Joint Affairs - Chapter 17
by JT Poole

* Day 18 -- Washington, D.C. -- Abraham General Hospital *

"Justin could you stay in there with him while I call Celia?  I want her to
know that they are going to admit him so that she can tell the others."
Brian explained.

"What's wrong with him Brian?"  Justin asked.

"He has some viral infections, he will tell you the rest when you get in
there, let me go call Celia."  Brian stated as he walked outside.

* At the Hotel *

"I hope Josh is okay.  He's been acting strange for the last couple of
weeks."  Joey stated.

"I know, I noticed that, but I didn't want to say anything.  I didn't feel
it was any of my business.  If he wasn't saying anything to anyone about
it, I had no right to."  Nick stated, as he walked over to Joey and wrapped
his arms around his waist.  "But I do have a right to do this."

"That you do, but why don't we take this to the shower.  I feel like
getting clean, before we get dirrty."  Joey whispered into Nick's ear.  "I
feel dirty...filthy...nasty... too dirty to clean my act up.  I'm overdue,
need to get in that room, I wanna get dirty, let's get dirty, that's the
plan, let's get dirty, because that's the plan, sweatin' until my clothes
come off."  Joey sang in Nick's ear.

"Sounds good baby, but I don't think Christina Aguilera would appreciate
you using her lyrics to seduce me tonight."  Nick laughed.

"Those were not her lyrics, I changed the words a little bit, so it would
be a Joey original."  Joey laughed while he pulled Nick into the bathroom
behind him.

* Day 19 - 2 Hours Later -- Back at the Hospital *

"I just don't know what to say.  Why didn't you tell us about this Josh?"
Justin asked.

"I was too ashamed to tell any of you.  I didn't want to look weak.  I had
just told you guys that I was gay and I didn't want you think that I had
brought this on myself for being gay."  JC stated.

"We wouldn't have thought that Josh, I am gay too.  Are you saying all the
bad stuff that has happened to me is because I am gay?"  Justin asked.

"No, that's not what I am saying Curly, but I went out that night.  I had
been at different gay bars for a while all that night, I had been drinking
heavily, and on my way home, some guy attacked me.  After he got what he
wanted, he beat me up and left me in the car."  JC explained.

"Oh Josh, I am so sorry that happened to you, but you should have told us.
We could have taken you to the hospital and none of this would have ever
happened."  Justin stated, as the tears ran down his face, he turned and
walked out of the room.

"I shouldn't have been so afraid of what you guys would have thought.  I
guess this is a big lesson I have learned."  JC stated.

"What all does the doctor need to do to get you better?"  Chris asked.

"I don't understand the whole procedure, but they are going to inject
something through here..."JC stated, as he pointed at his pelvis, "and that
is supposed to kill the bacteria there.  Once that is done, the doctor can
treat the infection there."

"I don't know what to think of any of this.  The way the doctor explained
it, made it sound like you had AIDS or something.  He was scaring the hell
out of me."  Brian stated.

"Yeah, but that's not the case.  I am glad of that, if that creep had given
me HIV, I would have done what I could to find him and kill him."  JC
stated, as Brian sat down on the bed besides him.

"The doctor is coming, I guess we better get back outside before there is a
problem about that."  Justin spoke as he entered the room again.

"We are going to be in the Waiting Area, if you guys need something or
something happens, you can find us there."  Celia stated.

* In the Waiting Area *

"Benjamin, what's wrong with you?  You have been quiet for the last couple
of weeks, you haven't been yourself."  Celia asked.

"I'm okay Celia, I'm just fine."  Benjamin stated.

"Does this have anything to do with JF or NC?"  Celia asked.

"No!  It has nothing to do with them.  Didn't I say I was okay, I am fine,
just leave me alone."  Benjamin stated as he walked out of the Waiting Area
and down the hall.

"What's wrong with him Celia?"  Kevin asked.

"I don't know.  He has been acting strange for a couple of weeks now.  I am
getting scared, he normally tells me what's bothering him."  Celia stated.

"Celia is Benjamin gay?"  Kevin asked.

"Why do you ask Kevin?"  Celia asked.

"Well a couple of weeks back after one of our concerts, Benjamin was in the
Dressing Room with Nick and he kind of made a scene and upset Nick."  Kevin
stated.

"Kevin, what happened?  Why am I just now hearing about this?"  Celia
asked.

"Well Nick was the last one in the shower that night, and well we all had
started taking our personal stuff to the bus.  On our way back, we heard
Nick screaming from the Dressing Room.  We went in, and we say Nick nude
screaming at Benjamin and he was sort of frozen.  He just stood there and
wouldn't move or say anything.  After, I walked over and touched him, he
said he was sorry and walked out of the room."  Kevin explained.

"Why are you just now telling me about this Kevin?  There could be a
problem brewing and I wouldn't know anything about it because I don't know
what's going on.  Is there anything else going on that I don't know about?"
Celia asked as she looked around the room at all the guys.

"Will it be a problem for David being around us for a while?"  Aaron asked.

"As long as he doesn't do or say anything to bring publicity to your
relationship with him."  Celia stated.  "He's fine with me, just don't get
in the way and don't cause problems."

"Is there anything else?  Oh and I already know about blondie and movie
star here dating, so don't everyone jump up and tell me all at once."
Celia stated, causing Joey and Nick to blush.

"Who told you we were dating?  How did you know?"  Nick asked.

"Joey shouldn't sing Christina Aguilera songs in the shower and you
shouldn't act like one of the background singers while having sex." Celia
stated, causing Nick and Joey to blush even more, slump down in their
chairs and the others to laugh hysterically.  "Next time keep it down while
other people are in the tub trying to have a nice and quiet bubble bath."

"Oh my gosh, you heard us?"  Joey asked.

"Heard you, shit, I thought you were going to fall through the bathroom
wall on me what all that commotion going on in there."  Celia stated.

"Damn, you guys must have been really horny to do all of that."  Justin
snickered.

"Oh shut up Justin, not like we haven't heard you and Kevin doing things
worse."  Lance stated, causing Justin and Kevin to start blushing.

"Oh guys stop with all the blushing.  You are all adults here, we all have
sex, and we all know how fun sex can be.  Just be sure when you are having
sex that you are not disturbing someone else with it.  No offense, but
Nick, the next time you start hitting high notes like that, I will
personally slap you for each note you hit, I thought you were trying to
kill a cat in there."  Celia spoke, causing everyone to laugh again.

"Was I that bad?  I thought I sounded good."  Nick stated.

"You sound better when you are not engaged in other activities.  Keep that
in the bedroom."  Celia stated, giggling as Benjamin walked back into the
Waiting Area.

"Celia, we need to talk and now."  Benjamin stated, as he grabbed her arm
and pulled her outside of the room.

"Well you guys have made this a memorable night.  I haven't laughed this
hard in a long time."  Lance stated.

"Hardy Har Har.,,You are just mad that no one gave it to you that good."
Nick stated.

"Damn Joey, what do you have down there?  From what Nick is saying, you
gave it to him good, you must be a true Italian Stallion."  AJ laughed,
causing Joey to blush some more.  "If you keep blushing like that, your
face is going to turn into a tomato."

" Can we please change the subject now, I don't want to hear any more about
me and Nick's love life."  Joey stated.

"Wonder how things are going with JC?  Is Brian still standing outside in
the hallway by the door?"  Howie asked.

"No, but they are going back into the room with Josh, I guess the procedure
is over."  Kevin stated as he walked behind Justin.

"Let's go down and see what's what."  Justin stated as he hopped out of his
chair and left the room.

* JC's Hospital Room -- 15 minutes later *

"Honey how do you feel?  Are you in any pain?"  Brian asked.

"Yeah, my ass hurts.  Felt like someone fucked me without lube."  JC
stated, as he sat up in the bed.

"Well the doctor says that everything looks clear.  They took another blood
simple and they also took a sample from the infected site.  If you want,
you can use that to have DNA evidence against the person that did this to
you."  Brian explained.

"How sweet, just what I need, a reminder of what happened to me.  I just
want this to be over so we can leave here."  JC spoke.

"We will get to leave soon, I promise you, just let the doctor do what he
needs to do to get you better.  I don't want anything to happen to you."
Brian stated.

"I want to leave now, I don't like Hospitals!"  JC shouted.  "I want to get
out of this place before I go mad or worse, crazy."

"Josh, please calm down.  We will go home when the Dr. Lansing releases
you."  Brian stated.

"Hey guys, can we come in?"  Justin asked poking his head in the door.

"Sure come on in Curly."  JC spoke.  "Maybe you can help me get out of
here."

"Nope, can't do that.  You must stay here until your doctor says it's okay
for you to go home, not before then."  Justin spoke.

"Can someone please get me out of here, I can't take it anymore."  JC
spoke.

"Look here young man, you will stay here as long as you are needed in here.
You are not leaving this room until the doctor tells you too."  Celia
stated.

"What about the concerts, what about the fans?"  JC asked.

"Your next show is two days away, and if we don't make it then we can
reschedule it."  Celia stated.

"Come on, just let me get out of here and go home.  Brian can take care of
me on the bus."  JC pleaded.

"I could, but I won't, that's why you are here at the hospital, so that you
can get better before we get back on the road."  Brian stated.

"Oh now you turn against me too, you are all turncoats, just leave me alone
all of you."  JC spoke,

"Oh honey you don't mean that."  Brian stated as he lifted JC's hand and he
snatched it away." Josh come on, don't be this way."

"I want all of you to just leave, leave me alone since you won't help me."
JC stated, turning his back to them as he faced the wall.

"Okay be that way mister, we will be out in the Waiting Area.  Come on
guys; let's leave Mr. Stubborn here by himself."  Justin stated as he
walked out of the door.

"You guys go ahead, I will stay here with him, I know he doesn't mean it,
he just wants to get out of here."  Brian stated.

"Okay, if you need us, you know where we are."  Justin stated, as he let
the door close behind him.
