A.N.: Hope y'all like this chapter! I decided to add the guy who was thinking 'bout Miranda. Lol. Enjoy! Plz R & R! Thanx!
Disclaimer: Tell Her About It – Billy Joel. Disney owns Miranda. Aaron and Nick Carter own themselves, and I own the story idea.
Aaron was lying in his bed at the latest Hotel he was staying at. He couldn't stop thinking about Lizzie and Miranda and how nice they'd been. He might've kissed Lizzie, but secretly, he had a crush on Miranda. From the moment he'd heard her sing, he knew he was in love. But then, then her good-looking blond-haired, fair-skinned friend has come back for her notebook and just HAD to stand under the mistletoe.
"It was tradition," he'd told himself then, though he knew deep down somewhere he had wanted to kiss Lizzie. "And I did try to sing to Miranda later during the video shoot. It's not my fault everyone kept telling me to sing to Lizzie, and that Lizzie kept coming onto me, while Miranda cared more about singing and stuff."
He groaned then, knowing he was never going to get back to sleep. He got up, stumbled about the room, then plopped down on his brother's bed. Nick happened to have some free time off from Backstreet Boys and had decided to join him on his tour for awhile.
"Nick," he said softly, shaking his brother, who was snoring softly. "Nick."
Nick woke up slowly. "W-Wha? Aaron, whatcha want Bro?"
"I need advice Nick."
"Can't it wait 'till morning, A.C.?"
"No. I can't sleep," he answered.
"So, I take it you're not gonna let me sleep now either, eh?"
He grinned at Nick in the darkness. "Nope. No can do Bro. Sorry."
Nick sat up some and pulled Aaron over so that he was sitting next to him.
"Okay, I'm awake now, so ask away."
"Um…" Aaron trailed off. "I – ah – um."
"Aaron, if you woke me up for nothing, I'll pound you for it," Nick told him, slightly joking.
"Igotgirlproblems," he blurted finally.
"What?" Nick asked confused.
"I got girl problems," he sighed.
"What's the problem?"
"Remember Miranda Sanchez?" He asked, and Nick nodded. "I like her, but kinda led everyone to believe I liked her best friend Lizzie."
Nick shook his head, then began to sing a song he thought might help his little brother out some.
Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away
You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made
Aaron looked up at Nick, kind of shocked.
"You've made mistakes that have to do with girls?" He said. "But I thought you were the king of the Carter charm?"
"A.C., I may have the Carter charm down to a tee, but that don't mean I haven't ever had any girl problems. Every guy has girl problems, just like every girl has guy problems."
"Oh. So that's why Leslie, Angel, and B.J. are always complaining about boys."
Nick chuckled. "Yeah. Now, have you talked to Miranda since your Christmas video shoot?"
Aaron nodded. "Of course. I've talked to her plenty of times, and emailed her. but I've done the same with Lizzie, kinda, 'cause Miranda said Lizzie likes me a whole lot and that HER happiness was more important than her own."
She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know
"Mommy, wow! I'm a big boy now. Dun, dun, dun," Aaron joked.
"Aaron, do you want my help or not?" Nick questioned, pretending to be annoyed by his little brother's joke. "IF you don't, then let me go back to sleep."
"I want your help Nick, or else I wouldn't have woken yah up."
"Then can the baby jokes, alright?"
"Alright," Aaron sighed, then said, "Other than not letting her tell me what to do, what else do I need to know?"
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
"I don't think there's enough time in a day to tell her everything," Aaron groaned. "And it's not exactly like I get all the free phone time I want in the world here."
"You said you emailed her, maybe you should email her what you don't tell her over the phone."
"I'm busy, she's busy. I got concerts, and school work, and the tour, while she's got school, homework, and plenty of time to hang out with her friends."
"Make the time. If you like her as much as you say you do, then try your hardest to make it work."
Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure
"How can I reassure her when we're fifty zillion miles apart?"
"Aaron, are you even listening to the song I'm singing right now?"
"Yeah."
"Then quit interrupting me and play closer attention already."
Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe
'Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
"I don't wanna lose her Nick. It's bad enough everyone thinks I've a crush on Lizzie, when I don't. Okay, sure Lizzie's a nice girl and all, but, she's just not Miranda."
"I know you don't A.C. I don't want you to lose her either."
"Do you really think all this stuff you're telling me will help?"
Nick smiled at his baby brother, as he let out a small laugh.
Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do
"Thanks Nick. I appreciate all the advice and stuff, even if it did come in the form of a song."
"Well, hey, that's what I do," Nick smirked. "I sing."
"So do I, but I don't give people advice by singing to them."
"But that's you Bro, not me," Nick said, then kissed Aaron's head, and hugged him closer. "And just remember this."
He continued the Billy Joel song he'd been singing.
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Aaron cuddled into Nick as he sang. He was sleepy now, and wanted nothing more than to sleep, so he could wake up faster and call Miranda.
Nick hoped everything would work out for his brother and friend. From what he'd heard, Miranda was just Aaron's type, and needed him as much as he needed her. He covered himself and Aaron up with the blankets on his bed, and sang the last little bit of the song.
Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait--you got to
Tell her about it
