“Are you calling Mom and Dad?” asked Grace walking into Madison’s suite as Madison sat there on the sofa and nodded her head yes.

“Hello?” asked a woman answering the phone.

“Hey mom.” said Madison.

“Madison, where do you get off running away and getting married?!?” asked Mary, Madison’s mother.

“Umm… just felt like it. Plus I didn’t run off, I was already here.” said Madison as Grace shook her head no at her.

“Who is this boy?” asked Mary.

“His name is Nickolas Carter.” said Madison, “He’s 20.. he’ll be 21 in January. He’s a singer, he’s in the Backstreet Boys. He’s from Florida.”

“And why haven’t we heard about him? You’re father hasn’t came home from work yet so I’m sure he hasn’t heard.” said Mary.

“Well I’ve kind of kept it to myself. Grace knew about him, but I told her not to say anything.” said Madison.

“So when do we get to meet him?” asked Mary.

“Umm I don’t know.” said Madison, “We’re both kinda busy.”

“Madison, you’re father is gonna be disappointed, hell what about Luke?” asked Mary.

“Umm… well… Luke’s gone like bye bye.” said Madison, “We barely see each other anyway.”

“And you’re going to be around this new husband if that’s what you want to call him?” asked Mary.

“Oh I don’t wanna get into this.” said Madison, “Just tell dad and explain to him that I love……” as she looked at Grace.

“Nick..” whispered Grace.

“Yeah just tell dad that I love Nick and that I’m happy and I will see you soon.” said Madison.

“Okay.” said Mary, “Call back later.”

“Okay..” said Madison, “I love you bye!”

“Bye bye.” said Mary as Madison hung up.

“Oh this isn’t gonna work I can’t even remember his name. I just know he’s a Backstreet Boy.” said Madison as Grace started to laugh.

“So has dad had a heart attack yet or has he not gotten home yet?” asked Grace.

“Not got home yet.” said Madison as she swallowed hard and sat there.

“So what did you and Mr. Carter decide?” asked Grace.

“Pretend we’re all happy for a month…. or so and then get a divorce. They can’t technically make us stay married. We’re just gonna do it for us… so it won’t make us look bad, get married one day, get divorced the next…” said Madison.

“Yeah…” said Grace, “That works okay. So for a month you’ll have to play husband and wife.”

“Ohh I don’t like the sound of that.” said Madison as Grace started to laugh, “I mean damn why him. Why not that other one.. he’s cute.”

“Oh please.. you know you think Nick’s cute.” said Grace as Madison looked at her, “I should call Luke.”

“I wouldn’t worry with him. You’re a married woman now. Can’t have no boyfriends, just you’re loving husband.” said Grace as Madison looked away.

“I don’t remember anything from last night. I remember going to the party and talking to Jessica Simpson and Kenny Chesney, but I don’t remember anything after that.” said Madison, “I had a drink but everything else I don’t remember. I wish I could. I don’t know a damn thing that went on last night.”

“Well has this taught you a lesson… no more drinking, especially in Las Vegas so you won’t go and commit bigamy or anything.” said Grace as Madison started to laugh.

“Yeah.. god no more drinking.” said Madison as she held her head down, “I didn’t even see him last night except on stage…. I don’t remember seeing him at the party. That’s what I don’t understand.”

“You had to.” said Grace.

“I know….” said Madison when there was a knock at the door, “Go get that.”

“Alright…” said Grace as she walked to the door and opened it to seee Nick standing outside, “Oh look… my new brother in law.” as Nick waved at her.

“Can I come in?” asked Nick.

“You don’t have to ask to come in your wife’s suite.” said Grace as Nick walked in giving her a weird look and saw Madison sitting on the sofa holding her head down.

“Everybody’s heard before I could tell them.” said Nick.

“Yeah same here.” said Madison as she looked up, “So.. what’s next?”

“I dunno…” said Nick, “Where do go after here?”

“New York City, my apartment.” said Madison, “What about you?”

“New York City to film some shows, and then to Europe.” said Nick, “Then we’re going around the world in a hundred hours.. landing back up in New York City.”

“A 100 hours?” asked Madison as the phone rung.

“Yeah…” said Nick as Madison answered the phone.

“Hello?” asked Madison answering the phone.

“Hey it’s Chris.” said Chris, “Umm got some news.”

“Uh oh.. um Nick’s here, want me to put ya on speaker phone?” asked Madison.

“Sure…” said Chris as Madison put him on speaker phone, “Nick you there?”

“Hey.. yeah I’m here.” said Nick.

“Okay.. you guys are going to New York City for two days to shoot some shows. Then you’re going to Europe until you take off for the 100 hour tour.” said Chris.

“I know, I was just telling Madison that.” said Nick.

“Madison you have the next month off.” said Chris.

“Oh no.. listen this is my free time.” said Madison.

“You’re gonna go back to NYC with Nick. When Nick leaves to go to Europe, you will go with him, but leave to come back before the 100 hour tour.” said Chris.

“Uhh I have to go to Europe?” asked Madison.

“Yeah….. we’ve got it planned out.” said Chris.

“Listen we’ve decided…” said Madison as Nick put his hand over her mouth.

“We’ve decided that…. we think that us getting married was a sign… it’s meant to be.” said Nick as he looked over at Madison as she looked at him.

“I’m glad you feel that way, I hope you two hav e a happy life together. You both deserve it.” said Chris.

“Thanks… that means a lot. Talk to you soon.” said Nick.

“Okay bye bye.” said Chris as Nick hung up the speaker phone.

“What did you do that for?” asked Madison.

“We’re not gonna let them know of our plan.” said Nick, “This marriage was not meant to be… we were drunk off our asses and we didn’t know what we were doing. They want us together because it will be like huge news. It’ll make papers, magazines… they like that. They don’t give a shit what we feel or anything. Don’t tell them we’re gonna act it out for a month or so and then seperate.”

“Yeah.. yeah you’re right.” said Madison, “You’re right.”

“We’ll just have everybody think that we’re gonna try to make it work.” said Nick.

“I told Grace…” said Madison, “I tell her everything…”

“Okay… that’s cool.” said Nick, “When we’re in public we’ll act like we’re in love, holding hands and stuff…. and then ya know a month or so… seperate.”

“Yeah.” said Madison, “A month… that’s not much to make up for a mistake like last night.”

“For real..” said Nick as he started to laugh, “So we leave tomorrow.”

“Oh… okay.” said Madison, “Yeah I have like a month and a half off and I go back and record….”

“You never had a whole album come out did you?” asked Nick.

“No.. I’ve been recording the past year… they took a few songs and put it on the soundtrack and so that’s how I became famous before I even had a album out. It should be finished by the end of the year hopefully.” said Madison.

“That’s cool…” said Nick, “So….” as he sat down, “I don’t know a damn thing to say.”

“Me either.” said Madison as she looked at her hand, “This is a cheap band, you would think all the money you make making little girls scream you could buy you’re only wife a real wedding band.” as Nick started to laugh.

“Um yeah I think mine is making my finger turn green…” said Nick as he took his off to see a green ring around his finger, “Yep….. We’ll have to take care of that.”

“Yeah…. and I have to do a interview today…” said Madison, “So… we’ve been dating since this summer.. say… July.”

“Cool.. July, just say July 4th.. easy date to remember.” said Nick.

“Okay…” said Nick, “Our first date… we went to Disney World.”

“Sounds like fun.” said Madison as Nick started to laugh.

“Yeah….., it was.” said Nick laughing.

“I bet….” said Madison, “What’s your favorite color?”

“Green, yours?” asked Nick.

“Blue.” said Madison, “But I like Green and Black too.”

“Cool… what’s our song?” asked Nick as Madison started to laugh.

“Umm…. “Breathe” said Madison.

“Cool.. fine with me.” said Nick.

“Okay.. I need to go and get ready for the interview… I’ve got to go somewhere else to do it… so I’ll see you later okay.” said Madison.

“Okay…. wanna go out tonight, make an appearance out for everybody to see?” asked Nick.

“Sure…” said Madison.

“Okay.. cool.. I’ll see ya later.” said Nick.

“Okay.. bye.” said Madison as Nick walked out and she sat there and looked around.

“Damn this is gonna be the worst month of my life.. I’m gonna go to hell for lying.” she thought as Grace walked back in.

“I saw the newlywed husband leave… so what’s up there?” asked Grace.

“You can tell anybody we’re gonna plan to get a divorce in like a month and a half.” said Madison.

“Okay.” asid Grace.

“We’re gonna go out tonight, make an appearance.” said Madison.

“Uh huh…” said Grace as Madison stood up and looked at her.

“An appearance.” said Madison as she walked into the bathroom as Grace stood there.

“An appearance..” said Grace mocking her.
