Nick and Brizee walked out of the dressing room.  They saw Howie, Kevin, Theresa, Brian, and Brittany looking at AJ.  AJ was yelling at them.

      I dont have a drinking problem! AJ yelled.

      AJ, you do, you party all night and are late to everything, you are not acting like yourself, you are messing up on some routines, you have a problem and you need to get help! Kevin said.

      You are hurting us, AJ, we are your friends and you are hurting us, get some help, man, before something bad happens, Howie said.  AJ saw Brizee and Nick.  He looked at everyone.  AJ walked out of the venue.

      Marcus, go, get him, we cant do the show without him, Howie said.  Marcus went after AJ.  Nick hugged Brizee close.  Brian, Howie, and Kevin came over to them.  Brizee looked up at them.

      You okay, Briz, Brian said.

      Ill be fine, Brizee said softly.

      Come on, you guys, we have a show to get ready for, if we have to, well go on without him, Kevin said.

      Ill sing his parts, Howie said.

      Okay, Kevin said.  They went to get ready. Nick kissed Brizees forehead and went to get ready.  Brizee sat down. Theresa sat down next to her.

      Briz, whats wrong, Theresa said.

      I know he hurt me, but what is going on with AJ, why is he being this way, Brizee said.

      I dont know, Theresa said.  AJ came in with Marcus. Brizee looked away.  AJ knelt down in front of her.  Brizee looked at him.

      Briz, Im so sorry, Im sorry for hurting you and raping you, I have a drinking problem, and I want to get help, I want to be my normal self again, if I could go back in time, I wouldnt have hurt you, AJ said.

      AJ, you really hurt me, I dont think I can trust you again, what you did was wrong and I cant forgive you right now, but I could if you get help, AJ, you have a problem, you are hurting all of us, you need help, you got to check into rehab, you have to stop, please, AJ, if you want my forgiveness, you will get help, Brizee said crying.  She looked up and saw the guys standing there.

      Yes, she is, and Im going to get help, I have a problem and I have to go to rehab, AJ said.

      Thats good, well have to postpone all the shows that will happen while you are in rehab, Kevin said.

      I want to go after the tour, I can stay clean until there, I wont drink again, AJ said.

      AJ, Howie said.

      The tour and the fans are more important, we cant postpone any of the shows, AJ said.

      AJ, you are more important than the tour, you need to get help now, Kevin said. 

      Hes right, AJ, Brian said.  AJ looked at Nick. Nick looked away.  Brizee went over to him.
