Chapter 18

After a few moments, the three other Backstreet Boys where relieved that Kevin wasn’t shaking as much as he had been. Kevin slowly pulled away from his friends and looked at them for a second with tears in his eyes, then he quickly looked down at the floor ashamed.

“I’m sorry about that guys” he softly whispered. He then felt a hand rest on his shoulder he looked up to discover that the hand belong to Howie whose eyes were filled with concern and sympathy.

“Kev, there is nothing to be sorry about. It is better to let your feelings out than keep them in. Just remember if you ever need a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to we are all here for ya. Just remember that.”

“Thanks Howie. I don’t know what I would do without you guys. I guess we should be heading to the hospital.” said Kevin as he slowly rose to his feet.

The three other members followed his example, slowly rising to their feet and solemnly walking towards the parking lot. They then decided that they would ride to the hospital together and climbed into Brian’s rental jeep which was large enough to hold them all. Without a word said between them, they left the parking lot heading towards the place where their friend laid hovering between life and death.
