AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is an Alternative Universe kind of story, while it has some Nsync members as main characters, it happens in a dimension where Nsync doesn't exist.
DEDICATION: To Donna and Aurora, two really cool girls. Love you :-)
DISCLAIMER: As much as I've been working on that deal with the Devil, I still don't own or even know Nsync or any of the characters. It's just something my twisted mind made me write.
COMMERCIAL BREAK: My stories are hosted on the following sites: http://www.slashygoodness.com/ http://www.angelfire.com/boybands/druid555/index.html Thanks to Red and Shaun. Join the NsyncSlashChronicles Yahoo Group!
CRUEL INTENTIONS CHAPTER 13 by Rick - jc.chasez@gmx.net
"Timberlake, you're out of the team" "What???" Justin shrieked. "Why?" "Listen, Timberlake... your grades have been going down lately" "So what?" "And the rules are changing, from now on grades will count for the athletes" "That is bullshit!" "Timberlake, I know you're angry, so I'm going to pretend you didn't say that" "Oh, thank you!!! You kick me out of the team and now I owe you?" "You're taking this the wrong way" "You know I'm one of the best players on the team" "Timberlake, you're good, but no one is indispensable" "Fine, I hope the whole team goes down" "This attitude isn't going to take you anywhere" Justin turned around and walked away.
Josh had seen the scene from the court and he ran behind Justin. "Justin, what happened man? "That asshole kicked out of the team" "Oh God! Why?" "He said that it was because my grades dropped, but I don't believe it. There has to be something else..." "Something else? Like what?" "Oh, shit! Could it be possible?" Josh looked at Justin puzzled. "No, it can't be. I don't think he has a way to do it..." "Justin, are you okay?" "Huh? Oh, yeah. I'll stay here and watch you at the tryouts, if that's ok" Josh smiled. "Okay, Justin"
Last night I couldn't go back to sleep until 5 am. I spent the whole night smoking and drinking. Of course I couldn't wake up to go to school. At 11 I got myself ready and headed for school. When I got there I couldn't find Josh anywhere. My damn head was still hurting. Where could he be? I suddenly remembered. He had told me that the tryouts were today. I went to the courts to look him up. I finally saw him and my stomach revolved. He was hugging Justin and laughing with him. Fucking bastard, how did he do that? I thought I had taken care of that... With my face distorted by anger, I walked up to where they were standing. Josh saw me coming and he smiled. "Hey Rick!" he waived. "Come! I have good news!" I walked faster and he hugged me too. I melted right there. "Rick, I made the team! I'm so happy!" "Congratulations, Josh! I knew you would" I hugged him tight.
"Ahem, am I interrupting something?" said Justin. I let Josh go and looked at him sternly. "Well, Josh is my friend" "He's my friend too" "Hey guys, what's this all about?" "Nothing, Josh. Justin, didn't you get my message?" I was too mad to be careful.
"Which message?" "The coach was supposed to give it to you" "What? Oh my..." I smiled. "I knew it was you, fucking piece of shit!!!" "Justin, you know I don't play around" "How could you?" "That's for me to know and for you to find out" "You scum!"
I was about to reply when he hit me in the face. He caught me off guard and I ended up down on the ground. He was going to hit me again but Josh grabbed him forcefully. "Stop it, Justin! Are you nuts?" "Step away Josh. This is between Rick and I" "No, Justin. I'm not letting you two fight" I touched my nose, there was blood.
"This is not over, Rick" "No, it's far from over. When I'm through with you, you'll wish you were never born" "Rick, you need to shut up too. Justin, go away" "Fine, Josh. But you better be careful, he's not what you think" "You two need to cool down. Justin, please go" "Ok, but only because you're asking me to, Josh" "Thank you" And he walked away.
"Rick, are you okay?" "I don't know, I hope my nose is not broken" "We need to go to the hospital" "No, no. I'm fine. I'm sorry you had to witness that" "What was that all about?" "Nothing, nothing... he's like that sometimes" "Really? He seems to be nice" "That's what he wants everybody to believe" "But..." "And he hates me..."
I wanted to laugh now, Josh seemed so concerned. "Oh, Rick. I'm sorry" "Can you take me home, please? I don't want to drive like this" "Sure, let me get my stuff" "Will you take care of me?" "Of course! You're my friend" "Thanks, Josh" I whispered. This may not have been so bad...
