Chapter 13
*The next morning*
"Hey bro! What's up?" Brian said to Nick. They met in the elevator while they were going downstair. They had an interview on tv that morning and only Stacey was going, to make her job done. The other girls wanted to sleep because they were all exhauted from the concert.
"Nothing!" Nick answered. "What about you?"
"Nothing much! I loved that concert last night..it was like..magic!"
"Yeah I know! It was pretty weird. I never felt like this. It's like if everything went right for the first time!" Nick said thinking about last night concert.
"Yep! It was great! So tell me, what's up with you and Rachel?" Brian asked.
"Well... actually... nothing new! I mean, we go out together but that's it!"
"You didn't have sex yet?" Brian asked. Well, it souds a little more like a fact and not really a question.
"How do you know that?" Nick asked surprised. He never knew why Brian always knew everything about him like this.
"I'm just asking... " Brian said smiling. "So you didn't have sex yet!"
"No..." Nick said a little shy.
"Why do you look so shy? it's alright you didn't do it yet... if she's not ready, the right thing for you is to wait..."
"Oh she's ready..."
"So ... what's wrong then?" Brian asked a little confused. It was the first time Nick looked so unconfortable to talk about his relationship.
"I don't know... I really don't know why!! It's like if... I knew something was going to go wrong... " he said feeling suddently better to let this out. "I feel this since a few days... well since that night we almost did it...and you know what? I stopped her!!!" he added as they left the elevator and walked to the lobby.
"You did?" Brian said proud of his friend. "You know what? I think that's great... you care for her and you don't want to hurt her!"
"Yeah I know that.... but how comes I feel that way!?!? Why do I feel like something is gonna go wrong?"
"Well maybe... you're just not ready to move on... I mean, on the 'sex life'" Brian said staring at Nick.
"I don't think so..."
"Listen, I know what is this feeling because I lived it too! Why do you think it was that long to be official with Amber? It's weird to think about making love with someone when you've been with another girl for so much time! It was the same thing when Leigh and I broke up... when I was with Amber, I was liking her company and everthing but at night, I was thinking about her and I couldn't imagine us have sex. It was too weird you know!" Brian said happy to say that. He knew that was Nick's feeling right now and he was happy he could help him a little.
Nick thought about it for a moment and then smiled at Brian. "I think you're right... I mean...I got over Mandy, I'm sure about that. Rachel is so different and that's why I like her... but... maybe we're just not ready to have sex yet... and I think I want to see if we're really going somewhere...I don't want to hurt her and to make her sad"
"That's nice of you Nick! She'd probably be happy to hear that you care that much about her... " Brian said patting Nick in the back.
"Who would be happy?" Aj said as he joined the 2 others followed by Howie.
"My girlfriend!" Nick shouted smiling.
"Oh yeah... wich one? Rachel or Naomie???" Aj asked teasing Nick.
"Naomie??? Nothing is going on with her! Why do you say that??" he asked surprised.
"Well, she said she was the one who keeps you up all night... " Aj said doing mysterious eyes.
"We only talked! I thought she was mad at me because she was never talking to me so... I asked her and we talked a lot ...that's why... nothing's going on with her!" Nick said seriously.
"Alright Alright!! So what's going on with Kevin we're always waiting for him!!!" Aj shouted.
"Waiting for who?" Stacey said entering in the lobby with Kevin.
"No one! Why are you always late Kev?" Howie asked.
"Sorry guys! It was my fault! I wanted to buy a magazine and he waited for me!" Stacey said to apologize.
"It's ok! But let's go now or we'll be late!" Brian said as they left to go on the bus.
*In the bus*
"So what are they saying in this magazine?" Kevin said sitting next to Stacey.
"Actually nothing int.."
"What's wrong!?!?" Kevin asked when he saw her stopped.
"You should read it yourself..." Stacey said with a worry look while she hold out the magazine.
"Don't look at me like that... that's freaking me..." he said giggling. But he stopped suddently when he looked at the article and the picture in the magazine. "What is this shit???" he yelled angrily.
"Hey what's wrong cuz????" Brian said worried when he saw his cousin's face.
"Look yourself!!" he shouted as he throw the magazine to him and walked away to his bunk.
"Damnit!" Brian exclamed.
"Are you gonna tell us??" Aj said staring at him.
"She cheated on him..." Brian said looking sad. Aj took the magazine off Brian's hands and started reading carefully.
Backtreet Boys Kevin Richardson's wife, Mrs. Kristin Richardson, seemed to recently had some good time away from his husband. Mrs Kristin recently flew to Europe, to work on her first real big movie, coming out next year. As we could see on these pictures, Mrs. Richardson is actually cheating on M. Kevin Richardson and she didn't look really worried about it. Anyone know what is gonna happen but we can be sure that Mrs. Kristin won't be loved by the Backstreet boys's fans. We're looking to see M. Richardson's reaction about that.
And there was some pictures showing Kristin kissing an other boy passionately, all over each other.
"I can't believe it.." Nick sighed. "What a bitch!"
"Don't say this... I mean...maybe it's not really her and it's something the medias put up to make some troubles like they always do!!" Aj said not too sure about that.
"Well, it's her on the pic! It's not another girl who look like her... it's really her! And you know what? She didn't call for a long time so... I know why now..." Brian sighed looking at the pictures.
"Maybe I should go talk with him.." Stacey proposed.
"No no, wait! I'm sure he wants to be alone!" Brian said stopping her.
"Man, this is gonna make a real mess during the interview! Maybe we should do it without him... he'll be too upset..." Aj said feeling sad for his friend.
"Yeah let's do it without him... it's gonna be too emotional for him, especially if they ask him question about his wedding and stuff.." Howie said looking sad too.
"I'll go tell him..." Brian said walking to the bunks. He entered in the room and saw his cousin sobbing, his face in his hands. He walked to him and sat beside him, patting him the back.
"I can't believe she did that..." he said between two sob.
"Wait Kev... maybe she have an explanation for this..." Brian said not really convincing.
"An explanation? What explanation could she probably have!?!?!?!? She cheated on me, that's enough!" Kevin replied getting angry. "The things that make me angry is that she didn't tell me!!"
"Well it's kinda hard to tell this to someone..."
"Yeah but she should have telling me!! I wouldn't have worry about her during a week!!!" he exclamed. "She should have tell me the truth!!! I know it's hard to live when someone tell you that they aren't faithful but it's harder to learn it by the press!!!"
"I'm sure it is... but you should try to call her again and tell her about that shit!" Brian said getting angry about Kristin now. He never liked when people were sad and especially one of the 4 boys. They were great friend and he never liked to see them hurt like this. "Or just ask her if this is really true and everthing...we never know what the press can do sometimes..."
"Yeah don't worry, I will... and if she's not there I'll leave her a message... I want some informations about this and why she didn't tell me earlier!!!" he said still feeling tears in his eyes.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you that we thought maybe it'd be better for you to not come to the interview... maybe you want to try to talk to her or think a little...you're probably a little too upset to talk about your relationship anyway... we never know what the fans will ask..."
"Yeah I thought about it too! Thanks! I prefer to stay here and I'll wait for you! Just say that... I'm sick or something..."
"Yeah we will! Be strong man!" Brian said pattin him in the back and leaving him alone.
When the 4 boys and Stacey left, Kevin took his cell phone and after some minutes of staring at it, he finally dial the number. After 4 rings, the answering machine started so he decided to leave a message.
"Hey Kristin... it's me... again... look, I think we really need to talk... I learned something today and... well... we should just talk and it's really important so leave your other man 2 fucking minutes and call me back as soon as possible!" he said with an angry tone before to hang up.
*Meanwhile in the green room*
The 4 boys were in the green room with Stacey, getting ready for the interview.
"Are you sure he'll be fine?" Stacey asked to the boys. She was a little worried about what happened and felt really sad for Kevin.
"Well...we'll see. He'll probably wants to talk to her... but I think...it'll probably be over..." Brian sighed.
"This is so sad... " she replied.
"You didn't even meet her Stace!" Howie said with a little giggle.
"I know! But this is sad for Kevin! I mean..he was looking really happy with her doesn't he?"
"Yeah he was! He truly loved her..." Brian said feeling bad about that. He always thought that Kevin and Kristin would be together forever. They were so cute together.
"Anyway guys, I know it's hard to forget about that but we have to do it for the interview or it'll go bad!" Aj shouted.
"Yeah he's right! Let's just forget about that shit!" Nick added.
"Ok guys, it's your turn!" someone yelled to them.
Then they heard the host saying : "Everyone, please welcome, the great Backstreet Boys!".
The 4 friends walked to the little stage and waved to the screaming fans in the audience.
"Hey everyone!!! How are youuuuu??" Brian screamed, what made the audience go nuts.
"Hey guys! Welcome to the show!" the host said smiling.
"Hey! It's great to be there! Thanks!" they all replied.
"I can see one backstreet boys is missing. What happened?" the host asked.
"Well, Kevin woke up sick this morning so we decided it was better for him to rest a little." Aj lied.
"Oh well, we all hope he'll be alright for the concert tonight!"
"Of course he will!" Nick said smiling.
"Well, I think the fans here would like to ask you some questions..."
"We're okay with it! No problem!" Howie said.
*During this time, in the bus*
Stacey went out of the tv studio and walked to the bus. She wanted to see if Kevin was alright and if he wanted to talk a little bit about it. She walked in the bus and saw kevin sitting at the table, lost in his thought.
"Hey kev!" she said softly.
"Hey" he answered sadly.
"Are you feeling alright?"
"Would you feel alright learning something like this??" he said getting upset.
"No I wouldn't... so that's why I'm here. If you want to talk about it..."
"Well that's really nice of you but no, I don't really want to talk about it." he said with an angry tone.
She sat in front of him and stared at him, waiting for him to let out everything that was on his heart.
"Come on... say everything you want to!" she added.
Kevin sighed and looked at her. "Everything I want to?" he asked.
"Go ahead!"
"Well I never thought that someone could be so bitch! Cheating on someone and not even hide it! Especially that she knew that there were paparazzi following her! She's just a slut!" he almost yelled. "Girls are cruel!"
"And boys are perfect huh? They never cheat?" she asked a little angry about the last thing he said. "I understand that you're angry but don't generalize too much!"
"Well right now that's how I feel!!! You said you wanted to hear everything... well listen!!!" he shouted.
Stacey was scared now. She never thought someone could be so mad. The look in his eyes was so different then it used to be. His eyes were like frozen. He then started telling her how much he was hurt about it and that he never thought she could do this to him. That everytime she was saying "i love you" she wasn't really feeling it. He was pretty upset now and there were tears in his eyes. She comforted him for a little while and then he went to his bunk to rest a little. Some minutes later, the boys came back from the interview.
At the end of the day Brian was in is room alone waiting for Amber,she was with the other girls out for the day.He was tinking about Kevin and Kristin. He never thought that she could so someting like this to him,she seemeed so happy with Kevin. Brian was feeling so sorry for his cousin
he wish he could do something for him but he knew that Kevin had to be strong and fight with the truth.
"Hey Sweetheart!!"said Amber when she entered in the room.
"My baby!!"he said getting up from the bed. He took her in is arms and kissed her on the cheeks quickly
"So how's my loves is doing?!?!"she asked with her smile

"Yeah and I didn't see him since something like 4 month ... I can't wait to pick him up!!!"
*Europe, in Kristin's room*
Kristin walked in her room and saw the light of her answering machine flashing. 1 new message. She listened to the message and sat on the bed in shock. Kevin sounds so angry. She didn't know how she could probably talk with him.
"Damnit!!" she said to herself while she was packing her things. She thought that the best thing for her was to go back in USA for somedays and have a talk with him. What was that all about? Did he know something?
