"I don't want another girlfriend, EVER!" Nick screamed as he slammed down the phone. "What happened?" Brian asked, not sure whether Nick was in the mood to talk or just complain. "She's cheating on me! She claims I'm not around enough. She has what she called 'a woman's wants and needs.'" He sighed. "Isn't that just like a woman?" AJ strolled into the room. "Yeah I guess." Nick huffed sitting on Brian's living room couch. "Why can't I find someone like Breanna or Eve or Mya?" Nick asked Brian. "Or Rachel?" AJ asked. "No, not Rachel. She's a bitch. Sorry Brian, but she's gotta go. She's the same as Naomi. Hell, they're related!" Nick yelled out. Brian was staring at the floor comprehending what Nick was saying. "I know. We've been together forever and we've been through so much. It's just really hard to actually end it." Brian said quietly. "Sorry Brian. I'm just angry right now." Nick apologized. "It's not your fault. You're right. At least she isn't nearly as bad as Helaina." Brian sighed thinking about what Howie went through with that girlfriend. "No shit! I felt so bad for D. At least he has Breanna now." Nick stated. All the guys were sitting in Brian's large living room that had a very homey atmosphere. There were two large beige couches in the form of an "L". Brian's mother had picked them out for him when he first bought his house. In front of the longest couch was a large coffee table. It looked just like one he saw at one of the hotels they stayed at in Europe. A few yards away were three lay-z-boy recliners positioned around the front of the couches, an entertainment center off to the side that Rachel picked out for him, bookshelves built into the walls, and various pieces of artwork on the walls. It was very simple, very Brian. "Well, D saw that Witch the other day." AJ commented sitting back in one of the recliners. "He did!?" Brian asked in shock. "Yeah. It wasn't pretty. That was the night of your party, Bri." "He never said anything. So, she's back in town?" Brian couldn't believe that Helaina would move back to Orlando. "I guess so. D's only worried about Breanna finding out about her once she moves here." AJ wasn't really in the mood to talk to Helaina. As far as he was concerned, that bitch should have been ran over when he had the chance.

After ten minutes of silence, Nick's face lit up. "I got it!" He said excitedly. "Huh?" Brian said in a daze. He had been thinking about how he would break up with Rachel. "I don't know about the two of you but I'm gonna call the airline. I'm goin' to LA, baby! We have two weeks off. Orlando is basically where we work. I wanna get away from work and Naomi. Kev and D found the perfect women from LA. I might as well go and see what's out there. At least I know I'll have fun. It's a non-stop party!" Nick had already jumped up and gone into the kitchen to grab the phone book. "Who's coming?" He asked flipping through the pages. "Spontaneous Frack? This is new! Count me in." AJ said still sitting in the recliner drinking a beer. "Hmmmm...." Brian said to himself. "Nick, don't make the reservations yet. Let me make a phone call first." Brian said slowly in deep thought. He picked up the phone and dialed a few digits and waited for a few seconds. "Hello, Rachel? Hi Hun!" He said like he was in love. Nick looked at his friend with disgust while AJ watched Brian with a smirk on his face. "Yeah, I'm just calling to let you know that I'm on my way out the door to Los Angeles with Nick and AJ. No, we're going alone, Rachel." Brian stated in the sweetest voice he could make. "I know I'm forgetting something..." he said thoughtfully. Nick could hear Rachel's voice on the other line yelling at Brian. "Oh yeah, Nick's single now. He and your cousin broke up, but wait, no, that's not it..." Brian continued. "Oh yeah! I'm single, too! It's over. Good-bye, Rachel." Brian said smiling as he hung up the phone. "Nick, don't you have a few plane tickets to reserve?" Brian asked running up the stairs to go pack his things. "YEAH!" Nick screamed while he dialed the airlines.

"I'll see you both at the airport in about 2 hours?" AJ questioned getting up to leave. "Yeah, it's 6 o'clock right now. The plane leaves at 9 so be there on time, Bone!" Nick shouted from the kitchen. "No problem. Mya left yesterday for Germany so I don't have any explaining to do. See ya!" AJ called out as he left. "Nick, don't you have to pack?" Brian asked walking down the stairs with two suitcases in hand. "All my stuff I'll be needing is here." Nick commented as Brian nodded his head. Nick had been staying with Brian for the past few weeks because it was easier to go to the studio from Brian's house instead of leaving from his place in Tampa. "It's weird to be single again. I don't think it's hit me yet." Brian stated as he put down his bags and looked around the house. He made a quick mental note to call the neighbors to find out if they could feed his pets. "It'll hit us when we see Kev and D with Eve and Breanna." Nick said with a soft laugh. "Those love birds will make me sick!" Brian joked sticking a finger down his throat. "You're a dork!" Nick joked. "I'm gonna go pack up my stuff and call my parents to let them know that I'll be gone. Should we call D or Kev?" Nick asked. "No, let's surprise them. We can plan a graduation party for Bree and Eve." Brian said smiling. He had grown to love both girls like sisters. Breanna was much closer to him and AJ and Eve was closest with Nick. "Eve will love it! I have a few things for her. She wanted to know what Quit Playing Games would sound like remixed with a harder edge so I did it!" Nick was proud of his effort. "You made QPG sound like a hard rock song?" Brian asked cracking up. "Yeah, man. Actually it has more of a Nirvana meets Depeche Mode feel." Nick commented as he walked upstairs to get his bags. "Let me hear it!" Brian said. He was very curious about what the song would sound like. "No! It's for Eve. She gets to hear it first." Nick never told Brian about his pet project and he had a strange feeling Nick had a small crush on Eve. "Hey Nick, Eve has two sisters. One's 23 and the other is 18." Brian commented. "Really? We'll have to check them out." Nick wasn't really paying attention to Brian. "Yeah, and one's half pig and half woman!" Brian joked to see how well Nick was listening. Nick was in the guest room folding his Tommy Hilfiger jacket and placing it in his suitcase. "Cool!" Nick commented. Brian was laughing at his friend. "What?" Nick asked as he came out of his daze. "You weren't even listening, Frack." Brian joked. "Sorry man. I just wanna get out of here." Nick stated. "Do they have Play Station?" Nick asked Brain. "I dunno. Why? You're not going to have time to play anything." Brian teased Nick. "You're gonna be looking for girls, remember? You'll be too busy drinking, partying, and havin' sex!" Brian said laughing. "Maybe this whole being-single-again thing is just what *you* needed." Nick told Brian with a smirk on his face. "Maybe. We'll see!" Brian tossed over his shoulder walking out of Nick's room to his own.
