“emma,” brian whispered walking into emmas room.

Emma looked up, “yeah?”

“come with me for a second,” he said holding his hand out to her.

She took his hand, “why are we whispering?”

“I want to show you something but we gotta be quiet.”

She nodded, “but we gotta hurry cause I need to finish getting ready and wheres your tie?"

“leighanne is looking for him. I think tyk chewed it up though,” he said pouting.

Emma laughed, “well im sure you can borrow one of the other guys.”

He nodded and stopped outside the door of one of the other hotel rooms, “k…look in there. I mean just peek in.”

“…whose room is this…?”

“ajs, don’t worry.”

“k,” she peeked around the door and glanced around the room. “bri, theres n…whoa…” she quickly pulled her head back out the room and looked at him wide eyed. “whats going on?”

brian laughed, “I dunno. I just glanced in there and saw that.”

“but I thought they hated each other…”

“so did i. Wait until I tell nick,” brian said heading back to the room.

“bri wait.” She rushed after him and grabbed his arm, “if they havent told anyone yet its because they arent ready.”

Brian pouted, “okay.”

“can you come help me finish getting ready? Nick seems to have disappeared.”

“sure,” he followed her back to the room.

“thank ya,” she said and went into the bathroom to put her dress on.

Brian sat down on the bed, “nick showed me that painting you gave him a while ago.”

“really? What did you think? He liked it but I didn’t think it was that great.”

“I thought it was amazing. Can I have one?”

emma laughed, “yeah, when we get back home you can have whichever one you want.”

“yay~~. So anyways, can I ask you something?”

“sure,” she said. She came out of the bathroom, “zip me up please.”

He zipped up the back of her dress, “how come you didn’t study art instead of photography?”

“thank you. Well I was offered a scholarship to study in italy but I decided I would rather do photography. I dunno, maybe one day ill go just for myself and study but right now im happy with what im doing.”

Brian smiled, “good cause I like having you around.”

“hey bri,” nick said walking into the room. He glanced at emma, “wow hi.”

Emma laughed, “hi.”

“I just came to help. I gotta go see if leigh found my tie yet,” brian said. He kissed emma on the cheek and headed out of the room.

Nick smiled and kissed her on the cheek, “you look nice.”

“thanks. So do you. Where did ya go?” she asked putting her shoes on.

“to get ya something,” he said.

“me?”

“uh huh.”

She laughed, “are you gonna tell me what it is?”

He handed her a rose, “that.”

“awww nicky that’s so sweet. Thank you,” she said and kissed him on the cheek.

He nodded and hugged her, “you bring me luck so I thought I would bring you something.”

“awww, well we wont say anything unless you guys take this award home tonight.”

Amanda walked into the room, “hey guys, the limo is here. You ready?”

Emma smiled, “uh huh, lets go.”

"hey this is our category," brian said as the presenter introduced the category their song was nominated in.

leighanne laughed,"yeah bri, we all know. shh."

the announced all the videos and showed clips. when it came to their video, nick looked down slightly so that he wouldnt have to watch knowing they would show a clip of him and emily.

emma glanced at him and gently squeezed his hand. she knew how much emily had meant to him and how much it had hurt him when she had died. as well as the fact that he was still grieving.

"and the winner is..." aaron said as he tore open the envelope. he smiled, "the backstreet boys."

the guys all stood up and gave their girlfriends and wives hugs before heading to the podium to accept their award. they hugged aaron and each gave their speeches. after they thanked the fans, the media, the family, the girlfriends, and each other nick was the last to speak.

he took a deep breath, "i dont have much to say but emily this is for you," he said holding the award up slightly before heading backstage with the guys.

emma looked down slightly and leighanne and amanda each reached over and took one of her hands.

she smiled it off and looked up,"im okay guys. she was an important part of his life and i understand that."

amanda leaned over and whispered to her, "and now YOUR an important part of his life..."

emma nodded,"ill tell him when we get back to the hotel."
