Brizee sat on the beach staring out at the ocean, thinking about everything in her life. She just found out from her parents that she was adopted. They told her who her real family was and she couldn’t believe it. She looked up and saw Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys walking down the beach with his bandmate, Brian Littrell. They walked by her.  Brizee stood up.

        “Excuse me, guys?” Brizee asked. They turned and looked at her. Brian’s eyes widened.

        “Oh god,” Brian said.

        “Brian,” Nick said. Brian walked over to her.

        “Is this a joke?” Brian asked.

        “What,” Brizee said.

        “You look alike like my mother, you have the looks of my family, is this a joke,” Brian said.

        “Uh, no, I’ve had no plastic surgery in my life time,” Brizee said.

        “You must have,’ Brian said.

        “Sorry, bro, but I haven’t,” Brizee said.

        “What,” Brian said.

        “What, your parents didn’t tell you that they had another kid five years after you and gave her up for adoption as soon as she was born, newflash, Littrell, I’m your sister, I just found out a few hours ago, okay, I’m sorry to tell you this but it is the truth, I had no plastic surgery, I look like your mom because she is my mother, too,” Brizee said. She walked down the beach.

        “Brian, you better call your mom,” Nick said.

        “Get her back here,” Brian said. Nick went down the beach after her.

        “Hey, wait up,” Nick said.

        “What do you want,” Brizee said. Nick grabbed her hand and stopped her. She looked at him.

        “Brian wants you to come back,” Nick said. Brizee looked and saw Brian on the phone. She sighed and walked back with Nick.

        “Mom, how could you do that, well, I found her here in Florida, well, she came up to me and told me the truth, how could you guys keep that from me and Harold, you gave my sister up for adoption, Mom, and never told us, you didn’t even tell Dad, he thinks she died at birth, how could you, Mom, you better fix this,” Brian said. He hung up and rubbed his head.

        “She told your father I was dead,” Brizee said.

        “Yeah, she never told anyone what she did, she didn’t want him to know the truth,” Brian said.

        “What truth?” Brizee asked.

        “She had an affair and you are the result, she had a one night stand with my uncle Jerald,” Brian said.

        “Oh my god,” Brizee said.

        “So she is your sister and Kevin’s sister,” Nick said.

        “Yeah,” Brian said.

        “So I’m your half sister, and Kevin’s half sister, better call and tell him,” Brizee said. Brian called Kevin. They went to Kevin’s house and told him and Kristin everything.

        “I can’t believe Aunt Jackie would keep this secret,” Kevin said.

        “She didn’t want to destroy her marriage to my dad and your mom and dad’s marriage,” Brian said.

        “But still, she could have said that the baby was your dad’s and been done with it,” Kevin said.

        “She does look more like Jackie, you can’t tell that she isn’t Harold’s daughter,” Kristin said.

        “We better tell the whole family,” Kevin said.

        “Your mom will be devastated,” Brian said.

        “She has always wanted a daughter, this is her chance to have one no matter what has happened,” Kevin said.

Chapter 2

Two days later, everyone was at Kevin’s house. Brizee sat in the kitchen with Nick and Kevin as everyone arrived. Ann, Tim, Jerald JR, Harold, Jackie, Harold JR, Brian, Leighanne, Howie, AJ, and Kristin sat down in the living room. Kevin went in and stood in front of everyone. 

        “We just discovered something that will change all of our lives forever, something someone hid from us,” Kevin said looking at Jackie.

        “Kevin?” Harold asked.

        “Aunt Jackie hasn’t told you the truth,” Kevin said.

        “Kevin,” Ann said.

        “Everyone knows that Jackie had a daughter five years after Brian, she told everyone that the baby died at birth, well, that isn’t true, she lied about that, the baby lived, she gave the baby up for adoption after birth,” Kevin said.

        “What!” Harold said.

        “Mom!” Harold JR said. Jackie covered her face with her hands.

        “Aunt Jackie, you want to finish the story,” Kevin said. Jackie just sat there and cried.

        “Just tell us, Kevin,” Harold said.

        “The reason she did it was because the baby wasn’t yours, Uncle Harold,” Kevin said.

        “What!” Harold said glaring at Jackie.

        “She had a one night stand with my father,” Kevin said. Ann looked at Jackie.

        “You slept with my husband, how could you!” Ann said. Jackie didn’t say anything.

        “I’m sorry,” Jackie said softly.

        “Sorry doesn’t cut it,” Brizee said from the doorway of the kitchen. Everyone looked at her.

        “Oh my god,” Harold said.

        “Sorry doesn’t make things better, what you did was unforgivable,” Brizee said.

        “She does look a lot like Mom,” Harold JR whispered to Brian.

        “You couldn’t face the truth or your husband after I was born so you gave me up like I was nothing, you told your husband and sons that I was dead, you lied to everyone, how do you live with yourself, keeping all this a secret for almost thirty years, you make me sick,” Brizee said. She went out the back door with Nick following her.
