Part 3

Brian looked horrible. He was hooked up to several different machines. His face was cut and bruised, he had bandages covering his arms.

"Oh God," was all Nick could say.

Kevin stood up and pulled Nick into a hug. Still crying, Nick took a seat to the right of Brian.

"Is...is he going to be okay?"

Afraid to know Nick closed his eyes listening for Kevin's reply.

"Nick...Brian's in a coma." Kevin stated in between sobs.

AJ finished, aware that Kevin couldn't handle it. "Nick they said he could have brain damage when...if he wakes up."

Nick rested his head on Brian's bed and sobbed uncontrollably. Simultaneously Howie and AJ rushed to console Nick.

"This is all my fault," Nick moaned.

"What?" Howie questioned "how could this be you fault?"

"I yelled at him!"

"I'm the whole reason he left."

"The whole reason he got in a wreck"

"Nick, Nick no Brian was run off the road by some kid."

"How could it be your fault?"

"Who cares about some stupid fight the two of you had." Kevin reassurred, "He knows you didn't mean it."

"Kev...no you don't understand!"

"I wished...Oh God..."

"Relax, it's okay Nick, it's okay."

"Guys can I...um have a few minutes alone with Bri..."

"Nick don't do this to yourself!"

"Please"

The 3 exchanged glances.

"Alright Nick but just a few minutes."

As they left the room Nick turned his attention back to Brian. "Brian, Rok I'm so, so sorry. All of those mean things I said...I didn't mean...and if you come back to us I swear I'll make it up to you Bri, your my best friend and I couldn't stand to lose you. You mean so much to so many people. I mean your parents, Hal, Leigh, millions of fans, and us Brian. To me. I love you Brian please, please don't die!"

Breaking down, Nick held Brian's hand tight and silently prayed. "God please don't take him, he's to young. He has so much to live for. Please, please don't take him away from us. We love him so much."
Before he could finish a loud whining sound drew his attention up to a moniter.

Before he could even comprehend what was happening, the room was flooded with doctors and nurses.

A nurse escorted Nick out as he met with Kevin, Howie, and AJ. They watched through the windows as the doctors attempted at bringing Brian back to life. Each one pleading he would make it.

"No, no this can't be happening," Nick screamed.

"Nick, Nick"

He awoke with a jerk.

"AJ wh...where am I?"

"Uh...your hotel room."

"Brian, oh God where is he?" "Is he ok?"

"Relax Nick it was just a nightmare. We are gonna be late c'mon. We have 20 minutes, so get ready."

"I'll see you there Jay, I need to talk to Brian."

Racing through the arena Nick found Brian in their meeting room. He was sitting in a chair, his head resting on the table. Nick sat down and wrapped his arm around Brian. "Brian I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it, I swear."

Brian lifed his head up. "You were right, Nick I'm sorry"

"No Brian I was wrong please forgive me."

"Nick, you were right, really I thought about it and..."

Nick cut him off. "No Brian please just forgive me...I had this dream and..."

"Nick, Nick it's okay," Brian smiled, "I forgive you."

Nick pulled him into a hug. "I didn't mean to hurt you Bri...honestly."

Nick learned a valuable lesson that day, Be careful of what you wish for, it just might come true.

The End
