DISCLAIMER: O-town, Backstreet Boys and N'Sync are all bands that I don't know. I am not implying anything here. This is strictly created in my fantasies. I wish it was actually happening but I highly doubt it. I am in no way affiliated with Jive or J records, MTV or any other way with these bands. If homosexual content offends you or is illegal for you to read then please leave.
The only thing I have remotely in common with these guys is that Ashley Parker Angel and I were born on the same exact day-August 1, 1981.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: I haven't received this much feedback since I first started "Nick and Ashley". "Josh's Heart" was a big success and will now run side by side with this series. (They might even cross somewhere if I feel lucky enough but I doubt it). Thanks to Johnny for coming back to me, Special K for always being awesome to me, Alex for always being there, Kdawg for always reminding what this is all about and Jayson for always keeping me on my toes.
I'm sorry that the updates haven't been coming as readily as I wish but school is school and it comes first, sorry. It's hard too because the story is really starting to heat up and I've never had so many readers and I appreciate every single one of you.
BBSA Awards (Boy Band Story Awards) nominations start April 1. I ask only for the same support I have been given by my wonderful fans since I started in December.
Make sure everyone checks out "Making the Band" every Saturday night at 9pm on MTV.

All I Need Is You-Chapter Five
The O-town tour continued on through the Midwest, rounding out the tour in Ohio. This excited Dan Miller very much seeing as they were very close to his hometown. This also worried him just a bit seeing as he had no choice but to bring Devon home with him since he was with him. This was not the problem, the big issue was that he still had to tell them about the engagement. He knew that his parents had always supported him and had no doubt that they would do the same again this time but it's just simply a hard thing to tell your parents. There were some things in life that you just had to grin and bear however. As he drove the car, Dan looked over at his fiancee Devon Sawa and saw him staring out the window, deep in thought.
"A penny for your thoughts." Dan said
Devon looked over and saw Dan's smiling face, which seemed to be so contagious that it couldn't help but bring one out in him.
"Just thinking." Devon said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Dan asked
"It's not a big deal. Just thinking about how supportive your family has been of us and how they will be even more when we tell them about the wedding today." Devon said.
"That's a good thing right?" Dan asked confused.
"Yeah it's a great thing, but it got me thinking about my family and how much they never supported me and how I never talk to them anymore." Devon said
"I'm sorry Dev. I know that's a touchy subject for you." Dan said, taking the exit for Twinsburg.
"It's ok. I've made it this far without them. I can keep going." Devon said.
"That's right babe and besides you've got me now to." Dan said
"I know." Devon said with a smile.
"And someday we'll have a family of our own where you can give them as much support as you possibly can." Dan said with a big smile.
"That's all I've ever wanted." Devon said.
"I know baby." Dan said as he pulled into the driveway and stopped the car. He leaned over and gave Devon a kiss.
"Thanks Danny." Devon said
"Anytime. Now let's go do this." Dan said as they both got out of the car, took deep breaths, held each other's hands and walked towards the door.
Chris Kirkpatrick threw down the newest issue of People Magazine on the table in the recording studio where N'Sync was at for the day. JC seemed to jump at the noise, as if breaking him away from a chain of thought.
"Wake up sleepy." Chris said
"A guy can't catch a few winks in between singing like crazy for guys who never seem to think it's right?" JC asked half sarcastically/half angrily.
"Settle down buddy. We're the hottest act out there. We gotta be perfect." Chris said.
"Yeah well, I just wish they would give us a break sometimes." JC said.
"Well just think of how easy this year's Odyssey Tour is gonna be. We're headlining with O-crap and Backsuck." Chris said with a laugh.
"Can you give anyone a break?" JC asked coldly
"Oh come on, Backstreet is going downhill and O-town is a build a band, they never last." Chris said.
"Yeah well apparently you've been in a cave the past year. That last tour they had, "Passing the Torch" or whatever was a huge hit. Backstreet is making a comeback and O-town is gaining so much popularity." JC said.
"Man, did you fall in the toilet this morning or something?" Chris asked
"I'm sorry, I've just had a lot on my mind lately. I'll be glad to just get out to San Diego and relax and tour with the pros again." JC said.
"I agree, alright man I'll let you be. Take it easy Jayce." Chris said.
JC started to wonder why he was getting so edgy lately. He looked over at Lance in the next room on his cell phone, laying across a long leather couch. Lance would talk and then from time to time smile and laugh out loud, obviously enjoying talking to whoever was on the other line.
'I bet he's talking to Trevor.' JC thought to himself. JC was lonely. That's about as easy as one can put it. Justin has Britney, Lance has Trevor, along with everyone in O-town and pretty much the same for Backstreet. Why couldn't he be so blessed? He was a genuinely nice person but he too often finds girls that just like him for his status. Why couldn't he find someone who loves him for who he is, Josh Chasez?
There was something else that seemed to haunt JC lately. It wasn't just the fact that these girls didn't love him, it was the fact that they were girls. They really didn't do anything for him. He always tried to deny the fact that he could be gay but it was getting harder and harder by the day. All of these girls would just drive him crazy because he simply wasn't attracted to them but he couldn't seem to find a guy so he might as well stick with them.
He ran his hands through his hair, which was too long for his own liking. 'Even my hair isn't me. I need a change.' JC thought to himself as he saw Lance click off his phone and just lay there. JC got up and walked over to him. He threw himself on the couch across from the other one.
"What's up Lansten?" JC asked
"Not much." Lance said with a sigh and a smile.
"Trevor?" JC asked
"Yup. He just sang 'Baby I Would' to me on the phone." Lance said as he put his hands around his head and closed his eyes.
"Good song." JC said
"Yup" Lance said in a completely relaxed tone.
"I gotta talk to you buddy." JC said
"Go for it." Lance said as he opened his eyes and paid attention to him.
"What's it like?" JC asked.
"What do you mean?" Lance asked confused.
"What's it like to have a serious relationship where you can share everything with them and just be completely comfortable with them?" JC asked
"Lonely again Jayce?" Lance said
"Uh huh." JC said looking down. Lance came over and put his arm around him.
"Don't worry about it man. You'll find the right girl eventually." Lance said comforting him
"That's the other problem. I don't know if it's a girl that I want." JC said looking straight at Lance.
A smile came to Lance's face. "You know I'm here for you buddy." Lance said.
"Thank you." JC said.
"Alright you two sorry to interrupt the Kodak moment but we gotta have a group meeting." Joey said as he walked in with Chris and Justin behind him.
"What's up?" Lance asked
"We need to talk about couples on tour." Chris said.
Lance could feel an argument coming, ruining his day.
"JC, Chris and myself are single and Britney isn't at this year's tour so we're gonna give you the same lecture we gave Justin last year." Joey said.
"If I remember correctly last year Justin got pissed at y'all and ran out of here." Lance said.
"Yeah well we're still gonna tell you this. We don't want Trevor interfering with anything on tour. He's got his band and you've got yours and N'Sync has been around longer. On top of that, if the tabloids ever found out they would have a field day." Chris said.
"Don't be such an ass Chris. I would never let it interfere. He's my boyfriend. I know where pleasure ends and work begins." Lance said.
"Are you sure about that?" Joey asked coldly.
"You drift a lot man, always thinking about him. You miss notes sometimes that you never did before. You're not on top of things the way you used to be." Chris said.
"What are you guys implying?" Lance asked standing up
"We just think that things have not been the same since you met Trevor and..." Joey started.
"And what?" Lance said loudly, which caused JC to stand up also in case he was needed.
"Look I wasn't comfortable with the fact that you were gay but we always thought that you'd get over it but now you met Trevor and it's fucking shit up." Chris said backing up Joey.
"Trevor and N'Sync are the two best things that ever happened to me. Look, I'm sorry if you two assholes haven't found anyone yet but I have a good feeling why now." Lance said yelling.
Chris was about to scream something back but was blocked by JC who stepped in the middle of the two men. Lance turned around and sat down on the couch.
"Watch out JC or I'll kick your ass too." Chris said
"Think it through asswipe. Do you really wanna fight me?" JC asked
Chris thought back to the some previous scraps the two have gotten into and could attest to the fact that JC was the strongest. Chris turned around and stormed out of the room. JC motioned for Justin to take Joey out and JC closed to door. He turned around and saw Lance sitting on the couch with the saddest face he'd even seen him make.
Lance looked up at JC, then out in the hallway window and saw the rest of his bandmates. He looked down at his cell phone on the couch, thinking of Trevor. He had never felt so torn between two things he loved in his whole life.
"Mom, Dad, me and Dev have something to tell you." Dan said putting his fork down after finishing his meal.
"This sounds serious." His mom said as she got up and headed to the sink.
"Well it is but a good serious." Dan said.
"Sounds more confusing then anything." His dad said.
"Actually I've never been more sure about anything in my life." Dan said with a smile.
"What is it Danny?" his mom asked.
"Devon and I are getting married on May 4th." Dan said proudly.
Dan's mom and dad just looked at each other. His mom put down her plate and left the room. Dan was extremely confused. She came back in with a box wrapped with a bow around it.
"We were going to save it for a birthday or something like that but this is as good of a special occasion as any." His mother said offering the box to her son.
He looked over at Devon who was just as confused as he was and motioned for him to open the box. Dan opened it and saw a picture of Dan, Devon and Dan's parents from the summertime. Dan saw it and smiled and handed it over to Devon.
Devon held it like a newborn baby. He admired how happy everyone was, as if he already was a part of the family.
"We're proud of you two and we give you our full support. Welcome to the family Devon." Dan's dad said.
A tear fell from Devon's eye. In this house he was accepted. After fighting for so long with his family about what that word actually meant, he knew that he would be loved and supported, the same way Dan had been his whole life. It meant the world to him.
