Title: A Once In A Lifetime Love 5/? Author Stephanie M Pairing: Lance/AJ Status: WIP
Part 5
"So when are we getting out of here?" Lance asked ignoring the shouting from the corridor, obviously the Nsync guys didn't like his friends.
"That depends on you, as long as you don't go strolling around the hospital again and give your body a chance to heal you'll be out within a week." Dr Smith said giving AJ a meaningful look.
AJ sighed and said honestly, "You don't have to worry, doc. Now that we're in the same room there's no need for me to go searching the hospital."
Dr Smith said apologetically, "Mr Bass, I've spoken to Dr Merchant and we agree that at the moment we just don't know if you will ever regain your memories. The best thing I can suggest is that you spend time with Nsync and listen to the music it might jog your memory."
Lance smiled, "I'll ask D to bring in a Nsync CD. Alex opened his stitches earlier, will he be okay?"
"From what the nurse has told me everything appears to be okay," The doctor replied seriously.
Dylan walked into the room and said, "Sorry to interrupt but there has been a twelve car pile up. All docs needed on deck!"
"I'll have to go, but if either of you have any problems or questions just ask someone to give me a page," Dr Smith said smiling at her patients.
Lance said with a grin, "Thanks, could you ask Howie and Nick to come in here?"
Dr Smith nodded and left the room. She walked down the corridor purposely, she had warned the singers not to cause trouble and they hadn't listened.
Her voice deceptively sweet she said, "Your friends have just experienced a major trauma and they don't need this right now. Stop being so selfish, you should be thinking about them not about yourselves!"
Kevin said charmingly, "I apologise for the rude behaviour, it won't happen again."
Dr Smith nodded as she walked away saying over her shoulder, "Oh, Lance asked if Howie and Nick could go in."
Howie and Nick quickly headed to see their friends, happy to get away from Nsync. They could understand why the others didn't like the fact that they had kept their friendship with Lance secret but it was hardly the time to get into an argument.
Kevin said in disgust, "I can't believe you, Justin! How can you do this to them?"
"You don't understand. They shouldn't have kept it a secret!" Justin said stubbornly.
"Look, right now that doesn't matter. Lance's life has been turned upside down, imagine how he must feel," Joey said seriously.
Justin declared angrily, "It wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been in the car with AJ!"
Brian exclaimed shocked, "You're jealous!"
Chris said, "Look, whatever feelings you have for Lance don't matter. In case you've forgotten Lance is happily married." He was shocked as he had never imagined Justin could have feelings for their green-eyed friend.
Justin shrugged, "He's only happy because AJ's been lying to him! If Lance knew what AJ was really like he wouldn't be with him."
Knowing that the injured couple couldn't handle a jealous Justin as well as everything else Kevin said, "Maybe we should talk to them and then you'll see that they're the real thing. I get the feeling that Lance, wouldn't get married unless he was sure it was a long-term relationship. Those two wouldn't fuck around about something so important." ******* "You okay, Lance?" Nick asked as he walked in the room.
Lance laughed, "I'm okay as long as I've got Alex with me, you know that."
"I'm sorry about all the shouting." Howie said seriously not wanting to upset his friends.
AJ asked curious, "What happened?"
Nick shrugged, "Justin isn't too happy that we're friends."
Howie said filling Lance in on the situation, "Chris was my friend in college, he's not happy that I didn't tell him about you two."
"But I remember asking you to keep our relationship a secret when you came round to my place." Lance said with a grin.
Howie commented with a smirk, "I think they were a little unhappy to find out about you two by catching you kissing."
Nick laughed, "I was just shocked that you weren't a little more careful, but if something happened to Howie I would do the same thing. I bet Kev will give you a lecture about it."
"What a surprise (!) Kev has a lecture for everything," Lance said rolling his eyes.
