The Girl Who Hated The Backstreet Boys(A Nick and Aaron Carter Fanfiction)

Chapter Eleven- Can I Tell You A Secret About Boys?

*Time Skip To 2001*

(Hannah) Today is my 13th birthday my golden birthday on July 13, 2001, and I have a whole table of gifts from Backstreet Boys. But Howie said my favorite presents have not arrived in the mail yet so I have to wait just a bit longer for it.

"Okay Hannah, your two surprises are here now so now you can open your eyes!" Nick says.

When I open my eyes my celebrity crush from my favorite band called Hanson, Taylor Hanson is standing right in front of me. I scream and jump up and down, "OMG someone kill me now, please! How did you get here and how did you know that I existed?!"

"Your sister Sadie told me all about your crush on me and by the way here's your present." 

I open the package and start screaming as I see all of my CD's and posters signed. I put my box on the table and hug Taylor Hanson saying, "Will you stay for cake and presents?!"

"I have to get back to my band rehearsal. So I can't stay but Happy Birthday Hannah, and if you ever want concert tickets just say the words!"

I smile and after Taylor leaves, I hug my sister and all of the Backstreet Boys, going to the end of the line of BSB's I see my favorite Backstreet Boy. Baby Backstreet. 

He smirks at me and says, "So Hannah, you're thirteen today. Dang it that makes you older than me!"

"Yeah, so technically that means you have to do what I say, Aaron Carter!"

To my surprise, he hugs me up close he smells like vanilla and salt from the ocean, there's something about him holding me that makes me feel safe.

"Happy Birthday Ana!" he murmurs in my ear before he then pulls away.

My cheeks are pink when my mom brings the cake and burgers out due to Aaron being really sweet. My dad brings the extra items and sets them on the counter for us to all take and use if we need to, once Aaron and I have gotten our lunch we go outside.

"So how have you been best friend Hannah?"

"Fine Aaron. What about you how's life been treating you?" 

He shrugs and opens his bottle of Coke before setting it down next to him and grabbing my bottle of Sundrop opening it. 

"It's been pretty chill lately I've been watching lots of Scooby-Doo and Nickeloden but also playing basketball and Nintendo with Nick a lot."

I take a sip of my soda as Aaron smirks at me and steals a chip from my plate dunking it in the dip on my plate.

"Aaron, how dare you! You've got food on your own plate. So why steal mine?"

"Because Hannah Cabana, you have...uh..." I watch his cheeks turning pink and giggle before saying, "It's chill Air Boy, I was only joking."

Suddenly some hair comes out from my space buns and he tucks the strands behind my ears brushing his fingertips over my cheeks in the process.

"I...you look really nice today Hannah, like uh...prettier than normal. Wait no not that! You're always beautiful inside and out, I don't mean to sound like such a jerk today. I'm just nervous!"

I smile eating some more of my B-Day lunch letting it all just sink in, before saying, "Aaron, you're super cute when you get all awkward and stumble over your words."

Sometime later after we are finished eating lunch and waiting to open my gifts and eat cake, we are lying on the grass watching the clouds and finding the shapes in them. I sit up quickly resting my head on Aaron's chest as he'd already sat up, without warning Aaron wraps his arms around me holding me against him. I smile closing my eyes and snuggling into him sighing as I find myself content.

"I like you, Aaron, really like you." I murmur. 

He laughs and I can feel my cheeks burn with shame, opening my eyes I see Nick and Tyler making out rather passionately. I'd always thought that Aaron would feel the same about me but I must have been wrong, after all, he did laugh at me when I told him. I peel his arms off of me and he watches me getting up with me an apologetic on his face. 

"Hannah, wait! I'm sorry I laughed it wasn't at you, I swear it!"

His words almost make me stop but I keep walking because it still hurt. 

"Hey, Tyler, and Nick, where's my sister?" They stop kissing for a moment to have Nick say, "In the garage kissing Howie with lots of tongue!" 

I gag and walk into the garage and sure enough, my sister and her boyfriend are kissing like they are gonna take their clothes off at any moment. I clear my throat and they both jump apart right before I begin to cry. Sadie and Howie rush over to me and hug me tightly before Howie pulls away. 

"Shh...Hannah, what's the matter?"

"I told Aaron that I have feelings for him and he laughed at me, it hurt me, Sadie!"

"Can I tell you a little secret about boys at this age Hannah?" I nod and she sits me down on the step taking my hands in hers saying, "When boys are your age or at least twelve like Aaron is, sometimes instead of just admitting that they like a girl they do something stupid. So when Aaron laughed he wasn't laughing at you, he was laughing because he returns those feelings that you have for him. My point is that he doesn't know how to handle his new feelings about you Ana, so he got nervous and laughed. Not at you but at himself for being so awkward in front of you! Does that make sense?"

I nod thanking my sister and saying, "How do you know if he likes me or not Sade?!"

"I see the way he looks at you, his cringy but cute attempts to flirt with you, he goes out of his way to do simple tasks for you that you can do on your own, he looks out for you by tucking loose pieces of hair behind your ears, and my favorite thing is how he'll pull you close and cuddle you."

"Have you been spying on us Sadie Elizabeth?" 

"Yes and no sometimes Aaron does sweet things in front of everyone but usually when you two are together he starts to get bolder in his attempts at flirting by being extra sweet on you."

"Hannah, there you are I was wondering what happened to you!" Aaron says.
