" You ready!" I yelled up the stairs to Justin.
" Ya, I'll be down in a minute" ' O god what do I do, I never had these feelings before. Can't this be easier? Ahh! Whatever happens, happens, I'll just go with the flow' Justin thought.
" Ok lets get a move on." Justin said as he bound down the steps.
The ride to Josh's house was pretty quiet. A little too quiet. As we went I was getting the impression that Justin didn't want me around, or that he was pissed at me for some unknown reason. Once we were about fifteen miles from Joshes house we entered traffic. Heavy traffic. There was a car accident and the cars were backed up for miles. So, we waited, there was nothing more that we could have done. As we waited we talked about how their tour went and I told him on how I spent most of my summer. About an hour later we arrived at Josh's house, over thirty minutes late, were all the guys were to meet. Except when we arrived we were greeted not by the guys but by a note.
Hey you two we waited as long as we could. We tried to call but of course Justin probably forgot his cell, call us later and we could all hook up.
Sorry again, JC
" Ahh shit!" Justin huffed out.
" It's ok Justin. If you just want to take me home, so you could catch up with them later."
" Hell no, why would I want you to go home. Do you ever think that I like hangin with ya. Or do you think that I'm to good for you. Ya know you don't get it do you.!" Justin yelled out.
I must say, I was a little shocked at Justin's attitude, but why would he just wanna hang out with some boring person.
" GET WHAT!!!!! That you would want to hang with me? I was just saying that if you didn't want to just hang with me that I won't mind going home, it's just I'm not use to hanging around with such a high status person."
" O is that what you think of me as ' a high status person', well I'm sorry Mr. Model, why don't you get out of the car and forget you ever met me!!!!!"
" OK!!! Fine I will, no harm done to me, ya know what, I actually thought you were different. But I guess you're just like all the others. Stuck up on yourselves."
SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shut the car door.
And I was gone. I got out and started to walk, only hoping to find a cab. I just didn't believe that we just got in a huge fight over something little. I wonder why Justin was so tense and that made him flip.
So I walked, and walked, till around three hours later a red jeep came pulling up besides me flashing his lights and honking his horn. ' Who the hell is this idiot' I thought to myself.
" Hey there need a ride?"
" JC, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Justin told me kind of what happened. We talked for about a half hour and I said I would come out and look for you and take you home."
" Thanks, but I'll just walk."
" WALK!!!!, man its over thirty miles, come on I'll give ya ride."
" Ok, I guess your right."
The ride home was pretty uneventful, just that Josh really didn't know why Justin got so pissed off, Justin just told him that he was in a bad mood and that he released his heat on me. Could have fooled me.
" So what did you guys end up doing tonight?"
" We went to the movies and then I got a message from a balling Justin. He said that he really needed a favor and he asked me to come over as soon as possible."
" Wow, he was really crying? I wonder what was bothering him so much?"
" I don't know, by the has been acting strange since he drove you off the road."
" I don't know either, hopefully he can work it out. I would like him better if he didn't flip out so easily."
" Turn here Josh, I'm about a half mile down," I stated.
" What the hell, why are all those fire trucks and stuff down there?"
" O my god that's my apartment complex, what the......"
I jumped out of the jeep and ran to the front of the smoldering building, fire personal hurried and grabbed me before I could set a foot on the ground around it. While I fought with the realization that my home, if you could call it that, was burnt down, Josh ran to one of the fire officials and asked what had happened. It turned out that someone on my floor let the toaster on and it somehow started the fire. Everything was gone. It went up like a match the one fire fighter told us. I was still in shock, but Josh was level headed enough to get the information that I would need. He calmed me down, got me into the jeep and started to drive. I on the other hand just sat there and tears began to stream down my face, as I asked, " Where are we going?"
" My house, you need to rest, and we could handle this tomorrow."
The rest of the ride was quiet, except for my sobbing and Josh saying, it will all be ok. ' Ya, right it will all be ok'. I cried myself to sleep while on the ride home. Once at Josh's house he picked me up and carried me into the house and set me in his spare bedroom. The rest of the night I was passed out, exhausted over the events of that night.
As I lay there I began to dream. I dreamed that I was standing in a black room and that there was a man's figure at the end of the hall saying the he loves me. It was weird; it continued most of the night and didn't end till early morning.
Josh on the other hand called Justin.
" Hello"
" Justin, Its Josh, did I wake you?" " No, what's going on and what are you doing calling me so late at night?"
" I found Scott, walking home, I gave him a ride. Once we got to his place it ended up that someone on his floor left a toaster on and it started a huge fire and the whole building went up in flames. Justin nothing was left, so I brought Scott back to my place and he's sleeping now."
" O my god, how is he?" " Is he ok?"
" He's ok, just really upset, he cried the entire ride home till he passed out."
" Josh, I gotta talk to ya I'm coming over, so stay up."
CLICK....... Justin hung up and Josh just sat there wondering what he wanted to talk about. And why he had to talk face to face with him and not on the phone.
About a half hour later there was a soft knock on Josh's door. He guessed Justin didn't want to wake anyone, because it was so late at night. Josh walked over to the door and answered it.
" Hey Just, what's up?"
" Listen I gotta tell someone, and it mine as well be you."
" Ok, lets go sit in the den."
" Ok, lets talk, what's been bothering you so much that you had to tell me face to face, instead of on the phone" Josh asked.
" Ok, well earlier today when I brought Scott back to my place I told him he could use the guest room to get changed and take a shower. Well I forgot there was no towels down there, so I ran down to give him one. When I opened the door I caught a glimpse of Scott in the shower, and I stared."
" Ya, so what, where you taking this Just?"
" Josh, this is so hard to say, its weird. I don't know."
" Ok, well take it slow buddy, it will all be ok."
" Josh, I think I like Scott, more then a friend, I think I'm attracted to him. Josh, I think, I think...... I'm gay."
" O wow, Just, well............... this won't change anything between us, I just wanna get that out, you know I have nothing against that. I swear."
" I know, but there's more. Today we went out to eat with Scott's friend Bode. And at dinner when Scott went to the bathroom, Bode told me that Scott was gay and that he has a crush on this guy James, I think its Lance. But Lance isn't gay, and I don't know what to do. JC I'm so confused!"
"OK Justin it will all be ok" Josh said as his friend began to shed tears, JC then hugged Justin to comfort him."
"It will be all ok, just calm down and get some sleep."
" And JC there is one more thing. You said that there was a fire at Scott's apartment, right?"
"Ya, Why?"
" When we were there, I put a piece of toast in the toaster oven and I forgot about it, and we left. I think it be my fault that Scotts place burnt down......."
" Holy shit, Justin. What the hell were you thinking?"
" I know I know JC what am I gonna do?"
" I don't know what to tell ya, you are gonna have to come up with the answer to that one, but for now I think you should try to get some sleep, it's already four in the morning."
" I guess your right JC, could I stay on the couch?"
" Ya no problem, I'll get you some blankets and pillow and I'll be right back."
"Ok"
As JC went to get the pillows and blankets, Justin tip toed over to the spare bedroom door and peered in. There in front of him lay an exhausted Scott, ' I'll make it up to you, I swear I will' Justin thought to himself.
The next morning, I awoke to the smell of eggs and bacon, frying in the kitchen. I pulled myself up and realized that, yes, last night was real and that I didn't have a place to live at for at least a few weeks. So I got out of bed, grabbed my cloths from the night before and headed downstairs. As I stepped down the stairs I could hear that there were two voices at the kitchen table, and one of those voices was from Justin, 'what the hell does he want now' I thought to myself.
" Morning guys" I said.
" Hey Scott, how ya doing, sleep ok?" JC stated.
" Ya pretty good actually, for just having all your belongings burnt to the ground, pretty good."
" Ya, I am really sorry to hear that Scott" Justin stated.
" It's ok Justin, it's not like it's your fault or anything," I said.
" Ya, I know, that's what I wanna talk to you about. JC can we have some privacy?"
" Ya, I gotta go to the store, Ill be back within the hour." JC stated.
JC left the house in a flash, which left me and Justin to talk about whatever was bothering him.
" Listen Just.." I was stopped by Justin putting up his hand to stop me.
" No I gotta go first." Justin stated.
" Ok" I said as I waited for him to start.
" Ok, first of all I want to apologize for yesterday, I was an ass to make you get out of the car and walk home. Sometimes I don't understand that being a " celeb" can do to other people. Secondly, I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna say it. Yesterday before we left your apartment I threw in a piece of toast in the toaster. I forgot about it and I left it in there after we left. It might be my fault that your building burnt down."
I was shocked. For one I wasn't expecting Justin to come out like that and apologize, or even have the guts to tell me what he did and the outcome of his actions might have been. I began to cry.
" I know that this is probably a shock and all, but because of my stupid actions and shit, I wanna offer you a place to stay till you get yourself back on track, and I wanna take you shopping for some new shit. Me and JC already talked about it." Justin said.
" You really want me to stay at your place, I mean I don't wanna be like a freeloader." I said through the tears. " Justin, Its so hard I don't believe it. I can't believe that this is happening, I feel like my whole life is crashing around me."
" It will all be ok Scott, don't worry, you have me here to help ya."
" I don't know Justin I just feel like I am intruding on you if I stay at your place.
"No Scott, I insist. It's the least I can do, I promise I will make up everything that I have done wrong. I feel like I knew you from the day I met you, and if you don't wanna be my friend I will understand."
" Come on Justin I can't do that to you. Plus I like shopping with ya, I have fun no matter what we do. It's just weird to think sometimes that you and me are really friends. That's all." I said playfully.
"So what do you think, Scott, will ya take me up on my offer, it's the least I can do?"
"Ok, if you insist, I guess I could find some type of job around here and get a foot up. It's just real weird that all my shit is gone." I said.
" Ya, I can't imagine how bad it must be, but I just wanna let you know that I am here for ya." Justin said sincerely.
" Thanks Justin, ...for everything, I don't know what I would do without you. We cool again?"
" You bet we are, now lets go take care of the lawyer business and shit, Ok, I'll drive." Justin stated.
"Why don't you go home and get some new cloths on and I'll wait here till JC gets back and I'll take a shower. Then we can go"
" Sounds good, see ya in about a hour and a half."
Later that day.............
I sat around while Justin went to go get washed up and ready before we went back to my place to deal with the layers and the landlord. As I sat there wondering how the next few weeks would be, my concentration was disturbed by JC's car door shutting.
" Hey J what's up?" I said as he walked through the door.
" Nothin much, how did the chat with Justin go?"
" It went well, I am gonna be spending the next few weeks at his place."
" O, that's cool, hey Scott could we talk for a minute?"
"Ya, sure, Justin wont be here to pick me up for another hour."
" Ok, well, last night I called Justin to tell him that I found you, and I also told him about the fire."
" Ya I know he told me everything, like how he thinks it might have been his fault because of the toast and he apologized for making me walk home last night."
"O that's good, I was hoping he would tell you that. But there's more that I want to tell you. The other day when you and Justin went for lunch with your friend Bode."
" Ya what about it?"
" Well, this is kinda hard to say, but while you away from the table, Bode told Justin that you were gay."
" O"............."Well....I guess I shouldn't hide it anymore."
Do you want me to leave JC, I don't want to make this an awkward moment?"
" No, No!!!! That's not it. I don't care about your sexuality. I like the way you are. I have nothing against that, actually I believe that that's your choice."
"OK, then what's the problem?"
" Bode said that you were hooked up on some guy named James, What I was wondering is that James Lance Bass?"
" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! O I knew it would work. No, No, you see when I met you guys Bode was all up on me tryin to get me to go out with him. Well Bode is cute, but not my type. And yes I am hooked up on someone, but it's not Lance."
" O, Ok, I was worried there for a moment, because Lance is not gay. Well I think he isn't anyways."
" Well ya see the reason I told Bode that I had a crush on James is because if I told him the true person he would have known who he is."
" What? What are you saying here, who is this "James"?" Josh asked.
" James is actually... Justin,.......See if I told Bode his name was Justin he would know it was Justin from N sync, because I just told him that I met all you guys. You see I didn't want anyone to know about my crush on him... please don't say anything, I just like him so much, but I dont want to ruin our friendship. I feel like I could tell him anything, and we get along so well, just please Josh promise me you wont say anything." I frantically pleaded.
" Your gonna be living with him Scott. Shouldn't you tell him?"
" I should but I can't. I haven't even told my parents, Bode and you are the only ones who know."
"Well Justin knows, Bode told him."
" I know, but maybe he won't say anything. If he knows I'm gay that's ok. But if he knows that I have a crush on him he probably gonna beat me up"
" Justin isn't like that. I'm not gonna say anything, it's up to you if you wanna tell him. I promise not to say a word."
" Thanks JC, I owe you one, we cool?"
"Ya, we cool"
"Cool about what" Justin said as he walked in thorough the door.
" Cool, about Scott borrowing some of my cloths while he gets himself back up and going". JC backed Scott up.
"O, So Scott you ready to get going?" Justin asked.
" Going? Where you two going?" JC shot back.
" I'm taking Scott for some cloths and then we are goin to see if anything was saved at the apartment, and then we are gonna go see the lawyer." Justin answered.
" Ok, well I'll see you two later, we should all go out for dinner or something" JC said.
" Sounds good, see ya later JC" I yelled as we left the house.
' God, why did I have to get in the middle of this?' JC thought to himself. He thought long and hard about the whole situation, and decided he had to tell someone, and get their advice. But whom would he tell.
The rest of the day was actually pretty fun. Justin and I went to one of the biggest malls in Florida. There we bought so many cloths.
" Yo Justin what do you think of these jeans?" I asked.
" There great! I like the sandblasted look to them" Justin said.
We spent a good four hours of intense shopping. By the end of the day Justin had to have spent well over a thousand dollars on me. I told him that I had enough, but he kept insisting I get this and that. We went to the lawyer's office and went though all the paper work necessary for me to get out of my lease and get some of my deposit money back. Unfortunately there was nothing saved from the fire. Too bad there were a lot of nice cloths in that box I lived in. But it didn't matter, what matters is that I wasn't in the house when it went up in flames.
As we were driving home I turned the radio down and said, " I gotta ask you something."
" Ok, shoot."
" Justin, right now I think of you and the guys as some of my only friends. I mean there is Bode and some of the guys and girls at the gym, but true friends, na not really. So I think we should be honest with each other."
" Ok, that's cool, I think you're a great friend as well Scott."
" So I wanted to get something off my chest. Ya see Justin, I'm gay."
" I know, Bode told me, I'm cool with it. Don't worry about it, we are friends no matter what."
" Ya sure?"
" Ya." " There's more Justin. See the only people who know are you and JC and Bode, so if you wouldn't mind I would like to keep it that way."
" No problem, I wont say anything."
" So are you seeing anyone, or do you wanna see someone?"
" Ahhhhh no, not right now. There is this one guy, but that's never gonna happen."
" Who's that, a coworker?"
" Na, he is actually a singer."
I began to get nervous, because what if Justin thinks its Lance as well.
" A singer, really." " Do I know him?"
" No, he is in a band that isn't that big, there from New York."
'Well maybe I do have a chance', Justin thought to himself as he pulled into his driveway.
