Nick waved to the audience, and scooted off stage. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, and grabbed a towel from the table beside the soundboard. "Good show Nick!" Becki clapped him on the back. He smiled at her, and continued down the hall, knowing how important it was for them to make it out to the bus before people got out of the stadium. Two halls merged, and he spotted the other guys just ahead of him, grabbing their bags. "Bri, wait up!" he called, and jogged towards Brian. Nick scooped his bag off of the floor, and caught up with his bud. "That was a pretty good show" Nick smiled, remembering Brian's little accident. Brian glowered. "Yeah, I'm sure the whole world loved watching me fall on my ass 6 times, in the water from your water bottle" "Sorry dude, but ya know it's hard to put the lid back on in a rush" Nick smothered a laugh. Brian smiled faintly, and opened his mouth to speak when Donna's voice echoed down the hall behind them. "Nick!" she called. "Nick!" Nick groaned, and held his hand up. "Second" he mumbled to Brian, and turned to face Donna. "I forgot to tell you" Donna panted when she caught up "That I'm dead serious about what I said earlier. If Denise or I find out you and Kristy have been……you know" she trailed off, and looked at Brian, who stared at the floor, pretending not to be listening. "She's off the tour" Donna finished firmly. "Kristy'll have to leave. I need you to tell Kristy that too, cause I'm flying out tonight. So I trust you to tell her." She nodded to the two of them. "Bye guys" she finished with a smile, and turned back down the hall. "What was that all about?" Brian asked when Donna was out of earshot. Nick rolled his eyes, embarrassed. "Donna walked in when me and Kristy were, uh, fooling around earlier" Nick cringed at the memory. "She made me promise no sex, but I guess she hasn't seen Kristy at all tonight, so I'm gonna have to tell Kris" Brian smirked. "You and Kristy are pretty friendly" he pointed out. Nick flushed, and pushed open the door. "Yea, well" he said to Brian, and started to run towards the bus. "It's them!" a female voice shrieked. "Shit!" Nick thought, and sped up. He pushed open the door on the bus, and Brian shoved it shut behind them. He clicked the lock, and sighed in relief. He and Brian wandered down the aisle as the bus pulled out of the parking lot. Once in the back room, Nick flopped onto the couch next to Kristy. She stirred slightly in her sleep. Howie and AJ glanced over at Nick, and shot him a look that said "She asleep." "A little late guys" Nick thought wryly as Kristy gazed up at him. "Hey" she murmured, her voice thick with sleep. "Hi" he whispered back. The others tried to make it look like they weren't paying attention to them, but the guys were curious as hell about Nick and Kristy. She crawled across the couch, and settled into his lap. Kristy rested her head against his chest, and was lulled back to sleep by the beating of Nick's heart. Instinctivly Nick slipped his arms around Kristy, and followed suit.
