Brizee sat there backstage at the concert, watching the Backstreet Boys on the screen. She was married to AJ. But she was sneaking around with Nick. She knew they would be staying in the city for two more days. She left a note for AJ saying that she was heading home. She got her stuff and went back to the hotel and went to AJ’s suite and got her stuff and went to Nick’s suite and closed the door and changed into some lingerie. She hid her stuff and sat on Nick’s bed. Two hours later, she heard the door open and close. She peeked out and saw Nick locking up the door. She stood in the doorway and looked at him. He turned and saw her and smiled.

        “AJ said you went home,” Nick said coming towards her. Brizee shrugged as Nick took her into his arms and kissed her deeply.

        “Well, I wanted to be sneaky,” Brizee said as she pressed her body against him. He moaned and pushed her against the wall and kissed her hungrily. She lifted up her leg and he grabbed it and held it and slid his hand up to her bottom and cupped her butt cheek and grinded his hips against hers. He lifted her up and grabbed her ass and moved over to the bed and removed the lingerie and his clothes. He laid on top of her and pushed inside her body. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed him deeper inside her. They moved together. She held onto him as he went fast and hard. He kissed her deeply and moved and kissed her neck and moved down and sucked her nipples. She moaned his name as she came around him. He kissed her and moaned as he came spilling himself inside her body. He laid on top of her and kissed her softly and cupped her face in his hands.

        “This is getting out of hand but I can’t stop this,” Nick said kissing her tenderly.

        “I know, oh god, I can’t stop this, I want this all the time,” Brizee said.

        “What about AJ?” Nick asked.

        “I decided to leave him for you,” Brizee said.

        “Briz,” Nick said.

        “He’s having an affair, too, I found out after we started,” Brizee said.

        “Leave him, be mine forever,” Nick said.

        “I want to be yours,” Brizee said. He smiled and kissed her and made love to her again.

Two days later, Brizee snuck out to Nick’s bus and hid in the back before the rest of the guys came out of their hotel rooms. She called AJ.

        “Briz,” AJ said.

        “AJ, I’m calling to tell you that I’m on the way back and we need to talk, I’ll meet you guys in Houston at the venue,” Brizee said.

        “Okay, I’ll see you there, and I’m glad, I miss you,” AJ said.

        “I miss you, too, bye,” Brizee said as she hung up and sat there. Nick got on the bus. AJ ran on.

        “Hey Kaos, Briz is coming back, she wants to talk to me, have any clues why?” AJ asked.

        “She’s your wife, Bone,” Nick said putting his stuff down on the couch.

        “She sounded serious,” AJ said.

        “Maybe she has some news for you or something that is important,” Nick said.

        “Oh god, she might be pregnant,” AJ said.

        “Who knows,” Nick said.

        “See ya in Houston!” AJ said. He got off the bus. The door closed and the bus moved and headed out on the road. Nick came back and saw her and smiled. She jumped on him and they landed on the bed and removed each other’s clothes and made love. They made love off and on all the way to Houston. The buses pulled up in front of the venue and Nick got off the bus. Brizee waited a good hour before sneaking off the bus and into the venue. She saw the guys up onstage.

        “Hi guys,” Brizee said waving at them. AJ jumped off the stage and hugged her.

        “I’m so glad you are here,” AJ said.

        “Yeah, sure you are,” Brizee said.

        “What,” AJ said.

        “I think you know what I’m talking about,” Brizee said. AJ looked at her.

        “Baby, what is going on,” AJ said.

        “I know all about it, AJ, you and Amanda,” Brizee said. AJ’s eyes widened.

        “Briz, it didn’t mean anything,” AJ said.

        “Oh really, if it didn’t why did it go on for five months, Amanda told me everything, she had to brag about the hot sex and how she got you away from me, how you enjoyed it and thought she was better than me in bed, well, she can have you because I’m done,” Brizee said. She pulled off her rings and threw them at him and walked out the door. AJ stood there. Howie, Brian, and Nick jumped off the stage.

        “AJ,” Brian said.

        “What have I done,” AJ said.

        “What did you do,” Howie said.

        “Didn’t you guys hear them,” Nick said.

        “What, I wasn’t paying attention,” Howie said.

        “AJ cheated on Briz, for five months, with Amanda, Amanda told Briz everything,” Nick said.

        “How could you do this, AJ,” Brian said. They went outside. They saw Brizee leaning against Nick’s bus. Nick went to her and hugged her.

        “I can’t believe this,” Brizee said.

        “Briz, we are sorry about what happened, if you need anything, let us know,” Brian said.

        “Thanks, B,” Brizee said. She hugged him and Howie.

        “So what are you going to do now,” Nick said.

        “I don’t know, I better go home and pack up my stuff at the house and file for a divorce,” Brizee said.

        “Hey, you can stay at my place,” Nick said.

        “Nick, I couldn’t, he’s one of your best friends,” Brizee said.

        “But you were my best friend first,” Nick said.

        “Are you sure,” Brizee said.

        “Yes,” Nick said. Brizee hugged him and got a cab and went to the airport. She got on the plane and the plane started taking off and suddenly the plane started shaking and everyone was screaming.

Nick sat backstage at the venue watching TV when the news came on. He listened and his eyes widened. He called for the guys. AJ, Brian, and Howie came running and they saw the news. AJ’s phone rang.

        “Hello, this is him, what, are you sure, I’m on my way,” AJ said.

        “AJ,” Nick said.

        “There was survivors, Briz was one of them, that was the hospital, she was just brought in,” AJ said. He went out the door. Brian, Howie, and Nick followed. They went to the hospital.  AJ went to the nurses station.

        “May I help you, sir?” a nurse asked.

        “I got a phone call that my wife was brought in, Brizee McLean,” AJ said.

        “Yes, sir, she’s in room 111,” the nurse said.

        “Can they come with me, they are family,” AJ said.

        “Sure,” the nurse said. The guys walked down the hall. A doctor came out of Brizee’s room.

        “Doctor,” AJ said.

        “Are you Mrs. McLean’s husband?” the doctor asked.

        “Yes, I’m AJ McLean,” AJ said.

        “I’m Dr. Jones, I just finished examining your wife,” the doctor said.

        “What happened to her, besides the plane crash, what are her injuries?” AJ asked. Nick moved around and looked in and saw Brizee lying there with bandages around her eyes and head.

        “Oh god,” Nick said. AJ looked in.

        “Dr. Jones?” AJ asked.

        “There was damage to her eyes and a few cuts and bruises,” Dr. Jones asked.

        “Is she blind?” AJ asked.

        “Temporally, won’t know for sure until the cuts heal,” Dr. Jones said.

        “Can we go in?” Brian asked.

        “They are family,” AJ said.

        “Sure,” Dr. Jones said. They quietly went in. Brizee moved her head.

        “Who’s there?” Brizee asked.

        “It’s us, Briz,” Brian said.

        “Brian,” Brizee said. Brian squeezed her hand.

        “Nick, are you here?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah, I’m here,” Nick said.

        “And Howie?” Brizee asked.

        “I’m here, Briz,” Howie said.

        “AJ?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah, I’m here, a nurse called me,” AJ said.

        “That’s how you guys knew I was here, I’m glad they called you guys, I was scared,” Brizee said.

        “Not as scared as we were, we thought we lost you, all of us did,” AJ said.

        “AJ,” Brizee said.

        “I know I hurt you, Briz, but you are my wife, and I care about you, I know I screwed up and the marriage is over, but I would like to at least still be friends,” AJ said.

        “Thank you, AJ,” Brizee said.

        “Plus I know about you and Nick,” AJ said.

        “What,” Brizee said.

        “What,” Nick said.

        “What,” Brian and Howie said.

        “While I was sleeping with Amanda, Brizee and Nick were together,” AJ said.

        “How did you find out?” Nick asked.

        “I saw how you two were with each other, acting like a couple, and Marcus said he saw you sneak into Nick’s room with your bags, I knew you didn’t go home, you snuck into Nick’s room and then to his bus, you stayed on the tour in Nick’s bus,” AJ said.

        “AJ, I’m sorry,” Brizee said.

        “Briz, we are even,” AJ said.

        “What do we do now?” Brizee asked.

        “Briz, I know you want to be with Nick, I still want Amanda, I think we should end the marriage and be with the ones we truly want to be with, and still be friends,” AJ said. Brizee smiled.

        “Are you sure?” Brizee asked.

        “Yes, I am,” AJ said. He shook Nick’s hand.

        “You take good care of her, Kaos,” AJ said.

        “I will,” Nick said.

Two days later, Brizee was released from the hospital. Nick helped her to his bus and carried her to the bed. He laid her down on it and she felt him lay down beside her and he pulled her close.

        “I’m scared, Nicky,” Brizee said.

        “About what, baby,” Nick said.

        “What if I never get to see again,” Brizee said.

        “We won’t know until the bandages come off,” Nick said. Brizee sighed.

        “Please don’t leave me,” Brizee said.

        “Never, you are with me forever, we are together now and I’m going to take care of you, you have me always, when I’m onstage and stuff, Billy will stick by your side like glue,” Nick said. They went to sleep in each other’s arms. Brizee woke up and felt around her and knew the bed was empty. She sat up and listened.

        “Nick!” Brizee called. She heard footsteps.

        “Hey Briz, we’re in Chicago, the guys are in the venue,” Billy said.

        “Oh okay,” Brizee said.

        “You want to go inside,” Billy said.

        “Yeah,” Brizee said. He helped her up and helped her off the bus and inside to the backstage area.

Nick, Brian, AJ, and Howie came backstage and saw her with Billy. He came over to them.

        “Here’s Nick,” Billy said as Nick took her in his arms.

        “Nick,” Brizee said.

        “Yeah, baby, it’s me, you okay,” Nick said.

        “Yeah, just got lonely on the bus,” Brizee said. He picked her up and carried her down to his dressing room. Brian went with them and opened the door for them.

        “Thanks, Frick,” Nick said.

        “Thank you, Brian,” Brizee said.

        “You rest, okay,” Brian said.

        “I will,” Brizee said. Nick laid her on the couch as Brian closed the door. Nick sat on the couch and laid her head on his lap and stroked her forehead.

        “I hate this,” Brizee said.

        “I know, Briz, but it’ll be okay, you have all of us around you, you aren’t alone, you know if you need anything, Billy will be there to get it and me, or the guys,” Nick said.

        “What about making love, Nick, I can’t look into your eyes when you are making love to me,” Brizee said.

        “You don’t need to, baby, you can imagine yourself looking into my eyes, you know my eye color, you know how I make you feel, you know me inside and out,” Nick said. Brizee sighed.

        “But I can’t make love with you unless I know it’s you, what if someone grabs me and acts like you and talks like you,” Brizee said.

        “You will know it’s me, baby, I will not leave you alone, either me or Billy will be you so you will never be alone, Billy will be by your side like glue unless I’m with you,” Nick said. He stroked her cheek.
        “I just don’t want to lose you,” Brizee said.

        “You are stuck with me, baby,” Nick said.

That night, while Nick was onstage, Billy sat in Nick’s dressing room with Brizee.

        “Billy?” Brizee asked.

        “I’m here, Briz, not moving until Nick gets back,” Billy said. Brizee nodded and laid back down. The door opened and Nick came in.

        “Hey Billy, show’s over,” Nick said.

        “Okay, I think she’s still awake,” Billy said. Nick went to Brizee.

        “Nick?” Brizee said.

        “I’m here, baby,” Nick said kneeling down beside the couch.

        “Show over?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah, it is,” Nick said.

        “I wish I could have seen it,” Brizee said.

        “It’s okay, baby, you’ve seen it so many times, it doesn’t change,” Nick said. Brizee nodded.

        “Is it time to go?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah,” Nick said. He got their stuff together and Billy took the bags to the bus. Nick checked around and picked her up and carried her out the door and carried her to the bus. Brian, AJ, and Howie were waiting outside.

        “Hey guys,” Brian said.

        “Brian?” Brizee said.

        “Yeah, Briz,” Brian said.

        “Where’s AJ,” Brizee said.

        “I’m here, Briz,” AJ said.

        “Did you get the papers?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah, we can go over them later,” AJ said.

        “Okay,” Brizee said. They went onto the next city. Brizee laid on the bed. Nick closed the door and joined her on the bed.

        “I’m here, baby, I’m not going anywhere,” Nick said. He kissed her softly.
