The door opened and Nick came in. He closed the door and locked
it. Brizee ran to him and he took her into his arms.
Baby, whats wrong, Nick said.
I hate myself, and I bet you will, too, Brizee said. She told him what happened in the elevator.
Damn him, Nick said.
Im thinking of going back to Florida, to get away from him, this is getting too hard for me, Brizee said.
Thats a good idea, baby, Nick said.
I better start packing, Brizee said. She got her stuff together and came out with her bags. Nick hugged her tight.
I love you, baby, Nick said.
I love you, too, Brizee said. He kissed her deeply.
Be careful, Nick said.
I will, Brizee said. She kissed him again and left. She went to the airport and got on the next flight to Florida.
She arrived in Florida and went to the Carters. She knocked on the door. Jane opened the door and saw her.
Hi honey, Jane said.
Can I stay here, Brizee said.
Sure, come in, Jane said. Brizee came in and they sat down on the couch and told Jane everything.
Mom, I dont know what to do, Brizee said.
You have feelings for Kevin, he wants you, Jane said.
I hate this, I love Nick with everything in me, Brizee said.
You cant help how you feel, but you got away before anything else happened, Jane said.
Jane, what do I do, I came close to giving into Kevin, Brizee said. Jane took Brizees hand.
But you didnt, you know your heart belongs to Nick, you are Mrs. Nickolas Gene Carter, Jane said.
I know, maybe I should go find Kristin and tell her about what Kevin has been doing, Brizee said.
That would be a good idea, maybe she can get him to stop, Jane said.
The next day, Brizee went to Kevins house. She rang the doorbell.
Kristin opened the door. Brizee went in and sat down and told Kristin everything.
I cant believe he would do this, I thought he loved me, Kristin said.
He came after me so much, I developed feelings for him, I had to leave to get away from him, Brizee said.
You did the right thing, Im going to go join the tour to keep an eye on him, Kristin said. Brizee nodded.
Keep an eye on Nick, too, since Im not there, Brizee said.
Nick loves you, he wouldnt do anything to hurt you, Kristin said. Brizee looked at her hands.
I love him so much, I cant lose him, Brizee said.
Im going to pack and go, Kristin said. Brizee left and went back to the Carters. She found a note. She read it and
got her stuff and went to the airport. She got on the plane and headed to where the guys were. She went to the hospital and
saw the guys and Jane, Bob, BJ, Leslie, Angel, and Aaron.
What happened, Brizee said.
He was hit by a car, the doctor said he might not make it, Brian said.
Where is he, Brizee said.
Room 123, Brian said. Brizee went down to the room. She went in and saw Nick lying there. She went over and sat down.
She took his hand in hers.
Nick, its Brizee, I got here as soon as I could, baby, you got to wake up, I cant lose you, god I love you so much,
I need you, baby, I need you here, to hold me and keep me safe and warm, you are my life, without you, Im nothing, Brizee
said. Kevin stood at the doorway and heard everything. He knew he couldnt have her. She was Nicks girl. She belonged with
Nick. He knew he had to give up trying to get her. He turned and saw Kristin. She pulled him to an empty room and closed the
door and locked it.
I heard about what you have been doing, what were you thinking, going after Nicks wife, Kristin said.
I dont know, okay, I guess I wasnt thinking, you werent here, I was alone, I needed something, I developed feelings
for her, I wanted her, but I looked in and heard what she was saying to Nick, I know now that I cant have her, that I never
will, Kevin said. Kristin looked at him.
Is it because I wasnt here, that I wasnt on tour with you, Kristin said.
I guess so, Kevin said.
Kevin, Kristin said.
God, Kris, I want her so bad it hurts, Kevin said. Kristin came over to him and kissing him deeply.
Maybe I can help that, Kristin said. She pulled his shirt off and pulled him to the floor.
Brizee sat there looking at Nick. She kissed his hand. Jane
came in.
Brizee, you look pale, Jane said.
Im fine, Mom, just worried, Brizee said.
Brizee, go see a doctor right now, Jane said.
Im fine! Brizee said. She got up and collapsed. Kevin and Kristin came in.
What happened, Kristin said.
She was pale and she insisted she was fine and she got up and collapsed, Jane said. Kevin picked her up and left the
room and found a doctor and took her to an examination room.
Are you her husband? the doctor asked.
No, Im one of her husbands best friends, shes married to Nick Carter, Kevin said.
The Nick Carter who is in room 123, the doctor said.
Yes, Kevin said.
Get Aaron in here, Brizee said waking up.
Who is Aaron? the doctor asked.
Her brother-in-law, Kevin said. He got Aaron and Aaron came in and sat down.
Are you Aaron? the doctor asked.
Yes I am, Aaron said. He held Brizees hand.
Thanks for coming in, Airboy, you are the closest person to Nick, and hes unavailable to be in here with me, Brizee
said.
Hey, you are my sister-in-law, Nick would want me to be in here with you, Aaron said. The doctor ran some tests. He
left the room. Brizee stared out the window.
Hey, Briz, Nick wont die, he couldnt leave you, Aaron said.
I love him so much, Im scared, Brizee said. Aaron hugged her as she cried.
Shhh, Aaron said.
I cant lose him! Brizee cried. Brian came in. Brizee reached out for him. Brian held her in his arms.
Shh, Nick knows you love him, Brian said.
I love him so much! Brizee said crying.
We know you do, and he knows that too, he wont give up, he has too much to live for, Brian said. Jane came in crying.
Jane, Brizee said.
Hes gone, Jane said crying.
NO! Brizee cried. Brian took her in his arms and held her as she cried.
