Brizee went to work. On her way, she saw Nick and Brian sitting in the food court. She stopped at the McDonalds and got a drink. She went onto work without looking at the guys. She went into the Sports Authority and saw Andrea with their boss.

      Brizee, how are you feeling today? Matt asked.

      Im feeling okay today, Brizee said softly.

      Andrea said you had three guys in here looking for you yesterday, Matt said.

      Yeah, my ex and his friends, Brizee said.

      They said some hurtful things to her, Matt, she was so upset and she couldnt concentrate, Andrea said.

      Well, if they say anything to you again, Brizee, just call the mall security, Matt said.

      I will, Brizee said. A whole crowd of girls came in.

      There she is! one girl said.

      Ladies, Matt said.

      Shes Nick Carters wife, another girl said.

      What! Brizee said.

      You bitch! a girl said.

      You hurt Nick! another girl said.

      You will pay for hurting him! another girl said.

      There has to be a mistake, Matt said.

      Its all over the news, Nick announced it himself, one girl said. Brizee looked at them.

      Look, everyone, Brizee left him because she couldnt be what Nick wanted her to be, she didnt like herself when she was with him, she was being someone she wasnt, Andrea said.

      And who are you, a girl said.

      Im her best friend here, and I know her better than you, she is not a bad person, she didnt hurt Nick, she was setting him free to be with whoever he wanted to be with, Andrea said. The crowd left. Brizee went to the backroom and kicked a box.

      That jerk, he did it on purpose, he wanted me to get mobbed and attacked! Brizee said.

      That bastard, Andrea said.

      I saw him at the food court with Brian, Brizee said.

      Lets go, Andrea said. She went out with Brizee and Matt behind her. Matt closed the store and together they headed to the food court. Matt went over and grabbed Nick and pulled him out of the chair. Billy came over.

      Billy, dont, Brizee said.

      Its my job to protect Nick, Billy said.

      And me since everyone knows that Im Nicks wife, Brizee said. Billy nodded and stepped back.

      What do you want, Nick said.

      I want to know why you told the whole world that Im your wife, you said it was over, why tell the world, why send a whole bunch of angry girls after me, Brizee said.

      Yeah, Nick, a whole bunch of girls came into the Sports Authority calling Brizee a bitch saying that Brizee hurt you when all she was doing was setting you free to be with anyone you wanted, Andrea said.

      Im tired of hiding everything, Nick said.

      So you come out and tell everyone that Brizee is your wife, you put her life at risk! Andrea said.

      You know, she is right, Brian said.

      Look, I was mad and angry and upset! Nick said.

      So you put Brizees life at risk, you know what the fans will do to her! Brian said.

      Look, Im sorry, okay, I do stuff without thinking! Nick said.

      Billy, you need to protect Brizee now, everywhere she is, you will be, Brian said.

      Got it, Billy said.

      Lets get back to work, girls, Matt said. Brizee and Andrea followed him as Billy followed them. Nick looked at Brian.

      Brian, Nick said.
