Desiray felt a deep, human connection the moment she first heard his voice: Aaron Carter spoke to her through his music. When Desiray was down, Aaron always cheered her up. When she needed him, his music was always there. And when they finally met, it was almost as if Aaron could read her mind. Maybe the deep, human connection Desiray felt as a kid was real. Dozens of concerts later, Desiray and Aaron are almost friends \\u2014 almost. Now Desiray wonders: \\u201cCan a fan ever be a true friend?\\u201d Does Aaron value her as a friend, or as a fan? And if she\\u2019s just a fan like any other, can she live with it?
