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
