PART FIFTEEN

********

I sat motionless in the hospital waiting room. Waiting for news. Waiting to
see Nick. Constant waiting.

Just this morning everything had been perfect. Now, just over 15 hours later
our lives had change once again.

I went over it in my mind. I watched Nick fall, hit by the bullet from
Darren's gun as he fell over the cliff edge.
I ran to him. I craddled his head, rocking back and forth. I screamed. A
deep primal scream from the very depths of my soul.

The ambulance had been quick. Nick was in hospital before I had time to
register what had happened.

As I watched the television, our video came on. This was only the third time
I had seen it. The song had been a cover of a Westlife song that had
appeared on their third album, 'World Of Our Own'. It was called 'I Cry'. It
was a fantastic song. Deep and moody. It seemed to sum up my mood as I
watched.

Nick's sultry voice wafted across the busy waiting room;

'You said goodbye
I fell apart,
I fell from all we had
To I never knew
I needed you so bad,'

This was the part that had been filmed after my accident. Nick was walking,
with the other guys behing him, along the back of the Seine, singing into
the camera

'You need to let things go,
I know you told me so,
I've been through hell
To break this spell'

Then Howie took over

'Why did I ever let you slip away
Can't stand another day without you
Without the feeling I once knew,'

Then came the 'tear' shot that had so impressed Nick on that first night so
many years ago.... well, that's what it feels like(!)

The chorus was sung by all the boys

'I cry silently,
I cry inside of me,
I cry hopelessly,
cos I know I'll never
breath your love again'

Half way through the chorus, the scene changed to the 'flashback' filmed in
Miami.

'I cry
cos your not here with me,
cos i'm lonely as can be,
I cry hopelessly
cos I know i'll never breath your love again,'

The images flashed quickly as the song entered it's second verse, this time
with Brian leading,

'If you could see me now,
You would know just how,
How hard I try
Not to wonder why,
I wish I could believe in something new,
Please somebody tell me it's not true
(At this point he went into high pitch mode!)
I'll never get over you (He held this note for a long time)'

AJ and Kevin's turn now

'Why did I ever let you slip away
Can't stand another day without you,
Without the feeling I once knew' (They held this note as long as Brian held
his)

The chorus came again, images flashing from the 'present' in Paris and the
'past' in Miami.

Nick took the last part of the song

'If I could have you back tomorrow,
If I could loose the pain and sorrow,
I would do just anything
To make you see, you still love me'

He had such a powerful voice. It always turned my legs to jelly! Each time
he sang for me it always seemed to lead to the bedroom!

The last chorus came and went as I dreamed away. I thought over all that had
happened to us, all things that seemed to stand in our way. Hayden, Darren,
the car accident, now this. The one upside was that the police had ruled
that I had nothing to do with Darren's death. They called it 'Death by
misadventure.' Yeah, the misadventure being trying to shoot your
ex-boyfriends boyfriend.
They say the course of true love never ran smoothly, but this is ridiculous!

"We're here about our son," I vaugely heard the American accents behind me;
"Nick Carter." The mention of his name made me turn.

The man and woman stood at the nurses station. The nurse had just bent down
to retrieve the information from the computer as I walked up.

"Mr and Mrs Carter?" I asked nervously. How had the gotten here so quick? I
had only left the message an hour ago.

"Yes?" Nick's mother was crying.

"I'm Carl." This had been the first time we had met. She saw the tears
running down my face; "Oh my god! Is he.....?"

"What?" I asked confused "Oh!" I wiped away the tears "God no! Sorry it's
been a stressful couple of months. He's fine. In fact he should be out in a
couple of minutes."

They were looking as confused as I had been earlier, so I continued; "The
bullet just grazed his shoulder. He had to have one stitch!" I chuckled
"One! And to hear him go on about it you'd think it was one million!"

Nick's parents let out a huge sigh of relief.

"How did you get here so quick?" I asked "I only left you a message an hour
ago?"

"We were already on our way to see you guys......" Bob Carter said "A sort
of suprise."

"I guess it was you who had the suprise," We all turned as we heard Nick. He
looked perfect, as usual.

"Nicky!!" Jane Carter ran to him and embraced him; "I was so scared!"

"You can never keep a good boy down," Nick laughed, he was next engulfed by
his father.

"You just can't help getting into trouble can you?!" His father chuckled.
Bob turned to me; "This one time, he tried to set fire to the cat, then
wondered why it scratched him!"

"Dad!" Nick said in the way teenagers do when their parent show them up! I
just laughed. Nick parents were so easy to get on with.

We left the hospital and were instantly surrounded by flashing bulbs,
somehow the media had found out about Nick being in hospital.

"Nick are you hurt?"

"Were you on drugs at the time?"

"Are the rumours true about you and that lap dancer in Hong Kong?"

"What about the rumours that your gay?"

"Nick?"

"Nick??"

NICK??"

The questions bombarded us. We had to shield our eyes from the intense
flashes. Pushing through the crowds of jabbering reporters, I protectively
put my arm around Nick's shoulder.

********

I just sat, watching. I had never seen him like this. He paced like a caged
animal.

"How DARE they?!" He shouted to no-one in particular. His mom and dad were
there by his side. Trying to calm him.

"Nicky," his mother said soothingly "Just try to calm down."

"CALM DOWN?!" He spun on his heels and fixed his mother with a penetrating
look. "We've had the press phoning constantly," As he said this the phone
rang. I picked up the reciever, replacing it as quickly.

"Your not the only one they are getting at," Bob Carter said, "Your mother
and I have had calls to the house. Angel phoned us earlier. The press people
are camped outside and, besides, how do you think Carl feels?!" I felt
strangely apart from it all.  Since we had left the hospital three hours ago
we had had nothing but agravation from the press and TV. All were desperate
to find out why Nick had been at the hospital. He was getting so stressed
about it.

"We're just getting ourselves worked up." I decided to be the voice of
reason. "We need to sleep on it. You guys need a place to stay?"

"It's ok sweetie." Jane said "We've booked into the Savoy."

"Swanky!" I laughed lightly as Nick walked into the kitchen. "Let me at
least give you a lift." I stated.

"You have a two seat convertable Jag," Bob started "How do you propose to
work that one!?"

"Ok....." I said "Let me call you a cab then?" I picked up the phone, as I
did it began to ring. I dropped the handset back onto its rest, sighing
loudly.

"It'll calm down." Jane placed a hand on my back "Promise." She smiled. Not
for the first time I wished for my own mother, one to hold me when I got
scared, one to tell me i'm doing good. Christ sake Carl! Grow up.

Once more I picked up the phone and dialled a cab. I asked for Nick's
parents to be picked up at the back of my building. It was less conspicuous.
Nick came out of the kitchen just as his parents were about to leave.

"I'm sorry, I just get so frustrated." He told his mom and dad.

"We know honey." Jane moved across the room and embraced Nick. "It'll all be
fine, and besides, you've got a good man to see you through."

Nick smiled for the first time in, it seemed, ages. I shook hands with Bob
and hugged Jane as they left. Nick and I watched as the cab pulled away,
into the city.

"I love your parents!" I chuckled as I wrapped my arms around Nick's waist.
He had reverted into his dark state. "What are you going to do?" It was
obvious he was planning something. I could tell just by being near him.

"I am about to put a stop to all of these rumours." He looked me straight in
the eye. "Then I'm gonna make love to my fiance." He tilted his head as he
moved forward. This was the first time we had kissed in, again it seems,
ages. The electricity ran through me as if I had been standing under a
pylon. I didn't want it to end. I didn't want Nick to break the connection
but he did. Moving with deliberate swiftness. He picked up the phone before
someone had a chance to phone in.

He was calling the Backstreet Boys management in LA; "So it's gonna be
done?" He said an hour later. I had sat out on the balcony to give him some
privacy but now it was getting too warm. I love summer but, dang!  "7.30
tomorrow? Right." He hung up and rubbed his tired eyes. I moved up behind
him as I walked out of the bedroom. I had changed into just a long t-shirt
that reached the top of my thigh.

"What's going to be done?" I asked. He didn't turn around as he answered.

"I'm going on TV tomorow." He looked out of the window at the low flying
aircraft making their way to Heathrow.

"Why?" I didn't need to ask, I had a sneaking suspision I knew.

"Im going to tell the whole world that i'm in love with a man." I did know.
I wasn't going to protest. He continued to look out of the huge pane of
glass, "I want to walk down the street with you, I want to hold your
hand..... I don't want to hide." He turned finally, as he saw me he said;
"Wow," He smiled as he looked  me over "You look up for a bit of seduction!"

I decided to put on my best Mrs Robinson, seeing as I was SLIGHTLY older!;
"I'm not trying to seduce you," I lowered myself onto his lap "Would you
like me to seduce you?" I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him
passionatly. With all that had gone on recently I had been a tad lax in my
shows of affection.
He moved me off of his lap on to the sofa without breaking our kiss. He
layed on top of me, our tounges playing over each other. He looked into my
eyes, passion flashed as clear as day in his perfect features. He started to
hitch up my shirt; "Hey," I broke the kiss "Aren't you going to buy a girl a
drink first?!" I laughed.

"You have to earn it!" He once more suckered himself onto me. I was lost in
the throws of passion as the phone started rining again. I reached over and
knocked it off of the table.

"Hello?" AJ's tinny voice came from it "Is anyone there?"

Nick undid his jeans and pushed them down his his muscular thighs, I ran my
hands down his shirted back and over his exposed arse. I squeezed each cheek
with my hands. Nick pushed my legs apart and slowly pushed into me. All of
the problems of the last day were lost as he moved my legs over his
shoulders. Moving in and out of me, Nick wispered in my ear; "I'm gonna
marry you," He licked my earlobe "Nothing's going to stop us."

********

We lay on the sofa, both naked, both lost in the love we had for each other,
both wishing this moment would last forever.

'I'd better get ready." Nick climbed off of the sofa. I pinched his butt as
he walked away; "Hey!" he turned to me "cheeky!"

"Wait, I'm coming with you." I moved and came up behind him

"I can do this by myself, you know" He turned and placed his hands on my
naked waist

"You can," I started "But your not going to," We had a shower, including
early morning blowjob. Getting changed, we talked where we would have our
honeymoon. As we talked I remembered the engagement rings. After Darren's
death, I had forgotten about them. I pulled the rings out of my jacket
pocket.

"Nickolas Gene Cater," I said getting down on to one knee with the white box
in my hand,

"What are you doing?!" He laughed his head off "Don't be an ass!"

"Shut up will ya!" I laughed along with him "I'm tryin' to be romantic!"

"Ok, ok!" He tried, and failed, to stop laughing

"Nickolas Gene Carter," I said again "Will you marry me?"

"No." He laughed and ran out of our bedroom.

"Hey!" I ran after him "I paid tons for these rings and you are going to
wear one of them!!"

I caught up with him and pushed him onto the sofa. I tickled him untill he
was almost crying.

"OK....OK!! STOP!!" He laughed "Fine! I'll wear your damn ring!"

"First, please let me do this properly." I found myself, once more kneeling
on the floor. "Nickolas Gene Carter, will you marry me?"

"Yes, I'll marry you." He turned serious at last. I slipped the ring from
its box and onto Nick's finger. It shone in the newly risen sun. I stood,
wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him once more. He undid the
buttons on my shirt and ran his hands up and down my chest. I started to do
the same, but was interupted by the arrival of the car that would take us to
the studios of GMTV, the premiere breakfast show on British television.

********

The bright lights of the studio made the sweat form on Nick's head as he sat
waiting to be interviewed by GMTV's Kate Garraway. She leant over to him and
placed a hand on his thigh.

"Nervous?" She asked smiling her TV smile.

"Not at all," Nick smiled at her.

"We'll be with you in just a few seconds." She patted his leg, leaving her
hand there a fraction of a second longer than it needed to be there. I was
watching from off set and I felt the most intense feeling of jelousy I had
ever felt. It was completely irrational, I knew that. Nick was totally
committed to me and besides he was gay. She wouldn't appeal to him..... even
if she did look a tad mannish!! (Anyone who's watched GMTV will agree, she
is rough as you like!! In my personal opinion, obviously!)

The stage manager signalled that they were about to go on air. He counted
down.... 5....4....3....2....1.... on air.

"Welcome back," Kate started "We are very lucky to have with us this
morning, Nick Carter of the world famous pop group the Backstreet Boys."

Nick said good morning before Kate launched into jounalistic overdrive;
"Well, you've been a very popular boy these last few days, haven't you?"

"Apparently so...." Nick smiled his winning smile; "I'm used to being
followed by the press but these last couple days have been totally hectic!"

"It all started when you were admitted into St Thomas' hospital, can you
tell us why that was?" Kate cocked her head to one side in an obvious
'Princess Di' pose.

"It was all something and nothing," Nick stated "I was, im dissapointed to
say, involved in a fight and was left a little brusied. It was nothing
serious." We had decided before we left that Darren would be left as far out
of this as possible.

"What was the fight about?"

"Well," Nick was the picture of calm as the question was processed by his
brain; "It was over a person."

"Ah!" Kate smiled "A crime of passion, as it were! So who was the lucky
lady? Anyone we know?"

"That's the main reason I wanted to do this interview, I feel I have been
lying to my fans for long enough."

"Well," Kate looked into the camera and into the homes of millions of
people, "I'm intrigued!"

"Well Kate, I just want to tell everyone who has supported us these past
years that....." he took a deep breath, my stomach learched, "I'm gay." You
could just hear a million hearts break across the airwaves! Also a million
more who now knew they may be in with a chance!!!

"Oh." This completely threw Kate and it took her a few moments to recover;
"And, if it's not too much of a personal intrusion,"

Nick cut in here with a laugh; "A journalist who doesn't want to be
personal! That's something I'd pay good money for!"

Kate shot him the most 'Anne Robinson' look i'd ever seen outside of the
'Weakest Link' studio!

"As I was saying," She cleared her throat "Are you in a relationship?"

"Yes Kate I am."

*******

The interview came to an end and Nick made his way back to the green room
where I was waiting for him. He walked over to me and threw his arms around
me, nuzzling into my neck he wispered; "I've done it." he sounded more
relieved than I had ever heard him.
