Brian struggled to find the key hole to the apartment he shared with Leighanne. Too drunken to successfully open it, he pounded on the door. He didn't know if she was home and he hoped she wasn't. After waiting for a few seconds, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.  As the elevator door opened, he turned around as soon as he heard Leighanne's voice inviting him into the apartment.  Brian stepped into the apartment and Leigh took his jacket.  They didn't say anything and hardly looked straight at each other.  She could tell the he was drunk and he had a hard time.  She knew it was her fault that they ended up this way, but she also thought Brian had much to do with it too.  He never comforted her when she was troubled with something and Nick did.  What else was she supposed to do?  Then she said under her breath, "Maybe I should've told him."  But it was too late to explain anything.

The next day the boys had a photo shoot for the popular teen magazine Seventeen.  When they arrived their limo was surrounded by fans waiting to get a glimpse of their idols.  

"Ok, I'll keep the girls away while you guys hurry into the studio."  Gary, their bodyguard said.

Brian put down his Cognac and wiped his mouth.  The other guys never seen him so low and stared at him for a moment.

"What the 'h-e-double- hockey sticks' are you looking at?" Brian yelled while he took another drink.

This only made them more confused.  AJ cocked his head to the other side as if he studying Brian's every move.
Everyone began to snicker as they watched AJ's gestures.

"Let's go already! You all are making me sick." Brian left after Gary.

The boys ran through the crowd of fans as Gary made a clear path to the door.  AJ was an inch away from the door when suddenly a small blonde haired woman grabbed his face and kissed him fiercely.  He didn't know what was happening but he held on to the kiss as long as he could.  Gary noticed this and pulled the girl away from AJ.

"What are you doing?  Get back now!"  Gary said as he escorted AJ to the studio.

AJ was shocked.  He escaped Gary and ran back into the crowd to search for the girl but they had escorted her into a police car.

AJ went back into the busy studio where the other guys and their manager, Jonathan, waited.

"Yo, did you see that girl?"

Everyone sat up with attention.

"Oh, you mean that girl who kissed you?  She's wild.  What about her?"  Howie walked up to AJ.

"That's the girl I going to marry!"

That was the funniest thing that they'd heard all day.  Even Brian laughed!  Jonathan approached the boys.

"Ok, enough joking around.  You've got a photo shoot to do."

Everyone left the room, still smiling from AJ's unbelievable announcement.

That girl was inside AJ's head through the whole day.  He knew that somehow he would see her again.
