A Gift For Two

written by:Marion

Just as Joy and her best friend Marie stepped of the plane, there we a bunch of girls everywhere. The two 18 years old girls moved from Seattle to Orlando. They were planning to take a year off before starting college.

"What the hell is all of this commotion about?" Joy looked around at the screaming girls. Some of them were actually crying. "Who the heck are the Backstreet Boys?" Marie looked at the banners and signs that all of the girls were holding.

All of a sudden, the girls started rushing over to the plane. They crowded all around Joy and Marie, stopping them from going anywhere. "Joy! Hold onto my hands!" Marie reached for her best friend. "Okay!"

The two girls held onto each other, but somehow they were both beaten down by all the fans. They were stumbled on and both were flat on the floor. All the fans rushed through them. They finally got up on their feet and looked back at the plane.

They saw 5 guys running out, each with a bodyguard holding onto their arms. "I don't see what's so good about them," Joy thought to herself. She was glaring at the 5 guys. "Oh my god Joy! You're bleeding!" Marie looked at her arm, which was bleeding uncontrollably. She had scraps and scratches all over her arms with shoe marks on her clothes. "Oh. I'll be fine," Joy used her other hand and covered the bleeding.

They were still standing there just as the guys were about to walk by them. AJ walked by Joy and saw her bleeding. Blood was coming out between her fingers. He could tell that she wasn't a fan, for one thing, she wasn't screaming. He ran up to her. "Are you okay?" He looked at her arm. "Yeah, until you guys came along!" she snapped at him. "Come on... " AJ put his arm around her waist and carried her suitcase with his other arm. "Nick! Take her!" AJ called for Nick and pointed at Marie.

Nick looked over at Marie, his eyes widen. "Damn.. She's fine," he thought. "He looks like a Momma's boy!" Marie thought. "Come on!" Nick grabbed her hand, and by this time, they were all running. A van door slide open and everyone hoped in. When they got settled in, AJ took a look at Joy's arm. "You're bleeding too much," AJ took his shirt and covered her cut. "OH....no...." She mumbled but it was too late, AJ had already covered her cut with his shirt. Marie sat there in silence. She didn't' liked to be around them. She thought that they were stuck ups and snobs. She glared at Nick and everyone else. "Joy, are you okay? Did you stop bleeding yet?" Marie looked over at the seat in front of her. "Don't worry Marie, it'll stop." "We're really sorry that our fans did this to you," Kevin apologized. "It's okay, we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time," Joy answered and stared at how AJ was holding her arm tight and still covering her cut to stop the bleeding.

Marie looked around and saw Brian, Howie, and Nick sleeping. "Awwwww.... he looks so adorable ... look at the way he's sleeping," Marie thought to herself.

The van made a turn and Nick's head fell over to Marie's shoulder. AJ looked up at Joy. Their eyes connected and a smile came across both of their faces. They didn't say anything to each other. Nick continued to sleep in Marie's shoulder. He then got a little too comfortable and wrapped his arm around her. "OH my god! Is this his way of making a move on me? This is lame! But I like it..." she smiled at Nick.
