Subject: WAKING UP WITH A VENGEANCE6

Well, hello my faithful fans! And how are you this fine morning/evening/
night/ afternoon? Well, sorry about chapter 5 being so short. I was
overloaded with work that week. But now I'm not...but you WILL see about a
one-week gap between chapter 6 (this one) and chapter 7 because I will be
in the faithful BAHAMAS! Woooo hoooo! I am quite excited! Well, I am going
to try and post this ASAP, I have a busy weekend!

Anyway, recapping the trusty chapter 5:

"Hey, AJ, Nick, we need to tell you guys something." He said in as much a
serious tone as possible.

"Shoot!" AJ said as he calmed down Nick.

"Well, I have been having really weird dreams the past 2 weeks, and the
girl in my dream was Brandy and when we met her, we realized that we have
the same birthday and we might be long lost twins...but that's not the
point..."

Brandy continued,

"You see, yesterday we saw these dolls of us fighting each other...it was
Joey, Howie, Brian, Nick and Chris, then me and JC, then Justin, Lance, AJ,
and Kevin. Joey, Howie, Brian, Nick and Chris all had red eyes and everyone
seemed to be fighting...it was really weird...we have no idea what
everything means, but we're researching...and we need your help...trust me,
we're just as confused as you are!"

"Yeah, that's confusing!" AJ nodded.

"Yeah...but we'll help you. After all, it DOES have to do with us too!"
Nick said in response.

"Thanks guys!" Brandy gave AJ and Nick hugs.

"Anytime...well, I have something to admit!" Nick told us. I could only
imagine what he was about to say.

"Sure, Nick, say whatever you want!" JC reassured our trust to Nick.

"Uh, Brandy.... I REALLY like you!" Nick announced, blushing

My face turned bright red and into my eyes. I couldn't contain myself.

I let anger take me over.

"YOU BASTARD SON OF A BITCH!"

I punched Nick.

Right in the face.

Brandy stopped the car.

"Oh Shit!" Brandy yelled as she stopped the car.


Uh Oh! Justin getting toooooooooo feisty! Dats not good! Well, let's see if
our gorgeous Nicky is okey dokey good, ok? In the words of Mario, "HERE VE
GO!"

Sorry for being really weird this chapter, I'm in a really weird
mood...REALLY weird mood.

PART6: Something Wrong With Justin

"Justin, what the fuck is wrong with you?" AJ said as he pried me off of
the now unconscious Nick. I fell, in disbelief of what I have just
done. Brandy looked at me with a long, cold, stare.

"I can't believe you!" she yelled at me as she helped AJ and JC load Nick
into the backseat of the car. JC and AJ sat in the back with the bleeding
Nick and I sat in the shotgun, crying. Brandy drove as fast as possible
down to the hospital. There was no motion coming out of Nick, and everyone
was in complete awe and shock. AJ was too mad to say anything, and Brandy
and JC were incredibly shocked and whenever I looked at Brandy, who was
trying so hard to focus on driving, she shook her head at me in disbelief.

"What the fuck is wrong with me?" I said to myself. "This is just
great. You've lost everyone. Including the girlfriend you love more than
anything in this world." I started crying.

Before I knew it, we were there. AJ, JC, and Brandy carried Nick quickly
but carefully to the emergency room as I trotted behind them. The nurses
put Nick on a stretcher, sent him with a doctor, and showed us where to
wait.

We sat down. Everyone just sat there, looking down at the ground, not
saying a word. Occasionally, someone would look up at me and shake their
head at me, which just made me feel even worse. After an hour of sitting
there, JC took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Chris? It's JC. Meet us at the Hospital. Something happened... I'll
explain it when you get there...its Nick...no he's not dead...bye" he hung
up his phone and looked at me.

"Justin, what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you do this?" JC
questioned me.

"I let my anger take over me. He wants to take away my girlfriend from me!"
I tried to defend myself.

"He never said he wanted to take me away from you! He just said he had a
crush on me! Just a crush! And you know I wouldn't make it anything more."
Brandy yelled at me with hurt her eyes.

"I'm sorry I should've trusted you!" I was sooo upset that she was upset
and I couldn't beleive what i had just done.

"JC? Where's Nick?" Everyone looked at the door as Brian entered the room
with Joey, Chris, Lance, Kevin, and Howie.

"I wish I knew!" JC said as he looked down.

"So what exactly happened?" Lance sat down next to his lover.

"Nick said he liked Brandy and Justin had a spaz attack," JC said as he
gave me a dirty look.

"WHY YOU!" Brian went straight for my stomach and I crawled up to prevent
him from hitting me, but he was restrained by Kevin pulling him back.

"You guys, I'm really sorry. I know I got out of hand. I don't know what I
else to say...I'm sooo sorry!" I didn't know what to do! I was loosing my
best friends, my girlfriend...and I really didn't mean to do it!

"Hello, is everyone here for Nick?" a nurse spoke as she entered the room.

"YES OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED!?!?" Brandy half- asked/ half- demanded as she
jumped onto the nurse.

"He's fine, just a concussion and a black eye!"

"Can I see him?"

"Sure he's right down..." the nurse was too late, Brandy began jetting down
the hall.

"Girlfriend?" the nurse asked.

"Yeah, she's mine." I told her. All the guys gave me a funny look.

"Not for long curly...not for long," Kevin said to me as he walked out with
everyone else. I followed them.

We entered the room. Nick was laying down with a bandage around his
head. He looked extremely dazed and he had a horrible.

"Oh my God! Nick!" Brandy walked over to him and gave him a light hug. His
bruised and bloody face showed a large grin on his face.

"Brandy!" he whispered, "I'm fine, actually i'm just dandy. Just tired
though..after all it is what, 4 o' clock in the morning?"

"Yeah. Well all need to get some sleep...how you doing Frack?" Brian walked
over to Nick, slapped his hand, and pulled him into a light hug.

"Ok, you guys have to go now and let him get rest...we'll be releasing him
tomorrow as soon as the doctor comes back at around 9:00" the nurse told
us.

"Ok. Here's number if you need to call Nick," Brandy told Nick as she
handed him a piece of paper

"Alright. By everywa..." Nicks rolled over and fell asleep.

Brandy was the first person out of the room. We all followed and got into
the cars we were in before. At about 4:15, we arrived at Brandy's
house. She showed the backstreet Boys there individual rooms. I was the
last one and she just totally ignored me and went into her room.

"Brandy, am I sleeping in here?" i asked her. I hope the answer was yes.

"I can't believe what you did today Justin."  Uh oh...i don't think my wish
will come true.

"I know I was a fool. I didn't mean to do it. I just thought he was going
to try to steal you from me."

"I don't care that you hit him at all, Justin, even if he is a good
friend. All you proved to me today was that you can't trust me."

"What does that mean?"

"Justin, you know that I love and that I would never leave you. If you
could trust me not to give into the temptation that isn't even there, then
you won't be able to trust me at all.

"I trust you Brandy! You know I do!" I pleaded for her forgiveness.

"If you did, then you wouldn't have cared. Now I'm exhausted and I've had
one shitty day. There's a room down the hall on the right side."

"Are we breaking up?"

"Well, I don't know about you, but I like knowing that the guy that likes
me can trust me too."

I ran out and cried like a baby.

I never usually got upset after a break up...but Brandy was almost more
like a soulmate than a girlfriend. I did trust her, but how I can I prove
that to her? It was an accident. I'M SORRY! I said out loud.

"Its Ok." JC was in my door why. I guess he heard the wailing of my crys.

"No its not. I just lost Brandy because of it." I whimpered. He came up to
me and gave me a hug.

"Listen, I just off the phone with someone...remember the psychic from
Teen? Well, she gave me her card so I could call her if I needed any
guidance. And I did. I told her everything, and about Brandy. She told me
to tell you to make sure to hold on to her, becauses she's your
soulmate...meaning you were meant to be together. And we're long lost
brother and sister...she never told us she was adopted."

"So long for hanging onto her."

"What do you mean?"

"SHE JUST FUCKING DUMPED ME!" I started crying hysterically again.

"Eh God! Thats not good..." JC thought a minute, and then continued, "But I
know how to win her back!" JC put an evil grin on his face.

"How?"

JC always had great plans... :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day in the hospital, no one was talking to each other...or at
least no one was talking to me.

"Hey, you guys...do you think I could talk to Nick alone? I REALLY owe him
an apology." I said. I could tell Brian was reluctant to allow me, but he
said,

"YOu sure do...knock yourself out." I entered his room while everyone else
waited outside.

"Nick?" I asked to see if he was still up.

"Yeah?" his head perked up, then settled down, "Oh...hey Justin."

"Hi..um listen, Nick, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. I let
my anger take me over and I can't believe I did that. I'm so sorry."

"Its ok," we hugged, and he said "By the way, how are you and Brandy?"

I sighed, "She's all yours."

"Yikes...I'm sorry."

"Its ok. Wasn't your fault. Its the consequence I get for hitting you."

"Ok. Send brandy in for me please?"

"Sure."

I walked out, nearly in tears.

"Brandy, nick wants you." I said to her. I couldn't look her straight in
her beautiful blue eyes.

"Ok." She walked passed me.

I couldn't see what was happening, but somehow I knew it was something bad
on my part.

And it was.

Brandy walked out and pulled JC away. I tried not to her, but she said it
loud and I was fairly close.

"Nick just asked me out."

"Oh...and?"

"What do you think dumbass?" she smiled at him.

"You are evil!"

I saw the look on JC's face and he mouthed to me.

I'm sorry.



I mouthed back to him.

Its ok. Plan A will still take action.

We exchanged evil grins.

This was going to be interesting.
