Prologue |
"Good night Kev." Brian said to his cousin as he climbed into his bunk on the Backstreet Boys tour bus. "Good night Bri." The boys had been touring all over the states for the summer part of the Black&Blue Tour. Kevin and Brian, after a session of song writing decided to go to sleep, for some much needed rest. Nick was in the back room playing his Playstation2 with Aj, and Howie was still in the kitchen area writing songs. Howie turned his head and rubbed his eyes. He was begining to get sleepy. He looked out the window at the passing trees of the deserted highways of the Pennsylvania backways. "I know a shortcut!" the bus driver Frank had told them. "Shortcut my ass." Howie thought to himself. They were supposed to be back in civilization by now. Howie stood up and stretched his tired limbs. He walked to the front of the bus and took a seat next to the driver. "How much longer would you say it would be till we get to the hotel Frank?" "Oh, not to much longer now. Aren't ya glad i know that these back roads were here?" Frank said taking his eyes off the road to smile at Howie. "Yeah, we sure... OMG Frank look out!!" Frank hurriedly looked at the road to see a girl standing in the middle of the road. He swerved hard to the left and hit the brakes, the bus jerked onto it's two right wheels and toppled over. Crashing to the ground with a large metal scraping thud. Brian and Kevin were thrown from the bunks and landed on the floor as the bunks began to tip over. Nick was pitched into the bathroom at the end of the bus, as the door slammed shut. Aj flew into the side of the bus and dropped to the floor. He slid down the end of the hall, and banged into the bathroom door, making a huge cracking sound. Howie and Frank were thrown onto the right side of the bus and then were jerked backwards as the bus continued to slide fowards. As the bus slid to a hault, Howie and Frank were launched through the windshield. Frank's body slammed into the ground and slid across the pavement, stopping 20 feet away. Howie was thrown into the nearby field across the street. Howie slowly opened his eyes. 'How did i get outside?' he thought to himself. He turned his head to the side. His eyes widened as he saw the bus on it's side a few yards away. All of a sudden a twig snapped from somewhere in the field. Howie turned his head sharply around towards the noise from the opposite direction of the wreck. He groaned and closed his eyes as his head began throbbing from the sudden movement. When he opened his eyes once again, he saw a woman approaching him. She was 5'4", with long black hair, light brown eyes, and a majestic presence about her. Her eyes were the last thing Howie saw. He shut his eyes once again and his world went dark. |
