"Hey guys! Check this out and tell me what you think," Brian said strumming his guitar while the guys sat on the couch trying to watch "F.R.I.E.N.D.S."
"Okay," AJ answered turning his head in anticipation.
"Yo, Bri. Just a sec. Can we watch this first?" Nick asked.
AJ and Kevin gave him a wicked look while Brian continued strumming his guitar. "Sorry," Nick muttered and he turned his full attention on Brian.
The music started off strong and confident, it was purely beautiful. Brian began to sing in his thrilling voice that swept millions of girls off their feet.
"I try to pick the pieces up
I can't think of starting over
We used to share the stars above
I don't wanna think of change
And now I've gotta move on
I've gotta catch up to the world
Even though I gave you my life
As wrong as it seems I know it's right
But is there a place that I can go far away
To escape the love that I will forever know
Where can we go from here
All I know is that I love you still
Sometimes we do things against our will
I know I cried lonely tears
Where can we go from here?
Why, why do I cry inside
For love that's gone away
And how, how can I carry on
When I know all the love is gone
Where can I go to get away
From the pain of loving you
Tell me where." By now Brian had tears in his eyes. He finished the song with his eyes shut, holding back his tears. AJ and Kevin looked at each other in astonishment. They both knew this was going to work. Brian's song was extremely touching that there's no chance Candy would turn him down now.
Where can we go from here
All I know is that I love you still
Sometimes we do things against our will
I know I cried lonely tears
Where can we go from here?" Brian ended his song with an obvious hint of sorrow in his voice. He placed the guitar on the floor between his legs and opened his melancholy eyes.
AJ, Nick, Kevin, and Howie smiled. "It's beautiful, Bri. I'm proud of you," AJ said breaking the silence.
"Never heard anything like it," agreed Kevin.
"Frick, that was...WOW! I can't even find the right word to describe it. It was awesome!" Nick struggled for words.
"Thanks guys. I worked hard on it," Brian said as a smile spread across his face.
"You definitely did," said Howie. "Well, I think we better start getting ready for the show."
"Yup, we should." Brian's baby blues now filled with excitement.
