”Can you believe that it’s only two weeks left of this tour?” Lina asked Nick as they lay cuddled up on the couch. It was raining outside and none of them wanted to go out. Unfortunately, Nick had to leave in a couple of hours to do a sound check for tomorrow’s concert in Hannover, Germany.

“I know, the time has gone by so fast. Probably because of you...” he kissed her and she then leaned her head on his shoulder.

“Probably.” She joked. “I guess that means where going to the US soon...”

“Yup!” Nick tried not to smile. He knew she’d been wondering about the two of them and their situation. But he already knew what to do about it.

Lina sighed to herself. It was impossible to talk to him. What were they to do when they went home? They were gonna have a baby and they hadn’t even talked about their future. She decided it was time to talk about it now.

“Nick.”

“Yes?”

“Why won’t you talk to me about us?”

“I wanna talk about us...”

“Everytime I try, you start to talk about something else.” She started to get upset and felt anger bubbling inside her. Nick noticed it too and decided that maybe it was time to tell her about his plans.

“Baby, don’t get upset. I have thought about us, a lot. I wanted to surprise you but I guess I have to tell you now.”

“What?”

“I know how much you like Atlanta and that you wanna be close to Jo.”

“Yes?”

“I want us to live there. Together.”

“You do?” Lina smiled. That was such a relief.

“Of course I do. I’ve told you before. It doesn’t matter where I am as long as I’m with you!”

“Oh I love you so much!” She gave him a big kiss.

“I love you too,” Nick laughed. He had hoped for this reaction. “I can’t wait to start our life together at home.”

For a while they lay there and planned their future but then Nick had to leave.

“Don’t go anywhere without your bodyguard Lina. I mean it.”

“I know, but I don’t think it will happen again. Probably just some crazy lady. We haven’t heard anything more.”

“I know, but still. I don’t wanna take any chances. Okay?”

“Fine. I won’t. I’m just gonna go over to Leigh and hang out for a while.”

“You do that. I'll be home later tonight.” He gave her a quick kiss and was out the door.


Lina decided to walk right over to Leigh. She wanted to tell someone about her and Nick moving to Atlanta. She hoped Leigh and Brian would be happy to have them around. Jo was out doing whatever. She wasn’t quite sure about what. She heard about the talk between Jo and Alex. And she knew Alex broke up with that girl immediately after he talked to Jo. But Jo didn’t know what to do. When Alex found out she still dated Ryan he got furious. And now they weren’t talking at all. Everything was a mess.

'But I’m not gonna get involved. If Jo needs me she knows where to find me.'

Just as she was about to knock on Leighannes door her phone rang. She answered but there was noone there.

“Hello?” Still no answer. But she heard someone breathing on the other side of the end.

She got a bit nervous. ”Who is this?”

“I know where you are.” The voice whispered. “What are you and Leighanne gonna do today?”

Lina’s body froze as she realised the person was watching her. Her bodyguard saw the fear in Lina’s eyes and wanted the phone. Lina waved to him to wait.

"Who is this? And what do you want?"

“I want Nick.”

“Well you can’t have Nick. He’s with me.”

"Not for long. Watch up whore. I’m watching you.” She heard a click as the person hung up her phone. Lina stood there shivering.

“She’s somewhere near. She knew I was going to Leigh. She told me she’s watching me.”

“If she’s here, we’ll find her.” Henry, the bodyguard said. He knocked on the door and opened it.

“Hey, Leigh. Take care of Lina, I got to go. I’ll call someone to come here and be with you.”

He hurried away before Leigh had a chance to react.

“What was that about?” She asked but realised what happened when she saw Lina’s pale face.

“You've gotten another threat?” Lina nodded. “Oh my god!” She came up to Lina and gave her a hug. “Are you okay? What happened?” Lina told her about the phone call and started to cry.

“Why does someone wanna hurt me? I’m so scared.”

“I know you are. But they’re gonna catch her.”

“I hope so, she seems so full of hate.”

“I know. Some fans can’t understand that the guys are ordinary people. And they seem to believe that they are the ones for them.”


Lina stayed at Leighanne’s room until the boys were back from the venue. Nick had already been informed about what had happened and stormed into the room.

“Lina, are you okay?”

“Yeah I’m fine. I got scared though.” He took her in his arms and held her. She felt safe for the first time since the call.

“I don’t want you alone, ever, okay?” Nick said. “From now on you’ll have Henry taking you wherever you’re going.”

“Fine.” She knew it was pointless to object when Nick was upset. And she couldn’t help but like the idea. She didn’t want to be alone. The girl who called her sounded crazy.

“I’m gonna make sure they find this bitch.”

“I’m gonna make sure all the ladies get some extra protection for a while.” Kevin said. “You never know. I don’t want anything to happen to anyone of them. I want you girls to stay together. I don’t want you wandering off alone, okay.”

Noone of them objected to it. Both Kristin and Jo had arrived and the girls all looked at each other. They realised the danger Lina was in and didn’t want it to happen to them too.

“I don’t want this to reach the press. If this comes out it could trigger other girls to do the same thing,” Kevin continued. “I don’t want that. For now we have to focus on catching this one.”


Kevin took care of the details and half an hour later there were bodyguards everywhere. Lina was scared out of her mind. She reached for Jo’s hand for support.

“Don’t worry Lina. They will get her. And until then you and I are gonna spend a lot of time together,” Jo said, trying to comfort her friend. But she was scared too.

“Thanks. But you need to take care of your own problems with Ryan and Alex.”

“I know. And I will. But they aren’t beeing threatened by some freak. They’ll survive. Right now I wanna be here for you.”


It was late before anyone decided to go to bed. They were all a bit shaken from the seriousness in all this and didn’t wanna split up. Lina didn’t get much sleep that night. She couldn’t help but think about her and Nick. Being the girlfriend of a star wasn’t all just fun. She knew he had to be away sometimes, and she knew about all the fans that followed him. But she hadn’t thought about the possibility of something like this to happen.


'Can I really live my life like this?' she thought as she lay next to Nick who was asleep. 'Maybe Nick and I aren’t meant for each other?' She felt her heart break by the thought of her and Nick not being together. But could she really live her life the way she had to if she wanted to be with Nick? She didn’t know.
