Chapter 32 ~Melodramatic~ *Nearly 45 minutes Later* 'knock knock' "Oooh I wonder who that could be?" Kristina asked putting the last strand of Amanda's hair perfectly in place. "Kris do you have to be so melodramtic. You make it sound as if I haven't dated in over a year." Amanda said rolling her eyes. "Well come to think of it you haven't." "God do you have to be so specific." "Well yeah it just comes naturally, that and my melodramatic thing too." "You know, you and Nick are sooo much alike its not even funny." Amanda said standing up. "Love you too Amanda." Kristina said going to the door and opening it to reveal a very charming Lance Bass holding a single red rose. He was wearing a black tuxcedo with a white shirt underneath. His hair wasn't spiked like it normally was but was combed back, drawing more attention to his two best features, his eyes and his smile. "Hey come on in." Kristina said holding the door open for him. "Amanda will be out in a few seconds." "Thanks, I take it you helped her get ready?" "Yep, sure did. What would a best friend be without helping her get ready for a date?" "You've got a point there." At that time Amanda walked into the room, instantly making Lance's eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets when he saw her. "Pick your jaw off the floor." Kristina said laughing and reaching towards his jaw and closing his mouth.. "Bye Amanda I'm gonna be getting back to my room. Nick's probably bored by himself since he left his Nintedo on the bus." "Bye, thanks for helping out." Amanda said giving her a friendly hug. "Bye Amanda, bye Lance, you two kiddies have fun, and be sure to have her back before sunrise." Kristina winked and closed the door behind her, leaving Lance and Amanda shaking their heads. "You gotta love her." Amanda said sarcastically. "Yeah she's sweet, anyways are you ready to go?" "Yes, where are we going?" "You'll see, its a surprise." He said smiling at her. They walked downstairs and outside to the entrance of the hotel. Infront of them was a black limo waiting for departure to some unknown destination. *At the Same Time* Kristina was walking back to her room down the quiet hall. When she got to her door she saw Kevin standing there getting ready to knock on the door. "Kevin?" She said causing him to jump and look towards her with his sad eyes. "What's wrong?" "Can I talk to you?" He pleaded, which was unlike him to do. "Yeah of course, come on in." She said taking her key out and unlocking the door. "Hey baby, have fun with Amanda?" Nick asked from sitting on the couch. "Yeah I did, Lance's eyes nearly popped out.... Uh Nick could you cut the television off for awhile?" "Yeah, why?" He said finally looking up from the television to see Kevin standing behind Kristina. "Hey what's wrong man, you look like you haven't slept in days." "Isabelle is what's wrong." "Oh." Nick said watching them make their way to the couch and sit down. He looked at Kristina. Kristina gave Kevin a small hug. "What happened?" She asked simpathetically. *At the Same Time* Howie and Marissa had just arrived at the hotel. Traffic was still backed up. It took them twice the time it normally would to get back to the hotel. Howie got Marissa a room on the floor they were staying on. As the two lovers were about to hop into the elevator another couple hopped out. They were exchanging a small kiss. When the two broke away Howie's mouth formed into a small smile. He had saw Amanda and Lance's first kiss. When Amanda finally looked towards Howie she had a huge smile plastered on her face. She looked absolutely radiant. "Hi Howie!" She practiacally sang as Lance led her by the hand out the door to an awaiting black limo. All Howie could do was shake his head at the pair. They fit each other perfectly. He looked at Marissa who had a perplexed expression on her face. "Oh that's Amanda, she's part of the opening act, and I believe you already know who Lance Bass is." She nodded her head, indicating that she understood. "I guess those two are dating now." "I guess so. They make the cutest couple." She said smiling up at Howie. "You haven't seen cute. You should see who the rest of the boys are paired up with these days. Brian is dating a girl named Samantha, she's in the opening act. She is just perfect for him. They are so much alike. Nick is dating a girl named Kristina. She's only sixteen, but like he says love has no age. Those two are so much alike it is scary. They are both the youngest of the groups. And to top it off they're both blonde." "What about Alex and Kevin?" She asked as the elevator was still climbing to their floor. "AJ, Alex, whichever, is probably sitting with a girl named Jennifer, she's in the opening act. He has this major crush on her. Most of us think that she likes them too. She is wild and crazy like AJ, but has a balance and is perfect for him. And Kevin is in a delimma with one of the girls from the opening act. She just broke up with her abusive boyfriend and Kevin was there to help her. Their signals got crossed and she led Kevin to think that she liked him whenever she let him kiss her that night. So he's trying to analyze the situation right now." "Wow, it sounds like a lot of dilemmas going on. What about one of the girls, I heard on the news that one of them was in an accident the night before I left. Is that true?" "Yeah, Nick and Kristina were in an accident. Nick was only hurt minorly, but Kristina was knocked unconscience, they had to keep her for awhile until she finally woke up." "Is she okay?" Marissa asked putting her small hand over her mouth. "Yeah she's fine, she just needs to rest, and that's all Nick is letting her do." "Sounds like this girl is perfect for Nick just like you said she was." Finally they reached their floor and were silent as they walked down the quiet hallway. Howie walked her to her room, which was beside his. He helped her in and left, giving her some time to do what she needed to do. He went back to his room and ordered room service for him and Marissa later. Chapter 33
