Disclaimer: Yes, I totally know the Backstreet Boys and they told me all of this right before we all had a huge, massive orgy at Kevin’s house with his wife watching and video taping us! Get a life people! This is not real and probably never will be so if you believe it is... you have big issues my friend. I am not doing this to encroach on copyrights and/or slander any of the people I am writing about. This is for fun and not for profit.
Summary: Kevin makes a mistake one too many times and Nick has had it.
Warnings: Angst, suicidal thoughts, fighting words. You have been warned.

I used to be your boyfriend and
I know I did it well
Oh yes you know its true
You'd call me Cinderella
All you had to do was yell
And I'd be there for you

“You aren’t serious about this leaving me crap are you?” Kevin asked as he lover packed his belongings into a suitcase.

“Oh, I am definitely serious about this.”

“But why? I don’t understand.” Kevin said honestly perplexed by his actions.

“Kevin, you treat me like a slave. Your personal Cinderella.”

“No I don’t.” Kevin stated as if he really believed his own answer. All he received from the younger man was a look of disbelief and disgust.

“Yes, you do. Ii am not your equal. According to you I am inferior.”

Here I am
so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairy tales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough
I'm not going to stay

“What if things changed Nicky? You love me and you can’t deny that… Can’t we work it out?”

“Yes I do love you but sometimes love just isn’t enough and no we can’t work it out Kevin. How are we going to work this out without communication?”

“We communicate.”

“No we don’t. When I try to speak to you or with you, you brush me off as if what I have to say couldn’t possibly be important.” Nick almost yelled.

“That’s not true Nicky. I value your opinions.”

“What opinions Kevin?” Nick asked. “The ones you’ve never heard?”

From time to time
I'd try to tell just what was on my mind.
You'd tell me not today.
Come back, do that.
Well, Cinderella ah...
was all you had to say

“Nicky… you can’t go.” Kevin’s voice had softened considerably and he now almost whispered.

“Why’s that?” Nick asked standing in front of Kevin.

“Because I don’t know what I’ll do without you. You’re my world and I love you. I’d be lost without you.”

“Oh well Kevin. You should have thought about that before you decided to act like the asshole you are.” Nick’s voice was cold, bitter, and emotionless. All compassion was gone from his eyes.

“Nicky, please.” Kevin said as he let a few tears fall. He found himself now practically begging.

“Don’t even go there, Kevin. I know you’re a great actor, you’re not fooling me with your superficial tears.” Nick said keeping the coldness in his voice.

Here I am
so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairy tales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough
I'm not going to stay

Nick picked up his bags and headed downstairs and out the door. He reached his car, opened the trunk and set half of his stuff in. The rest still lay back in Kevin’s room, he would have to go back upstairs and then bring the last load down.

He walked back upstairs and grabbed a hold of the two remaining suitcases before turning around to face a tear stricken Kevin.

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Ahaah, But Cinderella’s got to go

I'm sorry just trying to live my life
Don't worry you are going to be alright
But Cinderella is got to go.

“You’re going to be alright Kevin. You obviously don’t need me.”

“I do and did and always will need you. You’re a part of me whether you like it or not Nicholas!” Kevin sobbed.

Nick had never seen Kevin break down like this. Maybe this affected Kevin more than he thought.

You used to say I want you
You cast me in your spell
I did everything you wanted me to do
But now I shout
First your reasons why you lie to me
I wont be blind you see
My love it can't be sacrificed
I won't return to you

“Kevin, I’m leaving no matter what so save your tears for someone who’s willing to buy them. That fool isn’t going to be me.”

“You have turned into a bitter, sadistic man Nicholas. Maybe I am better off without you.” Kevin said as to intentionally hurt Nick.

“Guess who made me what I am right now? You! Goodbye Kevin!” Nick said then gently kissed Kevin’s lips one last time.

I'm so sorry
I've already made up my mind

I won't return to you

I'm sorry to say
I'm running away now
Don't worry you will be alright...

I'm running away
I've made up my mind now
you're going to have to let me go

Kevin watched from the window as Nick got into his car and drove away. It was the end of an era, a relationship… a life. He looked down at his cut wrists as the blood seeped out slowly.

‘Soon it’ll be all over.’ He thought

The End.
