A BSB Fan's Dream Come True Chapter 29 "Can I take your order please?" the McDonalds employee asked Emilie and Ariale, as they stood at the counter at their favourite restaurant with Britney. They had decided to go out for a quick shopping excursion before the show that night. "Sure, I'll have a six piece please," Emilie ordered. "With a Diet Coke!" "Your trademark drink eh Em?" Ariale teased her and Emilie smiled. "I'm have a quarter ponder and small fries please." "I'll have a Big Mac," Britney told her, and within two minutes they had their order. "I like Boston," Emilie commented, as they sat down in a booth. She looked up, as she heard a familiar voice. She turned to see Oceane, sitting with her boyfriend Pat. They were whispering in each other's ears, as Oceane wiped a swipe of ketchup off Pat’s' mouth. She then butterflied kissed it. "It's Oceane!" Ariale exclaimed. "Hey Oceane!" Oceane turned to slowly, and her eyes lit up when she saw her two high school buddies. "Hi!" Oceane shrieked, and she ran over to them. "What are you doing in Boston?" "BSB concert tonight," replied Emilie. "How are you? How's Pat?" "Sexy as ever!" Oceane answered cattily. "Hi Britney." "Hey," Britney answered with a smile. "How are you?" "Good!" Oceane answered. "Hey Pat! Come meet my friends." "Hey ladies!" Pat winked at them, as his eyes fell on Britney. "Aren't you Britney Spears?" "The one and only," Britney answered, sipping her soda. "Oceane, I never knew your were friends with Britney Spears," Pat commented, as excitement gleamed in his brown eyes. "I'm not," Oceane answered simply. "These are my buds Ariale and Emilie from high school, and Emilie is dating Nick from the Backstreet Boys and they are on tour with them right now." "Oh," Pat replied smiling. "Interesting." "Anyway, what are you two up to?" Emilie asked Pat and Oceane. "Well, we have been living together for about a month now," Oceane answered, as Pat wrapped his arm around her waist, as Pat cell phone rang. He excused himself and went to take the call. "You know, ever since I was accepted at Harvard." "You're going to Harvard?" Emilie asked her amazed. "I thought you were just living in Boston for a while." "Well, I decided to go there!" Oceane replied, as a harried-looking Pat, rejoined them. "Oceane, I gotta go to the station because they need me to cover one of the shirts at WKIO," replied Pat. "Talk to ya later sweetheart. Nice meeting you all!" He kissed her on the lips and headed outside towards his car. "He's cute Oceane!" Ariale commented and Oceane smiled. "Sit down. Join us for some formal dining!" "Okay," Oceane agreed, as Britney caught sight of Oceane's beautiful sapphire ring. "Wow, what a beautiful ring!" Britney breathed. "Did Russ give it to you?" "Yeah! We're engaged!" Oceane announced proudly and everyone looked at her in complete shock. "When? Where?" Emilie asked exasperated. "Want to know the whole story?" Oceane asked them, and they all nodded. "Well, we went to the coast one day, and we were walking along the beach, as the waves crashed in. It was the evening and I guess we were both feeling pretty romantic..." "Oh, how sweet!" Britney commented smiling. "Anyway, he gave me one of those sea conchs, you know the ones you blow in or something?" Oceane continued. "Oh, like the one from the Lord of the Flies?" Ariale suggested and Oceane nodded. "Yeah! Anyway, he gave it to me, and I turned it over, and out dropped the ring," Oceane answered, as stars began forming in her brown eyes. "He grows onto one knee, and I see tears forming in his eyes! You have to understand, Pat never cries..." "Go on! The good part!" breathed Emilie. "Okay, so he was on one knee and looks into my eyes, and says, 'Oceane, I have never met anyone in life that has made me feel the way you make me feel. The first time we talked-I knew! I knew you were the one I would love forever. Would you let me have your heart, soul, and love forever? Will you marry me?' And I said yes of course and we danced under the stars to "I've Never Found Someone Like You'," Oceane explained and they all sighed happily. Oceane had tears in her eyes again. "I'm so happy for you!" Emilie cried and Oceane smiled. "Have you made any plans? When's the wedding?" "We're going to wait for a few years," Oceane replied, smiling. "Anyway, has Nick asked you to marry him yet?" "Yeah right!" Emilie laughed. "There is no way that is going to happen for a while." "Come on Em!" Ariale teased her. "You have been together for ten months." "Ari, we are still young," Emilie challenged her, and looked away. The idea of being considering marriage at 19 was scary idea all in itself. "Anyway, where are the guys now?" Oceane asked them. "I miss them all. How's AJ?" "He's great!" replied Ariale smiling. "We went to the movies together, last night." "That's great Ariale," Oceane smiling brightly. "I am very glad for you. Anyway, how about you Britney?" "No guys in my life!" Britney answered, smiling. "Well girls, we'd better go because it's three o'clock and I have a radio interview with some radio station in Boston." "Which station?" Oceane asked. "Pat is a DJ." "WTRY, I think," answered Britney. "We'd better go! Are you coming to the concert tonight Oceane?" "I would like to," Oceane answered. "Maybe Pat and I could go. I am sure he can get me some tickets." "Well, give me a call Oceane, and will get ya some tickets!" Emilie promised her. She handed her Nick's cell phone number, and they waved goodbye to each other. Britney, Ariale, and Emilie got into the rented car that Emilie had rented, and they headed back to the hotel. They arrived, as they saw JC and Joey walk into the motel. "Hello ladies!" Joey commented. "How was your shopping trip?" "Very relaxing!" Britney answered. "We ran into their friend Oceane." "Really?" Joey asked and they nodded. "How is she?" "Really good," Emilie replied. "So, what have you two been up to?" "Just working out and trying to find some fly girls, but they all seem to be hiding from us or something," Joey cracked and Emilie laughed. "Right JC?" "Yeah," JC nodded, forcing a smile. "I gotta go. See you at the concert. Bye." "Bye," Britney said brightly. "So, Joey, how about you be a gentlemen and have us with our bags?" "I'm okay," Emilie replied. "Thanks anyway, but I think I can handle one CD." "Which CD?" Joey asked, as he took Britney's shopping bags. "The new B*Witched CD," replied Emilie. "I think they are really cool." "They opened for us!" Britney said. "They are really nice." "Yeah, I love their single," commented Emilie, with a big smile. "Anyway, hmm..how come there are no fans around?" "As I said, they're all hiding from me," Joey winked at her and she smiled. "Anyway, I think I'm going to go take a nap," Ariale commented. "I am tired all of a sudden." "Late night again?" Joey teased her and she smiled. "Yeah!" she answered yawning. "Bye guys." She walked out of the lobby and up to her motel room. "Come on Joey!" Britney informed him. "We have to get these clothes up to my motel room. Bye Em. See ya later!" "Yeah, bye guys! Hope your arm doesn't fall off Joey!' Emilie cracked and Britney rolled her eyes, but a smile creased her lips. Emilie walked towards the restaurant to see if any of the guys were in there. She looked in to see Nick sitting with an unfamiliar girl. They seemed to be enjoying each other's company and she knew better to make conclusions of the potential innocent situation. She decided to creep closer to see if she could hear what they were saying. "Em and I have been together for a while Eloisa," Nick said softly. "I really love her." "Don't you love me though Nick?" Eloisa asked him. Emilie glared at the beautiful blond haired girl through the tree. "Eloisa, I am so confused!" Nick replied, shaking his head. "I mean, Em and I.I love her, but I am really starting to like you." "Nick, I know your heart is telling you to stay with Emilie, but you gotta do what your heart really feels," Eloisa said soothingly, which made Emilie gasp loudly. The tree she was hiding behind crashed to the floor, as tears formed in her eyes. "Emilie? What are you doing?" Nick asked her nervously. "Nick, how could you..." Emilie sobbed. "I can't believe you! This morning you are telling me you love me and then you are cheating behind my back! I thought you were serious after the whole Sheri episode, but I see you aren't satisfied with me!" "Emilie, it's not what it looks like," Nick confessed, as he reached out for her arm. "I love you-" "No, you don't Nick!' Emilie yelled at him. "It's obvious you don't. Goodbye Nick. Don't ever talk to me again!" She threw a dirty Look at Eloisa and then ran from the restaurant. "Nick, you had to tell her sooner or later," Eloisa concluded and Nick shook his head, more confused then he had ever been in his life. Emilie ran towards the outside garden behind the motel, and collapsed on the ground in a pool of stones and pebbles. She sobbed, harder then she ever had before and as the anguish and hurt of all the pain she had endured with Sheri, elevated her mind. She couldn't believe Nick. He had now broken her heart permanently. She felt as if he had never loved her, and all the pain he had installed in her before, was now reality. He had been stringing her along for the last few days, but was cheating on her with that stupid brood, that she hated more then Sheri. "Em? What's wrong?" said a familiar voice and she looked up to see Justin, holding a basketball and a bottle of water. She had no idea that basketball court was right beside the park. "Nick! He cheated on me again Justin!" Emilie cried, as Justin knelt down, and wrapped his arms around her. "Why Justin? Am I so horrible that he would do that to me again?" "Em, it's not you Hon," Justin soothed her. "It's him. I can tell you that right now." "Justin, I am so stupid!" Emilie answered, as she wiped her eyes. "He stringed me along for four days that everything was wonderful between us, and now he Justas dumps me. What am I going to do?" "Well, what happened?" Justin asked her. "I saw him in the restaurant with an unfamiliar girl and I decided to listen in on what they were saying," Emilie explained, as the tears started to dry up. "He said he really loved me, but told that girl that he was really starting to like her! How can I be so stupid?" "Em, it's not your fault," Justin replied, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "Maybe it's better you broke up." "Justin, I loved him so much," Emilie admitted honestly, as the steady ring sparkled on her finger. "How can he be such a jerk?" "Emilie! There you are!" Nick exclaimed and Emilie looked up. "Leave me alone Nick!' Emilie snapped at him. "You are a bastard and a jerk!" "Em, let me explain-," Nick tried to make her listen, but she wasn't going to give that satisfaction. "No Nick," Emilie stopped him. "I listened before. I am sick off all the lies and the excuses!" "Emilie, I love you though," Nick replied, and tears formed in his eyes. "You don't love me Nick! You said, "I think I am really starting to like you Eloisa"!" Emilie snapped back. "How does that show you love me and only me?" "Em, Eloisa is-," Nick tried to explain. "No! I don't give a shit that she is! Just stay away from me! I hate you!" Emilie snapped and she took her steady ring off her finger, and threw it at him. She ran into the motel quickly, almost bumping into AJ and Brian, as they came out to find him. "Nice move Carter," Justin snapped at him. "Stay out of it Timberlake!" Nick threatened him. "What the heck is going on?" AJ snapped at Nick and Justin. "Nothing!" Nick yelled at him. "Carter, did you cheat on her again?" AJ snapped at him. "I said it's none of your business AJ!" Nick yelled at him. "Stay out of it." "AJ, calm down!" Brian said calmly. "It's between Nick and Emilie." "Fine," AJ answered, as his face relaxed. "Carter, you are one big asshole. You don't deserve Emilie." He turned around and went to see if Emilie was okay. "Why doesn't he mind his own business?" Nick asked Brian. "Nick, just tell Emilie you don't want to be with her anymore," Brian suggested. "You can't keep breaking her heart man. It's not fair to you or her." "I am confused Brian," Nick answered honestly. "Justin, do you mind?" Justin shook his head and headed back into the motel. "Nick, how can you be confused?" Brian asked him, as they walked along the park path. "Emilie is wonderful, you know that." "Brian, I met someone else," Nick answered simply. "I love Emilie, but this other girl is so incredible." "Nick, you are feel to do whatever you want," Brian advised him. "But, AJ and lots of the guys are going to hate you." "Why? Because I broke up with my girlfriend?" Nick asked him. "It's none of their business." "Nick, Emilie is like a little sister to us," Brian told him. "How can you send her daisies and then screw her this afternoon?" "Brian, I am confused," Nick answered. "Haven't you ever been in love with two women?" "Yeah, I have," Brian replied honestly. "But I would never cheat on Leanne." "Brian, let me handle it myself okay?" Nick asked him and he nodded. Emilie ran into her motel room, as Ariale lay on her bed, reading a book. She took one look at Emilie and dropped her novel, as Emilie sobbed. She heard a knock on the door, and looked through the peephole, to see AJ standing there, looking a cross between pissed off and worried. "Em, what's wrong?" Ariale asked her, as she let AJ in. "Nick is what's wrong!" Emilie replied, as she collapsed on her bed. She saw the teddybear he had given her, laying beside her. She got in, and threw it across the room. "Calm down Em!" Ariale said calmly. "AJ, what happened?" "Em, are you okay?" AJ asked her at the same time, Ariale asked him. "No!" Emilie replied, as she covered her face with the pillow. "Em, come on Hun," AJ said softly, as he sat down on the bed beside her. "It's not going to help you, if you stay quiet." "AJ, please leave me alone!' Emilie answered softly. "Just leave!" AJ shook his head. He exchanged looks with Ariale, and she motioned towards the door. They left her on the bed, and walked out the door, to see Justin walking down the hall. "How is she?" Justin asked them. "Very upset," AJ answered simply. "Justin, what exactly happened?" "She saw Nick talking to some strange girl in the restaurant and he said he was starting to like her," Justin replied. "Oh," Ariale said shaking her head. "It's five o'clock everyone. We'd better go get ready for the concert at the Fleet Center." "We can't leave Emilie," AJ replied, as he looked at the door. "AJ, you have a concert, remember?" Ariale reminded him and he nodded. He glanced once more at their motel room, and followed Ariale and Justin down the hall. They saw Nick and Brian coming up the hall. "Okay, be calm okay?" AJ told Justin and he nodded. "B-Rok, we got sound check at six." "Yeah, I'm coming now buddy," Brian replied, as Nick avoided everyone's eyes. "See you there." "Okay," AJ said, and he kept walking. "Anyway, Ariale, how was your day sweetie?" "Well, very good," Ariale answered smiling. "Em and I ran into Oceane." "Oceane Andrews?" AJ said shocked. "What is she doing in Boston?" "He's engaged AJ," Ariale answered simply, and a worried Look creased her face. "Do you think Emilie will be okay?" "I think the last place she wants to be is at the concert hall," Justin added. "Yeah, you're probably right," AJ agreed, as they entered the elevator. "Did you have shopping?" "It was a lot of fun," Ariale replied, as they saw Howie and Kevin on the elevator. "Hey guys." "Hey everyone!" Howie said cheerfully. "How was your day?" "Really fun," Ariale answered smiling, as AJ took her hand. "What's wrong AJ?" Kevin asked him. "You all look like something really terrible happened." "That stupid bastard Nick cheated on Emilie again," AJ replied, shaking his head. "Seriously?" Howie asked and AJ nodded. "Why would he do that?" "World war three is breaking out good this time," Kevin commented. "I am sick of all these childish games. Either he likes Emilie or he doesn't!" "You tell him Kevin," AJ said, as they got off the elevator. "Maybe he'll listen to you." "Jeez AJ, he's 19 years old!" Ariale snapped at him. "And besides, you are hanging all over Emilie and worrying about how she feels, when you should be concerned with your real girlfriend. Besides, let Emilie realize that Nick wasn't right for her anyway." "Ariale, I can't believe you just said that," AJ shook his head in disbelief. "Emilie is practically your best friend." "Yeah, and a guy broke her heart!" Ariale argued back. "You should be more concerned with me and not her!" "Ariale, Emilie is like a little sister to me and nobody's going to break her heart, not even Nick Carter," AJ snapped. "So, either you'll support that I want to be there for Emilie, or we will just not go out anymore!" "Fine AJ!" Ariale snapped back. "You go be there for Emilie without me!" She stomped towards the awaiting van, leaving the four guys behind in disbelief. "What the heck just happened here?" Howie asked, shaking his head. "I have no idea, what I am not getting involved!" Kevin commented, and AJ just hung his head low. Justin saw Lance and JC coming, and he walked over to them. "How come everyone's fighting Curly?" Lance asked him. "Nick cheated on Emilie, and now AJ and Ariale are in a big fight," Justin reported back. "It's a big soap opera." "Why is Ariale and AJ mad at each other?" JC asked him. "Because AJ is concerned about Emilie and Ariale is jealous of it!" Justin replied and JC nodded. "You aren't going to try to win Ariale's heart now, are you?" "So, is Emilie really broken-hearted?" Lance asked Justin. Lance had a thing for Emilie when they were back in Toronto, but since then, had still thought she was beautiful, but his crush had pretty much dissolved. "What do you think Lance?" Justin asked him, shaking his head. They got in one of the vans outside the motel. "You all messed up, in my opinion." "Who's all messed up?" Joey asked him, from the front seat of the van. "Everyone is fighting with everyone because Nick cheated on Emilie and now Ariale and AJ are fighting, and JC is planning how he can get with Ariale and Lance wants to get with Emilie," Justin answered and Joey looked confused. "So, is Lance with Emilie now?" Joey asked him, as he turned to see a miserable looking Emilie, standing outside their van. JC opened the door for her. "Can I come with you guys?" Emilie asked them, and they said sure. He got in the van, and sat in back beside Lance. "Are you okay?" Lance asked her. "No, why doesn't everyone just leave me alone?" Emilie snapped back and Lance looked taken back. "Sorry!" Lance said softly, and he saw her eyes become regretful. "I'm sorry Lance," she replied, as tears filled her eyes again. "It's just hard and I have no right to lash out at you guys!" "It's okay," JC told her. "We understand how hard it is." "Thanks," Emilie offered them a smile. Chris came into the van, and they were off towards the venue. Everyone was silent, as they approached the theatre and Emilie stomped in by herself. Ariale saw her coming, rolled her eyes, and walked the other way. "Hey, what is going on?" Chris asked Joey. "Long story, don't ask," Joey replied and Chris nodded.Nick was in one of their assigned dressing rooms, getting ready. He was in there with Brian because it seemed as if everyone was avoiding him. Eloisa had left several messages on his pager, and he was reluctant to return them. He had Eliza, while they were in Spain for their world tour, and he had liked her instantly. They had gone out of a date, and she was originally from Halifax. She had come to the motel and they had hooked up to discuss their relationship. He felt bad for the whole situation, and was overly confused about the whole relationship with Emilie. He really loved her, but there was a part in his heart that longed to be with Eliza. He wasn't sure why, but it was there. He switched on the video and heard the DJ come on the radio. "I just received a phone call from an anonymous listener who wants someone named Nick to know that she loves him very much and she wants to dedicate this song to him," the DJ commented, and Nick put the radio and out poured "Have You Ever" by Brandy.Have ever loved somebody so much Nick grabbed his cell phone and called directory assistance to get the radio station number. He called and the deep voice of the DJ answered. "Hi! Who dedicated that song to Nick?" Nick asked the DJ. "It was someone who was very upset," the DJ replied, and Nick thanked him...
