Brian and AJ gasped at nick's question.
"Nick? What the hell?" AJ asked in utter shock.
Brian just sat there in complete shock, looking at nick, who was looking at him with a smug look on his face.
"Brian is not gay. He can't be. He was raised better than to be a damn fudge packer." Kevin said.
Brian looked at Kevin in shock.
"No family of mine is gay." Kevin said.
"No family of yours is gay? Are you fucking serious? You would kick Brian out of your family just because he's gay?" AJ asked.
"Brian's not gay." Kevin said firmly.
"Brian is gay, Kevin." Brian said softly.
"You aren't gay, Brian. The Brian I know isn't gay and would never be gay." Kevin said his voice rising.
"I'm still the same Brian you know, Kevin." Brian argued.
"No, obviously you're not. You're a fag." Kevin yelled.
Brian felt his heart break into a zillion pieces. Tears yet again coming to his eyes. He looked at Kevin devastated before standing up and walking out.
"I sure as hell hope you assholes are happy." AJ said angrily getting up and following Brian.
AJ found Brian in the small bathroom sobbing. He walked in and shut and locked the door behind him. He turned the older man toward him and pulled him close, wrapping his arms around his waist.
Brian wrapped his arms around AJ’s neck and buried his face into the crook of AJ’s neck.
AJ moved one hand up and down Brian’s back soothingly while he ran his fingers of his other hand through Brian’s soft curls in hopes to calm his friend. He felt Brian’s arms tighten around his neck and Brian move closer.
"It’s okay, baby. I'm here. Let it all out." AJ said soothingly.
"It just hurts so bad." Brian cried into AJ’s neck.
"I know, baby." AJ said sadly.
Brian pulled away.
"I now know Kevin hates me. But why would nick do that to me? He's my boyfriend, let alone was my best friend." Brian said sadly.
"How's your relationship been lately?" AJ asked concerned.
"It was good at first. We talked and had fun. It was great. Then, he became distant. He hardly talks to me. Barely touches me unless he's in the mood. He always goes out. I have no idea what happened." Brian said sadly.
AJ looked down.
Brian noticed.
"What are you not telling me, Alex?" Brian asked.
AJ looked at Brian.
"I honestly don't know if anything is going on. I just have a feeling about something." AJ said.
"About what?" Brian asked confused.
AJ took Brian’s hand and opened the bathroom door and led Brian back to the entertainment room.
The other three were still in there. Kevin was standing glaring at nick, who was sitting in a chair still looking smug. Howie was still sitting on the floor confused.
"Nick, how long have you been cheating on Brian?" AJ asked.
"What?!?!?!" Brian exclaimed in shock.
The smug look on nick's face was wiped off quickly.
"How did you know?" Nick asked angrily standing up.
"Is it true?" Brian asked nick, hurt.
"How long have you been in love with Brian, AJ?" Nick asked in a cold voice.
Brian looked at AJ and saw AJ look at him.
"You love me?" Brian whispered.
"Yes. I have loved you ever since I first met you." AJ admitted.
Brian looked at nick.
"How long have you cheated on me?" Brian asked in a flat voice.
Nick looked at Brian.
"Almost 3 months." Nick said.
"That is how long we've been together. Was I just a piece of ass to you or did you actually care about me?" Brian asked sadly.
"Honestly? You were a piece of ass. A tight one too." Nick said smugly.
AJ threw back his arm and punched nick in the nose.
Nick fell back onto the couch.
Howie was up holding AJ back from nick and Kevin was in front of nick in case nick tried to attack AJ.
Brian stood there completely devastated.
"I wanna go home." Brian said.
The guys all looked at Brian.
"What?" AJ asked.
"The next stop this bus makes, I am going to go to the airport and go home." Brian said.
"What about the concerts and tour?" Howie asked.
"I'm not going to be there." Brian said.
"Why?" Kevin asked.
"What are you saying, Brian?" AJ asked.
Brian looked at them.
"I'm quitting backstreet." Brian said before turning around and walking out of the room.
