Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 19:54:11 -0800 (PST) From: Ethan Subject: Summer Love Chapter 2 Chapter 2 of Summer Love by Ethan This is my first attempt at writing, so be kind. Please over look any grammer or punctuation errs. Remember...This is FICTION. It in no way implies or represents anything of the people mentioned in this story. If this material offends you...Don't read it... When I got home I wasn't even in the mood to talk or eat. My moim had left me a note that she had left me somthing to eat in the fridge but the way I was feeling I probably would never be able to eat with appetite again. I just went to my Room and stripped to my underwear and crawled into bed. I had a ton of homework to do but I just couldn't concentrate on anything. I looked at the wall shrine I had of the Backstreet Boys and I could feel the tears welling . I couldn't bear to look at it so I buried my head under the covers and cried myself to sleep. The next morning I was still pretty down I did manage to have some coffee but I still wasn't very hungry. I logged on to my computer and lost myself in the world of the Internet someplace where I can lose myself and not think about the emptiness I was feeling. I started talking to a bud of mine online He is one of my closest friends and I could tell him most anything. I started telling him about the long wait for nothing and he says to me you went to school with Nick why don't you write him and see if he still remembers you from school maybe he can get you a ticket. Damn why didn't I think of that. Well I figured it was worth a shot. I did a search online to find an address to write to. I found one and wrote the letter saying how I remember Nick from school and does he remember me and that it was cool that they were going to perform so close to home. I felt cheap asking a favor of someone I hadn't seen in so long but it was the last resort as the tickets were being scalped for 200 bucks a piece the same day they sold out. I was barely affording college so I couldn't possibly pay that much. I sent the letter halfheartedly because I wasn't expecting to get more than a canned reply from a fanclub. But there is always hope. About two weeks went by with no reply and I was figuring I wasn't going to get anything when on Friday I came home and my mom said a airborne express envelope came for you today. I was like huh and she says what did you order now!!!! I didn't order anything so I was like in the dark. I looked at the address and it was totally something I hadn't seen before so I opened it. And out fell two tickets and a letter. I was like wow what's this I looked at the ticket and it was a front row seat to the concert and the other was a backstage pass. My hands were shaking as I picked up the letter to read it. I was expecting a canned note from some secretary but it was handwritten. As I read it I was so happy I started to tear. Dear Ethan: Hey dude of course I remember you who could forget the shyest guy in school. How are ya what have you been up too? I guess you know what I have been doing. I cant get over how fast the Buffalo show sold out. We would do a second show but our schedule is too full to allow it. I couldn't let an old schoolmate miss the show so I pulled some strings and shagged this ticket for you . I thought the backstage pass would be cool I kinda would like to hear how things are in the old homestead. Well gotta run lots of stuff to do all the time as you can imagine. Lookin forward to hangin with someone from home . Catch ya later dude. Nick This is the end of chapter 2 more to follow hopefully tell me what you think :)
