Chapter 8
Justin walked up to Nick. Nick stepped
back,
“Nick I saw you at the party…and I saw
who you were with.” Justin replied angrily. Nick swallowed and nodded,
“Do you have a problem with that?” He
asked in return. Justin nodded and snapped his fingers. J.C came up to Nick and
handed him a small metal object. Nick looked down and shook his head at what he
saw.
“Will you not fight?” Justin asked.
Nick looked up into his eyes,
“Justin…” He replied. Brian took the
gun and emptied it till it had only one bullet in it. Nick stopped him,
“I will not fight…please.” He replied
holding out his hand to Justin. Justin stared at his hand and knocked it away.
Justin drew his gun out of his small holder. He pointed it towards Nick.
“Turn and draw!” He demanded. Nick
shook his head and turned away. He started to walk away. Justin ran after him
and knocked him to the ground. Nick grabbed his gun and pointed it at Justin’s
heart.
“I will not fight so be satisfied…be
satisfied!” He demanded. Justin knocked the gun out of his hands and kicked
Nick. Nick did not fight back. He got up and walked back. Justin followed and
kicked and punched him. Brian grabbed
the gun Justin had given him. He looked at it and threw it to the ground.
“Justin!” He yelled as his fist came into contact with
Justin’s face. Justin grabbed him and pushed him against a concert barrier. He
punched Brian. Brian punched him and he fell back into another wall. Nick got
up and walked over to Brian,
“You are a very brave man, my dear
friend.” He replied. Brian nodded Nick turned and saw Justin drawing his gun.
Justin walked up to Brian and pointed the gun in his stomach.
“Good night Brian.” He replied pulling
the trigger. Brian stepped back as the bullet entered. Nick watched Brian.
“Are you ok?” He asked. Brian nodded,
“I’m fine…I’ll be fine.” He replied.
Nick watched him closely. Brian turned and replied,
“A plague on both the groups.” At this
he turned and walked out onto the beach. Nick ran after him. Brian fell to the
sand and did not move. Nick knelled down next to him and lifted up his head,
“A plague on both the groups.” Brian
whispered. His eyes glazed over and he went limp. Nick’s eyes began to moisten.
“Brian! NO!” He exclaimed. He hugged
Brian’s body and held it tight. Justin and the rest of N*sync ran off towards
the car. Nick and his group stayed on the sand with Brian. Nick ran his fingers
through his hair. He got up and ran towards his car.
