Never Too Much
Chapter 17

by JT Poole

// Fernandina Beach, FL -- Baptist Medical Center -- ICU Waiting Room //

--- JT's POV ---

That bitch just slapped me, slapped me I tell you.  She must be out of her
mind to slap me like that and not expect for me to get up in that ass.  How
dare her do that to me.  Here she is acting like a damn saint and still
blaming me for Jamie's sinful life.  Only the Lord knows how much I have put
up with this bitch and I am not going to put up with her no more.  Lord
knows that if Chris, Dan and the doctor wasn't here, I might have commenced
to beating a bitch down like a pimp on Christmas and smack the hell out of
her ass and ask her where my money at. I am not young and naïve any more and
I am not going to put up with her rough and disrespectful treatment of me.

"You are so lucky that these guys are here Diane.  I've had enough of you
treating me the way you have been over the years.  I`m not going to stand
for it anymore."  I say, walking over to her as Chris stands up quickly in
between Diane and me.

"JT stop, just let it drop man."  Chris says, turning around to face me as
Dan stands up this time.

"Yeah baby don't get upset all over this woman.  It's not worth it baby."
Dan says, wrapping his arms around me as Diane turns her nose down at me,
looking as though she's disgusted with the affection we were showing.

"I am not going to drop this.  You guys just don't know what this woman put
me through."  I say looking at her with hate and malice in my eyes.

"Yes I do JT, I know."  Justin says, standing up and walking over to me.

"How would you possibly know how she's treated me and what she's done?"  I
ask looking at him, some of my anger transferring to him.

"I know very well.  She treated me that way too.  The reason why me and
Lance didn't make it."  Justin replied.

"So you two did date."  I say, looking at him.

"Yeah we did JT, I'm sorry.  We dated for a few months, but she nagged and
berated the both of us so much that I just couldn't deal with her no more.
After dealing with that every time she was around or we were closer to her,
I decided to just let go."  Justin explained, as I turned around, looking
out the windows.

"You were both nothing but trouble.  I'm glad you are no longer with my
 boy."  Diane stated, getting up as Dr. Shafter walks into the waiting area.

"Seem like if he hadn't been your boy he might of made somebody a halfway
decent man."  I say, as Dr. Shafter walks over to me, patting me on the
back.

"Mr. Poole can you calm down please.  I don't need you getting worked up."
Dr. Shafter says, turning around to look at Diane and Dan.

"I'm fine Doctor, I just need to get away from her."  I say, shaking as my
tears finally came.

"Baby come with me.  I think we need to go for a walk."  Dan states,
grabbing me by the hand and pulling me out of the waiting area.

"That sounds like a good idea Mr. Miller."  Dr. Shafter says, looking at
Diane, wishing he could toss her out of the hospital.

// Outside in the Hospital Parking Lot //

"You feeling better now?"  Dan asks, holding JT's hand in his as they passed
other cars and other people walking towards the hospital.

"Not really.  I just need to let all this stuff roll off my back and just
forget."  JT says, looking down at the ground as Dan wraps his arms around
him and kisses him on the cheek.

"You are going to be okay baby.  You will be my husband soon and everything
is going to work out fine."  Dan says, leaning up against my SUV, holding me
 in his arms.  "I love you baby."

"I love you too Dan."  JT says as he starts humming.

"What is that baby?"  Dan asks JT, placing a kiss to the palm of his hand.

"Just a little something by Mariah Carey."  JT replies, closing his eyes/

"I like her.  Sounds like...sounds like `Fantasy'.  That's one of my favorite
songs."  Dan says, smiling widely.

"That's what I was humming."  JT answers him, smiling as he clears his
throat.  "Listen to this and tell me how you like it...

Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Oh baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you'd only knew
All the things that go through my mind...

But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
So deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

Fantasy..."  JT sang as his cell phone rings.  "Hello?"

"JT we need you to come back into the building and quick."  Chris responds
as the phone goes dead.

"What's wrong baby?"  Dan asks, looking at JT as he places his phone back in
his pocket.

"We need to get back inside in a hurry."  JT replies, grabbing Dan by his
hand as the two of them walk back towards the building.

"Baby that's was beautiful."  Dan states, kissing JT on his cheek as they
walked up to the hospital doors.

"Th...thank you Dan."  JT states as he and Dan walks back into the hospital,
getting in the elevator, going back to the ICU.

// ICU Waiting Room //

"What's going on Chris?  Why the frantic voice just now?"  JT asks, walking
over to Chris.

"It's Lance."  Chris states, stopping before his tears overtook him.

"Oh no, is he dead?"  JT asks, thinking the worst, his legs giving out,
causing him to fall against the wall.

"No he's not dead, but he might as well be."  Chris says, walking over to JT
and hugging him.

"What's wrong?  If he's not dead, what's wrong?"  JT asks, hyperventilating
a bit.

"Guys what's going on?  If he's not dead, what's wrong with him?"  Dan asks.

"The doctor just read the results of the tests that they ran on him."  Chris
states, looking down as Ashley walks over and hugs the both of them.  "Lance
is HIV positive."

"He's what?"  JT and Dan say in unison.

"Lance has HIV."  Chris says, separating from JT as Diane walks back into
the room.

"I hope you are happy now!"  Diane screams, tears running down her face as
she turns to look at JT.  "He's going to die now!  If you never had walked
him down that road in the first place, he wouldn't be in this condition."

"Diane I am not...oh what the fuck!"  JT shouts, turning around and leaving
the room.

"I thought I had made this clear!  I see you are still a bitch!"  Dan
states, glaring at Diane as he leaves the room in search of his fiancé.

"Diane you have to stop treating JT that way.  He's not the reason for Lance
being gay.  Lance was gay way before he and JT got together."  Chris states,
as Diane's eyes almost popped out of her head.

"Liar!  That's a lie Christopher!"  Diane screams, getting up from her seat,
smacking Chris in the face.

"That woman sure does like to smack people."  Ashley says under his breath.

"Diane!"  Justin screams, standing up now.  "Chris is telling you the truth.
You knew Lance was gay way before he and JT got together.  Why are you not
accepting it?  Why are you still blaming all of this on JT?  If you want to
blame someone for Lance being gay blame me."

"Why should I blame you for that, you are not the one responsible, JT is."
Diane states, walking away from Justin, moving over to the windows.

"You are really dense Diane.  You are in denial and you know it.  What about
the time you walked in on me and Lance having sex?  That was way before he
and JT got together.  What about the times he was always going away with me?
That was before JT.  What do you say now?"  Justin asks, as Diane breaks
down and starts crying in the spot she was standing in.

"You were not having sex, you were just in the same bed together."  Diane
says, wiping her eyes on her handkerchief.  "You two were in the same bed
because you were closer in age and you both felt free around each other.
You two were bonding."

"Oh yeah that was bonding."  Justin says, turning around.  "We bonded every
night those first few months we were on tour."

"Don't be flippant Justin."  Chris says, as Diane looks up at him, her eyes
bloodshot.

"Not being flippant, just trying to make her see that she shouldn't be
blaming JT for Lance being gay.  He was wayyyy gay before JT came along."
Justin states, walking back over to Diane.  "Why don't you ask Lance who was
it that he first had his way with."

"Justin!"  Nick and Chris shout together as Diane looks at him and smacks
the hell outta him, knocking him backwards, causing him to fall over the
chair that was behind him.

"Justin!"  Nick shouts, pushing past Diane, trying to get to his lover.
"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I am okay, just hurt my arm a little bit."  Justin replies as Nick
helps him up.  "Are you going to hit everybody around here Diane?"

"No Justin, only one you boys are flip with me."  Diane replies as Dr.
Shafter walks into the waiting area.

"Excuse me everyone, where is Mr. Poole?"  Dr. Shafter asks.

"Right now I don't know where he is, but I think I will go look for him."
Justin says as he and Nick walk out of the waiting area.

// In JT's Jeep //

"I feel so defenseless thinking about all this stuff right now."  JT says,
turning away from Dan.

"Look JT I am not going to let you wallow in this.  This is all going to
pass.  I feel sorry for Lance too, but none of this is your fault.  You can'
t blame yourself for all the crap that has happened over the last few days."
Dan says, holding JT's face in his hand.

"But if I hadn't..."  JT says as Dan kisses him.

"But nothing baby.  Lance getting kidnapped had nothing to do with nothing
you did."  Dan says, leaning in and kissing him again.

"Yeah I know Dan, I know.  Diane is blaming me and I am quite sure Lance has
some choice words to say to me too."  JT says as his cell phone starts
ringing.  "Hello?"

"JT where are you?"  Serena asks, as JT hits his head with his hand.

"Serena I am so sorry.  I totally forgot about work."  JT responds.  "I am
still at my beach house in Fernandina.  Did Johnny tell you what was going
on?"

"No he didn't.  He's been keeping things quiet around here, but I did watch
the news and I do know that Lance was kidnapped."  Serena explains.  "Is he
still missing?"

"Not anymore."  JT answers her.  "We are here at the hospital and..."

"Is something else wrong?"  Serena asks, interrupting JT.

"Well I don't think I need to talk about that over the phone with you
Serena."  JT says, looking at Dan.

"Is there something wrong JT?"  Serena asks.  "Tell me man."

"I can't Serena.  It's not for me to tell."  JT replies.

"Well fine then.  You guys are late getting into the studio, it's my duty to
make sure you get there.  JT I'm on the next plane to Fernandina.  Be
looking for me."  Serena states as the phone goes dead.

"Great, just great."  JT says.

"What's wrong baby?"  Dan asks.

"Serena is on her way here."  JT answers him.  "She doesn't like it when
people beat around the bush with her, so she's coming here."

"Is she mean or something?"  Dan asks.

"Not exactly.  She's cool and all, but she can go too far sometimes."  JT
states, looking under the seat for something.  "Serena is a cool girl, she
has hung out with me and Jamie in the past and she's cool with Chris too."

"Seems like a little happy family."  Dan says, smiling, looking at JT.
"Baby what is it that you are looking for?"

"I'm looking for something I dropped down here earlier."  JT says, opening
the door now and actually stepping out of the jeep to look under the seat.

"Baby just tell me what you are looking for and I will help you find it."
Dan says, getting out of the jeep too and walking around to where JT was
standing.

"It's none of your business baby."  JT says, looking behind the seat, he
spots what he was looking for, picks the item up and turns around to face
Dan.

"What are you smiling about baby?"  Dan asks, looking at JT closely as he
tries to see what's in his hand.

"This."  JT says, grabbing Dan's hand, kissing his palm.  "This is for you."

"Oh my God...it's...it's so beautiful."  Dan says, looking at the ring JT placed
on his finger, holding it up to the light.  "Oh my God baby.  When did you
get this?"

"I got it the other day when I drove back to Orlando."  JT answers, as Dan
moves in and starts kissing him.  "I was walking around through the mall
when I saw it.  I thought you would like it and so I bought it.

"I love it baby."  Dan says, pulling back with a frown.  "I haven't gotten
you a ring yet."

"There's still time baby.  This is just my engagement ring to you."  JT
replies, kissing Dan on the cheek as he starts to tickle him.

"Baby stop, you are going to make me pee my pants."  Dan says, squirming in
JT's arms as they stop and kiss again.  "I love you JT."

"I love you Dan."  JT replies, kissing Dan hard and quick as the separate.
"Why don't we go back in and see what's happening now?"

"Are you sure you want to do that baby?"  Dan asks, spotting Nick and Justin
running towards them.

// A Few Cars Away -- 20 Minutes Earlier //

"I know that was way before I met you baby, but I feel like...like I did
something wrong."  Justin says, as Nick leans into him kissing him on the
cheek.

"There's no reason for you to feel that way baby.  I can't be made for
something you did before we ever met.  Besides he's your best friend."  Nick
says.  "If it makes you feel any better.  Before Brian got married to
Leighanne, I slept with him."

"What?  Really?"  Justin says, doing a double take as he looks at Nick.  "Is
Brian gay or something?"

"No not really."  Nick answers him.

"You slept with him?"  Justin asks, not believing Brian to not be gay.  "How
did you manage to get a straight man into bed?"

"Well it's pretty simple really.  I had a crush on Brian and he found out
about it.  One day I was sitting in our hotel room crying and he wanted to
know what for.  He later found out that I had a crush on him.  At the time
he didn't do anything about it, but for my birthday he changed for one
night.  As a birthday present to me, he gave me a night of friendly passion
so to speak."  Nick explains, leaning in and kissing Justin on the cheek
again.

"So he went gay for one night to satisfy you?"  Justin asks, looking at Nick
intently.

"Well let's just say we satisfied each other that night."  Nick replies,
smiling as Justin caught the meaning of what he was saying.

"You shittin' me.  Brian Littrell took one for the team.  Go Team."  Justin
says, looking over Nick's shoulder, spotting JT and Dan.

"No I am not baby.  Why don't we change the subject, I don't want to talk
about Brian."  Nick says, caressing Justin's cheek.  "This is our private
time right now.  It's all about us, nobody else right now."

"You are right baby.  I'm sorry for that."  Justin replies, leaning in and
placing a kiss to Nick's lips as they see what looks like a camera flash.

"What the hell was that?"  Nick asks looking around, same as Justin.

"I think someone is taking pictures."  Justin answers him.  "This is fucking
great!"

"I'd say."  Nick says, as he and Justin take off running towards the
hospital.

// Back at JT's Jeep //

"What's up you two?"  JT asks, looking at a out of breath Justin and Nick.

"We...we think someone has been taking pictures."  Justin says, panting a bit.

"Where?"  JT asks, looking around.  "Did you two see who it might have been
or where the person was?"

"No JT, not at all.  All I saw was the flash light and then we ran over
here."  Justin replies, standing up now.

"I think you three better get inside with the rest of security."  JT
replies.

"What about you?"  Dan asks.

"I'm going to ask Craig did he see anything since he's right over there."
JT says, pointing out Craig standing over by some other cars.

"He's been out here all this time?"  Dan asks.

"Yep.  He followed us out here."  JT replies.

"Well I hope he saw the person and gets them."  Justin says.  "I can hear
Johnny now and I really don't want to hear him."

"I know Justin.  Bad thing is, our girl Serena is coming, so you might get
chewed out by her first."  JT says, as Justin looks at him with a little bit
of fear in his eyes.

"What?  Why is she coming?"  Justin asks.

"Well you guys were supposed to be in the studio last week laying down some
tracks."  JT replies as Justin looks around.

"But I thought this was our vacation time."  Justin says.

"It is your vacation time.  Just one or two sessions."  JT states, smiling
when his cell phone rang.  "Hello."

"Well hello mister.  I will be there within the hour.  I decided to drive
myself there instead of catch a plane.  Be on the look out for me later on.
Where are you all now?"  Serena asks.

"We are at the hospital Serena."  JT says, looking at Justin.  "Where are
you know?"

"I'm at a gas station down Highway #1 right now, but I am going to make some
turns and I will be there soon."  Serena states as the sound of her smacking
on something can be heard.  "Let the guys know that when I get there we are
having a meeting."

"Okay Serena, I will tell them."  JT replies, making a gagging face at
Justin as he smiles a bit.

"I saw that."  Serena says.

"What?  I didn't do nuttin'"  JT says, changing his expression quickly.

"Just tell those `In the Sink' boys that they all best be accounted for at
the meeting."  Serena says laughing.

"That's not funny Serena, but I will tell them."  JT says, smiling at the
joke she made.

"Yeah it was and you know it.  See you soon.  Bye."  Serena says.

"Yeah, bye Serena."  JT says, as he places his phone in his pocket.  "Well
Serena will be here within an hour she said and you `In the Sink' boys best
be accounted for at her meeting."

"Hey, that's not funny man.  I hate that joke."  Justin replies.

"Yeah I know, but she said it first."  JT says, wrapping his arm around
Justin's neck, making an effort to comfort him.  "Come on guys, get inside
while I go talk to Craig."
