Author's note: Hello! Finally, this chapter is out. As always (and forever!) thanks to everyone who read my story and another thank to all people who send me mail in addition! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! ;D

You know that thing: I don't know any of the BSB, Backstreet Band, Firm... and I don't know their sexuality and yadi yadi yada.... Don't read if you aren't older enough to, and if you don't like homosexual stories... are you lost or silly?

I know that I like many stories but I can't help it! Anyway, I advise you these ones: "Nick and Brian", by JC Vascardi "Open Arms", by Carter "Because I love you", by Lucas Thompson "The Body Switch with Nick Carter" by Sher "The Project" by Adam "Any Path", and all the sequels, and "Interludes" by Dara Lynn "Star Crossed", "Sucks to Be You" and "I Need You Tonight" by Jo Beth Hill "It's Gonna Be Me" by Jamie "Say my Name" by Jo Beth Hill and Colleen "Heaven in yours eyes" by Beck "Chances are" by Red "Josh and Just" by AJ Shukla "Just One Call" by Sarah "Tearing Up My Ass" by Rick Chasez "Kevin and Dustin" by Nick Moore "Little White Lies" by Elly Iles "Calming Waters" by NCfan "Devotion" by Angel1313 "The Real Nick" by Kevin Michael "God Must Have Spent" by AJ B. "Secrets", "Hands Of Time", "The Call" and "The Shadow's Riddle" by Kit "Shape Of My Heart" by MJ "Loneliness Knows Me By Name" by Cody "Before The Storm" by Gking and "Blood Angel" by Nathan Wolf

You can also check out my other stories "Together Again" (I don't know when it will be back, sorry), "Porcelain" and the second part "Send Me An Angel", "The Snow Will Be There", "Whispering Wind" and "Happy Birthday!"

BY THE WAY, I know I'm late with the chapters of the other stories, but on Friday 6th April, Silver and Gold Pokemon were out in France. (I may be almost 19 years old, but I love that) So I'll have a hard time to be concentrate on the stories 'til I finish the game! So, the next chapters can (but not sure) be late.

Remember that English isn't my first language! So sorry for the errors that I may did!

Fate Will Gather Us Together Chapter Fourteen By Sophie V. (wind_phoenix@hotmail.com, wind_angel@myplace.com)


"You can tell us EVERYTHING, guys. Remember that we're best friends. It really doesn't bother me that you're gay."

"I'm agree with AJ. We'll always be there for you like you were there for us."

"Thanks a lot, guys. It's mean a lot to me... And to Gene and Nick."

"No prob." Said AJ "Just be careful while we're in public, okay?"

Brian just smiled and nodded. They were all in a limousine and were going back to the hotel. Nick was lying between Brian's legs, against his chest, sleeping, Brian's arms around him. Kevin, Fred and Denis were beside him. Gene was sleeping against Mark's chest, in the same position as Nick. AJ and Howie were beside him, watching the two boys sleeping.

"Ya know..." said Howie "If we didn't know it better, it would be impossible to know who was who."

"Yeah, that's right..." said Fred, smiling "They're like big babies."

"My baby..." whispered Brian as he slowly stroke Nick's hairs. Nick smiled a little in his sleep and cuddled more against him.

"I only hope that everything will be okay..." said Mark, sighing "I mean... Gene doesn't have lover anymore."

"It was for the best." Said Fred "You heard him, and I understood him. He wasn't really in love with Brian. He just liked him a lot."

"It was the same for me." Said Brian "I liked him too... But I just hope that he won't be alone for too long. He deserves someone."

"Mark, maybe you can be this someone." Said Denis.

Mark, who was watching Gene sleeping looked up to him, confused.

"Uh? Sorry, I didn't hear you." He said

"I said that you could be Gene's boyfriend." Said Denis "After all, you like each other a lot."

"What?! Me dating Gene?!" said Mark, surprised. Brian mentioned to be quiet, as Nick and Gene were sleeping. "Sorry... but why are you thinking that?"

"Well... since you know each other, you're almost always together." Said AJ, shrugging. "Maybe Denis is right."

"Sorry, but nope, I won't be Gene's boy." Said Mark, smiling. He looked down at Gene and smiled. "You know, I always wanted a little brother, someone I can take care of. I never like the fact to be the youngest of the family. Since I knew Gene, I thought that I have finally found this little brother. I liked Gene a lot; he's very smart, talented and kind. Despite all the sick jokes that I could say, he always smiled or laughed about it, he was never disgusted."

"Gene likes you a lot too." Said Fred "I think he considers you as his new best friend. Remember that he never had a real best friend."

"Really?" said Howie.

"Ya, almost all his friends let him down when they knew about his sexuality." Said Fred, sadly.

"That sucks, man." Said AJ "How can you hate someone only because of his sexuality?"

"Some people are really nut..." said Kevin, shrugging.

"Gene is a great guy." Said Brian "You can be proud that he considers you as his best friend!"

"I am." Said Mark, smiling.

"Beside, now that I think about it, it's better that you're best friend and nothing else." Said Kevin "You're almost 8 years older than him."

"Age doesn't count." Said Brian "I'm 5 years older than Nick."

"It's different." Said Kevin "You don't consider him as your kid. I consider Nick as my little kid... If I were dating Nick, it would be as if I was dating my own son! Yuck!"

"You and Nick, Kev?!" said AJ, laughing "What a joke!"

They all laughed a little and a few minutes later, the limo stopped in front of the hotel.

"Nicky, time to wake up..." said Brian gently as he slowly stroked his left cheek. Nick didn't move and was still snoring a little.

"I think we'll have to carry them!" said Mark, laughing. Gene wasn't waking up too.

"Come on, just shake them!" said Kevin, rolling his eyes, as he exited the limo.

"No way! They need rest." Said Mark as he exited the limo with Mark in his arms. Brian, with AJ's help, exited the car, while caring Nick. They all went in the hotel and went toward the elevator. Since it was very late, there weren't a lot of people in the hallway. Just the receptionist and some people. Brian couldn't help but to blush as he carried Nick while Mark was just smiling, not embarrassed at all with Gene in his arms.

"Well..." said Brian in relief, as they were all in the elevator "I won't do that everyday!"

They all laughed a little and Fred said, looking at Gene: "It was so great how he was fighting?"

"Hell yeah!" said AJ, smiling "I had the impression to see an episode of Buffy the vampire's slayer!"

"I wish I was there to see that." Said Denis. "I understand why he's so tired."

"By the way, him and Nick switch room, as Gene and Brian were in the same room." Said Kevin.

"Gene can go in my room, tonight." Said Mark "I don't really know why, but there's two beds in it... Anyway, I don't really won't to see him sleeping alone tonight."

"Okay, but that let an empty room." Said AJ.

"I'll take care of that." Said Kevin "I'll see the receptionist later."

"Okay!" said Mark as they all exited the elevator and walked on their floor. "Well, good night everyone!"

"Good night." Said everyone before they all went in their rooms. AJ actually opened Brian's room and Denis Mark's one since they couldn't do it.

Mark thanked him and slowly lay Gene down on one of the bed. He took off his shoes, socks and pants and pulled the covers up to his shoulders. He went in the bathroom and after taking a good shower, he went back in the room in his boxers. He looked at Gene and smiled. He was sleeping peacefully.

"Good night, little bro." He whispered, smiling, as he went in his own bed and switched off the light.


Stepping out of the bathroom in his boxers, Brian looked at the sleeping beauty in his bed. Nick was quietly sleeping, the covers up to his shoulders. Brian just smiled and climbed in bed with him. He switched off the light, and pulled Nick in his arms as he kissed his head.

"Good night, my love..." he whispered as he fell asleep a few minutes later.

Everything seemed good for everyone... even for Gene who slept quietly not far from his new best friend. Little did he knew that tomorrow would be a day to remember...


Gene opened his eyes and shut them almost immediately as the light of the morning sun went in his eyes. He turned around and opened his eyes. Mark was sitting in his bed, full dressed, watching TV. He slowly sat up and looked around him, a bit confused. The last thing he remembered was that he was in a limo with his brother and friends and then... nothing.

"How did I get here?" he said, a bit confused. Hearing him, Mark turned off the TV and looked at him, smiling.

"Hello, Genie." He said, "Sleep well?"

"Yeah... but how did I get here?"

"Well... you fell asleep in the limo and I carried you in my room, that's all." Said Mark.

"You carried me? Why didn't you wake me up?" he asked, blushing a bit.

"Well, you and Nick wouldn't wake up. So Brian and I carried you and Nick."

"Nick fell asleep too?"

"Yeah, you should have seen Brian! It was damn funny to see him embarrassed to carry him in his room!" said Mark, giggling.

"I can imagine that..." said Gene, smiling "So Nick and him slept together?"

"I suppose, now that they're a couple..." said Mark, shrugging. He saw Gene smiling as he stared in space. "Why are you smiling?"

"Oh, it's just that... well Nick and Brian were in love for so much time, so I'm just happy that they're together. I like to see my brother happy..."

"And I'd like to see you happy too." Said Mark "You're sure you're okay? I mean..."

"Mark, I'm fine. I have you and the other guys." Said Gene, smiling. Mark smiled too, glad to hear that.

"Well... how about we take breakfast in our room? Just us. I'll tell the other guys."

"Sure, why not?" said Gene.

"Okay..." he said as he got up "Don't move, I'll tell them."

"'Kay, and I do the call..." as he reached the phone on the bedside.

"Don't stay up and wait for me..." sang Mark as he exited the room. Gene just giggled and dialed a number.


As he woke up, Nick felt himself surrounded by warm. Warm of the covers but especially... warm of a body. He opened his eyes and couldn't help but to smile as he saw Brian sleeping peacefully in his arms. He leaned and slowly kissed him on the lips, feeling so safe with him. Brian responded slowly to the kiss, as it gradually became more passionate. A few moments later, Nick broke the kiss, lying on top of Brian, smiling.

"Good morning, Brian." He said as he kissed his neck.

"'Morning, Nick." Said Brian "How are you felling?"

"Better in your arms..." he said before he lightly kissed him on the lips. "Much better..."

"Good..." said Brian. They just looked at each other, saying nothing, just touching and smiling. Then Nick frowned slightly and looked around him.

"What's wrong?" asked Brian confused as Nick sat up.

"This isn't my room..." he said, "How did I get here?"

"Gene and you switched places." Said Brian "He's actually in Mark's room which have two beds."

"Oh, okay." Said Nick "I wonder how he feels..."

"Who?"

"Gene. I wonder he felt better. He fight like a devil yesterday night."

"But he had only small bruises, he said he was totally fine." Said Brian.

"You and Gene are my heroes..." said Nick, smiling as he put his arms around him.

"For Gene, I understand, but why for me?" asked Brian, smiling also.

"I just love you so much." Said Nick, shrugging. They both giggled a little before Brian pulled him in another passionate kiss...


"Okay? So we'll see ya all later." Said Mark.

"No problem." Said Kevin. "See you later."

"Later!" said Mark as he walked out of the restaurant. He just told the other guys about Gene's and his breakfast. As he walked in the lobby, he remarked a tall guy talking to the girl at the reception. Not wondering what they're talking about, he started to walk away but stopped dead as he heard a name.

"Sorry sir, but Gene Wiser can't be see. I have strict instructions."

He turned around and continued to listen to the conversation.

"There's no way that I can talk to him?" asked the man.

"No, I'm sorry sir." Said the girl, shaking her head.

"Okay..." sighed the man "But can I leave a message?"

"Yes you can." Said the girl.

"Wait!" said Mark to the man. The girl and the man looked at him as Mark continued.

"I'm Mark Bettery, Gene's roommate." He said "Even you really can't see him, I can give him your message."

"Really? It would be very kind." Said the man, taking a letter from the pocket of his coat.

"No problem, man." Said Mark as he took the letter. Before he walked away, he asked: "By the way, what's your name? Gene will want to know from who is it."

The man smiled slightly and said: "If he believes what I write, he'll know it."

Then he walked away. Mark stayed here, a bit confused as the man walked away. "Who could he be? He's very strange." He said, confused. He looked at the letter, put it in his pocket, and walked toward the elevator.

"Oh well, I'll know that later... By the way, he's very cute!" he whispered.

As the elevator's doors opened, he saw Fred and Denis exited it.

"Hey, 'morning, men, how are you?" he asked.

"Very fine." Said Fred "By the way, where's Gene? He's not with you?"

"We're taking breakfast in our room." Said Mark. They talked for about fifteen minutes, about everything that happen yesterday.

"Well, I must go... I'll see ya later guys!" said Mark.

"See ya!" said Fred and Denis as he walked in the elevator. About five minutes later, the breakfast was in the room.

"Good, I'm hungry!" he said as he took some food in his plate.

"Yeah, me too!" said Gene, as he ate. As they continued to talk, Mark never mentioned the letter from this stranger, too busy talking about some things else.


"Another day here?" said Fred.

"The next concert is tonight at this same city." Said Kevin "We'll only leave in two days."

"Okay... so what can we do, now?" asked Gene.

Before someone could answer, someone knocked at the door. Fred got up and opened it and Peter entered in the room with a bag.

"Since you have nothing to do for the next hours, it would be good for you to answer these letters." He said as he put a bag in the middle of the room, full of letters. Then he left.

"So, I suppose you have some occupations." Said Denis smiling. The guys just smiled and everyone sat in a circle around the bag. They all took a letter from it, even Gene, Mark, Fred and Denis and read them.

"Hey, bro, this one is for you." Said Gene. "'Dear Nick, I'm 17 years old and I'm a very good looking so can you be my boy? I wrote my full name, address and phone number. Call me, baby! I love you!'"

They all giggled and Brian took the letter from Gene's hands and put it beside the bag.

"Too late, he's mine, honey!" he said in a girly voice. They all just giggled and continued to read the letters.

"Hey, it's from someone who was at the concert last night." Said AJ "Listen: 'Hey guys. I really loved your concert! It was wonderful! I'll be at the next one tonight! Hey Nick, I also remarked, as I was very closed to the scene that the guitarist REALLY looks like you. Same physic, same hair... Did it was on purpose? I love you all!'"

"Someone will be punished!" said Mark as he ruffled Gene's hair. Gene pushed his hand away, giggling.

"Sorry, but I totally forgot to dye my hair." Said Gene "I won't forget tonight."

"You better, that's a chance that this fan send a letter!" said Mark, giggling. Then he remembered something. "Oh! I totally forgot! Someone gave me a letter for you, this morning."

"Who?" asked Gene as Mark pulled a letter from his pocket and gave it to him.

"'Don't know." Said Mark "He said that you'll know once you read this letter."

Gene looked at him for a few moments, confused, then he opened the letter and started to read it.

"By the way, guys, where are the next concerts after Charlotte, on the 26?" asked Mark "I forgot what the next cities are."

"Atlanta and then Philadelphia." Said Kevin "After Atlanta, we'll have to go to the Superball, in Florida."

"Great! I hope that New York will win!" said Denis, smiling.

"Don't dream." Said Fred, grinning. Denis just slapped him lightly on his arm.

"Atlanta..." said Brian, frowning "I'm not glad to go there."

Nick pulled in his arms and kissed him on the cheek, understanding his feelings. To go to the city where your ex-wife lived wasn't a pleasure.

"You know, we'll go a lot of time in Atlanta." Said AJ "I hope you'll feel better until then."

"Yeah, sorry." Said Brian "It's just gonna take me time."

"I understand." Said Howie.

"By the way, are we going to Houston?" asked Nick.

"No, why?"

"Well... that's where Gene lives. I'd like to meet his family." Said Nick.

"You're sure that it would be a good idea?" asked Fred.

"Well, yes. After all, his mother knows that well met each other... by this." Said Nick as he showed his golden locket.

"What do you think, Gene?" asked Mark, turning toward him. Gene wasn't moving. Then, they saw the letter slowly falling on the floor. Gene still didn't move or said anything. Mark frowned and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, Genie, are you okay?"

He felt Gene shaking and finally, he looked at him. The guys gasped as he saw him crying.

"Gene! What's wrong?!" asked Nick as he sat beside him. Gene ignored him and still looked at Mark.

"Mark..." he whispered "This... how was the one who gave you his letter? Do you remember?"

"Uh..."

"PLEASE TELL ME!!" he screamed. The others were a bit straddled by his outburst.

"He... he was..." said Mark, having difficulty to speak.

"Tell me!" said Gene, still crying "Does he was about 6'3'' with short dark hair, a beautiful pair of sapphire eyes, and a beautiful smooth skin?"

"Yes, he was like that. Since I was closed..." Mark hadn't had anytime to say something else as he saw Gene fainting.

"GENE!" said Nick as he took his unconscious brother in his arms. "Answer me!"

"He fainted." Said Kevin "Put him on my bed, Nick!"

Nick nodded and with carried him toward the bed while Fred took the letter.

"He must had had a bit shock." Said Kevin as the guys, except Fred, went toward the bed. "He'll be alright."

"I hope so." Said Nick, worried, as he sat on the bed beside him. Brian also sat beside him and put his arms around him.

"Fred!" said Mark as he sat on the bed beside Gene on the other side "What's this letter?"

"I was about to read it." Said Fred.

"We're listening." Said AJ as the others nodded. Fred nodded also and started to read it.

"'Dear Gene,

If you read this letter, that's mean that I couldn't talk to you because of some reasons. It's going to be hard for you to hear that. I don't know if you'll believe it, but I have to tell you that I'm here. I'm alive. I survived. Listen, I really want to talk to you about it, to see you... to hold you and kiss you. I never stopped loving you, Gene. After what happened, I had amnesia. I couldn't remember a single thing except you. The first and only thing that I remembered was you. The fact that I loved you and that you were my boyfriend. I had a hard time to remember something else, but a few months ago, I have all my memories back. I missed you so much Gene. I'm here, at Fort Lauderdale, and I want to see you. I already see you at that Backstreet Boys' concert, last night. You were wonderful, you played so good, I'm very proud of you. I'll be at your concert tonight and I'll try to be at the backstage after the concert. I hope to see you soon. I love you, always and forever,

Jeff David Dawner.'"

"Jeff?" said Howie frowning. "Who is..."

"JEFF!!!!!!!!" they all screamed except AJ and him.

"Whoa, guys, who is Jeff?" asked AJ, panicked.

"He's Gene's boyfriend!! The one who was supposed to be dead two years ago!" said Nick, dumbfounded.

"WHAT?!" said both Howie and AJ "But it's impossible!!"

"This is his name!" said Nick as he took the letter from Fred's hands "Jeff David Dawner! It's his name, Gene told me so!"

Then, they heard a small moan. They looked at the bed, and saw Gene sitting up.

"Gene, you're okay?" asked Brian. Gene looked at him curiously and then remembered what happened.

"I didn't dream, did I? Jeff is alive?!" he said, as he looked at everyone in the room, his eyes wide opened.

"Well, if this isn't a joke, yes." Said Denis.

"It can't be a joke, it's his handwriting!" said Gene.

"How do you know? You remember after two years?" said AJ, confused.

"I have a picture of him and me in my bag. He wrote something on it." Said Gene as he got up. "And Mark confirmed his description!"

"Calm down, Gene. Don't stress too much." Said Nick as he put his hands on his shoulders.

"The hell I'm calming down!!" said Gene, angry, as he pulled his hands off "The only man I ever loved in my life is alive and in this city and you want me to calm down?!"

"I... I'm sorry..." said Nick.

"What are you going to do, Gene?" asked Kevin while Gene tried hard not to cry again.

"We must do two concerts before we leave, right?" he said, trying to sound calm.

"Yes... one tonight, and another tomorrow. Why?"

Gene said nothing for a few moments, took a big breath and expired slowly to stay calm, and finally said: "That give me less than two days to find him..."

**************************************************************************** To be continued! Jeff is alive! Will Gene find him in time? You'll see in the next chapter! As always... feedbacks are welcome! :) E-mail: wind_phoenix@hotmail.com OR wind_angel@myplace.com (write FWGUT or the entire title, as you wish) See ya! :) Sophie V.
