Josh and Just 6
Justin hopped down the stairs with JC by his side.
"You guys about ready to go? I think the movie starts in half an hour." Joey explained as he looked at his watch.
"Yeah. Bye Mom! Bye Dad! Bye Lisa and Paul!" Justin yelled into the house. Lynn came walking down the stairs.
"Bye sweety. And you too JC." Lynn said as she gave both a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. JC and Justin gave each other and confused look.
"Mom it's not like we are going on tour again. We are just going to the movies." Justin laughed.
"Oh I know dear. And I want you to know that I'm here for you if you ever need me. All you guys. I'm ere for all you guys if you ever need me." Lynn claimed, talking more to JC than anyone else.
"Okay Lynn. Thanks. We're going to be heading out now." Chris said escorting everyone out. They all walked outside and looked toward Justin.
"Did your mother take a drug or something or did she just have a near death experience?" Lance joked.
"I don't know but something is a little weird. Why did she go upstairs? Did she tell you guys?" Justin asked.
"Well she said she was going to look for you." Joey said.
"And me and JC were up there together." Justin said in shock.
"Well Just. It's nothing to worry about. If she did see us and had a problem with it she would have came bursting through the door and broken us up." JC consoled, while placing his arm around Justin's shoulder. Justin sighed and rested his head against JC's shoulder.
"Okay I know you guys are in a need to touch each other or whatever but you guys have to be careful in public. We can't risk having some stupid photographer catch you guys." Lance said, in a joking manner and yet seriously. Justin nodded and moved away from JC at the same time JC let his arm fall to his side. Justin went around to the driver's side of the car while JC and Lance battled for the front passenger's seat.
"Hey! I called it first." Lance yelled, while controlling his laughter.
"I'm dating the driver. I should be able to get the front." JC argued.
"Well that's no fair. You guys both go that way and I don't. You get a unfair advantage." Lance retorted.
"It's not my fault that you like women." JC pushing Lance aside.
"Children! Children! Stop this now." Joey said breaking up the two. He looked sternly at JC and Lance and placed his hands on his hips. "There is only one way to solve this." Joey explained. He swiftly opened the door of the car and took the front passenger's seat. He closed the door and locked it. JC and Lance looked at each other in astonishment and then back to Joey. They both let out a scowl before cramming into the back seat with Chris. Justin chuckled at the two and took his seat behind the wheel.
"Are we ready to go or does someone want to fight with me over the this seat?" Justin asked, with a smile. He turned to face JC in the back who was sitting in the middle seat. He leaned back and gave JC a small kiss.
"Can you at least wait for us to get out of the car or into the dark movie theater before you two start making out?" Chris joked. Justin flashed him a smile through the rear view mirror before turning on the car.
Justin plopped down into a movie theater seat in a seat at the back of the theater. Lance took a seat next to him and started to slowly munch on his popcorn. Chris took a seat on the other side of Justin and picked at the ice in his glass with a straw. Joey took a seat next to Lance.
"Where's your beau?" Joey asked, softly.
"Peeing." Chris replied for Justin. Justin snapped his head toward Chris before breaking up into laughter.
"What?" Chris asked.
"Oh Chris? I didn't know you and JC were going out." Lance jumped in.
"Oh god! I didn't mean it that way. I was just answering for Justin." Chris huffed.
"Thanks Chris." Justin grinned. JC walked down the row of seat to where Chris was seated. He looked down at Chris who was eating his ice while watching the screen.
"Ahem!" JC said still looking down at Chris.
"What?" Chris asked as he looked up at JC. JC looked over to Justin and then to the seat Chris was sitting in.
"Ohhhh!" Chris realized. He moved over one seat while JC took his seat next to Justin. Justin propped his feet up on the empty chair in front of him and looked at the screen which was showing advertisements. JC took Justin hand which was resting on the hand rest.
"You want some?" JC asked, holding out a bag of Skittles.
"No thanks." Justin replied gripping JC's hand tightly.
"Are you nervous or something?" JC asked, with a slight chuckle.
"No just a little worried. You guys know that I don't like scary movies and yet you drag me to them anyway. Why can't we just watch a comedy?" Justin rambled. JC held back his laughter but Justin caught notice of his smile.
"What's so funny Cutie?" Justin asked, poking JC in the leg.
"Well I was just thinking how utterly adorable it is that you are pretty much talking to yourself." JC smiled.
"Yada, Yada, Yada, Why don't you guys forget the talking crap and go for the part that you are both wanting. The making out!" Joey joked.
"Not a bad idea." JC said,, cocking an eyebrow. JC began to slowly move toward Justin. Lance hopped out of his chair and sat directly on Justin's lap.
"You are not kissing until the lights go out. We are not getting caught you hear?" Lance claimed.
"I wasn't going to kiss him. I was just kidding." JC replied with a laugh.
"Sure and I'm the queen of England." Lance replied sarcastically.
"Excuse me? Your Majesty? Can you kindly get your ass off me now. I'm not in the mood for a lap dance right now. But I'll get back to you later if I do." Justin said pinching Lance's butt. Lance hopped up and rubbed hi ass while he took his seat again.
"Will you guys shut up the movies starting." Chris hissed.
"Like he cares about that movie. You know all he's going to watch is Nicole Kidman." Joey whispered to Lance.
"And Justin is going to be watching for Tom Cruise." Lance laughed.
"Correction. Brad Pitt." Justin smiled. Lance rolled his eyes and sat back to watch the movie.
"Okay well I thought it was good." Justin said, as he drove to his home. He looked to the front passenger's seat where he saw JC bopping his head to the music from the radio.
"It was okay. A scary movie should have been a lot scarier. That was as frightening as The Blair Witch Project." Joey concluded.
"That's why Justin liked it so much." JC smiled.
"'Exactly." Justin nodded.
"You are so cute when you get excited." JC cooed. Justin smiled and leaned in for a kiss. Chris quickly grabbed a hold of Justin's head and pointed it back towards the road.
"Drive!" Chris demanded. Justin let out a small laugh and complied.
"Well what do you guys think about sleeping over tonight?" Justin asked.
"I would say that we are back in elementary school." Lance joked.
"Shut up! You know what I mean. Instead of going home. We'll head out tomorrow morning for Universal." Justin said pulling onto a small street. He drove up to his house and parked on the street of the private neighborhood.
"Yeah I guess so seeing how all our luggage is at your house anyway." Joey agreed.
"All in the same room?" Justin asked.
"Okay I guess so. But I call the futon in Justin's room." Lance said hopping out of the car.
"That means me, JC and Chris have to sleep on the floor? Man!" Joey complained.
"Nope you and Chris have to sleep on the floor. JC sleeps with me." Justin grinned while he walked to his door. JC broke a smile and followed Justin into the house.
"Hello? Everyone?" Justin yelled.
"We're home!" Chris followed.
"Hey everyone. How was the movie?" Lynn asked, greeting them into the house.
"It was okay." Lance said as he took off his coat and placed it onto the coat rack.
"Hey Justin. JC. May I have a word with you?" Lynn asked. Justin looked at JC and then back at his mother.
"Sure." Justin replied softly. He followed his mother into the den with JC following. Lynn closed the door of the den and took a seat on a chair facing a couch. JC and Justin sat on the couch facing Lynn.
"Justin. I have to be honest with you. I saw you and JC kissing upstairs. And I wanted to apologize for spying. I didn't mean to. I came upstairs to come get you and I saw you two through the open door." Lynn said, ashamed of what she did. Justin sat in shock from what he heard. His mother had known all along and hadn't said anything.
"Umm.Mom. I forgive you. But does this mean that you are okay with me and JC being together?" Justin asked still confused. Lynn looked toward the ground and back at her son.
"I'm not totally sure how I feel. I still would have liked you to get married in a big church with everyone there, to a beautiful wife. And maybe someday get me a grandchild or two." Lynn confessed. Justin gave a small smile and looked back up at his mother.
"You can still have grandchildren if you don't mind if they are adopted." Justin replied softly. JC sat watching everything that was happening. He inched his hand to Justin's and took it into his own. Justin turned to look into JC's eyes. He received a smile from JC. Justin gave off a small laugh and leaned back against him.
"Oh and Mom. All five of us are sleeping in my room tonight." Justin added, looking toward his mother.
"Okay but make sure JC either gets the futon or the floor. Not the bed with you." Lynn said firmly. Justin looked at her and found a grin plastered across her face. Justin gave off a small laugh. "Oh and Justin. Can I ask you one personal question? Would you like to talk about what happened to you that night. About the incident. You know where that man." Lynn was having difficulty spitting it out.
"Mom I don't want to talk about it." Justin said standing up and walking out of the room before anyone could see his tears. JC gave a perplexed look to Lynn who in return looked even more confused.
"Lynn I'll talk to him." JC assured. "Justin!" JC said following Justin out the door.
Justin walked into his room where the other guys were lounging around and plopped onto the bed. He buried his face into a pillow before anyone could see him.
"Justin was there. He'll tell you. Justin! Tell Chris about the time we covered Carson Daly with all that whip cream." Joey laughed. He received no response as the room went completely silent.
"Justin?" Lance asked, moving onto the bed next to Justin.
"Justin!" JC said running through the door. He found three pairs of eyes looking up at him in question.
"Justin? Do you want to talk about? I know it hurts to recall it but maybe if you talked with someone about it, talk to us about it, it might help you." JC soothed, as he sat up on the bed. Justin lifted his head and looked around. He sat up next to JC and rested against him for support. JC wrapped both arms around his waist and held him close. Lance got up and locked the door as he sat on the futon facing the bed. Joey took a seat on the floor in front of Justin and waited silently. Chris looked worriedly from his spot next to Lance.
"Well it was that night when we all went to the movies. I told you guys I would meet you there remember? And well I was walking down the street, trying to look out for any fans who had recognized me when this one guy walks up behind me and pokes me in the back. He pulled me into this dark alley type thing. I don't know what it was. And there he tells me to get on my knees. He was still behind me and then he hit me with this bar or something. That's all I remember. Well except for when I came in and out of consciousness and found him doing things to me." Justin said, he burst into tears before turning and burying his face into JC's shirt. Joey quickly turned to Lance and signaled him to get the bottle of water from the futon. Lance threw it to Joey who scrambled up to the bed. JC hugged Justin tightly and rocked him trying to stop his sobbing. He gently pulled Justin back and held the bottle of water up in front of him.
"It's okay Just. You have us. We'll never let that happen to you again. You have JC now. He'll beat the living crap out of anyone who comes near you without a good cause." Chris said jumping up and sitting on the side of the bed. Justin cracked a smile and nodded.
JC sat with his back propped against the wall while still sitting on Justin's bed. Justin laid down next to him while turned on his side to be able to look at Joey and Chris who was casually lounging on the futon. Lance laid on the carpeted floor while he looked up at everyone.
"Justin? Honey? I have a bag here from the record company." Lynn said knocking on the door.
"Come on in Mom." Justin said as he looked up at the door. Lynn walked in with a big mail bag and placed it on the bed next to Justin's feet.
"Here you go. I have no clue what this is. But Johnny said something about this is only one bag that needs to be read." Lynn tried to repeat. The guys all turned toward each other and gave each other a knowing look.
"Fan Mail." They all said in unison. JC parted his legs so that Justin could sit between them. Justin rested his back against JC's chest as he opened the bag and poured it all down next to Lance. Letters, packages, and stuffed animals all came piling out of the bag.
"Thanks Mom. We'll take it from here." JC said. Lynn gave a comical look to JC and then left the room. JC just laughed as he reached down and picked up a letter from the top of the pile. Everyone picked up a letter and began to read to themselves.
"Hey you guys listen to this! Dear *N Sync, I just got into your music recently. My girlfriend kind of got me hooked even though it is from a boy band. But thanks to you guys it makes it a lot easier to shop for. I just have to get her a JC Chasez sweatshirt or something. So I guess I owe you guys a lot. Oh and a special thanks to JC. You've saved my butt one to many times. Thanks again, James." Joey read out loud.
"That girl can't have you. You are all mine!" Justin said turning to peck JC on the nose. JC leaned forward and kissed Justin on the back of the neck. Justin smiled as he reach down and picked up a stuffed dog. It was a look-a-like of Chris's dog, Busta.
"Here Chris. Something for Busta to chew on." Justin said tossing Chris the dog.
"You hate that dog don't you? Why? What has it ever done to you?" JC asked as he rested his chin on Justin's shoulder.
"Nothing besides using my bunk as his personal toilet. For the next tour I call the top bunk. Chris you can take the bottom one." Justin complained.
"We'll give the bottom bunk to Britney." Lance snickered.
"I can't wait to see her again. I haven't called her for like a week. I think she's in California or something." Justin said, thinking of where she should be.
"Should I be jealous?" JC snickered. Justin elbowed him lightly in the abs.
"Here Justin. This person sent you a Teddy Bear for Steven." Lance said tossing Justin a brown box. Justin peeked inside and saw a white teddy bear with a little heart stitched on his chest.
"It's cute. But I think Laura would like it more." Justin said placing it on the floor on the other side of the bed. He laid back against JC again and picked up another piece of mail. Justin opened the letter and burst into laughter as he read it.
"Dear *N Sync, I am in love with all of you. I would greatly appreciate it if I could be one of your brides. Love Jamie." Justin laughed.
"Okay I say we volunteer Joey! He's the flirt." JC laughed.
"Oh please. I see how you get when you see a small group of girls screaming your name. You get this proud look on your face and you go throw yourself in them. Justin you should be mad." Joey retorted.
"As long as he comes home with me I don't mind." Justin claimed, picking up another piece of mail. He opened the letter and read it silently before tossing it away in horror.
"What? What's wrong?" JC asked hugging Justin with worry. Justin just pointed the letter as if it was a deadly snake or something. Lance picked up the letter and read it. He looked back up at JC.
"It's from Justin's attacker. He says he's going to come back and rape Justin again." Lance repeated what was said in the letter. JC took the letter and the envelope into his own hands in anger. He looked at the letter than the envelope.
"No it can't be him. He's in a Michigan jail and this post mark is from Miami, It's probably someone's idea of a sick joke." JC said tossing the letter aside. He looked toward Justin who was staring at nothing at all.
"Justin are you okay?" JC asked. Justin nodded slowly before bringing his eyes back to JC.
"You know what Justin? Why don't you just lay down and rest while we sift through the mail." Joey suggested. Justin nodded again and got up. JC crossed his legs as Justin laid his head down in JC's lap. Justin closed his eyes while JC ran his fingers through his hair.
"Poor kid. He's been through a lot and he's still managed to keep up with the schedule." Chris commented.
"I know. He made it to almost every practice after the incident. He's a trooper." Lance said getting up to get a blanket. He gently placed it around Justin. JC smiled as Justin snuggled up to his lap.
Justin slowly drifted out of slumber. He looked around the room and noticed he laid on his bed. No one else was in the room. He sat up in bed and scratched his chest. He pulled himself to stand and walked to the door. As he stepped out into the hall he heard everyone downstairs. He made his way down the stairs and turned into the kitchen, where he saw JC sitting at a stool talking to Lynn while she cooked. Lance was helping her by rummaging through the refrigerator.
"Hey everyone." Justin said softly.
"Hey Just. How was your nap?" JC asked as he stood to kiss Justin on the cheek. He looked around and made sure only Lynn and Lance saw that.
"It was okay. I guess. What time is it?" Justin asked.
"It's about eight `o clock. I'm making you guys some food because you've been stuck in that room all day and couldn't get out in time for dinner. So how does spaghetti sound?" Lynn asked.
"I'm not too hungry. But thanks anyways." Justin replied. He took a seat at the counter next to JC and laid his head in his arms against the counter. He glanced around the room, seeing if anything was changed. His eyes were caught on a long gold bow with a red bow on top.
"Hey Mom? What's that?" Justin asked. Lynn looked up to see what he was talking about and noticed the gold box.
"Oh! I forgot. They are for you. The studio sent them down. They said someone sent it there for you. I don't know what it is. Why don't you open it?" Lynn said picking up the box and handing it to Justin. Justin untied the bow and lifted the box lid. Inside was a card and a dozen dead red roses. Justin looked at them in confusion. He picked up the card and read it slowly.
"I'll see you soon."
To Be Continued.
****Hey everyone. I hoped you liked it. It was fun writing it. Well sort of. I had the flu so I was coughing and writing it. But I think I'm over it now. So I'm going for this whole suspense thing. I don't know if it will turn out good or not. I'd love to hear what you think. And I guess I'll see you again with another installment soon. CYA.
