"YO NICKAY! LETS GO!" AJ yelled at his band mate and brother. "WE NEED TO GET TO THE VENUE!"
"OK AJ I'M COMING!" Nick yelled from the other end of the closed door. He opened the door and was met by AJ. The two walked down to the hotel lobby. They were met by Brian, Kevin, and Howie.
"It's the last show of the Black and Blue tour, do you really wanna be late?" Kevin asked ruffling the now 22-year-old Nick's hair.
"Kev quit it! You know I hate that!" Nick said half laughing half trying to be mad.
"That's why I do it Cuz!" Kevin laughed. They headed out to the van to go to the venue.
It had been 8 years since his stepfather was arrested and Brian's folks adopted him. A lot has happened in those 8 years. The Littrell's took him in like he was their own son. Not just brains immediate family but all of Brian's aunts, uncles, and cousins took him in. They were now his aunts, uncles, and cousins too. He has a family now.
Also the Backstreet Boys had become a big success. They have millions of fans all over the world. Once they became big all the fans knew about Nick's past. None of their fans looked at Nick any different. In 8 years the guys have been all over the world, sold millions upon millions of albums and have had many sold out tours. It is 2002 now and they are finishing up the latest tour. Then they will take a break and work on their next album.
Most of the scars he had as a child did heal over since he was so young when the abuse happened. Only the cuts that were really deep stayed. The one he hated the most was on his stomach where John had whooped him with a telephone wire. It sliced him right through the stomach. He was 9 when that happened. But that was in his past. He had a better life now with the Backstreet Boys and with the Littrells. Nick wanted to forget everything from his life before the age of 14, except for his mother.
But would the past forget him?
