"This sucks!" AJ shouted as he left the hospital with his friends.
"Calm down, Bone, " Brian said slowly. "Screaming won't change anything."
Howie took a seat on the bench beside him. "What happens now? Nick's too sick to perform."
"The show must go on," Kevin quoted taking a seat. "We''ll just have to go on without him."
"And what happens to Nick?" Brian asked.
Kevin shrugged. "I guess, he just goes back home until he gets better."
"He won't stay with his mom," Howie stated, "we all know that."
"He's a big boy, he can take care of himself," AJ added.
Brian scratched his head. "Maybe we could sing some of our old songs, and Aaron could take his place."
"No, Aaron has his own tour that just ended. It would be hell for him to learn all new material after that."
"Then what are we gonna' do?" his cousin wondered.
Kevin took a deep breath. "We're
going to learn four-part harmony."
