"Oh, like you're gonna stop me?!" Ethan yelled to the person. "Damn right, you just better calm down!" Billy said letting go of Ethan's arm. "I guess Nick needs help fighting his battles....not man enough to do it on his own." Ethan chuckled. "Fuck you! I'm just worth something." Nick yelled. "Fuck you? uhmm, how about I just fuck her?!" Ethan said pointing to Melly. "You son of bitch!" Nick said going at Ethan. "Guys, Guys...stop!" Melly screamed as she stood in between them. "Watch out, baby, I don't want you to get hurt." Nick said pushing her to the side. "NO!" Melly said standing back in front of Nick, "He's not worth it, Nick. Please? Don't start this." Nick looked down at her sad eyes and couldn't help but stop. "Alright...for you, I will." Nick said. "Aww, how sweet, Nick takes orders from his woman." Ethan laughed. "Shut-up!" Melly yelled to him, "Haven't you done enough damage for one day?" "Uhmm...no. You're still not with me yet." Ethan smirked, "How about we talk about...uhm, that you said you 'loved' me?" "Ethan, I think you should go." Billy said pointing to the door. "Nah, this is just about to get good!" Ethan smiled at Melissa.
~Brian & Valerie~
Val and Brian took a long but productive walk along the sunset filled bridge and talked about their relationship future and of course, the events at the chapel. Towards the end, they both knew they could trust one another and both wanted to be with noone else in this world. They made a conclusion: They were staying together...forever, if possible. "This was a good idea." Brian squeezed Val's hand tighter. "Yea, we needed this time to walk along the water and talk." "I think we got alot out on the table during our walk." Brian said, "I know I love you more than ever." "Ditto, You're the one for me Littrell." Val smiled as she kissed her man. "So, what are you thinking now?" Brian asked. "I'm trying to think of what's going on in your head." Val laughed, "You've been acting alittle nervous since we talked about our future." "Well...I doubt you could possibly think of what I'm thinking." Brian said playing with a box in his pocket. "Oh, what are you thinking Brian Thomas?!" Val stopped and stared at him. "Nothing...It's a surprise I was planning to give you at Nick & Melly's after-wedding dinner. But that obviously isn't happening now." Brian sighed. "So, give it to me now." Val smiled widely. "I dunno...you think?" Brian smiled. "I think! Please?" Val said as she saw Brian lower to the ground. "Oh God, Brian, are u okay? Is it your heart?" Val asked concerned. "Baby, relax, I'm just getting on one knee." Brian laughed. "Oh, thank God you're only getting on one knee.....getting on one knee?!" Val swallowed hard, "What are you doing Brian?"
~Back w/ Melissa, Nick, Ethan and Billy~
"Grow-up! I told you why I said that! You even stormed off mad because of it!" Melissa cried out. "Why did you say that?" Nick turned Melly back to face him. "Well...because I was mad at you. Mad at you because of the whole CD thing and mad that you were so jealous of another guy around me." Melly told him, "I never meant to have Ethan hear it because it wasn't true." "Don't lie to him, Melly, it's not nice." Ethan said. "No, Ethan, you stop lying." Billy stepped in, "Melly loves Nick with all her heart. What she said were just words...she never acted upon them." "Yea, Ethan, If you have any ounce of love for me...tell Nick the truth." Melissa stared at him. Ethan stood there silent. Melissa was actually touching his heart. "Alright, Nick...She never touched me. She never came near me...I always went to her. And she doesn't love me...she loves you. She made that loud and clear to me." Ethan frowned. "Thank-you." Melissa said to Ethan. "C'mere baby." Nick said reaching out for Melly and pulling her into a hug, "I Love you." "I Love You too...and I'm sorry." Melly sobbed. "Don't be...it was a complete accident and it's in the past, ok?" Nick assured her. "Ok." Melly smiled as Nick wiped her tears and Billy chapped. "You kids are so beautiful." Billy laughed. While this was going on Ethan left the chapel whispering, "I'll break this lovey, dovey family when way or another." "Where'd our moms go?" Nick asked. "I had them leave when the little fight broke out." Billy told them. "Thanks...I owe you one." Nick patted his back. "Don't mention it. I'm happy that you & Melly are together again." Billy smiled. "Hey, where's Ethan?" Melly asked nervously. "I dunno, he must have left while we got all mushy." Nick laughed before he kissed Melissa. "I'm serious, Nick. I think he might do something." Melly said. "Like what?" Nick asked. "I'm not sure...but I know he wouldn't give up that easily." Melly sighed, "Where are Val & Brian?" "They went for a walk outside....why?" Billy said. "If he can't get to Nick & I, he'll go to the next best thing!" Melly yelled, "We have to go find them!"
~Back w/ Bri & Val~
"I'm trying to do something...something that I should've done before." Brian reached in his pocket and pulled out the black velvet box. "Oh No, Brian..." Val said. Valerie had issues with Marriage. She wasn't ready for this. What would she say to him?! "Baby, I have loved you since the first day I saw you. For the past year, you've made me feel alive. You're the only one I want by my side for the rest of my life. I Love you. So, Valerie Lachean...will you marry me?" Brian finished and waited. Valerie stood there as her stomach did flips. Brian was waiting for an answer...she couldn't just leave him hanging...she needed to say something....but what?! She didn't want to break his heart into pieces. "Brian...I, I..." she stuttered. "You what sweetie?" Brian asked just as someone interrupted. It was Ethan. Ethan was filled with anger and just wanted to ruin something...or someone. "Well, lookie here...it's Brian & Val in a special moment." He laughed. "Go away, Ethan." Valerie yelled. "No, I won't! I am tired of being pushed away!" Ethan screamed. "Calm down, man." Brian stood up and approached him. "I will NOT CALM DOWN BRIAN!" Ethan shoved him. "Hey, relax, we can talk this out w/o fighting." Valerie said. "I did enough talking with Melly & Nick and it cost me everything." Ethan said with anger filling his eyes, "It's time to get those two back!" "Whoa, man, let's go get some coffee and talk this out." Brian said sensing something could go wrong here, "I'm sure it's not that bad." "Brian Littrell...nice voice, beautiful girlfriend...to bad you just gonna have to pay for Nick & Melissa's decision to screw me!" Ethan said shoving Brian closer to the railing of the bridge. "Stop that!" Valerie screamed, "Please, Ethan, maybe we can go talk to Melly & Nick. We can work this out!" "What a sweet idea, Val...but NO! No more talking! It's time for action!" Ethan yelled pushing Brian even closer to the railing. "Alright, alright...anything you want...it's yours." Val yelled in panic. "Anything?" Ethan look back at her. "Yes...anything." Val said with tears in her eyes. "I want....You & Melissa to spend a night with Jason & me." "No, Val, don't agree to it! Stay strong!" Brian yelled. "I can't! Baby, he'll hurt you!" Val screamed back to her man. "She's right Brian." Ethan nodded. "I agree to it. Melly & I will do it." Val sobbed. As Ethan turned around to look at Val, Brian took this as his opportunity to get away. Brian kicked Ethan, where the sun wasn't shining, and Ethan winced in pain. Although, Ethan was still in pain, he still managed to maintain his grip on Brian, and grew angrier. "Oh, you just messed up big time, Bri-Bri!" Ethan yelled before he held Brian over the railing, "Any last words?" "Yes, I love you, Val." Brian said. "Aww, how sweet, now say 'bye-bye'!" Ethan said as he pushed Brian over. "OH MY GOD! BRIAN!" Valerie screamed and ran to the railing to see Brian splash in the water. "One down, three more to go!" Ethan laughed. "BRIAN! BRIAN!" Val continued to cry out. "Was that Valley screaming?" Melly asked Nick & Billy as the headed to bridge. "I think so." Nick grabbed her hand and ran towards the noise. "Oh No, maybe we're too late!" Melly cried.
