Mr. and Mrs. Carter: Anywhere for You

Chapter 24

May 17, 1999 New York, New York
BRIAN'S POV
One more day. One more day until Millennium would be released. I Want It That Way has gotten a whole bunch of attention. The single was selling so many copies, it was insane.

We were at a luxury hotel in New York, which was incredibly private, which was nice. Fans couldn't bombard the area, so we couldn't get kicked out. I decided to go and hang out with Kevin, since I was bored. AJ and Howie were sharing a room, Nick was somewhere, maybe with Lili but I didn't know. Kevin's room was on a separate floor from mine.

I was on the first floor, I had a fear of heights. He was on the fifth. I took the elevator and held on to the bar railing, for fear that it would drop. Thankfully, it didn't. I went over to Kevin's room, and passed Lili on the way. Her cheeks were flushed, and she stormed passed me without a word.

"Hey-" I ended up turning in a full circle. She didn't hear me, she entered her hotel room which was four doors away from Kevin's and slammed the door. What was that all about? Please tell me Nick didn't do something stupid to get her mad.

But then again, she's never gotten angry at Nick. He could murder someone and she probably still wouldn't be mad. Talk about loyalty.

"Brian?" Kevin's head pokes out. "Who slammed the door?"

"Lili." I pointed to her door. His brows furrowed. "Why?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. She just walked by really fast all mad and slammed the door. And where's Nick?"

Kevin pointed inside. "He's in here with me. Come in." he opened the door and I went in. Nick was playing on his Nintendo.

"Hey Frack." I greeted. Nick didn't acknowledge me, he was immersed in the game. He kept jumping from side to side when his character did. He was pretty much mimicking the actions. It was entertaining to watch, until his character kicked, which he did as well, but his foot kicked me in the leg.

"Owww!" I clutched my calf. Nick had a strong kick.

"Jesus Kevin, move then." Nick said, still moving.

"It's not Kevin you prick. It's Brian." I groaned, rubbing my leg.

"Huh?" Nick finally looked up from his game. "Damn, you made me lose." he whined, looking at the screen which said game over. I rolled my eyes.

"Anyways, why are you in Kevin's room playing games?" I asked. Nick sighed.

"Cause this rich old lady threatened to report me for being too loud." he rolled his eyes. I looked at Kevin and snickered.

"So that's why you've come to bother poor Kevin?" I giggled. Nick grinned.

"Yeah, but Kevin loves me. Right Kevsters?" he looked at Kevin expectantly. Kevin scoffed.

"Sure kiddo."

"Damn." Nick whined.

Typical of Kevin.

If he loves you, he'll admit to everyone but you. Nick started putting away his Nintendo stuff. Kevin watched him. When he was done, Kevin spoke up.

"Nick, you might wanna talk to Lili." he said.

"For what?" Nick pushed his hair out of his face. Kevin looked at me.

"Tell him what you saw Brian."

I looked up from eating chips. "What?"

Kevin rolled his eyes and repeated his statement.

"Oh." I swallowed the chips and told Nick what had happened earlier in the hall.
