Just take this story as entertainment. Thank you. Janet finally gave up. Howie couldn't be found anywhere. She was about to turn her BMW around and go home when she thought of checking out the hotel. She turned and slowly made her way there. Brian was groggy when we boarded the elevator. Him and Tyler still had no clue what was going on. "Come on, Jamie. What is it," Tyler asked. "And if it's important, shouldn't we wake up Nick," Brian added. Tyler gave him a look. "Apparently he doesn't care what happens. As long as Ryan is here," Tyler chimed. "He loves you, Tyler. I don't know what that is, but I am sure there is an explanation." "Wow, Brian. If you really believe that, he snowballed you more than he did me." "SHUT UP," I yelled. The elevator opened and we stepped out. Brian and Tyler gave each other dirty looks, yet were both worried about what I didn't tell them. We waited for the cab I called, but I remembered I forgot to call. Luckily, Janet pulled up. "Are you guys looking for Howie," she asked. I shook my head no and asked if she could give us a ride. I explained everything to them on our way to AJ. "AJ," Howie spoke. AJ looked up and lunged at Howie. Howie was scared at first, until AJ hugged him. He was crying severely. "AJ, what happened," Howie asked. "Please, hold me," AJ whispered. Sincerely, Howie hugged AJ tightly as police, firefighters, and many other city workers walked around and took care of thing. Ryan was getting sick of waiting for Nick to "wake up and realize what he did." Ryan shook him a little. Then shook him a lot. He wouldn't wake up. He felt his pulse and it was faint to none. "Shit," Ryan yelled as he called 911. Janet's car pulled up. By now, there were nosy people everywhere as the closed down the bridge. Janet, Brian, Tyler and myself looked solemn as we saw Howie holding AJ. "AJ," I walked up to him. He hugged me, then Janet and Tyler. He stared at Brian, who was holding back tears. "Brian," AJ whispered, "help me." Brian and AJ hugged each other and cried while I went to talk to the man I spoke to before. "Hi, are you in charge," I asked a man "Yes, my name is Sergeant Zane. You are." "James Mitchell. We talked earlier on the phone. Do you know what happened," I asked. "He's going to be alright, you have to know that," Brian comforted AJ. Then Brian's cellphone rang. He reluctantly let AJ go and answered it. "Hello." "Brian, this is Ryan." "What do you want," Brian asked fiercely. He listened to Ryan as his face got white. He hung up his cellphone and started to cry hard. "What is it," Janet asked him. "Tyler, you have to come with me to see Nick," Brian demanded with tears. "No, I'd rather stay with AJ than see Nick," Tyler demanded. Brian grabbed Tyler's arm and took him away from AJ. "Fuck," Brian yelled in a heavy whisper, "Ryan is at the hospital. Nick is in a coma. If you love him, or ever did love him you will come with me!" Tyler's felt like every pint of blood drew from his face. He was in shock and horror. Nick. The Nick he loved was in a coma. "How are we going to get there," Tyler whispered. "I'll asked Janet to use her car and then tell Jamie what's going on." "Brian," Tyler asked," how did he get like that?" "I don't know, Tyler," Brian said. They hugged each other for a bit before Brian took Janet over to the side and asked for her car and to tell Jamie about Nick. Then they left. "SHIT," Ryan yelled. How was he going to explain what happened. Nick in a coma due to a drug overdose that he caused. `How the hell was I suppose to know I gave him the wrong stuff,' Ryan thought. He paced around the hospital waiting for the doctors to come out. Hopefully he could bribe the doctor into lying about what's going on with Nick. Then Brian and Tyler came in. "YOU," Tyler yelled as he pounced on Ryan. Brian had to literally drag him off. "What is your problem," Ryan yelled. "What did you do to him, Ryan," Tyler yelled. "Nothing." "Don't lie to me. I don't give a fuck if you a movie star, if you don't tell me I will bash your head in!" "Calm down, kid. I did absolutely nothing." "Did you hate him that much that you wanted to kill him!" "I didn't want to kill him. It was an accident!" Everyone grew quiet. Ryan just admitted what he did. Tyler stared at him in shock, as well as Brian. "What did you do, Ryan," Brian asked him calmly. Ryan started to cry just as the doctor came out. "Which one of you guys are Ryan," the doctor asked. Ryan raised his hand. "Nick has awaken and wants to see you." Tyler's heart sank. He wanted Ryan. Tyler was about to run when Brian stopped him. "When the hell are you going to stop running and face your problems? God, grow up," Brian yelled and sat on the opposite side. I walked over to AJ, Howie and Janet. Janet took Howie over to the side. "Howie, what's going on," she asked. "Nothing." "Howard, you call me, tell me to stop your best friends, wedding, tell him you love him, then I find you almost five hours later hugging AJ. You owe me a big explanation." "Not now. I'll tell you later. Promise." Ryan enters Nick's hospital room. He slowly walks over to the bed. Nick is still asleep. Ryan leans over to kiss him. Nick's eyes fly open as his fist hit Ryan's jaw. "Fuck you," Nick yelled. Ryan felt the blood on his lip. "Nick, I am so sorry. I didn't mean for you to go in a coma." "Well, I have good news for you. I'm out of it. Ryan, can I ask you something? Are you stupid. Did you even realize that once I woke up I'd remember the feeling of a syringe in my arm?" "Nick, I." "Ryan, I am going to ask you this once, before I kill you. LEAVE ME ALONE! I don't ever want to see you or here from you!" "Nick, I'm sorry." "Just because you did "Cruel Intentions" doesn't mean your life has to be based on it." "Nick, I." "Leave, Ryan. Stay away from me." Ryan walks towards the door. "By the way," Nick smiled, "Tyler is so much better than you. He doesn't have to be in `Hollywood,' to be a bigger man than you'll ever be. And I mean that in more ways than one. I never loved you, you were just sex. Tyler is love. Bye." Ryan slammed the door. He walked to the waiting room where Tyler and Brian where. He walked passed Brian and punched Tyler square in the face. "Don't ever kick my nuts again," he yelled as he left. Brian helped him sit down as the doctor told Tyler Nick wanted to see him. Tyler walked in. "Hey, sweetie," Nick smiled. Tyler ran and hugged him. Nick saw he bruise on Tyler's lip. "Are you ok," he asked. "Just a love tap from Ryan," Tyler smiled. "I love you, baby," Nick smiled. "I love you too!" Tyler was going to kiss Nick until his eyes fell back into his sockets. Tyler got scared. "Nick? Nick?" Tyler pressed the emergency call button. "AJ," I asked as I looked at him. It seemed like the life in his eyes were gone. "What," he said, almost as if he was dead. "Can you tell me what happened," I asked him. "No," AJ said. I decided maybe later to talk about it. Janet and Howie approached us. "That was the last thing he said to me," AJ continued. We were all a little shocked. "We were driving, leaving Manhattan. He had a private little inn in New Jersey. We decide to have a mini honeymoon until after the tour. We were driving and laughing until we heard some metal bend. We looked at each other. He yelled to unbuckle the seatbelt and get out. I froze, he did it for me, not realizing his foot was on the gas. We sped up more. Finally, he pushed me out of the car. I saw the back axle snap in half and the jeep fly into the water, with Kevin in it. He yelled `No,' really loud. I went over to wait and see if Kevin got out of the jeep and swam up to the surface. I waited for an hour before someone called the police for me." Janet and I were shocked while Howie ran to Sergeant Zane. Just as he was about to talk, one of the crewmembers yelled, "We found something! We think it's a body!" Ryan did everything he could to stop crying, but he couldn't. He tears were streaming down his face. He walked to Central Park and sat there and cried. Then a woman tapped him on the shoulder. "Is Ryan sad," she said. Before he could look up, she slapped him in the face. "Don't be a god damn baby. You did good." Ryan looked up to see a red-haired woman smiling down at him Theresa smiled. "You've ruined them," she laughed, "when you killed a Backstreet Boy!" "WHAT!!" Apparently, Ryan was shocked. `Did I kill Nick,' Ryan asked himself. `Did I kill Kevin,' Howie thought. Then he started to cry. To Be Continued.. Thank you, again for reading. I hope your enjoying what is developing here.
