It's been 2 years since AJ and Anna had seen one another. Ever since she left him at the airport that sad and weary day, they hadn't spoken, or seen each other. Although every time AJ and the rest of the fella's were down in L.A. all five of them would keep an eye out for her. Brian had even gone as far as searching for her, with out AJ knowing of course. AJ would always say, "Anna, Anna who? I don't even know who your talking about" Or he would just become uncontrollable and destroy anything in his range, when anyone would mention her to him. Because in truth AJ couldn't deal with it. He was hurt, and no one seemed to understand his pain. Yeah, he tried dating, but nothing seemed the same and he lost all respect for the opposite sex. He used them, and the guys were sick of it. Sometimes if he was in one of his moods, he would insult their girl friends. Nick for one, was sick of his attitude and made plans for him and Elaine (his g/f) to look for Anna the next time they were in L.A. He knew when AJ found out he would be really angry but it had to be better then how it was now. If he saw Anna maybe things would go back, and he would be his old self.

Anna went by the name Ally now, trying to insure that she wouldn't be found. She knew if she didn't, Brian, Nick or any of the other guys would come looking for her and she really wasn't ready to listen to them. It would only link her back to her old life, not that it was any worse then her new one. She had a great job and that probably was the only thing going for her. Ely moved down with her from N.C. when she heard that Anna left Orlando. Ely even told her to go back and see AJ. But Anna would always through Ely's problem with Nick in her face, and that shut her up quickly.

AJ sat in the back of the tour bus quietly, he was mad and relieved all at the same time. His girlfriend just told him she didn't want to see him anymore, and that was fine with AJ. The thing was she was sleeping with one of his good friends behind his back. And now he lost his friend for good. He hated these dumb Bitches who only used him for fame. Andi and him were seeing each other for quiet some time now. Every one thought they were serious but in fact that was the farthest thing from the truth. He would sleep with other girls on tour and didn't even think twice about it.

Nick walked in and sat down next to him. He picked up the controller that was dangling from the little table in front of them, And turned on the N 64.

"Nick, I came back here to get away from every one! Leave."

"No AJ, I'm sick of your shit!!! and so is every one else! You leave!"

"Nick DON'T, I repeat DON'T piss me off!!" he spat in his face.

"Oh, what? That's possible, I thought you were always pissed off?!?!"

AJ was furious, he didn't need to hear this from him right now.

"Come on AJ, I know you want to just break down and cry! We all know it, your cracking AJ, your not as tough as you lead us to believe." He antagonized. Nick was right, and his words drove into his heart like a knife. AJ was tempted to just through Nick to the floor and beat the living shit out of him, but he held back until Nick added something that drove him straight over the edge .

"I can't believe Anna has done this to you, look what she's done..... no wonder you hate her so. What a cold hearted bitch she is!!" Nick echoed inside AJ's head, Nick didn't mean his words, he just wanted AJ to break down and make him grieve and get over himself. It sent AJ over the edge but instead of crying, he threw Nick to the floor and started beating the living hell out of him. AJ hated himself, he hated his life everything about it, and everything he was feeling came out threw his anger and frustration on Nick. Nick got up and grabbed AJ throwing him to the floor and jumped down on him, his hands had a firm grip on AJ's shoulders, shaking him.

"AJ get over it!!! Why don't you just stop pretending!!" Nick repeated over and over again. But his plan wasn't working, AJ wasn't breaking down, if anything he was only building up more anguish. He knew just what would make him crack. He didn't want to say it but he knew he had to.

"AJ your pathetic....All this over some stupid little bitch, that's what she is, that's what all girls are to you, dumb bitches, Anna is nothing but a stupid whore of a bitch!!! She will never love you! She's a fucking whore, me and you both know it!" AJ turned the brightest red Nick had ever seen, and his eyes welled up with tears. He was breaking, but not before he got a good punch in. AJ freed his arm and pulled it up, with all his might he brought it back and got a good clear punch straight across Nick's face.

"Don't Ever fucking say that!!!!!" he screamed as the tears fell freely for the first time in 2 years. AJ freed himself and got up running out of the room and into his bunk. Nick slowly got up. Rubbing his cheek gently, he walked into the kitchen.

"Did you do it?" Came Brian's eager voice.

"Yeah....." Nick replied, not looking up once.

"Nick, buddy, don't feel bad, it needed to be done! AJ will be a better person from this. Just give it some time."

"Yeah I know, but you should have seen him, it wasn't right." he said grabbing a soda and lifting it to his swollen cheek.

"He'll thank you for it later!"

"Brian you don't know what your talking about, you didn't see it!"

"See what?"

"The hatred in his eyes! It was like a bad horror movie."

"Hahaha, Nick you crack me up!" Brian laughed, as he patted his friend on the back and exited the room. Nick rolled his eyes and went to sit on the couch.

"Yo Frack! Elaine's looking for you!" Kevin yelled from outside the bus. Nick walked over and opened the door to find his girlfriend standing in front of him.

"Good god Nicky, what happened to you? You have to perform tonight!!!"

"I know Lana..." he sighed and walked back to the couch.

"Anna wait up!!!" Ely sighed trying to catch her breath.

"Dude! Don't call me that in public." Anna huffed.

"It's not like anyone know's who you are anyways."

"So, I don't care! It's not may name any more." she replied and quickly dashed into bath and body works. She quickly grabbed her favorite lotion, Juniper Breeze and brought it to the counter. She paid for it and walked out of the store.

"When did you start that?!?!"Anna asked, referring to her friend pacing back and forth with a cigarette in her hand.

"Well, lets see, probably when I moved in with you!"

"Haha your soo funny!" she laughed fakely, as the two walked to the car.

"Look Anna.."

"ALLY!" she snapped.

"Ok, ok, Ally... I have tickets to a concert tonight, do you want to come?"

"Uh...I guess, who is it?" she asked as she started up the car.

Ely sat there pondering her thoughts, ‘what should I tell her?' she wondered.

"Erm, A new group.... I don't remember their name, their suppose to be real good though. I got the tickets free."

"Oh...sounds fun." She smiled fiddling with the radio stations.

"Ok, it's settled then."

The two girls quickly drove home to get ready for the concert since it started at 6:00 and it was 4:30 now. Ely ran up the stairs to look out something to wear. Thinking there might be some suitable guys there, she threw on a pair of tight black suede pants and a boat neck yellow sparkly tank top. Her light blonde hair was scrunched just below her shoulders. She walked down stairs to find Anna already ready. She had on a pair of tight light blue jeans, and a white t shirt that said Sexy in sequins. It showed her whole mid drift. Her dark blonde hair fell just below her shoulders in curls. She looked dead gorgeous.

"God girl!! You'll be sure to attract some attention in that outfit!"

"That's the point! She laughed. "Hopefully these guys are hot, maybe they'll notice,"she grinned, raising her eyebrows up and down.

"No doubt!" Ely laughed

‘Ally' and Ely jumped in their car and drove down the street in search of the large venue. They arrived 20 minutes later and searched for a parking space. The two girls jumped out of the car locking there doors behind them.

"This ought ta be fun!" Ely giggled to herself.

Anna excavated the parking lot, reading all the sign's that were plastered to peoples car doors.

"No way!!!! Ely you bitch!!! I cant go in there! Come on were going home! I cant believe you did this to me." she screamed.

"Oh Anna lighten up!!!"

"ALLY, DAMN IT!!!!"

"Ok, if your Ally then why cant she come to one simple concert."

"Fuck you, Ely!!!"

"Come on ‘Ally' it's been two years, he's forgotten you!"

Anna fumed with anger, she lifted her hand and smacked her friend across the face.

"God damn Anna! They wont even notice you!" she said rubbing her cheek that had already started to become a bright red color.

"Look Ely, you don't understand!"

"Bull shit, I understand, it's been two years today! Big flipping deal!"

Anna had tears welled up in her eyes, this was the last thing she wanted or needed right now. Ely gave her a friendly hug then pulled her away.

"Come on Anna it will be fun, haven't you wondered what the guys are up to now?"

"Sure I have,"

"Then what are you waiting for!" Ely replied and pulled her through the entrance handing their tickets to the guard. They made their way through the packed stadium all the way to the front row, right in the middle.

"Omg, they wont notice us, my ass!!!!"

"Look at the crowd there are probably lots of people that look like you and me." Anna sighed. The light's lit up the stadium and the music began to blare. The guys dancers came out dancing in each of there spots, then the guys made their way out.

After about the fourth song Anna lighten up and was dancing and trying to sing along to the unfamiliar lyrics. Ely laughed at her friend, it was nice seeing her happy for once.

"What the hell was that?" Came Kevin's angry voice.

"Sorry! I spaced!" he growled and left the room.

"God damn it! You had to do it today, didn't you?" Kevin replied looking over at Brian and Nick.

"Yeah, it was now or never!" Brian replied, hooking on his microphone.

"You guys are morons! Don't you know it's been exactly two years today since Anna left him?!?!" He hissed.

Brian and Nick's jaw dropped.

"Omg.... I told you it was a bad Idea rok!"Nick glared at Brian.

"How was I suppose to know!"

"Come on, it's show time!" Howie interrupted.
