Three months went by and the guys were still on tour. Brizee and
Theresa have been noticing a change in AJ. Hes always out all night and drinking
and late to soundchecks. Brizee walked up to Nick after they were done practicing.
Hey
baby, Nick said hugging her and rubbing her tummy. She saw AJ go backstage.
Nicky,
Im worried about AJ, Brizee said.
What
do you mean, Nick said.
He
doesnt look too good, hes been drinking and out all night, and late, Nick, somethings wrong, Brizee said.
Ill
talk to him, okay, Nick said kissing her forehead. He went backstage. Brizee
followed. She went to Nicks dressing room and closed the door. She sat down and heard the door lock. She looked up and saw
AJ standing there.
J,
what are you doing in here? Brizee asked.
I
need to talk to you, AJ said.
AJ,
Nicks looking for you, he wants to talk, he wants to help you, Brizee said.
You
are the only one who can help me, AJ said.
AJ,
just find Nick, okay, I need to rest, this pregnancy is really making me exhausted a lot, Brizee said. He sat down beside her.
Briz,
I know you are Nicks girl, and I know you are having his baby, but I fell for you, AJ said.
Oh
god, Brizee said.
I
cant help it, Im jealous because Nick got you first, AJ said.
AJ,
I love Nick with everything in me and he loves me, I do love you, AJ but not the way I love Nick, you are like a brother to
me, Brizee said.
I
need you, Briz, AJ said.
No,
AJ, Brizee said. She got up and headed for the door. AJ pulled her back and she landed on the couch and he got on top of her.
AJ,
dont, please, Brizee said.
I
want you, AJ said. He pulled her clothes off.
AJ,
stop! Brizee said crying. He pulled his pants off and he kissed her.
You
want this, you know it, AJ said as he pushed inside her. Brizee cried softly. He came and spilled himself inside her. He
kissed her cheek and looked at her. He saw that she was crying and he soon realized what he did.
Oh
god, AJ said. He got up and put his pants on.
Go
away, Brizee cried.
Briz,
Im sorry, AJ said. Brizee got dressed slowly as she cried.
GET
OUT! Brizee shouted. AJ ran out and closed the door behind him. Brizee laid on
the couch and cried. Nick came in and saw her.
Briz,
Nick said. He knelt down beside her.
Nicky,
Brizee said reaching out for him. He took her into his arms and held her as she cried.
Baby,
what is it, whats wrong, what did AJ do? Nick asked.
He
hurt me, Nicky, Brizee said crying.
He
hurt you? Nick asked.
Yes,
Brizee said crying. Nick went out and found AJ talking to Howie.
AJ!
Nick shouted.
What,
AJ said.
How
could you hurt my girlfriend! Nick said angrily.
Hurt
her? AJ asked.
She
said you hurt her, what did you do to her, AJ, and I want the TRUTH! Nick said. Brian
and Kevin got behind Nick.
I
fucked her, okay, thats what I did! AJ said.
YOU
FUCKING BASTARD! Nick said as he lounged for him but Brian and Kevin held him back.
Nick,
Im sorry, I fell for her, and I wanted her so I fucked her, AJ said.
YOU
SON OF BITCH! Nick said angrily.
AJ,
did she say no or yes, Howie said.
She
said no, she begged me to stop, but I wouldnt listen, I guess its rape, AJ said.
YOU
BASTARD! Nick yelled. Kevin and Brian kept their hold on him.
Nick,
calm down, go to Briz, she needs you now, we cant have a fight going on, Kevin said. Nick looked at AJ evilly.
As
of now, any type of friendship we had is over! You are NOTHING to me! Nick yelled. He went back to his dressing room. Brian and Kevin looked at AJ.
How
could you be so stupid, AJ, Kevin said.
I
messed up, okay, now I lost two friends, unless I have lost everyone, AJ said.
AJ,
you have a problem, you need to get help, man, we need you here and if you kept it up, something might happen and we could
lose you, Howie said.
Nick walked into his dressing room and closed the door. Brizee was lying on the couch.
Baby,
Nick said softly. Brizee got up and walked over to him.
Nick,
I love you, it wasnt my fault, I told him no, Brizee said crying.
Shh,
I know, okay, Nick said hugging her close.
I
dont want to lose you, Brizee cried.
You wont, baby, I promise, Nick said. They sat down and cuddled.
