From out of the Ashes
Chapter 7
A blinding light hit me in the eye and I raised my had to shield my eyes from it. But a hand stopped me. "Hold still Mr. Gibson, let us check you out first than you can sit up," said a strange voice. The light was removed and a pair of hands started probing the back of my head. I winced and moaned in pain when he touched the back of it. His hands came back bloody. "HMMM got a little drippy didn't we?" he asked. "OK, Jason go ahead and sit up," he said. Two pairs of hands help me sit up. I looked around and saw that I was laying on the floor of the house. There was blood on the floor. Kevin was right behind me helping support me. I looked up to see two uniformed cops and in between them was both JC and Brian in handcuffs.
"What happened?" I asked my memory still alittle foggy.
"We were hoping that you would be able to tell us that," stated the cop.
The longer I was awake the clearer things got. I remembered Brian hitting me and me falling. I looked at him and he just glared at me. I shook my head and looked at the cop. "Take the cuffs off officer, I'm not pressing charges," I said. Kevin swore and left the foyer. The cop unlocked the cuffs.
"You can rot in jail JC because I am pressing charges," Brian yelled.
"No you're not Brian, because if you do I will press charges against you," I said climbing to my feet. Brian just stood there staring at his feet not saying anything. "Well Brian what is it going to be. You pressing charges or not?" I asked.
"You can take the cuffs of him too, I'm not pressing charges either," mumbled Brian walking away.
"Don't go to far because we are going to have a talk!" I shouted after him. He flipped me off and kept on walking. I was hurt and angry at the same time. It was like Brian had reverted to what he was when we first met. Nick leaned down and said.
"You know you guys could have been a little descrete about it. Don't worry I am sure it will work out. I'll go talk to him," he said sarcastically.
I looked up at A.J. and he looked away from me. I got up and walked into the living room and sat down beside Kevin. I saw that his shoulder were shaking. I reached out and touched him. He looked up at me and took my hand and leaned his cheek on it. "Why can't we ever be happy?" he sobbed. I wrapped my arms around him laid my had on his shoulder.
"You know he's right?" I asked. He looked at me in surprise.
"How the hell can you say that?" he asked angry.
"We really should have used more sense that night," I answered calmly.
"Well he shouldn't have hit you like that!" he argued.
"Yes, yes you're right he needs to control his temper. But you understand that we did jeopordise all of their careers that night with that stupid stunt," I admitted ashamed.
"Yea you're right Babe. We were a little crazy that night," he admitted smirking.
"To busy trying to make those southern gals blush," I said laughing. Soon we were laughing our heads off. The door opened and in walked Brian Nick and A.J. Brian was still pissed and his right eye was swollen and black from where J.C. had hit him.
"I think we need to talk," I started.
"Yea I think we all said and did some things that hurt eachother real bad," Brian spoke up.
"Kevin and I would like to apologize for our actions that night. Nick you were right, we should have used better judgement. You all have our promise that it will never happen again," I said. Kevin nodded his head in agreement. There was a silence in the room as the rest of the gang thought about what I said.
"Oh crap, I can't stay mad at you guys forever!" blurted out Nick coming over and giving us a hug.
"Group hug!" yelled A.J. and he and Brian came running over to join the hug.
We finally broke apart and went to start preparing the rest of the meal. Kevin insisted that I lie down until dinner when I refused he picked me up and carried me up to our room. He plopped me down on the bed and I got up and tried to grab him. He laughed and laid down with me. I started to kiss him and grind my crotch against his. He groaned in frustration. And got up. I lay pouting and he looked down and started laughing. "Are you always this horny?" he asked.
"Only with you around," I replied grinning wickedly. He just rolled his eyes and gave me a pec on the nose.
"Sleep!" he ordered as he walked out of the room. Three hours later I heard a very poor imitation of a turkey outside my door. I climbed out of bed and went to the door and opened it found Brian with this goofy grin on his face.
"He He HE uhh Kevin sent me up to get you. Dinner is ready and your family is here," he laughed. I followed him down stairs and into the dinning room the guys had done a real nice job with the table. The food was great and my family was there to. I sat down at the head of the table with my Kevin on my right and my sister on my left. I grabbed Kevin's and Carole's hand and looked around.
"Can we all join hands for grace?" I asked. Every one joined hands and bowed their heads. "Lord we come together as one Family to give thanks to you oh Heavenly Father for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us. We thank you for our health and for friends. We thank you for our loves and we ask you to lay your hand of forgiveness on our enemies. Care for those who are with out tonight. Bless us o Lord for these thy which we are about to receive from they bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen," I prayed with my eyes closed. I felt Carole pick my left hand and she looked at the ring.
"So when were you planning on telling us?" she whispered to me.
"After dinner," I whispered back sliding my hand under the table. Kevin squeezed my other hand and I smiled back at him.
When it was all said and done the thanksgiving meal went of with out a hitch. Everyone got plenty to eat and after dinner Kevin and Brian ushered every one outside. I looked at him confused and he just smiled and said, "you are going to have to wait just like everyone else." I stuck out my bottom lip in a pout which he caught with his teeth. The love bite turned into a kiss. He slid his tongue into my mouth. "MMMM pumpkin pie," he smiled.
"EWWW gross, you guys go get yourself a room," laughed Nick making gagging noices.
"AWWW I think they are cute," said Carole sticking up for Kevin and me. I stuck my tongue out at him and he flipped me off.
"Only in your dreams Blondie," I retorted. He just laughed and shook his head.
"Alright A.J. hit it!" yelled Kevin. A huge bright light lit up the sky as A.J. hit the switch. Kevin looked at me and smiled for my approval. I took a couple of steps back and felt a pain in my chest and the light got brighter drowning out everyone else. I closed my eyes shut but it only got brighter. Finally it exploded into a million colors and blissful darkness fell over me.
Chapter 8 Awaken!!
"Jason, Jason, Come on man wake up!" a voice urged. "Hey Cuz I think he is coming around," said the voice again. 'I know that voice,' I thought to myself. I forced my eyes opened and couldn't make out the face. After closing them a couple of times my vision cleared.
"Move aside Brian," an older voice said gently pushing him aside. Another face came into view. By this time things were starting to comeback. I was staring into the eyes of my lover Kevin. I tried to sit up but he held me down. "Whoa there Lover, you've been out of it for almost three weeks, take it slow," he advised.
"What happened?" I croaked out.
"Well after Sam shot you at South Fork you fell and hit your head on the pavement. You've been in a coma ever since," explained Kevin.
"The fire--" I started.
"What fire Babe?" asked Kevin looking concerned.
"The fire at South Fork," I insisted.
"Honey there wasn't a fire at your house. South Fork is still standing safe and sound," he tried to assure me. I struggled to sit up and he helped me. I looked out the window of the hospital room and was shocked to see leaves on the trees.
"What month is it?" I asked.
"It's the second week of November," stated Kevin. I shook my head in disbelief.
"What's wrong Jason?" asked Brian.
"You said I've been in a coma for three weeks?" I asked. He nodded. "Sam shot me?" I asked again. Again he nodded. "And there was no fire?" I asked. He nodded. I fell back onto the pillow breaking out in a cold sweat as the realization hit me.
"Ok Jason, you're starting to scare me," said Kevin with tears in his eyes.
"It was a dream," I said over and over again. "It was all just a dream." The one thing that stood out for me was that I didn't have cancer and I was going to live. I smiled and started laughing hystericaly. "I'm going to live!" I shouted laughing and crying at the same time. "Oh God, I'm going to live!" I shouted again. My laughter turned into sobs of joy and relief. Falling into Kevin's arms, "it's over, it's finally over," I sobbed. Kevin stroked the back of my head.
"It's alright Babe," he soothed. Finally I calmed down and looked into Kevin's eyes and saw nothing but love and support in them. "You need to rest," he said. I shook my head no. I could see that he was ready to argue.
"No Kevin, sleep is the last thing I want. I've been sleeping for the last three weeks and had the strangest dream through it all. So no I don't want to sleep." Turning to Brian, "Brian can you find me my doctor?"
"Yea, sure, I'll be right back," he said rushing out the door.
I reached up and grabbed Kevin and pulled him into a tight hug. "I love you, and I've missed you something terrible," I whispered into his hear. He giggled and kissed my neck. "Can you find me some tooth paste and a tooth brush?" I asked. He looked confused. "If I don't kiss you I am going to go nuts," I urged him. He grinned and took off looking for a tooth brush and some tooth paste. He returned with the items and I immediatley busied myself getting cleaned up. When I was ready I reached up and grabbed him. He smiled and gently brushed his lips against mine. I allowed his tongue in and let him explore all he wanted. I slid my tongue in and did some exploring of my own.
"Ahem," coughed Brian. We reluctantly broke apart blushing. "You certainly didn't waste any time did you?" he asked laughing. "The Doctor will be in, in a moment. I scooted over and patted the bed beside me and Kevin hopped in beside me. I snuggled up to him. Soon I found my eyelids getting heavy. I tried to stay awake but failed. I laid my head on Kevin's shoulder and drifted off to sleep. Kevin carefully untangled himself from me.
"Come on, let's step outside and let him sleep for a while," Kevin stated. And the two cousins stepped outside.
"What was that all about in there?" Brian asked.
"I think he had some kind of weird dream while he was out. I am sure glad he is awake and alright now," replied Kevin.
"Are you really glad he is awake now?" asked Brian.
"Yes I am Brian and don't fucking start!" shouted Kevin. His shouting woke me up. I laid there listening to the two cousins argue. The next words out of Brian's mouth shattered my heart into a million pieces.
"You're not being fair to him Kevin!" He shouted back. "All the while he was laying in a coma you were fucking J.C.! And you had better tell him the truth or I will!" He shouted pushing Kevin against the wall and storming off.
"Fuck off Brian. Who needs you?" shouted Kevin storming into my room. I was sitting up looking at him with anger and hurt in my eyes. He took one look at me and started crying. "I'm so sorry Jason, I didn't mean it," he pleaded with me.
"Why did you do it Kevin?" I asked sobbing. He came to me and tried to hug me and I pushed him away. "Don't touch me! Don't fucking touch me!" I screamed at him. He backed away from me and ran from the room. I buried my head in my pillow sobbing. I didn't hear the door open. Brian stepped in and walked to my bed and sat down and started rubbing my shoulder. I turned over and looked at him. "I never want to see him again," I stated. He just nodded.
"He does love you, you know," he replied.
"Well he has a real funny way of showing it? Doesn't he?" I retorted sarcastically.
"Listen, I don't blame you for being angry at him. In your shoes I would be just as angry. But while you were in the coma he never left your side," he insisted. I looked up at him like he was nuts.
"Don't lie to me Brian. I know he left my side to do his thing with J.C.," I retorted.
"Ok so he is not perfect. Nobody is. Let me ask you one question. Do you love Kevin?" he asked looking me in the eye. I looked away. He took me by the chin and forced me to look at him. I turned my eyes away from his gaze. "Look at me mister!" he yelled at me. I looked at him anger burning in my eyes. "Now answer the question. Do you love Kevin?" I thought about the question and realized the answer was yes. I loved him more than anything in the world. Tears came to my eyes and I nodded yes.
"Yes dammit, yes I love him!" I yelled back. "Is that what you wanted to hear me say?" He nodded his head and hugged me. "Why did he do it Brian? Doesn't he love me anymore?" Brian opened his mouth to answer but we heard the door opened. We both looked at the door and saw Kevin standing there looking down at his feet. His eyes were red from crying. Brian got up and walked to the door.
"I think you guys need some time alone. I'll be outside if you need me," he said aloud . He than leaned in and whispered into Kevin's ear. "He still loves you, you Jack ass so don't fuck it up!" Kevin nodded and walked in and sat down beside me on the bed. I looked away from him.
"I have hurt you so bad," he whimpered. I was silent just listening to him. "I know that I don't have the right to ask you this. But do you think you can forgive me."
"How many times did you do it?" I asked. He bowed his head in shame.
"That's not important--," he started.
"It's fucking important to me Kevin!" I shouted at him. He cringed at my harsh words. "Don't lie to me, how many times did you do it?"
"Only once," he sobbed.
"Do you love him?" I asked. He looked up at me in anger.
"What the hell kind of question is that?" he shouted at me.
"A very valid question considering the circumstances Kevin!" I shouted back. "Now answer the fucking question!"
"No I don't love him!" he shouted back walking to the window.
"I love you, you know that?" I asked. He nodded. "Do you love me?" I asked
"Of course I love you. That will never change," he said
"Than why Kevin? Why did you fuck J.C.?" I asked.
"It's a long story," he said back.
"I'm willing to listen if you want to tell me," I said not pushing. He nodded. I climbed out of bed and hobbled over to him and pulled him in a hug and he broke down sobbing. I just held him and let him cry and get it all out of his system. I took is chin in my hand and made him look at me. He looked so vulnerable like that. I bent forward and kissed his tears away. "I could never stay angry at you forever," I giggled. "I forgive you Kevin. It will take a while to get things back to normal but I forgive you." He nodded and we walked back to bed together. I climbed in first and he climbed in next. He laid his head on my shoulder and fell asleep. The door opened and Brian stepped in. He looked at us and smiled.
"So things are back to normal?" he asked. I nodded untangling myself from him and climbing out of bed. I walked over to the window and looked out and saw that the sun was setting. I thought about my new lease on life but than thought about what Kevin did to me. I thought about the life I had left behind in my dream.
"I want to go home," I said.
"I'm sure that the Doctor will release you soon," he assured me. I shook my head no.
"No Brian I want to go home now!" I said loudly. He came up behind me put his hand on my shoulder. "I've dreamed a lifetime of memories these last three weeks. In that three weeks I watched my home burn to the ground and shot again. Almost lost Kevin when he fell over a cliff. Found out I had cancer and only had three to six months to live. So as you can tell I'm still not sure what is real and what isn't. So I want to go home!" I sobbed. The door opened and in walked J.C. of Nsync. I climbed back into bed and woke Kevin. He took one look at J.C. and frooze.
"What can I do for you J.C.?" I asked meanly.
"So you are awake. You had us real worried there," he said smiling walking up to me and trying to hug me. I pushed him away.
"Don't touch me J.C. Don't ever touch me again," I said. (the rape was true it happened before I met Kevin.) He looked at me shocked. "Don't play innocent with me. I know all about you!" I shouted at him. His expression changed from one of hurt to one of anger. He looked at Kevin who was staring at the floor.
"Did you tell him?" he asked.
"Tell me what J.C.?" I asked
"He loves me not you. He told me while he was sucking me off," J.C. said smirking. I knew he was just trying to make me mad. I looked at Kevin who was crying now.
"I know all about you and Kevin. And no he doesn't love you J.C. He loves me," I said. J.C. got really angry and tried to reach me. But Kevin jumped up and grabbed him slammed him up against the wall. J.C. took a swing Kevin hitting him in the jaw. Brian jumped in between the two of them and pushed them apart.
"Don't ever touch him again!" shouted Kevin trying to get at him but Brian held him away from J.C. "I love him and always will!" he shouted at J.C. J.C. just stood there and glared at him and than turned on me.
"This isn't over! Not by a long shot you piece of trash!" he shouted at me storming out of the room. Kevin came over to me and hugged.
"Are you alright?" he asked worried. I nodded and looked at his jaw. I could see that there was going to be some swelling I reached up and kissed it. He grinned and kissed me back. Brian rolled his eyes and sat down.
"I thought I was rid of that ass hole," I said. Kevin looked at me funny. "J.C. and I have a history together. I don't like to talk about it," I said looking away from Kevin. He sat down beside me and wrapped his arms around me.
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want too," he soothed me. My door flew opened and Justin popped his head in.
"Hey you guys seen J.C.?" he asked looking around. He caught sight of me sitting up in bed and his face lit up with his killer smile. He ran in and grabbed me in a hug. "Jason you're awake. Man you had us all worried!" he said.
"Yea rumors of my twenty year long nap are just not true," I joked at him. He ruffled my hair and I swatted his hand away. "And to answer your question, yes we just threw J.C. out of here," I said. Justin immediately got a worried expression on his face and looked at Kevin and saw his bruised jaw.
"What happened?" he asked excited. "Did he touch you?" he asked looking me over. I shrugged him off and shot him a warning look and nodded towards Kevin and Brian. He nodded getting the message. "So when are you going to get out of this place?" he asked. Unfortunatley Kevin caught it and glared at me.
"Hopefully tomorrow," I said smiling.
"Well I've got go find the ass hole. You all take care now," he smiled and headed out of the room. Before I could stop him Kevin followed him out.
"Please, Justin don't tell him," I pleaded wispered to myself. Brian over heard it.
"Don't Kevin what?" he demanded.
"Nothing," I replied hoping that he would let the matter drop. But I was wrong.
"Nothing my ass, now something is going on with J. C. and you, now tell me!" he yelled at me. I glared at him not saying anything. He heaved a huge sigh and sat down beside me. "We are your friends, Jason. If we weren't we wouldn't be here right now. Come on, you can tell us anything," he pleaded.
"It hurts to much to talk about it," I sobbed. "God, I hate him so much!"
"Did you love him at one time?" he asked rubbing my shoulder. I looked up at him like he had sprouted a third head or something. I shook my head laughing bitterly.
"Hell no I didn't love him. What we shared together had nothing to with love," I told Brian looking out the window.
"What happened than?" he asked again. I looked at him and than at the floor in shame. It was all coming back to me. The humiliation the shame and dirty feeling I had for months after. I heard a quiet sob and looked up in time to see tears streaming down Brian's face. "It was rape wasn't it?" he asked. I let the emotions over take me and I laid down burrying my face in my pillow letting the sobs rack my body. I don't know how long I lie there crying into my pillow. At some point I fell asleep.
(From Kevin's point of view.)
I chased Justin down the hallway. "Justin wait up!" I shouted after him. "I want to talk to you." Justin stopped and turned around.
"Yea what do you want?" he asked pissed.
"What happened between J.C. and Jason?" I asked.
"That's not in my place to tell. That is Jason's place to tell," Justin said.
"Were they lovers?" I asked worried of the answer. Justin got this disgusted look on his face.
"Hell no they weren't lovers. What J.C. did to him had nothing to do with love!" he shouted in anger. I looked at him puzzled and than it dawned on me what happened. My eyes started to fill with tears.
"No, No, please tell me that he didn't do what I think he did," I sobbed out. Justin just hung his head and nodded his head. I leaned up against the wall and slid down burying my head in my hands. "My baby, My poor baby," I sobbed over and over again. Little did we know that J.C. was headed our way. He came around the corner and yelled out at Justing.
"Hey Justin, you ready to blow this hell whole," he laughed. I stood up and ran towards J.C. blinded by rage. I barely was aware that Justin was trying in vain to hold me back. I reached him and punched him in the face as hard as I could. J.C.'s jaw snapped and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. He fell to the floor hitting his head on the hard tile. He just laid there out cold. Justin shoved me out of the way. I just stared at him for a while and turned and walked away and headed back to Jason's room. Once inside I found him asleep and it looked like he had been crying. I looked at Brian and motioned him outside.
"I found out from Justin what J.C. did to Jason," I told him.
"Yea and I figured it out too," Brian said. "Poor guy, he's been through hell these last few months,"
"Well I swear to you Brian. If it is the last thing I do I will make Jason happy," I swore to him. We headed back into the room Jason was just waking up. I walked to him and gathered him into a hug. We heard the door open and we turned around.
"Kevin Richardson?" asked a Cop.
"Yes that's me, Can I help you Officer?" I asked.
"Kevin Richardson, You are under arrest----"
NOW BEGINS CHAPTER 9 (From Jason's point of view)
Three days later I was released from the hospital. The first place I went was the Jail. Kevin had been arrested for the assault of J.C. and I hadn't seen him since. I tried to talk to J.C. but he had refused to let me visit him. Justin was real nice about it but he couldn't do anything either. Poor guy was stuck in the middle trying to save two friendships. He did agree to go with Brian an me to the jail to pick up Kevin, he was being released on bond. The car pulls up to the Front Royal Jail house and we get out and headed inside.
Once in side we spotted Kevin looking tired and angry. I went up to him and wanted to touch him so bad but we were in public and I knew I couldn't. After we got the paper work done we headed outside and into the car. I told the driver to head to South Fork. I was nervous because in my three week dream South Fork had burned to the ground in a muderous rage from my demented Cousin. By the way Sam Gibson was shot and killed by a cop while trying to escape. The Car pulled into the property and up the drive that led to the mansion. Once inside we were greeted by Niles and Boomer. I was relieved to see them too. Although I knew it was a dream and realised that they had not died it was still good to see them alive and well. I think Niles was more shook up than I was when I gave him a tearful greeting. Boomer on the otherhand went right to Brian and demanded to be rubbed behind the ears. (Oh well I had warned Brian about doing that.) Justin and Brian went into the living room and I motioned Kevin to follow me into my study. I opened the door and look at my wife's painting and smiled.
"So, Kevin you want to talk about it?" I asked.
"Talk about what?" he said trying to avoid the question. I gave him a scolding look and he broke down in tears collaspsing to the leather sofa. I went to him at once and gathered him up in a hug. "He raped you, he raped you, that fucking bastard raped you," he sobbed out. "I'm sorry I hit him and got arrested and made you upset and worried. It's just that the thought of the pig touching you that way made me crazy. I wanted to kill him. I probably would have if Justin hadn't have been there." I just sat there holding him. I was angry at Justin for telling Kevin.
"Damm Justin for telling you. He promiced me he wouldn't tell anyone," I said angry and getting up to find Justin. Kevin grabbed my shoulder to stop me. I shrugged him off and headed out of the study. Kevin came runing after me.
"Wait Jason, Justin didn't tell me. I figured it out on my own. All Justin did was confirm what I thought. Please don't be angy at him," he pleaded. I turned and headed back into the study.
"Now Kevin, how are we going to get you out of this mess?" I asked. "If this gets out it could do some serious dammage to your career," He just shook his head not knowing what to do. I got up and went to the door and opened and yelled. "Justin! Brian can you guys come in here for a moment?" They came running in.
"Yea What do you need?" asked Brian sitting down beside Kevin. Jusin went and sat behind my desk and put his feet on my desk. I scowled at him and he quickly removed them.
"We need to discuss what to do about Kevin and J.C." I said. "I need to talk to him to get him to drop the charges against Kevin." Kevin got mad at once and stood up and walked over to me.
"I don't want you anywhere near that rapist!" he shouted. I shook my head stubbornly.
"I have to talk to him. What I have to say to him has to come from me," I explained. Kevin sat back down though he was still angry. "Now Justin call him up now and tell him to expect me. And tell him I'm not taking no for an answer." I went into the other room to make a few more calls. In five minutes I was headed back to the hospital with Justin and Brian.
"What are you going to say to him?" asked Justin worried.
"I'm just going to remind him how important his career is to him," I answered. Justin looked at me with wide eyes. "Don't worry Justin, I would never dream of destroying the group. But I do need to put on a good show. so go along with what I say." Justin nodded yes although his expresion didn't totaly convince me.
Twenty minutes later J.C. hears Justin yelling out in the hall. "Man you are a fucking bastard Jason. If you think I'm going to let you destroy Nsync you're out of your fucking mind!"
"I'm just doing what I have to Justin. I don't give a rat's ass about your precious boy band. All I care about is getting Kevin off the hook. So your friend J.C. had better agree with what I have to propose or it's good bye Nsync!" I shouted swinging open J.C. door. We found him sitting up in bed with a scared look on his face. "Hey asshole! you ready to talk?" I asked.
"I don't have any thing to say to you trash boy!" he shouted at me. I just grinned at him like I was on top of the world. In a way I was because I knew I had all of the Cards. I stepped aside to let the hospital orderly wheel in a tv and vcr.
"Oh, I think you will change your mind when you see this. Justin and Brian do you mind stepping outside for a moment?" I asked. Brian didn't want to but Justin pulled him out. I walked over to the vcr and pushed the play button. As the tape started playing I looked away. "If you will pay attention to the writing on the bottom of the screen you will see that this is a security tape at the Nisson Center in Manassas VA and that is you doing your nasty deed to me. Now here is the deal. You will drop the charges against Kevin or in one hour every news hound will have this tape," I informed him.
"You wouldn't dare. You would be ruined too," he stuttered.
"J.C. I have enough money in the bank and in investments that I wouldn't have to write another screen play ever. So no I am not interested in saving my career. I would just drop into quiet retirement. Now you on the other hand with all of your assets frozen due to your upcomming battle over your former manager and lable, well you could see how it could ruin you in about four months." I could see that he was thinking it over. "Your choice J.C. I could care less about what happens to Nsync."
"Alright, I'll drop the charges against Kevin," he relented. I made him call the police right than and there to make sure he did it. When it was done I pulled the disgusting tape from the vcr and destroyed it and left. I found Justin sitting in the waiting room Brian was no where to be seen.
"It's all taken care of Justin. Hey have you seen Brian?" I asked looking around for him.
"UHH no I haven't seen him since we got here. He said something about needing something to drink," said Justin.
"Well we'll wait for a few moments and than we'll head back home," I said wondering where Brian was.
(From Brian's point of view)
I walked out of the hospital to go across the street to the local McDonalds to get some coffee. Once inside I realised that I had to go to the bathroom so I headed into the restroom. I walk into the stall and do my business. The stall door opens. "Hey man, I'll be out in a sec," I said.
"Yea that's right you'll be out alright," said a voice. Than I felt the blow and than darkness.
(From Jason's point of view.)
"Come on Justin, let's go we can't wait any longer, I'll call Kevin and see if Brian came back home," I said dialing the house. After two rings Niles voice picked up. "Hey Niles, have you seen Brian?" I asked.
"Yes sir, Brian's cab just pulled up a couple of seconds ago. Do you want me to get him for you?" asked Niles.
"No Niles, that wont be nessecary. We'll be home in a little while," I said alittle aggravated. "Hmm that's not like Brian," I commented.
"What happened?" asked Justin.
"Brian took a cab home. Didn't say a word to us. Guess I'll have to scold him for that. Come on let's get home," I said heading out the door.
(From Brian's Point of View)
It was dark and peaceful. I didn't want to wake up. I must be standing in the rain because I'm getting wet. Than it hit me full force. A bucket of ice cold water hits me in the face. Strangley I hear my voice talking to me.
"Wake up Brian, it's time meet yourself!" said the voice. I opened my eyes and there standing in front of me grinning at me was me.
"What the Fuck?" I yelped. My copie drew back his fist and smashed it in my face. I tasted blood.
"Come come Brian, a nice southern babtist like you shouldn't be using language like that," said my copie grabbing me by the hair and jerking my head my forward so that I was staring him in the eye. "A little confused are we?" he asked laughing. "Well let me clear things up for you. I've been hired to play you. My job is to destroy the Backstreet Boys from within. You see I'm perfect for the job. I look just like you even to the little scar from you surgery. I talk like you, I sing like you. Hell let's face it Brian I am you," he laughed at me.
"Your not going to get away with this. The others will know," I shouted at him. His fist hit me again. I spit out a tooth. "Why are you doing this? I mean what did we ever do to you?" I sobbed glaring at him struggling to stand . I found that I was bound to a chair. The ropes were tight enough to hold me without cutting off circulation.
"The others will know! Ha that's a laugh. Kevin is so busy fucking Jason, Nick is so hung up on himself that he barely even thinks of anyone else except himself. A.J. is still going through his identity crisis. And Howie well Howie is Howie living in his own little I'm so fucking cute world that trust me he wont notice. Let's face it pretty boy no one will notice," he laughed at me.
So what was I to do? I panicked. "HEELP HEELP!" I screamed. He just laughed at me. I tried to kick him but he hooked his foot around the leg of the chair and flipped it over I came crashing to the floor. My ribs hurt and I thought I felt one crack.
"That wont do you any good. You see this room is completely soundproof," he laughed. I could see head lights on the wall. "Oh Oh time to go play you," he gloated grabbing the chair and wrenching it upright. "Oh don't worry pretty boy, I'll make sure that he feeds you," he said laughing as he slammed the door. I tried to walk the chair over to the barred window. After about five minuts of scooting the chair over I finally got close enough to look out the window. I was at South Fork. He had stuck me in the attic."Now to get these ropes loose," I said to myself. I began to look around to find something to use to get the ropes loose. I found a pair of sicssors on a desk. "Now to get myself over to the desk," I said aloud.
(From Jason's point of view)
The car stops infront of the house and we climbed out. Kevin is waiting at the front porch. He gets up and hugs and kisses me. "Well how did every thing work?" he asked.
"He dropped the charges. He had no choice," I said. "Where is Brian ?"I asked looking around.
"Wasn't he with you?" Kevin asked.
"Niles said he took a cab home a little while ago," I replied.
"Is some one looking for me?" asked BBrian stepping out of the front door.
"Yea, we were, next time let us know what your plans are so were not stuck waiting on you," scolded Justin. Than BBrian did something that scared the hell out of me. He ran up to Justin and slammed him up against the wall hard knocking the wind out of him.
"Hey ass whole I don't answer to you!" yelled BBrian. Justin just laid there trying to get his breath back. BBrian backed up looking scard. "Ohh man I am so sorry, I'm just tired is all. Long day and all," excused himself running into the house. We just stood there in shock.
"I'll go after him and see what is bothering him," said Kevin walking into the house. I went to Justin and helped him up in a rocker.
"Man what has gotten into Brian?" he asked shaking his head trying clear it.
"I don't know Justin," I said staring at him. 'God he was cute,' I thought to myself. His bleached blonde hair his tight muscular body that innocent cute boy look he had. He caught me staring at me and stared back. I don't know who moved first but before I realized it our lips had touched. It was a soft and gentle kiss. He closed his eyes and moaned softly sliding his tongue in. My tongue welcomed his and dueled with it. Suddenly my eyes went wide and I jerked apart. "Oh my God what are we doing !" I cried out.
"Oh man I am so sorry, I shouldn't have done that to you," Justin sobbed getting up and running off the porch.
"Justin wait!" I yelled after him. But he was gone. I sat back down in the chair. 'Man what the hell am I doing?" I thought to myself. Why did I kiss Justin? Or why did he kiss me?' I asked myself. 'I love Kevin and only Kevin dammit,' I swore to myself. 'Or do I?'
Chapter 10
Kevin stormed into the house shouting for Brian. He found him in the living room downing a huge glass of whiskey. He ran up to him and grabbed the glass out of his hand. "What the fuck are you doing Brian?" he shouted at him. "You know what the Doctor said about drinking. You can't do it," he scolded pouring the drink in the wastebasket.
"Go back to fucking Jason Kevin and leave me the fuck alone!" slurred BBrian reaching for the bottle. Kevin grabbed it walked out of the room. "If your not going to let me drink than I'll find another bottle," he slurred.
I walk back into the house to see Kevin storming out of the living room holding a bottle of wiskey. "Hey what's going on?" I asked concerned.
"You tell me! It's like he lost his mind or something. I found him in the living room drinking this like it was water!" said Kevin pointing at the almost empty bottle.
"He can't do that," I said. "What about his heart?" I asked growing concerned. "I'll tell you what Kevin. I'll have all the liquir removed from the house," I offered. He shook his head no.
"No No don't do that," he said hanging his head tears streaming down his face. My heart went out to him and I gathered him in a hug. "I just don't understand him. One moment he is normal and the other moment he is acting all nuts," he sobbed into my shoulder. I heard Niles call for dinner so I guided Kevin into the dinning room. Justin was already there and so we all sat down and ate.
(From BBrian's point of view)
"God how can Brian stand him?" I thought allowed. "I mean what a fucking worry wart." I walked over to the phone and picked it up and dialed the number. It rang only once and it was answered. "Hey J.C. I don't think I can do this," I said into the phone.
"Are you out of your fucking mind?" he screamed. "I told you never to call me from the house. What if you are caught?"
"Fuck off J.C. nobody is going to catch me. I was almost caught today," I shouted back at him. "When the hell were you going to tell me that Brian baby can't fucking drink? Kevin caught me downing half the fucking bottle. Got all over my ass!"
"You were drinking?"he asked shouting. "Are you nuts or something? Listen here you second rate actor. I'm not paying you 3 million dollars to fuck this up. Remember if the Backstreet Boys don't go down in six months your mother wont get her surgery," J.C. threatend. I calmed down right away. I needed the money.
"What do you want me do with Brian?" I asked worried about the answer.
"Keep him alive for alittle while longer. He can help with details and such. Did you get the goods on Niles?" asked J.C.
"Yea I got the goods on him and he is on our side," I assured him.
"Good, now start wearing them down. You can start with your cousin and his lover. Break them up," laughed J.C. hanging up.
I hung up the phone and headed out of the living room and walked into the dinning room and joined them at the table.
"Everything alright?" Jason asked me his voice full of concern.
"Yea every thing is fine. UHH guys, I would like to apologies for my actions today. That was totaly uncalled for. I don't know what came over me. It wont happen again," said BBrian sincerly. Every one one nodded their acceptance and went back to eating. 'This was going to be easier than I thought,' I smiled to myself.
(From Jason's point of view.)
After dinner Kevin went to bed early because he was tired. I wanted to go with him but Justin wanted to talk to me. I knew what it was about and I wasn't looking forward to it. After tuckin Kevin in bed and kissing him goodnight I met Justin in the study. He was nervous as hell and he was pacing. I sat down on the leather couch holding a snifter of brandy in my right hand and a cigar in my left. "Alright Justin, I'm here what did you want to talk about?" I asked taking a drag off of my cigar. He frowned at me and I glared at him blowing the smoke out.
"I wanted to talk about what happened tonight outside," he mumbled looking at his feet.
"Well why don't you tell me how you feel about it," I sudgested. He resumed his pacing going much faster now. I looked at him closely and was suprised to see that he was actualy working up a sweat over it.
"I don't know, I mean I liked it. I liked it alot. I mean I was attracted to you the moment I saw you at the Nissan Center. I'm not sorry I kissed you," he blurted out.
"How do you feel about me?" I asked getting scared.
"I like you alot Jason. I mean if Kevin wasn't with you I would definatley go after you in a major way," he said honestly scrunching up his nose looking at me. I almost laughed at him but didn't. Justin was alot younger than I was and I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
"Well truth is Justin, I liked it to, I mean I felt an attraction to you when I first met you too," I replied honestly to. I sat there looking at the floor. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see his innocent face looking down at me. I scooted over and he sat down next to me putting his head on my shoulder. "Well this is a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into isn't it?" I asked shaking my head. He nodded sniffleling. I took his chin in my hand and made him look at me. "Don't cry Justin, it hurts me to see you in pain," I said wiping his tears away with me thumb.
"I want to be with you Jason," he said. I looked away from him and stood up and walked towards the window and looked out. He came up behind me and put his arms around me and hugged me. "Can't we figure out a way to be together?" he asked.
I broke away from him and looked at him. His face was so honest and innocent. I pained me to look at him knowing that I was about to break his young heart. "Justin, in another time maybe. But now I am in love with Kevin. I mean he is my everything. He is the reason I wake up in the morning. I can't think of ever living another day with out him." I said looking at him. His eyes welled up with tears and he nodded his head.
"So I guess Justin is left out again huh?" he said bitterly walking away and out the door. I sat down in my chair and looked out the window. I suddenly got an idea so I picked up the phone and dialed a number. The phone rang and my brother picked up on the other end.
"Hey Josh, what are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.
"What? No hello Josh, how are you Josh?" he laughed.
"OK OK hello Josh, how are you Josh?" I asked laughing back. "Now what are you doing tomorrow.
"Nothing why?" he asked. "Planning on setting me up with one of your crazy blind dates again?" he asked laughing.
"As a matter of fact there is someone I want you to meet---" I started.
"OHH NOOO you don't not another blind date. Your dates always turn out lousy," he insisted.
"PLEEEAAASE?" I asked. (He could never refuse his little brother ok ok he was my twin only two minutes older than me.)
"Who is he? Is he good looking?" he asked sighing.
"You ever heard of Justin Timberlake?" I asked wincing at the expect responce. I got it.
"Have I ever heard of Justin Timberlake? What does a bear shit in the woods. Of course I've heard of Justin Timberlake," He shouted.
"Well if all goes well that will be your blind date. Be here for breakfast in the morning," I instructed him. After hanging up with him I climbed the stairs and headed to my room and ran into BBrian headed down the attic stairs. "Hey Brian, what are you doing up in the attic?" I asked.
"Just snooping," he said nervously.
"OK well have fun. I'm going to bed so I will see you in the morning," I said shaking my head. 'I must remember to have a talk with Brian in the morning. He definatly needs a hoby.' I thought to myself laughing quietly. I opened the door and snuck in my room. I looked at Kevin laying there peacefully sleeping. "God you are so sexy," I mumbled to myself. OOOPs I woke him up. He sat up rubbing his eyes. Once he looked at me he broke out in a wide sleepy grin. "Hey sexy," I said to him.
"Hey yourself," he said back climbing out of bed. All he was wearing was a pair of boxers. I went to him and wrapped my arms around him and reached up and pulled his head down to mine and pressed my lips to him and kissed him fully on the mouth. He ground his crotch into mine moaning his hand sliding under my shirt pulling it open. I moaned in frustration. I wasn't ready for sex yet. I gently pulled away from him. His hurt expression tore my heart in two.
"I do love you, you know?" I asked. He nodded with tears in his eyes.
"I've hurt you so much," he wimpered backing away from me.
"Kevin, we will get over this. It will take time. But we will get over this. Some day soon I promise we will make love again," I smiled up at him reaching and stroking his chin. He leaned into my hand and kissed it. "Now go back to bed mister!" I scolded him. He reluctantly climbed back into bed. I went into the restroom and got ready and climbed in too. He snuggled up to me and went to sleep.
(From Brian's point of view.)
"AAAAAARGH, there got it," I said aloud as I finally got the rope cut. I struggled out of the remaining ropes. Standing up and moving my legs and arms trying to get the circulation back into them. I decided to do some exploring. I found a TV and VCR with a post it note on it saying "play me" so I pushed the play button. My doubles face appeared on the screen.
"If you are watching this pretty boy than you have gotten loose. That was to be expected. You can have free reign of the attic but I'm afraid that there is no way out. The window is unbreakable and the interior of the attic is soundproof metal sheeting. No one will hear you. Also don't try the door. It is wired with enough volts to stop your heart. Play your cards right and you will live. Fuck it up and you die," my double said sneering at me. The screen changed to another room the next face to appear on the screen sent me in a rage. It was J.C.
"Hey Brian, by now you know that I am the mastermind behind this scheme. I am the one who wants the Backstreet Boys wiped out. You see there can only be one boy band out there and that band is going to be Nsync. So I am going to destroy your presious band from the inside. And I am going to enjoy every moment of it. Bye now," he said. The screen went blank. I sat down shocked.
"Why J.C.? Why would you want to destroy us? It just doesn't make sence!" I said aloud. I heard the lock in the door and it opened and in walked my double holding a gun. I thought about tackling him but didn't want to risk it. Besides I wanted to find out who else was involved in this and the only way to do that was to play along.
"Hey pretty boy!" he said sarcasticly. I sneered at him and flipped him off. He shoved me hard in the back and I turned and punched him in the chest. He just stood there laughing. "Now now Brian baby if you're not good I'll have to send you to bed with out dinner." He said laying a plate of food on the table. I looked at it wondering if it was poisoned. "Oh come on jack ass. If I wanted you dead I would have just shot in the restroom. No I need you alive to help me with the details. Such as what is up with the mangy mut. I mean he about tore my hand off when I tried to pet him." A light bulb went off in my head.
"I should've told you to stay away from Boomer. He can't stand me and vise versa," I lied grinning. He just glared at me and than asked me another question.
"So what is the story with your cousin. Is he always such a wory wart?" he asked. I clammed up refusing to answer any other questions. He just stood there staring at me and than swore and left the room. I was alone again in a sound proof room. I sat down in the chair and looked at the plate and picked it up in a fit of rage and threw it at the door. It shattered into million pieces sending food in all directions I plopped down on the bed laying face down sobbing.
"WHY ME?" I screamed into my pillow. It was several hours later when I finally fell asleep.
Ok that is it for now. What will happen to Brian. Will Bbrian get caught? Do you like how the story is headed? Please e-mail me and let me know how you like it.
