Everything is ready, I'm about to leave.

I've waited far too long, but now I don't have to wait any more. Now the time has come.

I know this will come as a shock to him, and to the others.

I know this will most likely ruin his life, and his relationship.

I don't care about that though.

They can love each other all they want, I don't give a fuck anymore.

I can't remember when I stopped caring, but it was some time back I guess.

It doesn't really matter though.

Today I'm going to tell the world what it wants to hear.

I'm going to tell it the truth.

Don't know if it can handle it, but I guess it's time to find that out.

*****

It's amazing how time flies when you're having fun. I feel like these last few days have gone by way too fast.

Sydney and Cape Town were great. I even got to touch a cheetah, not too mention that cool band that kept playing our song. I loved it.

Then there was Rio, which I'd admit was scary, but it was also very flattering.

All this is great, but that's not all the great things that have happened.

Me and Nick have been having a blast. And I think AJ is going crazy. He walked in on us three times after Sydney. Once in the bathroom, then there was the bedroom, again, and just half an hour ago me and Nick were kissing in the back of the plane, and he came back there. I don't think he wanted to see that, but as he put it, it could have been worse.

Now we're on our way to New York. Just two more hours, and we'll be there.

It's gonna be great. I loved being out in the world, but it's been getting hard to spend some time with Nick. Honestly, I don't think AJ could handle us for another day. I think he's seen more than enough already.

I'm afraid we've scarred him for life.

Oh well, he'll live, I'm sure.

I don't care about anyone else any more. Now it's just me and Nick, nothing else matters.

When we get back I want to take him out, take him somewhere nice. And if someone sees us, who cares? I'm out with my best friend, which he is. No need to say he's also my boyfriend.

That'll come later.

For they will know, when we are ready to tell them.

Before that time comes, I guess we'll have to be careful.

I'm afraid Nick doesn't know the meaning of the word.

*****

Home sweet home.

It's good to be back.

OK, so we're not actually on the ground yet, but we will be in a short while.

I think it's something like half an hour. First we have to sit down as a group and talk about what comes next. Kevin just turned on the radio, apparantly there's something coming on soon that he wants to hear.

I don't get why he wants to talk, and listen to the radio at the same fucking time, but it's Kevin, he does weird things all the time. So do I, but he's the only one who gets away with it. I don't think that's fair.

But we don't live in a world where things are fair, so I guess I'll just have to get back to Kevin in my own way, later. Now, I've got that interview thing, so he can wait. For a while.

I sit down next to Brian, leaning against him and turning my head to whisper a sweet hello in his ear. He smiles at me, and touch my tigh. I stick my tongue out and lick his ear.

"HEY" he yells, and I grin wickedly at him.

AJ looks away, what a surprise. Howie tries to act like nothing happened, and Kevin is staring at me like I'm the devil. Oh, maybe I am. Bill is here as well. He's been with us all along, but somehow I haven't seen much of him. Could be cause I've spent all my time with Brian, having...fun!

"So" Bill says, looking at me and Brian. "You two done?"

"Not by a long shot" I say and smile at him.

"We'll behave" Brian says, sending me a stare that says we will. Oh, all right. I'll behave, but that's only cause Brian said if I didn't I'd sleep alone tonight. I hate it when he uses his sexuality to get to me.

"Alright. We're here to talk about this trip, and about what happens next, and how we're going to deal with record sales, the press and the fans. So, anyone wants to share their..." That's as far as Bill gets, because one of his secretarys or something interrupts us.

"I'm sorry, but you might want to hear something. It's on the radio, I'll find it"

She looks nervously at me and Brian, and I don't get it. Then she turns on the radio, and my smile fades.

".......once again, some stunning news were revealed earlier today about the Backstreet Boys. Leighanne Wallace, the lady who used to be married to Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell, was interview earlier today by our own Lilly Pierce, and Ms. Wallace told us the truth about their break up. She told a story about cheating and lies, and gave the ideantity of the person who took away her husband from her. Not everyone is what they appear to be she said in the interview, as she told how her husband had been cheating on her for over six months, with another man. And this man is none other than Backstreet Boy Nick Carter......"
