The Girl in the Glass

Chapter 7

Abbie dug out her discman from her napsack and popped in the new NSYNC cd that she had bought the day she moved. It was full of cutting tracks that kept her motivated while working out. She looked at the clock on her bedside table and she saw that it read 4:25. She calculated that she could get an hour run in before she had to meet the guys at Jive. "What the hell I will just run over there instead of coming home and showering" Abbie ran down the steps of her complex and was off.

"Bye Momma, I will call you when we get into the hotel, take care of Panda and Bear for me ok" AJ hugged his mother tightly. She would join him in a couple of weeks on tour but right now she had the launch of the Fun Club to plan for.

"Take care baby and stay out of trouble" Denise warned.

Howie said goodbye to his parents and was about to settle into the bus that he and AJ shared when he caught a glimpse of a brunette running towards them "Abbie" he whispered to himself. He climbed back off the bus and walked over to where the rest of the boys were standing. He smiled when Abbie ran over to them, out of breath and very sweaty.

"Sssssorry...hhhold on ....llllllet mmme cacthhh my breath" Abbie bent her head down to the ground and breathed in deeply.

"Do we wanna know why you are so out of breath?" Brian teased.

"I went jogging and figured that to save time I would jog here, oh my sweet jesus I didn't know that it was so far, I almost died" Abbie laughed.

"Okay guys...let's get ready to roll out" Emma, their tour manager announced.

"Well we will see you soon Abbie, take care" AJ smiled and climbed onto his bus "D I am taking the left side of the bus" AJ screamed.

"NOT FRIGGING LIKELY...You got that side last tour" Howie whined.

"Now children play nice..." Abbie teased. "Have a good tour guys"

"Take care and if you need anything Leighanne will be here for a couple of days before she joins the tour, call her she would be more than happy to help you out" Brian smiled widely and then ran to his bus.

Nick was standing with his parents and his siblings and he waved back at Abbie as he got on the bus "Bye Abbie, I will talk to you soon...and try not to put down Sim City anymore in your column or I will kick your scrawny ass when I see you" Nick screamed.

Abbie laughed and turned to Kevin and Howie "Well, you two, get on that bus"

"If you need anything call my mom she will help you out, if you need to talk or are feeling lonesome call me anytime" Howie hugged the sweaty girl "Guess the first place I am visiting is the shower." He teased as he pulled away and saw the sweaty damp spot on his Penn State t shirt.

"Sorry" Abbie giggled "Well Mr Richardson have a great tour and I will talk to you soon" Abbie looked up at the tall, dark man and smiled softly.

"Take care Abigail Foster and I will call you tonight to give you the run down on the bus ride from hell" Kevin laughed and hugged her tightly.

Abbie waved goodbye as the bus drove off and only then did she allow the scared feelings that had been surpressed when she was with the men, her friends, take over her body. She wiped the tears from her eyes and bit her lip. "Stop acting like a baby Abbie, you have never been scared of anything before what the hell is so different now" Abbie scolded herself and started the long run home.

Abbie walked into the large, sunny office and smiled. The walls had been freshly painted in a light blue and the light furniture worked with the light colours to give off a homey and friendly atmosphere. Abbie smiled when she saw the large bouquet of flowers sitting on her desk.

Abbie,

We hope your first day on the job goes well.

Howie, AJ, Kevin, Nick and Brian

Abbie tossed her shoulder bag on the couch and sunk down into the plush executive swivel chair. "This is so much better then the cramped cubicle I worked in back at CNN"

Welcome to the world of glamourous photo shoots and adoring fans. As the newest member of the Backstreet Boys' family I will be giving you behind the scenes information from the world's most beloved male group and the biggest tour of the summer.

I will be incorporating the boys' daily reports to me and forming a column for you, my faithful readers. I will be joining the boys on tour in a couple of weeks and from their I will fill you in with the backstage going ons and tour bus adventures.

I want to take this opportunity to invite you to send me questions for the boys. I will submit them to the boys and they in turn will pick some of the most interesting ones and answer them in this colomn.

Watch for the premier column in the 5 BOYS AND A BUS next Monday.

Abbie finished typing and re read her introductory column. "I should really get their opinions on this before I post it." Abbie made a note to read it to Kevin that evening when he called with that day's wrap up. She turned around in her chair when she heard a knock at the door. "Can I help you?" Abbie asked the woman standing in her doorway.

"I just wanted to see if you wanted to come to lunch with a couple of the interns. My name is Pamela" the tall blonde walked over and shook Abbie's hand. "I am Tim's assistant and he has tld me all about you"

" Tim is a great guy, I would love to go with you all to lunch. Let me just save this and then we can go"

"Howie is quite the ladies man..oh my god some of the stories that go around the office would make your hair go straight" Sari giggled as the girls filled in Abbie on the boys and all the office gossip.

"I can't imagine that sweet little Howie is a swinger...come on" Abbie laughed

"Well he isn't little, or so I have been told" Mary, the advertising intern howeled, as she reached for the bottle of wine.

"I should not be hearing about this, oh my god how will I ever look at them all again" Abbie was clutching her stomach and laughing.

"Wait till I tell you about Nick" Pamela said with an evil grin.
