"I hate being stuck on a bus for so long, I swear I am going to go stir crazy" Kevin muttered as he threw the book he had been trying to read for the past hour, aside. Skylar had called in tears last night and Kevin was worried. They had been trying to plan the wedding but it seemed that everytime they came to a decision she would change her mind and send them back to square one. Planning a wedding was stressful enough without trying to do it long distance and with a pregnant fiancee. Kevin had gently suggested that Skylar rethink the decision about getting married before the baby was born. He thought that once the baby was born and he was off tour that they could plan a special wedding, one that wasn't rushed, but Skylar had stuck to her guns. Last night they had a fight about where to hold the wedding and it had ended with Skylar crying and screaming that Kevin didn't care for her or her feelings. Kevin glanced over at Molly who had fallen asleep on the couch, he wanted to wake her and ask for her opinion but he knew that she was working just as hard if not harder then the boys and she needed all the sleep she could get. He couldn't talk to the other guys about it because they had never been in a situation like this and he could not call Kim Ann because she was on a business trip. Kevin stretched out on the other couch and closed his eyes, trying to figure out what to do.

"I never thought I would say this but I miss Nick, it is way too quiet on this bus" AJ groaned as he and Howie watched MTV.
"I know...I miss the little fights and Molly's smart ass comments"
AJ laughed "No you miss Molly. I see the way you look at her whenever she is around, admit it"
"AJ, come on the girl can't stand me, yes she is attractive and funny as hell but I can;t make her like me so I just admire her from afar. Besides management would freak if I got involved with our tour manager"
"Screw them...D why don't you ask her what is up, all she can say is that you are a horny toad who she wishes would crawl back into the swamp where you came from" AJ cracked.
"Very funny.....now shut up Busta Rhymes is on"

"So how is life on the moping and feeling sorry for himself bus?" AJ asked Molly. She had transferred to their bus when the buses stopped to fuel up. Kevin and Skylar were deep in discussion about the wedding and Molly was in no mood to listen to the fighting.
"It is definalty interesting, if they aren't fighting long distance they are sweet talking each other, I can't seem to figure out which is worse" Molly confessed with a grin.
"So have we had any luck trying to reschedule the Greensboro show?" AJ asked. They had to cancel the show becasue they were performing at the Grammy's on the same night.
"We are trying but the venue and our schedule have such tight schedules. I am working on it though"
AJ smiled at the woman who was sitting beside him "So chipper what are you going to do about Howie?"
"Alex I HATE that nick name..." Molly made a pouty face at AJ. The boys had taken to calling her chipper because of her passion for chocolate chip cookie dough.
"You call me Alex, I call you chipper" AJ stuck out his tongue and continued "Seriously Molly I think you should tell Howie..."
"I have to wait for the proper time, I mean I can't just throw out over dinner that ‘Oh by the way Howie I am the fat girl you used to tease in high school; I am a recovering bulemic because of you and oh by the way I contemplated suicide..wanna fuck?’ " Molly blurted out.
AJ looked at Molly stunned "You are bulimic?"
Molly realized what she had confessed and she turned her head so that AJ could not see her face "Yes, I was hospitilized for it in college and then while I was touring with N'Sync I had to be hospitalized. Shit I didn't want you to know" Molly grew silent as she watched the scenery whizz by the window.
AJ knelt down in front of Molly "Molly you didn't have to hide that, I mean you have told me everything else" AJ rubbed Molly's thigh and smiled.
"I didn't want to let management and you all know because I didn't want you to think I was unstable. I love my job and I love touring."
"Unstable..My god Molly you work 20 hours a day for us, you spread
yourself
so thin and you never complain. God you are the best." AJ gathered her
in
his arms and hugged her tight. "We love you chipper and we want what is
best
for you, and I think Howie is what is best for you."
