To preface, this is the original epilogue to my story "Don't Wanna Lose You Now," which was my second "published" fanfic. (Actually, it was my fourth, but the first three stories were a trilogy, so I tend to think of them all as one story... this was my first story separate from that.) I wrote it in 2000, right around the time I turned 15. It was my first "cancer story," and I would like to think that writing Broken was a way of counter-acting its awfulness. LOL

Anyway, to summarize, Brian has leukemia or Hodgkin's or something (I don't even remember LOL) and needs a bone marrow transplant, and he gets one from his mom, but he rejects it and needs another, and NICK just happens to be a perfect match for him, so Nick donates his bone marrow to save Brian's life. So that's all good and cheesy and horribly unrealistic and teeny, right? But that's not all! Because I'm me, and because I wasn't really that big of a Nick fan back then, I had Nick die of complications from the operation to harvest his bone marrow (bad reaction to the anesthesia or something). I devoted about two sentences of story to a mention of his funeral. And if that wasn't bad enough, here's how I ended the whole story.

This is the original epilogue, in its entirety:


Epilogue

Brian and Leighanne got married on August 14, 2001. They took a long honeymoon in Europe.

The Backstreet Boys decided to take a long break. They didn't know what they were going to do. They didn't want to go on without Nick, but they didn't just want to quit either.

The next year, they released one more album, dedicated to Nick. After that, they went their separate ways. AJ became a solo artist, and went by the name of Johnny No-name. Kevin became a music producer. Howie became the owner of a record company. Brian went to college and got a teaching degree. He became a P.E. teacher. He and Leighanne had two children, Brianne and Nick. He lived a wonderful life with his family, and his cancer never returned.

Eventually, he got over Nick's death. Nick had died, but Brian knew that he and Nick would be reunited one day in Heaven. Then Frick and Frack would be together again.
