Brizee woke up
and looked around and saw that she was in the honeymoon suite. She realized that it was a dream. There was a knock at the
door. She opened it and saw Brian, Howie, AJ, and Kevin.
Hi, Brizee said.
Hey, Briz, Brian said hugging her. They came in and closed the door.
Um, Briz, we heard a report on the news, they found a body on the beach, they dont
know the identity yet, but they think its Nick, Howie said.
No, hes not dead, I can feel it, hes not dead, Brizee said. Kevins cell phone rang.
Hello, yes, what is it, yeah, bye, Kevin said. He hung up and looked at them.
Who was that? AJ asked.
Officer Barrows, Kevin said.
And? Howie asked.
They identified the body of the man they found on the beach, Kevin said.
Kevin, who? Brian asked. Kevin looked at Brizee.
Its Nick, Kevin said as his voice shook.
No, no, its not possible, its not him! Brizee said.
Briz, they ran three tests, they came out the same, its Nick, honey, Im sorry, Kevin
said.
NO!!!! Brizee cried and broke down. Brian took her into his arms and held her as
she cried. Kevin looked at AJ and Howie. Kevin sat down and held his head in his hands. Howie and AJ looked at each other.
Brizee cried herself to sleep. Brian carried her over to the bed and covered her up. He went back to the guys.
What do we do, Brian said.
We have to be there for Brizee, AJ said.
I need to call Brittany, Brian said.
I need to call Theresa, Kevin said. They called home. AJ sat by the bed. He looked
at Howie. Howie motioned him to come over. AJ went over and they went outside the room.
AJ, what are you thinking, Howie said.
I want her, D, I always have, but I knew she belonged with Nick so I stepped aside
and let Nick be with her, AJ said.
So you think with Nick gone, you can have her, AJ, are you nuts, Nick is dead, your
best friend! And you are going to go after his wife! That is not right! Howie said. AJ looked at him.
That is not what Im thinking, Ill wait as long as she needs to, AJ said. Howie sighed
and went back in. Brian, Kevin, and Howie left. AJ sat there watching Brizee sleep. He went over and sat on the bed and watched
Brizee. She woke up and looked at AJ.
J, where is everybody? Brizee said sitting up.
They went out, AJ said.
How come you didnt go, Brizee said.
I wanted to stay with you, AJ said.
I would have been fine, Brizee said.
Briz, you just lost the man you love, you cant be alone, AJ said.
Im not going to kill myself, I have to live, for Hayley, she needs me, Brizee said.
And me and the guys will help you, AJ said.
AJ, you are hiding something, Brizee said.
I want you, Brizee, AJ said.
You what? Brizee said.
I want you, I want to be with you, AJ said.
No, no, AJ, no, I cant be with anyone, Brizee said.
Brizee, Hayley needs a father, AJ said.
A father, she has one! Brizee said.
Briz, Nick is gone, okay, nothing can bring him back, I wish there was but there
isnt! AJ said.
AJ, I dont want you! Brizee said crying.
I know you do, Brizee, AJ said.
No, I dont, I want Nick! Brizee cried.
Briz, hes not coming back, AJ said.
I know! Brizee cried. She turned away and cried. AJ wrapped his arms around her.
Im sorry, Briz, AJ said. She turned in his arms and kissed him deeply.
Make love to me, AJ, please! Brizee said crying. He picked her up and carried her
over to the bed and laid her down on it and laid on top of her and they pulled each others clothes off and made love. Afterwards
they laid there holding each other. Brizee sat up.
This was a mistake, Brizee said. She put her clothes on.
Briz, you wanted it, AJ said.
I was in pain, AJ, I was hurting, I do crazy things, Brizee said.
Briz, AJ said.
Im going home! Brizee said. She left
and went to the airport and went back to Florida.
