I want to dedicate this story to someone very close to me. Monica thanks for understanding. ______________________________________________________

Between the thick fog and his tears Devin couldn't see. He was looking hard but he didn't notice the headlights of the car coming at him. When he saw them it was too late. He woke up in the ambulance, all he knew was his head hurt. Hearing one of the EMT's say it didn't look good, He felt a twinge of fear deep in the pit of his stomache. A single tear slid down his cheek, and everything went black.

One week earlier.

"God I am so excited, I can't believe we are going to see 98 Degrees!" Mular shouted in the middle of the crowded mall, "somebody pinch me." "OWW, I wasn't serious." She turned towards me and punched my arm. "I'm excited to, but that doesn't mean I am going to make a fool of myself over it," I said said rubbing my arm. "I mean they're great and all but.... I don't know I guess Drew is kind of cute," I couldn't help but smile, "and I know you think Nick is a God." "Are you saying you wouldn't go ape over the man of your dreams?" Mular prodded. "There's no chance any of them are gay anyway," I replied, "and even if they were why would any of them want me?" "Quit kidding yourself," She smiled, "you're a hunk and a half."

"Lets eat here," we said in unison. Laughing I opened the door for Mular and followed her through. I began wondering why we always ate there, the food wasn't all that great, and it wasn't the cleanest joint in the mall either, so I asked Mular, "why do we eat he..." Before I finished the waiter walked by and I suddenly remembered. "What were you going to say?" She asked when they came to their table. "Oh no one, I mean nothing," I stuttered. She looked at him knowingly, "I think I understand." "Now tell me again how you got those tickets," Mular's eyes flashed with excitement again. "I merely blackmailed the guy that works at Ticket Master. Those pictures I took of him with the lady from Footlocker, scared him badly enough he gave me two tickets to the concert. I lost the pictures though, Oh well." The waiter came and took our orders and continued to converse casualy untill Mular looked at her watch. "Oh Shit! I'm late for an interview," jumping up she said "later." Devin shook his head and muttered to him self, "she left me with the fucking check again." I finished eating, got up walked to the counter to pay the check, and fell. A hand quickly grabbed me on the shoulder. So instead of

falling face first onto the floor, my balance was shifted and I hit a table. Knocking it and everything on it over. I could hear glass breaking as it hit the floor.

I raised up, and put my hands over my face. The manager came out wailing "What did you do, your going to pay for all of this." I think I was as red as a ripe tomato, I started to say something but the man who grabbed my shoulder interupted me, "It was my fault sir, let me pay for it," I looked up at the large man and about fainted, it was Jeff from the band he was going to see tomarrow. "Holy Shit! Do you know who you are? Wait of course you do," I rambled. The man reach into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet, he took out a hundred and handed it to the angry manager, "there that should more than cover it," He said non-chalantly. He reach down and grasped my hand, helping me up. "Th-TH-Thanks, Oh my God I can't beleive this." "Are you allright?" Jeff asked worried. "I'm fine, And so are you," I said, then slapped my forehead and thought to myself, "what did I just say." The expression on Jeff's face turned from worry to embaressment, "Well you apperently know who I am, so who are you?" Not hearing him I rambled on, "Mular would absoloutly die if she were her right now, Is the rest of the band around here? Are you guy's here for the concert? Of course you are..... I'm sorry I am just carrying on like I'm insane." "Thats okay I was enjoying watching you talk to yourself. Okay lets try this again, my name's Jeff, you are?" "Devin," I grabbed the other mans hand and started shaking it, "Thank you so much, is there anyway to make it up to you?" "Well me and the guy's do need a place to stay. There was a mix up at the hotel and they gave our reservation away, all the other places in town was full, so what ya say?" "Are you kidding? Of course. I live in an apartment so some of you would have to bunk in the floor." "Not willing to give up your bed for even a celebrity huh?" he laughed, "Drew would like you," realizing his mistake he grimaced.

"Well shall we go?" I questioned. "Sure, lead the way, I'm supposed to catch up with the guys over by the Orange Julius place, in about an hour." "Works for me, what do you guys like to do for fun?" Jeff's eyes got a little wider than they were a second before, "you mean other than sing? I guess work out in the gym, play b-ball, oh and I'm addicted to a game called Tekken." We continued to walk around the mall and chatted about this and that, untill Justin saw us. He jogged over to us and said hi to Jeff. "I have taken care of our sleeping arangements for the night, and maybe longer," he looked at me, "oh and this is Devin." "Longer?" I looked at them with astonishment, "how long are you guys gonna be here? I mean your welcome to stay as long as you want." Jeff started to say something and Justin cut him off, "how well do you know this guy, I mean he could be a serial killer for all we know." I glared at him and took a step towards him, "Your right, I've known you less then five minutes and allready I want to bust you in the nose!" Justin looked at him with apolojetic eyes and said with a laugh, "Drew is going to like you."

While Devin pondered what kept being said about Drew liking him, the rest of the group walked up. Justin piped up, "HEY guys, this is Devin. We're staying with him tonight, and possibly longer." Nick whispered something in Drews ear. Drew just smiled and stuck his hand out to shake with Devin. "Hi, I'm Drew, and this is Nick," Drew let go of my hand and pointed to the man next to him. I in turn stuck my hand out and shook with Nick. "Hi," I said with more excitement than I meant to. "Hello, nice to meet you," Nick said looking him over.

"You guys ready to see where your going to stay?" I asked metriculusly. "Sure, we need to call our manger and let him know whats going on," Justin said and ran off to find a pay phone. "So... What do you think of Denver?" "We've been here before, but I don't like it much, it reminds me of home, accept colder," Drew smiled as he thought about home, "We won't be home for Christmas this year either." "Oh yeah, to answer your question Devin, we'll be here untill after New Year's. So we gonna be able to stay till then?" Jeff asked. "Huh... Your kidding me right, I mean you guys are all like the hottest guy's on earth." I looked towards the ground and shook my head and thought, "Damn it! I have to stop doing that or they won't even want me near them." Looking up at them, I noticed that Nick looked just a little uncomfortable, but Drew was smiling at me. About that time Justin ran up to the group, "All's done, Just have to go, and check in every couple of days, Oh and we have to show up to the concert about three hours early, to practice." "Well what your manager going to do?" "It turns out that he has some family in a town close by. So are we ready?" "Yeah lets go." "I call shotgun!" Drew hollered. And with that we walked to Devin's car.

Half an hour later...

"Can we call you Dev?" Nick asked while Devin fumbled with his keys, Finaly unlocking thr door. "I don't care what you call me, as long as you call me for dinner." "I think I'm gonna like you." Drew said with a giggle, "HEY!, where's the Chrismas tree?" "I haven't bought one yet, I was going to do that this afternoon, but I met you guys instead. I think its pretty good trade though." Drew garbbed my hand and pulled me back out the door "we'll be back in a little while." He took the keys from me and jumped into the drivers seat of my Mustang.

Back to the present...

"He's in Critical condition. You won't be able to see him right now, just his family," the doctor told Drew. Drew fell to his knee's and cried, "God please don't let him die! Please."

Flash...

"Wheres the nearest grocery store Dev?" "Go up to Logan street and turn left, theres a little one there." "So what do you like doing for fun?" Drew asked me. "I like to go bowling and play Base-ball, oh and work out. Ever been ice skating?" "Not in a long time. Can we go while we are here?" "I don't care, I'm off untill the 28th. So whatever you guys want to do." Drew looked at the sky, "it looks like its going to snow. WHOO HOO!" I started laughing as we pulled into a parking spot.

Back at Devin's house...

"So what do you guys think of him?" Jeff asked Nick and Justin, "Myself I think that him and Drew would make a cute couple." "I am not sure what to think, I mean we just met him and here we are staying at his house. It just doesn't seem right," Justin said. "I agree with Jeff, They do look cute together. But I don't think it would be such a good idea for Drew to get to attatched, I don't want to see him hurt." Nick said shaking his head. "Is anyone else hungry?" Jeff asked going through the refridgerator. "Tofu? Drew is really going to like him. Nick find a phone book and order a pizza. I am not going to eat this shit." The phone rang and Justin picked it up "Hello." "Umm... Hi is Devin there?" "No he went to get a Christmas tree. May I take a message?" "Oh ok, tell him that Mular called. Who is this?" "I'm Justin." CLICK! "She hung up on me," Justin said and dropped the phone down on the reciever.

At the grocery store...

"What about this tree?" I asked Drew. "Ahhh come on... We want something bigger, thats a Charlie Brown tree." Drew look ed around a little bit longer and spotted the one he wanted, "this one." He went and got the tag off of it and went inide the store to pay for it. I stood next to the tree and admired his taste. "AHHH! Its Drew from 98 degrees" I heard a girl scream. And seconds later Drew ran out the door and bolted for the car, so I ran after him. It sounded like a herd of buffalo behind me. "Oh my god!!!! I cant beleive it's him," a girl squealed. Drew stopped at the car when he realized he couldn't get in, so I threw my keys to him. He unlocked the door and jumped in, and slammed the door. I ran to the drivers side and he unlocked it for me, I got in and started the car. The tires screamed when I threw it into drive and stomped the gas. "WOW! does that happen often?" I asked him. "Not normally that bad, I think they would have torn me to shreds." "You forgot the tree," I joked. He looked at me and poked me in the ribs "I forgot the tree, what were you doing while I was being chased? Huh?" He poked me again and started laughing, "will we be able to get our tree later? I got it payed for and that girl recognized me." "We should be able to, as long as you have the reciept. Lets go home, I will get a couple of my friends to get it for us," I said turning into the driveway. "Whose car is that?" Drew asked. "Uh-Oh, thats my best friend Mular, we had better go save your brother." "Why?" "Because she has the biggest crush on him." Drew started laughing histericaly, "Once again why should we go save him?" "Oh your mean, I like that though." I opened the door and got out of the car, "are you coming?" "Yeah" He got out of the car and walked beside me, his hand kept brushing up against mine. I wasn't sure if it was on purpose or not. I opened the door and let him go in first, he stopped in the doorway his mouth dropped open, I looked around him and saw Mular sitting on top of Nick's chest, "Oh My God! I can't beleive your at Devin's house." Nick just looked at me pleadingly, I went over and picked up Mular and dropped her on the couch, "calm down Mular your embarising yourself, and me." "I- I am sorry. But you know how excited I was about going to the concert tomarow. All that excitement came out at once." She looked at Nick sitting on the floor, "I am so sorry." I looked at Drew standing by the door, "I told you we would have to save him." Justin walked in from the kitchen "Hey Drew he has some tofu in there," He winked at him. The doorbell rang and Drew turned around and anserwed it, "did you guys order pizza?" Justin's eyes got wide "Yeah! I am starving." Drew walked away from the door and Justin paid for the pizza. Jeff came out of the bathroom with wet hair, "wheres the tree?" I statrted giggling, "Drew wanted the perfect tree, and when we found it he went to buy it, and was recognized, I have never seen someone run so fast." "Who Drew?" Nick asked. "No the girls behind him." I laughed even harder, "but we didn't get the tree. I'll get a couple of my friends to pick it up for us." "I hope you don't mind I used your shower," Jeff said, "now wheres that pizza." "Justin took it into the kitchen you had better hurry if you want any," Drew said. Nick jumped up and ran into the kitchen, "there had better be some pizza left." I sat down next to Mular, "are you okay?" "I am so embaresed, I hope he's not mad at me." Drew sat down on the other side of her and said, "If he is he'll get over it." I smiled at him and mouthed the words thanks. He just shook his head, and walked into the kitchen. "So what do you think of Drew?!?" Mular asked me quietly. "He is so cool. Its going to kill me when they leave. And I think he just might be gay. They kept saying Drew was going to like me, and he grabbed my hand when we went to get a tree. adn when we were walking up the sidewalk his hand kept brushing mine."

Present.....

Nick comforted his brother, "It'll be ok, he'll make it, come on be strong." "It-it's all my fault, I told him I never wanted to see him again, and (SOB) he jumped in his car and took off. God please let him make it." "Jeff called Mular she's on her way. I am so sorry Drew." The doctor walked into the waiting room, "He's asking to see you." "Is he going to be allright?" Drew asked you could hear the worry drip out of his voice. "Yeah I beleive he will,He's been resting but he's awake for now. We will take him out of ICU tomarrow morning." Drew stood up, "Where is he?" "Follow me." Nick squeased his brothers hand before he left.

Drew followed the doctor down the hall crying. "Right here," the doctor pointed to the door, "You have five minutes."

Flash...

"You guys gonna help decorate the tree? Or ya just gonna sit there?" I asked hanging a green bulb. "Nick come on and help, we won't be home on Christmas but we still get to spend it with someone who cares." Drew said and pulled Nick to his feet. "allright I'll help." Drew walked over to me and said, "Thanks for letting us stay. It is really Generous of you." "I smiled at him, "it really isn't a problem, I would have had to spend Christmas alone anyway, no one in my family could make it down this year. So it will just be nice having you guys here. Hey wheres Justin?" "Him and Jeff are in the kitchen eating, again," Mular said, "who is going to put the star on the tree this year?" I looked at Drew, "Would you mind doing it? I would but I'm scared of heights." "I would be honored to do it, if your sure." "I am." "I just thought of something, What are we going to do about Christmas dinner? I can't cook. Other than a couple of pies. I make a strawberry tofu pie to die for." Nick made a weird gagging noise, and said, "I'll cook." "You guy's really don't like tofu do you." "Other than Drew no one can stand it," Jeff said walking into the living room. "Fine I'll make it for me and Drew then," I stuck my tounge out at them. "What time is it?" Justin asked when he came out of the kitchen. "Its almost eleven" I said looking at my watch."I am exausted, where do I sleep?" "Ummm...Three of you can sleep in here, and one of you can bunk in the floor of my room." Jeff yelled "I call the couch." "I can sleep anywhere." Nick said. Justin layed down on the floor "G night all." We finished the tree and Nick asked for a pillow and a blanket, Mular walked over and kissed me on the cheek and said she had to go home, opened the door and left. "So I guess you are in my room Drew." "Works for me," he smiled. I went and got Nick and Justin pillows and a blanket. Drew gabbed one for Jeff, and threw the pillow at him. "Goodnight Guys." I handed Nick and Justin theirs. Drew followed me into my room, ''Do you want a sleeping bag?" I asked "Sure," Drew whispered quietly. I went to my closet and pulled one out, "Here you go." "Thanks, why are you being so nice to us?" I pondered his question for just a second and said, "because I don't know why." He rolled the sleeping bag out next to the bed and I threw him a pillow. "Are you and Mular a thing?" He asked. "Why do you like her?" "No, I was just wondering." "No we aren't a thing, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable but I am gay." I thought for just a second I saw a sparkle in his eyes. "You are? Well while we are confessing so am I." "Really? Do the guys know?" "Yeah, I thought they were going to shit their pants when I told them but they are okay with it now." "After the concert tomarow if your not to tired would you like to go to the movies?" I asked. "Yeah that would be great." "Cool, good night Drew." "Night Dev." I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

"There was fog all around, I can make out a sign and a big gate. The sign says heaven. But the gate's locked. Somebody steps out of the fog under the sign. "Not in there, it's talking about me." When he came closer I realized it was Drew," I told Mular on the phone. "Wow, sounds like hes got you hooked, line and sinker." "It was so weird, I have never dreamed so vividly. Oh and did I tell you we are supposed to go out tonight." "OOOO, I want full details, sorry hun I have to go, got to get to work." "So you did get the job?" "Yeah, I called to tell you and when I heard someone else on the phone, I got to wondering who it was. When I asked he said Justin, and then his voice clicked. So I rushed over there and mauled Nick. OOPS!" I laughed, "allright, I'll see you later.Bye." "Remember, I want details. Bye." Click. I hung up the phone and walked into the kitchen. Someones butt was sticking out of the refridgerator, so I walked over and said "Good morning." "Oh hey, I didn't realize anyone else was up yet." Nick turned around with a carton of milk. I wiped my upper lip, "ummm. You might want to wipe that moustache off." Nick's cheeks turned bight red, "Oh sorry, I couldn't find a glass." I laughed, "thats ok. What time do you guys have to be there to practice?" "The concert starts at 4:00, so I guess about one." Nick looked at the clock, "Damn, we've only got about five hours. We need to wake up the guys. Can we get something to eat to?" "I'll go wake up Drew," I volenteered. I walked out of the kitchen and started runnig as soon as I was out of Nick's sight. I stopped right outside the door, and walked in calmly. Drew had managed to unzip the sleeping bag during the night. He wasn't in it, he was next to it. He looked so innocent, I just stood there and looked at him. He had such a nice body, pecs I could drool over, well defined abs. I realized he really was heaven. I kneeled down next to him, I hated having to wake him up. "Drew," I shook him lightly, "Drew wake up, we want to get something to eat, and you guys have to get to the aphitheatre." "Wunhh. Ok." he blinked rapidly, "What time is it?" "It's about eight." "Oh ok," he pulled me down next to him, rapping his arms around me tightly, "I don't wanna get up." "As much as I would like to stay here like this, and beleive me I would, I am starving." "Allright," he let go of me and sat up. I looked at his hair and started giggling. "Whats so funny?" He questioned me. "Its not that its funny, but your hair is adorable." He reach up and covered his hair with his hand, "Thanks I think." I stood up and offered my hand to him, when he grabbed my hand he made this weird grunting noise. When he was on his feet, he stretched, "Is everyone else up yet?" "I think so, Nick was supposed to wake them up too." He walked to the bathroom and said, "I'll be down and dressed in like five minutes," and with that he dissapeared through the door. I walked back to the kitchen and saw that everyone else was awake. "I am starving, and Drew will be in in just a minute," they all looked half dead, "aren't you guys cheerful in the mornings?" "Unghh," was the only response I got out of them. "Wheres Nick?" "He's getting dressed," Justin said half asleep. "Are you guys going to eat with us?" I asked. "I am," Jeff said rather hurriedly. "I don't want to feel left out, so I suppose," Justin yawned. "Then you had better get dressed." As I shooed Jeff and Justin out Drew walked in. My mouth dropped open, he was wearing white cotton pants, and a powder blue longsleave shirt that showed off his chest so well. He walked over and pushed my mouth shut, "I'll take that as a compliment." "Hey Dev, where are we going to eat?" Nick said walking in. "I don't know, what are you guys hungry for?" Justin yelled from the living room, "food!" I rolled my eyes and yelled back, "Smart Ass!" He came back into the kitchen with a huge smile on his face, "How rude," he stuck his tounge out at me, "I really don't care where we go. But can we invite your friend Mular?" "I'm sorry, she left for work half an hour ago. But she'll be there for the concert. Oh yeah, do I get a backstage pass? I mean since i've been so nice to you guys and all," I said with a grin. "Ah Ha! I knew there was a catch," Justin popped a smile. "Of course you get a backstage pass, and we'll get you one for Mular to," Drew punched Justin in the arm, "Quit giving him a hard time." "I want a spanish omelet," Jeff came in and handed his shoe to Nick, "can you get that knot out for me? Please." Nick sighed and shook his head, "when will you grow up dude?" "Probably never," He said with a go to hell look. "If looks could kill, you'd be dead Nick," I said half heartedly, "so mexican food ok with you guys then?" "Sure why not," Nick said, "I can't get it out," he handed the shoe back to Jeff. "I have to do some Christmas shopping today to," I said, "you guys don't mind do you?" "Not at all, we need to get some to, send back home for our families," Jeff said, "and I need to get a new set of shoe strings, what size shoe do you wear Dev?" "12." "Thats a bit bigger than mine, but can I barrow a pair?" "Sure, there under my bed. Go grab a pair, I am dying of hunger."

A little while later, at the resauraunt....

"How many?" the hostess asked. "Five, and can we have a secluded table in the back please?" Jeff politely asked. "Yes sir Mr. Timmons." She turned around grabbed five menues and started walking to the back of the restauraunt, she walked to a circular booth and laid the menues down. "Thanks for not making a big deal about us," Nick said. She smiled, "It's ok, I feel privlaged just getting to seat you. I really don't have to cause a riot, can I get you something to drink?" "I want water," Drew looked at me. "I'll have a cup of herbal tea." I said. Nick looked at me and shook his head, "I want a 7-Up please."Is Sprite ok?" "Sure why not." Jeff askedher what kind of sodas she had. "Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Mr Pibb, and Hi C." "Give me Coke." Justi looked down at his menue, "Just bring me a cup of coffee." "Allright I'll be right out with your drinks," she said and walked off. "God I can't beleive this, yesterday I was pumped about hearing you guys sing, and today I am eating Breakfast with you. It's just so unbeleivable."
