Subject: Nick Lachey: My Everything-65

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm back with another chapter of "My Everything."

Thanks for all of your support! Without it, I don't
think I could have written this story for this long.

Now on with the story.

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.

NEWSFLASH: To those of you who don't already know,
Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, in real life, have
reconciled and are now husband and wife. I wish them
all the best with their marriage and hope they live a
long and happy life together.

If you want details about their wedding, check out the
98 Degrees Official Website at www.98degrees.com.

Enjoy.


Previously on "My Everything".....


"Alright, here it is." Jake said.

He hesitated a moment. Then, summoning up his courage,
he asked it:

"You're in love with him again, aren't you?" He said.
"That's why you are in so much pain, and that's why
you were going to drink. Isn't it?

Once again, the emotions came in a flood. Jake had hit
the nail on the head.

I'm right, aren't I?" He asked, as he noticed that I
was about to fall apart.

"Yes." I whispered, as I got up and started to pace
the room. "I didn't realize it until we kissed for the
last time and we managed to bring closure to our
relationship. Nick is over me."

"But you're not over him." Jake said, standing up and
coming towards me.

"I thought I was." I said, as I started sobbing. "But
once he kissed me, I realized that I never really
stopped loving him, even through all of that pain and
bitterness, somewhere beneath all of that, I still
loved him."

Jake then pulled me to him and hugged me, trying to
offer me comfort. He wasn't usually the hugging type,
but he could see that I needed some type of comfort
right now.

"But now, I'm having dreams about him." I said,
crying, as I clung to Jake. "I'm having dreams about
being back with him again, and when I wake up back
into reality, I realize just how lonely I really am
and how much I miss being with him."

"I know." Jake said, in a low voice. "But you've got
to stop torturing yourself like this, man? You need to
move on with your life. I just want to see you happy
again."

I knew what Jake was saying made sense, but try
telling that to my wounded heart.

"I know what you're saying, Jake." I sobbed. "But it's
easier said, than done, because my heart won't leave
him behind. My heart won't let him go. I love him so
much and yet I can never tell him that. Never."

I couldn't continue and sobbed into Jake's shoulder.
He just held me and told me that everything was going
to be alright, while I got it all out of my system.

After I was finished, I pulled back from Jake and gave
him a weak smile.

"Thanks." I said, wiping my tears away. "I needed
that."

"No, problem." Jake said. "Would you like me to stay
here for a while and hang out with you?"

I looked up at him and smiled at him.

"I'd like that, buddy." I said to him. "With you here,
maybe that will keep me from drinking."

Jake turned and looked at the glass on the table,
which contained the vodka and orange juice.

"Speaking of drinking." He said, as he walked over to
the kitchen table.

He grabbed the glass and poured it's contents into the
sink and ran the faucet to flush it down and clean the
sink of it's remnants.

"That takes care of that." Jake says. "I hope I never
taste anything like that again."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well, you wouldn't have if you hadn't helped yourself
to it, without asking me first." I laughed.

"Touche." He said, laughing too. "Next time, I'll try
to control my thirst urges."

"And your manly ones too." I said, giggling. I
couldn't resist throwing that one out there.

"Excuse me?" He asked, with a grin. "I think you need
more help with that than I do."

I just grinned at Jake. Somehow, I knew that today was
going to be a good day.

CHAPTER 65
***********

LATER THAT MORNING, AT THE LACHEY HOUSE...............

Nick, Jessica, and the guys were all sitting in the
kitchen, eating their lunch, and talking amongst
themselves about the events for the day.

Justin Kandi, and Nick, were sitting on one side of
the table, while Danny, Jeff, and Jessica were sitting
on the other.

Nick and Jessica were sitting closest to the one end
of the table, where Nicole was fastened in her high
chair.

Drew, was sitting at the other end, totally alone. He
had picked that particular place since nobody wanted
to sit next to him at the table, with the exception of
Nick, who had no idea what was going on.

"Well guys." Nick said, looking around at everyone.
"Are you all ready to finish up our album at the
recording studio today?"

"Yeah, Nick." Jeff said. He didn't sound very
enthusiastic about it. Everyone noticed it.

"Why do you say it like that, Jeff?" Justin asked him.

Jeff looked at Justin, and the rest of the guys and
prepared to let them know what was on his mind.

"I was just thinking that once we get through today,
we're going to be working on our last album as a
group. After that, we all go our separate ways."

Everyone else realized what he was saying and they all
shared his sadness. They were no longer going to be
traveling together as a group any longer. 98 Degrees
was reaching it's end.

They were going to head to the recording studio later
that day to put the finishing touches on their last
album, "98 Degrees, Greatest Hits." Then, after that,
the group would officially split up, and they would
all go their separate ways.

"But, that doesn't mean that it has to be over." Drew
said, trying to jump into the conversation, so Nick
wouldn't pick up on the tension between him, and the
rest of the guys. If Nick hadn't already.

"We're still going to be a family." Drew continued.
"That's never going to change. We just won't be 98
Degrees anymore. That doesn't mean that we can't all
still be together."

"Drew is right." Nick said, nodding. "We will always
be family, no matter what. And look at the bright side
of this: We will have an indefinite vacation until
further notice. I know I want to be able to pursue a
solo career soon, but right now, I want to enjoy the
time we have off and have fun. Maybe do some
traveling."

Here, Nick looked over at Jessica.

"Who knows?" He said, grinning from ear to ear. "Maybe
Jessica and I can go on a second honeymoon."

Jessica's face lit up when she heard that.

"Baby, that is a wonderful idea!" She said, obviously
ecstatic. "I'd love that. Where will we go this time?"

Nick shook his head.

"I don't know, yet." He said. "Let's just wait and
cross that bridge when we come to it. First, I want to
get through today. Then, once it's over and our
indefinite vacation time begins, and we'll talk about
it, ok?"

"Ok." Jessica said. "I'm so excited!"

"Me too, babe." Nick said, leaning over and giving her
a quick peck on the lips.

"I'm going to get some more juice." Jessica said,
getting up. "Do you want some, Nick?"

"No thanks, babe." Nick politely declined, shaking his
head. "You go ahead."

Jessica headed to the refridgerator to get her juice.
She pulled out grape juice and poured some into her
glass.

Then, Danny had a question that he wanted to share
with everyone else.

"Do you think we should call Sean and tell him about
this?"

Nick hadn't thought of that. But then he had an idea.

"No." He said. "We can do better than that."

"What do you mean?" Jeff asked, looking at Nick, in
confusion.

Jessica raised the glass to her lips and started
drinking her grape juice.

"Why don't we go and see him and tell him in person."
Nick suggested.

Jessica wasn't prepared for that, for she choked on
her grape juice, spitting it out all over the place.

Everyone immediately looked in her direction as she
continued coughing.

"Jessica, are you alright?" Kandi asked, concern in
her face.

Jessica turned around to face everyone, who looked
worried. Especially Nick.

"I'm fine." She said, between coughs. "I think some of
my grape juice just went down the wrong tube."

She grabbed a paper towel and started wiping up the
mess she'd made. She listened, while the others
continued their conversation.

"As I was saying," Nick continued. "Why don't we go
visit Sean and tell him in person?"

"I think that's a great idea, Nick." Danny said, glad
that Nick had suggested it. "Let's do it."

"Not so fast, you guys." Drew's voice cut in. Everyone
turned to look at him.

"What's wrong, Bro?" Nick asked, looking at Drew
closely.

He could tell that something was up with Drew, but he
couldn't figure out what. He was thinking of asking
Drew, but he decided to let it drop and talk to Drew
about it later when they could have a moment alone.

"Have you forgotten that we have to promote our last
album?" He asked, reminding them all. "We have to go
on a few talk shows during the week, so that is not an
option."

"Damn." Nick, Jeff, and Justin all said, in unison.
They had all forgotten that little bit of information.

"Yes!" Jessica silently mouthed to herself. She
finished cleaning up the mess and returned to the
table with the rest of the guys.

"Don't worry, honey." Jessica said, as she caressed
Nick's face. "It's the thought that counts, right?"

"Right, babe." Nick said.

 Then, looking around at the rest of the guys, who
were still eating their lunch, he started to get up.

"Well, guys, I'm going to go upstairs and get ready."
He said, as he got up. "Finish up, and do the same. We
can't be late for the recording studio."

Everyone voiced their comments and started eating
again. Nick leaned over to Jessica, who was wiping
Nicole's mouth with a napkin.

"And I'll see you later." He said, as he gave her
another kiss. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Jessica said, smiling at him, as he
walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to their
room to get ready.

Jessica looked around the table and noticed that
everyone was looking directly at her.

"What are you all staring at?" She asked, defensively,
as she crumpled up the napkin she was using to clean
up her daughter's face.

She saw Drew, grinning from ear to ear. Then he spoke
up.

"Your jealousy is quite becoming!" He said, with a
laugh.

*******************************************************
BACK IN ORLANDO.............

Jake, Michelle, and I were sitting around the table,
eating lunch together.

Jake had asked Michelle to stop by and have lunch with
us, since he didn't want me to be alone. He explained
the situation to her and she was extremely supportive
and said that she'd be there for me.

I was grateful to both of them for their love and
support. They were great friends to have.

"So, Sean, what do you want to do today?" Jake asked
me. "The sun is out and the temperature is great. How
about we go for a swim? I know I'm up for going
surfing."

I thought that wasn't such a bad idea, but before we
did that, I had something else in mind.

"That's a great idea, buddy." I agreed. "But, first I
want to go shopping for a new swimsuit."

"That makes perfect sense." Jake said, grinning. "That
swimsuit you have now is so 'out'."

I kicked him under the table for that remark, which
caused him to crack up, laughing.

"Hey!" I said, smiling. "Don't go making fun of that
swimsuit? I've had alot of great memories in it."

"Oh, I'll just bet you have." Jake threw in, still
laughing.

I went to kick him again, but this time, he was ready
for it. I ended up kicking Michelle instead.

"Ouch!" she said, kicking me back, while giving me an
evil look. "That hurt!"

"Sorry, sweetie." I laughed. "That was meant for your
dumbass fiance there."

"Now, come on." Michelle laughed. "Don't insult my
man."

"He's a big boy." I said, grinning at Jake. "He can
take it."

"Speak for yourself, smartass!" Jake joked, as he took
a sip of his orange juice.

I shook my head, grinning ear to ear. I was definitely
feeling better. Jake had done the impossible. He had
managed to take my mind off of my broken heart and
helped me see that having fun with him and laughing
again, was definitely the best medicine.

"Well," I said, getting up and taking the dirty dishes
to the sink to rinse them off. "If we're going to go
to the Mall, let's get a move on."

"Alright, let's go." Michelle said, as she and Jake
got up and started getting their things together.

I finished rinsing off the plates and set them in the
dishwasher. I set the dishwasher to wash while we were
gone and went to my room to grab my wallet and keys.

When I came back out, I saw Michelle looking in the
mirror, next to the couch, applying makeup to her
face. I didn't see Jake anywhere around.

"Where's Jake?" I asked her.

"He ran back to our place to get everything he needs
and to lock up. He'll be back shortly." She said, not
pausing from what she was doing.

"Ok." I said, heading for the door. "I'll go and get
the car ready."

"Wouldn't you rather ride in Jake's convertible with
us?" She asked me.

"Sure." I said, stopping where I was, next to the
door. "It is a little too hot for my SUV today, isn't
it?"

"Yes, it is." Michelle said. "No offense, but we'll be
cooler alot quicker with the top down."

Jake returned, in his swimsuit, wearing a muscle
shirt, and sporting a pair of black sunglasses, with
beachbag in hand.

"Looks like you're ready to hit the beach." I said,
checking him out.

"Oh yeah." Jake said. "You ready, Michelle?" He asked,
looking at her.

"Coming." She said, as she closed her compact and
hurred to the door.

After we'd all exited, I locked up the house and
started walking with them toward's Jake's car.

Jake disarmed the anti-theft alarm, which chirped,
before he unlocked the door and we all piled in.

Michelle sat up front with him, while I took the
backseat.

Jake started the car and started pulling out of the
parking lot.

"And off we go." He said, as he drove us towards the
Mall.

*******************************************************
BACK AT THE LACHEY HOUSE.................

"What are you talking about?" Jessica asked, wanting
to know what Drew was implying.

"It's just too funny how jealous you are of Sean." He
said, a smile on his lips.

"I am not jealous of Sean." Jessica said. "Please,
don't make me laugh."

"Really?" Danny asked, grinning also. "You were
literaly choking on grape juice earlier when Nick
suggested we go and see Sean, earlier. Don't tell me
that was just a coincedence."

"Alright, fine, I won't." Jessica said, as she picked
up Nicole, who was starting to cry, out of her
highchair. "It just caught me off guard, that's all."

She stood there, with Nicole in her arms.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and change
Nicole." She said, as she exited the kitchen and
headed upstairs.

"Well, we'd better get going too." Jeff said, getting
up with his plate, which he rinsed off and put into
the dishwasher.

Justin, Kandi, and Danny got up and did the same. They
each handed their plates to Jeff, who put them in the
dishwasher.

Jeff then looked up at Drew, who was just sitting
there. He still had yet to finish his lunch.

"Since you're still not finished, will you run the
dishwasher when you're done?" Jeff asked him.

"Sure." Drew said, nodding. "I'm sure you guys can't
wait to get away from me, now that you all hate me so
much."

Jeff, Danny, Justin, and Kandi all looked at him when
he said that.

"Drew, come on." Jeff said. "We don't hate you. We
just don't like what you did to your brother."

"And Sean." Danny added.

"And you think I do?" Drew said. "How many times do I
have to say I'm sorry?"

Everyone else was silent for a moment. This time it
was Kandi, who broke the silence.

"We're not the ones you should be apologizing to." She
said, lowly.

With that said, she left the kitchen. Justin followed
her.

Jeff and Danny stayed behind. Drew looked up at them.

"I wouldn't tell Nick until we get through today."
Jeff said. "Wait until tonight to tell him."

"Jeff has a point, Drew." Danny agreed. "Besides, it
would be futile to tell Nick before the rehearsal
today. Otherwise, you guys won't be able to work on
the album, with all the tension."

"Right." Drew said. "We don't want that. Plus, it'll
give him time to think about what I'm going to say to
Nick when I tell him."

"Good." Jeff said. Then he put his arm around Danny.

"We'll see you in a few." Danny said, as he and Jeff
left the room, leaving Drew in the kitchen, alone.

"Dear God." Drew prayed. "Please, give me the strength
I need to tell my brother the truth. And please
forgive me, for I have sinned. Please let Nick forgive
me. Amen."

With that done, he looked down at his food. He was no
longer hungry. He got up and threw away the rest of
his lunch. He put his plate into the dishwasher and
started it.

He then went upstairs to get dressed and ready to head
to the recording studio with the rest of the guys.

*******************************************************
AT THE MALL, IN ORLANDO...........

Jake parked the car shut off the ignition. We all got
out and headed into the mall.

I'm going to go to "PayLess." And look at shoes."
Michelle said to Jake and me.

"Ok, babe." Jake said. "I will go with Sean to help
him find his swimsuit."

"How about we meet back here when we're done? and we
can get something to eat?" I suggested, since we were
near the Hot Dog Shoppe that was nearby.

"Deal." Michelle said. "See you both, later."

She walked off towards "PayLess" while Jake and I
headed towards our destination.

When we got there, Jake and I started looking around
at the swimsuits that were there. I looked around,
trying to decide which one I wanted.

"How about this one?" I heard Jake ask. I looked at
him and saw him grinning. I then looked down and saw
that he was holding up a speedo.

"Oh, very funny, asshole." I said, sarcastically, as I
grabbed them and threw them at him.

"Hey, I'm just trying to help." Jake said, laughing.
"There's no reason you need to be a bitch about it."

"Bitch?" I asked, mocking shock. "Oh no, you didn't!"

Jake laughed, which got me going too, as we looked
around at the different swimsuits. Then, I saw it.

It was a pair that looked like shorts, with side
pockets and back pockets, that were dark navy blue. I
thought they would look good on me. I picked them up
and held them up to Jake.

"What do you think?" I asked him. Jake looked them
over and nodded.

"I like them." He said. "Do you?"

"Yes." I said. "This is definitely the one. Let's go."

Jake followed me to the cashier counter. I paid for my
swimsuit and we left the store, in search of Michelle.

We found her, waiting by the Hot Dog Shoppe, near the
entrance. Jake and I were both stunned.

"That was fast, Michelle." I said, in amazement.
"You're usually in the shoe stores for 3 hours!"

"Shut up, smartass!" Michelle said, with a grin. "I
don't take that long."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, if you say so." I said,
sarcastically. "So, are we ready to hit the beach?"

"Hell yeah!" Jake said. "Let's go. The water is
calling my name."

We left the Mall and headed home.

When, we got there, Michelle went into the house to
change into her swimsuit. While she did that, Jake and
I went into my house to wait for her.

Once, we were inside, I opened the bag that contained
my swimsuit and I pulled it out.

"I'm going to go and put this on, Jake." I said. "I'll
be out in a few minutes."

"Go ahead." Jake said. "I'm going to wait for Michelle
while you do that."

"Suit yourself." I said, smiling as I walked away.

I walked into my bedroom and set about putting on my
new swimming trunks. I took off my shorts and
underwear and pulled on the trunks.

Once that was done, I turned around and took a glimpse
in the mirror, checking them out on my body. They
looked good!

"Cool." I said. "Now, let's get a second opinion."

I walked out into the living room, where Jake was
reading a magazine, while he waited.

"Well, what do you think?" I asked him. He looked
towards me and his eyes traveled down to my swimsuit.

"It looks good on you." Jake said. "Finally, you're in
style, once again."

"Oh, thanks alot." I said, laying on the sarcasm. "So,
are you ready to hit the water?"

"I am." Jake said. "But where is Michelle?"

Just then, Michelle knocked on the door.

"Looks like your question just got answered." I
laughed, as I opened the door.

"What took you so long, girl?" I asked her. "We're
dying to hit the water right now."

Michelle rolled her eyes.

 "Well then, let's go." She said, turning around and
walking out. Jake and I followed.

*******************************************************
LATER THAT DAY, BACK AT THE LACHEY HOUSE.........

The guys all piled into the house, exhausted from
being in the recording studio most of the day. And it
was especially hard because Drew was otherwise
occupied about something.

"Hi, guys." Jessica greeted them, as they walked in.
"How did it go?"

"It was grueling." Drew said, tiredly, as he sat down
on the couch.

"And who's fault is that?" Jeff muttered.

"Jeff, that's not fair." Danny said. "You messed up a
few times as well."

Nick collapsed into the chair and started rubbing his
temples. He was tired.

"Drew?" He asked, "What is going on with you? You've
been so out of it most of the day."

Drew sat up and sighed, in frustration.

"I've just got alot on my mind, Nick." He said, sadly.
"It involves you."

Nick sat up. Drew's statement had peeked his
curiosity. He definitely wanted to know.

"What's going on, Bro?" Nick asked him, a worried
expression on his face. "You look so serious."

Drew flashed a look at Jessica, who was standing
nearby. She rapidly shook her head, 'no' at him.

"Not here, Nick." He said, gesturing to the playpen
where Nicole was lying, asleep. "Let's go upstairs to
your room."

"Alright." Nick said, slowly. "But first, let me grab
something to drink. I'm thirsty."

"Ok." Drew said, as Nick got up and walked towards the
kitchen to get a drink.

As soon as he was gone, Jessica grabbed Drew's arm and
pulled him out of earshot.

"Drew, please don't do this." Jessica begged him.
"Please, don't tell my husband about what you did to
him and Sean?"

Drew just gave Jessica an annoyed look. He was really
getting tired of her trying to tell him what to do.

"Jessica, I have to tell him." Drew said, insistently.
"I can't live this lie anymore. Nick has to know the
truth, even if it means that I lose him forever."

"YEAH, WELL YOU'RE FORGETTING THAT I'M HIS WIFE!"
Jessica whispered harshly at him. "I HAVE JUST AS MUCH
TO LOSE AS YOU DO! MORE IN FACT, AND I AM NOT GOING TO
LET YOU DO THIS! MY DAUGHTER NEEDS HIM AND SO DO I!"

Drew just rolled his eyes at her.

"That's not what you're really afraid of, is it?" He
asked her. She frowned,in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" She asked him.

"You're worried that when Nick finds out that he's
going to know that you knew this as well and you
didn't tell him." Drew said to her. "You're worried
he's going to blame you too for you part in all of
this. Am I right?"

Before Jessica could answer him, they saw Nick coming
back in from the kitchen with a bottle of water in his
hand.

"You ready, bro?" Nick asked, looking from him and
Jessica.

"Yeah." Drew said. "Come on, let's get this over
with."

Nick started walked up the stairs. Drew shot one last
look at Jessica and the rest of the guys.

Jeff got up off of the counch and went over to Drew.
He pulled Drew into a quick hug. Even though he was
still angry with Drew, he still wanted him to know
that he was there for him.

"Good luck, Drew." Jeff whispered in his ear. "You're
gonna need it."

"Thanks, Jeff." Drew replied, as he started to get
emotional. "It means alot that you're there for me,
still, even after everything that's happened."

Jeff released Drew and walked back over to the couch
to sit next to Danny again.

"Nick's waiting for you." Danny said. "Go and talk to
him."

Drew turned around and headed for the stairs. Jessica
stopped him.

"Obviously, you're not going to listen to me." She
said, looking petrified. "So, if you're really going
to do this, I hope you realize that you're destroying
alot more than just your bond with Nick."

Drew just shook his head, annoyed at how irrational
she was being. He brushed past her and headed upstairs
to his brother's room.

He found Nick, sitting on the bed, waiting for him.
Nick stood up as Drew entered.

"Alright, Drew, we're alone now." Nick said. "Now,
will you please tell me what's bothering you?"

Drew looked at Nick for what seemed like the longest
time and then he walked over to him and put his arms
around his big brother's shoulders, and hugged him
close.

Nick was a little surprised by Drew's sudden
affection, but he recovered quickly and hugged Drew
back strongly.

"I hope you realize that there's nothing you can't say
to me." Nick said, patting Drew's back. "Whatever is
bothering you, it can't be that bad. We can fix
whatever it is. I love you. You know that, right?"

Drew pulled back from their brotherly hug and looked
Nick right in the face. Nick could see that Drew was
very torn up about something.

"Drew, you're starting to scare me." Nick said, as he
put his hand on Drew's shoulder. He saw the tears that
were running down his little brother's face.

"I'm sorry, Nick." Drew said, as he walked by him. "I
don't mean to. But I have something to tell you.
Something I should have told you a long time ago."

"What is it, Drew?" Nick asked him. "I know you said
that you had alot on you mind earlier and that it
involves me. Is that what this is all about?"

"Yes." Drew said. "And it also involves Sean too."

"What does Sean have to do with this?" Nick asked
Drew.

Drew couldn't say anything more and turned around and
walked towards Nick's bedroom window and looked
outside.

"God, this is so hard." Drew said. "Nick, do you
remember last night when you asked me about what I'd
done to Sean?"

"Yeah." Nick said. "And you told me that you wanted to
wait until today to tell me and since we had alot to
do today, you haven't had a chance to tell me anything
until now."

"Right." Drew said, turning around to face Nick.
"You're going to hate me for this, Nick. Sean already
does and that's why he beat me up.

"He never told me much about that." Nick said,
thinking back to the day he saw Sean in Orlando. "Just
that you had hurt him somehow."

"Do you remember two years ago when you found out that
your marriage to Sean wasn't legal? and how the
minister was a fraud?" Drew suddenly asked Nick.

Nick was stunned to say the least that Drew was
bringing up that part of the past and all of sudden he
was getting a very uneasy feeling. He had a feeling
that whatever Drew was going to tell him, he was not
going to like at all.

"Yeah." Nick said, slowly. "Why are you bringing that
up now, after all of this time?"

Drew took a deep breath, and he prepared himself to
tell Nick the awful truth. The truth that could
forever alter their relationship.

"Because, I'm the one who's responsible for your
marriage to Sean, not being legal." Drew admitted. "I
