Chapter 3 - Never Or Forever

Brooke wiped away her tears and went inside. She paid a man at the desk to stay one night. She had no idea where she would be going next.

She went up to her room and threw herself onto the bed and cried herself to sleep.

~*~*~The Next Day~*~*~

Brooke checked out of the hotel and walked out the door. The sun hit her like a bolt of lightning. It was so bright. She looked around.S he had no idea where she was going to go now. She was trying to decide when this car pulled up by her, almost running her over. She gasped in horror when she seen who was getting out of the car. Steve. She was so scared she couldn't even move.

He grabbed her and tried to shove her inside his car when they both heard, "Let her go." They looked up. Brian was standing there, a firm look on his face.

"Excuse me?", said Steve, "You mean you want me to let my girlfriend leave with you?"

"I'm not your-" Steve slapped her across the face and said "Shut up!"

Brian stepped forward. "Don't you touch her again!" He demanded. Steve grabbed Brooke and put his arm around her neck. He pulled a hand gun from his pocket.

"I don't think you should be telling me what to do at this moment." He said, slowly putting the gun to Brooke's head.

He cocked the gun.

Brooke closed her eyes.

"No!" Brian yelled, as he leaped towards Steve, knocking him down and making him shoot the gun into the air. Brian took it out of his hands and threw it.

Steve tried to get up, but Brian started to beat the crap out of him. Someone nearby called the cops and a few people tried to get Brian off of Steve, but he was determined to pay him back for everything he has done to Brooke, so he fought harder.

A few minutes later the cops showed up and pulled Brian off of Steve. They were about to put handcuffs on him when Brooke went over and explained to them everything that happened.

The cops decided to let Brian go, but they also let Steve go to. That's what made Brian furious. Steve was probably paying them to keep him out of jail.

Steve got into his car and drove away. When he left, Brian just stood there looking at Brooke.

"I'm so sorry, Brian." She said, crying. He put his arms around her and hugged her. "It's ok, sweetie. Just don't ever leave me like that again. Do you realize how scared I was when I woke up and seen you wasn't there? I was scared to death." He kissed her on the forehead. "Now we better be going." They got into Brian's white Expedition and started driving.

"Where did you come from?" Brooke asked Brian.

"New York", Brian said,as he put his oakley's on. Brooke thought they looked so cute on him.

"I missed a taping of BSB on MTV to come out here and look for you." He said.

"How did the other guys tell the whole world you weren't coming because you were out looking for a girl?" Brooke asked.

Brian laughed. "The guys told them I was busy and I couldn't make it. The fans will understand. Besides, as long as Nick is there, they'll be happy." He smiled at Brooke and she smiled back. She was so happy. Everything seemed right with Brian. It was almost too good to believe. Almost.

~*~*~A Few Minutes Later~*~*~

"So where are we going anyway?" Brooke asked.

"The airport."

Brooke widened her eyes. "What? You mean to fly?"

Brian nodded. "Yeah. Why? You have never flown before?"

Brooke quickly shook her head. "No, and I am scared to."

Brian parked the truck at the entrance of the airport. He looked over at Brooke.

"You know what? We don't have to go today. But remember, you are going to have to fly with me one day."

Brooke smiled."Thanks, Brian."

They pulled out of the parking lot and drove to Brian's house.
