Subject: Through all the Fame

Ok, hello all! My author name is RHalliwell, so if you ever email me, you
can call me by that! Now, I do not know if any of the NSync guys are gay, or
bi or anything like that, but we can dream in a FICTIONAL world! This is
purely fiction! Now this story switches from past to present so cope with me
please, alright?! Okay, here is your story!


Chapter One- The Fame...

           Justin stared out the window of the bus as it was making its way
down the Orlando street. 'Good, almost home.' he thought to himself. It made
him happy to think of home as he looked around the tour bus him and his four
friends shared together on the road. It seemed like a million years to him
was spent on the bus rather than spending his days at home. But that was his
job and he knew it. It did also make him happy to realise he had a job few
people could ever get. Singing and dancing seemed to be his life.
           He looked over to the other side of the bus where J.C. sat
reading a TeenBop magazine. "They always put something in here we didn't
say," J.C. said to no one in particular. "Look. They ask us if we buy our
own clothes. I remember us saying our fashion designers and ourselves pick
out the clothes together, but they say we say 'Our manager does it for us."
           Justin smiled. J.C. continued. "Why would our manager do it? I
mean, come on.Hes never with us. He is always at the studio." Justin looked
back out the window and said, "Why should it matter J.C.? I mean how many
times have they put something in their magazines we didn't say?Besides, they
all ask the same questions and give the same answers."
           J.C. started saying something but Justin zoned out and began
thinking again about all he had and all he had missed. He had the fame,the
money, the respect. But he lacked family time,a home to come home to every
night after work,privacy, someone he could love. That was what Justin really
wanted. Someone to love. Sure Britney was perfect, but Justin knew it wasn't
working out, and she knew it to.They wouldn't even kiss, hold hands, tell
each other they loved one another.The only time they did that was in front
of the cameras. They both knew that was what the people wanted to see.
           How did he manage to lead a superstar life?...The Mickey Mouse
Days.

1993-


"Justin, honey," The producer lady said coming into the make-up room where
Justin sat getting touched up with make-up. "Your needed on the set in three
minutes, alright?" she said. "Sure, no problem." Justin told her.
      When he was finished with makeup he headed for the set. "Hey
Justin!How's it going!" He heard someone call out his name as he turned a
hallway. Looking back he saw it was J.C. "Hey J.C." He replied. "I'm doing
good."
      J.C. smiled. "Good, um... I guess I'll see you later then?" Justin
gave him a puzzled look. "Yeah, I guess.I mean, we are driving you home."
Justin told him. J.C. walked away and Justin stood there for a moment not
knowing what to think. After a moment Justin made his way to the set for
that days show.


      "Canceled! No, you can't do that!" J.C. yelled. He was standing in the
producers office. "I'm sorry," Dan said(producer). "I don't make these
decisions. They need more shows in our air time-" He was cut off. "I cannot
believe your doing this!" J.C. yelled. Dan frowned. "J.C. calm down. I don't
make these decisions. If I did, do you think the show would be canceled?"
J.C. looked at him for a moment. Dan stood up. "I'm sorry, i'm just as upset
about it as you are. But theres nothing I can do." J.C. walked over to the
window and stared down into the parking lot below. Two people seemed to be
arguing over who got to drive home.
      "I just don't know what I'm going to do. I mean, working on this show
was one of the best things i've ever done, and now its..." J.C. felt the
tears well up in his eyes. "So have you told the others?" He said fighting
the tears back. The two people down below were still arguing, and for some
reason J.C. felt he would rather be down there than up in the room he was in
with news that just tore his world apart.
       "No, not yet." Dan answered. "J.C. don't let this stop you." J.C.
looked away from the window and back at Dan. "What do you mean?" He asked
making his way back to the desk Dan was now sitting at. Dan leaned forward
and placed his hands on the desk. "J.C. your talented. You can sing and act
and look how far its gotten you. So you've hit a bump in the road. So what?
Just because this show has ended doesn't mean your talent has to.Do you
think every person on this show is going to stop what they love to do
because this show ended? No! They are going to keep going because they know
that life has its ups and downs. This may be the down, but there is only one
way to go when you are down, and that is up, and with your talent, I believe
you will go up.I think you'll be back on top of the world before you know
it." J.C. smiled and realised that was what he needed to hear. "Thank you
Dan. I'll never forget what you just said. Never."

         "I can't believe it! Were canceled!" Justin said to his mom as they
were driving home. "After all the great times we've had...i'm going to miss
it."
           "Me too." J.C. said from the backseat." But don't worry about it.
There are other things." Justin turned in his seat and looked back at J.C.
It was then Justin began to get the feeling he could not describe. J.C.'s
hair, his eyes, his mouth, the way he had himself sprawled out on the
backseat gave Justin a feeling he had only felt once before with him.The
other time had been when they were rehearsing for a skit and J.C had to
perform without his shirt. Justin had no idea what kind of feelings he was
having, but he knew they were not normal.
            "Why are you so happy about this?" Justin asked pushing away the
feeling he was getting. J.C. looked at him then smiled, which was making the
feeling come back stronger for Justin. "I'm not happy about it," J.C. told
him. "I got some advice from Dave that helped me realise some things."
Justin turned back in his seat still trying to push back the feelings. "
Well, J.C. your home." Justin's mother said back to J.C. as she pulled into
the driveway of his home. They said their goodbyes, and it suddenly hit
Justin that that was the last time he would ever see J.C. again.
  So he thought.


*************************************************************************
   "Justin!" .... "Justin!" Justin awoke with the start and looked out the
bus window to see they had stopped. "Were here Justin!" J.C. said grabbing
his bags and making his way off the bus. Justin slowly got up, excited deep
inside that he was finally home. Grabbing his bags he followed J.C. off the
bus and into his mothers home. "Justin, honey! Your home!" his mom said
making her way from the kitchen to the doorway to help him with his bags. "I
thought you were staying at your new home? I mean you just bought, and you
still haven't lived in it." Justin laughed. "Well I want to be here mom.Just
right here." His mom laughed then came, "I was shocked to find you shaved
all your hair off sweetie, but it looks good."

"Well the fro wasn't working, so..." Justin trailed off. "I'm just glad to
be home." His mom looked at him. "The fames got you overwhelmed." She told
him. "I'm really glad your home to."

       Justin layed in bed that night with his hands behind his head, and
himself only dressed in boxers. J.C. was in the next room, but Justin could
tell he was not asleep. J.C. had the radio playing. Low enough not to wake
anyone, loud enough for Justin to just barely hear what the people were
singing.Justin smiled at the thought of J.C.. Then slowly but surley the
feelings began to rise, just like they did when he was younger.But Justin
knew what the feelings were now.It was the feelings you get when your around
a person you really like, and half the time you can't get them out of your
mind. Justin didn't push away the feelings like he used to. He let them
stay. He let his mind soar and he let himself daydream the dreams of him and
J.C. together.

       "Oooh, get these!" J.C. yelled picking up a large package of Jolly
Rangers. Justin pushed the shopping cart toward him and motioned for him to
put the bag in the cart. They were shopping for Justin's mom, and also for
themselves. They needed to get some things for the tour they had to get back
on. They were leaving the next day, and they both thought they should get
some things before they left.
        "Maybe we should get some bottled water too. You know how Chris gets
when we don't have water." J.C. remarked looking at a bag of Gobstoppers.
"Yeah," Justin replied. "He does that thing with his nose. You know, where
it gets all scrunched up, and then gives you that look that says 'Prepare to
die!' As if we are responsible for him drinking all the water." J.C.
laughed. "Oh, and his face gets all red and hes like quiet until one of us
offers to buy him some." J.C. laughed harder.
         As they turned the corner they heard "Oh, my god! It's NSync!Justin
and J.C.!" Turning around they saw three girls running up to them, followed
by six more who must have heard and came running around the corner about to
kill each other trying to get to them.
          "Never fails." Justin heard J.C. whisper. Justin pulled out his
marker. He had brung it because he knew eventually it would happen. "Oh my
g-.. you guys are so hot!" One girl yelled. "Could you sign my bra?!"
Another yelled.After fifteen minutes of signing, talking, and convincing
them they had to go they paid for what they bought and made their way out of
the store.
            After putting everything into the car, the two scrambled in,
J.C. driving, and prepared to make thier way home.On the way, Justin in his
mind was going crazy, for the fact his feelings were growing stronger and
stronger everytime he was around J.C. and just being next to him was about
to drive him over the edge.

            "Back on the road again!" Joey yelled. "Boy, it felt like it was
yesterday we just got home. Ya'd never think its been two weeks." Lance
smiled. "Well I for one am ready to start performing some sold out
concerts." He said puting a hard piece od candy in his mouth.
             J.C. stood up from the crowded kitchenette table and made his
way to the front of the bus. "Uh-oh, looks like J.C's gonna drive the bus!"
Chris said. After a few minutes, the bus stopped and the driver made his way
into the kitchenette, and then sat down. The bus started to move. "Hey,"
Justin said coming from the lounge area, "Why'd we stop?" Lance pointed to
the front of the bus. "J.C.s driving."  Justin smiled. "I have to talk to
him. I'll be right back." Justin walked to the front, and closed the door
between the driver and the rest of the bus and sat down in the passenger
seat next to a smiling J.C.
             "J.C." Justin said trying to make the words form to tell him
what ge was about to say. "Yeah Just." J.C. said glancing at him then back
at the road. "I-" Justin said cutting himself off."I-" Then as if he were
filled with anger Justin shouted. "J.C. I'm in love with you!" The rest was
a blur from there. Justin felt the bus swerve. Then came bumps, huge ones
that seemed to have almost knocked Justin out of his seat. Then before
Justin could grab on to something, he heard dishes break,the guys yell, and
felt himself fly towards the wall. He hit the wall hard. Then all was still.
            Through all the smoke Justin couldn't see what had happened.
Then he felt arms grab him and felt himself being pulled out from what felt
like a window. Justin breathed in fresh air, and was placed on the grass
beside the road. Justin looked at the bus and saw what happened. The bus had
flipped over. "What were you thinking?!" He heard. He looked up at the
person who had drug him out of the bus. J.C. "Springing that up on me like
that!" Justin didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry I-" He didn't know what to
say. Looking back at the bus he realised he was the balme.
              J.C. looked at him then smiled. "Your really something, you
know that?" He said to Justin who was getting himself off the ground.
"What?" Justin said not sure what he meant. "J.C. opened his mouth to say
something but before he could, the guys came running from the bus. "Thanks
for not helping us!" Chris said obviously annoyed from the wreck.
                "What was that all about! Don't you know how to drive!"
Lance said looking back at the bus. It was still smoking. The rest of the
crew came up to them. "Anybody hurt?" They asked. Once everyone knew no one
was hurt, the driver vowed that he would never let J.C. drive. "It's not his
fault." Justin said. "I told J.C. I lo-"
                 J.C. interrupted him. "What he means is I was careless, and
I should have been watching the road. I was...um... I was dancing," Lance
looked puzzled. "Dancing?" J.C. laughed a sly laugh. "Yeah," he said. "And I
forgot to grab the wheel, and-... well look what happened." The driver
cursed."Well don't worry we'll have this fixed."
                  Everyone except Justin and J.C. began walking back to the
overturned bus. "Dancing?!" Justin asked. "You were dancing?!" J.C. looked
at him. "Well my heart was." J.C said. Justin stood shocked.
                  J.C. smiled again and said, "Justin I have been waiting
for you to tell me that since the day we met.But it seemed you loved
Britney, and to tell you the truth, I never thought you would be interested
in guys. I never thought you would tell me you loved me, I guess I was
shocked when you finally told me." Justin looked back at the bus. "I can
tell."
                 "So what does this mean?" J.C. asked. "Are we  commitment
material?" Justin smiled. "What do we tell the guys? Britney? I mean if, i'm
shocked myself. Imagine what they would think."
                  Justin looked at J.C. "I think we are commitment material.
But I don't think we should tell anyone." J.C. looked back at the group of
guys at their bus. "Your right. And Justin, I promise to make you happy
always."
