chas, you wanna calm down a bit?” Bianca muttered noticing all eyes were turned to them
“No I don’t want to calm down, I think you’d pretty much feel the same way I do if you know that you supposed HUSBAND was actually married to his EX-GIRLFRIEND” Chastity spat staring directly at AJ
Mouths gaped as the words came flying out of her mouth.
“I don’t need this bull” she added storming back out of the building
Everyone was silent, slowly studding AJ as he stood in shock.
“What is she on about man?” Nick inquired
“A mistake I made a long time ago, that I'm paying for now” AJ announced before also running out of the building.

“Ah girls, follow me” a manager sheepishly said as noise slowly returned to the office
Arora and Bianca followed the guy down the hall, leaving Nick and Brian in reception. They followed him into an office where Mike and another older guy, one of the directors of the company sat.

“Um I don’t think Chas will be ah, joining us” Arora said hobbling across to one of the chairs
“Yes, we all heard that from in here” Mike coughed
“So what's it gonna be? You’ll have to push the tour back” Bianca insisted
“Nope, we’re not going to do that Bianca, instead you will all go on a brief publicity tour, no performances, or at least none for Arora, now that is going to screw things over with some people, so we’re in one month, putting you on a proper tour, but there is one catch”
“And that would be?”
“You’re going as a supporting act”
“Why? We have the experience to support ourselves” Bianca whined
“You’ve been out of the game for a year girls, and you and I both know that it is hard work, and you’re gonna have to come in as if you’ve never been in the spotlight”
“You said we were past that” Arora reminded
“It’s already been set”
“Who are we with?”
“A group you know well”
“Really? And who would that be?” Bianca questioned skeptically
“Nsync” the manger announced proudly
“What? Oh hell no” Bianca announced “Na uh, no”
“I'm with Bianca, we don’t exactly get along with them” Arora continued
“We’ll then you’re gonna start, one month girls. Arora you’ll be on constant rehabilitation for you ankle and leg, the doctors have told us that is you try you should be up and back to normal in no time. That’s all girls, you leave in a week for the promo tour, then one month after that, you’re back on tour”

Arora and Bianca, knowing arguing would do no good, hurriedly got up and left.
“I do not believe this” Bianca murmured as they walked back down the hall
“This is gonna be one hellish year” Arora sighed

“So what did they say?” Nick inquired as Bianca wrapped her arms around him
“They told us we’re going on tour” Bianca sighed
“That’s good right?” Brian laughed
“Only if you like Nshit” Arora mumbled
“What?” Nick stammered
“We’re going on tour, in one month with Nsync” Bianca cried
“What about your leg?” Brian inquired as Arora propped herself up against him
“I gotta do some rehabilitation on it, they seem to think I’ll be okay in a month”
“That’s physco, they cant surely expect you to get straight back out there”
“Well they do, so I gotta”

“Fuck off McLean, I don’t want to talk to you” Chastity screamed from the car park
“Oh great” Bianca sighed running outside, the others following

“Come on Chas, you need to hear me out” AJ pleaded
“No I don’t, I don’t have to do anything”
“Chas, please”
“AJ, please, FUCK OFF”

The figure in the buses smiled to himself, not only would this be good information, but with the camera in his hands, he could sell what he was seeing to the papers – it would seem following them around would not only accomplish one goal, but may in fact also make him a fair bit of money.

“You don’t get it do you AJ, you are a lying pathetic excuse for a man and I don’t want to see or hear from you ever again” she screamed finally taking the ring from her finger and casting it disgustingly onto the car park
“I hate you so much” she cried running inside the building

“Chas” AJ pleaded stooping down to pick up the ring
“Leave her man, just leave her” Brian said softly

“Hey Girls” Justin smirked stepping out of his Porsche convertible “heard the great news yet?” he winked
“Blow me” Bianca muttered eyeing him down with an evil glare
“Whatever” Justin laughed pushing past Nick and walking into the foyer

“He is such an arrogant Prick” Bianca announced
“Come on Ro, we gotta get going” she added tugging on Arora’s arm
“Where are you going?” Nick inquired
“Shopping” Bianca grinned “Arora’s gonna be my maid of honor you know” she winked
Nick smiled crookedly as Bianca and Arora ventured over to the car.
