Subject: Nick Lachey: My Everything-34

Hey Everyone! Just in case this chapter isn't out
before then, I'd like to Wish you all a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year!! I hope yours will be
as good as mine will be.


Well let's just say that even thought it will take a
little longer than I thought, I've decided to try and
write at least one chapter on every day that I have
off of work. It has been hectic lately, but with the
break I took from writing, it gave me a chance to
think about how I want the story to continue. So here
goes.

Oh, and I'm going to try to write it with different
scenes in each chapter so we can all see what's going
on with the other characters, rather then from Sean's
point of view.


First of all, let me just say that this is my first
time writing any kind of fiction like this.

DISCLAIMER: This is a work of total fiction and is not
meant to imply anything about the sexualities of Nick
and Drew Lachey or anyone else mentioned in this
story.

If you are too young to read this, or if Homosexuality
offends you, then please don't continue any further
and leave.

Other 98 Degrees stories I'd like to recommend are.

"Give Me Just One Night" by Unanoche.
"69 with Jeff Timmons" by Zachary Scott Pritt
"Nick Lachey" by Ken.
"98 Degrees Is Hot" by Gay Night
"The Reunion" by RinSong.
"Loving Nick Lachey" by Jordan

and finally:
"This Gift" by Sprout.

Now, I"ll let you get on with the story.

Enjoy.

Previously on "My Everything".....


When I got into the kitchen, I turned around and
hugged Jeff.

"Jeff, are you going to be alright?" I asked him. "I'm
not sure what Danny is doing back here this early, but
I just want to know if you're going to be able to deal
with him?"

Jeff, still hugging me, nodded. "Yes, I'll be
alright." He replied, then added.

I'm not saying that I'm not glad to see Danny, but we
still have issues we have to resolve."

I nodded and pulled back to look him in the eyes.

"I know you're still hurting, and trust me, Danny is
already aware that something's wrong. I wasn't so nice
to him when he came to the door. I was rather cold
with him and he's going to want to know why." I told
him.

"You didn't say anything to him, did you?" Jeff asked,
with a worried look.

"No, I didn't, Jeff." I said to him. "But we're
definitely going to have to say something to him
later."

"Ok, but not yet. later." Jeff said. "First, we have
to find out why he's back and for how long, and what
reason."

"Yeah, that's a good point. I said. "Well, there's no
time like the present." I said to him. "Are you ready
to go back out there?"

"Yeah." Jeff said. "I'm ok. Come on, let's go."

He put his arm back around me and we walked back into
the living room.

The guys were still talking and Nick looked in our
direction just as we entered into the living room.

"Hey guys, you're just in time to hear the good news?"

Jeff and I both looked at each other with a confused
look.

 "What good news?" We both wanted to know.

"My good news." Danny said, looking at us. I noticed
that he gave Jeff a strange look before looking back
at me.

"I proposed to Amber yesterday." Danny said, smiling
at me. "We're getting married."


CHAPTER 34
**********

The room was totally silent as Danny, Nick, and
everyone else were watching Jeff and I, waiting for
our reactions.

I looked at Jeff and noticed that he was smiling. Now,
that confused me.

I watched as he walked over to Danny and stood in
front of him. Then he spoke.

"You must be very happy, Danny." Jeff said to him,
still smiling.

"I am, Jeff." Danny said, with a small smile. "I've
prayed for this moment for a long time now."

"Really?" Jeff asked him. "Then, pray on this."

Right after Jeff said that, his fist suddenly shot out
and he hit Danny square across the face. Everyone
gasped and stared at Jeff in complete shock and
amazement.

Danny stumbled back and landed on his ass. He looked
up, shocked at what Jeff had done. I could also see
the anger flashing through his eyes.

"Jeff, what the fuck are you doing?!" Nick gasped out,
staring at Jeff in shock. "Have you lost your mind?!"

Jeff just flashed Nick an angry glare.

No, but he sure has, Nick!" Jeff shouted at Nick, then
he turned back to Danny, his blue eyes, blazing.

"You're a real piece of work, you know that, Danny?!"
Jeff yelled. "It was bad enough that you hit me and
called me a cheap whore when I kissed you the day that
you left...."

Jeff was unable to finish, because Nick, Drew, Justin,
and Kandi, all gasped. But none of them got to say
anything, as Jeff continued to rant and rave at Danny.

"You have no idea what your cruel behavior did to me
after you left! I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and
I sure as hell couldn't talk to any of my friends, who
have all been there for me! I was in a deep depression
for days!"

Jeff's angry eyes were filling with tears and he was
starting to get very hysterical.

"You are the most callous, irresponsible,
contemptable, fucking asshole that I've ever met!!"
Jeff screamed at Danny. "And rubbing my face into this
latest announcement is the last straw!!! As far as I'm
concerned, I'm no longer in love with you, Danny, in
fact, I hate you!! I hope you rot in hell!!!"

Jeff couldn't say anymore and he turned and ran up the
stairs to his room. We could hear the door slamming
behind him.

Danny got up and wiped at his lip, which was bleeding
from where Jeff had hit him. His face was wet with
tears, realizing just how badly he had hurt Jeff, as
well as us all.

Danny wiped at his face and looked up at all the guys,
standing before him.

Nick, Drew, Justin and Kandi all had angry glares on
their faces as they all stared at Danny with contempt
in their eyes.

"Let me at this bastard!!" Kandi screamed as she
lunged at Danny.

Justin grabbed her before she could get ahold of Danny
and picked her up and took her upstairs, Kandi kicking
and screaming, leaving Drew, Nick, and I in the living
room with Danny.

Nick glared at Danny and pointed towards the door.

I'm going to give you two seconds to get your sorry
ass out of this house, before I break every
contemptable bone in your body!" Nick hissed at Danny.

"Nick, please don't do that." I begged him. Nick and
Drew both looked over at me in amazement.

"How come you're not angry with him, Sean?" Drew asked
me, the anger apparent in his voice. "You should be
madder than the rest of us!"

"Oh yeah, Drew, I'm furious." I said to him. "But
hurting Danny isn't the answer."

Nick started giving me the evil eye, which is what he
did when he was suspicious and trying to figure
something out. I didn't like that look at all.

"Nick, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked
him.

The look on Nick's face got even more intense.

"You know I looked over at you when Jeff was ranting
and raving earlier and when he admitted everything
that he'd been through, you didn't seem all that
shocked about it. "Why is that?"

I shuddered, knowing that now that everything was out
in the open I had to tell my husband the truth. I just
hoped that he'd be able to forgive me.

" Well, because I already knew everything." I said to
him.

"You what?! Nick and Drew both shouted at the same
time.

"You knew?" Nick asked, anger filling his features.
"And you didn't tell us?"

"Nick? Drew? Please, let me explain?" I tried to say.

"You'd better, Sean." Drew said, his face showing
anger as well. "And it better be good!"

I took a deep breath and tried to fight back the
tears, which were threatening to fall any minute. I
was in trouble now. And I didn' know what I was going
to say or do to help Nick and Drew understand why I
did what I did.

"Look you guys, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But Jeff
swore me to secrecy on this. He didn't want you to
know what had happened until he had a chance to tell
you himself." I told Nick and Drew. "I didn't like
being caught in the middle, but I wasn't about to
break a confidence, either. What kind of best friend
would I be if I did?"

"That's still no excuse for keeping it from us." Nick
said, his voice quieter now, but he was still angry.
"What if Jeff was suicidal and tried to commit
suicide? How would you have felt then?"

I shuddered at the thought of Jeff committing suicide.
That was a very scary thought. But I didn't think that
Jeff would do that. He was a strong guy.

"Guys, please, don't be so hard on Sean." Danny
managed to say. "He was just trying to be there for
Jeff."

"You shut up!!" Drew shouted at Danny. "We are not
interested in anything you have to say!"

Danny then decided to stay silent and let Drew rant
and rave at me all they wanted. It was more his fault
than mine that Jeff was in this mess, but I wasn't
without fault either.

Drew and Nick turned back to me, but it was Drew this
time who spoke up.

"Sean, I'm very disappointed in you." Drew. " I
thought you knew what was expected of you around
here."

"Drew..." I started, now feeling bad, but Drew cut me
off.

"Forget it." Drew said. "I can't deal with you anymore
tonight. I'm going up to bed."

And with that, He hugged Nick, bid him goodnight and
with a final glare at Danny, started heading up to
bed.

"Goodnight, Drew." I called out to him as he headed
upstairs. He didn't answer me.

The tears were falling freely now. I turned back to
Nick. He was standing there, his arms crossed over his
chest, gazing at me.

"Well, Sean, don't you have something to say to me?"
He asked me. I didn't like his tone of voice.

"What Nick, are you expecting an apology from me?" I
asked him. "Well I'm sorry, but I have nothing to
apologize for."

Then Nick blew up at me. "Geez, Sean, are you too vain
to ever admit that you were wrong?!" He yelled at me
again, then turning to pace the living room, his back
to me.

"No, I'll admit that I made a mistake when I married
you!!" I screamed at him.

I heard Danny gasp, and saw Nick stop in his tracks.
He turned around, the hurt evident in his eyes.

"What?" Nick asked me, hurt in his voice.

"Let's be honest, Nick." I continued, my anger taking
over any other emotion that I was feeling. "I don't
think I ever really loved you!"

"What?!" Nick, whimpered, ready to cry. "What did you
just say to me?!"

"I said, I don't think I ever really loved you!" I
repeated.

When I'd said it for the second time, Nick's face fell
and he crumpled to the floor and started sobbing.

Watching him sob, my anger faded and my face took on a
look of sheer horror when I realized what I had said
and done.

"Nick.." I started, trying to say something.

"Oh, my god!" Nick cried out. "I'm gonna be sick!"

"Nick..." I tried again, but nothing came out. I
couldn't say anything. I'd really done it to myself
now. My angry words could end up costing me my
marriage and I'd have no one to blame but myself.

"How could you say that?!" Nick sobbed, unable to look
up at me. He stood up and wiped at his eyes.

"Nick, I'm sorry." I said, trying to put my arms
around him, but he pushed me away.

"Don't you fucking touch me, you son of a bitch!" Nick
screamed at me. "Just leave me the hell alone!"

His words hurt me very deeply, but I knew I deserved
it. They could not compare to what I'd said to him.

"Nick, please..." I said, trying to grab him again.
Instead I earned a slap in the face.

"I said don't touch me!" Nick screamed, his face still
wet with tears. "As a matter of fact, you and Danny
both get the hell out of my house!"

I gasped hearing those words. Now I knew that I was in
trouble. Nick was kicking me out!"

"You don't mean that, Nick." I sobbed to him.

Nick finally looked up at me straight in the eyes.

"After what you just said to me, You better believe I
mean it!" He said.

His eyes said it all. He meant it. He wanted me to
leave.

"I'm going up to my room now." Nick said to me. "Don't
even think about coming up here."

And with that, he ran upstairs to his room.

I sank down in a chair and buried my face in my hands,
sobs racking my body. I'd lost him.

I felt someone sit beside me and put their arm around
me. I looked up to see that it was Danny.

"Sean, how could you say all of that to him?" Danny
said to me. "That's not like you at all."

I then pushed his arm off of me, still angry with him
over how he treated Jeff.

"You're one to talk over how you treated Jeff!" I
hissed at him. "I don't need your sympathy or pity!" I
yelled.

I stood up, knowing that I had to do something. I
couldn't stay here.

"I can't stay here. I've got to get out of here!" I
said, running and grabbing my keys off of the coffee
table and running to the door.

Danny looked after me in horror and then started
running after me.

"Sean, wait! You're in no shape to drive!" He yelled
out, as he ran after me."

*******************************************************

UP IN NICK'S ROOM.........

Nick was sobbing on the bed, when someone knocked on
the door.

"If that's you, Sean, go the fuck away!" He said.

"Nick, it's just me, can I come in?" Drew's voice
asked from the other side of the door.

Nick stood up and walked over to the door. He opened
it to reveal Drew standing on the other side of the
door.

Once Drew caught sight of Nick's face, his already
worried look turned to one of panic.

"Nick, what happened?" Drew asked him. "Why are you
crying?"

Nick just turned and walked back over to the bed and
sat back  down on it and buried his face into his
hands.

"Sean, said he made a mistake marrying me." Nick got
out between his sobs.

"Come again?" Drew asked in disbelief, hoping that
he'd heard Nick wrong.

"You heard me, Drew." Nick whimpered. "Sean said he
made a mistake marrying me."

Drew was shocked that Sean could even think of saying
something like that to Nick.

"Nick, I don't think Sean really meant that." Drew
said, as he sat down beside his older brother and put
his arms around him.

"Couples say crazy things all the time when they're
fighting." He said to Nick.

"I don't think so, Drew." Nick replied, wiping at his
eyes. "I think this time what Sean said was the last
straw for me."

"Well then why don't you and I both go downstairs and
talk  to Sean and get this whole thing straightened
out?"

"I can't Drew." Nick said.

"Why not?" Drew asked him.

Nick sighed and gave Drew his revelation.

"Because I kicked him out of the house." Nick said.

"You what?!" Drew asked in horror. "Nick, what were
you thinking?"

"I wasn't thinking, Drew." Nick. "I just wanted him to
get out."

"Nick, do you realize what you may have done?" Drew
asked, getting up and running to the door.

"Where are you going?" Nick asked him.

Drew turned back to look at Nick, then said.

"To get, Jeff, Justin, and Kandi up, so we can go out
looking for Sean. Before he does something drastic."

"What do you mean?" Nick asked, suddenly looking very
afraid.

"I'm telling you if Sean thinks he's lost you, then he
might very well do something to himself."

Realizing what Drew meant, Nick's face took on a look
of horror.

"Oh my god, Drew, are you saying.....?" Nick stammered
out.

"Come on, Nick. Let's go!" Drew said, motioning Nick
to follow him.

Nick jumped up off the bed and followed Drew to get
the rest of the guys.

*******************************************************
MEANWHILE, ON THE STREETS OF L.A.

I had run outside of the house and jumped into Danny's
corvette that he had given to me for my wedding
present, and started the engine.

I could hear someone yelling out my name and I looked
up to see Danny running towards the car. But I was not
going to deal with him.

I put the car in "drive" and floored the pedal,
peeling out of the parking lot.

I continued to drive along the winding roads of the
streets and then continued to drive, all the while
voices were ringing through my head.

"Don't you fucking touch me you son of a bitch!" I
heard Nick's voice say.

"Sean, how could you say that to him?" Danny's voice
said next."

"Actually you and Danny get the hell out of my house!"
I heard Nick's voice scream.

"Nick, you don't mean that." I heard myself say."

"After what you just said to me, You'd better believe
that I mean it." Nick's voice rang out again.

I started crying again, my eyes closing from the sobs,
racking my body, that I wasn't watching where I was
going.

A honking horn and the glaring of headlights brought
me out of my stupor and I looked up in time to see a
gasoline tanker just about ready to collide with me
head on.

I swerved to avoid it, but it was too late.

"Oh no!" I screamed. "Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"


CRASH!!!

*******************************************************
BACK IN NICK'S CAR......

 Nick, Drew, Jeff, Justin, and Kandi were all in
Nick's car, driving as fast as they could down the
highway, to find me before something bad happened.

"Danny, which way do you think he went?" Jeff asked,
Danny, who was sitting beside him.

"I don't know, Jeff." Danny said, his face white as a
ghost. "I wish I did."

Jeff, and the guys were still angry with Danny, but
they put their feelings aside for the time being
because they needed Danny's help to find me. and fast.

"Well we've got to find him, before it's too late."

*******************************************************
AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH........

When I came to, I winced in pain. Then as I looked
around, I notice that I'd hit the tanker broadside and
the car was lodged underneath it.

Then I heard someone from beside me.

"Excuse me, sir, are you alright?" I heard a female
voice ask.

I turned to see the truckdriver looking in at me, with
a worried expression.

"Well physically I'm fine, but my legs are stuck under
the dash." I said to her, just as I tried to move, and
realized that I couldn't move my legs. Somehow they
were caught under the dash.

"What?" The truckdriver said. "Hold on, I'll open the
door."

She grabbed the handle to the driver's side door and
tried to open it. but it was stuck too.

"It's stuck." she said. "I'll have to go back to my
truck and get a crowbar or something to pry the door
open."

"Alright, go ahead." I said to her. "I'll be alright."

"Ok, sit tight." She said, running off to get what she
needed.

I tried to move my legs again, but still couldn't. I
lay my head back against the seat and closed my eyes
for a second.

A minute later I thought I heard what sounded like the
trickling of water. I opened my eyes and noticed it
trickling down the windshield. Then as I looked more
closely, I realized in horror that it was not water.
The smell later confirmed it.

"Oh my god!" I gasped out in horror. "Oh my god,
that's gasoline!"

Then I tried pushing the wheel on the dashboard up to
try and free my legs, but still couldn't free them.

Then I screamed when sparks started spewing out of the
dash. This car could explode any second!

Just at that moment, the driver came back with a
crowbar.

"Ok, I'm going to get you out of here, just let me get
the door open." She said, while trying to pry it open
with the crowbar.

"Oh, thank god!" I gasped out. "Hurry! Hurry, there's
gasoline! There's gasoline!"

"What?!" the truck driver gasped in horror, looking up
at the trunks tank to notice a hose leaking gasoline
out all over the windshield.

"Alright, I'm going to get you out of here." She said,
running towards the back of the car.

"Where's she going?" I wondered. She was supposed to
be helping me out.

Just then she appeared on the other side of the car
and opened the door, holding out her hand.

"Come on, come on." She insisted.

"I can't, I'm trapped. My legs are stuck, remember?"

The truckdriver then started helping me try to push up
the dash to help me get my legs free. Time was running
out!

"Oh god! Oh, god! Push! Push!" I sobbed out, tears of
horror and desperation running down my face as I tried
to help her get myself free.

*******************************************************
NICK'S CAR......


The guys pulled up to the scene of a gasoline tanker
and a car crashed, but they couldn't make out whether
the car was Sean's or not.

"Oh, my god, that looks bad." Nick said, as he and the
guys jumped out and started running towards the crash
site.

"Guys, don't go near that truck!" A man from the other
side of the road said to them. "It could explode any
second!"

Alright, but can you tell us what happened?" Danny
asked him.

The man shook his head. "All I know is that a shiny
red corvette collided with this gasoline tanker and
right now the truckdriver is trying to get a man out
of it right now."

"Oh my god!" Nick exclaimed."Sean's in that car! Come
on, let's get him out!"

"No, you stay here!" Danny said to him, then to the
rest of the guys. "All of you stay here. I will get
him out!"

With that, Danny started running towards the truck and
car. But he didn't make it in time.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The car and the tanker both exploded with a thunderous
roar, the force of the explosion throwing Danny
backwards several feet with him landing on his back.
He looked up in horror to see nothing but flying
debris and a mosterous fireball.

The guys had been all hugging each other together as a
group when they heard the explosion.

They all turned around, just in time to see Danny get
blown back a few feet from the force of the explosion
and the car and truck get engulfed in flames.

"Sean!!!!!!!" They all cried out."


TBC..........?"

Well that's it for this installment. Did Sean die?" or
did the truckdriver get him out in time?"

If Sean is dead, where will this leave Nick, Danny,
and the rest of the guys?" Will Nick be able to move
on without Sean should the worst happen?"

Don't miss what happens next. Because it's
Everything!"

Until next time,
