The next morning, Nick and Tara got out of bed, and cleaned the cabin up from the mess that they made during the week.
"So which one of us is going to make the bed?" Tara grinned at Nick, who was packing his bags.
"Im not really good at that, Aaron always has to make our beds" Nick said.
"Alright, I'll do it! But, you can help me! If we're going to live together, we're both going to do stuff around the house!" Tara said. Nick grinned back at Tara and then he walked over to the bed and helped her make it.
After they were finished cleaning the cabin, they packed up the van and stood out back by the lake.
"We have to get one last picture!" Nick said, and then he set his camera up and placed it on the table outside. Nick ran over to Tara, stood behind her, wrapped his arms around her and put his head along side hers. The camera flashed, and the picture was done.
"Im going to want a copy of that!" Tara said, giving Nick a kiss. Nick and Tara climbed in the van, and headed over to the Lake of Two Rivers campground, where AJ and Karine were trying to set down their camp.
"hey guys!" Karine said, waving to Tara and Nick as the pulled into the site.
"need some help?" Tara asked Karine.
"Sure!!" AJ replied. Nick and Tara helped Karine and AJ set down the dining shelter, the tent, and other clean up the site.
After packing things up in the van, they started the long journey home. AJ decided to drive Karine all the way back to Montreal, to spend some time with her at her Apartment, before going back to Florida. Nick drove Tara home to where she lived, in a town near Niagara Falls. When they arrived at Taras house, her mom and dad were watching TV.
"hey mom! Im home!" Tara said cheerfully.
"Hello!" Nick said, as he walked in with Tara.
"Hey Nick! Welcome back Tara!! How was the trip??" Taras mom asked as she gave Tara a hug.
"It was the best!" Tara replied.
"it was alot of fun" Nick said happily.
"Come on in and sit down" Taras mom suggested. Tara and Nick sat down on the couch, and Tara's mom talked to them about the camping.
Later, Tara and Nick unpacked Taras camp stuff, and then watched some TV. Nick slept the night over at Taras house. He slept in Taras room, on the bottom bunk of her bed, while Tara slept in the top bunk. Taras parents made them keep the door open, though.
"Your room is scaring me!" Nick joked, as he lied down on the bottom bunk, surrounded by Nick Carter posters and Backstreet Boys posters.
"How can you sleep in here?" Nick joked.
"Oh trust me! Its real easy! heheh" Tara said, laughing and smiling.
Nick and Tara stayed up late, watching TV in Taras room, then fell asleep.
AJ and Karine arrived in Montreal really late that night because it took a few more hours to get home than it did for Tara and Nick. When AJ and Karine arrived back at her apartment, Karines parents were gone on a trucking trip, and it she had the apartment all to herself.
"Come on in!" Karine said. AJ walked in the apartment and carried Karines stuff into her room.
"Did you want something to drink?" Karine asked AJ.
"yeah, hey do you have any beer?" AJ asked Karine. Karine looked at him funny, and then said "Yeah". Karine tossed AJ a beer, and then took a pop for herself. AJ and Karine sat down on her couch and watched the movie HALLOWEEN, which was playing on TV.
Karine made AJ some popcorn, and then made herself a sandwich. During the scary parts, AJ would pull Karine closer to him.
After the movie, Karine and AJ went to bed.
The next morning, AJ had to leave Karine to go to the airport to head back to Florida so the Backstreet Boys could work on their third album. AJ arranged the limo service to pick him and Karine up to go to the airport, and for the limo to bring Karine home afterwards.
At the airport, it was soo hard for Karine to say goodbye to AJ, and AJ was having trouble saying goodbye also.
"Karine, Im going to miss you soo much, baby!" AJ said to Karine, rubbing her arms with his hands.
"Alex! im going to miss you too! When are we going to see eachother again?" Karine asked.
"Well, we have about two weeks off in a month, so we will see eachother for sure then! You'll come to Florida! I'll fly you down" AJ suggested to Karine.
"Alright, I'll miss u until then!" Karine said sadly.
"I'll miss you too, K! But dont worry, we'll talk to eachother every day till then! It'll go by real fast!" AJ said.
"FLIGHT 2A457 TO ORLANDO IS NOW BOARDING" the telecome said.
"I have to go now, Karine!" AJ said, and then he took Karine into his arms and hugged her.
"I love you!" AJ said, and then he gave her a kiss. Karine kissed him back, and then said "I Love you too!" back to him. AJ slowly walked away from Karine, looking back at her until he was out of sight.
At Taras house, Nick's limo was arriving at Taras house any minute to pick Nick up to go to the airport.
"Tara, This is going to be the longest month in my life!" Nick said sadly to Tara.
"I know, I hope it goes by real quick, though! I cant wait to see you again!" Tara said. Nick and Tara sat in her room, kissing for awhile, and then they started talking again.
"This time in one month, we'll be moving you to Florida!" Nick said cheerfully, looking forward to the next month. "Then we will together EVERY night, morning, and day!" Nick said, hugging Tara tightly.
Tara gave Nick a kiss, and then told him that she couldnt wait to move in with him.
At around 1pm, Nicks limo arrived at her house, and it was time for Nick to go.
"I love you hun!! Im going to be thinking about you, ALL THE TIME! And im going to miss you like crazy!!" Nick said to Tara.
"Im already missing you like crazy" Tara said, starting to cry a bit.
Nick wiped Taras tears away and then kissed her cheek where they were, and then gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
"I love you" Nick said to Tara, holding her close to him.
"I love you too, Nick!" Tara said, and then they had one last final hug, and another passionate kiss, and then Nick left. On the way to the airport, in the limo by himself, Nick cried to himself, missing Tara already.
