"Yeah, I wonder if Nick the meaning of 'order' ?" said Scott seating in a chair near the desk. "So where's this box, Nick ?" asked Brian. "In my desk, second drawer ... the left one." answered Nick The two brothers, Nick and Brian were at Nick's house, in his office. There were boxes, paper and drawing everywhere in the room. Brian have decided to pick some of Nick's affairs for the week at Brian's house. "You must learn to order this room. It's a big mess !" said Brian as he looked for this 'special' box. Nick turned his head towards the floor and sighed. "I'll do it... If one day I can do it..." said Nick sadly. Hearing this words, Brian stopped his search, walked toward Nick, and gave him a big hug. "You'll see Nick... In one week; this nightmare will be over..." he said. "You think ?" asked Nick ,shyly. "I'm sure... Keep the faith, my friend..." said Brian softly. John and Scott looked at the scene in front of them. Nick and Brian in each others arms. Nick's head was on Brian left shoulder and Brian was stroking Nick's back very slowly, eyes closed. An example of pure brotherly love. "They're so pretty..." said John as he smiled. Scott just nodded, stood up from his chair and walked toward the easel which he saw when he entered the room. There was a painting on it, and since Scott love art, he wanted to see it. "I wondered if..." said Scott as he prepared for looking at it. Meanwhile, John was reading Nick's thought. He felt safe and loved in Brian's arms... like always since the two met, seven years ago. Then John felt Nick have a strange sensation... He felt his heart beating rapidly and a shiver of excitement ran down his body. "What's the hell ?..." thought Nick. He immediately broke the hug, then Brian looked at him strangely. "Are you okay, Nick ?" asked Brian, worried. Nick had his mouth open a little, like if he was in shock. Even if it's no use, John hadn't better idea that to shake his hand in front of Nick's bandaged eyes several times. "Nick ? " asked Brian, getting a little scared. Then Nick jumped a little and managed to say : "The box..." turned his head where he thought was his desk. "Oh... yes just a minute..." Brian said looking at him a bit worried, wondering what was going on with him. "I have an idea..." John said looking at Nick with a big grin as Brian made his way toward the desk. "I'm sure that..." "John ! Come here !" said Scott. John looked toward his brother and saw that his brother was staring at something intently. Look like he was amazed. "What's going on, bro ?" asked John as he walked toward Scott. "Look at this..." said Scott, always looking at the painting. John looked at his brother funny, then looked at the picture in front of him. The picture represented a sunset on the ocean on the foreground. On the background, there were the BSB looking towards the ocean. The colors contrast, the gradations, the representation of the light... all were excellent. Even the graphics. It was so real that you would thought that this picture was real. It's was an excellent work... " My god... It's beautiful... I know that Nick was good at drawing, but I didn't know it was the same... for the painting." Said John, impressed. "Me too... Nick is very talented boy..." said Scott as he looked toward Nick who was speaking to Brian, who have a box in his hands. John looked up and saw this then walked quickly toward them. "Don't open it without me !" said John "John ! Are you ashamed ?! You said that you like this picture and now you don't care about it ?" said Scott getting angry. "I want to know what is this box !" said John like a four years old children who wanted a candy. "God ! What a cretin !" grumbled Scott as he rolled his eyes. "Really, Brian, don't open it... I want this box near to me that's all..." said Nick. Brian looked at Nick like he was nut. "You just want this box in order to have company ??" asked Brian, laughing a little. "Whatever... Open it, Brian." Said John, jumping up and down. "No, There is something in it, but... I just want to make sure that I have it near me... It's important to me Brian, but it's also one of my secret... please don't open..." said Nick John looked at Nick then at Brian. Brian was a little surprised but said : "Okay... I promise Nick..." said Brian as he put the box in his bag. "Thanks, buddy." Said Nick Brian looked at the office and the easel at the bottom of the room. He walked toward it and gasped as he saw the picture. "Oh my god!... Nick it's... beautiful... Why did you never showed it to me before?" he asked, amazing by the painting. Nick knew that Brian spoke about his picture. "Um... I wasn't sure... if it were good..." "It's great Nick! I'm very proud of you, you're a great artist!" said Brian, a grin on his face, as Nick started to blush. "I'm sure that the other guys will love it too! I pick it too, 'right ?"said Brian. "'Right." Said Nick. Suddenly, Nick's face was dark, like he was in pain. Brian saw this and immediately walked toward Nick, the picture in his hands. "What happened Nick ? Did I say something wrong ?" asked Brian, worried. "No... I was just wondering... if we must tell the other guys and my family about this ?" "The picture ?" asked Brian "No, what happened to me..." said Nick painfully. Brian put down the painting on a chair and put his hands on Nick shoulders. "This is your choice, Nick..." said Brian softly. Nick paused then shook his head 'no'. "I don't want to tell them... I mean... It's only for a week, doesn't it Bri ?" "Yes, Nick. Only 7 days..." Said Brian. Scott and John read Brian's mind and saw that Brian HOPED that it was only for a week. He hated what happened to his best friend. John looked at the bag and sighed. "I wanted to know..." said John, a little disappointed. "You know that you can't have everything and that you can't influence anything..." said Scott at his brother, smiling. "Yeah, yeah I know..." said John, rolling his eyes. After several seconds of silence, Brian spoke up. "So... I have the picture, the box, your CD player, your SASH! CD... Now we have to take your clothes..." said Brian as he guided Nick toward his room at the first and only floor.. "Interesting... I wondered what underwears Nick use !" said John, content, as he ran toward Nick's room. Scott sighed and whispered as he followed Nick and Brian : "He can't have all he wanted... or nearly..." Brian carefully guide Nick in the stairs, while Scott arrived at the room. He was surprised to see his youngest brother leant over Nick's laundry... without head. "John ??..." said Scott confused. Hearing his brother voice, John moved back and Scott saw his head come out the cupboard. He turn towards Scott, a funny look on his face. "He has very nice clothes... but where are they ?" asked John "In the stairs. They will arrive soon..." started to say Scott before his youngest brother cut him. "No... Where are the underwears ?" asked John. He smiled at Scott's reaction. "You such a little pervert, Jo." He said. "I'm not pervert... You remember Moko? He was wearing very sexy underwears..." said John with a grinned on his face. "It wasn't really HIS underwears, John. Beside, I don't think that Nick is like that." Said Scott "I think so... But I can dream, no?" said John, still smiling. Then the door of the room opened and Nick and Brian entered the room. Brian guided Nick to the bed, went to the laundry and open it. "What I must take Nick ?" asked Brian as he looked at Nick's clothes. "Boxers and pants which tighten on the balls." Said John as he laughed before Scott slapped him on the back of the head. "Just kidding..." whispered John to his brother while rubbing the back of his head. "I don't care Brian. Whatever you take is good..." answered Nick. "'right..." said Brian as he take some clothes. He took four tee-shirts, two pants, six shirt and even if the weather is hot, took one sweat... just in case. Then he walked towards the furniture at 15' in front of Nick's bed and asked Nick. "Where are your... um... underwears... ?" asked Brian, a slight embarrassed. Nick blushed a little too before answered. "First drawer..." John smiled and walked toward Brian who was opening the drawer. Brian took seven boxers and seven pairs of socks... all the way John was looking at them. "Pretty... Nick had good tastes..." he said, smiling. Scott put his left hand on his front and shook his head. "I wondered if he'll change one day..." Brian searched under Nick's bed and took a big suitcase. He put it on Nick's bed, opened it, and started to pull Nick's clothes and underwears in it. John looked at Nick and saw him crawled where Nick thought was Brian and tapped him gently on the arm to get his attention. "Brian ? Can you please give me my CD and my CD player, please ?" asked Nick shyly. "Of course Nick... Wait, I'm coming back." Said Brian as he walked out of the door. "I follow him... You just wait here..." started to say Scott as John started to smile. "... and don't try anything or I'll kick your ass until we know what happen at the group !!" John's smile faded and put his best puppy face. "I'll never do something wrong... I'm not pervert..." said John shyly. Scott just shook his head mumbling sarcasly "Of course!" before walking out the room and went downstairs where was Brian. John looked at Nick and sighed. "Poor Nicky..." Downstairs, Scott met Brian in the hallway who took of his bag Nick's CD player and CD, which he put in before Nick, Scott, John and him went to Nick's office. As he look at the CD, Brian sighed deeply. Scott knew Brian was in deep thought and started to listen to them. "God, I hope Nick will be OK... he doesn't deserve to be blind for the rest of his life..." Brian sighed and closed his eyes. Scott saw that and closed his eyes too to see if Brian have an image in his mind. He was right. Brian was thinking about Nick. He was hugging him. "I'm always there for you Nick..." Then Scott saw Brian kissing Nick on the lips. At this moment Brian went back to reality. "Wait... Why I thought about that ??!! It's crazy !!! No, no, no, no... Calm down Brian, you're just very tired... Yeah... that's it... tired..." said Brian to himself before taking a deep breath. Scott stared at him blankly as Brian made his way toward Nick's room. "I wondered if..." said Scott before sitting on the floor. Then he remembered something... *Flashback* 14th February in 2192 Scott was in chair reading a book which named "Backstreet Boys : My Truly Life 1999-2001" It was a book wrote by his ancestor Kevin from BSB. He wrote on it everything that he remember about his life with the other guys. This book belong to the family since the beginning and nobody, expect them, know that this book exist. It was the last tome of three books and each was represent two years of the group: Tome 1 : 1993-1995 Tome 2 : 1996-1998 Tome 3 : 1999-2001 Scott had a passion for these books. There were everything about BSB on it. Scott had nearly finish them. He slowly turn the last page, exited to see what happened to the group. "The story is end now. I remember how my children asked me to related them a true story. They always wanted a true and funny story about me and my dearly bandmates. But one day, they asked me how my group stopped. I didn't want to tell them. I only said that one day, they'll know the answer. It was a painful memory and even in this book, I'm not going to say what happen. You know, one day, you too will know the answer. It's hidden in my family. I don't know if you'll understand it if you're young... I only want you to know it if you're an adult. Asked one person of the family then you know it... The group is in many memories now and many people don't know the true ending of the group. It's only a barely true ending that they know. I know that when the other two bandmates and me will die, we'll all be together again. I don't know why it came that way... Maybe... the fate... Much love to all my family and to all my future descendants, Kevin Scott Richardson." Scott closed the book, amazed by the words of the final page. "It's so strange..." The true end of the group wasn't mentioned in his ancestor book and his family said that he and his brother were not older enough to understand it. "But it said I'll know one day... When will be this day ?" said Scott to himself. Scott walk towards the window of the room and looked at the sight before him. Since the family's library was on the 54th level, he have a good vision of Orlando. Nothing that amazed him. The red-orange sky, the city with his high building, the cars flying in many directions, and the spaceships which come from the space or left the Earth for the others planets of Earthly Empire. "I'll know one day..." sighed Scott. Then he heard somebody behind him, he turned and saw his twelve years old brother, John, with Pikachu on his right shoulder. Scott smiled as he remembered the day his grandfather had created this pet for his 10th anniversary. He said that a long time ago, it was really like by young children. "Pikachu." Said the pet as he blinked. "Scott, mummy said that we must go to 'the' cemetery." said John. "OK... Let's go..." said Scott as they exited the room. As they walked, Scott was in deep thought. "I hope that one day, I know too why we must go there every year." *end of flashback* Scott was still sitting on the floor, in deep thought. "I remember that when I was fifteen, mom told me that it was one of my ancestor wish. But now it's not enough... I want more..." he thought. He then started to frown. "What did he mean by 'the other two bandmates' ?" "EARTH TO SCOTT !!! COME ON BRO !!!" screamed John Scott jumped and stood up, confused. "Wha... What ??!!" "I said that we're leaving, bro. Look Nick and Brian are ready to go!" said John, pointing at Nick and Brian, who were in Brian's car. "Shit ! Quick ! Let's go !" said Scott as he and John ran toward the car. Luckily, they just get into it when Brian started to turn it on. "Here we go, Nick..." said Brian softly as he started to drive towards his house. Nick just listened his CD, his CD player on 'random' mode. Scott and John just waited to be at Brian's house. They sat there in silence for a few minutes before John looked at his brother and said : "What were you thinking about ?" "hum...?" said Scott, a slight confused. "When you were in the hallway, you were in deep though..." "Ah, yes... hum... I was thinking about something..." answered Scott "And..." said John, smiling. He wasn't going to give up. "I think I have an answer, well an hypothesis, about the end of the group." "Really ? Which one ?" asked John, smiling. "Well... when I was in the hall with Brian, he was in deep thought. When I closed my eyes, I saw him hugging Nick..." said Scott "Well ?" said John "One minute... Then he thought 'I'm always there for you, Nick'... " "Ooooh.... It's so sweet..." said John, a big grin on his face. "But after... well he.... I.... I saw him kissing Nick..." said Scott before John cut him one more time. "Really ?! Kissing ?! Oh my god! I knew it! Nick and Brian together.... What a cute picture!" said John, grinning and laughing. Yet, Scott had still a blank expression on his face. "Cute... but only for you... maybe not for the others..." said Scott. Hearing Scott's words and seeing his face, John immediately stop laughing. "What do you mean ?" said John, slight worried. "Well... in our ancestor book... in the last page, Kevin had wrote 'my two others bandmates' which it's must mean that the BSB were only three at a time..." said Scott "I'm not sure about what you're trying to say, bro..." said John as he frowned. "Try to understand, John... If Nick and Brian become a couple, maybe Kevin and the other will kick them out of the group because they will hate them..." started to say Scott before John cut him again. "What ?! What are you saying ?! You think that Kevin, OUR KEVIN, will do a such thing with AJ and Howie ?! It's impossible ! They love them ! They're all like brothers, you know it !It's unfucking possible ! If Nick and Brian become a couple, they will be okay, I know it !!!" yelled John, getting angry. "Control yourself ! It's only a hypothesis ! But it's not impossible ! If I'm right, the BSB will be three which is not accept by the fans, then the group will crash... And remember that homosexuality is hardly accept in this time unlike our time..." said Scott, getting angry too. "Well you're wrong! I know that they'll not reject them! So if you want to say anything like 'They don't like gay people' or 'They will hate them' and yadi yada, keep that in mind." Said John sarcasly, before he turned toward the window, crossed his arms and completely ignored his brother. Scott looked at his brother and sighed. John strongly support all people who are gay or bisexual like him and it's pissing him off when someone don't accept people who aren't straight. Scott had said a wrong thing, and he know it. "I have to cheer him up..." said Scott his chin on his left hand. He then smile as he found how. "Well, I don't know if Nick and Brian will be a couple but as I saw what happen to them, it's going to be interesting..." said Scott John's head turned toward, wondering himself what Scott meaned. "Maybe they will kissing each other or even slept together... which give you a free porno gay scene..." said Scott looking at John. John tried hard not to smile but it was unsuccessful. "I hope so ! I can't want for that !!" said John, a smile on his face. "He's too easy to make smile... what an idiot !" thought Scott as he laughed a little. A few minutes later, they arrived at Brian's house. While Brian was helping Nick and pick up his affairs, Scott and John walked quickly in the house. "A ton avis, where are the guess room ?" asked Scott "It must be beside Brian's room" said John as they monte the stairs. Shortly after, they entered in a room. It was a big room, decored in blue. There were a bed , some furnitures, a tv, a balcony and a bathroom in it. "Standart style." Said John. "Yeah, but I wondered how Nick is going to use the bathroom... I mean, he's blind so..." said Scott but was stopped by John. "I'm sure that Brian will help him... I don't know how, but..." said John as he started to smile. "Do you always have some perverted ideas?" asked Scott. Before John could replied, Nick and Brian entered the room. The two brothers just watched as Brian put Nick's affairs. "I'm going to make some food... Stay here I'm going to catch you later, 'right?" said Brian as he excited the room. "'kay." Said Nick as he plopped down on the bed. "Come on, we followed him." Said Scott. "Great idea. I wondered what kind of food they have?" asked John to himself as he followed his brother in the kitchen. Well, Brain just make some macaroni and cheese with a steak which not surprised Scott and John. After he finish his cook, they excited and gasped as they saw Nick tried to came down toward the kitchen. "Nick! Wait! I'll help you!" said Brian as he started to walked toward the stairs. "No Bri! Let me do this! I'm sure I can do this..." said Nick as he continued his descent. "But..." said Brian before he was cut by Nick. "No Brian! Let me do this!" said Nick. Brian, as well as Scott and John, nervously looked at Nick. Suddenly, as there were only a few step, Nick lost his balance and was about to fall. Brian ran toward Nick wich cause Nick to fall on him, which caused the two to fall on the floor. Scott and John looked eyes widened as Nick lay on top of Brian, the two of them breathing heavely. " You okay, Bri ?" said Nick still on top. Brian just nodded as he starred at Nick. "And you, Nicky ?..." asked Brian in a whisper. Nick nodded but don't move. John approached Nick and saw that Nick felt something wrong. He immediately got up and pulled Brian on his feet. "I need to go to the bathroom..." said Nick shyly. Brian guided Nick toward the room and then wait for him at the bottom of the stairs. "That was close!" sighed Scott in relief as he starred at Brian. Brian looked at his crotch and saw something strange. There was a big bulge and Scott immediately know that he was hard. "What's the hell ?..." wishpered Brian surprised, as he starred at it. "It was Nick ? Na, it's impossible..." "Well, who know ?" said Scott "I supposed you have an idea, John?" No answers. "John ?" said Scott as he looked around him. No John. "But where is..." started to say Scott but immediately remember one thing... Nick was in the bathroom, which meaned... "I'm going to kill him !" said Scott a little upset. Meanwhile, Nick was seating on the pan, butt naked, his hand around his manhood. He was full erected. John was there too. "I know it..." thought John truly happy as he starred at Nick. "What happened? How can this be possible? It can't be Brian !... What happened to me ?... I hope Brian had felt nothing..." said Nick to himself. "Well, whatever it is, I must do something..." said Nick as he put his left hand just under the head of his cook and then he started to move his hand up and down his cock. "John !"screamed Scott from outside. John jumped a little at his brother's sound and turn around. He then turn his head toward Nick and closed his eyes. Nick was thinking at a naked girl, but feel that it wasn't help his problem. "Shit! What happened to me? Normally, it would work..." "Think about a naked Brian..." said John grinning. Then, without wanting it, Nick thought about two seconds at Brian naked. At his surprise, he felt a big pleasure and started to cum like crazy in his left hand which cause him to moaned loudly. "Hey John what happened ?!" asked Scott confused, after he heard the moan. "Nick had fantasies on Brian." Said John, grinning. Nick searched for the lavabo, cleaned his hands, and pulled his boxers and pants on. "My god... but what happened ???" said Nick, very confused, as if he was about to cry. "Nick you're okay?" said Brian from behind the door. "Hum... yeah Brian, I'm fine..." replied Nick as he reached for the door, open it and step out the bathroom. "I wondered if he heard me ?" thought Nick to himself. "Look like it's not the case... Too bad..." said John. In the few hours after, Nick and Brian just talk at each other while John and Scott were just talking to each other about these two best friends. "So, that's why Nick and Brian will be a couple..." said John. "I don't know if it's possible... well it's not impossible, too. Because they started to have fantasies about men which not mean that they're gay..." "Remember me, bro. I have started to have fantasies about men and it's how I found myself bi." Said john smiling. "'right but we must be careful, and not jump too soon into conclusion..." "Like you did in the car..." said John with a frown. "Alright, I'm sorry but you must admit that it isn't impossible." Said Scott softly. "Yeah, that's right..." sighed John "Yet ,I hope it's wrong..." While they were talking, they didn't see Nick and Brian left the room. They talk during one hour before, they finally saw the absents. "Oh oh... Where are they?" said John as he quickly walked toward the stairs with his brother. They entered in Nick's room and saw light the bathroom. They walked in it and saw Nick taking a bath. "It's more prudent then the shower. He could have soak his bandages..." said Scott as they excited the room. "Brian really help him with everything." "Yeah, he's a sweetheart... I hope I'll have a girlfriend or boyfriend like that one day..." said Scott as he sighed happily. They exited Nick's room and walked in Brian's room and saw him sit on his bed with only boxers on. His hair was humid which meant that he just took a shower a few moment ago. He then walked towards his room, and entired Nick's room, all the way with the two brothers, just in time to see Nick walked out the bathroom his boxers on, trying to find his way. "Wait, Nick. I'll help you." Said Brian as he walked toward Nick. "No, Bri. I must found the bed myself." Said Nick as he walked in the room He soon found the bed and crawled in it. All the way, Brian was looking at him. When Nick was finally in the bed, Brian walked toward him and sat on his knees, facing Nick face. "You want something, Nicky?" asked Brian softly as he ran a hand in Nick's hair. Nick smiled a little at Brian's touch and just answered: "No, thanks, Bri. I'll be fine." "Ok. Good night, Nick." "'Night, Brian." Said Nick, as he closed his eyes and very soon fall asleep. Brian stay here to look at Nick for a moment. Then he leaned down and kissed softly Nick on his left cheek. Brian wasn't sure why he was doing this but didn't really care. Then he get up, switched off the lights and walked in his room. Still in Nick's room, John and Scott was looking at Nick who was sleeping peacefully. "I told you, bro... I told you..." said John, smiling. "I know, I know... Well we must go to sleep, now." Said Scott as he look at the big couch. "Yeah, you're right... I'm quite tired" said John as he yawned. They walked toward the couch, laid on it, and fall asleep several minutes later. Later that night, they waked up straight as the heard Nick's scream. "HELP ME ! NOOOO! DON'T LET ME ! PLEASE NOOOO ! BRIAN ! BRIIIIAAAAN !" screamed Nick rocking back and forth on the bed. He wasn't crying but was screaming like he was terrified. As they got up, Scott and John saw the door burst open and Brian running at Nick's side. "Nick ! Calm down ! I'm here, wake up !!" he said as he try to steady Nick. Nick stop moving, left his right hand and slowly caressed Brian's face. "Brian... It's you ?..." he asked softly. Brian pick Nick up in his arms and hugged him softly. "I'm here, Nick, I'm here... You had a nightmare, that's all..." he said softly to Nick. "My god... I dreamt that everyone abandoned me... even you... don't leave me Brian." Said Nick, still shaking a little, as he tightly hugged Brian. "Don't worry, Nicky... I'll never leave you, I'll stay with you... always..." said Brian as he laid Nick back in his bed. "Please... sleep with me, Bri..." said Nick, shyly. Brian looked at him and nodded. He crawled into the bed and laid beside Nick, facing him. "Please... Can you... hold me, Frick?" asked Nick John and Scott could tell that he was very afraid to be alone. "He can't refuse..." said John. "Of course, Nick..." said Brian softly. He pulled Nick close to him, put his arms around him and slowly cuddled Nick's back. Nick shuddered at his touch but thought that he was only getting a little cold. "Thanks Brian..." whispered Nick. "Anytime, Nick, anytime..." whispered Brian as he closed his eyes. Scott and John were still watching the scene in front of them. Soon, they saw that Brian stopped cuddled Nick's back which meant that he had fall asleep. Nick felt that. He raised his head and slowly kiss Brian's forehead. The two brothers could tell, as they read his thought, that he was confused about Brian. He didn't know why he was excited by him and the other sensations when he's with him. "I'll fix that later... Good Night, Frick..." thought Nick. He then fell asleep a few moment later. John and Scott looked at each other. Neither of them knew what to say. "It's... ah... strange... no?" asked Scott, a little confused. "Not really..." said John as he looked at Nick and Brian asleep. "I think that we'll know something soon." "What exactly?" asked Scott. "I don't really know... who know?" said John as he rubbed the back of his head. "Well... we must sleep know... we'll fix everything tomorrow or later..." said Scott. John nodded and the two brother go back to the couch and fall asleep quickly. Well, the week is gone quickly, and every days were the same for Nick and Brian. Brian hadn't slept with Nick the other days, since Nick wasn't afraid anymore. This last didn't have many things to do during seven days. If he wasn't trying to spot as many places as he could, he was sleeping, singing or talking with Brian. He didn't went out during this week. Brian didn't want somebody to know about Nick. He was doing everything for him like feed him and other stuffs. During this week, Nick had found himself more and more attracted to his best friend which really afraid him. Yet he didn't know it was the same for Brian. Neither of them talk about that even if they wanted to. They were too afraid about each others reactions. Brian was trying everything to understand what happened to him. Does he really like Nick ? Or it is only some very strong friendship? "No, I don't think so." Said John. "We really don't know John. Maybe it's only that..." said Scott "But no! They're REALLY attracted to each other. I know what I say... I'm bi, you're not, so I know that better than you." Said John "Well, alright" said Scott as he rolled his eyes "You know better this situation then me... We'll saw what happen later..." John and Scott were in the back of Brian's car. Today was the day. Today, they'll know if Nick will be blind or not. "My god... I can't wait !!!" said John, jumping on his seat, like a five years old. "John, calm down. You're making me nervous..." said Scott. Five minutes later, they were finally at the hospital. Brian help Nick to go out off the car and walked with him and the two brothers in the hospital. "Well, today is the day..." said the doctor to Nick. He then turned with Brian. "You'll wait outside... I'll call you when it's finish..." Brian nodded, looked at Nick and hugged him tightly before he went outside. "Go with him... I call you when..." said Scott before John cut him. "Hey ! No way ! I want to stay with Nick ! It's always me who stay with him !" he said, not content. "But..." "Please..." said John with puppy eyes. "Okay, okay... I go with Brian." Said Scott sarcastly.
