Chapter 1

"Guys, I think we should be quieter before we get kicked out," Kevin scolded.

All five guys went out celebrating at Around the Clock for a late night meal after finishing up their small 100 hour tour, and releasing their 3rd album, Black & Blue.

"Honestly Kev, it's 1:30 in the morning, i really don't think they care how noisy we are or that we're even here!" Nick argued back.

"Oh man I really can't wait to get on our REAL tour," Brian said. "And Thanksgivings soon too." He smiled at the thought of food and his family.

"Whatever. Can we just get the check and go?" A.J. asked.

Almost simotaniously to saying that the waitress came with their check.

"How was everything?" She asked.

"Very good thank you." Kevin answered.

"Can I please have y'all's autograph for my niece?"

"Sure," they all said as she passed around a piece of paper and a pen.

"Thank you so much, this'll mean the world to her." she thanked them again as they left.

"Ok guys," Brian started. "Me and Nick are going back to his place until i can get my flight back to Atlanta tomorrow morning."

"I'm taking Howie and A.J. home," Kevin explained. "We'll see y'all later."

They said their goodbyes not knowing that they would see eachother sooner than expected.

Kingsport,FL EMT station

Valerie (Val)17, Hank 17, Tyler 17 and James (Jamie)16, all had to take the late shift at their volunteer EMT job.

"Yeah Brooke almost had a heart attack today," Val said describing her little sister. "She was crying whn they were on TV singin. She such a major fan."

"Why would anyone wantto be a Backstreet Boys fan?" Jamie, the gothic one, said.

"I don't know"

All four of them went to the same school, but were complete opposites. Val, Hank, and Tyler were all into school spirit and popular. They joined the EMT's to just volunteer. Jamie on the other hand, was an antisocial goth. The only reason he was there was for community service he had to do for his probation. Brooke, Val's little sis, also worked there, but at 13 she could only do paper work, and stuff like that.

"I'm serious! She almost cried, don't tell her i told you that though. I'll get in a lot of trouble."
Before anyone could respond, the alarm went off, unfortunatly telling them they were needed.
As they drove to the site of the accident they overheard another motor vehicle accident only 5 minutes later.

"That's wierd," Jamie said. "It's not like it's even raining or anything either."

When they arrived at their call, they noticed a car almost fully wraped around a tree.

They rushed in to see 2 mail bodies, both in terrible shape.

Jamie thought, ' by the looks of the car, it looks like they were hit off the road.' He started looking around for another car, but was unsuccessful. "Guys is there another car?"

"Jamie get to work," Hank the head EMT said. "This isn't time to play.... WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM HERE, I NEED HELP!"
