Chapter 7
Both Nick and Brian got too sick to visit eachother, but Brian would still get in the
wheelchair on his good days to go see his best-friend. Even if Brian wasn't in the
mood, he'd make himself be in the mood, he vowed to be there for Nick and that's
what he was going to do. Nick layed in bed and cried most of the time, except when
people were there to visit. Nick cried alone, not for pity for himself, but for others.
He cried for Brian, that he was going to die before his time. He cried for Brian for
the life he missed out on, the sports he couldn't play, the fear in him during his
surgery. He cried for Kevin, for his father being gone, he cried for Howie's sister,
cried for AJ, who was fatherless. He cried for his sisters and brothers, for Aaron, he
was only 12, it wasn't time for him to get aquainted with death. He cried for Aaron's
career he'd miss, cried for BJ, Angel, and Leslie. They wouldn't have their older
brother for advice, for a shoulder to lean on, just because. He cried for his mother
and father, they would have to give up their first son to the arms of God. He cried for his
fans, they were without a mentor. He cried for Brian, because he would have to live
without him.
"Brian sweetie!" Jackie yelled running in to his room. Brian rolled his head around to
see his mother with tears in her eyes, and joy in her voice. "They found you a heart
honey, they found you a heart!!!"
She held Brian as they both cried.
