Fate Will Gather Us Together Chapter Three By Sophie V. (wind_phoenix@hotmail.com)
Gene exited the bus, which lead him and the other to the hotel. Mark, Denis and Fred came too. He looked at the hotel, a bit amazing. It was hugged and looked expensive. 'We really sleep here?' he thought
"Come on, guys! Let's go! This luxury hotel are only waiting for us." said Denis, smiling, as he walked toward the hotel. 'A expensive hotel?' he thought as he followed the other.
Once inside, his mouth dropped open. It REALLY was a luxury hotel. There were some big stairs at the bottom two elevators at each side of it, a big reception office at his left and a big restaurant at his right. All was decorated in different shape of blue. Gene really loved blue. Then he heard someone laughing at his left. He turned to see Mark smiling.
"Come on, Gene, you never saw a hotel like this before?"
"Uh... yes." Said Gene, blushing a little "But only in magazines and on TV."
"You'll see it's cool! Even if we don't have THE luxury rooms..." he said. Then a man came and said:
"Welcome! I'm glad you're finally here." He said.
"Peter, one of the management." Whispered Fred to Gene who just nodded.
"I'll call your names and you'll take your keys. Each one of you share a room with someone at the fifth floor." Said Peter. He then took of his pocket a paper and started to call the names.
"I wondered who will be my roommate..." he whispered. A few minutes later, a lot of the dancers and Denis and Fred, who shared a room, were gone.
"Gene Wiser!" Peter called. Gene walked toward him as Peter held the key out to him. He was still looking at his paper.
"You share the room 512 with Mark Bettery." He said as he looked up. His eyes widened as he looked at Gene who took the key.
"Nick?!" he said, confused. Gene was silent and a bit embarrassed. Then Mark came behind him and put his hands on his shoulders.
"He isn't Nick, he just looked like him and sorry butwemustsleepweretired." He said quickly as he pushed Gene away, toward the elevators. Peter looked at them for a few seconds and then turned toward the other dancers and restarted to call the names.
"We're together, buddy." Said Mark as he and Gene entered in the elevator with their cases. Gene just smiled.
"Glad to." He said. At the fifth floor, they took their bags and went in front of their room. With their key, Gene and Mark entered and dropped their bags.
"Nice." Said Gene. The room wasn't big but wasn't small. There were a TV, a mini-fridge, a phone and a bathroom. "Just all we needed... you don't mind if I take the one near the window?"
"Of course, you can!" said Mark "Except if you're suicidal..."
Gene just laughed. "I like to be near the window and see what's happening outside..."
"Okay. You use the bathroom now or I go?" asked Mark.
"Go. I want to call my family." said Gene.
"Okay, kid." Said Mark with a childish voice as he walked in the bathroom with his toilet bag.
Gene smiled, took his bags and put them in front of his bed. He opened one of them and took a pair of white boxers and a white shirt. He put them on his bed, took his cell phone and dialed a number. A few seconds after, a male voice spoke up.
"Hello, this is Mike."
"Dad! It's me, Gene." Said Gene.
"Hey, son! How are you? How was your flight?"
"I'm great, so was the flight. I'm in the hotel, now. Everyone is very kind and I already have some new friends." He answered.
"Glad to hear that... We were a bit worried since you're far away..."
"Don't worry... everything is okay."
"Good... Did you already met the group?"
"Nope... only the band, the dancers and Fatima, the choreographer." Said Gene.
"Remember that Lisa want you to give her a BSB's autograph for her birthday." Said Mike, causing Gene to laugh.
"Don't worry, I didn't forget...How is she, anyway? And how is mom? And you?"
"We're all fine. Your mother and sister are out in the town." Said Mike.
"I already miss you all." Said Gene.
"We miss you too... But remember that you're coming with the group later, for the concert in Houston." Said Mike.
"I won't forget that." Said Gene "Well... I must go now. Tomorrow, we must rehearse at 9 AM."
"Okay... so good luck son! And remember that you must listen and obey to your superiors."
"Don't worry, I'll do." Said Gene "So, bye dad! Love you and mom and Lisa."
"We love you too, Gene." Said Mike as he and Gene hung up.
Gene lay on the bed and a few minutes later, Mark came out.
"It's all yours, Gene." He said as he walked near his cases and opened them. Gene got up and went in the bathroom with his boxers and shirt. About twenty minutes later, he came out to see Mark, also in his boxers and shirt, sitting on his bed watching the TV. He shook his head and switched it off.
"There's nothing." Said Mark. "I guess we should just sleep."
"Yeah... tomorrow, we must got up early." Said Gene as he slipped in his bed. Mark slipped in his bed too.
"'Night Gene." He said as he switched off the light.
"'Night Mark." Said Gene as he closed his eyes. A few minutes later, they were both asleep.
Nick opened his eyes to welcome another day. The sun slightly lighted the dark room. He got up and went to the bathroom. He quickly took a shower and went to his room to dress. He opened one of his bags and took a pair of white boxers, baggie blue jeans and a white tee shirt. He quickly dressed, then took his key and exited the room.
Five minutes later, he walked in the restaurant of the hotel and met his four bandmates.
"Last again, Nick." said Kevin "Sleep well?"
"Yes... Just..." he said as he sat.
"Just what, Frack?" asked Brian, sitting next to him.
"It's personal... I can't tell you..." said Nick as he got up to take food on the buffet.
"You're sure? You know we can help you..." said AJ.
"Yeah I know... but don't worry I'll tell you later..." Nick said as he walked away and started to take his food. All the way, the other were watching him, wondering what was going on with him.
"What happen to him? What can I do to fix it?" Brian thought, a worried look on his face.
At the other side of the restaurant...
"And that's how I end up naked at that club!" Said Mark as he ate one his pancake.
"Hey! That was hot!" said Gene, giggling.
"You know, Gene, he did more crazy stuff... better than that!" Said Denis.
"Really, what? How?" asked Gene, curious.
"To be continued... later." Said Mark in a dark voice. The other just laughed.
"So... Gene, are you ready to rehearse today?" asked Mark
"Yes... just a bit nervous..." said Gene with a small smile.
"You'll see, it won't be too hard. Don't forget that we're here!" said Fred, patting Gene's back.
"Yes, I know." said Gene as he started to drink his coffee.
"And after tomorrow... you'll see Nick!" said Mark. Just then Gene swallowed his coffee askew and started to cough.
"Oops... sorry man!" said Mark as he got up and patted Gene's back. Gene finally stopped coughing and took a big breath before expiring slowly.
"You're okay?" asked Denis.
"Yes... sorry. It's just that I'm a bit nervous... I mean, you said that I look like Nick... and there are many other people who said the same thing... even my little sister." Said Gene.
"Because it's true... I understand that you're nervous but don't worry, everything is gonna be fine." Said Fred.
"You think so?" said Gene.
"Yes... don't worry Gene." Said Mark.
Nick was sitting on his bed, watching TV. AJ and Howie were in town and Brian and Kevin were outside to finish Brian's affair. Nick sighed as he remembered how Brian was sad when he found that LeighAnn had betrayed him. He couldn't stop crying for a while. Nick had stayed with him all the while to help him. To have your best friend by your side helped you a lot and Brian knew that. He had finally realized that life continued and that he had to learn to love again... to love again...
"To love again... someone like..." whispered Nick before he shook his head. He turned off the TV and got up. He looked outside the window and sighed.
"So many people..." he said. He looked at his watch and then thought that the band must rehearse for a while, now.
"Why I don't see them?... I wondered if Mark had some other stories to relate..." he thought, a smile on his face. The BSB were always good friends with them. Sometime, they all went out together.
"Since I had the day off..." he said to himself as he took his key and left the room.
Later...
"Good work, Gene." Said Michael, one of the management, as the band finished one of the songs of the concert. "You're very talented."
"Thanks... I hoped that you'd be content..." said Gene
"We are." Said Michael "Just be sure to keep your hair dark... we don't want anybody to think that you're Nick."
"Yes, I know." nodded Gene.
"Good... maybe you and the other will have more time off... I didn't think that you'd be so talented."
"Beside I don't think you'd engaged him if he wasn't talented, huh?" said Mark with sarcasm causing the other to laugh.
"Yeah, yeah... So guys you can take a break, now. Fifteen minutes." Said Michael as he walked away.
Mark and the other left their instruments, walked near their chairs in front of the scene and sat.
"I'm glad there's a break... beside since you learn very quickly what you must play, we'll can have more time off." Said Denis as he put his arm around Gene.
"Yeah, maybe..." said Gene.
"Not maybe, SURE we'll have." Said Mark. "You know I'm glad that you're the new guitarist... you have so much talent then the other one and you're very kind... not like this jerk!" he said with a grimace, causing Gene to giggle.
"You didn't like him, did you?"
"No. He wasn't as talented as you are and he wasn't kind. We didn't like him. The guys from the group didn't accept him too." Said Mark
"You all get on well with the BSB, huh?" asked Gene.
"Yes, especially with Nick. He's very funny, you'll see. With Brian, it's really crazy." Said Fred.
"Brian? He's one of the group, isn't he?" he asked.
"Yeah. You'll see he's very kind, too." Said Denis as Gene nodded.
They talked for ten minutes when Denis saw somebody far off. He looked at him and finally recognized him.
"Hey! It's Nick!" he said.
"What?!" said Gene as he stood up. "But what is he doing here?"
"I guess he came to visit us. HEY NICK!!" called Mark.
Nick quickly came toward them and shook Denis, Fred and Mark's hands.
"How are you, guys?" he asked, smiling.
"Great! We already had done the busiest part. The new guitarist is the best! He learn so quickly." Said Denis.
"Really? Who is he?" asked Nick.
"Nick, this is Gene...." he said as he turned around... to see that Gene wasn't here.
"Hey! Where is he?" said Mark.
"I don't know... Perhaps he's in the dressing room or outside..." said Denis as he pointed an opened door beside the scene.
"Why did he leave before meeting me? " said Nick.
"Maybe he thought you were a monster..." said Mark with a grimace, causing Fred and Denis to laugh.
"Hey!" said Nick, smiling, as he playfully slapped him. "Well... I'm going to see where is he. I'll be back." He said as he walked toward the exit.
Outside...
"I hope he didn't see me..." said Gene as he sat near on a bench next to the building. He wasn't prepared to see Nick. It was too early. A few moments later, he heard someone calling him.
"Gene?"
He recognized his voice. Which mean...
"Nick...?" he whispered as he turned his head to his left. Nick was looking in another direction. He didn't see him.
"Maybe the next street..." he whispered as he started to go through the street without looking to his sides. Then, to his horror, Gene saw a car rushing toward him.
"OH MY GOD! WATCH OUT!" he screamed as he ran toward Nick.
Nick looked at his left and saw the car. His eyes widened in horror as the car rushed toward him. As he was about to be hit, he felt strong arms around him pulling him out off the street... A second later and it was too late for him. Nick clutched against Gene for a few seconds, still shocked by what happen. The car was now far away from them.
"Thanks a lot, buddy. You save..." he said as he looked up to see his savor.
"Me..." he whispered as he saw Gene's face. He quietly pulled away and stared in shock at Gene. He was exactly like him. The same face, the same weights... except the color of his hair, Gene was exactly like him. Gene stared too at Nick. It was the first time he really saw him. He was even more amazed to really see him. They were physically identical. Like twins.
"Eer... I...I'm... Gene, your new guitarist." He shyly said as he hesitantly left his hand toward Nick. Nick was silent. The man who stood in front of him had his voice too. He mentally shook himself, took Gene's hand and slowly shook it.
"Nick Carter..." he said slowly looking deeply inside Gene's eyes. Gene was staring back too. As they were lost into each other bright blue eyes, they both felt something burning in their hearth... but they didn't know what it was. They were quiet, their hands still hold.
Then the front door opened.
"Gene! We must go, now." Said Mark. He then saw Nick. "Hey! You finally saw each other."
Gene and Nick looked at him and nodded. Mark laughed a little as he saw the look on their faces. The same look of shock.
"I'm coming." Said Gene as he slowly released Nick's hand. Mark nodded and went inside. Gene turned toward Nick and said:
"I'll... see you later."
Nick just nodded as he watched Gene went inside the building. He stared at the door for a minute or so before he slowly made his way toward it.
"Gene..." he whispered as he entered in the building.
