» CHAPTER ELEVEN «

It was 2:00 in the afternoon. It was cold. There was nothing to do. I was moody and grouchy as well. "Brian!!! How the hell are we gonna use a f*ckin bathroom if there is no f*ckin bathroom?" I cried.

"Let nature take it's course," Brian replied.

"I have to f*ckin go so damn bad!!!" I cried. Brian shrugged and turned away. "Dammit Brian…I hate you," I muttered. Brian's shoulder's stiffened when he heard that. He turned around.

"Why don't you go cry to Nick," Brian answered. I gasped. Of all the three years I'd gone out with Brian that was the coldest, most sarcastic remark I had ever heard from him. I never knew "B-rok" from the Backstreet Boys could talk like that.

"You know what?" I cringed "That is the thing I want to do most right now," I thought of how Nick would kiss my hair and hug me tightly. I began to cry.

Nick would kiss and hug me. I thought, but Brian would hold me and gently rock me back and forth and sing me a song, one made up by him. I knew that even though Brian was irritated and I was irritated, I still loved him more than Nick.

Brian saw me cry and softened up a bit. "Emily…" he began.

"Save it," I said and walked away to try to find an area to pee.

I walked around for a couple of minutes and to my surprise I found a river. I was thrilled to see it. Could we drink the water? Or maybe wash with it? I put my hands in the water and tried to rub off the dirt crusted in my hands. I then washed my face. I quickly ran back to tell Brian what I had discovered but then I remembered his comment about Nick and me.

I walked back and heard music. It was in a smooth low voice. A soft hypnotizing voice. I exhaled. It was Brian's beautiful voice.

"I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life

Let me prove my love is real
And make you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me girl

The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to you heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart "

I leaned against a tree and sighed. Was that how Brian really felt? Or was he just bored and decided to sing? But it represented our relationship so well. I felt guilty for being so rude to him. I sank down and for the first time, I sobbed big gulping sobs. I was truly sorry for how I treated Brian.

Brian stopped singing when he heard noises. He cautiously walked around the trees to find out what it was. He gasped. Emily was leaned against a tree. She was sobbing loudly and her head was buried in her hands.

"I'm so sorry Emily," Brian whispered and ran back to the tent quickly.

"I'm so sorry Brian," I whispered in between my sobs.
