Chance and Brian Chap 19

Ok everyone I never thought that this story would be going to chapter
ninteen much less a chapter 5.. I cannot believe that this has gone on this
long.  I want to thank everyone who has written me and stuck with the
story..  even if I get no email regarding the story.

I especially want to thank Paula who constantly harasses me to write more..
I love you PUPU..  you are the reason that I write this..  if it wasnt for
you I probably would have ended it a long time ago.

Again to everyone that has written me about the story..  thank you..  its
always wonderful for writers to get feedback that is good or bad..  you
have to understand that it makes us want to write more..

and for the fun part....


Disclaimer..

I do not know any of the BSB....I do not know if they are gay or not..  and
I really dont care..  this story is a fun fictional fantasy story...  so
please take it as such..  If your to young to read this then dont..  if
your in a state that doesnt allow this kind of material then dont read it..

Ok on to the story..



Chapter 19 ***************************************************

Nate started crying.. I hugged him close and said "Pooh sweetie, we will
see your dad in a little while.. and then I will take you home ok.. we can
stay at your house tonight.. if thats ok with your grandma.." I looked over
at Mary for approval.. "Of course you can Brian.. your all welcome to stay
if you would like." She said. Kevin spoke up then and said "I dont think
thats necessary Mary but thank you for the invitation, the rest of us will
be ok at the hotel, were use to them."

Mary smiled at Kevin and said "Ok Kevin, but its up to you guys."

"Mary would it be ok if we rode back to the house with you?"

"Of course it is Brian.. I can bring you back tomorrow also.. if you like."

"Thanks but I dont want to put you out." thats when she cut me off and said
"Brian you will not be putting me out as you say.. since I will be coming
to see Chance anyway."

"Thank you Mary I appreciate that."

"Its not a problem Brian.. your part of the family now.. so get use to me
doing things for you as I do for Chance, I love it that I will have another
man around the house."

"Thanks Mary I cannot tell you how happy that makes me feel.. I can tell
that we will be good friends."


"So can I Brian so can I." she said smiling.

I hugged Nate to my chest and said.. "Pooh.. the mighty warrior of
evil.. dont you think its about time that we go use the restroom before we
go see your dad?" he looked up and into my eyes and shyly said "But poppa I
dont got to go.." I started laughing and said "Sweetie its I dont have to
go.. not I dont got to go." he shrugged his shoulders and said "Well I aint
gotta pee." We all were laughing I said "Well I have too.. so why dont you
either go over to Grandma or Nick so I can go use the restroom." I put Nate
down.. he walked straight over to Nick and said "You aint gotta pee do ya?"
Nick started laughing and said "No Nate im fine thanks."  Nate looked him
in the eye and said "good cause I dont wanna move again."

I went into the restroom and did my business walked up to the sink and
washed my hands..  I looked into the mirror and realized I looked like
shit..  sorry but thats the truth..  I had dark lines under my eyes and
they were all puffy..  I looked like I hadnt slept in two days.. which was
true I hadnt.  I proceeded to wash my face and tried to straighten out my
clothes and do something with my hair..  but gave up on that after about 5
minutes.  I walked out to hear Nate laughing so hard..  I figured that
someone probably Nick was tickling him..  I walked into the room and
focused on Nate and realized I was totally wrong..  it was Mary who was
tickling Nate not Nick..  I watched on as Mary laughed just as hard as
Nate..  I realized where Chance got his sense of humor from..  a lot of it
had come from Mary ...  I continued to watch until Mary became either tired
or bored and got up and sat back down on the couch..  I walked over and sat
next to her and smiled.  she looked over and smiled and said "Whats so
funny Mr Littrell?"  I smiled back and said "Nothing..  I just realized why
Chance loves you so much, and why your such an important part of his life..
you both are so much alike."

"Yes we are Brian..  always have been, and Im sure always will be."

*****************************************

Chances point of view


Groggily I tried to sit up..  when I heard someone say " Chance.. just stay
where you are. your fine..  youve just gotten out of surgery and now your
in recovery."

I yelled " Wheres Nate!!!  Wheres my son."

I heard "Hes downstairs with everyone else..  they are waiting to see
you. You will be out of recovery in about 15 minutes and put in a private
room, they will be able to see you then. But in the mean time how is your
pain?  did you need more pain killers?"

"No I am fine..  could I have something to drink though, my throat hurts."

You sure can.. I will get you some ice chips..  and when they get you back
in your room they will get you some liquids to drink."

"Ok thank you." I said not caring what they did as long as I got to see
Nate and my family..  I figured mom was here as well as everyone else. I
shut my eyes and drifted back to sleep within seconds.. I woke as they were
moving me from recovery to my room. I looked up and saw Angel walking at
the end of the gurney and said "Can we make a stop at Nordstroms on the
way?"  He started laughing and said "Only if you pay."

"Pay???  Damn first I get beat up then I get shot..  what more can happen..
WAIT STOP!!  dont answer that...  I dont want to know.. " I held up my
hand.. "Please dont answer that ..  please.."

laughing he said "Im not going to Chance but I think we need to talk really
quick once your in your room."

I lifted my head and looked at him questioning and said "Ok.. if thats what
you think" I had lots of things running through my head..  wondering what
he needed to talk to me about..  I wandered if he could sense what I was
feeling and thinking..  I wondered if he knew how I felt......  I looked at
him again and he just shook his head yes..  I laid my head back down and
silently cursed at my self..  for even thinking the things I was thinking..

He walked so that he was at the side of the bed and said "Chance what your
feeling is normal..  your scared..  youve had a lot of bad things happen
lately..  but its just that .. bad things happen..  its no ones fault..  it
just happens.."

I know that , but why do I feel so bad then..  why am I thinking these
things?"

"Chance thats only for you to figure out..  first of all you have to be
able to say what your feeling..  at this point you arnt even able to say
what and how you feel."

I looked at him "Can we save this for the room, I dont think its
appropriate for everyone to know my business, good or bad."

"No problem" was all he said

They rolled me into the room and put me in the bed so that I was half
sitting up on the bed..  they brought me in some juice.. Cranberry..  YUK..
so I said "Can I have another kind of juice please..  I do not like
cranberry."  the nurse walked up and said "You sure can sweetie what would
you like?"

How about Apple or Orange."

"Will do.. I will be back in a few minutes."  she turned and left the room
only leaving Angel and myself..  I looked at Angel and said "Ok I guess I
need to come clean dont I"

"Yes you do Chance.. You need to figure out what your going to do without
hurting yourself and everyone else" He walked over and sat in the chair
waiting for me to begin.

Well...  I ....  Damn..  why is life so hard..  why did all this have to
happen..  I dont want be hurt anymore I want my life to be a little easier
for once..  I have found Brian and now..  im scared..  I......"  the tears
starting streaming down my face..  I looked up at Angel and said " I will
not be hurt anymore..  I will not let this continue to happen and be ok
with it..  I ...  I ....  think the best thing for me and Nate.. is that if
I break up with Brian.."

"And what makes you think that is the best thing to do?"

"Because if its ended now..  then Brian can find someone to love him..  and
that person will have no fear of being around him....  I cant "..  sobbing
I added..  "I cant do this..  I have my son to take care of."

"Chance.... do you want this.. do you want to break it off with Brian?"

"NO"...I said rather loudly..  "I love him with all my heart..  he is what
I want..  hes such an important part of my life..  but....  I also have my
son to think of..  and if im in the hospital all the time from getting beat
up and being shot..  im not going to be doing him any good. this is not
whats best for me..  its whats best for my family.."

"Isnt Brian part of your family now?"  Angel stood up and walked over to me
and added "So what are you going to do?"

I continued to cry and whispered " I'm going to break it off with Brian."

I heard a gasp form the door and whipped my head around to see Brian
standing at the door.  My heart sank..  and my mind raced with..  how much
did he hear..  how long has he been standing there..  I started crying
harder when I saw the first tear leave his eye..  Angel walked over to the
door and directed Brian in the room and over to the chair..  and said
"Brian why dont you sit down, I think you guys need to talk."  Brian sat
down and leaned over and placed his head in his hands.. and sobbed..

Angel walked over to me and said "Sometimes the hardest thing to do is what
you consider the wrong thing, you both love each other..  and love shall
over come all."  He turned and walked over and out of the room shutting the
door behind him.

There was silence in the room except for my sniffling and Brians sobs..  I
wanted so badly to get up and out of bed to give Brian a hug..  it was
killing me to hear him cry.. I couldnt stand it any longer..  "Brian..." I
got no response..  "Brian Please..  Please talk to me.. we need to talk
about this..  Im sorry..  I truly am.."

He lifted his head.. "Your sorry..  so am I Chance.. Im sorry that I ever
got you involved with this.  Im sorry that you were hurt at all.. Im sorry
that I wasnt the one shot instead of you..  Im sorry..  that your laying in
that bed instead of me..  I wish none of this ever happened.!! "

I looked at him shocked and said.. "Is that really how you feel Brian..  Do
you really feel that way..  that none of this would have happened..  that
we would have never happend.!!!!  I yelled "Is that what your saying, is
that truly how you feel.?."

He sunk lower in the chair and whispered "Maybe that would have been best."

Well Brian maybe you are right..  maybe it would have..  but you know
what.. I will never feel that way..  I love you..  I have never loved
anyone like this in my life..  and Im sorry you feel that we are a
mistake..  Brian I was scared of being hurt again..  I was scared of what
could happen.. but you know what I dont think I have to worry about that
anymore..  Im not scared anymore..  and for being hurt..  YOU couldnt hurt
me anymore than you just did..  I think its best if you were to leave
Mr. Littrell." I reached over and pressed the nurses button..  Angel came
walking in with a frown on his face..  I looked at him and said "Mr
Littrell has made it very clear how he feels..  and hes leaving.."  I
looked over at Brian and said "Bye Brian..  No matter what you think.. I
have and always will love you."

Brian looked at me with panic on his face..  "Chance I never said we were a
mistake.. and that I didnt love you..  I said Im sorry I got you involved
with this crazy life..  and that it wasnt me that was hurt instead of you..
God please dont do this..  please dont ...  I love you..  you know that..
What I meant was that maybe it would have been best for you if you werent
involved with me..  That doesnt mean I dont love you with all my heart..
you know how I feel about you.. you know my life would go back to being
nothing if you werent in it.....  please Chance dont do this to me.... to
us..  Please dont..."  He pleaded..  He walked up to the side of the bed
and took my hand that had the ring on it and said..  "If I didnt love you
.. or if I felt the way you say I feel..  I wouldnt have given you this
ring..  I wouldnt have asked you to marry me..  Chance.. you are the one
that I want to be with for the rest of my life..  I have never and will
never feel the way that you think..  I love you more than I could ever say
or show you..  please dont do this." he begged.

I looked into his eyes and said "Brian I understand what you are saying..
and I appreciate that, but for now could you please just give me some time
to think..  I would really like to be alone"

"Chance if thats what you want..  but you need to answer me one thing.."

"Anything Brian you know that."

"Can you honestly say you dont want to be with me?"

I sat back and closed my eyes and thought about what he just asked.  I
loved him more than anything in my life.. except Nate that is..  and
thought..  can I see myself without Brian..  waking up next to him..
smelling his scent..  feeling his body pressed to mine...  can I live
without him telling me how much he loves me..  and how much he would do
anything for me...  truly ..  I do not want to live without Brian..  but I
dont want to be in pain and I dont want Brian in pain either..

"Brian.....  I....  Ummm..."

"Please just tell me Chance..  you need to figure this out..  If you dont
want to be with me..  then all you have to do is say so and I will be
gone."

"Brian..  I want to be with you..  I want us to be forever..  but im
scared.......  Im scared of going out in public with you..  Im scared of
getting hurt..  I dont want to get hurt anymore, cant you understand that!"

"Of course I can..  look at what you have been through.. we will make sure
to have more security around us.. Ive already talked to Kevin and the Firm
and we are going to hire security for each of us.. so this wont happen
again.. God Chance if it means losing you over BSB..  I will choose you.
BSB will probably be over in a few years anyway. I choose you Chance..  but
do you choose me.????

I answered him with "No..  Brian I dont..  Im sorry but I dont.."
