Briz, are you sure you are okay, this is the first time you left the house since you came home, one girl said.

      I cant lay around all day and cry, my parents didnt want me to do that, Brizee said.

      Briz, what about the money you got from Jane, the other girl said. Nick tried to listen.

      I put it in the bank in my savings account, but I dont think a penny of it is going to be spent, Im thinking of donating it to Nicks charity, Brizee said.

      That is a good idea, after what happened, I wouldnt keep it, the first girl said.

      Yeah, I know, Britt, Brizee said.

      Theresa, theres a book I want to look at in the bookstore, Britt said.

      Okay, to the bookstore, Theresa said. They went to the bookstore. Nick followed.

      Briz, you know the guys are in town for the show tonight, Britt said.

      I know, but Im not going, Im sure Jane wouldnt want me near her son, and Im sure Nick believed everything she had to say and he probably hates me now and told the guys and they hate me, too, Brizee said.

      But we have three tickets and backstage passes, Theresa said. Brizee looked at her.

      Take someone else, I cant go, Brizee said.

      Briz, come on, you said you and Brian were best friends, Theresa said.

      Yeah, but Brian is also Nicks best friend, Brizee said.

      What about Kevin, Howie, and AJ, Britt said.

      Im sure they hate me, too, Brizee said.

      You dont know that, Theresa said.

      They are his brothers, Brizee said.

      And they have minds of their own, Britt said.

       Just find someone else to go, okay, Im not going, Im going to go home and lay down, Brizee said.

      No, Brizee, you are coming with us and you going backstage to see the guys, Theresa said.

      Fine, god, if it means so much to you, Brizee said.

      It does, you are our best friend and we know you dont hurt people, Theresa said.

      Yeah, we know you didnt have anything to do with the marriage, you were fine before the license showed up, Britt said.

      Yeah, I was normal, Brizee said.

That night, Nick and the guys were backstage. Nick saw Theresa and Britt come in.

      Hi, Nick said.

      Hi, Brian, Howie, AJ, and Kevin said.

      Hi, Im Theresa and this is Brittany, Theresa said.

      Hi, Brittany said.

      We know about Brizee, Theresa said.

      You know Brizee? Brian asked.

      Shes our best friend, and she wanted to give this to Nick, Theresa said handing Nick the check. Nick looked at it.

      Its for my charity, one million dollars, where did she get this money, Nick said.

      From your mother, Brizee said coming in.

      She said she gave you three million dollars, Nick said. Brizee handed him another check. It was his mothers check for the amount of one million dollars.

      She only gave me a million dollars, to leave you and never talk to you again, Brizee said.

      She paid you to leave? Brian asked.

      Yes, she said I had something to do with the marriage, that she has proof that I did, Brizee said.

      Guys, we know Brizee, she didnt have anything to do with the marriage, Theresa said.

      She is the most honest person we know, she would never lie about anything, Brittany said.

      I cant believe her! Nick said.

      She wants you out of his life, well, she has another thing coming, you in his life for good, Brian said.

      Yeah, I can tell her what to do with this money, Nick said.

      Does this mean Brizee is staying, Theresa said.

      How about you two, you can come with us, too, Nick said.

      Are you sure? Brittany asked.

      Yes, the guys said.

      Lets get our stuff, Theresa said. Brizee looked at Nick and he pulled her close.

      Dont leave me again, Nick said.

      Never, Brizee said. He kissed her tenderly. She left with her friends and they went to get their stuff. An hour later, they arrived back and went backstage and heard an argument. Brizee heard Janes voice and Nicks voice.

      How could you take her back! Jane yelled.

      She is my wife, Mother, and you paid her to leave me and never talk to me again, I will never forgive you, and here is your damn money, go find another son! Nick yelled.

      You dont mean that, Jane yelled.

      Im sick of you running my life, Mother, Im old enough to make my own choices, I dont need you anymore! Nick yelled.

      So you want me out of your life, fine, you stay away from me and your father, and your siblings, especially Aaron, as of now, you are no longer a part of the family, Jane said. She walked to the door and Brizee stood there with Theresa and Brittany.

      You bitch, you did this! Jane said lounging for Brizee. Theresa pushed her back.

      Dont you dare touch her, Theresa said.

      Who are you, Jane said.

      Im Theresa, Brizees best friend, and you mess with Brizee, you mess with me, you leave her alone, and how dare you, treat your son like hes nothing, if you let him live his life the way he wants, then you would still have him, I know you dont want him to get hurt but I can assure you that Brizee wont hurt him, she is the best person for him, he loves her and she loves him, your son is happy, do you want him to be happy, Theresa said.

      Yes, I do, Jane said.

      Then let him be happy, Brizee makes him happy and I know she will never hurt him, she never lies, and she is a good person once you get to know her, Theresa said.

      Me, Theresa, and Brizee have been friends ever since we were little, she has not once lied to us, and she would never do anything to get what she wants, she believes in fate and love, Brittany said.

      Fate brought her and Nick together, Theresa said.

      Oh Nick, can you forgive me for being overprotective? Jane asked.

      Mamma, you know I love you, Nick said hugging her. Jane turned and faced Brizee. Jane walked over to her and hugged her.

      Welcome to the family, Brizee, can you forgive me for being the bad mother-in-law, Jane said.

      Yeah, I understand why you did what you did, you love Nick and only wanted whats best for him, Brizee said.

      And he has the best, you, Jane said. Brizee smiled.

      You think so? Brizee asked.

      Yeah, I always have, I knew you were the one for my son, Brizee, I just let my motherly instincts take over, Jane said.

      A little too much, Brizee said. Jane hugged Brizee again.

      Im glad my son has you, he hasnt been this happy in a long time, Jane said.

      Im happy to have him, I went from a normal life to a life with a pop star, its overwhelming, Brizee said.

      Yeah, but you are with the man you love, Jane said.

      Yeah, I am, Brizee said gazing at Nick.

      You take good care of him, Brizee, Jane said.

      I will, dont worry, Brizee said. Jane smiled and went over to Nick and hugged him and left.
