Fate Will Gather Us Together
Chapter Two

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

In a plane from Orlando...

"Finally! We saw the new dancers and musicians! I hope there are some hot
chicks..." said Howie as the other laughed.

"It wasn't supposed to be AJ's sentence?" asked Brian with a grin.

"Hey! That's over for me, man! I have my girl... the one..." he said with a
dream look on his face.

"Ah yes... that freaky Amanda?" said Nick. AJ took one of the pillows of the
plane and threw it at Nick who just giggled.

"She's not freaky! She's so special... so beautiful, so gentle, so
caring..." he said when Nick cut him.

"And big!" he said as AJ glared at him.

"She's not big!"

"He's right, Nick... she's not big..." started to say Howie.

"Thanks, D." said AJ smiling.

"She just have.. BIG BOOBS!" he said. The other laughed except AJ who threw
a pillow at Howie.

"She's mine! Don't stare at her boobs! They're mine too." Said AJ. Nick
looked at AJ and said:

"Where are they, Bone? I don't see them." He said with a grin. AJ looked
around him to find another pillow but found no one.

"At least, I have somebody!" he said, as he tongued at Nick. Nick tongued
back and heard Brian sighed. He turned to him and said:

"You're okay, Brian?"

"Yes... Just a bit... sad, that's all." He said, trying to smile a little.
The other looked at him with compassion. Brian's marriage was destroyed.
LeighAnn had cheated on him three weeks ago. He found her in their bed with
another man. She was begging him to give her another chance. She said that
she didn't know why she did that and that she loved him more than anything.
Brian had finally accepted. But as he was ready to give her another chance,
she did it again. This time, he asked to divorce. All the others were
shocked too. LeighAnn had always been a good friend so they hardly believed
that... until Nick and Brian found her kissing passionately a man in a club.

"Where... things are going, cuz?" asked Kevin very carefully.

"Well... We signed the papers when we were at Orlando so we're officially
divorced... and now I must do some finally things with the Church... so one
day I could marry again... if I found the right one..." he sighed looking
out of one of the window. "I'll go when we'll arrived..."

"I'll go with you." Said Kevin.

"Kev, it's ok, you don't have to..." he said looking at him. Kevin looked
sternly at him back. No matter what he did or said, Kevin would to be here
for him.

"Alright... thanks cuz." He said with a small smile. Kevin smiled back.

"I can go with you too." Offered Nick.

"No, Nick, it's okay, you can go with the other or do other things." Said
Brian. Nick tried to give him the look that Kevin had on his face but it
only made Brian smiled.

"Sorry, Nicky, that's only worked with Kevin." Said Brian. This time, Nick
gave him a puppy look. "No, no, Nick." Yet, it was hard to resist.

"Alright..." said Nick, a bit sad. He then looked at Kevin "You'll watch on
him, okay?"

"Don't worry." Said Kevin with a grin. The other grinned too. Nick and Brian
were always the best friends in the world and since Brian had discovered the
truth about his wife, Nick had never left Brian's side and now they were
closer than before. Nick yawned and stared sleepily in the space. He then
felt Brian's arm around his shoulders.

"You can sleep on my shoulder if you want... we're not landing before one
hour or so." He said. Nick smiled and leaned against his friend's shoulder.

"Thanks, Frick..." he said as he closed his eyes and cuddled against him.

"No problem, Frack..." whispered Brian as he watched Nick falling asleep.

"No problem..." he thought. He sighed and closed his eyes, wanting to sleep
as well.

"I think I'm going to take a lap too." Said AJ "And you guys?" he then saw
that Kevin and Howie were already trying to sleep too.
He just rolled his eyes, leaned in his seat and closed his eyes. He soon
fell asleep too.

***********

Gene sat in his seat and just looked outside. It's the first time that he
left his family for a long time. He once did that in time but not for more
than two weeks or so. He sighed and started to read the magazine he bought
earlier. On the cover were the BSB. The five members, smiling, dressing in
identical white shirts and pants. He looked at Nick and sighed. He really
wondered what he was going to do when he'd stand in front of him.

"I hope he won't think that I'm exactly like him." He thought. He then shook
his head and rolled his eyes. "Stupid to think that, Gene! He'll think that,
no matter what!" He then looked at the person next to Nick and smiled.

"Cute... brown hair, blue eyes... exactly what I like..." he whispered,
smiling. Gene knew he was bisexual since he was 14 when he fell in love for
the first time... with Jeff, his best friend. The next year, Jeff told him,
very afraid, that he was gay and in love with him. Gene was shocked by that,
of course, so Jeff pleaded him to please accept him because he was his only
true friend and he didn't want to loose him... a long and very sweet kiss on
the lips was Gene's answer. It was his first kiss and the first kiss of a
very beautiful love. For three years, they had a very romantic and lovingly
relationship. Everything was perfect. Their family were shocked when they
said that they were in love with each other but they accepted them, knowing
that their sons were very happy together...
Unfortunately, Jeff dead in a boat accident two years ago. He sighed and
shook his head. He knew he would never forget him. He saw him several times
in his dreams. Each time, always expressing their love for each other.

"I'll never forget you, Jeff." He thought, closing his eyes and taking a big
breath, a tear streaming down his face. He pushed it away, leaned back in
his seat and closed his eyes. He needed some sleep. Soon, things would be
more difficult.

***********

Brian opened his eyes and immediately felt a warm body. He looked down and
saw Nick. His head was on his chest and his arms around his waist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're landing to New York..." He heard as he stared
at Nick.

He began to move and felt some resistance. He saw Nick frowning and
clutching at him. He stopped moving and saw Nick smiled a little, still
asleep.

"Glad that you like to use me as a pillow but we're landing so wake up." He
said in Nick's ear. Nick opened his eyes and saw his position. He quickly
sat up, blushing.

"Sorry, Bri." He said. Brian just giggled and said:
"No problems."

Forty minutes later, they were all in a limousine for their hotel.

"So... we have a day off tomorrow before we met all our new dancers and
musicians... what are you going to do?" asked Kevin.

"Clubs and shopping for me." Said Howie.

"Good idea, D. I'll go with you." Said AJ.

"I'm going to finish my stuff with the church." Said Brian, looking outside
the window. Nick put his arm around him and shook him lightly.

"I'll be there, remember?" said Kevin. Brian just nodded.

"OK. And you Nick?"

"I don't know... I guess I'll stay at the hotel..." said Nick. He then
turned to Brian "You'll join me after, Bri? We could watch some movies and
play video games."

"I'd love to." Said Brian, smiling.

Fifteen minutes later, the limousine stopped and one by one, the BSB exited
the car. Fortunately, no fans already knew that they were in New York, so
they weren't mobbed. Inside the luxury hotel, Tim, one of their management,
was waiting for them.

"There you are. Just in time! This is the key of your rooms. This time,
you're not sharing rooms. Each of you have his own one." He said, heading
the keys to the guys. They all took their keys.

"Remember that tomorrow, you have the day off. Then the next day we'll all
met at the office for rehearsal at 10 A.M. Understand?"

They all nodded and went in the elevator. At the seventh floor, they all say
good night and went in their respective rooms.

In his room, Nick put his cases in front of the bed and lay on it.

"I wish I had to share my room with Brian..." he sighed, looking at the
ceiling. He then got up and pulled off his shirt. He walked in the bathroom
and looked at himself in the big mirror.

"I really need a diet and exercises... I'm so fat..." he whispered, a very
sad look on his face. Tears came to his eyes and he quickly pushed them
away. He then saw his chain with his golden locket in a shape of a star. He
took it, opened it and sighed.

"G.M.W... What's that mean?" he thought. Each time he looked at his locket,
he asked himself this question... since he had it, five years ago. His
mother's gift He shook his head and decided to take his shower.

***********

Gene walked in the airport, searching the people who were supposed to take
him at the hotel with the other dancers and musicians. He continued to walk
and soon saw about thirty persons with big cases. One of these people looked
like Fatima, the choreographer. Several times, he saw her on TV and knew
that she was the choreographer of the Backstreet Boys. He walked toward her
and said: "Excuse me, madam."
Fatima looked at him is surprise.

"Nick?! Since when do you call me like that?" she said, smiling.

"Huh?" said Gene, confused.

"Oh come on, Nick, don't play around... Once again, you dried you hair in
brown... I told you that you were better in blond..." she giggled.

"Excuse me but I'm not Nick." Said Gene.

"Of course, Nick." She said sarcastically. "Always kidding..."

"Really, madam, I'm not Nick. My name is Gene. Gene Mark Wiser. See." He
said as he showed her his identity card.
Fatima looked at it and frowned.

"Gene Mark Wiser... you are the new guitarist of the band?"

"Yes, that's me." Said Gene, happy to have found the other.

"Oh... well excuse me but you look so much like Nick and you have the same
voice... it's amazing!" she said, amazing.

"Some people told me that too." He said.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're here. We were waiting for you." She said. "Follow
me."

Gene followed her and soon met three other guys.

"Guys, this is Gene, the new guitarist. Gene, this is Mark, Fred and Denis."
She said pointing at each guy.

"Wow, a Nick's double!" said, while smiling, Mark, a very long blond hair
guy about 6'3'' tall. "Pleased to meet you, buddy!" he said as he shook
Gene's hand.

"Yeah, hi Gene!" said Fred, a short brown hair guy, about 5'8''. "Welcome!"
he said, shaking his hand.

"Beside, Gene is Nick's middle name." Said Denis, short blond hair guy about
6'2'' tall. "Glad to see you." He said, shaking Gene's hand.

"Well, we must go, guys." Said Fatima as she walked away.

"Yes, mom." Said Mark, Denis and Fred before laughing. Fatima just rolled
his eyes. They started to walk with her and the other people, who were
surely the dancers, toward the exit.

"You're in the band for a long time?" asked Gene.

"Yes, son. For two years or so!" said Mark.

"You'll see... you like everything! The crown, the different countries,
towns... that's great! But especially, you'll like the boys. They're very
kind." Said Denis.

"No... Especially US!" said Mark with a goofy face, making the other three
laughed. Gene was happy. All began without problems.
