“Bobby, are you and Eddie okay?” Ciara had talked to Jarod and when they were done, he gave the phone to Bobby.
“We’re okay, you okay?” he countered.
“I’m doing better. You take care of each other and listen to Jarod and Susie and if you want to talk to me, call me. Okay?”
“Jarod says to be happy and I promise. Love you… gotta go.” Bobby said and quickly hung up the phone. Ciara had just finished being on her phone for over three hours. She had called her therapist, Jarod and the boys, her assistant, her editor, and her publisher. Her life felt in balance again.
Rachel had gone online to check her email and catch up on her reading. They both loved fan fiction, but tried not to admit it too often.
Ciara was just about to get some more writing done when AJ called to let them know that the photo shoot was running behind schedule and for the girls to have lunch on their own. AJ also told Ciara that a car with security detail would come for the girls around four pm. Ciara said that was fine and that it would give her a chance to get some more writing done. She then handed her celly to Rachel and AJ handed his to Kevin so that Rachel and Kevin could talk.
“Okay C… before you get lost in your writing, let’s order lunch.” Rachel suggested after she and Kevin were finished. Ciara agreed. Once lunch was ordered, she dove into writing again.
”So AJ, what was Ciara screaming about last night?” Kevin asked.
“Bad dream. She didn’t want to discuss it. She’ll talk when she’s ready.” AJ and Kevin had moved away from Howie, Brian, and Nick to discuss the girls.
“I know. I shouldn’t be telling you this, but Rachel says the nightmares can get pretty bad.” Kevin wanted AJ to be prepared.
“Thanks. So what’s going on with you and Rachel? I though she and Brian would be the ones to get together.” AJ commented.
“She’s refreshing. Strong, intelligent, not too domineering, inquisitive, funny, challenging, and I love her laugh. It’s so contagious.” Kevin pictured Rachel’s face in front of him.
The guys continued to dish about the girls all through lunch. AJ deduced that Kevin was falling hard for Rachel and that it was totally unexpected.
“Kev… AJ… come check out the lounge.” Nick finally shouted after a few minutes of trying to get their attention by waving his arms and clearing this throat. They all had an hour or so to relax.
“Nick, are you feeling all right? You look a little flushed.” Kevin asked as they all walked back to the lounge.
AJ wished Ciara was with him. Now that they found each other after twelve years and many lies, he never wanted to be without her ever again. He was going to do everything he possibly could to keep her in his life forever more.
“Earth to AJ!” Brian had been playing checkers with AJ when AJ zoned out.
“Sorry… my turn?” AJ finally reacted to Brian’s voice.
“Where did you go?” Brian asked.
“Home again and I never thought I could go back ever again.” AJ replied. He was always told that home is where your heart is and his heart was with Ciara. Still.
The guys relaxed until sound check. Once theirs was over, their opening act set up.
“Hey guys, check out our opening act.” Howie said as the guys watched the roadies put up the keyboard and drums. The name of the act was The Replacement Wannabes.
“They’re a cover band of mostly eighties music.” Jamie explained, “They’re really hot here in Boston.”
“Sure they are.” AJ replied. `Anyone named The Replacement Wannabes just had to be trouble’, he thought.
I’m going to go see when the girls will get here. Excuse me.” AJ said. He was still upset with Jamie for trying to talk Ciara into recording the songs they sang the night before onto a maxi-CD single.
“You’re in luck. They’re on their way.” Max, one of their inner circle security team members, explained.
“I’ll be out next to the bus waiting for them.” AJ expressed as he walked by the guys and Jamie.
“Boy Jamie! What did you do to tick AJ off?” Kevin asked as AJ walked away from the group.”
“He’ll get over it.” Was Jamie’s response.
”The answer is no! I’m not singing again. I did last night as a favor to AJ and the guys. I’m not doing it again. I am not a singer.” Ciara was ambushed the second she and Rachel got into the limousine. “Does AJ know you’re here? Because if he did, you’d be in hot water.” Ciara was beyond mad.
“Hear me out… it would just be the four songs that you and AJ sang last night. Just you and AJ and the band backing you up and it would be billed as `Johnny No Name and Lady C’.” the record producer remained calm, which set Ciara off even more.
“Ciara… deep breadths.” Rachel said sternly. Ciara was flushed from being angry.
“Stop the limousine.” Ciara ordered. The producer didn’t budge. Rachel called Kevin’s cell phone.
”Rach… what’s wrong?” Kevin immediately answered the phone. He listened to Rachel explain what was happening.
“All right, all right. Call down. AJ and I will get to the bottom of this. Where are you?” Kevin asked. The girls had gotten out of the limousine and could see the Fleet Center. They were walking towards it. Kevin hung up with Rachel, then turned to Jamie.
“You just couldn’t respect their wishes, could you?” Kevin said before heading off to find AJ. Brian, Howie, and Nick were curious as to what happened. When Kevin reached AJ, AJ was on the phone.
“Ok, I’ll send Max out to meet you two. Are you all right?” AJ asked into the phone. Kevin assumed he was talking to Ciara.
“Yes AJ, we’re fine… just getting some exercise.” Ciara explained. She didn’t tell him what happened, just that she needed some fresh air so they decided to walk. Rachle took her phone from her.
“AJ, it’s Rachel. I told Kevin what happened. Ciara just doesn’t want to be any trouble. Ciara was ambushed by one of Jive’s record producers in the limousine. That’s why we got out of it.” Rachel told AJ the truth.
“Rachel!” Ciara begged Rachel to stop. By this time, the limousine had pulled in next to the bus.
“Rachel… Security will meet you. Max is on his way.” AJ hung up the phone. He waitined until the limousine door opened. “I though you should know… I’m not going onstage tonight.” AJ said before going over to Max and explaining what he needed Max to do.
“What the hell is going on?” the record producer asked.
“Kyle, we know what you tried to do to Ciara just now, and frankly, I’m not going on either.” Kevin stated. Brain, Nick, and Howie all backed Kevin and AJ up and declared that they weren’t going on either.
“Hear me out guys… please.” Kyle begged.
“No! If you can’t respect AL and Ciara’s wishes, then tonight is a washout. You want to go out there and tell the fans or should we?” Kevin stated.
“You win… you win.” Kyle said. AJ had come back over to the gang.
“Jamie’s fired. Get us someone else to do his job.” AJ stated, “and if anyone tries this again. I walk. Not just from performing, but from the label.” AJ left everyone standing next to the limousine as he went back on the bus to await Ciara.
The girls met up with Max and a few of the security detail just outside the entrance to the parking lot of the Fleet Center. Max had strict orders to take the girls straight to the bus.
Nothing was mentioned about the limousine. Kyle and Jamie were nowhere in sight when the girls arrived. They were ushered to the bus. All five guys were concerned and very apologetic about what happened.
“It’s okay guys. Can we just forget about it? Please?” Ciara asked. She just wanted the entire incident to be forgotten.
“So what all did you do today?” AJ asked Ciara to change the subject.
“The usual… harassed people on the phone, wrote lies about them and then gossiped about it all with everyone I possibly could.” She joked. Everyone laughed.
“You are wonderful.” AJ said and pulled her into a hug.
“How about some food?” There’s no meet and greet tonight so it’ll be a nice, long dinner hour.” Howie suggested. The gang all went to the dining area.
Howie’s family and Nick’s family were in the dining hall so everyone sat around and talked with them for awhile.
“Ciara Bryar!” Came a loud, booming voice from one end of the room. She recognized the voice instantly.
“Uncle Tony!” she looked at AJ. He nodded. She lit up. Uncle Tony was like a father to AJ. He wondered if Tony knew what happened. AJ followed behind Ciara as she ran to Tony.
“It’s so good to see you uncle Tony!” Ciara declared as they embraced.
“Same here little one. You look as beautiful as I imagined. AJ, son, you’re looking well. New tattoos?” The men exchanged nods of approval.
“Not lately. Have you talked to mom?” AJ asked.
“Both your moms called me. Ciara, hearing from your mom after all these years and finding out that you were still here is quite a shock. If I wasn’t here with you standing in front of me, I’d still be denying it.” Tony explained.
“So they lied to you too?” AJ asked. Uncle Tony nodded in response.
“Is my mom all right?” Ciara asked.
“Yes, she should be back home by now. Your stepdad is a great guy, Ciara. And AJ, your mom is sorry about all of this.”
“I know, I just need a day or two to calm down. So… can you stay?” AJ asked. Tony said he could. They joined the others and helped Rachel and Ciara get some more insight on the guys.
Before Ciara and Rachel could be put in the hot seat though, it was time for the guys to get ready and the opening act to take the stage.
After the concert, the guys received their itinerary for the following day. Ciara and Rachel boarded the bus with the guys to return to the hotel. Kevin, Rachel, Howie, and Brian decided to go out dancing. Nick wasn’t feeling very well so he opted to stay back and go to bed. Ciara and AJ ordered room service and talked.
Around two am, Nick knocked on the door.
“Nicky? What’s wrong?” AJ asked as soon as he saw his young friend.
“I really don’t feel well. Something’s wrong.” Nick replied. Ciara felt his forehead. He was burning up.
“Call Rachel. She’ll know what to do.” Ciara told AJ. She spit out Rachel’s cell phone number as she helped Nick to the couch. AJ got through right away to Rachel. She and the guys were on their way back to the hotel.
“They’ll be back any minute. Nick, buddy, what’s wrong?” AJ asked. Both he and Ciara were concerned about Nick. Ciara had gone to the bathroom and prepared a cool, wet washcloth to wipe down his face.
“Ache all over, can’t keep anything down and my right side is killing me. Can’t get warm.” Nick’s voice was cracking. His symptoms sounded like appendicitis to Ciara.
“I’m not waiting for Rachel. Nick, we need to get you to the hospital. How long have you been feeling this way?” Ciara asked as she called the front desk.
“A couple of days, but not as bad as now.” He admitted.
Ciara asked the front desk if they had a house doctor, when they said no, Ciara asked for them to call 911.
“911! Are you nuts? This will be all over the news by six am!” Nick cried out.
“I’d rather have this on there than them announcing your death, Nick. Now listen to Doctor Ciara!” AJ said sternly to Nick.
“AJ, can you carry Nick to the elevator?” Let’s meet the ambulance downstairs.” Ciara wanted to get Nick to the hospital as soon as possible. Without hesitation AJ scooped up Nick and carried him.
“You’ve lost weight pal.” AJ said to Nick.
“That’s what happens when you can’t keep anything down. Man, I ache.” Nick said. He rested his head on AJ’s shoulder as AJ held onto him in the elevator. They arrived on the first floor as the paramedics were waiting to take an elevator up to their floor. Rachel and the guys were just arriving back at the hotel.
Ciara repeated everything Nick had told her and AJ and what she and AJ had observed to the paramedics.
“I’m a nurse.” Rachel jumped right in to help the paramedics.
“Recuperation after emergency surgery of your appendix is necessary, Nick.” Rachel explained as Nick came to in recovery the next morning.
“How long?” Nick asked. They had moved him to his own room and had given him a sedative to sleep. Rachel said she’d stay with him until he did.
“Two to three weeks. Management has been notified. And the dates will be rescheduled for the tour. Ciara and I would like it if you stayed with us at our place on the outskirts of New York City.” Rachel expressed that she wanted to look after him.
“What do the guys think?” Nick asked. He didn’t like going for three weeks without seeing them.
“Well, depending on itinerary, Kevin and AJ said they’d like to come stay with us. Howie and Brian don’t know about the offer yet. C’mon Nick. It’ll do you good and Ciara and I don’t bite.” Rachel smiled.
“I’d like that. Thanks Rachel.” Nick said before drifting off to sleep. She went out to the waiting room where everyone else was.
“How’s he doing?” Brian asked.
“He’s going to be just fine.” Rachel told everyone. She then told everyone about what she and Nick talked about and invited Brian and Howie to join them all at the house.
After Ciara and AJ visited Nick, they headed back to the hotel to pack up their things and Nick’s. They were going back to the house to get it ready for everyone.
AJ managed to have both himself and Nick packed before Ciara was ready to go.
“Hey slow poke!” AJ teased from the doorway.
“You can’t be done already!” she laughed as she looked at AJ standing in the doorway.
“Being on the road a lot, you learn to pack and never to unpack.” He laughed.
“I’ll just be a few more minutes. We’re not going to be late for the plane, are we?” she asked.
“No, we’ll make it.” He said as a bell hop arrived to help with their bags. Ciara finished zipping up her bags and handed them to AJ.
”Welcome to my humble abode.” Ciara said that evening when they had arrived at her country Victorian home. AJ looked around the foyer. The home was huge. Seven bedrooms, five baths, two powder rooms, a sauna room, family room, living room, dining room, huge kitchen, rec room, attic, basement, and Ciara’s den. Ciara showed AJ the house and the grounds.
“We’re okay, you okay?” he countered.
“I’m doing better. You take care of each other and listen to Jarod and Susie and if you want to talk to me, call me. Okay?”
“Jarod says to be happy and I promise. Love you… gotta go.” Bobby said and quickly hung up the phone. Ciara had just finished being on her phone for over three hours. She had called her therapist, Jarod and the boys, her assistant, her editor, and her publisher. Her life felt in balance again.
