Hola!  I SO SORRY!  I have had many computer troubles in the past couple
days which has prevented me from writing.  I also have a new computer now
that I do not have to share with anyone else so I had to get it set up to
my liking.  I had to download winamp and winzip and some other stuff and
set up all my preferences and then I had a report for school that was due
today.  So here I am.  I am writing this Wednesday afternoon and I will
finish up after work so it will be posted Thursday, May 4, 2000.  Which for
those of you that have been living under a rock is Lance's birthday!

Ok, for those of you that hated last chapter I am sorry.  Even I am a
little disappointed in it if you must know.  I was having an absolutely
horrible day when I wrote it and I think it reflected in my writing
ability.  So this chapter will be better I hope!  Thanks for everyone that
e-mailed me!  Erin is a boy everyone!  I am so sorry babe I made that
mistake!  He is a hottie too!

Ok, So if you have questions, comments, complaints, suggestions, anything!
e-mail me, I love e-mail!  My e-mail address is spifty214@email.com.  Also,
can you be a little specific.  Sorry, I am not complaining but specificness
is always good.  I love this, I am using Works 2000 to type this and it
underlines all the misspelled words...Ok, I am good now, now let's get the
legal crapola outta the way!

LEGAL! I make no claims to the sexuality of any member of `N Sync or anyone
else.  This is completely fictional.  If you are under 18 or if it is
illegal for you to read this then just go away.  This story has homosexual
themes and sexual situations in it.

So know...on with the show!

Lonely Lance...Chapter 7

"Alright Lance, I think we do." Steve said quietly.

"Not here though, we need to get out of here, just trust me ok?" Lance said
a little paniced.

"Why not here, here is fine." Steve commanded angrily.

"Because I will have 3 pissed off guys here in about a half hour."  Lance
responded

"What do you mean?  I thought they all went away."  Steve said

"They did, JC drove somewhere, I can't remember where, Joey went to
Justin's with Justin which isn;t too far from here.  As soon as JC calls
them they will be here and they will seriously want to beat you.  I have
seen them do it before too.  It isn't a good thing." Lance said still
upset.

"Alright, fine, where do you want to go then?"  Steve annoyingly asked.

"Just away from here.  I dunno, I will drive." Lance said.

"Are you going to be ok driving?"  Steve asked, trying not to sound too
caring.

"Yeah, I will be fine.  Thanks for asking." Lance said

"Yup, i am not in the mood to die tonight.  Go figure.  What about Chris?"
Steve asked

"He is probly falling asleep.  As soon as he does we will go, either that
or we can just get out without him seeing us.  Either way, we gotta get
going Steve." Lance said quietly

"Ok, I understand.  It's 11:25 now.  When do you want to go?" Steve asked

"Now.  Come one, make sure you grab your jacket and stuff.  My car is in
the garage.  Be quiet."  Lance said as they headed downstairs.  They saw
Chris asleep at the kitchen table.  When they reached the garage there were
2 cars.  Lance had a 4wd jeep thing and he had a 2000 Mustang in Black.

"Which one are we taking?" Steve asked looking at the cars.

"The Mustang."  Lance said as he pushed the button that opened the garage
door.  He took the keys out of his pocket and shut the car alarm off and
unlocked the doors.  Lance walked to the driver side door and opened it and
got in.  Steve did the same on the passenger side.  Lanced started the car
and the radio started playing the Savage Garden Affirmation CD.  He
immediately peeled out of the driveway and down the street away from the
house.  He closed the garage door as he exited the driveway.

"Lance, Please don't drive so fast.  I don't think 90 is legal on any
residential street."  Steve said as he held on to the handle on the door.

"Sorry, I will slow down.  I need to get to the expressway."  Lance said as
he decelerated.  They traveled maybe 10 miles down a deserted rural road
when they saw headlights going in the opposite direction.  "Shit, those
look like Justin's headlights.  Hopefully they won't notice us." Lance said
with a shaky voice.

"Yeah, I barely know them, this is great, they don't even know me and they
want to kick my ass.  So what the fuck did you tell them to make them want
to kill me?"  Steve said sounding angry.

"I told them what happened.  They got pissed at you."  Lance said.

"Why the fuck would they get pissed at me?  Ya know you stupid ass, you are
the one that invaded my privacy.  I didn't go through any of your shit.  I
didn't read your e-mail.  All I did was fucking come over here for a social
outing when you go and pull this shit.  If anything they should be pissed
at you.  Not me."  Steve said, at first just angrily then he started to
yell.  "I have absolutely no idea what your problem is.  Grow up!"

"Would you shut the hell up.  That was them that just passed us.  I don't
think they noticed us or they would have turned around.  Now I am gonna get
on the expressway.  Please calm down."  Lance said as he took the
expressway north.  It was now midnight.  Steve fell asleep as Lance drove.
As lance drove, the song Crash and Burn came on from the CD.  He looked
over at Steve lying there peacefully.  How could any of this have happened
he wondered?  Things were so much different 24 hours ago.  I feel like I
have something right now.  This is so sudden.  He looks so beautiful.  I
blew it.  This is like love at first sight and I blew it!  At that Lance
started crying.  HE couldn't hold it in.  He kept driving.  Steve slept the
whole night.  Something he hadn't done in forever, he had good night of
sleep the other night, but he woke up during it.  He was awoken sometime
after seven by a cell phone ringing.  Lance was still driving. Steve didn't
make any sounds though, he wanted to hear who it was and what was going on.

- "hello" Lance said

- "DON'T FUCKING HELLO ME LANCE, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?  DO YOU KNOW WHAT
TIME IT IS?" JC yelled

- "I have just crossed the Mississippi border and it is a little after 7."
Lance calmly said as he yawned.

- "What the fuck?"  JC Demanded

- "I am going home for the weekend ok?" Lance said

- "No it's not ok, everyone has been worried sick about you.  We came here
at midnight last night and you weren't here and neither was your Mustang.
And there is a Durango in the driveway that Chris said is Steve's.  Where
is he?" JC questioned

- "He is asleep in the passenger seat.  He has been since midnight.  We had
some words and he went to sleep.  He has no idea where we are going." Lance
responded

- "You stupid mother fucker.  We are mad at the wrong person.  He didn't do
anything wrong did he Lance?"  JC angrily asked.

- "No, JC, He didn't." Lance quietly said.

- "God Dammit Lance.  What the hell are you doing?" JC yelled

- "Huh?" was all Lance said.

- "Look what you are doing.  You have took our publicist out of the state,
against his will.  You spied on him.  You got four of your best friends mad
at him for absolutely no reason than for us to feel sorry for you.  God
Lance, you are such a Fuck up!  I considered you my best friend.  I use to
look up to you.  Now I look down upon you." JC said angrily

- "My four best friends?!?! Don't even say that!  I have really needed
someone in these past couple months, Hell, in the past couple years, but do
I have anyone? HELL NO! So don't even say you were my best friends!" Lance
yelled into the phone.

- "That's just it Lance, you needed someone, you need a guy.  Sorry but we
aren't fags...Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that.  What I meant to
say is that you need someone to love, someone that loves you in return.
You have friends, you need someone who is more than that.  None of us can
be that.  You know that."  JC said in a calmer voice.

- "Yeah I do.  It's just so hard JC, you don't even understand.  You go
around getting laid all the time.  You go and get girlfriends all the time.
You have that, I don't.  Yes, I'll tell you this, I did have someone once
in high school.  Ok?  Me and that person were together the whole summer
between Junior and Senior year.  I loved him!  It didn't work.  I loved
him, but I didn't get that feeling.  But I do when I am around Steve, I
feel safe, I feel safe, I feel warm." Lance said, calmly

- "Ok Lance, a couple problems right now.  One thing is that he hates you
right now, you do realize this I hope?"  JC said

- "Yes I know that." Lance said

- "OK, number 2, he doesn't know that you are gay.  So if you want anything
to happen there he kinda needs to know.  Number 3, you just met him
yesterday. And of course the obviou...." JC Said as Lance interrupted.

- "Uhm JC, please don't start with the being in *N Sync crap.  It really is
unnecessary.  I know it will be tough to do anything.  Look I am sorry JC,
but really, I am gonna go.  It's almost 8 and I think that I could be home
by 10 if I am lucky.  I will talk to you later.  Please tell the guys
everything and that I will explain it all later. ok?" Lance asked.

- "Roger that.  You owe me big Lance.  You have gotten yourself in a huge
mess.  I am here for you.  I am pissed at you but oh well.  Get things
cleared up with Steve, and remember, our flight on Tuesday to finish those
two songs. I am going to get everyone home and we will try and enjoy our
vacation.  I don't want to hear from you until Monday night or Tuesday
understand?" JC said in a motherly voice

- "Yes, I understand."  Lance said.

- "And I want to have good relations with Steve, fix it!  I don't care what
you do but I want everything to be normal again.  Only this time when you
come back you are going to be in a good mood and not a shitty mood! OK?" JC
asked

- "Yes, I understand." Lance said getting annoyed.

- "I am so serious Lance.  If he gets fired over this you are going to have
some problems of your own.  Well with that said, I am gonna get heading
off, I will cya soon." JC said.

- "Bye Bye, thanks Josh." Lance said.

- "Later, no prob." JC said as he and Lance hung up.  With that Lance set
the phone down on the floor and kept driving.  Steve heard the entire
conversation.  He was furious.  He didn't know what to think.  So many
thoughts were running through his head.  At 8:30, Steve finally spoke.

"Lance, where the hell are we?"  Steve asked Lance

"Mississippi." Lance said monotonously.

"Mississippi, ok, and WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING IN MISSISSIPPI?" Steve
yelled at Lance.

"Look Steve, please don't yell at me, we need to talk.  This is the best
place to do it.  Please just trust me Steve, I know you have no reason to
trust me.  I am so sorry, If you do not accept that I understand.  I just
need to talk to you. ok?"  Lance said quietly.  Steve was in total shock,
how the hell was he supposed to be mad at Lance, James...Jimmy, he had such
deep green eyes, his eyes had a sad expression.

"Ok Lance, I have no idea what is going on but ok, I will trust you.  I do
not accept your apology though.  I need this job.  I need to get along with
you considering I will be seeing you almost everyday and living on the same
bus as you.  You and the rest of them.  Now where are we going?"  Steve
asked somewhat annoyed.

"We going to the cabin my parents have.  It's nice and quiet and it's in
the woods.  It isn't gonna be bad cause this is the winter.  If it was
summer we would get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Are you hungry?"  Lance
asked after a brief pause.

"No, I am not, I want to get this over with." Steve said.  After that was
said they spent the next hour in silence.  Dead silence. There was no
radio.  Nothing.  Finally they arrived to their destination.  A pretty nice
cabin in the middle of nowhere.  It was 10:00.  They sat in the car for a
minute, neither one making a move.  After a few moments, Lance turned his
head an stared at Steve.  Steve could feel the eyes gazing into the side of
his head and he turned his head toward Lance, expecting Lance to turn away,
but he didn't.  Lance's green eyes met Steve's mesmerizing deep blue eye's.
They sat like that for maybe 5 minutes.

You can learn so much from a person by staring into their eyes, getting
lost into each others eyes.  They say the eyes give you a view of the soul,
they had that accomplished.  Not a word was said now, not a word was needed
to be said.  Lance gently intertwined his fingers with Steve's on left
right hand.  Slowly they both moved in, tears running town each of their
faces.  Not tears of pain, tears of joy, tears of love.  Steve moved in
closer, gently wiping the tear from Lances face with his right hand.  He
caressed his cheek.  Lance moved in further.  They were eye to eye, lip to
lip, slowly Steve moved in, causing his lips to gently touch Lance's.
Lance wrapped his left arm around Steve, Steve wrapped his right arm around
Lance.  Here they were, arm in arm, hand in hand, lip to lip.  Slowly they
started a deep passionate kiss...

TBC...

Well there ya go.  After all the negative installments, chapter 7 is
positive.  You will have to wait till next chapter for the rest of this
event, the kiss.  Lots more to come.  After listening to Savage Garden over
and over I had calmed.  I was gonna have a car crash but that wouldn't have
been good.  So a happy episode for Lance's Birthday!  HE's 21!

Happy Birthday To You!
Happy Birthday To You!
Happy Birthday Dear Lance!
Happy Birthday To You!
