Chapter 1 - How Do I Live Without You?
It had been two days since Nick found Crystal. He stayed at her bed without moving. Every time he would think of the men who did this, he would get angry and curse aloud. She still hadn't woken up. She was in a really bad coma and doctors said it would be a while until she would wake up. The police had posted a sketch of the man Bernie described from the concert on the news. Fingerprints were taken from her body as well as other things by a medical examiner. They were then given to the FBI and tested. The night of February 29th, Nick got what would help him sleep better at night. He was watching the evening news while sitting by Crystal's side. "We have breaking news tonight on the rape of Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter's girlfriend. 4 guys were arrested earlier when the FBI gathered the fingerprints of the suspects. John Mara, Jeff Brooks, David Darcy and Rafael Jameson are in a federal prison awaiting trial for the rape and beating of the young woman. And also the murder of a 14 year old girl. Her name can not be disclosed. We will keep you updated on this story later on." "Very sad. Our hearts go out to Nick and his girlfriend." the other reporter said. They went on talking about a fire and some other things. Nick looked to the door to see Brian looking at him with a huge smile on his face. Nick got up and gave him a hug.
"I am so relieved! You don't know how much." "Yeah I do. Why don't you go get something to eat and I will stay with her okay?"
"Okay Bri." Nick got up and walked down to the cafeteria. Brian was now sitting at Crystal's bedside with her hands in his. He silently said a prayer and kissed her hands. She looked really bad, and he didn't know what to think.
"Crystal? If you could hear me, please wake up. We all need you. Nick needs you." he sat in silence until Nick appeared in the door. "Thanks Bri."
"No prob. I am going back to the hotel, I need some sleep. See you later.
Call me if she wakes okay?"
"Okay Bri." Brian got up and walked silently out the door. Nick walked over
to Crystal's bed. He grabbed her hand gently and kissed it softly. "Crys.
Please wake up. I need you." Nick started to cry. He never thought that while
on tour, his girlfriend would be kidnapped and beaten. He kissed her bruised,
swollen lips and nuzzled up against her neck.
