The next day, the guys had rehearsals for the upcoming tour. Brian
wanted Brizee to come but she said she couldn't because of Nick and AJ. He hugged her and went to the studio. He saw Nick
and AJ on opposite sides of the room.
"Hey guys," Brian said.
"AJ ruined my life, Frick, he slept with Brizee, his friendship
with me is over," Nick said.
"Shouldn't you be saying that to Brian, too, I saw him and Brizee
last night," AJ said.
"What," Nick said.
"Yeah, him and Brizee in bed, making love, I came over to talk to
you, Brian, and I saw you two in bed," AJ said.
"So what, AJ, they are married, they are entitled to do what they
want, if they decided to make the marriage work again, then they did, stop trying to get me mad at everyone, okay!" Nick yelled.
"Whatever," AJ said. Nick pounced on AJ and started punching him.
Brian motioned Billy and Marcus. They came over and pulled Nick off of AJ.
"You asshole!" Nick yelled.
"I can't believe I ever thought of you as a brother, you are nothing
to me!" AJ yelled.
"Guys, stop it, we are a group, you two are bandmates," Brian said.
Kevin and Howie came in.
"What is going on here," Kevin said.
"He is nothing to me!" AJ said.
"Yeah, well, you are nothing to me!" Nick said.
"I quit, I'm done, find a new member for the group, I'm done," AJ
said. He walked out the door.
"What is going on," Kevin said.
"He's mad because of Brizee, they are fighting because of her, it's
a long story, Kevin," Brian said.
"Doesn't she know what she's doing to them," Kevin said.
"Brian and Brizee are still married, Kev, they are back together,"
Nick said.
"Brian, why," Kevin said.
"She's my wife, Kevin, and we talked about it, and decided to make
another go at it," Brian said.
"AJ told me they made love last night, he wanted me to hate Brian,
but I won't, I could never hate Brian, they are married, they can do what they want," Nick said.
"She is ruining the group, she made AJ quit!" Kevin said.
"He quit because of me," Nick said.
"No, because she can't decide who she wants to be with!" Kevin yelled.
He walked out the door. Brian and Nick looked at each other.
Kevin went to Brian's house and found Brizee sitting on the couch.
"I hope you are proud of yourself," Kevin said.
"What are you talking about," Brizee said.
"AJ and Nick got into it and AJ quit the group, I hope you are happy,"
Kevin said.
"I'm not, Kevin," Brizee said getting up. Kevin walked over to her
and stood in front of her.
"It's your fault that he quit, you couldn't decide who you wanted
more," Kevin said.
"I'm with Brian now and that's where I'm staying, if you don't like
it, too bad, it's Brian's decision, not yours," Brizee said.
"I can't believe you," Kevin said.
"It's not my fault that AJ quit, he knew nothing else was going
to happen," Brizee said.
"You shouldn't have slept with him," Kevin said.
"He shouldn't have seduced me, or even been with me!" Brizee said.
Kevin looked at her.
"Why was he with you," Kevin said.
"Because Nick went to California and didn't want me alone, so he
asked AJ to stay with me while he was gone, then the hurricane came," Brizee said.
"God," Kevin said.
"What happened between me and AJ was a mistake, and it cost me my
relationship with Nick, but I'm back with Brian now and nothing is going to change that," Brizee said. Kevin cupped her face
in his hands and kissed her hard. She struggled to get away but Kevin held her close to him tightly and he deepened the kiss.
She tried to push him away but he wouldn't let her go. The door opened and Brian came in with Nick behind him.
"What the hell is going on!" Brian yelled. Kevin pushed Brizee away
and looked at his cousin.
"She came onto me, she wouldn't let me go and she kissed me, I tried
to get away but she wouldn't let me," Kevin said.
"That is a lie, you are the one who kissed me and wouldn't let me
go, I struggled to get away but you wouldn't let me go, you are a liar!" Brizee said.
"She would say anything to get out of it," Kevin said. Brian looked
at Brizee.
"Get out of my life," Brian said to Brizee before walking out the
door. She looked at Kevin.
"Are you fucking happy now, you asshole, you got rid of me, when
I did nothing to you!" Brizee said. She punched him and went upstairs and started packing. She sat on the bed and cried softly.
"Brizee," Nick said.
"I suppose you hate me more than you did before," Brizee said crying.
She felt his arms around her waist.
"No, I know you are telling the truth, I saw how things were when
Brian and I walked in, I saw you trying to push him away, Brian believes anything Kevin says, always has, but I saw the truth,"
Nick said. Brizee started sobbing.
"Kevin thinks it's my fault that AJ quit the group, he wants me
gone, he got his wish, Brian doesn't want me in his life," Brizee said.
"Come live with me again," Nick said.
"I'm going back to Missouri, away from here, and everyone, all I
do is screw up people's lives, you guys should just be free of me," Brizee said.
"I want you with me, Brizee, I want to be with you, be with me again,
be happy, I can make you happy, and no one is going to tear us apart, not AJ, Brian, or Kevin, I won't let them," Nick said
pulling her closer. She looked at him.
"Are you sure," Brizee said. He kissed her deeply.
"I'm sure, I love you," Nick said.
"I love you, too, I never stopped loving you," Brizee said.
"Don't ever stop, I know I won't," Nick said. He helped her get
her stuff together and they carried it downstairs. Kevin stood there.
"You will never be rid of her, Kevin, she's coming with me, and no one is going
to tear me and her apart, definitely not you, you got her out of Brian's life, but you are never getting her out of mine,"
Nick said glaring at him. He went out and put her stuff in his car and she put some stuff in her car and they went to Nick's
house.
