Emilie's New Life by Emilie (emmarosebsb@hotmail.com) Chapter 5 *Before I begin this chapter, I wanted to get a bit personal with everyone. I'm going to talk about guys, love, and relationships for a moment. You probably think that I have a wonderful relationship with a perfect guy, but the truth is, I don't. Recently, I asked a guy out on a date and he already has a girlfriend. I felt really bad about asking, but he was really sweet about it. He still wants to be friends and that's awesome with me. I realized I would rather have been friends with him anyway. My heart was broken for the first five seconds, but I realized my overwhelming crush that I thought I had on him, was really in the excitement of having a boyfriend. I'll be 19 soon and I still have never been kissed. You know that movie 'Never Been Kissed', I always say that movie depicts my life. ;). But, now I realize, do I really need a boyfriend? Oh, I would love to have one. You know, the thought of someone caring so much about you, the thought of having someone cuddle you so close on a winter night with the fire sparkling in front of you, and the moment when you get that first kiss, the one when you know he's the one. I am very happy with my life right now though. I go to College, I have a great job, a loving family, and great friends, especially my best friend who is the greatest friend I have ever known. I am a hopeless romantic, and I decided that I am willing to wait for the right Prince Charming to come along. Who knows?! Maybe I won't get my first kiss until I'm 30, but I am willing to wait and dream for it. Back to the guy I asked out, I really hope he wants to be friends. He has to be the biggest sweetheart I have ever met. I think if you are in a situation with a guy friend, and you have a major crush on him, I think you should do what's in your heart. But always, remember friends are forever and guys come and go. Being friends with someone is so much more awesome...:). I hope I haven't been too personal, but I needed to tell other people how I feel, and who better to tell, but all the awesome, loyal, sweet, friendly, kind, and caring Backstreet Boys fans like YOU, who keep reading the stories. I love you all! :***). So, if you have never been kissed, don't feel you are too ugly to have a boyfriend or no guy wants you, but realize God hasn't chosen the right time for you right now. He'll come along sometime...I promise...anything is possible with love. It’s the force that will heal everything!! I'd better run. Thanks for listening, and if you ever want to talk about anything, you need someone to listen, just e-mail me. I would love to hear from you! Thanks. Luv, Emilie :)* Billie pushed a stray piece of her raven black hair behind her ear, and waited at the airport for Emilie, Nick, and AJ. She was nervous and excited because she had missed Emilie a lot, but also to meet Nick and AJ. She had met them briefly once when they were moving in, but hadn't really spent time with them. It had amazed her from the first day she had met Emilie, that she knew celebrities, but she had brushed it off. Her older sister had been so excited, and begged Billie to tell Emilie to introduce her to Kevin. Billie couldn't believe her immaturity. She would never ask Emilie that. "Hi Billie!" said a familiar voice and she turned to see Drew Winters, walking towards her alone. "What are you doing?" "Hi Drew," Billie smiled. "I'm waiting for Emilie." "Cool, can I wait with you?" Drew wanted to know. "I missed Emilie too." "Drew, she's coming with HER boyfriend Nick and his best friend AJ," Billie informed him. "I don't think it's a good idea." "I know that," Drew replied, looking hurt. "It's cool with me Billie." "Oh sorry," Billie apologized, as she saw Emilie appear with Nick and AJ. She couldn't remember ever seeing her friend glow like she was now. "Hi Billie!" Emilie shrieked, and she gave her a big hug. "Hey Drew. How was your weekend?" "It was pretty cool," Drew answered grinning. "How was yours?" Drew noticed Nick looking at him curiously. "Really awesome," Emilie winked back. "Drew, Billie, this is my boyfriend Nick and one of my best friends AJ." "Nice to meet you," Drew replied, lending his hand to Nick, who shook it slowly. "Nice to meet you Billie," AJ flirted, and she started laughing. "What? What's wrong?" "Gawd AJ, Emilie warned me you were a flirt, but I never imagined this bad!" Billie laughed, and Emilie had to giggle too. "Emilie?" AJ gave her hurt eyes. "I'm sorry AJ," Emilie replied, giving him a puppy dog face, and he responded by giving her a gigantic hug. "Em, you are so weird at times," AJ laughed, and he gave Billie a hug too. "Don't give me one man," Drew warned him, and everyone laughed. "Oh come here baby," AJ said softly, and Billie swatted him. "Now, where are you all staying?" Billie asked mostly Nick and AJ. "In your dorm room," AJ told her. "Nick and Em are sharing a bed, and I'm sharing one with you." "Hell no," Billie choked. "Drew, can I move in for a few days?" "Sure!" Drew answered, and AJ laughed. "We're staying at a motel," Nick snapped, and Emilie turned to stare at him. This was the first time he had said anything. "What's wrong Nick?" Emilie whispered into his ear. "Nothing," Nick snapped back again. "Nick, please, tell me?" Emilie replied. "Who the Heck is that guy?" Nick asked her, and she saw him become uptight. "He's a friend Nick," Emilie told him. "Why can't I have male friends?" "You can, it's just, I don't know," Nick replied, looking away. "It's cool with AJ and stuff, but other guys, I don't know." "This is unreal Nick," Emilie argued. "I can be friends with Drew if I want." "Em, I mean, he's so...like...well, much better looking then me, and I'm scared you might go with him," Nick answered, as tears came to his eyes. "I haven't exactly been faithful to you over our whole relationship." "Nick, how can you even think that?" Emilie whispered back. "If I wanted Drew, I would be with him right now. I love you honey. You are much better looking and so much more sweeter. I would never cheat on you. And the cheating you did, well, I forgot about it." "Really?" Nick asked her, and she nodded. "Nick, I love you," Emilie told him. "I can't tell you how much I do. Please don't ever think I don't." "I promise I won't," Nick answered, pulling her into his arms. "I love you too." "Great!" Emilie smiled. "Drew is really nice as a friend Nick, but you are my boyfriend." "I know," Nick smiled back. "I apologize everyone for being a pain in the ass." "You don't have to apologize Nick," AJ shrugged his shoulders. "We are basically used to it now." "AJ, that was mean," Emilie told him, and AJ became worried. "Sorry," he apologized, and Emilie started laughing. "Not again Em. Geez!" AJ grabbed her and pulled her into another hug, but started tickling her instead. "No!" she shrieked. "AJ!" "Carter, help me out!" AJ told him, and Nick began tickling her, as Drew and Billie watched and laughed as well. "Are you always this crazy?" Billie wanted to know. "Yes!" Emilie cried loudly, as AJ and Nick finally stopped. "Thanks!" "Not a problem," Nick winked at her. "Now, let's get going!" "Where are you staying really?" Billie wanted to know. "In your dorm room," AJ teased her, and Billie swatted him again. "Drew, can I please move in?" Billie begged him. "AJ is really going to drive me insane before the weekend." "That's just the way AJ is," Emilie told Billie. "He's just a big ham, but deep down inside, he's really cool and sweet." "I was beginning to worry," Billie told her, and AJ laughed. "Okay Alex, I guess you can stay with us, but you can't borrow any of my clothes or my make-up." "Billie!" Emilie shrieked. "Now, that was mean." "Sorry," Billie winked, and AJ laughed some more. "Okay, this is getting out of hand. We have to stop insulting each other." "How was New York?" Drew asked them. "It was great," Emilie responded. "It's already snowing down there." "Did you see the tree at Rockefeller Center?" Billie wanted to know, as AJ hailed a limo. "No," AJ answered, as he helped the limo driver throw Emilie's duffel bag into the back. "It was hard to go anywhere because of the snow." "Oh," responded Billie. "Em, we have a floor meeting tonight remember?!" "I'll be there!" Emilie promised, as they stepped into the limo, and drove off to Carleton University.... ****************** Dalilia Ling brought Katie off of Flight 504 from Seattle to Orlando, as she saw many passengers heading towards the baggage claim. She waited patiently for Howie to arrive, as Katie yawned. It had been a long day of travelling, and the snow in Seattle was treacherous, that they had almost been delayed. The weather in Orlando seemed nice, as she picked Katie up, and turned to see a very familiar man, waiting with a dozen red roses. He was wearing a nice leisure suit, and she felt tears come to her violet eyes. "Hello Dalilia!" Howie told her, as she rushed into his arms, Katie and all. "Howie, oh, I missed you so much!" she told him, as he hugged her close. "Me too Mommy!" Katie whispered, and yawned. "Howie, I missed you too." "I missed you too Katie," Howie laughed, as he took her from Dalilia, and hugged her too. "These are for your mommy and this is for you." He handed Dalilia the roses, and a big white teddybear to Katie. "Wow!" breathed Dalilia, as she smelt the roses. "These are so beautiful. Thanks Howie." "Thanks Howie! I love it!" Katie told him, giving him a hug. "Can I call it Snowflake?" "Sure! That's a great name!" Howie winked at her. "How was your flight?" "Very bumpy," Dalilia answered, as she picked up her carry-on luggage. "You know, this snowstorm has been hitting the whole country pretty hard." "Yeah it has," Howie nodded. "In New York, we were almost buried under snow. I'm glad our flight wasn't delayed either." "I'm glad it doesn't snow here," Dalilia commented, as she heard a small snore. Katie had fallen asleep on Howie's shoulder. "Someone's tired," Howie responded, as Dalilia pushed Katie's hair out of her face, and kissed the top of her head. "It's been a long day," Dalilia responded. "But, I'm glad to see you." "Me too," Howie responded, as he kissed her lips. "I have missed you a lot." "Howie, want to get some dinner?" Dalilia suggested. "I'm starving." "Sure, how about the one in the airport?" Howie suggested, and she nodded, as they saw familiar people walking towards them. They saw Brian, LeighAnne, Kevin, Kristen, Amanda, and a blond-haired girl that Dalilia didn't know. "Hello!" LeighAnne grinned, as they stop to chat. "How are you Dalilia?" "Good thanks LeighAnne," she smiled back. "How are you all?" "Great!" Kevin responded. "How's Katie?" "Tired, as you can see," Dalilia smiled, looking down at her precious daughter. "How was your flights?" "Kind of bumpy," Kevin admitted. "I think these snowstorms are making travel difficult." "I hope AJ got to Ottawa okay," Amanda replied, sounding worried. "He did," Kristen assured her. "So did Nick and Emilie too." "Nick should be here," the blond-haired girl snapped. "Emilie is so rank." "Mandy, we like Emilie, so shut up already," Amanda snapped at her. "You complained about her the whole way on the plane." "You guys are taking her back with open arms, when I know for a fact she is so two-faced," Mandy commented. "Look Mandy, you can say whatever you feel is necessary about Emilie, but that won't change our opinion of her," Brian said finally. "We have known her for over one and a half years, and I have to say she is wonderful." "Whatever Brian," Mandy snapped. "She is so fake. She probably wants you too." "Yeah right," LeighAnne told her. "Look Mandy, I know how hard it is, losing your boyfriend. But, Nick loves Emilie the most and there is nothing you can do to change it!" "But you guys know Emilie is pathetic, Emilie is fat, and she is such a bitch!" Mandy told them. "Mandy, we're leaving," Howie told her finally. "I don't like when you put members of our family down." "Now, she's part of your family?" Mandy snapped disgusted. "She's our little sister," Brian told her. "Mandy, get over it, and get over it fast," Amanda told her. "It's not just Emilie's fault, but Nick's too. Nick was the one who told you he loves Emilie." "But, I love him so much," Mandy said, as tears came to her eyes. "What does she have, that I don't?" "It's okay," Amanda told her, and she gave her a hug. "There's lots of other guys out there Hon." "Yeah, but only one Nick Carter," Mandy commented. "Amanda, want to leave?" "Sure," Amanda replied, sighing. "Bye guys! Nice seeing you again Dalilia." "Bye," Dalilia waved, and they left. "Sorry about that," Brian apologized to her. "Mandy's been kind of strung out lately. "Strung out?" Kevin responded. "I think crazy's a more appropriate word. I sat in front of her on the plane and all she did was complain about Emilie and how much she hates her." "How can you dislike Emilie so much?" Howie commented. "She's so sweet." "We'll never know," Brian shook his head. "I'm glad she's not with Nick anymore. She treated him like dirt." "Forget about her," LeighAnne finally spoke up. "Dalilia, Howie, have you ate dinner yet?" "Actually no," Howie responded, as Katie yawned, and woke up. "Hi!" Katie waved to everyone. "What's up? Where's Nick and AJ?" "In Ottawa honey," Dalilia responded. "Are you hungry?" "Yes, but I want to give Brian and Kevin hugs," she responded, and as Howie let her down. She gave Brian one, and then Kevin. "Hi, I'm LeighAnne," she smiled, and Katie smiled. "How are you?" "I'm great," Katie grinned. "Are you Brian's girlfriend?" "Yes," LeighAnne laughed. "Wow, you are so pretty!" she giggled, and she gave LeighAnne a hug. "Hi!" She waved at Kristen. "Hi. How old are you?" Kristen asked her, as she bent down to her level. "I'm seven," Katie responded. "I love your hair!" "Thanks," Kristen grinned, as she gave Katie a hug. "Where are you from?" "Seattle," Katie answered. "It's yucky there. The snow is so heavy, I can't even see the Christmas lights on my house!" "Do you like Mickey Mouse?" LeighAnne asked her. "Disney World?!" Katie shrieked. "I love it! It's so cool! Howie, Mommy, can we go there tomorrow?" "Sure, why not?" Howie told her, as he picked her up again. "What's your favourite ride?" "The Cinderella Carousel," Katie smiled, as Kevin ordered a table for seven. "Can Brandy come?" "She's at home with her Mom and Dad," Howie replied. "But, guess what?! Brandy's mom is going to have a baby soon." "Really?" Katie asked. "Wow! Brandy must be so excited. Mommy, I can't wait until you have a baby!" "I can," Dalilia responded, and everyone laughed. "How about a puppy instead?" "Sure!" Katie eyes shone with excitement. "Howie, can I tell you a secret?" "Sure Hon, what's up?" Howie responded. "Mommy loves you so much," Katie whispered into his ear. "And I do too." "I love you a lot too honey," Howie told her, as tears came to his eyes. "I know," Katie smiled, and she wrapped her arms around his neck... They stepped out of the limo in front of Daisy Residence, as snow began trickling down outside. Emilie took Nick's hand, as he let her out of the limo. She saw her fellow roommates staring at the limo, and Billie almost started laughing, as she waved at Alecia, their dorm supervisor. She stared for a moment, and recognized Billie and Emilie, and headed over to them in the snow. "Girl, what in the world is going on?" Alecia shrieked. "What's with the limo?" "It's AJ's idea," Billie laughed, as AJ got out of the limo. "Mercy, mercy me," Alecia shrieked. "It's AJ McLean." "Hello," AJ grinned. "How are you?" "Good," Alecia beamed. "How are you?" "Cold," Emilie answered, as she grinned at Alecia. "How was your weekend?" "Boring," Alecia admitted. "Hey Drew. How in the world did you get into the limo too?" "I was at the airport," Drew grinned. "We sort of ran into one another." "Oh," Alecia smiled at Nick. "So, are you two staying here tonight?" "No!" Billie cried. "Well, Nick can, but if AJ does, I'm going to Drew's room." "Billie!" AJ whined. "You are so mean to me!" "Let's go inside?" Emilie suggested. "I'm so cold." "I'll warm you up hon," Nick whispered to her, and he wrapped his arms around her. "Thanks," Emilie smiled. "Now, let's really go inside?" "Of course!" Alecia laughed. "I'm going guys!" Drew told them. "I have to meet up with my roommate!" "Be by the phone Drew!" Billie told him. "I may be calling you sometime." "Sure," Drew laughed, as they said goodbye to him, and he headed across the white-covered lawn towards his dorm residence. "So, how was the Big Apple?" Alecia asked Emilie, as they headed into the residence. "Alecia, it's six," Billie reminded her. "We have dorm meeting now." "Oh Gawd!" Alecia got worried. "Come on guys." "Can we go?" Nick asked Emilie, and she nodded. They ran down the hallway of their floor, and into the recreation room, where most of the room was gathered. "Sorry!" Alecia apologized. "I was busy." "That's okay Alecia," someone said. "Hey Billie! Hi Emilie!" yelled their neighbour Caroline, as Nick entered, and a hush seemed to cover the room. "Yes, that is Nick Carter and AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys," Alecia told the room. "But, that doesn't matter." "Hi!" Caroline waved at them, and AJ waved back, grinning. "Okay, let's get started," Alecia told them. "Any problems?" "Yeah there is one," said a girl in the back. "How can we concentrate on mid-terms this week with two famous people in our dorm?" "Sosha, you are wrecked girl," Alecia shook her head. "Just pretend they aren't here." "We aren't staying here anyway," AJ said. "We are visiting Emilie and Billie." "Can you come visit me later AJ?" someone shouted. "Sure!" AJ responded, and the girl let out a cat call. "Knock it off ladies," Alecia laughed. "Ahem?" said Beau, one of the very few males on the floor. "And gentlemen!" Alecia winked at him. "Okay, any new business?" "Not really," Caroline responded. "Everything's been going pretty good since Kelsey moved out." "Don't mention that skank," Alecia rolled her eyes. "She was destined to ruin everyone's lives." "Well, can we go now Alecia?" asked a blond-haired girl. "I have some studying to do." "Sure," Alecia nodded in agreement. "Have a good week everybody. Come see me if you have any problems." "That was fast," AJ commented, as he followed Billie out of the dorm. "Thank goodness," Billie responded. "Sometimes those meetings last for hours. Besides, everyone's tired. I'm going to bed everyone." "Me too," AJ teased her, and Billie just rolled her eyes. "Are you tired Em?" Nick asked her. "A little," she answered, yawning. "I'm okay though." "We can go Em," AJ told her. "No, stay," Emilie told them. "Come back to my room. Billie's just going to have live with it." "Do you think I really annoy her?" AJ asked Emilie. "Nah, she just gets bitchy sometimes," Emilie responded, as Caroline ran up to them. "I have to say hi!" she told them. "Can I have an autograph?" "Sure!" AJ grinned, as he signed her paper, and gave her a hug. "Here's my room," Emilie said, as she opened the door to reveal Billie in her silk nightie and matching robe. "Emilie!" Billie complained, ducking into bed. "You should warn me." "You look good," AJ teased her, and Billie glared at him. "Sorry, sorry." "AJ, you are really annoying," Billie snapped, as she slumped in her bed, and put on her walkman. "Emilie, please get them out. I'm tired." "Fine," Emilie nodded. "This is my dorm room guys." They exited out the door, as AJ became worried. "Does she really dislike me?" AJ asked Emilie. "Who really gives a crap," Nick commented. "Her opinion of you doesn't matter." "Maybe we should be going," AJ suggested. "Yeah," Nick nodded. "Em, we'd better go. We'll take the limo back to the motel." "Wait, I'm coming with you," Emilie told them. "I don't have class until tomorrow afternoon, and Billie's going to be miserable all morning tomorrow, and I don't want to be around her." "Okay," Nick nodded, as she disappeared to grab some stuff for the night. Emilie saw Billie looking through Cosmopolitan magazine. "Thanks Billie for making my friends feel so welcome," Emilie told her sarcastically, as she packed some clothes. "Whatever Emilie," Billie snapped back. "AJ is annoying." "He's just teasing you," Emilie responded. "Maybe you should really talk to him before you judge him." "I know what he's like," Billie answered. "Nick's cool though. Em, I'm really glad you are back together." "Thanks," Emilie nodded. "I'm going to their motel for the night." "Why?" Billie asked curiously. "Because I want to be with Nick," Emilie answered, offering her a smile. "So, you're going to?" Billie's eyes almost popped out of her head. "No!" Emilie cried. "I will not until I get married Billie. Geez!" "Are you getting your own room?" Billie asked. "No, I'll stay in the same bed as Nick, but we won't do anything," Emilie replied, as she walked out the door. "Bye Billie." "Ready to go?" Nick asked her, and she nodded. "How's Billie now?" AJ wanted to know. "Fine," Emilie replied, as Nick put an around her shoulders. "Do you guys mind if I stay with you?" "Nope, I'm getting my own room," AJ informed them. "Why AJ?" Emilie shrieked. "Nick and I don't need our own room." "Wait, you guys aren't?" AJ asked, shocked. "I assumed you were since you spent the night together last night." "Brian was in the room," Emilie argued. "Why does everyone assume this?" "Em, I was just-," AJ looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry." "It's okay," Emilie assured him. "Right Nick?" "Yeah," Nick nodded. "I'm waiting until we're really ready." "Until I get married," Emilie informed him. "That's my personal decision." "I respect it," Nick told her, as they headed out into the snow. "Thanks," Emilie told him, as she gave him a big hug. "AJ, are you sure you don't mind?" "Not at all," AJ assured her. "Our relationship is getting too emotional." "Things are changing," Emilie commented, as they stepped into the limo. "I feel as if I really lost touch with you guys over the last few months." "Why is that?" Nick asked. "Well, when you and I weren't dating, I figured you guys and I would majorly drift apart," Emilie told honestly, as she felt tears come to her eyes. "Nick, you weren't just my boyfriend, but all of you guys are so precious to me." "Em, we would never forget you," AJ assured her. "Just because relationships change, friendships stay forever." "I know," Emilie nodded. "I just always need reassurance." "Em, I love you, we all do," Nick told her, as he wrapped an arm around her. "You could move to China, and we'd still love you." "After all your success, I am surprised you'll associate with me," Emilie told him. "I'm not exactly popular." "Emilie, how can you say that?" Nick asked her. "I love you so much." "Yeah Em," AJ agreed with Nick. "You are awesome. Don't even say that about yourself." "It's true," Emilie replied, as tears came spilling down her face. "Hold on," Nick said, as he dialed his cell phone. "Brian, can you please tell Emilie she is not a damn loser!" "Nick!" Emilie cried. "Please!" Nick gave her the phone. "Emilie? What's up Hon?" Brian asked her. "Nothing really Brian," she answered, as more tears came to her eyes. "I-I don't know." "Em, are you really okay?" Brian asked concerned. "Not really Brian," Emilie cried. "I hate myself." "Em, please, don't hate yourself," Brian said. "Why do you?" "Because I'm fat and ugly," Emilie whispered. "Admit it Brian. It's true." "First of all, you are not and you are not ugly," Brian told her. "Em, you know you aren't, and if you were, which you aren't, that doesn't matter." "Brian, I wonder at night why you guys even like me," Emilie whispered. "Because you are nice, you are kind, and you are caring," Brian told her. "Not everyone can be as great as you Em." "But Brian, I feel so, ugh...," Emilie shook her head. "I'm sorry Brian. I'm probably interrupting your dinner." "You are not," Brian told her. "I am always available to talk Emilie. Call me anytime." "Thanks Brian," Emilie answered, as tears came to her eyes once more. "I'd better go. Sorry again." "Don't be sorry Hon," Brian told her. "I love ya, now have fun with those two. Don't let them drive you insane!" "I won't, love you too B-Rok," Emilie ended the phone call, and handed it back to Nick. "Don't make me call Howie and Kevin Emilie," Nick warned her. "No more bashing yourself." "Whatever," Emilie shrugged her shoulders, as they arrived at the airport. "Some things are just true." "And the fact you are the most beautiful woman in the world is true!" Nick told her. "Now, Em, you are, and don't even try arguing with me, or AJ and I will tickle you until you become insane." "Fine!" Emilie agreed, as they walked into the lobby and AJ headed to check them in. "Are you sure you don't want your own room?" Nick asked her. "Actually Nick, I just want to be with you," Emilie told him. "I need you a lot right now." "I need you too," Nick pulled her close.... *Hey fans! Guess what?! I just got back from seeing BSB in Toronto. It was so much fun. I loved the show. My first concert and all I can say is-wow! ;). Hmm...my favourite part was when they sang Perfect Fan. It was awesome. The guys were so sweet to the daughters and the mom's and daughters kept hugging. It made me wish my mom came to the concert with me. I would have definitely been hugging her. Kudos out to Kevin for remembering Canada's Remembrance Day and for requesting a moment of silence. That was so nice of him to do. We love ya Kev! Nick--his speech was the sweetest ever. He was so caring and he expressed how much he loves us fans. So, don't think Nick doesn't love you! He does! All the guys do! The guys were also recently granted with a huge honour from the Make-A-Wish Foundation for being Grant Wishers of the year. Way to go guys! You know, that is probably the charity I support the most. As you know, I featured it in Chapter Ten of my story. I hope I can help that charity out anyway I can. It's a great cause. :). Hmm...what else about the concert? Oh, the fact that I already miss them. I had so much fun. Well, I'd better go! I love you all. Keep e-mailing me! I love receiving your e-mails! Always, Emilie* Next: Chapter 6 -FanFics -Home
