Joey stated, as he started pacing around in the living room, as there was a knock at the door. "Coming..." "Joey, I am here." Brian said as he opened the door. "Hello Brian. I am so happy to see you." Joey stated, as Brian walked into the room, closing the door behind him. "I am happy to see you too. Are you okay? Kevin told me that you have been having some bad times lately." Brian stated. "Oh great! Does everyone in Jive know about my problems?" Joey asked, as he walked away from Brian heading towards the kitchen. "Joey...Joey, come back. What's wrong?" Brian asked following behind Joey. "Look! If the only reason you are here because Kevin told you I was having some bad times, then why don't you just leave, I don't need pity!" Joey stated. "Pity! I am not here for pity! I am here because I love you Joey, I am here because I feel I made a mistake leaving you, not fucking pity!" Brian shouted. "I am sorry Joey, I didn't mean to shout at you." "You made a mistake leaving me? It's too late for that Brian, you left me, got married and had a kid." Joey stated as he sat down at the kitchen table. "Maybe it isn't too late Joey, I love you, and I wish I could take all that back and not have done it, but I did it." Brian stated as he sat down in the chair next to Joey. "Brian, you are married, you have a kid. Of course it's too late. What are you going to do, get a divorce and come running to me?" Joey asked. "Yes I am going to get a divorce. I can't take living like that anymore, I need some love." Brian stated, as Joey turned and looked up at him. "Why are you getting divorced?" Joey asked. "Because I made a mistake. I didn't marry the person I loved." Brian stated, "I didn't marry you." "Then why did you get married to her Brian, why didn't you marry me?" Joey asked. "Because I wanted to make everyone else happy that's why. I tried to hide the real me, I tried to have the life that I believed you couldn't offer me." Brian stated. "I thought that marrying Leighanne, that I would have someone to love, a happy family, something to live for." "Well I am sorry you felt I couldn't love you and give you a happy family." Joey stated as he slammed his hands down on the table and jumped up. "Joey listen to me, that's not what I meant." Brian stated as he got up and walked over to Joey and hugged him. "Brian! Get off of me! Get your arms off of me!" Joey shouted. "You lost the right to hold me when you left me." "Joey please...please listen to me." Brian stated. "There isn't anything to listen to. You are married Brian. When you left me, my whole world shattered to pieces." Joey stated. "I know. Kev told me." Brian stated. "What the hell did Kevin tell you?" Joey asked. "Well he told me that you were in some abusive relationships and that you were seeing a therapist at Jive." Brian stated. "I wish I had known about all of that sooner." "Well it seems if you wouldn't have left me, I wouldn't have been in those relationships now would I?" Joey stated. "That's true you wouldn't have, but I wanted to make everyone else happy." Brian stated as he stepped away from Joey and started to cry. "You didn't make me happy Brian. The one person you said you loved, you ended up making me sad." Joey stated. "Joey please...I am so sorry that I left you. I just thought that if I married a woman and had a child, that I would make my parents proud of me for once. You know how my parents were when we were together, and you know how the felt about me being gay." Brian explained. "Well I guess that's what you had to do then, but you hurt me and you hurt me badly when you left me. It hurt more when I found out that you had went ahead and married Leighanne. I would have never thought that you would have ended up marrying her after all the things she did to you." Joey stated. "Well that's what the guys said when they found out we had gotten married." Brian stated, but she had blackmailed me into marrying her. She had proof of the relationship I had with you. So I had no choice but to marry her, I couldn't ruin your career along with the rest of N Sync and I didn't want to do that with the BSB. So I married her." Brian explained. "What! She had proof, what kind of proof?" Joey asked. "She had a video tape of me and you making love." Brian stated. "She What!!!!" Joey screamed. "She had a video tape of the two of us making love. I don't know how or when she got it, but she came to my place one night and showed it to me. After it was over, she told me that if I didn't marry her, she would send that tape to MTV and every other music resource she could so that she could ruin us all." Brian stated. "Oh my God Brian, so you married her, what ever happened to the tape?" Joey asked. "I don't know. For a while she had it locked in a safe deposit box, but when I got the key to the box it was supposed to be in, the tape wasn't there." Brian stated. "So she still has the tape and she can still use it against you?" Joey stated. "Yeah, she can still use it against us." Brian stated. "No she can still use it against you." Joey stated, "Besides it wouldn't ruin anybody in N Sync because we are on an extended break right now since Justin is working on a solo project." "But it would still generate bad publicity for you guys. Do you think you would get any acting offers if a director knew you were gay?" Brian asked. "Well yes, the director and producer of `Rent' know that I am gay. They knew it before I even auditioned for the part. They saw my performance in `My Big Fat Greek Wedding' and kind of figured it out." Joey stated. "So if that tape would to surface and Leighanne used it against me, it wouldn't affect your career?" Brian asked. "No it wouldn't, but why would she use it against you, we are not together, so there is no reason for her to use it now." Joey stated. "No we are not together, but I would like us to be together again Joey." Brian stated. "Brian you know that isn't possible. You are married and have a child, what would happen to your son?" Joey asked. "Well if things go the way I want, I would raise Baylee with the help of the man I love, if he would help me." Brian stated, looking at Joey hopefully. "Brian that's not possible, are you thinking clearly?" Joey asked, "I know Leighanne Wallace, she would never give you custody of her child, she will fight you every step of the way." While the two men continued to talk, there was a knock at the front door. Wondering why the person didn't ring the doorbell, Joey got up and excused himself from the table as he walked to the front door and opened it. Not expecting to see the person at the door, Joey screamed, a girlish scream. "Joey what's the matter?" Brian asked as he came running into the living room as he screamed too. ============================== TO BE CONTINUED...
