The next day, Brizee went over to Brian
and Brittanys. She walked in and saw Brian sitting on the couch.
Hey bro, wheres Britt? Brizee said.
Resting, what are you doing here, Brian said.
I came home, Brizee said.
You forgave him, didnt you, Brian said.
He explained everything, I almost lost the baby, Brian, I was scared, and Nick was right there with me and never left
my side, Brizee said.
He cheated on you! Brian said.
No, he didnt, he never did anything with that girl, he said he woke up with his clothes on, Brian, he never lies to
me, I can tell when hes lying, not once since he and I have known each other did he ever lie to me, Brizee said.
Well, he still hurt you by drinking! Brian said.
He promised not to drink again, Brizee said.
He promised last time, Brian said.
Why did you let him drink, then! Brizee said.
I dont know, okay, Brian said.
Brian, you are my brother and no one can replace you in my life, okay, but could you at least find it in your heart
to forgive him, can you forgive your Frack, Brizee said. Brian looked at her.
All right, Brian said. He went upstairs and came back down a few minutes later and went home with her. They walked
in and saw Nick lounging on the couch. He looked up and saw Brian. He sat up.
Hi Frack, Brian said.
Hi, Nick said.
Look, Briz told me you two are back together, I just want to say Im sorry for what I did, Brian said.
I deserved it, Nick said.
Friends? Brian said.
You bet! Nick said. They hugged. Brian hugged Brizee and left. Brizee sat down beside him.
I love you so much, Nick said holding her close.
I love you, too, Brizee said.
The next day, Nick went to meet the
guys for a band meeting. Brizee sat there thinking and she smiled. Howies birthday
was coming up and she decided to have a surprise party for him, but she then decided not to tell any of the guys. She started
making plans.
Two days later, the guys got notes
to come to the banquet hall for a meeting. The guys met at Nicks house.
Wheres my sister at, Brian said.
I dont know, okay, lets go, Nick said. They went to the banquet hall.
Okay, it says to have Howie walk in first, Nick said.
Why me, Howie said.
Thats what the notes say, Brian said. Howie walked in and the lights went on.
SURPRISE! everyone said. Howie saw his family and everyone else. He saw Theresa and Brittany. He looked at the guys.
Some meeting, AJ said.
You mean you guys didnt know anything about this, Howie said.
No, Kevin said.
No, Nick said.
No, Brian said.
No, AJ said. Howie looked at them.
Hey Howie, happy birthday, Theresa said hugging him.
Thanks, T, um, whose idea was this? Howie said.
Brizees, Theresa said.
Where is she? Nick asked.
She went to get the cake, she should be back soon, Theresa said.
By herself? Nick asked.
BJs with her, Brittany said after hugging Howie.
Okay, Nick said.
A half an hour later, Theresa looked
at the door. She looked at Kevin.
Kev, Briz and BJ should have been back by now, Theresa said.
I wonder whats keeping them, Kevin said. His cell phone rang.
Hello, yes, what, oh no, okay, well be right there, Kevin said. He hung up and looked at Theresa.
What is it, Theresa said.
That was the hospital, BJ and Brizee were in a car accident, Kevin said.
Oh no, we better get the guys, Theresa said.
Kevin went up on the little stage and
stopped the music. Everyone looked at him.
Everyone, well have to continue this another time, an emergency came up, sorry, we will call you with a new day and
time, Kevin said. He got off as Howie, AJ, Brian, Brittany, and Nick came up to him.
What is it, Nick said.
We have to get to the hospital, now, Kevin said as he walked out the door with Theresa. They all went to the hospital.
They met at the elevators and went up. They got off at the VIP floor and Nick saw his parents.
What is going on, Nick said.
Nick, BJ and Briz were in a car accident, Kevin said. Nick went over to his parents.
Mom, Dad, Nick said.
Oh honey, Jane said hugging him.
What is going on, Nick said.
BJ and Briz were in a car accident, Jane said.
How are they? Nick asked.
BJ is fine, just a few cuts and bruises, Bob said.
What about Briz, Nick said.
Nick, shes on life support, they are trying to keep her and the baby alive, Bob said. Nick sat down.
Nick, they said if she doesnt wake up soon, then she wont at all, Jane said.
No, she has to be okay, she has to wake up, Nick said.
Nick, they said you have to make a choice, if you want Briz to live, they have to remove the baby, Jane said.
Shes only six months along! Nick said.
I know, but it might be her only chance of living, Jane said.
I dont want to lose my baby! Nick said getting up.
Do you want Brizee to live, Jane said.
You know I do! Nick said.
This is her only chance of that, Nick, honey, you two can try again, Jane said.
Nick, you need to answer now, Bob said. Nick looked at his parents.
I want to see her, Nick said. Dr. Kelly came out.
Dr. Kelly, Nick wants to see Brizee, Jane said.
Im afraid thats impossible, Dr. Kelly said.
What do you mean, Jane said.
Shes in surgery, we have to remove the baby, Dr. Kelly said.
I didnt give you an answer! Nick said.
Brizee and I were talking at her last appointment, she said if anything happens to her, if we had to choose between
saving her life and the babys, she said save her first, because she can have more babies, Dr. Kelly said.
So it was her choice, Nick said.
Yes, Nick, but we are going to try to save the baby as well, there is a chance we can save the baby, Dr. Kelly said.
Do what you have to do, I cant lose Brizee, Dr. Kelly, I cant, Nick said.
I will, Nick, Dr. Kelly said. She went down the hall. Nick sat down and prayed.
