About an hour later, Drake was pacing the step next to the front door waiting Camryn to come in soaking wet, crying, and now sick from being in the wet, cold rain.

A half hour went by and Camryn walked into the house, shivering, teeth chattering, and cold. Drake ran over and gave her a hug. "Cam, I swear if you do that to me again… you scared the fricken' crap out of me! Are you okay?"

Mrs. Parker came downstairs with a blanket in her hand and gave it to Drake. He wrapped the blanket around Camryn and say her on the couch.

"T-t-hanks." She stuttered, her teeth still chattering. Megan was in the kitchen watching, quietly because Drake, Audrey, and Camryn obviously didn't know she was there. She was watching her brother the whole time, through the waiting, the pacing, and the hugging and screaming. Megan thought about how her brother had yelled at her yesterday morning for disrespecting Camryn, how he screamed at her for coming into his and Josh's room after Josh told her not to because Camryn was upset, and she thought about what those two things had in common. 'Camryn,' she thought. Then it hit her. 'I guess he really does care about someone other than himself…'

"Drake…" Megan said. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah. What's up, Megs?" Drake asked, rubbing Camryn's arms trying to warm her up.

"Well, I was thinking…I'm sorry…" Megan stammered, starting to cry because she felt bad about what she'd done to her brother and his girlfriend, lately. She couldn't hold back her tears so she ran upstairs to her room.

"Megan!" Drake called after her. He looked at Camryn, "I'll be right back…"

"Yeah." Camryn said as if to say, DUH! You do.

Drake ran up the stairs after his sister. "Megan, wait. What are you talking about?"

"Ever since last week, when I came in the house and you 2 were sleeping on the couch, I don't know, it just hit me then that…that I'm actually losing my brother to a girl…" Megan sobbed. She couldn't take it. Telling it all to her brother's face was too much.

"You're not losing me, Megs. I'm right here." Drake said, leaning in to give her a hug. "Is that why you've been so harsh on me, lately?"

"I don't wanna talk about it…"

"I've got the perfect person you CAN talk to…"

"Oprah?" Josh yelled from the other room.

"No, Josh! Not Oprah!" Drake laughed. "Camryn. She has an older brother. Actually, she's got 2 brothers; remember she's in the middle."

Drake heard Camryn coming up the stairs. "Drake? Where are you?" she called.

"I'm in Megan's room." Drake yelled.

Camryn walked into Megan's room. "Drake, Brent's here."

"Thanks, Cam. If you want to take a shower before we go I'd ask Josh to clean it up first…" Drake laughed. "We gotta go to the autograph thing in a little while!"

Camryn smiled. So did Drake because he knew behind her smile was excitement but also pain. "A smile? I missed that." He said, pulling her closer, gently. Camryn started giggling. "Watch it!"

"Still here." Megan said quietly, her eyes on the floor.

"Sorry, Megs." Drake smiled at his sister.

"Oh, crap! I don't have any clothes!" Camryn exclaimed. "I gotta go call Chris! Be right back." Camryn ran down the hall to get the phone but then realized she had no idea where it was.

"Now do you see what I'm talking about, Drake?" Megan whispered.

"You mean that little thing…? That was nothing!" Drake laughed. "If this was bothering you so much, why didn't you tell me or Cam about it?"

"Drake?" Camryn called from down the hall, still looking for the phone.

"It's on my bed, Cam!" Drake yelled.

"Nevermind!" Camryn announced.

"Megs, you can't tell me she's not funny." He laughed, looking Megan straight in the eyes. "I gotta go talk to Brent to see if he's coming, you gonna come downstairs?"

"No, thanks…"

"Alright. Love ya, Megs." Drake smiled then went downstairs to meet Brent. "Dude, what's going on?"

Camryn was in the shower when Drake and Brent came upstairs to rehearse for a few minutes until everyone was ready and had arrived at the house. Drake and Brent had just walked past the bathroom door when Brent realized that the amazing voice he thought was just in his head was actually coming from the bathroom…and Drake heard it too."

"Who's in the bathroom, Drake?" Brent asked, in a bit of an excited voice.

"I think that's Cam." Drake said, looking surprised. He knocked on the door. "Cam? Is that you?"

Camryn jumped with a small shriek of terror not realizing it was only her boyfriend knocking on the door. "Yes, you scared me!"

"I meant the singing! I've never heard you sing like that before, it's amazing!" Drake said, to the door.

"Really? Thanks! I'll be out in a few!" Camryn exclaimed.

About 10 minutes later, she came out of the bathroom… wearing Drake's pajama bottoms and his hoodie!

"Nice outfit!" Brent laughed.

"Thanks, doofus! Camryn said, sarcastically. "Chris is bringing my jeans. I can't go near the house, yet."

"It's alright, you look cute." Drake said, leaning in to give her a kiss.

"I really don't have a choice now do I?" Camryn smiled, putting her arm around his shoulders.

"I'm here, girlie!" Bec screamed, walking towards the stairs.

Camryn screamed and ran towards her best friend. "We're going to meet the Backstreet Boys!" she announced, very excitedly. The two of them started jumping up and down, shrieking enthusiastically like little girls.

Drake looked at Brent, and then fell against the wall. Brent whispered, "You tried, dude… you can't separate a girl and her best friend for anything…"

"I heard that!" Camryn laughed. "And yes, you can…" she ran over to him and gave Drake a kiss.

"Now that's more like it…" Drake said, looking at Brent. Brent rolled his eyes, "How long's that gonna last…"

"With Camryn, you really never know…" Drake leaned in and kissed her again…it lasted longer that time but Megan interrupted.

"Hey boob, get a room!" She demanded, sarcastically, as if to say, I'm still here, but with an attitude. Then her mom called her downstairs because the phone was for her.

"I'll be back…" she protested.

About 5 minutes later, there was angry and upset screaming coming from her room. Then she came out into the hallway, her eyes flooding with tears and completely bloodshot.

"Megs, what's wrong?" Camryn asked, backing away from Drake, whose back was against the wall still.

"Don't call me that! Only Drake calls me that!" Megan screamed, finally hitting the edge.

"Hey! Megan! What's up with you!" Drake asked, trying to shake his sister out of it for a moment.

"Nick broke up with me…" Megan sobbed.

"When can I call and thank him?" Drake exclaimed, a little too happily.

Camryn elbowed him in the stomach, then whispered in an I-can't-believe-you-just-said-that-voice, "What the hell is wrong with you! That was probably the most insensitive thing I've ever heard you say." Then turned back to Megan. "Come here for a minute, Megan." She said, walking down the hallway to Megan's bedroom. "Just ignore Drake for a minute and tell me what happened."

Drake hid outside the door of Megan's bedroom, absolutely silent. Listening.

"He said I wasn't pretty enough. Or popular enough." Megan sobbed. "It hurt."

"I know." Camryn whispered, hugging Megan. She knew exactly how Megan felt. She heard it from many guys before, although it wasn't true, it was the break-up line every guy used on her. "You know before I met your brother, I used to hear that more than enough from guys and sometimes even other people. Now I never do… and you know why?"

Megan looked up. "Why?"

"Because ever since I first met Drake, even before we started dating, anyone that even thought about saying it, Drake gave them a reason not to say a thing, even the girls he met before we were going out… he protected me from everybody, even if he didn't have to." Camryn smiled.

Drake smiled and turned around the corner, "Megan… I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I was joking around but I forgot it was the same situation with Cam and I wasn't thinking about what I said before I said it…" He knew Camryn was gonna talk to him about it later on maybe at school on Monday but he didn't want to feel completely guilty for not saying something before hand.

"See what I mean?" Camryn whispered.

Megan ran over to her big brother and gave him a hug. "It's okay, Drake." Drake returned her hug and went back in the hall, happier than before.

Bec and Brent were talking but Drake wasn't really listening because he knew he still would get scolded by Camryn for saying what he did even if he had apologized. Then he finally spoke up, "Bec, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Um…sure?" Bec said a little confused.

"I'm gonna go get something to eat… Cam, you wanna come?" Brent asked quickly, brushing past Bec and Drake.

"Are you kidding! I haven't eaten anything all morning!" Camryn exclaimed, rushing downstairs.

Once Camryn and Brent were gone, Drake started talking. "How am I gonna explain to Cam what I said to Megan earlier! I apologized for it and Megan forgave me but Camryn's still gonna ask me about it! You've been best friends with her like 15 years, you've gotta atleast have an idea about what she's gonna say or what I'm supposed to do!"

"16 years. But I'd say since you apologized she's definitely gonna go lighter on you… Just in case though, I'd watch what you say to her tonight, when this all goes down 'cause she knows how Megan feels and that could be dangerous if you don't think before you speak." Bec whispered.

"Right. And how did you know all this?" Drake asked, sounding very confused.

"Like I said before, 16 years. You've known her like 6 years; you should still know how to talk to her about crap like this. First off, apologize to her, too…" Bec said, knowingly.

"Yeah, I know I should but, I don't. I'll apologize to her in the car so she has to listen to me…" Drake whispered.

"So you were listening to me well enough to figure out what I meant…" Bec laughed.

"Drake!" Camryn called from downstairs. "Everyone's here. Let's go!"

"Coming, Cammy!" Drake yelled, sweetly. "You coming, Meg?"

"Right behind you, dork." Megan said, quietly in her not-so-enthusiastic-voice.

Once everyone was downstairs there was a total of 10 people. Drake, Camryn, Josh, Brent, and Bec in Bec's car. Justin, Megan, Alex, Chris, and Keara in Chris' car.

Obviously, Bec was driving her car and Chris was driving his so there were 4 people left in each car, needing the perfect seat where they don't fight with anyone around them. Brent ended up sitting in the front, Camryn sat in the back on the left(behind Bec), Drake sat in the middle, and Josh sat on the right(behind Brent). In the other car, Chris and Alex sat in the front, Justin sat in the middle of the back, Keara sat in the left(behind Chris), and Megan sat on the right(behind Alex).

Drake and Camryn were talking the whole ride, Brent and Bec were listening to the music, and Josh was pretty much just gazing out the window.

"Hey, Drake?" Brent asked, trying to shut them up for a minute.

Drake turned towards Brent, "What?"

"What's wrong with your sister, I know her boyfriend just broke up with her but she seems pretty quiet for the Megan I know…" Brent asked, gesturing his head towards Camryn's window.

Drake and Camryn looked at Megan out the window. Then Camryn turned around and looked at Drake as if, with her eyes, she was asking what was wrong with Megan.

"You've gotta talk to her…" Drake whispered. "She thinks she's losing me to you…"
