“Well.. did you get your schedule?” asked Nick the next day as he walked in, carrying an arm load of books to see Aimee sitting at her computer on the internet.

“Yeah… what about you?” asked Aimee as she got up, handing him her schedule and she grabbed his looking at him, “Hah.. we don’t have classes together.”

“Thank you sweet Jesus.” said Nick laughing as he looked over on her computer, “Is that me?”

“Huh?” asked Aimee as she walked over and tried to close the window but Nick grabbed her hand so that she couldn’t.

“Are you looking me up online?” asked Nick.

“Hey… I was reading something about you..” said Aimee, “I wanna know what kind of person I’m living with.”

“What did you find out?” asked Nick.

“That I’m not going to take a shower after you.” said Aimee as Nick closed his eyes and bit his lower lip at the same time.

“Busted.” said Nick as he started to laugh, opening his eyes to look at her.

“Also that you like Tampa Bay which is my all-time favorite team, and that you look funny with long hair.. you look better with short hair like you got now.” said Aimee.

“Yeah okay Aimee.” said Nick as he went to go put his books on his desk.

“I also found out that you guys sing a song that I like.. I thought it was ‘N Sync.” said Aimee as Nick looked over at her.

“Which one?” asked Nick.

“I Want It That Way” said Aimee.

“Want me to sing ya some?” asked Nick smiling as Aimee made a sour face.

“Not really.” said Aimee as Nick looked confused, “I also found out that….” as he interrupted her.

“I don’t wanna know.” said Nick as Aimee started to laugh.

“I also found a picture of all you guys with your pants around your ankle’s… very attractive Nicky..” said Aimee.

“Stop callng me that, you’re as bad as Howie.” said Nick as Aimee continued to laugh.

“Okay Nicky.” said Aimee as Nick cut his eyes over at her, “I think I’m gonna go take a bath.. I’m just so hot and bothered since looking you up online.. I don’t know what to do with myself.”

“Need any ideas?” asked Nick as Aimee started to laugh.

“Not really.” said Aimee.

“Alright.. well I’m gonna go look around campus… figure out where my classes are alright.. I’ll bring us something to eat back.” said Nick as Aimee was about to go in the bathroom.

“Okay.. bye.” said Aimee as she walked into the bathroom and Nick looked over at the computer to see what she was reading.

“That fucking “Rolling Stone” interview.. I’ll never live that down.” Nick thought as he laughed and walked out of the dorm room.

Nick sat there at the bar remembering back as he started to laugh.

“She went and told that girl that…” Nick thought as he put his head down on the bar laughing when he heard someone call his name.

“Yo Nick my man, get your ass on up here to the par-tay.. it’s kicking.” said AJ as Nick looked over at him.

“I will.. I got a beer.” said Nick as he held up his glass of beer while AJ smiled.

“Alright man.. plenty more where that came from.. hurry up.” said AJ as he walked over to the elevators and got in.

“AJ’s always up for a party…. party.. party party party….” he thought as he took a sip of his beer again and looked around.

“That same day we got our schedules… Rok and D came… I didn’t want them too….” Nick thought as he looked back at the ring, “I remember them and Aimee telling me about it…” as he started to think back.

“Man… I’m sorry Rok.. I really am.” said Howie as him and Brian pulled into a parking spot at FSU.

“I know… but you know what.. this isn’t the first fight we’ve had.. and what’s sad is we’ve only been married hell almost a year.” said Brian as he started to bite his nails.

“Yeah.. well man don’t worry about it alright. We’ll go grab Nicky.. go out get a few beers.. maybe get laid.. it’s all good.” said Howie as he looked around, “That’s the name of his dorm building there.” said Howie as him and Brian started walking over to the building.

“I hope Nick isn’t mad that we’re coming.” said Brian, “He said wait a while that he was going to be busy today.”

“He won’t.” said Howie, “Damn boy probably misses us already.” said Howie as he looked at the peice of paper in his hand, “349…” as they started to walk up the stairs.

“I dunno being on the road a year.. he’s probably happy to get rid of us.” said Brian as he started to laugh a little.

“Yeah well.. you don’t need to be alone right now man.. you’re marriage is about to go down the drain.” said Howie as they reached the third floor and started looking around, “Here’s 349..”

“Should we walk in?” asked Brian.

“Hell it’s Nicky’s room.” said Howie as he opened the door and Aimee walked out of the bathroom in a towel, “Oh my god…”

“Oh my god..” said Aimee as Brian tilted his head from being confused.

“Sorry we’ve got the wrong room.” said Brian as they started to shut the door back.

“Hang on.. no.. you’ve got the right room. Nick will be back in a little bit…. ummm come on in.. I need to go get dressed.” said Aimee as she grabbed her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

“Well.. we know why he’s busy.” said Howie as him and Brian walked into the dorm room and looked around.

“His roommate has posters of Tim McGraw up… wonder if he’s gay?” asked Brian as Howie started to laugh.

“Hey now Tim is kinda cute..” said Howie as Brian looked over at him, “Joking…”

“Damn can’t believe Nick already found a girl to sleep with.. he just got here yesterday.” said Brian.

“Well he is The Nick Carter.” said Howie as Brian nodded his head agreeing with him.

“True.” said Brian as Nick opened the door and walking in looking at a peice of paper.

“Aimee.. I got McDonald’s.. I didn’t know what you liked on your burgers.” said Nick as he looked up to see Howie and Brian standing there, “Holy shit.”

“Uh huh.. exactly.” said Brian as Nick sat the food down and walked over to hug them, “Sup bro?”

“Nothing man.” said Nick as he hugged Brian and then hugged Howie.

“Sorry we came today….” said Howie.

“Oh it’s cool.” said Nick, “Rok you alright, you look depressed.”

“I’m fine.” said Brian, “Leigh and I.. we think we’re gonna get a divorce.” as Aimee walked out of the bathroom and Nick sqwinched his eyes.

“Yeah… and Nick introduce us…” said Howie.

“Shit Rok I’m sorry.. guys this is my roommate Aimee. Aimee this Howie and Brian.” said Nick as Howie and Brian looked over at Nick.

“I thought your roommate’s name was James.” said Howie.

“Aimee James Callahan.” said Aimee as they shook hands.

“Umm Nick….” said Brian as he started to laugh while shaking Aimee’s hand.

“Yeah yeah yeah.. I know.. but we can’t help it. It just got this way.” said Nick as Howie started to laugh.

“Well.. it’s nice to meet you.. Nick I’m gonna walk down and use the payphone to call my mom…” said Aimee as she walked out of the dorm room. Howie and Brian busted out laughing.

“Dude it’s not what you think.” said Nick, “She’s a cool girl and that’s all.. trust me.”

“She’s cute man.” said Brian.

“Man trust me… it’s weird as hell.. but I’m getting use to it.” said Nick.

“You’re mom don’t know you got a girl roommate does she?” asked Howie.

“Hell no.” said Nick, “So you and Leighanne are getting a divorce?”

“Yeah.. I think so…. things haven’t been so good lately.. that’s why she wasn’t with me during the summer tour.” said Brian.

“I’m sorry man.” said Nick, “I am.”

“It’s okay..” said Brian.

“Yeah so what are we gonna do tonight.. I’m set for a club.” said Howie.

“Well actually I start class in the morning and me and Aimee were gonna watch a movie.” said Nick as Howie and Brian looked at him, “What?”

“You okay man?” asked Howie as he felt of Nick’s forehead.

“Yeah.. I’m fine man. I have my first day of class tomorrow and I’m gonna watch a movie.” said Nick.

“With a girl.” said Howie.

“With my roommate.” said Nick as Aimee walked back in, “Oh you back?”

“Yeah.. my mom wasn’t home.” said Aimee as she walked over to her desk and Brian looked over at her.
