Three days later,
Nick and Brian were sitting in Nicks dressing room in Calgary.
I miss her so much, Frick, Nick said.
I miss Britt, Brian said.
You miss Briz, too, dont you, Nick said.
Yeah, I do, she is my little sister, Brian said.
Thanks for letting me and Briz to continue being together, Nick said.
Nick, you and Briz deeply love each other, you two belong together, I would never
disapprove your relationship with her, you both are happy together and I know if she gets pregnant, you wont leave her, Brian
said. Nick smiled.
I would never leave her, man, she is my life, Nick said. Brian smiled.
And Britt is mine, Brian said. Nicks
cell phone rang. He grabbed it.
Hello, Nick said.
Hi Nicky! Brizee said.
Hey baby, where are you, Nick said.
Were in California, at the hospital, we have a new addition to the Backstreet Family!
Brizee said.
Kellie had the baby? Nick said.
Yup, a baby girl, Brizee said.
Tell her congrats and when are you coming back, Nick said.
Well, when Daniel is ready to come back, Brizee said.
And when is that, Nick said.
A week or so, Brizee said.
I want you back now, Nick said.
Nickolas, Brizee said.
I miss you so much, Briz, I cant stand to be away from you for another minute, or
a week! Nick said.
Nicky, just think of the reunion, baby, Brizee said.
I want it to be now, Nick said.
Nick, Ill be back in a week or so, Brizee said.
I want you back right now, Nick said.
Nick, I will be back in a week or so, Brizee said.
Briz, please, I love you so much and I need you, Nick said.
Nickolas, I will be back in a week or so, okay, Brizee said.
I want you back right now, Brizee, I cant take it anymore, Nick said.
If you are going to be that way, I might not come back at all, Brizee said. She hung
up. Nick hung up and buried his face in his hands.
What did she say, Brian said.
She said she might not come back at all, why am I stupid, Nick said.
You arent stupid, you just miss her too much, Brian said. His cell phone rang.
Hello, hey Britt, I miss you, a week or so, okay, have fun, baby, what, yeah, Ill
tell him, okay, I love you, too, bye, Brian said. He hung up and looked at Nick.
What, Nick said.
Briz said that its over between you two, Brian said. Nick sat there. He walked out
of the room and down the hall.
Yo, Nick, wanna play some cards, AJ said. Nick kept walking. He went to the workout
room and grabbed some gloves and starting punching the punching bag. AJ stood at the door.
Howie, Kevin, and Brian came up behind him.
Whats wrong with Nick? AJ asked Brian.
Briz broke up with him, Brian said.
What, why, Kevin said.
She wasnt going to be back for a week or so, he told her to come back now, she said
she wont be back for a week or so, she hung up on him, Britt called me and told me to tell Nick that Briz said it was over
between them, Brian said.
Oh man, AJ said. They looked at Nick and he was resting his forehead against the
bag and crying.
Brian, call your sister and tell her what she did to Nick, Kevin said. Brian went
back to the dressing room and called Brizees cell phone.
Hello, Brizee said.
Briz, its Brian, Brian said.
Brian, what is it, Brizee said.
Why did you break up with Nick, Brian said.
Because he cant understand why I cant come back now, I am not getting on a plane,
I refuse to, Brizee said.
Briz, hes falling apart, hes in the workout room, using the punching bag, now he
has his forehead resting on it and hes crying his eyes out, Brian said.
Brian, I have to go, Im sorry, tell Nick that Im sorry, goodbye, Brizee said. She
hung up. Brian hung up and went back out.
Well, Kevin said. Brian shook his head.
She wont come back, AJ said.
No, she wont, Brian said. Nick came over to them.
Brian, did you talk to Briz? Nick asked.
Yeah, I did, Brian said.
What did she say? Nick said.
She said you cant understand why she cant come back now, she doesnt want to get on
a plane, she refuses to, she said she is sorry, Brian said.
I have to call her, Nick said.
Nick, just let it go, Brian said.
Brian, I love her more than life itself, Nick said. He went to the dressing room
and called Brizees cell phone.
Hello, Brizee said.
Brizee, its Nick, please dont hang up, we need to talk about this, Nick said.
Nick, just let go, okay, its for the best, Brizee said.
For the best, are you crazy, I thought you loved me, Nick said.
Nick, I do, but you act like you cant live without me for a minute, I feel like I
cant do anything I want anymore, Brizee said.
Briz, we have been through a lot, okay, I almost lost you when the elevator broke
at that hotel, I just dont want to lose you, Nick said.
Nick, we need time apart, okay, you need to concentrate on the shows and all the
fans that love you guys, Brizee said.
I cant do it without you here, its like you are the reason that I can do everything
because you are my life, Briz, Nick said crying.
You said the right thing, Nicky, I am being stupid, we arent broken up, okay, but
I am coming back with Daniel in a week, okay, understand, Brizee said.
Yeah, just as long as we arent broken up, because my life would be over, Nick said.
I knew I was making a mistake, Brizee said.
A mistake? Nick asked.
Yeah, about breaking up with you, I dont know what I was thinking, Im so sorry, baby,
Brizee said.
Baby, I gotta go, okay, Ill be waiting for you, just know that, okay, I love you,
Nick said.
I love you, too, I cant wait to be in your arms again, Brizee said.
Bye baby, Nick said.
Bye, Brizee said. He hung up and sat back.
Brian came in.
Hey, how did it go, Brian said.
Briz and I are okay, we talked, we are fine now, Nick said smiling.
Thank god, Brian said. They went to practice.
