Chapter 7

The next morning around 4 AM, Thorin awoke from her deep sleep to the sound of her cell phone ringing. "Hello?"

"Hey Thorin, its me, Tom"

"Tom? Is something wrong?" Thorin asked one of her close friends.

"Yeah, your on call, and I'm calling you because I need a good lawyer and your a good lawyer."

"I know, where are you?"

"West Palm, the county jail."

"What'd you do?" Thorin asked while getting dressed. He got silent.

"What?" she asked again.

"Shut up Thorin" Amy yelled while putting a pillow over her head.

"Shh, don't wake up Jess and Chrissy!"

"They have me in here for attempted murder." Tom said practicly in a whisper.

"What?" Thorin was speechless.

"Yeah..."

"Did you?"

"No! Well....yes."

"What? How could you?"

"Please come!" was all she heard before the phone went dead.

Thorin never told anyone she was on call so she didn't know how to tell them. "Amy" Thorin nudged her. "Amy!" again.

"What?" she asked sleeply while opening her eyes.

"I have to leave..."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm on call."

"You are?"

"Yeah" Thorin was almost always on call.

"Be back early" Amy yawned.

"I'll try..." Thorin said while getting up off the edge of her bed.

Amy grabbed her arm. "Bring Brian"

Thorin thought for a second. "Yea, I guess I should. Thanks." She closed the door and tip toed down the hallway with her purse and shoes in hand. Quietly she opened Brian's door. Peeking inside she knew he was still asleep. Thorin was about to leave when she heard her name.

"Thorin?"

"Brian's already having dreams about me," she chuckled to herself. She saw him sitting up in bed. "hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean too...."

"No, its okay, what are you doing?" Thorin sat on the bed with him and explained the whole situation.

"Wow! I can't believe your a lawyer"

"Yeah, I have to drive all the way to West Palm" she stopped.

"Well, if you want I could give you some company, I mean its up to you, your choice, I won't if you don't..."

"I'd love that!" she smiled.

"Give me ten mintues?"

"Alright" she said while quietly closeing the door.

Brian got up and went into the bathroom. A few mintues later he came back out wet and more awake. He opened up his closet then thought for a minute. 'What am I supposed to wear?' he thought. He opened up his bedroom door a little and called for Thorin. He caught her just as she was walking down the stairs.

"Hey Thor"

"Huh?"

"What should I wear?"

"Clothes!" she whispered.

He put his hands on his hips.

Thorin smiled. "Just wear like kackis and a polo shirt or something..."

"Ohh. Okay" He closed the door and went into his closet.

-------------------------------------------------

Thorin continued walking down the stairs. "Damn he looks good" she thought with a smile. She sat on the couch to put on her shoes but quickly got back up when she realized she sat on something...or somebody.

The person sat up. "Nick?" she asked.

"Thorin?"

"Yeah, what are you doing on the couch?"

"I was to tired to go home."

"I gotta dip out, Brian is coming with, I'll tell you later, but you can go use my bed. I'm sure its alot more comfortable then this thing."

"Really?"

"Yeah...Amy is up there too" she teased.

Nick pushed her off the couch trying to make it seem like he didn't like Amy, but inside he wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her until he couldn't breath anymore.

Thorin pulled him off the couch and pushed him towards the stairs. She went into the kitchen to write a note to the others.

A little while later Brian came downstairs. "Whatcha doing?"

"I'm leaving a note for the guys so they don't think we disappeared."

Hey Kids,

Sorry, but I had to go back to West Palm Beach for a trial. Brian is with me, don't worry, I'll take care of him. I don't know what time we will be back. Ask Amy if you have any questions.

xoxo,

Thorin

"Ready?" Brian asked.

"Yup, lets go."

"Wait, do you want to take my truck?"

"You don't mind?"

"No, not at all. Come on" he said while taking his keys. He quietly locked the door and followed Thorin.

"I like it" she said while examining the black Dodge Ram in the drive way. Once the car started they both reached for the radio dial at the same time.

"Go ahead" he guestured.

She smiled at him and switched the stations until she found a good song. Then "Water Runs Dry" by Boyz II Men came on. She sat back in her seat and stared out the window.

--------------------------------------------------------

Nick opened the door and was about to lay down on Thorin's empty bed when Amy saw him. "What are you doing?" she asked sweetly.

"Thorin said I can crash here while she's gone, do you mind?"

"No, not at all"

She watched him lay down and his hair fall over his eyes. She smiled to herself. The boy of her dreams was less then two feet away from her. But she knew he'd never be hers. Little did she know....he wanted and needed her just as much as she did.

-----------------------------------------------------------

After the song ended Brian began to talk. "So how do you know Jess?"

"Well, I'm best friends with Amy and she is good friends with Chrissy so I met Chrissy thorugh her and we became friends. And we just met Jessica through her and have become friends ever since."

"Ohhhhhh..... You and Amy have quite an age difference, how did you become best friends with her?"

"We grew up together. I've known her since I was 12 and she was only 8 or 9 then, but we got along. And it was fun to boss her around" she laughed.

Brian smiled at her. He loved her smile and her laugh. "Yeah, thats kind of like me and Nick. But we met up in the group. He's five years younger then me, but we get along great. I guess you could say he's my best friend."

She looked over at him and smiled. "That is so sweet!" Brian smiled back at her, almost blushing.

"So...what is it like being famous?" she asked while trying to make more conversation.

"Hectic....very hecitic. But I love it with all that I have and wouldn't give it up for the world."

"I bet. I always wanted to be a singer. But I never knew how to get signed or anything."

"You sing?"

"A little" she replied shyly.

"Let me hear you, sing something for me," he begged.

"What do you want me to sing?"

Brian thought for a second. Then the song "Sweet Heart" by Mariah Carey and JD came on the radio. "How about this?"

"Ok......"

She smiled and cleared her throat.

"Boy haven't you noticed the gleam in my eyes, because of you, I'm a little hypnotized. But everytime your with me, I feel so positive, that with you a little love, somethings gotta give," she began quietly, relaxing some and getting louder. She looked over at Brian, who's mouth was nearly on the floor while he tried watching her and the road while he drove at the same time. "Go on," he encouraged.

"A full moon is waiting in the twilight, maybe soon you'll come to be my light, here we are, hoping that we'll never part, stay with me," she took a deep breath then finished the rest of the song, but skipping JD's rap break.

"Wow! Your amazing!" Brian said still in shock.

"You mean it?"

"I really mean it. Your incredible! I can try to get you a record deal...if you'd like?"

"No way! Ahhh! I love you so much!! Thank you thank you thank you!"

She calmed down some. "You really think I could get signed?"

"Well, you have a beautiful voice. I'll try!"

She wrapped her arms around his squeezing him until he was out of breath. Sitting back in her seat, she closed her eyes. She had always wanted to be with Brian since the day she saw him in a magazine. But she always wanted to be a singer. That was her dream. Little did she know...he dreams were about to come true.
