What Happened
Chapter-2
"Let's get this shit over with" Aaron Carter strode in with `his' manager,
Dan Butler. He sauntered over to the mirror to check his appearance. He
stood well over six feet, with spiky blonde hair and big brown eyes. His
swimmers build was starting to show some definition . He was especially
full of himself today, after the autograph session the label had set up
just for him .
"I love being loved," Aaron gloated, stepping over Nick as if he was barely
in existence. Howie turned his head away from them.
"Aaron, your over an hour late and we haven't had a chance to warm-up yet!"
Brian practically screamed at him.
"That's too bad, because you guys really need it!" Aaron sneered "I'm
really tired of carrying this band"
Kevin rolled his eyes as he helped Nick off the floor .
Aaron whipped around in time to witness this. "What the hell are you two
doing!"
"He's just helping me up Aaron" Nick said quietly.
Aaron squinted his eyes as he heard Kevin whisper under his breath.
"What was that Kevin?"
"I said....."
"Kev, please?" Nick jumped in.
"NO, I want to hear what he said!" Aaron shouted, his face turning red.
Kevin started to speak until he looked in Nick's eyes and saw him pleading
with him. He knew as long as the threat of Nick losing his family was
present, he had to play by Aaron's rules.
"I said....we have a concert to do"
He walks out and slams the door, disgusted with himself for letting Aaron
win again.
Dan starts toward the door "You have five minutes before huddle-up, I
suggest you all get ready" He left the room .
The guys leave to meet the rest of their entourage for the pep talk and
prayer before the show.
Nick heads over to Kevin, who is sitting off to the side.
He lowers his body down to the arm of the chair. "Hey"
Kevin continues to check his mic cords and his pads as though he doesn't
hear Nick speaking to him.
Nick sighs, "I know your mad at me over this, but what can I do? You know
why I can't say anything" Kevin continues to ignore him. "At least say
something to me."
"What do you want me to say?" Kevin answers without looking up. "To be
honest, I don't know why you take this, your twenty-five years old. I think
your old enough to understand that they don't accept you for who you are
and move on." He finally looks up into Nick's eyes. He sees the pain that
has been there for far to long.
He reaches over and pulls Nick onto the couch. "Would it be so bad to have
them out of your life?" Kevin intertwined their fingers . "I know your
worried about how it will feel to lose them, but think about how they make
you feel when your around them! They don't respect you and their always
after your money or your connections. The only reason Aaron and Leslie got
record deals in the first place was because of you. I remember the first
big check we got for `We've got it going on'. She took it before you even
saw it and spent it . That's the way it went till you were eighteen. When
she realized she couldn't legally just take your money anymore, she played
the family angle. As much as you don't want to believe it, they are using
you baby"
He sees the tears in Nick's eyes as the words sink in. "It wasn't always
like that" Nick whispers.
"I know" Kevin wipes the first stream of tears away. "That's the way it
will be from now on, if you don't take some action. I'm not saying shut
them completely out of your life, just let them make the move to correct
things with you!"
Brian comes over to let them know they are about to go on . They all line
up at the end of the curtain. "Make me look good" commands Aaron.
The six guys known as the Backstreet boys took center stage amidst a mass
of screams. The curtain rose as the music for `Popstar' began to pick up
speed. The boys performed a decade of songs. The hits from all five albums
with a few new ones . The end of the concert was now upon them, they
prepared for the beginning of `My life so far', the number one song in
America. Brian started the verse with Kevin and Nick blending in the
background . All the boys came in at the chorus . Howie stood from his
stool as his solo verses came out. He looked out into the crowd and sang
with all his heart. He recovered his seat as the rest of the guys came in
to smooth out the chorus . Brian looks over, preparing to hear the
beautiful sound of AJ voice, when a slightly out-of-tune voice sprung out
from the air. Everyone turned to look at AJ. He sat with a look of total
shock when he realized his mic had been turned off. There in all his glory
was Aaron Carter disgracing AJ's part with his squeaky voice. The guys
looked on helplessly as AJ began to shake. Brian sprang to action and grabs
AJ's arm to lead him backstage before he explodes. Brian is a little afraid
as he sees the rage in AJ's eyes. The rest of the guys try to finish the
song without Brian and AJ.
Brian manages to get AJ safely into the dressing room. He gently lays him
upon the couch. Brian watches for any sign life, as AJ stares off into
space. Several minutes go by without a sound as Brian trys to get a
reaction from AJ. He breathes a sigh of relief as the door swings open and
the three `original'members, slowly walk in.
Howie takes the seat next to AJ. "How's he doing", he asks as he begins to
rub AJ's back.
Brian shakes his head, "He hasn't said a word and he doesn't respond when I
speak to him".
"AJ" Nick says quietly from behind him. He reaches out to put his hand on
AJ's shoulder when Aaron and Dan come charging in.
Aaron yelled, "Are you guys trying to ruin me?" he asked selfishly. "It
sounded off with two voices missing." "It sounded off because of you
asshole" Howie shouted "Who gave you the right to take AJ's part" "The
record company thought it would be a better idea to have the favorite one
sing the most parts." Dan came to Aaron's rescue. "The song is number one,
which means you will perform it for a while . The fans want Aaron, that's
what they will get" He emphasized the last part. A smirk spread out on
Aaron's face "That also means that there will be additional changes on most
of our songs" "Like hell it does, your not taking us off any songs. Fans
are used to our versions, especially the older hits. How can you explain
that to them" Kevin had risen and was now practically on top of Aaron. "As
long as they know it `s for me, there won't be a problem, old man" Aaron
leers towards Kevin, daring him to make a move. Everyone watched as they
stared each other down. The tense moment ensued until Kevin walked slowly
behind himself, never breaking the eye contact. Aaron smiled in victory as
Kevin lowered his head into his hands. As Aaron turned to head out with
Dan, a small voice could be heard repeating "twelve years...."
