I called all of you here for this meeting today because it has come to my attention that there are a lot of things happening among you that can be drastic to your repected groups. The first thing I want to talk about is the sexual orientation of you all. I know it's known of my business, but I think I should know before it hit the tabloids about you and mess up your careers. I would like for any of you that are "GAY" to let me know so that I would be prepared to handle this just in case it does make the tabloids." Johnny stated as everyone in the room had a surprised look on their face. "What the hell! I know you just didn't ask us to tell you who's straight and who's not!" Justin said as he get up and headed towards the door. "Justin, get back over there and sit down! I am asking because I want to know who is gay besides Joey, Chris, Brian, Jason and Howie!" Johnny shouted, making everyone jump in their seats. "Howie you're gay too? Why didn't you tell me man?" Brian asked as he realized that his close friend hasn't told him he was gay. "What I do with my time is my business, I shouldn't have to answer to you or anybody else Johnny! My personal life is mine and mine and line and it has nothing to do with except the person I choose to spend it with!" Howie shouted as he got up and left the room in a huff. "Jason! That's the guy you've been fucking around with?!" Jeff Patterson asked. "Yeah, is that a problem to you Jeff? Is that a problem to any of you, if so shove it out your asses!" Jason shouted as he also left the room to go find Howie. "Well looks like you and them do a lot of stuff with your asses already!" Lance chimed in, receiving evil glances from multiple eyes in the room. "Lance! Don't kind of talk will not be tolerated!" Sean screamed. "Look, I don't see what the big deal is. There wasn't a problem when you didn't know we were gay, what's the problem now, what has happened to make you go through all of this?" Brian asked. "This has happened and I want nothing like this to happen again." Johnny stated as he pulled out a newspaper clipping showing Joey and his ex-boyfriend Chad Allen sitting in a hottub chatting and drinking. "That's not fair Johnny, I was there talking to him, I didn't do anything! Yeah he was my boyfriend a couple of months beforehand, but when that happened we had broken up, we were just talking!" Joey screamed as he started to cry. "Look Johnny, these guys have kept their relationships discreet and private all this time, there is nothing to worry about. Because someone stalked Joey to take that picture, you shouldn't hold that against all the guys here in a relationship." Sean said as he walked over and held Joey's hand. "If it was a regular relationship I wouldn't be worried. Just make sure that these guys and you keep it discreet on the tour. If anything appears in the tabloids or the media has something, then I will have your asses, but in a different way." Johnny said as he ended the meeting and said everyone could go. * Outside of the Jive Building * "Honey, come on, don't worry about any of that, it's none of Johnny's business what we do, we are still getting married. We have been together for too long, I am not going to throw away what we have to make that bastard happy!" Brian cried as he tried to convince Chris to come on and go with him home. "Baby look, maybe we should cool it for the tour, maybe we should have a little time apart, no sneaking around, no ruffling no one's feathers." Chris said as he got in his car and started the ignition. "Honey where you going, come with me." Brian said. "I am going to my house. Brian I love you, I will see you later." Chris said as he pulled out of the space and drove away. Standing there in that spot, Brian Thomas Littrell had a breakdown, a breakdown that was so bad, he fell down in the spot he was standing in and didn't move. A couple of minutes went by, Joey and Sean were walking out of the Jive building and they noticed a figure lying on the ground. The two men ran over and noticed that it was Brian lying on the ground and that it looks as though he had had some kind of attack. They hurried and called 911, but Chris was no where to be found. "Johnny has done it now, this will hit the media before we know it and spread like wildfire!" Sean said as the EMT guys strapped Brian to a gurney and placed him in the back of the ambulance. "He had a heartattack, but why? Was he under that much strain and pressure?" Joey asked as the ambulance drove away. "I don't know, but we need to locate Kevin and Chris so they can know what's happening. You go find them, I will go get Johnny." Sean said as he ran back to the Jive Building. * Jive Private Cafeteria * "Joey calm down, speak slowly, now tell me what's wrong." Kevin said as he tried to calm Joey down. "I said that Brian was just taken to the hospital, me and Sean found him outside on the ground, the EMTs said he had a heartattack!" Joey screamed and ran back outside to go find Chris. "What!!!! This is all Johnny's fault for upsetting him like he did! Damn, I better get to the hospital and check on him and call Aunt Jackie and Uncle Harold and let them know what's going on." Kevin said as he reached for his cell phone and started dialing numbers. * JC, Justin and Chris' House * "Chris, Chris are you in there? Come on talk to me, it's an emergency, Brian's in the hospital!" Joey screamed as Chris swung the door open and stared at him. "WHAT!?!?!" Chris asked. "Brian's in the hospital, me and Sean found him laying on the ground at Jive, the EMT's took him to the hospital, they said he had a heartattack, come on let's go!" Joey said as he pulled Chris out of the house to the car. "DAMN, IT'S ALL MY FAULT, IT's MY FAULT, IT'S MY FAULT!!!1" Chris screamed as Joey drove to the hospital. ========================== TO BE CONTINUED...
