Foolish Beat - Chapter 25

by JT Poole

* Someplace in North Carolina *

"Where are we guys?  Looks like the middle of nowhere."  Brian stated as he
noticed Chris walking over to him.  "Oh baby, I am so glad to see you.  Is
everything okay with the guys?"

"It seems that Lance, JC and Justin had some issues that needed to be
resolved" Chris stated, wrapping his arms around Brian.  "Seems that Justin
has some gayness we didn't know about, I think he has a thing for Josh."

"What, not Justin.  I know he was okay about us being gay at all, but I
thought he was all for the girls.  I've never seen him do anything gay."
Brian stated.

"Well I am guessing that he's just coming to terms with some things about
his sexuality.  Ever since Josh and Lance got together, he has been
bickering with them for the last week." Chris stated, as he and Brian
walked over to a bench and sat down.

"How is everything going on in Backstreet territory?"  Chris asked.

"Not good.  It seems that AJ and Nick had a falling out last night and
Kev's trying to patch things up between them."  Brian stated.

"What happened between those two, I thought they were the best of
friends...besides you and him being friends."  Chris stated.

"I don't know.  I tried talking to AJ this morning, but he only told me
that he made a mistake.  When I got off the bus, Kevin was still talking to
Nick about whatever it is that happened."  Brian stated.

"Well how are you holding up with the things that are happening with your
family?"  Chris asked.

"Well, so far everything is getting back to normal.  The charges were
dropped and mom stated that everything has gotten back to normal,
everything's a-okay."  Brian stated.

"Good so you can stop worrying about that and we can have some fun for
 once."  Chris stated.

"What do you mean have some fun for once?  Are you saying that I have been
boring or something?"  Brian asked.

"No baby, I am just saying that you have been preoccupied so much that you
let your worries hold you back when we were together."  Chris stated.  "I
didn't say anything because I didn't want to upset you more.  You were
already upset about plans for the wedding and then everything happened with
your dad and brother, I just didn't want to make it all worse on you."

"Chris...you should have said something, you should have told me
something."  Brian stated.  "I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything.  No need to say anything.  You are the man that I
love, there are going to be times when we don't give it our all, just as
long as we love each other, that's all that's matter."  Chris stated.

"I do love you, with all my heart."  Brian stated, kissing Chris
passionately as Sean and Joey walked up to them.

"Hi guys.  You do realize that we are in the open and someone can see you
guys kissing."  Sean stated.

"Yeah, sorry, we were caught up in the moment."  Brian stated.

"Well next time, you make sure that the moment is discrete.  We don't need
someone to drive by and see you two or any of us kissing, or doing
something that is not acceptable as of yet."  Sean stated.

"Party pooper, you management types always take away our fun."  Brian
stated.

"Hey, lay off of my man, he's just doing what he has to do to keep us
protected."  Joey stated.

"I was only joking, dang, you N Sync guys take everything to seriously."
Brian stated.

"How are JC, Justin and Lance doing?"  Chris asked.  "Have they solved
their problems yet?"

"I don't know, there they are, ask them, and if they haven't tell them to
get their asses back on that bus."  Sean stated.

* Backstreet Boys Tour Bus *

"Come on Nick, just talk with him, I tell you, he's very upset about the
whole thing.  I think he has feelings for you."  Kevin stated.

"Look Kevin, I told you, I just need for him to leave me alone for now.  I
need to think about this and think a lot."  Nick stated.  "Until then, I
will not talk to him or anyone about it until I am ready to so drop it."

"Alright Nick, I guess we are finished then.  I will let you and AJ handle
this."  Kevin stated as he hugged Nick again and got off the bus.

"He doesn't understand how I feel.  I like Alex, I just don't want to fall
in love with him and he breaks my heart and it breaks us all up."  Nick
stated to himself, as he got up to head off the bus too.

* Outside -- The Rest Stop *

"Well are you guys friends again?  Is everything okay now?"  Sean asked as
he saw Justin, Lance and JC walk off of the tour bus.

"Yeah, we are all okay now.  I just took a while for me to open my eyes to
the fact that Lance and JC have something."  Justin stated.

"About damn time.  Now we can have some unity in this bunch."  Sean stated
as he noticed AJ and Kevin walking over to him.

"Sean, we need to talk to you real quick, do you have a moment?"  Kevin
asked.

"Yeah, sure, what's up?"  Sean asked walking away with the two men.

"Well Sean, as of the moment, we seem to have a small problem in Backstreet
camp.  Nick and AJ had a small problem that might cause a rift within the
group."  Kevin stated.

"Oh no, what happened?  Is this something I am going to regret hearing?"
Sean asked.

"Well I don't know.  All I can say is that, it's something personal that
the two of them need to work out for right now, but if it gets worst, there
might be problems that may affect the group."  Kevin stated.

"Is this true AJ?  Will there be problems that you two can't work out that
may have bad effects on the group?"  Sean asked.

"I hope not, I will do as Nick asked.  I will not communicate with him
until he is ready to talk to me again."  AJ stated as he started to cry
softly.

"Well if that's going to keep the peace between you two, then I guess
that's what you need to do."  Sean stated as Joey came over to hand him his
cell phone.

"Baby, there's a problem, Johnny needs to talk with you."  Joey stated,
handing Sean his phone.

"Yeah Johnny, what's up?"  Sean asked.

"There's an article in the `Enquirer' about Lance and JC.  It seems that a
fan, or someone took a picture of the two of them kissing.  Is there
something you want to tell me?"  Johnny asked.

"Shit!"  Sean cursed, dropping his phone to the ground.
