The next day, Lexy went downstairs to the lobby and next to Johnny who was playing cards with Sean. She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed. Johnny looked at her-“Rough night?”
Lexy groaned-“You have no idea!” Just then AJ was walking out of the elevator and looked over at her. She stood up as she smiled at Johnny-“But, I will have to tell you about it later cuz I’m leaving, I don’t wanna talk to AJ.” She walked off as AJ started walking towards her. She was ready to work out so she walked to the gym and put her headphones on as she got on the treadmill.
Adrianna walked over to her and got on the the one next to her-“Hey, what’s up?”
Lexy looked over at her-“Not much, just trying to get some peace and quiet! Haha”
Adrianna laughed-“Funny I thought this was were you work out!” Both girls continued jogging as they talked, Lexy sighed-“ I like to work out when I feel stressed.”
Adrianna laughed-“ Ah ha! See I knew there was something up.”
Lexy laughed-“Yea, but we’ll talk about later.” She finished up and went upstairs to shower.
That night during the show, Lexy did her parts of the dance with AJ, but hardly looked at him, she did not speak to either one of them. She loved My beautiful woman, because she kept away from them, making both guys confused during their song. Lexy went back up to her room as soon as the show was over. Nick and AJ had been trying to talk to her the whole time but she would avoid him. Brian stopped both guys who were not talking to each other-“Ok, we need to talk! Now!”
AJ and Nick looked at each other then at Brian as he walked into his room making them follow. Brian continued-“ OK, I spoke to Lexy, and I know what happened last night. It’s not so bad if she doesn’t talk to you because she isn’t always being watched but it is a big deal when YOU TWO don’t talk.”
Nick looked down-“ Brian, did Lexy tell you everything we said?”
Brian nodded-“Yea, everything! Including what the two of you said which shocked me! That’s not like you! To say something like that over a girl! I like Lexy, don’t get me wrong she is a good friend now, but she said so herself, she is not worth this fighting between you!” Nick and AJ looked at each other then looked away as Brian went on-“ Now make up and get over it. She isn’t interested anyways, there is no need to continue this sillyness.” Both guys sighed and apoligized while giving each other a hug. They decided that it would be better if they found Lexy and apologized to her.
Lexy was playing cards with Sean downstairs when Nick and AJ walked up, she rolled her eyes-“Hey Sean, I gotta go! I’ll see ya later.” She got up and started towalk away, but Nick caught her by the arm-“woah Lexy, listen we want to apoligize.” She look at them-“ You should be apologizing to each other not me.”
AJ smiled-“We already did, now we felt like we needed to apologize to you. We understand that you aren’t interested in either one of us, so we are ok with it. Promsie!”
Lexy smiled-“ So I can have my boys back?” Both guys nodded, and she hugged them.
The day after that Nick and AJ were not hanging around Lexy as much as they used to. Lexy walked over to Maggie-“Hey Maggie, I think Nick and AJ are avoiding me.”
Maggie looked over at the guys who were talking to Kevin-“Hmm, you said that everything was normal again rite? Well maybe they feel like since they KNOW you aren’t gonna date them, they shouldn’t try anymore.”
Lexy crossed her arms, “so that means that they can’t hang out with me??”
Maggie laughed-“Sadly I believe that’s what it means. Sorry hun!”
Lexy pouted and walked over to them, as she thought ‘Hell no, they aren’t avoiding me cuz I won’t date them.’ She tapped AJ’s shoulder-“Hey guys! Let’s go club hoppin tonight, since we’re off!”
Nick looked at her-“OH sry Lexy, we already have plans.”
Lexy frowned and walked over to Maggie who was shaking her head like-“I told you so.” Lexy walked over to the lobby and sat on the couch sighing. Brian walked over to her and smiled-“Hey cutie! Watcha doin’?”
Lexy looked at him-“Do you think that Nick and AJ are avoiding me becuase I wasn’t interested?”
Brian thought for a moment, then spoke-“Hmm, I dunno. That doesn’t soudn like them hun. Maybe you should talk to them.”
Lexy shook her head-“Nah, maybe they are just wanting to do their own guy thing. Thanx Brian.” Lexy got up and walked to the elevator, Nick stood behind her. They both got in the elevator, it was akward. Lexy finally spoke-“So, wat plans do you have tonight?”
Nick sighed-“We’re prolly gonna sit in the room and play video games.”
Lexy nodded slowly-“Oh.”
Nick smirked-“Why you wanna join us?”
Lexy shook her head-“Nah, don’t wanna inrtude on your male bonding.” She looked away and he laughed as he put his arm around her shoulder-“Lexy, you will never intrude! Unless you have a better idea on something to do tonight, cuz I can think of a few things that involve just us two.”
Lexy’s eyes got wide, she felt her face get hot, she smacked Nick in the chest, “NICK! You so wish!” She laughed as she got off the elevator and walked to her room.
Nick rubbed his chest laughing-“So, 8ish? My room?” He winked and blew her a kiss, she laughed and walked into her room. No matter how hard Nick tried, he couldn’t help but flirt with her, he knew it was something he shouldn’t do.
She sat in her hotel room, watching TV when her phone rang, it was Maggie-“Hey girlie what’s up?”
Maggie sighed-“I am bored out of my mind, wanna go for a walk with me? Not too far just to get out?”
Lexy groaned-“Oh Hun I would love to but AJ and Nick challenged me to some video games and I already said yes! Maybe we’ll catch up!”
Maggie giggled-“You and those boys are too silly!! Ok just give me a call if you do!”
Lexy agreed and hung up. 20 minutes later the guys showed up and she told them that Maggie wanted to walk. Lexy said she felt bad for letting her go alone so the guys agreed that they would go for a walk then come back and play all night. They ran into Howie and Michael on their way out, so they decided to go together, it would be fun. When they got downstairs, Lexy called Maggie on her cell-“Hey girl, where are you?”
Maggie paused-“Hmm, I am only 2 blocks away from the hotel. I got distracted by some fireworks. Are you gonna join me?”
Lexy laughed-“Yes ma’am! I brought the whole gang!”
Maggie laughed-“Oh awesome. Excuse me! Leave her alone! She is an old woman! Hey..hey-” The call was lost, Lexy looked at the guys-“Oh my! Guys I think something happened, I could here a man, and some rustling on the phone.” Nick ran to the front desk and got keys to a rental car, they decided they would get there faster this way. Howie called the cops, they said they were a couples of blocks away, and were headed over to them. When they reached 2 blocks, they got out and started running. They turned into an alley where they heard arguing, and there was Maggie, with a man behind her.
Maggie was scared-“Michael! Help me!He has a gun!”
The man laughed-“See, your friend here, wouldn’t be in this position if she had just minded her own business. Wait, I know you guys! You’re those damn Backstreet Boys! You and your money, you can get away with everything! Not like us normal people who can’t get away with anything. You people don’t know ANYTHING about living life the rough way.”
Nick tried to get close-“No man, we don’t but you do not need to be holding anyone hostage. Let her go!”
The man laughed again, his laugh sent a shiver down Lexy’s spine-“ You think it’s that easy? She already saw my face! I think I’m just gonna take her with me and play with her.”
Michael wanted to launch himself towards this guy, AJ held him back as the man took the gun and pointed it at them-“Don’t you dare come near me, or else I will shoot all of you!”
Nobody moved, AJ started talking-“Listen man, you can have anything you want, we will let you go and give you our money and tons of stuff! Just let her go!”
The man walked back wards a bit, he was in the shadow, so no one could see his face-“No, no no, see you will say that, and then turn around and backstab me! No, it’s not that easy!”
Michael was frustrated by now-“Just let her fuckin go!! You sick fuck!!” Lexy was starting to tear up, her friend was in danger and there was nothing she could do, she took a step forward-“Please sir, just let her go! Please! Take what we offer but please just let her go!!” The man shook his head,-“No, see no! She already saw my face! She did!” He started mumbling to himself, then started screaming-“You’re gonna turn me in, and I’m gonna go to jail!! I can’t go to jail!!” He started walking back and Maggie was bawling by now, the man continued screaming. Everyone wanted to get him so bad, but were scared, they could just watch and hope the cops got here on time. Just then the most horrifying sound echoed through the alley...*BANG* followed by silence...
