Subject: same old brand new you chapters 12-13

I don't know A1 or Adam Rickett. I do not know of their sexuality.

------

"OUCH!!!" Adam screamed. I rolled my eyes. I put the ice pack back on his
eye.

"Big cry baby." I said smiling.

"I can't believe he did that. I mean, what a dick." Adam said.

"Well, we were sorta making out." I said laughing.

"Well ya, but still." Adam said. "You seem very calm." Adam said to me.

"Ya, I'm just a little stunned. I mean, I can't believe he broke up with
me." I said sadly.Adam reached up from the chair and hugged me.

Adam and I walked into the dance hall. It was deserted except for 8
people. The other 3 bandmates were on the sofa's. The choreogropher's were
in another corner. We walked to the sofa's and everyone looked up with an
angry look in their eyes. I noticed someone else walk in the door next to
the sofa's. It was a hunk of a man. He walked to Paul and sat on his
lap. Then he kissed him. Oh hell no!!! I could do better than that. I
looked Paul in the eyes. I smiled. I turned to Adam and winked at him. I
took him in my arms and kissed him passionately. Then I turned to Paul and
smiled again. Adam and I sat down.

"We're not taking this shit." Christian said. "When you two start acting
like adults then we'll talk." Then Chris turned to Adam. "This is your
fault Ad. I love ya buddy, but you totally spoiled this band. I think ya
should quit." Then he turned to Paul's slut. "You get the fuck out!" He did
too. Christian was mad. Adam stood too and ran out crying. I gave Chris a
mean look. Chris and Mark left. Leaving the Choreogrophers and Paul and
I. The choreogrophers left also, going to practice a new dance routine in
the gymnasium.

"Why?" Paul said.

"We didn't do anything Paul. He kissed me!!!" I said. He had a tear coming
down his face.

"Then why was your tounge half way down his throat?" He said, crying a bit
more now. "And why did you two kiss a second ago.

"That was for you hitting Adam. And for being with that whore. Sure Adam
kissed me, and I admit I kissed him back, but it's you I love. Paul, it's
always been you!!!" I said. Now I too was crying.

"I love you too Ben, but..." He said. "I'm so sorry!" Paul said, breaking
down. I ran over too him and held him. "I'm sorry, I slept with that dude
baby." I kissed him on his forehead. "But I love you, not him." He said.

"I love you sweety. Please, can't we get back together? I'm in a big house
that isn't near as complete without you." He smiled.

"I wanna come home." He said. "But I can't live with Adam anymore. I don't
even think I can be in the same band with him." Paul said.

"I guess we have a group meeting coming up then." I said.

The whole group showed up at Paul and my house for the meeting. Every eye
was on Ben and Me. "We're back together." Paul said. He looked at
Adam. "And we would appreciate it if you left the band." He said
bluntly. Now all eyes shifted to Adam.

"Here." Adam said calmly. He handed a piece of paper to Paul. "I'm sorry I
almost broke you two up. I err, Well, I still love you Ben." Adam said to
me. "But your happiness comes before my lust and love. I just want ya' to
be happy. I don't give a shit about you though." Adam said changing his
eyesight to Paul. He motioned to the paper.

"What is this then?" Paul asked.

"It's my letter of resignation. I quit." Adam said. He got up and walked
out. I felt as though a piece of the puzzel was missing now. And things
couldn't work without it.

---------- chapter 13 ---------- "I love you Ben." Adam said.

"Mmm. I love you too." I said.

"I love you too." Paul said.

"Huh?" I asked. I shook my head, waking myself up.

"You love me then, do ya?" Paul asked smiling.

"Oh hell ya." I said smiling.

The next day we had to fly to Manchester for the Brit Awards. We were
walking around backstage when all of a sudden... "BEN!!!" It was Adam.

"Adam!" I said. I ran up to him and hugged him. "I missed ya bud." I
said. It was true. It had been half a year since Adam left. We had had a
huge hit song, our only single with Adam. It stayed at number one for 5
weeks because of all of the controversey around Adam's departure and our
coming out. We were up for single of the year. If we won Adam was to join
us onstage to receive the award.

"So, how's Chris, Mark, and Paul?" He asked beaming from ear to ear.

"They're good. Chris and Mark are still together. And Paul's just as goofy
as ever." I said smiling. "How are you?"

"I'm good." He said. "I still miss ya' Ben. I still love ya." He said. A
tear was already coming out of his eye.

I wiped away the tear. "C'mon now, don't cry. We still have to go onstage
and get our award." I said.

"You think we'll win?" He asked.

"We're a shoe in. I mean look who we're up against, Jennifer Lopez." I said
rolling my eyes. I laughed. It cheered him up. "Come sit with us." I said.

"Nah, I'm here with Noel."

"So you two finally hooked up then?" I asked.

"Sort of." He said. "But it's just physical. He has a huge..." I cut him
off.

"ADAM!!!" I shouted. I started laughing. "Manners!" I said laughing.

"Ben." He said.

"Ya?" I asked.

"Did you ever..." He gulped. "Love me?" I smiled.

"Well, ya Adam, I did." I said. He smiled.

"Thanks." He said smiling. I had a tear running down my face and he wiped
it away. "Now come un, we have an award to accept." He said smiling.

We walked back to our seprate seats. He sat with Noel and I sat with the
band. After a preformance by S Club 7 Kylie Minogue and Jack Ryder came
onstage.

"Ok guys, music has had a huge year tis year." Kylie started.

"And who could forget the in again, out again members of A1?" Jack asked
laughing. "I mean, first Chris leaves, then Adam joins. Then Chris joins,
and Adam leaves. It's like a big game of duck-duck-goose." Jack said
laughing.

"Hey, don't mess with them. They rocked as my opening act. I love you
guys. I have my fingers crossed for you."

"And the winner is..." Jack said. He opened it and smiled. He handed it to
Kylie.

They looked at each other then screamed "A ONE!!!!!!!!!!!" The audiance
cheered and stood. We all got up and walked to the podium. Adam joined us
halfway through. We walked up the stairs and to Kylie and Jack. They gave
us the award and stepped back.

"Wow, what an amazing year it has been." Paul started.

"Ya, amazing. We'd like to thank our manager, our choreogropher
Maddison. Err, Chris, who else?" Mark asked Christian.

"You can't forget your band mates can ya?" He said laughing.

I was next. "I'd like to thank our fans. They have been soooo amazing and
supportive, I love each and every one of you."

We started to walk away when I heard Adam start to speak. We had forgotten
Adam. "I'd like to thank..." He started. Then looked at Paul. "Paul." He
said. Paul smiled. "For kicking me out of the band for having sex with
Ben." He said. He looked at me and mouthed the words 'sorry.'

When we got to the car Paul looked at me. "You had sex with him?" He
asked. I nodded.

"The night we spent together when you left. But you screwed that dude." I
said.

"I don't care. This is too much drama for me, I'm out."

"Well then, I guess we'll just have to bare each other at work." I said, a
tear running down my face.

"No, I mean I'm out of the band as well." He said. Chris, Mark and I sat
there with our mouths open.
