Read the story =) WARNING - the ending is not what it seems =) Enjoy!* *DISCLAIMER - You know it. You hate it. But everyone has to do it. I am in no way affiliated with anything to do with *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys and I am totally unsure of any of their sexualities. Except Kevin and Brian. (Honestly I hope that Brian's future marriage is a cover up but, well, whatever! Hehe - Think about it though! One of them has to be gay! You don't spend 5 years on a bus with 4 other hot guys and not get a little curious! LOL) I do not mean to imply that any of the boys are gay even though it might seem like it in the story. Blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda, let's get on with the good stuff!* ********************* It's Gonna Be Me - Part 8 ********************* "No!" Lance screamed as he ran for the door after Justin. Nick swiftly pulled Lance by the arm to stop him. "Nick let go of me!" Lance struggled as Nick grabbed tighter. "I said let go!" Lance screamed as he punched Nick square across the face. Nick grabbed his cheek in pain as he let go of Lance and watched him run out the door. "Justin wait!" Lance hollered after him. He caught up to Justin as he was walking into his dressing room. Lance closed the door behind them and locked it. "Justin I love you!" Lance pleaded as he walked over to where Justin sat on a big sofa. Lance sat down slowly and grabbed onto Justin's arm. "I can't let you leave me Just, I can't!" Lance cried. "I love you too much to let you go." With Lance's tears came Justin's as he began to ball on Lance's shoulder. "I know you love me Lance. I know that. And you know I love you to death but we have to stop hurting each other like this. I can't take the pain anymore." Justin sobbed. "But I won't hurt you anymore Justin, I promise! I made a stupid mistake. You have to forgive me." Lance begged. "I love you so much Lance. You'll never know." Justin said as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "That's why it's going to be so hard to live without you." "I can't let you leave me Justin. I won't let you." Lance cried even harder as he pulled Justin towards him and engaged their lips in a tender kiss. Justin lost himself in the passionate moment but soon pulled back. "Lance, don't do this! You'll just have to learn to live without me." Justin pleaded. "I don't want to learn Justin!" Lance shouted. He stood up from the couch and pulled Justin up with him. "I've told you over and over how much I love you and if we both love each other than there is no way I'm going to let our petty mistakes get in the way of something that could become a great thing! Our love should be strong enough to withstand things ten times worse than this... so what I'm trying to say is..." Lance took Justin's hands and held them loosely. He got down on his knees and said "I'm begging you. Can we start over? Form a fresh begininning. Pretend like nothing ever happened bad? We can only learn from our mistakes and we can wipe the slate clean. The only thing left will be our love for one another...so what do you say Just? Will you do it? For us?" Justin thought of wiping the fresh tears from his eyes but decided not to, for these were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. "I love you Lansten." Justin said as he embraced his love. "I love you more than anyone could ever possibly love anyone else." "Does this mean...?" Lance started. "Just kiss me" Justin smiled as he moved his face towards Lance's. Justin jerked back quickly and looked in shock. "What is it?" Lance asked quickly. "The show! We have to get ready!" Justin laughed. "Don't scare me like that!" Lance slapped Justin lightly in the arm. "I better go get those two we left back in the hallway... wait for me?" Justin asked with a puppy dog face. "Forever and always, Just." Lance smiled and went in for a quick peck on Justin's nose. Justin left the room and Lance walked over to the mirror. He fixed his hair but stopped when he realized that someone would eventually be doing that in a few minutes. He laughed to himself and sat in the makeup chair. He heard something at the door and looked over. He saw Brian walk in, followed by Nick. "Lance I'm... I'm so sorry" Brian spoke sincerely. "Oh, gimme a break." Nick muttered to himself under his breath. "Brian, it's okay. We both are at fault. It was just a stupid kiss. I'm just glad that Justin is over it and we can start over." Lance smiled at the thought of Justin. "What??" Brian nearly yelled. Lance stood up and walked over to Brian. "He forgave me and we are starting our relationship over... why are you so surprised?" Lance asked confused. "You kissed me Lance!" Brian stated matter-of-factly. "You kissed me first Bri." Lance defended himself. "But you kissed back!" Brian shot back. "Look, I don't know what I was thinking... but that's all in the past." Lance tried to shrug it off. "It was like five minutes ago Lance!" Brian once again retorted. Lance sighed. "Where's Justin?" Lance asked trying to change the subject. "He's coming! God, can't you two be apart for more than six seconds?" Nick said getting frustrated with the situation. Brian walked over to the couch and sat down. He began to talk to Lance again as Lance walked over and stood before him. Nick walked out of the room but quickly came back in at the sight of Justin. He walked over to Lance and pushed him hard down onto Brian. Without warning Lance fell onto him. Lance was disoriented for a second but snapped back into reality once he heard "I can't fucking believe this!" Justin yelled. ********************* *Sorry =) I wanted to get something to you guys quick and I've already started the next part, so youll get that probably tomorrow. Did you guys not think that Lance was going to ask Justin to marry him? Even I did once I read it over! LOL. Just teasin' ya =) Come back and read the next chapter when we'll see Britney again! Thanks to those of you who sent me e-mails asking where she was... i felt like and idiot but i'm over it now. I really like her! She's a cool, funny person in this story... but now I feel mental because I'M the one who makes her that way! UGH! I better go take an aspirin... my head is starting to hurt.*
