(Tre POV)
We get to the hospital and Autumn checks in and then we get the joy of waiting. While we were waiting Aj and I were watching tv and Howie was holding Autumn as best he could sitting in hospital waiting room chairs. finally she gets called and we all stand up to go but get told only 1 person can go with. AJ and I shrug and Howie goes with her and we go back to watch tv. I put my head on Ajs shoulder and fall asleep. I am dreaming about running on the beach with AJ when I hear a scream
'OMG IT'S AJ FROM THE BACKSTREET BOYS'
I feel Aj jerk up and hear
"Come on Tre, we gotta make a run for it"
He grabs my hand and jerks me out of my chair and I stumbly follow him while he pulls me along still half asleep. In my half asleep state all I can think is
'why is my cat pulling on my clothes?'
(Autumn POV)
After my name is called, Howie and I go in the back and sit and wait some more. My hand is still throbbing and Howie is being sweet to me throughout it all. Finally we are taken into X-ray and told it would be a while because something was going out in the main waiting room. So Howie and I are alone again.
"Autumn, can you give me a reason why you can't and won't go to Florida with me, please?"
The look he gives me with those eyes forces me to tell him about how I have this thing for Fred and how I felt bad last night and just wanted to hide in the bathroom. He seems upset and I then tell him I felt bad when I was outside with Fred because I wanted to be inside with him but when I was with him I just wanted to stare at Fred and I told him nothing happened with Fred. He was just nice. There were no hugs, kisses or anything else. He was quiet and then the doctor came and looked at my hand and X-Rayed it and said he would be back. I told Howie I was sorry and just confused about my feelings.
(Tre POV)
I come out of my half asleep state somewhere on the 2nd floor of the hospital. I look behind us and there are like 5 girls giving chase and they are catching up quickly. I look ahead and I see a stairs exit coming up and smack AJ on the arm and point to it and he nods. We get to it and we open the door and start up the stairs. We stop on the next landing and hear the girls open the door we just came through and hear them heading back down towards the main floor. I smile and look at Aj and he is also grinning.
"Good thinking babe" he tells me and gives me a kiss.
"Thank you. Anything to get away from that" I tell him. I see a look pass over his face 'oh great what'd I say now' I think.
"You know Tre, uhh that is part of my life and that means if it is part of mine, if you go to Florida with me, it is apart of yours"
He tells me this and I can't believe I didn't think of that before hand. He gets worried when I don't assure him that I can learn to handle it. He looks into my eyes and I can't meet his. He drops my hand and starts up the stairs. I watch him climb the stairs and it hits me that if I don't tell him
'I can learn to handle the fan madness'
I will lose him....forever. I can still hear his steps echoing up the stairway and then they stop and I hear a door open and close. I listen to the silence and it is deafening. I don't like how it feels to one minute have Aj and then he is gone. The feelings I have come hard and fast upon me. I have only been with him a short time but feel like we have been together a long time. We click. We feed off one anothers spirit. It's like we were meant to be together. I listen for him to come back and it comes to me that he's not. I have to go to him because it is my decision if we stay together or stay apart. I can't take the silence anymore and I run up the stairs.
(Autumns POV)
The doctor comes back while Howie and I are just staring at each other.
"Well Autumn, your hand isn't broken but you will need some stiches from where the glass cut you. I will be back in a few to stich you up."
I nod and he leaves, shutting the door.
"So let me get this right," Howie says "You don't know who you really love, although you have spent 2 days with me and maybe 5 minutes with Fred."
I nod. "Howie, I really do love you and all but I mean....if I only had the time to figure out my feelings."
Right as Howie was about to say something the doctor came back and began stiching up my hand.
(Tre POV)
I get to the door that I believe Aj walked through just a few minutes ago. I look both ways down the hallway (my momma always told me to look both ways...YAY me a good girl!)but I don't see him anywhere. I turn left and start looking for him. I realize where we are...the maternity ward. Oh great.
'screaming babies and even louder screaming mothers soon to be' I think.
I walk up to the nurses ward and am about to ask if they saw anyone that resembled AJ (don't wanna say AJ, might start a riot) walk by. But before I can I see him looking into the nursery window. I sigh and walk up to him and put my hand on his arm
"You know Tre, I always wanted to be a daddy. I mean not now, but someday."
I smile because I can see him being a daddy, a good one at that.
"Well Aje some day you will be." I tell him.
He looks up at me
"Only if the right one comes along who can handle my life"
He says to me with a hint of bitterness in his voice. I cringe at this but understand.
"Aj, I"m sorry."
I say to him and I realize he takes it the wrong way when I see anger flash in his eyes and he starts to walk off
'crap' "No Aj, wait." I tell him and he stops but doesn't look at me "I'm sorry because I didn't answer you on the stairs the way I should of."
He turns and looks at me
"How were you supposed to answer me, Tre? You can't handle my life style, that is how you answered me. Not the answer I wanted but the one I got none the less" He says to me and again walks off.
'damn all the things about him walking off when he is mad is true'
I think as I go after him. I catch up and touch his arm
"No AJ, the answer I should of given you was, I don't care what the future may bring, be it fans or whatever else comes our way, I want to be with you. I want to move to Florida and live with you."
He looks at me and has a smile on his face
"Are you sure?"
"Yes AJ, more sure about this then I've ever been about anything else"
I tell him and he reaches out and takes my hand and pulls me into a hug.
"Thank you Tre, you've made me one happy man."
He whispers into my ear and that makes me get tears in my eyes. "My pleasure Aj, you've made me one happy lady"
We kiss each other and then head back towards the emergency room.
(Autumns POV)
"Okay here is the instructions for keeping your stiches clean," the doctor says.
I thank him and so does Howie.
"Autumn, I was going to say something before he came back. Do you want to hear it?"
"Yeah. I think I can take anything right now."
I thought he would start yelling at me or something.
"I don't want to pressure you into something without you being for it. You said you wanted a day and I can give you that. But afterwards I want you to tell me how you feel. Okay?"
Okay he lost me....(not hard to do to this blonde) I say okay without even asking what he meant by that. We head out and Howie tells the lady to bill him for the visit. We see AJ and Tre coming off the elevator.
(Tre POV)
We get off the elevator and I see Howie and Autumn
"Come on sweetie, there they are" I say to AJ.
"Yes dear" he says to me and I laugh.
"Oh see how you are."
I say and he just laughs back at me. (ok, it's late and him and I are tired...cut us some slack here)
"So what'd the doc say?" I ask Autumn
"I got stiches but nothings broke" she tells me.
"Good, I'm glad. I guess you better not punch any glass doors anymore, huh, Autumn?"
I ask her and she shakes her head
"Yea I guess so, I learned who will win that fight" and we laugh.
I notice we are ahead of the guys and I turn around and see Howie and Aj talking about something and I get the feeling it is Autumn and her lack of moving to Florida with Howie. I look at her
"So Autumn, what's happening with you and Howie? did you tell him?" I ask her as we make our way to the car.
(Autumn POV)
"Yeah I told him. Tre, it wasn't the easiest thing i the world to do."
I then told her the whole story and what Howie had said. I then asked her if that made any sense to her.
(Tre POV)
"Well it sounds like he is going to give you some time to try to sort out your feeling Autumn, but he isn't going to wait forever. That is what I get out of it" I tell her. "He leaves in just a few hours Autumn. Are you ready for him to possibly walk out of your life forever?"
I ask her and I can see conflict in her eyes and I decide to leave it at that. I also realize that in a few hours I will be on a plane with Aj, Howie and Autumn heading home. I will be heading home to pack whatever I needed and then say goodbye to whoever and then I would be on my way to my new life with AJ. wow...
AJ drives so Howie can be in the backseat with Autumn. I smile to myself.
'man he would be soo good for her. If only she would realize it'
I think to myself as I take Aj's hand and feel him squeeze mine and I lay my head back up against the seat and close my eyes.
(Autumns POV)
I feel the painkillers start to kick in as I am about half asleep just as we pull out of the parking lot. I hear Elvis playing softly on the radio and I start to fall over towards the door. Howie looks over at me and careful pulls me up and rests my head on his shoulder. Tre looks back and sees me and Howie's shoulder and smiles. AJ begins to talk and Tre quitens him, pointing out I am asleep. I don't think they know I got a shot, but they stay quiet until we get back to the hotel.
(Tre POV)
We get back to the hotel and Howie helps Autumn out of the car and we head to our rooms. We stop at their room and help Howie open the door so he could still help Autumn. He walks in and puts her down on the bed and comes back
"Thanks guys, I guess we'll see you in the morning"
He says to us and I notice he has a sad tone to his voice.
"Yep see you in the morning Howie. Don't worry, she'll make the right decision. It has to be right for her, Howie cause if it isn't it won't be right for you either."
I tell him and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and start to walk to Ajs room.
"Night D, see ya in the morning" I hear Aj say.
"Yea, in the morning"
Howie responds and closes the door. AJ opens the door and we walk in and I sit on the bed and then let myself fall back.
"wow what a night" I say out loud.
"Yea you got that right babe. You think Autumns gonna go to Florida with D?"
Aj asks me and I sit up on my elbows and look at him.
"You know, I have no idea what she is going to do Aje, but I will support her whatever it is"
He shakes his head in understanding and strips down to his boxers and then climbs in bed. I have to smile, I mean come on ladies us AJ fans dream of that happening. I get up and undress myself and get into bed next to him. He wraps his arms around me and we kiss goodnight.
(Autumns POV)
I wake up with a slight ache in my arm. I am shocked to realize I have the whole bed to myself. I sit up and see Howie sitting in a chair asleep.
'ouch. That has to be uncomfortable' I think.
I am thirsty so instead of calling room service, I head down to get my drink. I get down to the main lobby and tell the guy I need some Sprite. He tells me it will be a while so I sit and wait. They have the tv on and "My Way" is playing. I let out a sigh and smile when it goes off. Then I hear another tune I know by heart..."All I have To give " I sit and watch the video and sing along with it. They soon bring me my drink but i am still watching the video. After it goes off, I get back on the elevator and head to the room.
(Tre POV)
I wake up a couple hours after we went to bed and gently take AJs arms from around me (YEAH right! lol) and get out of bed. I go into the bathroom and grab a glass to get a drink of water. I drink the water but that doesn't quinch my thirst so I decide to go and get a pop from the machine. I put on a shirt and a pair of shorts and grab AJs card (don't wanna get locked out ya know) and carefully open the door and then close it. I stand there to make sure I didn't wake up AJ and when I know I didn't I walk towards the machine. I get my pepsi and then go to a window in the hall and look out over the city.
'It's actually very pretty at night and very peaceful, well at least from the inside of a motel room it is peaceful' I think to myself.
I decide to get back to the room before AJ wakes up. I head back and I hear the elevator open and out walks Autumn. I go to say hi to her but it looks like she is upset
"Autumn?"
I say and she looks up at me and i can see she has a very sad and confused look on her face and I know immediatly what's wrong.
"Ya wanna talk?" I ask her
