That night at the
show, Theresa, Brizee, and Brittany were in Nicks dressing room.
When
can I see Kevin? Theresa asked.
After
we sing, Theresa, we are the opening act, we are only singing two songs, only you two are singing backup for me, Brizee said.
What
songs? Theresa asked.
Britney
Spears songs, Im Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman and Overprotected, Brizee said.
Cool,
Theresa said.
Nick came in and kissed Brizee softly. She smiled up at him. He
sat down.
Well,
Brizee said.
Youre
all set, Kevins in disguise in the front row with Howie, AJ and Brian are talking with the band, the dancers are ready to
come out on Overproteted, its all set, Nick said. Brizee kissed his cheek.
We
are ready, Brizee said. Brittany and Theresa nodded.
Okay,
in the middle of Im Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, Theresa, Brittany, you will join Brizee up front and Kevin will see you then,
he still doesnt know, until that time you two join Briz up front, youll be in the dark, Nick said.
Okay,
lets go! Brittany said. They went out. They walked out on the dark stage.
Performing
two songs tonight, here is Brizee Hardin, she is singing Im Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, and Overprotected, both originally
sung by Britney Spears, Nick said from backstage. The music started up and Brizee performed the song. In the middle of the song, Theresa and Brittany came up to her and together, they sang. Brizee saw Kevin
and Howie and Kevin was smiling. After the song was over, the whole crowd cheered.
Brizee performed Overprotected. After the song was over, they went backstage. Nick hugged Brizee tight.
You
were great, baby, Nick said.
Thanks,
Brizee said kissing his neck.
Kevin comes backstage and hugs Theresa.
Can
we talk later? Kevin said
Yeah,
Theresa said smiling up at him.
After the show, Brizee walked out to Nicks bus. She got on and
went to the back and laid down on the bed. She stroked her tummy. Nick came in.
Hey
baby, Nick said closing the door.
Hey,
Brizee said tiredly.
Tired?
Nick asked laying down beside her.
Yeah,
Im always tired, Brizee said.
I
love you, Nick said.
I
love you, too, Brizee said.
Sleep,
babe, you need it, Nick said kissing her neck. Brizee smiled.
Night,
Brizee said sleepily.
Night
baby, Nick said resting his hand on her stomach. She drifted off to sleep after putting her hand over his. The next morning, Brizee woke up and saw Nick gone. She sat up and looked around and saw that she was still
on the bus. She went to the front and saw fans everywhere. She saw the hotel.
Hey
Briz, Bud said.
Is
everyone inside? Brizee asked.
Yeah,
Nick asked me to wait here for you until you woke up, he and the guys had to get to the venue, they were dropped off at the
venue and we drove over here, the girls are inside waiting for you, come on, Bud said. He got off the bus with her and locked
it up and went in with her. Someone grabbed her arm. Brizee turned and saw a girl.
Who
are you! the girl said.
Im
Brizee, Brizee said.
Oh,
sorry, the girl said letting go.
You
should be, Brizee said walking inside. Bud looked at the girl.
Sorry,
she just woke up from sleeping, shes really tired, shes always nice to the fans, just having a bad morning, Bud said. He went
inside. Brizee was at the front desk.
Come
on, I am with the Backstreet Tour, Brizee said. Bud came up.
Im
sorry, maam, but we cant let you know the room number, the hotel clerk said.
Call
up to Brian Littrells or Kevin Richardsons room and ask the girls! Brizee said.
Im
sorry, miss, I cant do that, the clerk said.
Bud,
Brizee said.
Maam,
Im one of the bus drivers for the tour, she is Nick Carters girlfriend and shes pregnant with his baby, okay, let her go to
his room, Bud said.
Im
sorry, sir, I was given instructions from Mr. Carter himself to not let her up, the clerk said.
Thats
ridiculous, Brizee said.
Are
you sure about that, Bud said.
Yes,
Im positive, I was also ordered to have her leave the hotel permanently, the clerk said.
That
is not like Nick, Brizee said.
Somethings
wrong here, Bud said.
I
have known Nick since we were kids, he wouldnt do this, Brizee said with tears in her eyes.
Come
on, lets go down to the venue, Bud said. They got on the bus and Bud went down to the venue.
They walked in and saw the guys.
Hey
Briz, Bud, what are you two doing here, Nick said jumping offstage.
The
hotel clerk wont let me up to the room, thats what, she said that she has orders from you not to let me up or in the hotel
at all, Brizee said.
Its
true, Nick, whats going on, Bud said.
Briz,
you know me, I wouldnt do that, I know you need rest, Nick said.
What
is going on, Nickolas, Brizee said.
I
didnt tell the clerk anything, I didnt even go to the hotel, much less call there, Nick said.
Its
true, Briz, he was here the whole time and the cell phones are turned off, Brian said.
Then
why did the clerk say what she said, Brizee said. The guys looked at each other.
Lets go, Kevin said. They all went back to the hotel.
